Mo Xiangbin’s deep eyes fell on Shi Qingxue again, and he looked her up and down.
This time, he finally attached more importance to this young lady who was less than eighteen years old in front of him.
Earlier, even though he knew that Shi Qingxue was the woman Mo Junyang wanted to marry and he had agreed, he controlled himself all the time and didn’t speak it out because he didn’t think highly of her. He just thought that this girl was willful, naughty and lovely, but she was not enough to be the wife of King Rui’s heir.
In the past two years, Shi Qingxue was more reserved even though she had been showy before.
However, in this case, he thought that Shi Qingxue had become a canary kept in a cage because Mo Junyang protected her and that she looked beautiful but was good for nothing.
Till now, Mo Xiangbin surprisingly found that Shi Qingxue was never a canary. She was dazzling in the past because she was really
Shi Qingxue was dumbfounded by Mo Junhao and almost worshiped him.This man could be so shameless at any time, and it was his ability, right?She sneered and uplifted her brows with a snort. “This path leads to the harem, so how is it improper that I walk past here? But Your Highness, since you want to gossip, you should find a quiet place where there is nobody else.“Otherwise, if the people that you talk about hear you and meet you by chance, it will be embarrassing. Do you think so?”Mo Junhao was stunned and soon understood what Shi Qingxue meant.Feng Mei had cursed Shi Qingxue just now with some dirty words, and even he felt unhappy to hear that. Since the victim heard that, even if Shi Qingxue didn’t care, she was certainly unhappy.Moreover, judging from Shi Qingxue’s expression, it didn’t look like she didn’t care.Mo Junhao coaxed her humbly at once like he did to Feng Mei and
Mo Xiangbin’s eyes fell on Mo Junyu for only a short while and made his heart beat fast, with cold sweat on his head. Then he looked away as if nothing had happened.He turned to Ling Ruiyin and asked in a hoarse voice, “What happened?”Ling Ruiyin wiped her tears and replied in a sobbing voice, “Your Majesty, Doctor Shen said that you were poisoned because you ate the damned elixir. I have told you before that the stuff came from nowhere and you couldn’t eat it. If you had listened to me, something like this wouldn’t have happened today.”Ling Ruiyin complained and felt sad for her son.What she said was sincere and made him feel sorrowful.Even though Mo Xiangbin wasn’t used to being rebuked to his face since long ago, in front of Ling Ruiyin, he wasn’t displeased but moved.Although he was blinded by the elixir-refiner because of oversight, he was not stupid.Now he was feeble, and i
Mo Junyang’s eyes stiffened, and everything around became solemn seemingly, like his face.It was Mo Xiangbin’s first time to talk about the successor with him in all sincerity and frankness instead of beating around the bush.“Junyang, why don’t you speak?”Perhaps because Mo Junyang stayed silent for too long, Mo Xiangbin couldn’t help but ask.Mo Junyang replied flatly, “Your Majesty, what do you want me to say?”Mo Xiangbin was speechless.Probably nobody was more skilled in rendering others speechless than Mo Junyang.Mo Xiangbin glared at Mo Junyang in frustration and asked crossly, “Haven’t you heard what I said?”Mo Junyang answered, “Yes, I have.”Mo Xiangbin was about to say more, while Mo Junyang continued in an indifferent tone, as if it was none of his business, “But you are on the throne, and you can give it to anybody as you like. Why do you need
On the tenth day of the first lunar month in the forty-third year after the Mo Dynasty was established, it was the wedding day of the second prince Mo Junwen and the daughter of the Shi family Shi Baojing.Because Emperor Wen was critically ill and Shi Junfeng had passed away, the wedding conformed to the principle of simplicity.Moreover, in order to make Shi Baojing get married with dignity, Shi Junhe chose some valuable gifts from the treasury of his mansion as her doweries and told the groom to pick her up in Duke Shi’s mansion.Shi Junhe’s actions showed that even though Shi Baojing married into the royal family, Duke Shi’s mansion was her parents’ home and could support her.After Shi Baojing knew it, she was moved.In the morning on the wedding day, she specially came to Shi Junhe’s room in the East House to kowtow to him before everything started.Shi Junhe hurriedly stretched out his hand t
Mammy Zheng wanted to say yet hesitated, which aroused Dong Hui’s desire to know it.“What’s your solution? Tell me now!”“In fact, Madam, if you don’t want Lady Qingxue to see Master Chi, it’s easy, as long as you don’t give them a chance to meet,” Mammy Zheng responded unhurriedly.Dong Hui was confused. “But you have said just now that they will be in this mansion and meet each other frequently. How can I stop them?”“Just tell one of them to stay outside the mansion,” Mammy Zheng responded vaguely.Dong Hui frowned and stated with displeasure, “I want Baoning to come and take care of me, yet I will tell the new couple to live apart? How can I do it? If the news spreads, perhaps many people will comment on me. No, no. It’s absolutely not practical.”She shook her head desperately.Mammy Zheng retorted, “I didn’t say that you should tell Master Chi not to live in the mansion.”
After hearing Shi Junhe’s words, Dong Hui realized it but still thought that there was something wrong. “It was in the past, and nobody is sure about it now. Moreover, judging from the way they stay together, even if the people concerned don’t notice it, others can find something amiss, as it is improper.”Shi Junhe stayed silent for a moment, admitting that it was the truth.Sometimes, even if the people involved didn’t have the feelings, it was helpless that gossip was fearful.Shi Junhe knew this point, yet when it happened to Shi Qingxue and his beloved daughter should take the consequence, he could hardly accept it.“Alas. Even so, you can’t drive Qingxue to the family temple. Even if she goes to a villa in the capital city, the environment will be much better than that in the family temple.” At the thought of the poor environment of the family temple and Qingxue who had been spoilt since childhood, Shi Junhe couldn’t b
Qi Ruyue and her son thought that nobody knew their secret conversation.However, soon after they left, the messenger went to the Love Xue House.When Mo Junyang got the information, he had just got changed. He listened expressionlessly and didn’t say anything before waving the messenger away.Qu Yuebai laughed with interest after hearing that. “I have said that they are ambitious. It’s exposed after only a few days, right?”Mo Junyang conveniently picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea. The hair on his forehead was still wet, and it was soft, clinging to his forehead.The water vapor made him look soft.However, Qu Yuebai knew that this man was more ruthless than he could imagine.He didn’t know why Mo Junyang remained unmoved after hearing Qi Ruyue and her son’s scheme against him.“Junyang?” Qu Yuebai called in a low voice.He stopped joking and remi
As soon as Mo Xiangbin’s imperial edict to grant the marriage was announced, all people had different reactions.When the person concerned Shi Qingxue received the imperial edict, she stared at it all the time.She was...in a daze unexpectedly?Quan waited for quite a while and didn’t hear Shi Qingxue’s voice, so he couldn’t help but remind her softly, “My Lady, it’s time to express your thanks to His Majesty!”Shi Qingxue kept silent.“Ahem!” Quan coughed hard and tried to attract Shi Qingxue’s attention.Shi Qingxue suddenly awakened and looked at Quan, saying in a hurry, “Thanks to His Majesty. I am greatly appreciated.”She told Xia Mang to give Quan a bag of gold.Quan beamed with happy smiles in an instant and wasn’t stingy to say lucky words.Then Xia Mang and Dong Shuang led him to give the rewards from Mo Xiangbin.Shi Qingxue sat in the r
