After Shi Baoyan returned to Dongyuan, Shi Qingxue had been tense, fearing that Shi Baoyan would cause trouble to her again.
Who would have thought that Shi Baoyan, who had been cultivating in the family temple for a year, seemed to have been reborn, no longer as fierce and gloomy as before, as if she had been influenced by the incense in the family temple, and her whole person carried the banner of compassion and peace. Not only did she look at Let She makes people feel comfortable, and when they get along with her, they can't help but fall in love with her.
"Is the so-called cleansing of the family temple really that powerful? Can it turn a snake and scorpion into a pure white lotus?"
Shi Qingxue couldn't believe what she saw, but Shi Baoyan was the first to come to her to confess and plead for mercy after returning to Dongyuan.
The words were sincere, and he did not shirk his mistakes at all. He readily admitted the mistakes he had made in the past and stated that he would correct them in the future.
Even if Shi Qingxue was prejudiced against Shi Baoyan at first and felt that her heart was as hard as iron, she couldn't help but be moved by the other party's sincere words.
At that time, Baoyan raised her teary eyes and asked her if she could give her another chance for the sake of her sisters. Qingxue unconsciously nodded and said yes.
"Great! Fifth sister is finally willing to forgive me! I'm so happy!" Shi Baoyan almost jumped up with excitement.
Tears filled his eyes again, and he excitedly held Qingxue's hand and told his feelings, "You don't know, ever since I realized my mistake, I have been thinking about apologizing to you all the time, and I was worried that you wouldn't Forgive me, but I'm afraid I didn't realize my mistake deeply.
I can hear you say give me another chance today. I feel like the big stone that has been weighing on me for a long time has finally been lifted. Thank you so much! "
Shi Baoyan's words and deeds all expressed her apology and sincerity, which made Shi Qingxue, who originally regretted being persuaded, no longer regret it.
Maybe... Shi Baoyan has really changed!
The expression on Shi Qingxue's face relaxed a little, and she showed a smile. She shook Shi Baoyan's hand and said gently: "Fifth sister, don't be afraid. As long as you repent sincerely, of course we are still sisters!"
Maybe everyone has grown up, and the disputes in her childhood have gradually become less important, so she can easily forgive Shi Baoyan for harming her and even wanting her to die, and accept Shi Baoyan as her sister again.
With Shi Qingxue thinking, she didn't notice that after Shi Baoyan received her forgiveness, she showed a slightly cold smile at an angle that no one noticed.
So in the next few days, Shi Baoyan kept pestering Shi Qingxue on the grounds that the sisters needed to spend more time together as soon as they reconciled.
Probably because her attitude was very friendly and her conversation was not boring, Shi Qingxue did not show any disgust, and the two of them got along quite happily.
It's just that after a while, Shi Qingxue couldn't sit still, and she always felt that something was wrong.
When I think about it carefully, I still feel that that person is missing from my side.
Shi Qingxue clasped her fingers and muttered angrily: "We've only been separated for three days, but why do I feel so uncomfortable all over my body? I never felt that way before."
And what pissed her off the most was that even if she couldn't go back to being inseparable like the previous two months, Mo Junyang would come to visit her every once in a while, and why she hadn't been seen these days even though he had met her once.
"It must be that he misses me and is too embarrassed to see me!" Shi Qingxue muttered secretly.
In line with the principle of 'careful consideration and bold conclusion', she gave herself a big affirmation, and then said very grandly: "If the mountain doesn't come, I will be the mountain. Seeing that he has taken care of this lady for so long, For my sake, I’ll allow him to be shy about this!”
After giving herself a random excuse, Shi Qingxue was about to go out.
When Baoyan heard that she was going to Prince Rui's Mansion, she came up to her again and said expectantly: "I have never seen the Prince's Mansion in my whole life! It must be spectacular there. If it's convenient for Sixth Sister, can you take me with you?" .”
Seeing Qingxue's faint tendency to frown, she hurriedly said: "I promise not to disturb your date with Prince Mo, just take me with you! Okay?"
Xia Mang couldn't help but frown when he heard Shi Baoyan's words seeming to imply a secret meeting between Shi Qingxue and Mo Shizi - even if this was true to some extent - but when he turned around to see Shi Qingxue, he didn't seem to care. It was not easy to point it out in front of Shi Baoyan, so she just made a note secretly.
At the same time, he reminded Qingxue softly: "The access control of Prince Rui's Mansion has always been very strict. Last time, even Princess Zhao was stopped when she wanted to enter."
She tactfully expressed that Shi Baoyan had not been invited and it was best not to get involved and make everyone feel embarrassed. Unexpectedly, even though Shi Baoyan looked much better than before, she still did not get rid of her shameless problem and said with a smile: "What is the relationship between Sixth Sister and Mo Shizi? No matter how strict the access control of Prince Rui's Mansion is to others, Sixth Sister can still enter if she wants."
When Shi Baoyan said this, she really wanted to express how different Mo Junyang was to Shi Qingxue - after all, any ordinary woman wouldn't want to get more privileges in front of the man she loves - but she didn't want to flatter him. superior.
Shi Qingxue didn't mind at first, but after hearing her words, her delicate willow eyebrows were raised high and she said coldly: "Prince Mo and I are just friends, and no matter what, the rules of Prince Rui's Mansion cannot be changed just because of me. You If you want to go to Prince Rui's Mansion, I can take you there, but when you arrive, you still have to abide by the rules of Prince Rui's Mansion and hand in a greeting card first.
As for what I just said, Fifth Sister should not say it again in the future, and I just pretended not to hear it. "
Shi Baoyan responded "Yes" tremblingly, but she was very disdainful in her heart: Who in Kyoto doesn't know that your relationship with Mo Junyang is unclear, and you are pretending to be something else, isn't it because you want to use Prince Rui's Mansion to deal with you? Do the two have different attitudes to enhance their status
Shi Qingxue didn't know what Shi Baoyan was thinking at this moment. She was so excited that she was about to fly when she thought that she would see Mo Junyang soon.
But before she left the Duke Shi's mansion, an invitation from the Zhao Embassy was delivered to her door.
The letter was written by Zhao Haoran, and it invited Shi Liuniang to have another archery competition at the martial arts training ground outside Kyoto.
When Shi Qingxue heard about the archery competition, she was indeed a little moved, but she wanted to go to Mo Junyang even more, and directly said to the boy who delivered the message: "Please send a brief message to Prince Zhao for me, just say Qingxue If you need to go out for something, let’s make another appointment for the competition!”
The boy probably didn't expect that someone would refuse the invitation of the prince of a country. His determined expression suddenly turned into a face full of sorrow. He wanted to say a few words for Zhao Haoran, but Shi Qingxue had already got on the carriage, heading towards Prince Rui's Mansion. .
At the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, Shi Qingxue asked the guard to report, while secretly thinking about how many pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake she would have to extort from Mo Junyang when she met him later.
However, a quarter of an hour later, she could neither enter the house nor wait for Mo Junyang.
Qu Yuebai came out, looked at Shi Qingxue with an apologetic look, and said helplessly: "It's really unlucky for you to come. Jun Yang just went out and left not long ago. If you want to see him, why don't you go into the house?" Wait, or if you need help with anything, I can do it."
Qu Yuebai is Mo Junyang's first aide, and his attitude largely represents Mo Junyang's attitude.
Although Shi Baoyan didn't know Qu Yuebai's correct identity, she guessed his status from the attitude of Prince Rui's family towards Qu Yuebai. She was so jealous that she secretly cursed: Shi Qingxue is really lucky. Prince Rui was subdued, and even the people in Prince Rui's palace obeyed her orders.
However, Qingxue didn't know about 'treasure' at that time, so she was not happy because of Qu Yuebai's words. Instead, she asked glumly: "I just came to see him, where has he gone?"
A trace of stiffness flashed across Qu Yuebai's face, but Qingxue was immersed in her own emotions and didn't realize it, so she heard him reply in a gentle tone: "I'm not sure, why don't you go to Duixueyuan to take a rest! "
"Ah! Let's forget it." Shi Qingxue didn't see the longing look in Shi Baoyan's eyes towards Prince Rui's Mansion, and refused without even thinking about saving her.
In Mo Junyang's absence, Shi Qingxue broke into a cold sweat just thinking about that lonely courtyard, and she didn't even want to look at the courtyard.
The emotions come out of nowhere.
Before Shi Qingxue had time to think deeply, she heard someone calling her name from behind.
Looking back, it was Zhao Haoran who had just asked someone to deliver the letter.
"Third Prince Zhao, why are you here?" Shi Qingxue was a little surprised, but still took the initiative to greet Zhao Haoran.
Zhao Haoran answered casually: "This palace is sending..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped, stared at Shi Qingxue strangely, and shouted strangely: "You, what you are talking about... is wrong! Why aren't you stupid?"
Shi Qingxue: "..." Probably only a natural like Zhao Haoran can call her stupid with confidence!
Shi Baoyan on the side couldn't help laughing. Only then did Zhao Haoran realize that he had said the wrong thing and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I..."
It was so interesting to see the prince of a country blushing and scratching his head because of his apology.
The last bit of anger in Shi Qingxue's heart was gone, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I was indeed a little uncomfortable before, but I'm fine now.
At least the time I beat you, it was definitely a normal state! "
At this moment, Zhao Haoran ignored his embarrassment and said angrily: "It was just my carelessness that time. If it happens again, there's no telling who will win!"
Shi Qingxue raised her eyebrows and hummed: "Really? Then let's compete again!"
"I think so too!"
Zhao Haoran originally planned to compete with Shi Qingxue. He was a little unhappy after being rejected just now. Now that the other party came to his door, he naturally wanted it. He quickly ordered people to prepare horses and rush to the suburbs.
Shi Baoyan suddenly interjected at this time, "What's the competition? It sounds so interesting. Sixth sister, I want to go too, okay?"
Shi Qingxue felt a dark streak after hearing this, and finally couldn't help but feel tired of Shi Baoyan who clung to her like a slug. The most annoying thing was that she couldn't refuse easily.
Zhao Haoran asked bluntly: "Who are you?"
