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
Mo Junyang who held Shi Qingxue walked to the inner room and then sat on the bedside.He didn’t let her get down but put her on his knees. They still hugged each other closely.After quite a while, Shi Qingxue couldn’t come back to reality as she was still happy for Mo Junyang’s sudden arrival.She was overjoyed.She still hugged Mo Junyang’s neck and her red face still rubbed against his face, as if his cold body could give her warmth and peace.Shi Qingxue had a desire for the first time, and she couldn’t help but get close to Mo Junyang.She wanted to be closer to him.Qingxue’s action like a little animal seeking for warmth was “torture” to Mo Junyang.He could hardly control himself, and his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat. He wanted to swallow the desire and tried to keep his composure.He could always restrain himself.However, Shi Qingxue
Since Mo Junyang had come to Tan Mountain, he didn’t plan to leave.He and Shi Qingxue expressed their love to each other, and they were willing to stay together, wishing to be like conjoined twins. How would he leave?Not to mention leaving Tan Mountain, Mo Junyang didn’t want to leave Shi Qingxue’s bedroom even at night.Although they were an engaged couple, they were unmarried, so they couldn’t live together.Therefore, Mo Junyang restrained himself and chose a room next to Shi Qingxue’s bedroom.His bed was next to the wall, and the other side of the wall was next to Shi Qingxue’s bed.They were separated by only a wall.However, at bedtime, Mo Junyang had to return to his room.He sat at the table and looked at the big bed in a daze, as if he had X-ray eyes and could see what Shi Qingxue was doing through the wall.What was Qingxue doing?Had
Shi Qingxue was shocked by the news Wei Ziye had brought and couldn’t make a judgement.She looked at Mo Junyang with her mind in chaos and wanted to hear what he would say.Mo Junyang instantly gave her a smile to suggest that she should calm down. Then he asked Wei Ziye about the key point. “Do you know who has got this news?”Wei Ziye replied, “Mr. Qu said that this news can’t be hidden. Even if those people didn’t know it when I came, the people who should know it must have known now.”Shi Qingxue frowned and a premonition spread in her brain.Earlier, she still wondered who had nothing to do and killed Shi Juncai. After hearing Wei Ziye’s last words, she understood that this murder case probably targeted her father Duke Shi.Mo Junyang grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hand and ordered Wei Ziye, “I see. You go back first to tell Yuebai to pay attention to the situation in the capital city all the time and
When Shi Junhe arrived at Mo Shujun’s residence, she was lying in the sickbed and the maid Zhu fed her medicine.Mo Shujun’s face was pale and her hair was loose. She looked decadent and depressed, not as dignified and honorable as the Princess Royal in the past.Before coming, Shi Junhe was mentally prepared and had thought that Mo Shujun might be unable to bear such a body blow, yet when he saw that the woman whom he had called mother for many years became so spiritless, he couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes.“Mother.” Shi Junhe called her in a shaky voice with the form of address again that he thought that he would never call.Mo Shujun trembled and finally found Shi Junhe.There was no blood on her pale face, yet her eyes became extremely sharp all of a sudden. She stared at Shi Junhe. “What are you doing here? Did you come to laugh at me?”Shi Junhe didn’t mind Mo Shujun’s vicious remarks
