The news Mo Yuzhen said was not too exciting. Shi Qingxue already knew Mo Xiangbin's intentions, so he just said lightly: "I know, but I won't marry him, don't worry."
"You don't know!" Mo Yuzhen replied angrily.
Under Qingxue's stunned gaze, he held her hand and spoke very quickly: "This time is different from the previous situation. Father is determined to have you marry Mo Junhao, and Concubine Liu Gui wants you to marry Mo Junhao." I personally came forward to hold a banquet in the Fourth Prince's Mansion and invited all the ladies to attend, just to confirm this matter."
"Having a banquet? Why didn't I know?"
Mo Yu really hated it and poked her forehead, scolding: "You have been hiding in the boudoir these days, you know nothing!"
Even the swear words were used, which showed how angry Mo Yu was.
Shi Qingxue shrank her neck and obeyed the instruction obediently without saying a word.
After Mo Yuzhen took the opportunity to vent all his grievances over the past few days, he said coldly: "The invitations haven't been sent to the Shi family yet, probably because they are afraid of disturbing the situation. But the banquet at the Fourth Prince's Mansion is definitely a Hongmen Banquet, you You absolutely can’t participate, you know?”
Qingxue nodded quickly and promised: "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere these days, I will just stay at home and embroider the screen."
She is so good, she won't make him angry again, right
Who would have thought that Mo Yuzhen still said with an unhappy face: "When I got married, you just gave me some treasures to send me away, but when Shi Baoning got married, you actually embroidered a screen for her. It's so partial!!"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Where is this going
"No, you didn't tell me that at the beginning! Besides, you two are in such a hurry to get married, so it's not like you don't know that I embroider slowly." Shi Qingxue quickly defended.
Mo Yuzhen refused to listen: "I didn't say that I have to embroider something from you. It's better for you to write poems and paintings for me than those cold things. It shows that you don't have me in your heart!"
Shi Qingxue: "... You're welcome, you can go."
"...Hmph, just leave!" The dignified princess was kicked out. She also had a temper.
Qingxue looked like she was ready to leave without seeing him off.
Mo Yuzhen took two steps and said loudly: "I'm really leaving!"
Shi Qingxue nodded and said nothing.
Not being persuaded, Mo Yuzhen had no choice but to continue walking out. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but said in a depressed voice, "I won't come back after I leave."
"...I know, take care of yourself." Shi Qingxue responded dryly.
Mo Yu was really unhappy, "Why didn't you keep mine? You would have been reluctant to let me go before!"
Shi Qingxue was speechless. Speaking at this time would only make the two of them feel embarrassed and helpless, but Mo Yuzhen said it, and she couldn't answer.
He sighed helplessly: "As long as you and I are fine, let's go!"
Mo Yuzhen's eyes were filled with heat, and when he saw Shi Qingxue not even looking at her, she felt angry again.
When did they need to make a decision when they were playing together, and the one who retained his sense became Shi Qingxue? Obviously the other person is the most willful one, why can't she be more willful and hold her back
"Okay." Mo Yuzhen took a deep breath, pushed back all those thoughts, turned around and left.
Shi Qingxue stood quietly like this. It wasn't until Xia Mang shouted in a low voice when he entered the house to clean up that she came back to her senses, "What time is it?"
"It's Youshi, do you want to have dinner?"
"No, I'm not hungry yet." Shi Qingxue replied casually, then sat back on the bed and continued her embroidery.
But after a while she stopped again and said irritably: "What do you want to say?"
Xia Mang bit her lip and asked in a low voice, "Has Her Royal Highness made you angry?"
Shi Qingxue was stunned, "Why do you think so?"
"When the princess went out just now, her face was full of frustration. She also told the slave to take good care of you, otherwise she would deal with us." Xia Mang spoke intermittently, with some hesitation, "This is the first time that the slave has seen that kind of expression on the princess's face. Expression, so..."
It took a while for Shi Qingxue to react and understand Mo Yu's true intention - if the daughter of an aristocratic family breaks up with the princess, the daughter of the aristocratic family must be the one who suffers - Mo Yuzhen simply takes the blame on himself and lowers his profile, so that others will not care. Knowing that they had no contact with each other, she would still be wary of Mo Yuzhen's protection of her.
To be honest, she never thought that Mo Yu could really do this for her. She was stunned and a little regretful at the same time. She had lost a close friend after all!
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired and want to go to bed early."
She went to bed without even having dinner. Xia Mang didn't dare to persuade her anymore, so she blew out the candlelight and closed the door to exit.
The night was quiet, and Shi Qingxue was lying on the bed but couldn't really fall asleep. Her mind was a mess until the faint fragrance entered her nose.
"Who?" She shouted and sat up from the bed.
I saw a figure standing in front of the table, looking familiar.
"Mo, Jun Yang?" Qingxue shouted subconsciously.
The figure moved, slowly approaching her, making her whole body tense up, until the other person walked to the bed and the moonlight hit him.
It turned out to be Mo Junyang.
Shi Qing Xuesong pouted unhappily as he spoke, "What did you do without saying anything just now? You scared me to death."
Mo Junyang sat down directly by the bed, and Qingxue realized that he was holding a box in his hand. The scent came from the box, a bit like... "Osmanthus cake?"
Mo Junyang nodded, opened the food box and passed it forward, "Would you like to eat?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Mo Junyang was probably the only one who broke into someone else's boudoir in the middle of the night and took out a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for them to eat!
However, after the other party made such a fuss, she was really a little hungry, her eyes fell on the food box several times, and she hesitated.
"Be careful so you don't get it on the bed or let others find it."
Shi Qingxue's only worry was 'solved' by Mo Junyang. She stopped worrying and actually pinched a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.
It melts in your mouth and is filled with aroma.
"It smells so good, and it's so special!" Shi Qingxue couldn't help but praise it and pinched another small piece.
Just as she was about to stuff it into her mouth, she saw Mo Junyang looking at her lips with burning eyes.
She stopped, handed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand forward, and asked awkwardly: "Do you want to eat it too?"
"Um."
Shi Qingxue originally told the other party that there was still more in the food box, but unexpectedly, Mo Junyang lowered his head and took away the osmanthus cake in her hand. His warm lips brushed between her fingers, causing goosebumps all over her body. .
She quickly retracted her hand, "What are you doing?"
"Eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, you gave it to me."
Shi Qingxue: "...Then what are you doing here?"
Mo Junyang continued to hold up the food box and did not answer. He only said: "This is what my father brought back from the Ruicheng fiefdom. It is a specialty of Ruicheng and cannot be eaten in Kyoto."
When Shi Qingxue heard this, she had no choice but to pick up another piece and eat it slowly. When she was almost done eating, she took the handkerchief Mo Junyang handed over and wiped her hands clean. Then she asked again: "Can you talk now?"
Mo Junyang nodded and said directly: "The banquet at the Fourth Prince's Mansion in a few days is a Hongmen Banquet. You don't want to go."
"Tsk, why are you mentioning this? Yu Zhen also said it today."
Mo Junyang added: "If you really want to go, remember to send me a letter in advance."
Shi Qingxue: "No, I won't join in the fun!"
Besides, she still hated Mo Junhao for trying to knock her out and take her away, and she didn't want to talk to that guy at all in a short time!
"You came here just to tell me this?" Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang suspiciously. There was no need to come in person for such a small matter, it could be solved with a letter.
Mo Junyang looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to find something out of her expression, but he didn't know whether he succeeded or not. He only heard him say lightly: "Didn't you promise to find me a princess? You Look, how many months has it been? My Crown Princess is still nowhere to be seen!"
Shi Qingxue slapped her head and became annoyed.
There were too many things going on these days, and she almost forgot about it. When Mo Junyang asked her seriously, she felt a little guilty, "Ah, yes, so do you have a crush on any girl?"
Mo Junyang pointed out pointedly: "You are perfunctory with me."
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Can you still have fun playing!
"Okay, but I've been busy lately!" Shi Qingxue blinked and started to pretend to be pitiful.
Mo Junyang didn't care at all, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
When it was Qingxue's turn this time, she was puzzled, "Aren't you in a hurry? Then why do you want me to help you find it?"
"You promised me, don't forget it." Mo Junyang smiled gently, as if she was not the one who wanted to marry the crown prince, and she was completely confident.
Shi Qingxue was very sad that she was stupid enough to take over such a big pot.
He said helplessly: "I agreed, but you have to like it! What if you don't like it after I've been looking for it for a long time?"
Mo Junyang shrugged, "I believe in your vision. As long as you recommend it, as long as the other party is willing to marry me, I have no requirements."
"Is it true?" Shi Qingxue was a little doubtful, but immediately said with gleaming eyes: "Then I recommend my second sister. Her character and knowledge are first-class, and she will have no problem matching you. Just..."
She hesitated for a while and asked in a low voice: "You don't dislike her background, do you?"
Shi Baojing was the concubine of the second wife of the Shi family, so even if she was raised in the name of her aunt, it would not look good.
Mo Junyang couldn't help but ruffled her hair and said lightly: "Others don't know my background, and you don't know either. If background could determine everything, there would be no Mo Junyang now."
In his previous life, his identity as a proton was like mud from the ground, but Mo Junyang was able to counterattack and become the final king. Doesn't this prove that identity does not determine everything
Shi Qingxue was very happy after hearing what he said. She didn't care for a moment that the other party treated her as a child. She smiled and said, "This is what you said. Then I will go back and tell the second sister that if she likes you so much, she will definitely be willing to marry her." For you!"
Mo Junyang's expression remained unchanged and he nodded, "Then it's up to you."
It seemed as if as long as Shi Baojing nodded, he would really marry someone home and make him the crown prince's concubine.
Shi Qingxue didn't know what Mo Junyang was thinking. She just thought that the other party really agreed, and wanted to settle the matter with Shi Baojing the next day.
Unexpectedly, Shi Baojing was not in Shifu. She heard that she had gone to Zhuangzi in Gyeonggi Province to recuperate. She was about to follow him and have a look when Liu Yiyi's invitation arrived at her door.
