After seeing Mo Junyang, Shi Junhe didn’t beat around the bush and asked, “What’s the matter with the two imperial edicts? Why did His Majesty agree so soon?”
Mo Junyang told Shi Junhe to sit down and then personally poured him a cup of tea. Then he responded unhurriedly, “Soon? Isn’t it the same as what we expected?
“Lady Baojing and the second prince love each other, and we just told His Majesty about it. Then Qingxue asked the Empress Dowager for mercy, so the marriage was decided. And His Majesty would naturally issue the imperial edict these days.”
“Fine. Even if the marriage of Baojing and His Highness can be decided easily, what about my official position?
“His Majesty suspected me a lot earlier. Can he stop suspecting just because of the marriage? And he even gave me the title of General of the State. Doesn’t he fear that I will threaten the throne this time?” Nobody knew if it was because he spoke to Mo Junyang, and Shi Ju
Leng Yan sat on her knees in front of Mo Shujun all the time but didn’t feel tired. She even looked up and explained carefully, “Princess Royal, look. Now Lady Baojing would marry the second prince. Although his mother has passed away, he was still raised by Concubine Tao.”“Even so, what does it have to do with us?” Mo Shujun looked down upon Shi Baojing who was a concubine’s daughter and didn’t think highly of a prince who was unknown to public in the imperial palace.She would just let them get married, which was not worthy of expecting.But Leng Yan didn’t think so. She reminded cautiously, “Princess Royal, why don’t you think that the second prince is a force?”“Oh?” Mo Shujun finally got interested and stared at Leng Yan, silently ordering her to continue.“A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If we help the fourth prince win over the second prince, then wouldn’t the fourth prince have a greater chance to win the
Shi Qingxue had been exposed by Shi Junhe for twice, and she was too powerless to ask him how he found it.She had to crane her neck and tried to struggle, insisting. “I told the truth. Mother really misses you. If you don’t believe me, you can go back to ask her.”Shi Junhe didn’t care when Shi Qingxue prodded him into action. “How can I be unclear about your mother’s character? Even if she really misses me, she wouldn’t tell you her feelings. Don’t fool me.”He sat in the chair and remained unmoved.“Father!” Shi Qingxue smiled flatteringly again and blinked innocently.Generally, once she acted like this, showing her master stroke to him, even if Shi Junhe was reluctant to admit defeats, he would make her wish come true.However, this time, Shi Junhe looked impassive and even waved at her impatiently, as if driving away flies. “Fine. There’s nothing that you can do here. Just go out to have fun by yours
Dong Hui was startled and speechless, looking at Shi Junhe in a daze.Shi Junhe didn’t play dumb and asked with a bitter smile, “Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you and Yan Lü, and you are innocent?”“It’s true. That night I just…” Dong Hui thought that Shi Junhe was mad because he misunderstood what happened that night, so she was anxious to give him an explanation.However, Shi Junhe just shook his head and asked impassively, “Have I told you that I don’t want you to meet Yan Lü?”Dong Hui stiffened and had to nod, yet soon she explained, “But it happened for a reason that night. Listen to my explanation.”“Fine, stop. I don’t want to know what was going on that night.” Shi Junhe waved his hand wearily and didn’t want to listen to Dong Hui.Because it was pointless.No matter if something happened between Dong Hui and Yan Lü, it didn’t matter anymore.The people
Dong Hui sat on the bed in a daze and looked expressionless. Her face was stiff like a statue.It scared Mammy Zheng and Shi Baoning a lot. They pinched her palm and beat her chest.After quite a while, they finally made Dong Hui come to her senses.“Ah!” Dong Hui cried out loudly at once and held Mammy Zheng tightly. She didn’t know what she should do.Mammy Zheng also cried and hugged Dong Hui, advising, “Madam, just listen to me. Don’t be stubborn. Go to ask His Lordship to forgive you. You are a couple for so many years, and he won’t tell you to go back to your parents’ home.”Dong Hui cried and her eyes were red, but hearing Mammy Zheng’s advice, she stiffened and didn’t say anything.Mammy Zheng noticed her hesitation at a glance and felt anxious and angry, yet she could do nothing as Dong Hui was stubborn.Then she warned in a cold voice, “Madam, if you are still stubborn, you have to r
Shi Qingxue didn’t notice the reproach in Shi Junhe’s eyes at all seemingly and shouted more exaggeratedly, “Why aren’t I injured? Haven’t you seen that a large part of it is red?”Shi Junhe looked at her coldly and ignored her when she acted like a spoilt child.Seeing that her father was so “hard-hearted”, Qingxue rolled her eyes and cried out instantly, “Purr, Father, you don’t love me at all! In the past, once I said that I was hurt, you would ask me and be afraid that there was something wrong with me. Now my hand is red after I fell on the ground, but you don’t care. As expected, I have become a wild child nobody loves.“Little Qingxue lost her mother when she was just three years old…”While speaking, she even sang a song in a sobbing voice.It made people feel sad.Even though Shi Junhe knew that Shi Qingxue just pretended, he was moved by her words, but the lyrics were really…Duke Sh
“Mo, Mo Junyang!” Shi Qingxue cried out in a daze.She hadn’t expected that this man would show up here and happen to help her out of the embarrassment.Mo Junyang just smiled at her gently. “It’s me. Were you injured?”Shi Qingxue shook her head blankly.“I will carry you to get changed, okay?”She nodded in a trance.For a moment, only Mo Junyang was left in her eyes, and she forgot anything else.Mo Junyang naturally wouldn’t mention it. He just glanced at Wenren Chi casually and ignored him when he tried to speak but stopped himself. He directly carried Shi Qingxue away.It was none of his business how the two would end this.He carried Qingxue to his carriage, and her daily clothes had been prepared inside earlier.Seeing that Qingxue still looked confused, Mo Junyang was angry with her as she was not alert, and meanwhile he was happy because of her
At night, in the Shou’an Hall.Leng Yan was doing embroidery slowly in her bedroom under the dim oil lamp on the table.Suddenly the oil lamp was blown out by the wind.Leng Yan was frightened and hurriedly took out a firelighter from her pocket, planning to light the oil lamp again.At the moment, the sound of opening the door came into the quiet room, and then some low footsteps were heard.“Who is it?” Leng Yan turned around and looked at the door, asking in a low voice.There was no answer, and the sounds stopped.In the darkness, Leng Yan couldn’t see anything. With sweat on her back and palms in fear, she still forced herself to calm down. Then she asked, “Rou’er, are you back? Say something!”“Rou’er” didn’t answer, but the footsteps in the room appeared again and approached her gradually. Then they got close to her.Leng Yan couldn’t insist anymore and turned
Shi Juncai told Mo Shujun directly, “She is carrying my baby now.”“What?”Mo Shujun was petrified this time, and even Leng Yan looked shocked and glared at Shi Juncai in disbelief.Mo Shujun came to her senses soon. Seeing that, she thought that Shi Juncai talked nonsense, so she raised her hand, trying to beat him again.Shi Juncai wasn’t afraid but craned his neck. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask her if her menstruation stops for two months. I have calculated the dates last time…”Mo Shujun was stunned.She didn’t know if she should be surprised as a man knew a woman’s privacy, the menstruation or sigh because Shi Juncai could take the opportunity.After quite a while, Mo Shujun came back to reality gradually and turned to Leng Yan. The maid also looked scared yet didn’t deny Shi Juncai’s words.It meant…Seeing that his master card worked, Shi Juncai got com
