Mo Junyang said he was going to pick up Shi Qingxue, but he didn’t have a chance to stay with her alone.
All the way, the ladies from the Shi Family were with them. As soon as they reached the Moon Mountain, Mo Yuzhen couldn’t wait to come to find her friend.
Shi Qingxue gave Mo Junyang an apologetic glance and then was pulled away by Yuzhen.
“Qingxue is so capable that Third Princess can’t forget her even after marriage.” Shi Baojin said with sarcasm. Her voice was loud enough and everyone present could hear it clearly.
All people scrupled at Shi Baojin’s glory and wouldn’t stand up for two girls who were not here, but Shi Baoyou pulled Baojin’s sleeve and advised in a low voice, “Baojin, don’t say that. Qingxue has been Her Highness’s bestie since long ago. It’s normal for them to be close…”
Shi Baojin didn’t give in. She dragged her sleeve and said coldly, “What shouldn’t I say? Was I wrong?”
“You are r
No matter how calm Mo Junyang was, he was surprised at Shi Baojin’s imagination with no sense of shame. He thought, “How shameless she is! She even thinks I love her after I almost threw her to a beggar.”Mo Junyang was not in the mood to explain to Shi Baojin. He got rid of her grip and said coldly, “Lady Baojin, you are going to marry the second young master of the Zhao Family soon. It’s improper to say something like this to me. Please conduct yourself with dignity.”With that, he didn’t give Shi Baojin a chance to speak and left directly.Shi Baojin didn’t expect Mo Junyang to be so resolute and was petrified for a while. She subconsciously chased him, but he walked fast and disappeared soon.She was angry and anxious, yelling at Mo Junyang’s receding figure, “Don’t try to hide. I know you love me. Even if fate won’t bring us together, I won’t give up because I love you, too!”Shi Baojin expressed her love sincerel
Shi Qingxue glanced at Shi Baoyou and was surprised that she had told the truth.It was her first time to see such an honest person, and she didn’t know what to say.However, Shi Baojin didn’t believe Baoyou’s words, or rather, she couldn’t accept that. She snorted. “Ha, you two are so close, so you would certainly give false testimony for her. I am so poor. Even my sister helps an outsider. It’s so sad.”She even mentioned the blood relationship to judge the closeness. All that Shi Baoyou explained couldn’t be a reason.Baoyou’s face was pale and she lowered her head. She tried to grab Baojin’s sleeve in a hurry. “No, I didn’t help Qingxue. I just…”Shi Baojin shook off her hand and said crossly, “You don’t need to pretend kind. Just go to flatter Shi Qingxue. I am going to see what you will get.”Her voice was loud and went out of the shed. Every onlooker looked as if they were to watch a play of the Shi
One of the two men present had a long face, and the other was expressionless, but there was joy in his eyes apparently.Before coming here, Mo Junhao was sure that Shi Qingxue loved him. She was cold to him just because she was angry with him as he had married Qin Yanyan, and he even thought that she bit him as a joke between lovers.But now Shi Qingxue walked to Mo Junyang without thinking and showed that she was going to seek protection. It was hard for him to ignore her intention. With a cold face, Mo Junhao glanced at Qingxue and said in a deep voice, “Qingxue, come here.”He said that as if it was his ultimatum. It seemed that if Shi Qingxue didn’t listen to him, he wouldn’t want to marry her.Shi Qingxue cast a sidelong glance at Mo Junhao and noticed the threat in his words, but she felt it laughable. Why did he have the confidence to think that she behaved like this because she couldn’t forget him?
Shi Qingxue was puzzled and blinked. She walked to Mo Junyang. “What’s wrong?”Mo Junyang turned away again and avoided looking at Shi Qingxue. “Nothing. I will show you around.”He left after speaking.“Ah, wait. You haven’t answered my question.” Shi Qingxue hurriedly caught up with him and didn’t forget to say, “I have seen the architecture here. How about we have a look at your residence?”In fact, she was willing to come to King Rui's mansion mainly because she was curious about Mo Junyang, including his environment in the previous life and this mansion.Mo Junyang stopped in his tracks as if something tripped him. He managed to stand steadily with effort and said indifferently, “There is nothing worth seeing in my house. I will take you to the back yard, where there is a natural lake. It’s very beautiful.”“Hey, wait!” Shi Qingxue was curious and stopped Mo Junyang. She stood in front of him once mor
Shi Qingxue stayed in King Rui’s mansion for a long time. When she came back home, the other ladies had returned from the spring outing dinner.As soon as she was back, she was asked to go to the East House. Shi Junhe and Dong Hui was talking and laughing happily.“What’s the matter?” Shi Qingxue moved close to Dong Hui curiously.Seeing that Qingxue came, Dong Hui concealed her smile and poked her daughter’s forehead with her index finger, asking angrily, “Baoning said you left the Moon Mountain earlier, but you come back till now. What did you do?”Shi Qingxue felt it was bad. Usually, Dong Hui wouldn’t ask about her whereabouts, but now she asked. Qingxue couldn’t say that she went to King Rui’s mansion. Otherwise, her mother would be more than getting mad.In secret, she looked at Shi Junhe to ask for help pitifully.Shi Junhe coughed. Although he also wanted to know where Qingxue had been, he still he
Shi Qingxue was so anxious. She didn’t care about it and pushed Zhu away, walking inside. “I really have something important to tell my father. Don’t stop us.”But Zhu didn’t obey and forcefully stood in front of her. “My Lady, I am guarding outside as Princess Royal ordered. Please forgive me.”Shi Qingxue could hardly explain to the stubborn maid and she was afraid that she would delay it, so she said arrogantly, “I don’t care who ordered you. Step aside.”Wenren Chi grabbed Shi Qingxue’s arm and comforted her softly, “Don’t be like this. This is Grandma’s residence. You can’t act recklessly. Let’s go out and wait.”Then he showed Zhu an apologetic smile and pulled Qingxue back to wait outside the Shou’an Hall.Zhu played with the pendant on her waist indifferently and didn’t even glance at Wenren Chi.Her disrespect made Shi Qingxue furious, but Wenren Chi restrained her and she couldn’t lose her temper
Ms. Liang made a slip of the tongue and regretted.She had said what she shouldn’t say. Shi Junhe was looking at her and obviously waiting for her to continue.She sighed deeply. “It is Third Princess’s decision.”Shi Junhe was astonished. “Why?”It was the marriage of the Zhao Family and the Shi Family, and Third Princess Mo Yuzhen never cared about the affairs of the imperial court. Why did she get involved in it all of a sudden?Ms. Liang was helpless. “Now there is no outsider. I don’t mind telling you, Duke Shi. It’s not a secret that my husband works for Third Prince, and he has to listen to his order. Even if there is grievance, we have to bear with it.”Shi Junhe nodded to show that he understood it. “But His Highness is always reasonable. What’s more, if the Zhao Family’s fame is ruined, it won’t do good to you and him, right?Who would be so idle as to do something that would hurt ot
Shi Junhe got stiffened and didn’t dare to move.But Mo Xiangbin looked at him with expectancy, so Shi Junhe had to answer, “Yes, my little daughter is named Qingxue. She will have her sixteenth birthday in June.”“She is a clever girl. I have seen her several times. She is obedient and witty and knows how to make my mother happy!” Mo Xiangbin said casually, but told the truth.It was not easy for the busy emperor to remember a young girl with no official rank. It was true that Shi Qingxue was extraordinarily capable.But Shi Junhe didn’t feel happy to hear that. Instead, he was more terrified.Then Mo Xiangbin spoke in a careless way again, as if he didn’t fear that he would scare somebody to death. “I hear that your daughter is a friend of my fourth son Junhao. He is always picky, but he praised that girl in front of me for several times!”Shi Junhe responded in panic, “His Highness is so kind.”
