"That's it, what else?" Mo Lishang frowned.

Her appearance made Tong Yehan's heart move for no reason. He actually thought of the Fairy Demon Girl through Mo Lishang. Then he smiled sadly. He was really thinking about the Fairy Demon Girl so much that he actually overlapped two people who were completely unrelated and even worlds apart.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, and there was more disdain in his eyes when he looked at Mo Lishang.

How can she compare with the fairy witch?

Just the looks are totally different. Although the Fairy Witch looks ordinary, the sharpness in her eyes is something that Mo Lishang will never be able to match in her lifetime. The Fairy Witch also has a thousand-year-old wisdom, calmness, and a noble aura that is so compelling that it is impossible for a country girl like Mo Lishang to match it. Not to mention the Fairy Witch's enchanting evil charm that makes people willing to throw themselves into the fire...

Although Mo Lishang was more beautiful than the fairy demon girl, she was only of average appearance to the King of Qing who was used to seeing beautiful women. If one really had to use words of praise to describe her, they could only say that she was pretty.

Thinking of this, he seemed to be immersed in the stunning glimpse he had at that moment.

"This young master?"

Seeing that he seemed to be lost in sweet memories and even absent-minded, Mo Lishang reminded him.

"Oh, if I am really the Prince of Qing, Miss has offended the prince just now, and she will be punished according to the law."

He came back to his senses and smiled faintly, with a slightly teasing tone, but there was no trace of charm in his eyes.

"Punishment?"

Mo Lishang took a step back, staring at Tong Yehan blankly, biting his lip at a loss.

That look made Tong Yehan secretly shake his head again.

In the distance, Mo Wen hurried over, and when he saw Tong Yehan, he shouted, "The Third Prince has come to my humble abode. I am sorry for not coming to greet you from afar. Please forgive me."

Tong Yehan smiled and walked towards Mo Wen. When passing by, he whispered to Mo Lishang in a teasing tone: "If you become my prince's consort, I will forgive what happened just now and attribute it to the fun and playfulness between husband and wife."

After saying that, he walked towards Mo Wen as if nothing had happened.

"General, ignorance is not a crime. Moreover, you are a pillar of the country. I admire you very much. I have been busy with government affairs in the past and have neglected to get close to you. Today I happened to be free, so I came to visit you. It may be a bit abrupt, so I hope you will not mind."

Tong Yehan's voice became increasingly distant, carrying with it a vague aura.

"Your Highness, you really humiliate me. This steward did not even inform me, and made me bear the blame for neglect. How hateful."

In the distance, Mo Wen was both bowing and blaming himself, but his voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

"It was I who asked the butler not to report it. I just wanted to experience the unique scenery of the general's mansion. Please don't blame the butler Yu anymore."

Tong Yehan quickly stepped forward and helped Mo Wen up, his words full of kindness.

"Speaking of scenery, how can this humble servant's home catch the prince's eye? Your Majesty, you are joking."

Mo Wen stood up and chatted with others.

"No, this general's mansion is indeed very beautiful, with rare flowers hidden deep inside, which is not available in the imperial palace."

After Tong Yehan finished speaking, he looked back at Mo Lishang meaningfully.

Mo Lishang was standing far away under the flying willow trees, her clothes fluttering between the jade silk ribbons, making her look ethereal like a fairy. At that moment, her figure actually overlapped with that of the fairy and the demon, which made Tong Yehan slightly stunned.

Mo Wen also looked at her, and at that moment a hint of smile and calculation seemed to flash across his eyes.

The two walked farther and farther away, slowly disappearing at the end of the bamboo forest, until even their voices could no longer be heard.

"Miss, will the general promise you to the King of Qing?"

Rushi looked at Mo Lishang, whose face had no expression, worriedly and asked anxiously.

Mo Lishang shook his head.

At this moment, she no longer looked as cute and innocent as before, but rather as cold as ice.

"Why? The Prince of Qing clearly showed that he was interested in you. The general should have taken advantage of the situation. He just happened to have climbed up the ladder. Now the Prince of Qing will surely be able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, and the general's mansion will surely prosper forever."

Ruhua started analyzing it immediately.

"It is because Prince Qing has the best chance of becoming the crown prince that my father won't let me marry him. Don't forget, my father has more than one daughter."

A mocking arc appeared on Mo Lishang's lips.

"Miss, are you talking about Mo Yaner?"

Rushi's face looked a little solemn, and she felt sorry for Mo Lishang.

"Mo Yan'er is your father's sweetheart, isn't she? Your father watched her grow up. For personal reasons, he would like to let Mo Yan'er marry the King of Qing. This is also true for public reasons, because Mo Yan'er's appearance is easier for me to grasp. After all, I was born in the mountains for four years, and this period of time was out of your father's reach. He is a man who plans everything and will definitely not allow any potential danger to exist."

"Then does the general want to marry you to Prince Chen?" Ruhua exclaimed in shock, and said angrily: "If Prince Chen fails in his bid for the throne, then you will definitely be implicated, and even your life will be in danger. What is the general thinking?"

"What heart? Just a wolf's heart!" Mo Lishang sneered.

Unfortunately, she is not Mo Lishang from her previous life, so how could she allow herself to be manipulated by her scumbag father?

"But if the general is indecisive and gives his two daughters to two equally matched men, won't Prince Qing and Prince Chen be angry?"

"Of course I'll be angry, but what if I have no choice?"

Mo Lishang exuded a chill all over her body. Mo Wen's last glance just now made her see the determination of a man blinded by greed.

"A last resort?"

Ruhua was a little confused, with confusion in her big eyes.

“For example…” Mo Lishang said halfway and looked off into the distance. His voice was so low that it was barely audible, but it was filled with boundless pain. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, “Rice is cooked into rice!”

"You mean..."

Ruhua suddenly covered her lips and looked at Mo Lichang in disbelief. She had been an orphan since she was a child and had always longed for his or her love, but when she saw Mo Lichang's situation, she suddenly felt relieved that she had no father.

"Silly boy, not every father is like this. Very few, very few, very few..."

Mo Lishang sensed Ruhua's thoughts, grabbed her hand, and a gloomy look appeared on his little face.

In her previous life, she was married to Tong Yeming in this way. Although she was the principal wife, she was criticized for this. Tong Yeming even used this as an excuse and after he ascended the throne, he did not make her the queen, but only a noble concubine.

"Miss, you've suffered so much... woooo..." Ruhua cried and fell into Mo Lishang's arms.

"Silly girl, don't forget that I still have a mother. For the sake of my loving mother, I must also be strong."

Mo Lishang sighed, patted her on the back, and said, "Don't worry, this matter will eventually be settled, but it depends on who will do it."

After she finished speaking, a smile as cold as ice appeared on her face. That smile was as beautiful and pure as snowflakes in an icy sky, but her eyes were extremely vicious. Who in this world can perfectly interpret purity and evil in one person? Except for her, there is no other fairy or devil!

The next day

"Li'er, Yan'er, each of you should pick a few pieces of this Jiangnan brocade to make some new clothes, so that you won't be looked down upon when you go to the Imperial Academy."

Mo Wen pointed at the dozens of pieces of brocade on the table and said with a smile.

"Thank you, father." The two of them first thanked Mo Wen in unison, then walked to the table.

These cloths are woven very delicately and gorgeously, and the colors are also beautiful and eye-catching, some are bright as peach and plum, some are elegant as orchid, some are clustered with flowers, some are in full bloom, some are full color, some are tie-dyed, some are hazy, some are inlaid with gold, and some are hooked with silver, which makes people dazzled and overwhelmed.

"It's so beautiful. Father, are you letting your daughter choose as she pleases?"

Mo Yaner's eyes flashed with greed. She had heard that the silk fabrics made in Jiangnan were only available to princes and nobles, so she had always admired them. When she saw them, she realized that they were indeed extraordinary. She couldn't let go of them and wanted to move them all into her own yard.

Seeing Mo Yaner's eyes wide open in surprise, Mo Wen smiled gently and dotingly: "Of course, Yaner, take your time to choose."

After hearing Mo Wen's words, Mo Yan'er jumped up happily, but her eyes were always looking at the intricate and beautiful cloths.

Mo Lishang shook his head. After all, Mo Yan'er was still young. He had great ambitions but no idea of ​​his own limits. In the deep palace, people are cruel and ruthless. If you displease a master, you may never see the sun the next day.

She actually picked some brightly colored ones to go to the Imperial Academy in the palace. Isn't this asking for bad luck?

You have to know that there isn't much else in the palace, but there are many women. A servant girl actually dares to usurp the throne. Isn't this courting her own destruction?

While her mind was moving, Mo Lishang's eyes were not idle either. Although she didn't care, she still had to pretend.

With a smile, she reached out for a piece of thin silk with a white background embroidered with silver-printed wisteria. Her fingers lightly stroked the white pear blossoms that seemed to float in the air but appeared from time to time. The touch of her fingertips made her fall in love with the cloth at once.

This piece of cloth is just like her, standing quietly among the flowers, seemingly plain but noble.

"Father, my daughter wants this one."

"oh?",

When Mo Wen saw that Mo Lishang actually liked this piece of light-colored cloth, he raised his eyebrows at first, then felt relieved. Just as he was about to speak, Mo Yaner called out in a joking tone:

"Sister, you are only pretty to begin with, and you are dressed so plainly. Even the maids around me are prettier than you. Isn't this a disgrace to the General's Mansion?"

"That's right, the eldest lady always said that she has a unique vision, but I didn't expect that she can't even dress herself up. She's not as good as Yan'er. Master, look at what Yan'er chose. If she wears it, she won't be the most beautiful woman in Dazhao. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world! To put it bluntly, the eldest lady is really far behind."

When Du Shishi saw this, she immediately smiled and praised her daughter, and did not miss any opportunity to belittle Mo Lishang.

"Second Aunt is right. Generally speaking, illegitimate daughters are prettier than legitimate daughters."

Mo Lishang was not annoyed after hearing this. He just said something lightly that made Du Shishi choke and almost suffocate.

How could Mo Wen not know about the intrigues between the two? He just glanced at Du Shishi indifferently.

Turning back to Mo Lishang, he said, "Li'er has a unique vision. This piece of cloth is not woven in Jiangnan..."

When Mo Yaner heard that the cloth was not made in Jiangnan, a look of disdain appeared in her eyes. But when she heard what Mo Wen said next, she stared at the cloth with jealousy, wishing she could snatch it away.

"This piece of cloth was woven by an old weaver from the Imperial Brocade Department of the Palace after ten years of hard work."

Mo Wen slowly explained the origin of the cloth and looked at his two daughters meaningfully.

"Wouldn't it be a waste if I let my daughter have such a valuable thing? I would never dare to accept it."

When Mo Lishang heard this, his eyes moved and he felt a little terrified.

"It is said that this piece of cloth is elegant and refined, which complements Li'er's temperament. You have a good taste."

Mo Wen twirled his beard and nodded, feeling very proud in his heart. It seemed that Mo Lishang's vision was indeed unique, and he could pick out the best among the numerous brocades at a glance. This time, he intentionally put the brocade bestowed by the emperor many years ago among them, just to test which of his two daughters had more of the demeanor of a queen mother.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Mo Yaner with some disappointment. This daughter, alas, he loved her so much, but she ultimately did not have the vision to be the mother of the country. He only saw the superficial splendor but failed to see the inner refinement.

Which daughter should go with which prince? At this moment, he was a little undecided.
