Shi Qingxue blinked in confusion and mouthed silently: Who is it
Mo Junyang responded with the same mouth: Mo You.
No wonder this voice sounded familiar.
Shi Qingxue didn't have much contact with her cousin Mo Junyu. She just saw that although the other person was a scholar, he had a mean face and didn't want to get close to others.
This time, he stopped the car in front of everyone, and his attitude was so bad, which was really unpleasant.
Shi Qingxue held Mo Junyang's hand and stopped him from speaking. She asked in the same cold voice: "The Crown Prince and I were about to enter the palace to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager. What was the purpose of Master Mo rashly blocking the car? But I think It’s not important to say thank you?”
It is true that gratitude is not important, but the face of the Empress Dowager is the most important!
Mo You was left speechless by the question.
If he dared to answer yes, Shi Qingxue would definitely dare to accuse him of a crime of disrespect.
Outside the carriage, Mo You looked aggrieved, scratching his head and scratching his head, thinking of what to say, but he had nothing to say for a long time.
He became anxious secretly in his heart. What he thought was a sure-fire move turned out to be a stone hitting his feet.
Mo You simply couldn’t tell how miserable he was!
At this moment, another female voice came.
"The Empress Dowager requested to summon Prince Rui's Crown Princess alone. Please come with your servant!"
Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Ling Ruiyin called her over at this time. Was it a coincidence or was he deliberately trying to separate her and Mo Junyang.
Summoned alone!
No matter what Shi Qingxue thought, the former was more likely, but was it necessary for Ling Ruiyin to do this
Did something happen that they didn't know about
Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang were both unsure, but decided to wait and see what would happen.
"Then I'll go see the Queen Mother first, you..."
Shi Qingxue hesitated - if she went to see Ling Ruiyin, then Mo Junyang would definitely go to see Mo Junyu.
Although it was not a big deal, she felt very uncomfortable and weird about being separated from Mo Junyang at this juncture.
Even before we separated, we already missed each other.
Qingxue blushed for her little thought.
He quickly said: "You should go too!"
She opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. Outside, Ling Ruiyin's people and Mo You were already lined up on both sides, waiting for her and Mo Junyang.
Qingxue pursed her lips slightly and followed the maid to the Ci'an Palace of the Empress Dowager without saying anything else.
In Ci'an Palace, Ling Ruiyin had already ordered refreshments to be laid out.
When she saw Shi Qingxue, she waved enthusiastically, "Xiao Xue'er, come to the Ai family quickly. The Ai family hasn't seen you for a long time!"
This is definitely an exaggeration.
Not long ago, when Qingxue was granted the title of Princess Zhuo, she went to the palace in person to express her gratitude, but now she hasn't even had ten days to do so.
But it was impossible for Qingxue to really refute Ling Ruiyin. She had to walk to Ling Ruiyin obediently and say, "Qingxue has met the empress."
Ling Ruiyin pulled Qingxue to sit next to her and said lovingly: "How did you spend last night?"
Shi Qingxue never expected that the Empress Dowager would ask her such a private matter when she was summoned alone. She suddenly looked awkward, ashamed and embarrassed, and the expression on her face was a little bad.
Seeing this, Ling Ruiyin mistakenly thought it was a bad sign, frowned slightly, and then asked: "What? But Prince Mo bullied you?"
Of course not, it’s just that I’m embarrassed to tell you about my boudoir affairs!
Shi Qingxue secretly cursed and wanted to cover up the matter lightly, but she didn't want Ling Ruiyin to say immediately: "If you are wronged somewhere, just tell the Ai family, the Ai family will make the decision for you, don't be afraid!"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
It is said that others try to persuade others to make peace but not to leave. Ling Ruiyin is someone who has been through this before and should have rich experience in this area.
At this time, without even listening to Shi Qingxue's words, he firmly concluded that Qingxue had been wronged and would make the decision for Qingxue regardless of the reason.
He seems to be very protective of Qingxue and wants to give her a solid backing.
But the strange thoughts in Shi Qingxue's heart became increasingly clear.
Why does she think Ling Ruiyin's attitude is a bit sowing discord? !
Shi Qingxue had many thoughts in her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. She just frowned slightly and explained: "My Lady, you misunderstood. Qingxue has not been wronged."
Ling Ruiyin stared at her closely and asked in disbelief: "Really? Don't say anything for fear of troublesome Ai family, otherwise you will be the one who suffers!"
This time, it looks more like sowing dissension!
Now almost everyone in Kyoto knows how much Mo Junyang dotes on Shi Qingxue. He wants the stars but not the moon, but Ling Ruiyin still said such things.
Either blind or deaf.
Shi Qingxue's mind turned around and she leaned next to Ling Ruiyin and smiled sweetly, "Mother, don't worry! Qingxue has never been the kind of person who would wrong her. If Prince Mo really dares to bully me, Qingxue will definitely be the first one. I’m complaining to you!”
At this point, she changed the topic and said meaningfully: "Besides, Prince Mo is the person you have watched grow up. Don't you understand his character?"
Ling Ruiyin's wrinkled face froze, as if she was a little embarrassed, but she soon calmed down and said calmly: "The character of Prince Mo is naturally trustworthy to the Ai family, but people's hearts are changeable. ! It’s the hardest thing to guess. The Ai family is just afraid that the Ai family’s Xiao Xue’er will be wronged.”
Shi Qingxue: "..."
She didn't know that Ling Ruiyin loved her so much? !
Qingxue lowered her head and laughed at herself.
She was not heartless. She knew that Ling Ruiyin must have cared about her when he said this, but she also keenly heard Ling Ruiyin's guard against Mo Junyang.
But why
Mo Junyang is obviously on Mo Junyu's side and has been Mo Junyu's strongest supporter from beginning to end. Does Ling Ruiyin need to guard against Mo Junyang
Even saying that Mo Junyu was promoted to the position by Mo Junyang is not an exaggeration at all!
At least in Shi Qingxue's perception, Mo Junyu should have died long ago, let alone win the throne.
Ling Ruiyin's current behavior made it seem as if Mo Junyang might 'change his mind' at any time.
It’s really unreasonable!
Shi Qingxue was a little dissatisfied, but since the other party was the Empress Dowager, she couldn't really lose her temper with Ling Ruiyin.
I had no choice but to laugh and change the subject: "If you want to change, it must be for the better."
When Ling Ruiyin saw Qingxue, it seemed that she didn't want to say more on this topic, but when she thought about it, she understood a little bit.
After all, newlyweds are a time of intense love and affection, and now people would not be happy to speak ill of their husbands.
Ling Ruiyin changed the topic and asked as if chatting about ordinary things: "Isn't it the first time Qingxue visited Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday?"
Shi Qingxue smiled sheepishly and said nothing.
Of course this isn't her first time going to Prince Rui's Mansion!
Prince Rui's Mansion has long become her second home.
There is probably no woman like her who has become so familiar with her husband's backyard before leaving the court, right
"Now Qingxue has married into the palace, but how do you feel the palace is different from the past?" Ling Ruiyin asked again.
This stumped Shi Qingxue!
She entered the palace with her head covered the whole time. How could she know what the palace looked like now
Even when I went out today, I couldn't see clearly because it was too dark.
However, it was rare that Ling Ruiyin changed the topic, so she still commented favorably: "Probably for the wedding, the palace was renovated, and it is naturally better than before."
"Oh? Did Qingxue find anything interesting?" Ling Ruiyin asked.
Shi Qingxue blinked in confusion, not understanding what Ling Ruiyin was asking
Prince Rui's Mansion, a home, what is the difference between fun and not fun
Ling Ruiyin saw that Qingxue was not yet enlightened, so he had to speak more straightforwardly, "How do the furnishings and decorations in the mansion compare to the palace?"
Shi Qingxue: "!!!"
Comparing yourself with the palace, are you looking for death
Perhaps Shi Qingxue's surprise was too obvious, so Ling Ruiyin realized that he had said something wrong and quickly supplemented, "The Ai family just used a random metaphor.
The Ai family has not been to Prince Rui's Mansion yet. Xiaoxue'er can tell the Ai family what Prince Rui's Mansion looks like? I heard that the backyard of Prince Rui's Mansion has charming scenery, exquisite decoration, and is breathtaking. It is no less than anywhere else, but is this true? "
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but clench the hand hidden under her sleeve.
Since today's meeting, Ling Ruiyin's topic has been developing in a weird direction.
Especially now, comparing Prince Rui's Mansion to the Royal Palace seems like a commonplace matter.
But Shi Qingxue just felt that the other party was digging a big hole waiting for her to jump into
She pursed her lips, played with the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "I don't think there is anything special about Prince Rui's Mansion, it is just an ordinary building decoration.
Qingxue remembers that when Prince Rui's Mansion was built, the late emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to find palace craftsmen to build it according to the system. It is probably not much different from other princes' mansions, right? "
Ling Ruiyin was stunned for a moment before remembering this again.
Prince Rui's Mansion was indeed built by Mo Xiangbin by the palace craftsmen. At that time, Mo Xiangbin wanted to keep Mo Xiangrui in Kyoto to weaken the latter's military power and at the same time facilitate close surveillance.
Naturally, it was impossible to treat Mo Xiangrui badly.
But those who supervised the construction of the government were the people from the Ministry of Rites, who were the most observant and would certainly not allow anything to be exceeded.
The smile on Ling Ruiyin's face was a little awkward, and after a while she said sarcastically: "The Ai family forgot about this for a while."
Shi Qingxue thoughtfully pretended not to see the embarrassment on Ling Ruiyin's face, and said humbly: "Qingxue is the most stupid and can't describe it. I'm afraid I can't describe the appearance of Prince Rui's Mansion to your empress.
If the empress really wants to know the situation of Prince Rui's Mansion, she can go to the people in the Ministry of Etiquette. They must still have the rabbits that were used to build Prince Rui's Mansion. The empress will know at a glance. "
Ling Ruiyin actually thought of this method, but if she really did it, she would definitely not be able to hide it, and some people would suspect that she had ulterior motives for Prince Rui's Mansion.
By Bai Bai, it falls on the tongue.
Ling Ruiyin would definitely not do this. She quickly said in a chatty tone: "The Ai family is just curious. I asked casually. If you don't know, just don't know! There is no need to mobilize people like this."
In the end, she still asked without giving up: "Qingxue, did you really not find anything special about Prince Rui's Mansion
Prince Rui's Mansion is so big and has no special features at all. It can't be justified, right? "
