Chapter 161 To Find Out Who Wrote the Love Poem and the Secret Relationship Behind It

"Did you write the poem?" Queen picked up the poem and frowned. She didn't like such love poems, which shouldn't be from the hand of an unmarried girl from a rich and famous family.

"To answer Queen's questions, it was written by me." Mo Xuemin concealed her smile and replied obediently with her head lowered. She loved the letter at first sight. She thought it was so beautiful and delightful. But she didn't expect it would win Queen's appreciation and felt quite proud.

"This poem is too gloomy and sentimental for your young age. You're not supposed to be so maudlin as a young miss from a famous family." Queen said and put it on the table. Imperial Concubine Su took it over and then said to Mo Xuemin, who was speechless and aggrieved at Queen's words,

"This poem is so nice that so many sirs like it. Grant her a reward!"

A maid behind Imperial Concubine Su came out holding a jewelry box. It was pretty clear that there was something precious in it from its magnificent look.

But Mo Xuemin didn't dare to accept it when Queen had just criticized her poem. Now that Imperial Concubine Su wanted to award her was actually to go against Queen's idea. Mo Xuemin didn't dare to do such a thing.

So she knelt down trembling with no answer.

"First young miss Mo, please take the award." Seeing that she didn't take the award, the maid got impatient. She was Imperial Concubine Su's confidant, and knew that she was going against Queen's idea in public. Everybody in the palace knew Imperial Concubine Su had a bad relationship with Queen. Queen had a respected status but no son. First Prince was the eldest and the most respected, which gained him much recognition from Emperor Zongwen. She couldn't offend either of them.

"Imperial Concubine doesn't have to be so polite. Before my mom finishes her reward, you can't wait to award her. Please wait for my mom to finish her words. By then, my mom will give your accessory to her as well." Fifth Princess smiled and saved Mo Xuemin from the dilemma. She noticed Queen's cold face and said lightly.

Talking and giving an award in front of Queen was not actually an award, but an excuse to make Queen ashamed. Although Imperial Concubine Su dared to do this, she didn't dare to admit it. If Emperor heard what Fifth Princess said, she would have to suffer.

This Fifth Princess who looked innocent was much more difficult to deal with than Queen.

Though Imperial Concubine Su was impudent, she didn't dare to disgrace Queen in front of these misses and ladies, especially after being exposed by Fifth Princess. She held her handkerchief in front of her lips and smiled, "Fifth Princess is right, and I haven't thought it through. I just wanted to award her for Queen, but I was too impolite. I shall beg Queen to forgive me!"

Imperial Concubine Su acted as she didn't do it on purpose. She titled her head to Queen and looked delicate.

Queen was very angry but didn't know what to do with her. She was in no mood to talk about the poem any more and just thought Mo Xuemin was the same like Imperial Concubine Su, who was coquettish. She even admired her love poem. So she just said coldly, "Of course it doesn't matter to me whether Imperial Concubine Su likes first young miss Mo or not. Now that Imperial Concubine Su likes first young miss Mo, I shall marry her to King Chu. King Chu is so grown up that he needs a main wife. Once first young miss Mo marries him, she could not only take care of King Chu, but also manage the inner yard."

She would marry Mo Xuemin to King Chu Feng Yuxuan just because she wrote a good poem?

All was lost in complete silence!
