The emperor was originally in a good mood, but when he heard Mo Xiao mention the prince, his face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Don't mention him to me."

Mo Xiao shut his mouth instantly and said no more.

The emperor calmed down for a moment, looked at Mo Xiao again, and said slowly: "When I was your age, I already had several princes and princesses under my knees. You have had enough fun over the years, and it's time to settle down."

Mo Xiao's hands slowly clenched. He wanted to say something, but then he thought of the Queen's instructions and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

"Is there a woman you like?" The emperor looked at Mo Xiao with a smile, like a loving father, "If there is, I will make the decision for you."

Mo Xiao lowered his head to prevent the emperor from seeing his expression clearly.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said softly: "My son's reputation has not been very good these years. How can those famous ladies raised in boudoir dare to approach my son."

As he spoke, he scratched his head uncomfortably.

The emperor laughed: "Who told you that you don't know how to restrain yourself on weekdays?"

Mo Xiao tugged at the corner of his mouth dryly and remained silent.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Since you don't have the person you like, how about I point you to someone?"

Mo Xiao's eyes flashed, but before he could speak, the queen came in from outside, holding freshly brewed tea in her hand.

When the emperor saw her, his eyes moved from Mo Xiao's face to the queen's face, and he said with a smile: "Come here, help me think about which family's daughter is best."

The queen took one look at Mo Xiao's face, smiled, put the tea in the emperor's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, just watch it."

The emperor took a sip of tea and glanced at Mo Xiao: "I think it's good if he likes it."

The queen glanced at Mo Xiao, and then laughed: "What does he know? You will make no mistakes if you listen to Your Majesty."

After saying that, he looked at Mo Xiao and said softly: "Your father will never harm you, and what he gives you will definitely be the best."

Mo Xiao's Adam's apple rolled, and after a while he raised his head to look at the emperor, and said slowly: "What my father gave me is naturally the best."

The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When she went to see the emperor again, her face was much more relaxed than before. She smiled and asked, "Which family's daughter does your Majesty think is best?"

The emperor pondered for a moment, as if thinking, and then said: "If the youngest daughter of General Chen's family was not married, she would be a suitable candidate, but it is a pity."

The queen was stunned and just smiled without saying anything.

At first Concubine Li tried her best to get Chen Yuan to marry the prince, but in the end it was all in vain and Chen Yuan got married quickly. Now the emperor relented and wanted to give Mo Xiao, but it was too late.

The emperor turned to say: "I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance has a daughter who is waiting to be married. What does the queen think of her?"

The queen raised her eyebrows: "The daughter of the household minister? How do I remember that his two daughters? Are you talking about the legitimate daughter or the concubine?"

The emperor frowned: "She is a legitimate daughter, and only a legitimate daughter can match Mo Xiao."

The Queen raised her eyebrows slightly again.

She still remembered that at this year's palace banquet, she mentioned the two daughters of the Household Secretary. At that time, she didn't know that Mo Xiao already had a crush on him, so she wanted to help him get to know each other, and also inquired about the emperor's story, so she mentioned the two daughters to him.

But what did the emperor say to her?

He said: "Why do I think the concubine next to me is more worthy of Lao Jiu?"

As soon as the queen heard this, she knew that the emperor still didn't take Mo Xiao seriously and had thoughts of suppressing him, so she smiled and didn't mention it again.
