Chapter 408: Does Aunt Tao really understand what Mo Li means?
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "My Queen Mother, Xiumei often comes to the palace to serve you. You have seen with your own eyes what a good girl Xiumei is."
The Queen Mother said, "I know Xiumei better than anyone else. I'm not saying she's good or bad. I'm talking to the Emperor about the system of our ancestors."
Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Can't the system of our ancestors be changed?"
The Queen Mother turned around, looked at him, and shouted angrily, "How dare you! How can you change the system of our ancestors?"
Emperor Gai Zhang said: "I am the emperor of the Great Xuan Kingdom. Manchus and Han people are all my subjects. I regard them as one. Why can I only marry Manchus but not Han women?"
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to go your own way? Well, fine, then you can marry Xiumei."
Emperor Gai Zhang smiled, thinking she agreed, but she hadn't finished her words yet.
The Queen Mother continued, "Emperor, you don't have to do it anymore."
Only then did Emperor Gai Zhang understand what she meant.
The Queen Mother said, "If you seek kindness, you will get kindness; if you seek love, you will get love. If Your Majesty really wants to be a passionate man, I dare not stop him. But the bloodline of the Daxuan royal family cannot be tarnished. The Daxuan royal family..." As she spoke, she kept walking forward, while Emperor Gai Zhang kept backing away.
The Queen Mother finally stopped.
Emperor Gai Zhang grabbed his mother's arm and said, "Mother, please don't be angry at me for being unfilial."
The Queen Mother said, "My child, do you know how you became the emperor?"
The Emperor released his hand and said without a second thought, "It was passed down to me by the late Emperor Yongzheng."
The Queen Mother said, "You are wrong. When you were six or seven years old, Emperor Kangxi loved you very much. The reason why he chose Emperor Yongzheng to succeed him was so that he could pass the throne to you one day."
Emperor Gai Zhang looked at the chair behind him.
The Empress Dowager continued, "But today, the emperor chosen by Emperor Kangxi himself is trying to overturn his will. If Emperor Kangxi knew about this, he would definitely denounce this unfilial son."
Emperor Gai Zhang knelt down toward the chair and said, "Grandpa, your grandson is unfilial."
The Queen Mother said, "Your Majesty, please kneel here all night. I will come to see you at dawn. If Your Majesty still insists on marrying Xiumei as your concubine at that time, I will not stop you."

Meanwhile, at the Mo Mansion, Mo Li was writing at his desk. He held his pipe in his left hand and took a long drag.
Just then, Tao Sangu pushed the door open and walked in.
Aunt Tao San came over with a tray, moved the things on the table, and placed the snacks on the tray on the table.
Mo Li smiled and said, "Oh, Third Aunt, thank you for your help, thank you for your help."
Aunt Tao also smiled and said, "Look how polite you are. We are not strangers, we are already an old couple."
When Mo Li heard this, he was immediately choked by the smoke.
Constant coughing.
Aunt Tao patted his back and said, "You're choking, right? Smoke less. It would be so pitiful if you died and left me alone."
Mo Li coughed and said, "Third Aunt, I was just about to discuss something with you."
Aunt Tao said, "Would you like to discuss something with me?"
Mo Li said yes.
Aunt Tao said, "You are the head of the family. If you say east, I dare not go west. If you say thunder, I must make it rain."
Mo Li stammered, "Then I'll... I'll just say it straight. Remember when you first moved in with me, I told you that the house you were living in belonged to Xiumei. Xiumei is back now."
Aunt Tao said calmly, "I know when Xiumei comes back."
Mo Li said, "Then, then you understand what I mean, right?"
Aunt Tao said, "I understand. My Aunt is such a person. A paper lantern will light up as soon as it is picked up."
Mo Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "Oh...that's good, that's good."
