After Shi Baoyan came back to the East House, Shi Qingxue was always alert and afraid that Shi Baoyan would make trouble for her.
But Shi Baoyan who had meditated in the family temple for one year seemed to be a different person and wasn’t as vicious and sinister as before. It seemed that she had been edified by the burning incense in the temple. She looked gentle and peaceful. Others felt happy to see her and couldn’t help but like her when they got along with her.
“Is the meditation in the family temple so effective? Can it turn a vicious person into a pure one?”
Shi Qingxue couldn’t believe what she had seen, but Shi Baoyan came to Qingxue to show her guilt and ask for mercy as soon as she returned to the East House.
Shi Baoyan said every word sincerely and didn’t shuffle off her responsibility. She admitted her mistakes and expressed that she would mend her manners in the future.
Even though Shi Qingxue had a preju
No matter how thick-skinned Shi Baoyan was, she couldn’t help but blush after being questioned by Zhao Haoran. She stuttered, “I am Qingxue’s sister, and my name is Baoyan. Your Highness, please just call me Baoyan.”“Oh!” Zhao Haoran was not interested and said casually, “I will go shooting with Qingxue, and it has nothing to do with you. Go back home first.”Afterward, he didn’t give Shi Baoyan a chance to speak and told Xia Mang to take her to the carriage back to the Shi Family. Then he got into another carriage with Shi Qingxue, heading for the training ground.As soon as they reached the training ground, Zhao Haoran brought the bow and arrows in high spirits and told somebody to bring two nice horses before saying to Shi Qingxue, “We have competed on shooting last time, and it will be boring to do that again. This time, let’s compete on shooting on horseback.“Still ten arrows. Let’s see who will shoot more rapidly and accura
Zhao Haoran looked at Shi Qingxue, with certainty and obvious admiration in his expression. “I mean it. I have practiced archery since childhood and seldom slack off. Although I don’t dare to say that I can make every shot tell, I am second to none in the Zhao Country.“However, when I saw your posture when you were shooting that day, I knew that somebody in the world is fit for shooting innately. Every movement of you was accurate. No matter how confident I am, I admit defeat in front of you.”“Eh, you are exaggerated.” Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but cover her mouth to chuckle. If Zhao Haoran’s eyes were not upright and sincere, she almost thought that he was flirting with her.So Shi Qingxue didn’t feel offended, but she didn’t take his words seriously either.She changed the subject casually. “We have run for a long time today. Let’s compete next time. And, do you remember the way back?”Shi Qingxue stared into the d
Shi Qingxue was angry at Mo Junyang’s avoidance and refused to give up, snorting at him in a rage.She ignored Mo Junyang’s hand which tried to help her up and said coldly, “Your Excellency, thanks for saving me. I don’t dare to bother you anymore. I will just walk back by myself.”While speaking, she didn’t mind the pain on her right foot and supported her hands on the ground, struggling to stand up. Then she kicked with her leg randomly and staggered down the hill.Mo Junyang looked sullen at once and withdrew his hand awkwardly. Then he stood in front of Qingxue again, saying straightforward, “You don’t know the way back.”He told the truth.Shi Qingxue’s joy disappeared soon and she felt more furious.She didn’t even show her face and blocked Mo Junyang’s hand indifferently. “It’s none of your business. Even if I get lost, it’s no big deal. Duke Shi’s family is not as wealthy and powerful as King Rui’s
When Shi Qingxue straightforwardly spoke out her doubts, Mo Junyang stiffened, like a statue.For a long time, Mo Junyang didn’t move or reply.But Qingxue got the affirmative answer from his ghastly pale face.Right, without that memory, she was not Shi Qingxue anymore.At least, it was true in Mo Junyang’s opinion.Shi Qingxue was still doubtful, but another kind of pain spread over her chest.She didn’t even understand why she was in pain, but the pain was severe.However, Shi Qingxue was strong enough. The more pain she felt, the stronger she pretended to be. Facing Mo Junyang, she was more fearless and asked coldly, “Mo Junyang, I want to know how you feel about it.”She confronted him directly. Even if there were immense dangers and difficulties ahead and she would bleed, she would keep going.This was Shi Qingxue at this age.After going through ev
As soon as Dong Hui heard the beginning, she felt dizzy and almost couldn’t stand steadily.Shi Qingxue wanted to tell the truth, but she didn’t expect that her mother would be so scared. She hurriedly supported Dong Hui and asked, “Mother, what’s wrong with you? Call for a doctor…”At the moment, Shi Baoning walked over in haste and supported Dong Hui to replace Qingxue forcefully. There was anger which was not obvious but clear in her pretty eyes, but she controlled herself and stated coldly, “Let me take care of Mother. Go to call for the doctor first.”Shi Qingxue didn’t need to call for a doctor in person. Shi Baoning just didn’t want her to support Dong Hui.While Shi Qingxue listened to Shi Baoning and went out to bring Doctor Qin.After Doctor Qin checked Dong Hui’s pulse, he explained, “Madam is pregnant and should better relax and keep calm. She can’t get mad or be provoked. Otherwise, it would be harmful to
Zhou Ruyu and Shi Baoyan could say nothing and just looked at Shi Qingxue in despair.They hadn’t expected that with so solid evidence, Shi Qingxue could still turn the table, as if she had been prepared and waited for them to fall into her trap.Shi Baoyan immediately “realized” that everything must be Shi Qingxue’s plan. She intentionally showed her slip and planned to change the situation when they came to tell on her, with a purpose to embarrass them and make Shi Junhe hate Shi Baoyan.Shi Qingxue was so mean.Shi Baoyan imagined and went to extremes while thinking, so she hated Shi Qingxue more.Especially when Shi Junhe asked what else they could say, Shi Baoyan gritted her teeth and glared at Shi Qingxue secretly for several times.Shi Qingxue pretended that she didn’t see that and didn’t give them a chance to speak. She said that Dong Hui was unwell and needed to rest quietly, so she kicked out the
The Moon Lake was at the foot of the Moon Mountain and far away from the noisy capital city. In early autumn, the breeze rippled the shining water on the surface of the lake, and it looked quiet and beautiful, like a princess who had been sleeping for one thousand years.The party was held by the Moon Lake, and there was a corridor set up around the lake, decorated with roses, like a fantastic wonderland.Shi Qingxue told the servants to collect the scattered petals and put them on the ground, which looked like a square flower sea.“It’s so beautiful!” Mo Yuzhen could hardly look away from the beautiful scenery in front of her eyes.She grabbed Qingxue’s hand and shouted joyfully, “Qingxue, how come you got the idea of decorating it like this? It is like the residence of the fairies in the sky. It’s so beautiful that I can’t believe what I have seen.”“It’s nothing. I learnt it from a book and thought it must be great.
Zhao Niaoniao didn’t expect that Shi Qingxue could keep calm under her threat. She was surprised and thought this woman was so fearless.No wonder her brother raved about this woman after seeing her only twice. Shi Qingxue must know that he loved courageous women, so she seduced him intentionally.The princess thought with jealousy and hated Shi Qingxue more, imagining that Shi Qingxue was a bad woman who liked to flirt with men.“I am a princess of the Zhao Country, and you are just a noble lady. Even your father should respect me. Do you think your emperor will refuse if I ask him to let you be my maid?”Shi Qingxue thought Zhao Niaoniao would deal with her viciously, but it was merely…Gee, was she just a simple-minded girl?Even though Shi Qingxue knew that the girl in front of her was her rival in love, she didn’t hate this little princess but just thought the other party was inexperienced.
