Transmigrated Canon Fodder, Please Calm Down! Chapter 432

Xuanyuan Mo had someone inform Tang Guo early in the morning that he would come for lunch at noon. This meant that Tang Guo should tell the cook to prepare the meal.

The lotus seed soup from yesterday left him longing for more.

Upon arriving here, the aroma of the dishes wafted through the air, indeed even better than those made by the imperial chefs.

After everyone else left, Tang Guo served Xuanyuan Mo soup with a smile, “Ah Mo, I didn’t know what you liked to eat, so I had the cook prepare a bit of everything.”

Xuan Yuan Mo took a sip of the soup and a few bites of the dishes without even glancing at Tang Guo.

After eating until he was half-full, he wanted to praise Tang Guo. However, when he looked at her, he immediately saw the rings of red marks on her neck, and his heart sank.

He put down his bowl and clenched his fists. When he sent his royal brother to do that task, he should have understood that there would be no more entanglements between him and this woman.

But seeing those red marks made him uncomfortable and felt like an eyesore.

Tang Guo seemed to notice his gaze and couldn’t help but tug at her collar, blushing as she spoke to Xuanyuan Mo, “Ah Mo, why do you always sneak in at night…” Her shy demeanor left Xuanyuan Mo feeling stifled.

It wasn’t him!

It really wasn’t him.

Yet, he was willing to wear this green hat1.

“It’s all because of my poor health that made you so uncomfortable, Ah Mo.”

“Ah Mo, there are many other sisters in the palace.” Tang Guo suddenly teared up, “Although I don’t want you to go, I can’t serve you well. As an emperor, you can’t only have me, so…” Her voice grew quieter as more tears fell.

She was clearly unwilling, but she had to say it. Xuanyuan Mo felt stifled but had no choice but to comfort her.

He patted Tang Guo’s shoulder, “I won’t go to any other palace. I’ll come to the imperial concubine’s place every night.” At this point, from the day he spoke to his royal brother, there was no turning back.

She had already been touched by his royal brother and there was no possibility between them. He could only go all the way. Besides, the one he liked had always been An Ningxiang.

To ensure An Ningxiang’s growth and her secure future as Empress, he could only sacrifice Tang Guo.

Who made her father’s surname Tang? The power of the Tang family has grown to a point that even he fears it.

“Ah Mo, is that true?” The woman, with teary eyes, threw herself into Xuanyuan Mo’s arms, looking at him expectantly, “You won’t go to any other palace in the future?”

“I won’t.”

He originally didn’t plan to go, which is why this happened.

“But the other sisters might be dissatisfied.”

“You are the imperial concubine. You have the final say. What can they do to you?” Xuanyuan Mo, looking at those glaring red marks, hardened his heart. Let her deal with those scheming women so that his Ningxiang could grow to stand beside him.

“Ah Mo, you’re so good. Besides my father, you treat me the best in this world.”

Looking at the woman’s touched expression, Xuanyuan Mo pressed his lips together, his eyes fixed on the marks on her neck. His fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly. Finally, using his busy schedule as an excuse, he pushed her away and left with heavy steps.

“Hehe, just ask Xuanyuan Mo if the green hat looks good.” As soon as Xuanyuan Mo left, Tang Guo wiped her tears and complained to the system, so quickly that even Mei Lan, who was beside her, was shocked.

Recently, she has felt that the imperial concubine has been acting strangely. For example, right now she looks very strange.

She chose to remain silent and observed slowly.

Watching Her Majesty enjoy her tea so joyfully, the strange feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger.

Has the imperial concubine gone mad?

  1. In Chinese culture, wearing a “green hat” (绿帽子, lǜ màozi) is a metaphorical expression meaning that a man has been cheated on by his wife or girlfriend. The term originates from an old Chinese custom where men who were cuckolded were said to be “wearing a green hat.” Thus, the sentence implies that the man knowingly and willingly accepted the situation of being cheated on. ↩︎
