Mo Junyang knew what Shi Qingxue was thinking. He scraped the tip of Qingxue's nose and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Qi Ruyue will look like the former 'Princess Rui' again. After all, she is just an imitation. He will not let Qi Ruyue." Ruyue takes the position of 'Princess Rui'."
Shi Qingxue curled her lips, "But your father's attitude changed so quickly that it was hard to see his thoughts clearly."
"It doesn't matter..." Mo Junyang told Shi Qingxue what happened in Prince Rui's Mansion.
Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then she couldn't help but said happily: "Isn't your brother stupid? He has only been in the palace for a few days, and even if Prince Rui treats him differently, he is still just an illegitimate child. He actually tried to shake your position and compete for your favor... "
If Qi Zhengdao is smarter, he should clearly understand his position, respect his father, respect his brother, and win the favor of both of them; even if he is dumber, he should keep to himself and obey his father and brother's arrangements.
After all, Mo Junyang's attitude has been revealed, and Mo Xiangrui's intention is also obvious.
Qi Zhengdao's good days are just around the corner.
But this person was not smart enough and pretended to be smart. He tried to make himself a clown by giving Mo Xiangrui eye drops.
It's just a joke for nothing.
Mo Junyang smiled coldly and commented: "It's a good thing to have some thoughts, but Qi Zhengdao may still need to practice a lot. But it's the father's business, so we don't need to worry too much."
Shi Qingxue tilted her head and thought for a while. Seeing that Mo Junyang really didn't take Qi Zhengdao seriously, she also nodded, "Okay, then just ignore him."
The two cuddled up and chatted softly.
The carriage also slowly drove into the palace.
As soon as the two of them got off the carriage and walked a few steps, the eunuch Xiaoquanzi who was beside the emperor hurriedly came up to them, "I've met Prince Mo and I've met Shi Liuniang."
"My father-in-law is polite, I wonder what important matters my father-in-law is waiting for here?" Shi Qingxue took the initiative to talk.
Xiaoquanzi glanced at Mo Junyang in embarrassment, and opened his mouth to speak, but he hesitated and couldn't get it right.
"Say it." Mo Junyang was in a good mood today and gave Xiaoquanzi a happy surprise.
Xiao Quanzi quickly said: "Your Majesty asked your servant to wait here early, and asked your servant to wait until Crown Prince Mo enters the palace, and then welcome him to the study room for an audience."
Mo Xiangbin's interception caught both of them off guard, and they looked at each other.
"Did your Majesty say what happened?" Mo Junyang asked quietly, showing no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Xiaoquanzi complained incessantly and said to himself: This Prince Mo is quite a big name! When others heard the emperor's summons, they all rushed over, fearing that they would be too late and make the emperor unhappy.
Only Mo Junyang not only looked calm, but even looked like he didn't want to go.
What kind of fuss is this
"Your Majesty! His Majesty summoned you. It must be urgent. Please come with me as soon as possible. Don't make His Majesty wait in a hurry." Xiao Quanzi begged his grandfather and grandma, but he never had the courage to pull Mo Junyang. .
However, Mo Junyang could not feel Xiaoquanzi's "good intentions" at all, and stood there coldly, staring at Xiaoquanzi.
Shi Qingxue knew that it was not that Mo Junyang did not agree with Mo Xiangbin, but that the two of them had just agreed to stay together for the palace banquet.
Mo Xiangbin is so "beating up the mandarin ducks", it's strange that Mo Junyang is willing to give in easily.
Qingxue thought for a while, gave Xiaoquanzi an apologetic look, then pulled Mo Junyang aside and advised in a low voice: "You will also say that these are troubled times. If you openly resist the decree, it will not be for free. Is there a point?"
As she spoke, she looked at Mo Junyang's expression. Seeing that the other party seemed worried, she immediately said: "I have no problem being alone. You don't have to worry too much. Besides, if you let Zichao follow me, what else do you have to worry about?" Relieved?"
Shi Qingxue said a lot, and Fang Fang took it into consideration when they met, but she failed to guess the deepest thought in Mo Junyang's heart - he was not willing to separate from Shi Qingxue at all.
Years and months, days and nights, all the time...
However, Mo Junyang has always known how to hide himself. Even if he has thoughts in his heart and does not want to show them, he will not reveal them at all.
After Qingxue finished speaking, he nodded gently and responded: "Then I will let Zichao accompany you. If anything happens, ask someone to come to me."
"Okay, go ahead!"
The two had to separate before they entered the banquet site.
When Shi Qingxue watched Mo Junyang walk away, the relaxation she had deliberately shown slowly dissipated and turned into a deeper emotion.
She stood quietly, her eyebrows raised high and her expression solemn.
"Liu Niang, what's wrong with you?" Dong Shuang asked quietly, not knowing why.
Shi Qingxue shook her head and did not explain, but said: "It's okay, let's go!"
There are some things that even she herself hasn't figured out yet, so naturally she won't speak rashly.
Shi Qingxue led a group of people and just entered the imperial garden where the banquet was held. Another palace maid came forward and said hello: "I would like to send my regards to Liu Niang. Your Majesty asked my servant to say hello to you."
Qingxue responded with a half salute, "Thank you for your concern, sir. Everything is fine with Qingxue. I also ask my aunt to say hello to you on behalf of Qingxue."
Da Mo has this rule.
If the nobles in the palace like a noble girl from a certain family and it is inconvenient to summon her alone, they will ask their maids to show their favor.
In this way, the more favor a noble girl receives from noble people, the higher her status and reputation will be among the noble ladies of the noble families.
Nowadays, Shi Guogong's palace is in full swing, and Shi Qingxue has attracted much attention and favor, so naturally she has received the most favors from noble people.
Only this time, Shi Qingxue was also a little confused.
She had never seen the palace maid in front of her before, and she didn't know whose subordinate she was. Not all concubines in the harem were qualified to send their own palace maids to say hello to the noble lady. Could it be that there was another noble person who was favored now
The palace maid then said: "Your Majesty also invites Liu Niang to go see her after the banquet."
It was a public show of goodwill, and it was a private meeting.
Such honor and favor did not surprise Shi Qingxue, but instead made her frown.
This would have been done in previous years, and the only person who could do this was the Queen. She was certain that the maid in front of her was definitely not from the Queen's Palace.
In other words, someone is ready to challenge Queen Liang’s position...
Shi Qingxue looked around and happened to see the palace maid Qiaoer, who was often seen around the queen, lagging far behind. She stopped and looked over, looking nervous and excited, but she never came over, as if she was afraid.
Tsk!
Qingxue curled her lips secretly, not understanding that she had become the object and prize winner in the competition among the forces in the palace.
Those people wanted to use her as a gunman, but she didn't give in so easily.
She stared at the palace maid in front of her for a long time, and then asked slowly: "I haven't asked my aunt yet, which nobleman are you serving?"
The palace maid raised her chest high and said, "My name is Bai Lu, and I am on duty in Concubine Liu's palace."
Shi Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then understood again.
Now in the palace, Concubine Liu is indeed the only one who has the ability to compete with Empress Liang.
It's just that Concubine Liu Guifei was deeply favored by the Holy Spirit in the past. Although she was arrogant, she never went out of her way. Now she went ahead of the Queen and summoned her first. She had the intention of surpassing the Queen.
While Qingxue was pondering in her mind, she showed no emotion on her face. She just nodded to the palace maid Bai Lu and said, "Qingxue sincerely obeys the imperial concubine's wishes."
When Bai Lu received Shi Qingxue's 'response', she left with satisfaction.
When Qingxue was still standing there, several favored concubines came one after another to show their kindness, and she agreed one by one.
However, Queen Liang's maid Qiaoer never came forward.
I think so, even if you show kindness, there is an unwritten rule.
People in high positions naturally have the right to be one step ahead of people in low positions, but now Bai Lu is ahead of Qiao'er.
If Qiaoer comes forward again at this time, wouldn't it make the onlookers think that the queen is not as good as a noble concubine
But if you don't come forward, many people will show their kindness to the noble lady, but the queen will do nothing. Isn't this equivalent to sending "powerful power" into the arms of others
Qiaoer was extremely confused, and Shi Qingxue naturally knew it.
But that’s it! She was not a kind-hearted person, and Empress Liang had framed her, so of course she would not be overly sympathetic to help them out.
After dealing with the people in the palace, she took her people to the banquet.
This was the first time for Shi Baoyan to attend such a grand palace banquet. As soon as she entered the palace, she was dazzled by the elegant and luxurious decorations everywhere. Then the dress of the passers-by made her feel ashamed.
Fortunately, Shi Qingxue had anticipated this and had tailor-made a fine palace dress for her before entering the palace, and also gave her many exquisite jewelry, so that she would not be outdone by any other palace maid.
Shi Baoyan had a clear mind. To those noble people, she was like a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to get into their eyes at all.
Thinking of how she used to be so wanton and arrogant towards Shi Qingxue, she was so ashamed that she realized that it was Shi Qingxue who didn't care about her in the past, otherwise she would never have had such an opportunity.
Take today as an example, if Shi Qingxue didn't sincerely bring her to the palace to see the world, even if it was because of Shi Junhe's face, he had to bring her here. As long as the other party doesn't do anything, she can make a fool of herself.
What's more, others may not notice her as a little concubine at all. Even if she carries the name of Shiguo Duke's Mansion on her head, it's nothing.
Shi Baoyan took Shi Qingxue's hand and said sincerely for the first time: "Sixth sister, thank you, and..."
She lowered her head, her face flushed, and her voice was as low as a mosquito's chirp. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. "... In the past, I was too arrogant, I'm sorry!"
She used to compete with Shi Qingxue, but now it would kill her if she had to bow her head first. But even so, she still said it and admitted her fault.
After finishing speaking, she suppressed her shyness and slowly raised her head to look at Shi Qingxue, her eyes showing vulnerability and hope.
This time, she sincerely wanted to shake hands with Shi Qingxue and make peace.
But would Shi Qingxue, who had been hurt by her like that before, still be willing to accept her apology
