Shi Qingxue wanted to go to Jiangzhou with Mo Junyang, but she couldn't just leave.
There is still a big 'problem' in the house. Unless it is solved, she really can't think of leaving the house.
The problem was none other than Shi Qingmin.
Her baby brother.
Although Shi Qingmin no longer needs her hand to feed him, he still relies on her very much. Especially when you are sick or in pain, you are even more inseparable from her care.
Once Shi Qingxue leaves, I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in a month or two.
Shi Qingmin didn't know if he could bear it.
"Liu Niang, just go ahead! I and my servants will take care of the eldest son here, and everything will be fine." Dong Shuang patted her chest confidently.
Shi Qingxue smiled bitterly and said in her heart: The more you say this, the more worried I become.
"Forget it!" Shi Qingxue sighed slightly, pretending not to see Dong Shuang's pouting little mouth, and turned to tell Xia Mang, "Xia Mang, Qingmin will be taken care of by you. You must take care of me." Be kind to him, you must not let anything happen to him, you know?"
Xia Mang had always obeyed Shi Qingxue's instructions, but now he couldn't help frowning and said hesitantly: "I want to follow you to Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou is a remote town, if you don't have this slave to follow you I’m really worried about this servant around me.”
Dongshuang also said hurriedly: "I will also follow Liu Niang to Jiangzhou."
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but feel funny when she saw that each of her maids had bigger ideas than the last.
She knew that these two people were loyal to her, and they would definitely not be able to persuade her.
He simply said with a straight face: "Are you the master or am I the master? Don't you want to listen to what I say?"
"I don't dare, slave."
"I don't dare, slave."
Xia Mang and Dongshuang responded in unison, bowing their heads obediently and admitting their mistake.
Only then did Qingxue slow down her tone and tell Xia Mang the truth: "You know, during my trip to Jiangzhou, the one I worried about the most was Qingmin. Even though my mother no longer has any resentment towards him, I still don't worry about leaving Qingmin. Min will be taken care of by the servants in the mansion. You are stable and I only trust you.
So please take good care of Qingmin, okay? "
Qingxue said this when Xia Mang saw him. Even if he really had some thoughts in his heart, he had no choice but to obey and said: "I will obey your arrangements."
Dongshuang asked quickly: "What about my slave? Is it okay for you and Liu Niang to go?"
When Qingxue looked over, Dongshuang said again: "This slave is immature and unsteady, and she is also naughty and mischievous all day long. She is definitely not suitable to stay at home to take care of children, so let me stay with you Liu Niang and take care of you, okay?" good?"
Shi Qingxue was amused by Dong Shuang's efforts to make trouble, and couldn't help but sneer: "You also know that you are naughty?"
Dong Shuang stuck out her tongue angrily and laughed: "Isn't it because you are protecting me, my master? Isn't this slave a little more indulgent?"
"I think you're not just 'a little indulgent', you're simply going too far." Xia Mang poked Dong Shuang's forehead with his slender finger and scolded him angrily.
"You are relying on Liu Niang to pamper you, so you can do whatever you want here, and you don't even care about the master."
Dongshuang was angry at being criticized, but she still wanted Shi Qingxue to take her with her, so she obediently didn't argue and just looked at Shi Qingxue pitifully.
Shi Qingxue lost her temper because of her little look. She waved her hand to indicate that Xia Mang didn't need to be lectured, and said with a smile: "Come on, we will definitely have women around us on this trip, so just follow me! But I have something to say. But I have to tell you beforehand.”
When Dongshuang heard her master Xiaoyi's interests, she quickly put away her cheerful smile and said in a decent manner: "Liu Niang, please tell me."
"First of all, it's not like Duke Shi's mansion outside. You have to be obedient and not lose your temper." Shi Qingxue knew that Dong Shuang was just a little naughty and would not bully others, but some words had to be explained in advance.
Dongshuang naturally agreed and vowed not to cause any trouble to his master.
Qingxue added: "Secondly, Prince Mo is leading this trip, and he is the main one. You have to obey whatever orders he gives, and you have to regard him as your master. Do you understand?"
Dongshuang's little face showed a little hesitation, and she looked at Qingxue in embarrassment: "But slave, slave, I am your maid! Isn't it okay for slave to listen to you?"
The little maid seems to have a big heart, but she has a clear heart.
She clearly distinguished Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang from beginning to end. Their marriage only gave Mo Junyang the status of a 'future uncle', and it would not make Dongshuang treat Mo Junyang like she was loyal to Shi Qingxue. Loyal.
Shi Qingxue knew this, so she made a three-part agreement with Dong Shuang in advance. Unexpectedly, this maid was also stubborn, and was not even willing to lie to her or make her happy.
Qingxue had lost her temper with Dong Shuang, but the matter was so important that she couldn't condone Dong Shuang.
He said forcefully: "In short, this matter has been settled. If you can't prohibit Prince Mo, then you better not go!"
Dongshuang looked at Shi Qingxue helplessly, hoping that her master would take back his life, but his master had a hard heart and ignored her.
The little maid had no choice but to think that Prince Mo loved his master so much now, even if he wanted to fall in love with him, he probably wouldn't do it for a while.
So if you listen to Prince Mo for the time being, it won't be harmful to the master, right
Dongshuang weighed it secretly, and finally nodded and agreed: "Dongshuang promises that he will listen to Prince Mo along the way and will obey all orders and prohibitions."
Seeing that Shi Qingxue finally showed a smile, Dongshuang also became happy. She looked at Shi Qingxue with wide eyes and asked, "Why don't you continue talking?"
"What did you say?" Shi Qingxue was more confused than she was.
Dongshuang said stupidly: "Isn't there three chapters in the agreement? You just said two points! What is the third point?"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She was speechless about Dongshuang.
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the other person's head, and hummed: "By the way, I'm telling you that we will go together with you on this trip, so you can think about the third point on your own!"
After saying that, Qingxue ignored the maid and set off to see Shi Qingmin.
——
Although Qu Yuebai no longer insisted on following Mo Junyang to Jiangzhou, he was still very worried about the trip to Jiangzhou.
I couldn't help but remind him: "Jun Yang, you can be regarded as a meritorious official who helped the new emperor ascend to the throne, right? No matter how good he is, he should not treat you like this!"
What's the point of sending you to Jiangzhou! "
Mr. Qu was very dissatisfied with Mo Junyu's behavior of throwing it away after use, and he started talking about the current emperor's fault without any concealment.
At this time, Mo Junyang was looking at the scenery outside the window with his hands behind his hands. When Qu Yuebai complained, he turned to glance at him and said coldly: "Okay, this is Muxueyuan so you can't be arrogant. Why don't you still?" If he really thinks he has a good temper and knows that you are orchestrating him behind his back, will he still not be angry at all?" Both of them knew who this 'he' was referring to.
Qu Yuebai didn't refute when he heard the words, but there was still anger in his eyebrows, and he couldn't let go of the matter no matter what.
Mo Junyang sighed and added: "This matter is not that simple. The emperor is not as snobbish as you say, so you really don't have to worry too much."
"If he didn't deliberately mess with you, why did he send you to Jiangzhou? Generally speaking, even if you are really transferred, you have to go to places where there is plenty of money to show your reward, right?" Qu Yuebai couldn't figure it out.
Mo Junyang showed a cold smile and sneered: "Because there is nothing he can do!"
"What do you mean?" Qu Yuebai couldn't understand for a moment.
"You will also say that Jiangzhou's trip is far more difficult than we imagined. Do you think the emperor doesn't know this? If he hadn't been desperate, I don't think he would have revealed this shortcoming to me."
Mo Junyang said something meaningful, but Qu Yuebai was even more confused and looked at Mo Junyang stupidly.
"You don't understand, Your Majesty. I've known him for so many years. It's true that he relies on and trusts me, but he may not feel that way with me in his heart.
He probably understands that everything he has is from me, and even his life was saved by me. He will always be in debt to me and always inferior to me in this matter. But he was arrogant and unwilling to admit this fact.
Even if you can't change it, you have to try your best to cover it up. During this period, the best proof is that he came to me less and less to discuss political matters. He doesn't want to show weakness to me, and he doesn't want others to think that he can't survive without me. "
Mo Junyang spoke slowly, word by word, clearly analyzing Mo Junyu's twists and turns of mind.
Mo Junyu thought that no one knew what he was thinking, but he didn't know that Mo Junyang had already figured it out.
It's just that he never said anything and pretended not to know.
Qu Yuebai showed a look of sudden realization, "So that's it. I was still wondering why he didn't like to discuss political affairs with you recently, saying that he would burn bridges by crossing rivers, but I didn't expect that there was such a tortuous thought in it."
He clicked his tongue and sighed, finally feeling confused again.
"Then why did he leave Jiangzhou's affairs to you again this time?"
"Didn't I say it before? He has nothing to do!" Mo Junyang showed a slightly cold smile.
There was ridicule in his stern expression, "He couldn't solve Jiangzhou's troubles by his own ability, so he had to find me again."
Qu Yuebai: "..." Why does he think Mo Junyu's behavior is more shameless than throwing it away after use
When it doesn't work, just kick it away. When it works, use coercion and inducement...
Qu Yuebai's impression of Mo Junyu became even worse, and he couldn't help asking Mo Junyang depressedly, "Then why do you want to help him?"
If Qu Yuebai had to tell him, Mo Junyang should just say he was sick and not go away.
Mo Junyang shook his head and told the truth: "This is not the time to break up with him, besides..."
Mo Shizi's eyes brightened a bit, "This trip is indeed what I want to do."
Qu Yuebai had nothing to say, so he had to ask: "Then what can I do?"
Mo Junyang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Mo Junhao is now fleeing to the Northland. The forces in Kyoto will either follow the Northland or surrender. Logically speaking, they have been dispersed, but the forest is so big, and there are still people left behind if we can't protect them all." Kyoto, I want you to find all these details left in Kyoto."
"yes!"
