Shi Qingxue was confused and wanted to find someone to discuss it with, but found that Mo Junyang was very busy these days and had not been to Lanxun Villa for a while.
No one could tell her what was filling her heart!
As soon as this thought came up, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but spit on herself.
When she and Mo Junyang had something to do, they did their own thing, so it was normal for them not to see each other.
She didn't feel anything bad before, but now she suddenly hadn't seen Mo Junyang for many days, and she felt uncomfortable and empty.
"Tsk, I'm so spoiled by arrogance!"
Shi Qingxue pouted dissatisfiedly.
Even she herself couldn't tell whether her dissatisfaction was directed at Mo Junyang or herself.
Mo Junyang was not here, and she didn't want to discuss it with others, so in the end she just ignored everything.
there is always a solution to a problem.
When things get tough, there will always be a solution.
"What should you do, little thing like you?" Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Qingmin, who was sleeping soundly on the small bed, and smiled helplessly.
Until now, the little thing still refuses to eat until she feeds him.
The Spring Appreciation Banquet would take at least half a day, so Shi Qingmin couldn't go on a hunger strike for most of the day, right
But it is unrealistic to bring such a brat to the spring feast.
"I really don't know what to do with you? Am I pampering you too much?"
Shi Qingxue gently pinched Shi Qingmin's little nose and sighed helplessly.
This was her first time taking care of a child, and she couldn't grasp the balance at all. She just wanted to give the best things to her child.
In addition, Shi Qingmin had a miserable life since he was born, and she really couldn't bear to let him suffer any more.
Shi Qingxue thought about it but couldn't help it, and finally lost to the soft heart.
On the day of the Spring Appreciation Banquet, she fed Shi Qingmin some sugar water before setting off, and then asked Shen Luo and the wet nurse to take Shi Qingmin to Yuejian Mountain.
Of course, she hadn't completely lost her temper yet. She just asked them to wait in the carriage, estimate the time, and find a way to sneak away during the banquet.
As soon as Shi Qingxue got off the carriage, Ling Ruiyin sent a palace maid to greet her.
"Liu Niang, the Queen Mother invites you."
Being so impatient, even Shi Qingxue was a little flattered.
'Scared', 'scared'!
What does the Queen Mother want to do this time
Shi Qingxue smiled at the palace maid and asked her to lead the way.
When people turned their heads, her face was unconsciously stained with heaviness.
"Liu Niang." Xia Mang obviously noticed that this spring feast was unusual and couldn't help but look at Shi Qingxue worriedly.
After a long while, he suggested in a low voice: "Do you need me to send someone to invite Prince Mo?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
All this is nothing!
She had unknowingly developed the "bad habit" of asking Mo Junyang whenever something happened. Why did her maid first think of "asking Prince Mo" when she encountered a problem
Shi Qingxue scraped the bridge of Xia Mang's nose helplessly, "What are you looking for for him?"
Xia Mang was speechless and looked at Shi Qingxue stupidly.
She had said it subconsciously just now, but now that she thought about it, even if Mo Junyang was their future uncle, it would be wrong to beg each other for everything.
"Okay, okay, didn't I come here like this before without him? Don't worry!" Shi Qingxue waved her hand to Xia Mang.
"You take good care of Qingmin here, I can be alone."
After that, she followed the palace maid to see Ling Ruiyin.
When Ling Ruiyin saw Shi Qingxue, she grabbed her hand with great enthusiasm and said affectionately: "It's been a long time since Xiaoxue'er from the Ai family has visited the Ai family, but she doesn't want to see the Ai family?"
"Of course not." Shi Qingxue was made a little uncomfortable by Ling Ruiyin's unusual enthusiasm, and quickly explained: "There were a lot of things going on at home a few days ago, and Qingxue couldn't get away, so she didn't go to the palace to pay her respects to the empress often, and she also I hope the Queen Mother will not be offended."
"Of course I won't be surprised." Ling Ruiyin smiled more kindly.
She pulled Shi Qingxue to her side and exchanged greetings for a while. She even took the initiative to greet Shi Qingxue's two newly born brothers.
After getting satisfactory answers, he smiled softly and said: "Xiao Xue'er grew up under the watch of the Ai family, and now she is the future Crown Princess Rui. Her relationship with the royal family is even closer, and she will have to be with her in the future. If you call the Ai family "Royal Grandmother", you won't be able to be separated from the Ai family from now on."
Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes and replied obediently: "Of course I won't."
"The Ai family knows that Xiaoxue'er is the most lovable." Ling Ruiyin seemed extremely satisfied with Shi Qingxue, constantly boasting about her.
Even though Qingxue often accepted Ling Ruiyin's love and praise, Ling Ruiyin's behavior today was a bit strange to her.
What's even more exaggerated is that Empress Liang Liang Jingxian, who had never dealt with her very well in the past, actually joined Ling Ruiyin in praising her today for the first time.
Looking at that smiling face, there was no hint of reluctance at all.
Shi Qingxue was so frightened by the other party's smile that she felt strange in her heart.
What does this good queen want to do
"Qingxue, why haven't you gone to play with your little sister Yuzhen recently?" Liang Jingxian suddenly asked.
Qingxue paused and looked at Liang Jingxian with an inquiring gaze.
This person really didn't care about anything. He knew clearly that she and Mo Yuzhen had basically fallen out since Mo Junjiu's death, but he still had the nerve to stand up for Mo Yuzhen with her
However, in front of so many people, Shi Qingxue did not want to show off to the current queen, so she responded politely: "Yu Zhen has been feeling unwell recently and has been reluctant to go out."
"It's true that I, as a mother, don't care enough about my daughter to know about this." Liang Jingxian sighed in a low voice, pretending to be sad.
It was as if she was really blaming herself.
But this drama didn't last for a few seconds. The other party put on a worried face and said to Ling Ruiyin: "Qingxue and Yuzhen have always been good friends. Now that Kodama is not here, she will be bored for a long time."
This was said as if Shi Qingxue only had one child, Mo Yuzhen, and would not be able to play without him.
There were so many flaws that Shi Qingxue didn't know how to complain.
However, Ling Ruiyin seemed to have really listened to Liang Jingxian's words and nodded in response: "Indeed, Qingxue looks calmer today than in previous years."
That's because she was summoned to see the Queen Mother as soon as she came to the banquet!
No matter how many friends Shi Qingxue has, no one will compete with the Queen Mother at this time, okay
Shi Qingxue complained silently in her heart, with a faint smile on her face, "Qingxue is pretty good like this."
"What's so good about this?" Ling Ruiyin scolded, directly interpreting Shi Qingxue's words as forcing a smile.
Then he couldn't help but say: "Qingxue, today the Ai family will introduce you to a good friend. From now on, you will get closer to her, so you won't be lonely."
Shi Qingxue paused, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes, but because she was lowering her head, no one else saw it.
Her voice was crisp and full of confusion, "I wonder who the empress is referring to?"
Ling Ruiyin winked at Liang Jingxian, who then pushed a young girl wearing pink palace clothes beside her towards Shi Qingxue.
He introduced with a smile: "Her name is Liang Zixin. She is my niece. She is eighteen years old this year. She is the same age as you and a few months younger than you.
Come, Zixin, don’t be shy, come and meet your sister Qingxue. "
While speaking, Liang Jingxian had already pushed the young girl towards Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue looked at the shy and charming face of the young girl and felt a little dazed for a moment.
She had actually seen this gentle and beautiful face before—Liang Zixin was also the eldest granddaughter of Prime Minister Liang. She had an extraordinary status and often attended such scenes—but they belonged to different camps and had almost no social circles. overlapping.
They didn't even have a chance to nod and say hello to each other, so they really didn't know each other at all.
But today Liang Jingxian actually introduced Liang Zixin to her in public, and the way she spoke was very intimate, as if after this introduction, Liang Zixin would replace Mo Yuzhen as her good friend.
Shi Qingxue just wanted to say to Liang Jingxian: Stop daydreaming.
However, when all of this was vaguely attributed to Ling Ruiyin's handiwork, Qingxue's cold and polite refusal could not be uttered.
Looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, Shi Qingxue could not give Liang Jingxian face, but she could not brush off Ling Ruiyin's 'good intentions'.
Ling Ruiyin was watching happily from the side, and Shi Qingxue had no choice but to bite the bullet and say hello to Liang Zixin, "Zixin is polite. I'm not much older than you. We are of the same generation, so just call me Qingxue."
Liang Zixin's little face was pure and pleasant, and her cheeks were flushed because of Shi Qingxue's words, like two big red apples, fresh and tender, and looked very delicious.
However, Liang Zixin's whole person feels very gentle and virtuous, and her every move and smile is charming.
At this time, Qingxue looked down on Liang's family and saw Liang Zixin greeting her with a smile.
His soft voice and quiet and well-behaved appearance also made Shi Qingxue feel good about him.
"Then I will follow Qingxue's wishes and hope that Qingxue will not dislike Zixin for not having seen the world."
Under the public gaze, Shi Qingxue would never have made Liang Zixin lose face, but now she saw that the other party was more dignified and steady, neither arrogant nor arrogant, and she was very satisfied with Liang Zixin.
The smile on her face became more sincere. She just pulled Liang Zixin and smiled: "What did Zixin say? I don't know what Zixin's extraordinary ability is, but your conversational temperament alone makes me feel comfortable." How ashamed!"
Shi Qingxue spoke the truth. Although she was also good at talking, she always tended to come across as squeamish—just too squeamish to be annoying.
But this Liang Zixin makes people fall in love with her at the first sight, and her treatment of others is even more impeccable.
The blush on Liang Zixin's cheeks became even brighter. She felt embarrassed to be praised by Shi Qingxue, but she was not pretending to be shy like those little daughters.
He just said to Qingxue in a low voice: "Qingxue is a compliment. If Qingxue doesn't dislike it, I hope to have more good interactions with Qingxue in the future."
Shi Qingxue smiled and was about to answer.
A low and hoarse male voice interrupted forcefully, "No!"
