Shi Qingxue stopped for a moment and turned back in confusion, "What else does the Fourth Princess have to do?"
Feng Mei snorted dissatisfiedly: "Is this my permission for you to leave?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
This Feng Mei really feels good about herself!
Who does she think she is
Whether Qingxue leaves or not, does she still need her approval
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and couldn't help complaining: "Qingxue doesn't know when the Fourth Prince's Mansion will also move to Taole Palace?"
"What do you mean?" Feng Mei frowned and asked in confusion.
She had a vague feeling that Shi Qingxue would definitely not say good things about her, but she didn't quite understand what the other party meant by his words.
At this time, Chen Xiujiao, who was watching the excitement from the side, interrupted and said, "Fourth Princess, don't you understand? Someone is laughing at you for stretching your hand too far, reaching Taole Palace."
Only then did Feng Mei understand. Her face suddenly darkened, and she shouted loudly at Shi Qingxue: "Shi Qingxue, how dare you ridicule me? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you for being disrespectful?"
Shi Qingxue glanced at Chen Xiujiao, who was enjoying the excitement, and looked at Feng Mei, who was furious, as if she was about to pounce at any moment. She curled her lips and said calmly: "Qingxue doesn't dare."
Feng Mei thought it was because Shi Qingxue was afraid of her noble status and finally bowed to her.
His anger subsided slightly, but he still raised his chin and said arrogantly: "Humph! You have already said what you said. It's useless to say that you don't dare now. I will still punish you."
Tsk, you are really using chicken feathers as arrows.
Who does Feng Mei think she is
Not to mention that in Mo Country, before Mo Junhao was crowned king, the four princes and concubines had no rank; in terms of status, Shi Qingxue now has the title of Prince Rui's Crown Princess on her head, which is no better than that of Prince Rui. Feng Meicha.
Where did Feng Mei get the confidence to yell at her and point fingers at her
Anyway, Shi Qingxue would definitely not buy it.
She glanced at Feng Mei coldly, "How do you want to punish me?"
"If you kneel down now, kowtow to me three times, and sincerely admit your mistake, I will spare you this time." Feng Mei ordered Shi Qingxue in a tone that sounded like grace.
Although she was not as tall as Shi Qingxue, she still kept raising her chin and her eyes almost reached the sky.
Shi Qingxue was so amused by the other party's funny actions that she wanted to laugh, but she still tried hard to hold it in, and then asked indifferently: "What if I say no?"
"Hmph! You don't have the right to say no here! If you don't obey me, I will ask the guards to hold you down and kneel down to me!" Feng Mei threatened in a deep tone.
This person must have really disliked Shi Qingxue for a long time, and today he made up his mind to make Qingxue look embarrassed in front of everyone.
At this time, they all entered the courtyard of Taole Palace. There were many noble ladies from aristocratic families standing around, but no one dared to get into trouble at this juncture. They only whispered and cast sympathetic glances at Shi Qingxue from time to time.
Feng Mei was domineering and unreasonable, and Shi Qingxue was not the same person for a day or two. Shi Qingxue was also unlucky today and bumped into Feng Mei's nose. It was really pitiful.
Shi Qingxue glanced at the people in the yard, received a lot of sympathy, and found it inexplicably funny.
Why are everyone so sure that she will be tortured by Feng Mei
But this is not the focus of Shi Qingxue's attention. The reason why she was willing to confront Feng Mei in front of everyone, and even deliberately provoked the other party in her previous 'provocation' was just to do an experiment.
And now the experimental results seem to be there.
The owner of Taole Palace has not yet appeared. Shi Qingxue didn't believe that Concubine Tao was completely unaware of what was going on and was just ignoring it.
It is not yet known whether he acted like this because he was afraid of getting into trouble or because he wanted to protect someone.
Qingxue pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "This is Taole Palace. Even if the fourth prince and concubine really thinks that there is something wrong with Qingxue, you shouldn't be the one to punish her, right?"
Feng Mei's face froze at Shi Qingxue's straightforward words, and she couldn't say anything.
At this time, Chen Xiujiao suddenly helped: "Mei Niang is the fourth prince's concubine, you are just a daughter of a noble family. Whenever she disciplines you, you should accept it obediently."
This is to use status to oppress people.
Shi Qingxue pouted, thinking that these people's methods were too old-fashioned, and they didn't get tired of going back and forth.
However, Feng Mei looked at her arrogantly as if she had found someone to rely on, "Yes, you are just a girl from a noble family, I can discipline you at any time!"
Shi Qingxue was almost frightened by Feng Mei's "robust words", but she would not buy Feng Mei's blame.
Not to mention that Feng Mei is equal to her in terms of grade, let’s just talk about her status...
Qingxue smiled, and Yun Danfeng reminded gently: "Did the fourth prince and concubine forget that His Majesty has decreed a marriage to me?"
Even though Shi Qingxue has not officially married Mo Junyang yet, in Mo Country, granting a marriage means that she already enjoys the treatment of Prince Rui's Crown Princess.
With Feng Mei, the fourth prince's concubine, having the same status, the other party had no so-called disciplinary rights at all.
Feng Mei almost broke her teeth.
They were both granted marriage by the emperor, but their treatment was completely different.
When Qingxue was granted the title of Prince Consort of Prince Rui, there were fertile fields, shops and estates, and various rewards continued, but Feng Mei seemed to be a little more prosperous than Qingxue.
After all, the fourth prince has the right to inherit the throne - but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shi Qingxue, the Crown Prince Rui's concubine, is much more favored than Feng Mei's fourth prince concubine.
How could Feng Mei not be jealous.
But what about jealousy
Just like Shi Qingxue said, both of them are considered royal family members, and Feng Mei doesn't have the right to teach her a lesson yet.
Feng Mei was furious and stared at Shi Qingxue.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, but Liang Zixin saw something was wrong and stepped forward to smooth things over, "We are all here to visit the second prince and concubine. There is no comparison between who comes first and who comes last."
Liang Zixin's original intention was for everyone to calm down and calmly go into the house to visit the pregnant Shi Baojing.
Unexpectedly, Feng Mei just took the anger from Shi Qingxue and did not buy Liang Zixin's blame at all. She turned around and vented her anger on Liang Zixin.
"I am speaking at the same time as Qingxue, do you have the right to interrupt? Who do you think you are?!"
These words were so unpleasant, no matter how good-tempered Liang Zixin was, her expression turned pale and she looked at Feng Mei unable to speak.
Feng Mei was angry, raised her chin again, and said arrogantly: "What are you looking at? Are you allowed to look at me casually?"
Liang Zixin: “…”
Shi Qingxue originally didn't want to get involved, but Feng Mei's unreasonable troubles were really annoying.
She pulled Liang Zixin back and put on a faint smile, "I wonder if the Fourth Princess has ever heard such a story?"
Feng Mei suffered a lot from Shi Qingxue, and when she saw that the other party suddenly changed the subject, she couldn't help but look at Shi Qingxue warily, not daring to speak rashly.
Shi Qingxue continued in a story-telling tone and said leisurely: "Once upon a time, there was a myna bird. It chirped all day long, gossiping about people. It thought that it was the most beautiful and noble bird in the world, but it didn't want others to just dislike it. This myna bird is so noisy that I don’t want to pay attention to it.
One day, the myna bird was so excited that it fell down from the tree and plunged into the mud. The smelly and dirty mud just sealed the myna bird's mouth, and the world was pure from then on. Already…”
Shi Qingxue is eloquent, and when telling stories, her tone of voice and expression are just right, without being exaggerated, and she can make the audience feel as if they are actually there.
After everyone listened, several of them couldn't help laughing.
Feng Mei's face suddenly darkened upon hearing this, and she stared at Shi Qingxue gloomily, "What do you mean by this?"
Shi Qingxue shrugged innocently, "I'm talking about myna! Why are you so excited?"
This is the so-called calling mulberry and scolding Sophora japonica, but calling it "Sophora japonica" without any chance of refutation.
Feng Mei jumped up and down in anger, probably because she finally realized that they were bickering, and she couldn't get any favors from Shi Qingxue.
After weighing the situation, he finally left angrily.
Liang Zixin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Qingxue gratefully, "Thank you Qingxue, if it weren't for you just now, I don't know what I would have done?"
Shi Qingxue also smiled and said it was okay.
By the time she entered Shi Baojing's room, most of the other visitors had left.
When Shi Baojing saw her, she waved her hand for everyone else to go down. When they were the only two people left in the room.
Bao Jing couldn't help but said: "You humiliated the fourth prince like this when you were in the courtyard just now. Is everything going to be okay?"
"What can happen?" Shi Qingxue didn't care.
Shi Baojing frowned worriedly, "She is also the fourth prince's concubine after all. No one can predict the future situation. If the government gains power, she will definitely not let you go easily."
Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Baojing quietly, and the concern and worry in the other person's eyes didn't seem fake.
When she thought of this, the last discomfort in her heart disappeared.
Then he had a straight talk with Shi Baojing, "Second sister sent Xia Liang to Lanxun Villa to look for me two days ago?"
Shi Baojing's face froze and she looked at Shi Qingxue awkwardly.
After a long while, he explained in a low voice: "Actually, the mother-in-law wanted to see you, but she was afraid that you would not want to enter the palace, so she asked Xia Liang to pass the message."
But Shi Qingxue saw through it, but the goal was still not achieved.
Concubine Tao didn't know how many times she lost her temper behind her back, and Shi Baojing was still nominally Concubine Tao's daughter-in-law. She had to accept her mother-in-law's accusations, no matter whether they were right or not.
It's just that Shi Baojing didn't want to say more about these things.
Shi Qingxue understood, she asked sternly: "Is Concubine Tao making things difficult for you?"
Shi Baojing shook her head, "No. She probably feels that there is a layer between you and me. It's normal if you don't come. She just said a few words to me and it's nothing."
It's just that those words were so ridiculing that it was hard to hear.
"Why did she suddenly want me to enter the palace?" Shi Qingxue still didn't understand what interests he had with Concubine Tao
"Probably... it's for His Highness Ninth Prince's business." Shi Baojing said uncertainly.
She was just guessing, because Mo Junzhan had a fight with Concubine Tao right after he came back.
The mother and son were quarreling with the door closed. Only a few sharp sounds were occasionally heard outside, and it was unclear what they discussed.
But then Mo Junzhan left the palace directly and went to Yuejian Mountain. Concubine Tao found Shi Baojing with a worried look on her face and borrowed Xia Liang's money.
After Shi Qingxue heard the cause and effect, her doubts did not diminish.
She pursed her lips tightly and wanted to ask something else, but a servant outside knocked on the door: "Second Princess, please come over."
