Shi Qingxue pouted, as she didn’t think that she was teasing Shi Baoning.
She felt happy for Shi Baoning.
However, since Dong Hui looked serious, Shi Qingxue had to conceal her smile and turn to her obediently, asking, “Mother, what do you want to tell me?”
Dong Hui grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hand and replied in a low and deep voice, “Baoning has been pregnant for more than two months as the doctor diagnosed, but Doctor Qin has said that she is weak and that the fetus is unstable. There will be something wrong probably if we don’t look after her carefully.”
Shi Qingxue got nervous after hearing Dong Hui’s words. “Let Baoning stay in the mansion and nourish the fetus. Don’t tire her.”
Seeing that Shi Qingxue didn’t understand, Dong Hui raised her voice. “Doctor Qin’s medical skills are just so-so. We found it this morning because Baoning bled. He just said that she should rest quietly to nourish the fetus, and there i
Shen Luo lowered his head and pondered, keeping silent for quite a while.It was not that he would refuse Dong Hui, but he was weighing quietly.In the end, he stated, “Logically, I don’t dare to refuse your request, Madam Shi, but...”He was going to make a request.Dong Hui was afraid that Shen Luo would ask for nothing, so she smiled happily after he said that. “Doctor Shen, please go ahead.”“Lady Qingxue and the first young master should stay in the mansion these days.” Shen Luo spoke out his requirement straightforwardly.“What?”At the moment, not to mention that Dong Hui shouted in surprise, even Shi Qingxue looked at him in shock.Shi Qingxue looked confused and thought, “What does it have to do with me?”Shen Luo turned to Shi Junhe. “His Excellency has given orders. Duke Shi, can I have a word with you?”Shi Junhe didn’t understand what
Shi Junhe put on a long face and planned to rebuke Shi Qingxue if she didn’t listen to his advice.In the end, Shi Qingxue was obedient beyond expectation this time, but her attitude...It was beyond expression.Anyway the father was unhappy and glared at Shi Qingxue’s receding figure.Dong Hui stopped Shi Junhe and advised, “You know well about your daughter. It’s great that she listened to you. Don’t bother about her too much.”“Judging from her attitude, it seems that she didn’t listen to me sincerely,” Shi Junhe said doubtfully.Shi Qingxue had done many things to agree to his face but oppose secretly.Dong Hui chuckled. “Fine. I have something to tell her. She will understand you.”She patted Shi Junhe’s hand and then went to the Luotong Boudoir.When Dong Hui arrived, Shi Qingxue was writing something at the desk. As soon as she saw her mother come, she h
Dong Hui’s expression with expectancy halted and then stiffened gradually. In the end, she avoided Shi Qingxue’s expectant eyes guiltily.“I...” Dong Hui opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she shut it at last.Shi Qingxue smiled knowingly, while her eyes got cold.She stayed silent for a while and then suddenly asked, “Mother, do you know that Qingmin has something wrong with his left leg besides the birthmark on his face after he was born?”“What?” Dong Hui sprang from her chair and asked in a trembling voice.Shi Qingxue had kept it a secret all the time, and besides the maids and servants taking care of Shi Qingmin, only Mo Junyang and Shen Luo knew this matter.She had planned to hide it forever, but now she thought that Dong Hui was Shi Qingmin’s biological mother anyway and had the right to know the truth, even though this truth was not likeable.Dong Hui’s expressi
Seeing that Mo Junyu made a fuss, Mo Junyang just shrugged and said casually, “He ran away from my sphere of influence, so I should bring him back.”The Imperial Kinship Bureau was always under Mo Junyang’s control, and even if Mo Junyu wanted to meddle, he had to do it in Mo Junyang’s name.In Mo Country, the Imperial Kinship Bureau managed the domestic affairs of the royal family, and if there was no power independent of the royal family, they couldn’t discipline the royal family members, so Mo Junyu thought in secret that the Imperial Kinship Bureau was a dangerous force, while he had to keep it according to the ancestors’ tradition.Or he had to accept the Imperial Kinship Bureau.Fortunately, Mo Junyu trusted Mo Junyang and didn’t worry that the Imperial Kinship Bureau would cause trouble.Hearing Mo Junyang’s almost perfect reason, Mo Junyu frowned slightly and didn’t believe him.However, he
Xi was appointed to serve the emperor after Mo Junyu took the throne, and his job was mainly to send messages.The other eunuchs admired Xi as he got such a good job, but only he knew the sorrow.He was so scared that he almost wet himself.At the same time, he was frightened and didn’t dare to stutter.He answered fluently, “Your Majesty, Lady Qingxue asked to see you.”Speak of the devil.Mo Junyu glanced at Mo Junyang meaningfully, in a better mood. “Let her in.”Shi Qingxue walked in with Xi. There was surprise flashing in her eyes obviously when she saw Mo Junyang, but soon she restrained it.She walked forward and greeted Mo Junyu with a bow, “Your Majesty, I am honored to see you.”“Qingxue, don’t stand on ceremony.” Mo Junyu gently told her to get up.His smile was so bright that it made Shi Qingxue have a chill on her spine. She looked at
Shi Qingxue returned to Duke Shi’s mansion after getting out of the imperial palace.All people in the mansion were busy making preparations for Shi Junhe’s upcoming trip to the battlefield in the north.It was not Dong Hui’s first time to watch her husband go to the battlefield. She knew that she didn’t have the right to say no, so she had to carefully prepare everything and make him have nothing to worry about.However, sadness could hardly be concealed on her face. As soon as she saw Shi Qingxue, tears were going to fall from her eyes, but she restrained herself toughly. She just smiled at Qingxue faintly. “You have come back in time. Your father wanted you to go to his study after you came back. He has something to tell you.”Shi Qingxue thought that she hadn’t told Shi Junhe that she would go to Jiangzhou, so she nodded in a hurry and then went there.Shi Junhe was reading in the study. Qingxue had come to
Mo Junyang had managed his force for many years, and it couldn’t be underestimated.He didn’t want to fight for the throne. Otherwise, it was uncertain who would rule the country in the end.If he wanted to investigate what happened in Jiangzhou, which was kept secret by Mo Junyu all the time, it was merely a matter of time.He got some information after ten days.It turned out that the epidemic in Jiangzhou was more than the epidemic.After a storm in the lunar sixth month, there was a flood in Jiangzhou, and almost more than half of the city was drowned, yet the government embezzled all the disaster relief grain sent by the imperial court because the new emperor didn’t have time to consider the remote areas when he took the throne. They didn’t help the sufferers settle down but drove the victims away from their jurisdiction.Even the messenger who reported it didn’t know where the spreading epidem
Shi Qingxue would go to Jiangzhou with Mo Junyang, yet she couldn’t go away whenever she liked.There was a big “problem” in the mansion. Before she solved it, she really couldn’t go out.The problem was nothing but Shi Qingmin.Her beloved brother.Although Shi Qingmin didn’t need her to feed him, he was still dependent on her. Especially when he was sick or injured, he wouldn’t be calm if she didn’t take care of him.After Shi Qingxue left this time, probably she wouldn’t come back until one or two months later.She didn’t know if Shi Qingmin could accept it.“My Lady, just go there. I and the servants will take care of the first young master, and he will be fine.” Dong Shuang patted her chest with confidence.Shi Qingxue smiled bitterly and thought, “As you said that, I won’t relax.”“Forget it.” Shi Qingxue sighed slightly, pretending that she didn’t see Do
