Shi Qingxue actually had no intention of arguing with Qi Ruyue, but the other party had to show his presence in front of her, so she couldn't help but return the words softly.
After saying that, Shi Qingxue felt a little regretful.
After all, Qi Ruyue is also Mo Xiangrui's concubine. Wouldn't it be bad for her to refute Qi Ruyue's face in front of Mo Xiangrui
Mo Junyang was completely indifferent to Shi Qingxue's worries, "You can say whatever you want and do whatever you want. If something happens, I will take care of it for you."
Shi Qingxue: "..."
Well, after hearing this, she felt not unreasonable.
But is it really okay for Mo Junyang to indulge himself like this?
She felt like she was being spoiled!
"Hmm!" Shi Qingxue wisely let go of the topic and turned to look at the invitation on the table, wondering: "Do you think I should go to the plum blossom appreciation banquet in the She Mansion?"
"Do you want to go?" Mo Junyang asked, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
After all, according to Shi Qingxue's usual character, she would definitely try her best to avoid these gatherings.
Shi Qingxue was immediately seen through, and there was a bit of embarrassment on her face, "I really don't want to attend such a banquet. But this is hosted by Mrs. She, I..."
Mo Junyang was puzzled, "So what?"
Mrs. She was at best a first-grade imperial concubine. What was so special about her that Shi Qingxue treated her differently
Shi Qingxue said in a low voice: "Old Mrs. She is She Changfeng's biological grandmother. I just thought that although Yuzhen said that she would never leave the Yueshan Palace again in this life, if Mrs. She invites her, she might Going?"
Mo Junyang understood, "Do you want to see Mo Yuzhen?"
Shi Qingxue nodded, "I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her very much, and... I also want to confirm some things with her."
She still cared about what Mo Yuzhen said to her before she got married.
Mo Junyang: "Since you want to go, then go. I'll see you off."
Shi Qingxue was stunned, "Do you really want to send me off?"
Mo Junyang nodded seriously, "Of course, I said so."
"But, that's not..." Shi Qingxue was speechless.
Of course she knew what Mo Junyang said, but she thought it was just Mo Junyang's rhetoric to help her out, and she never thought about asking him to 'fulfill his promise'!
But Mo Junyang said: "I will never break my promise to you."
Such seriousness made Shi Qingxue afraid to look at Mo Junyang.
His eyes flickered, but he finally nodded slightly and replied angrily: "I know, I know."
On the second day, Mo Junyang actually asked his servants to prepare the carriage early in the morning and personally delivered Shi Qingxue to the door of She Mansion.
Such a huge formation almost frightened the steward who welcomed the guests to death. He stepped forward to say hello tremblingly: "Jiao, I have met Crown Prince Mo. The Crown Prince is here. It is a great honor for our house. I will go and inform the master now. ,you… "
It was thanks to the fact that the steward had seen some big scenes that he was not frightened to the point of peeing, but there was also a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he was obviously very frightened.
Shi Qingxue saw her at the side and secretly pulled Mo Junyang's sleeve with an angry look in her eyes: "Look, I told you that you don't need to come!" You were almost scared to death!
Originally, it was just a small banquet to entertain ladies from aristocratic families, and the biggest guests were only the princes and concubines, and the nobles in the palace would definitely not come.
Therefore, the only person receiving her at the door was Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. She's daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhao had just introduced a county princess into the house and she had not come out yet.
I originally thought nothing would happen for a while, but I didn't expect that such a big hole would come out of just such an inch!
The steward wiped his sweat secretly and cursed in his heart.
How could he afford to receive such a big shot
However, to his surprise, Prince Mo, who was rumored to be cold and ruthless, turned out to be surprisingly easy to talk to.
He had a gentle attitude and even a smile in his eyes, "Don't bother me. I have other important matters, so I won't visit your residence for the time being."
After saying that, he turned to look at Shi Qingxue, "You go in! I'll pick you up after the banquet is over."
This earnest warning was as if Shi Qingxue was treated like a three-year-old child.
Shi Qingxue's face felt hot, and she waved her hands to drive Mo Junyang away, "Okay, okay, I understand, please leave quickly!"
Shi Qingxue finally sent Mo Junyang away and was very embarrassed to see the steward still looking confused.
He took the initiative and said, "I'll go in by myself, you don't have to send me away."
She walked into the backyard with Xia Mang and Dong Shuang.
They met Qi Ruyue who had just arrived. Shi Qingxue greeted her politely and wanted to take the first step.
But Qi Ruyue didn't understand her expression at all, and took the initiative to say hello: "Qingxue, why did you just come, but you were delayed on the way
Come, come, let's sit together. "
Shi Qingxue raised her eyes and saw that Qi Ruyue was surrounded by several women. All of them had exquisite make-up, gorgeous flowers, and were dressed in gold and silver. It was as if they were participating in a beauty pageant.
On the contrary, she matches Qi Ruyue quite well.
She had never met any of these women, and had no interest in getting to know them, but now that Qi Ruyue had spoken, she still nodded politely to the women as a greeting!
When one of the women in purple saw this, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Princess, this is the new crown prince in your house. She is a beautiful lady at first glance. Princess, you are so lucky!"
Commenting on Shi Qingxue like this, it seemed as if Shi Qingxue was really Qi Ruyue's daughter-in-law and considered herself her elder.
Shi Qingxue was very well-mannered and did not make trouble. She even smiled at the man in a good-tempered way.
But Dong Shuang is not that good-tempered. If Xia Mang hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed up and scolded the blind woman.
What kind of thing is worthy of commenting on their master!
However, Shi Qingxue didn't care about them, and they came forward instead.
When Qi Ruyue saw Qingxue, she didn't refute and took it as the other party's acquiescence.
Qi Ruyue smiled brightly and took a few steps forward. Regardless of Shi Qingxue's expression, she took Qingxue's arm and said, "Qingxue hasn't met Mrs. Deng and the others yet! Come on, let me introduce you." Introduction. This is..."
She looked like the hostess of the house who wanted to introduce friends to her new daughter-in-law, and her attitude was unusually high.
However, Shi Qingxue could give her face and refuse to act.
I didn't refute before, just because I didn't want to make the scene too ugly, but if Qi Ruyue insists on pushing the envelope, don't blame her for not cooperating!
Shi Qingxue slowly but unwillingly withdrew her hand from Qi Ruyue's, and smiled gently but distantly: "I'm sorry, Qingxue has just arrived and hasn't gone to greet Mrs. She yet, so I won't disturb you now! "
After that, no matter how ugly those people looked, he led his people and left.
When she was out of sight of those people, Dongshuang couldn't help but cursed: "Humph! Does this Concubine Qi really think that she is the master's mother-in-law? She actually tries to put on airs in front of the master
You don't even look at who those people are, are you worthy of being an eyesore in front of your master? "
It's really ridiculous that one or two wives who are just minor officials dare to pretend in front of Prince Rui's concubine.
As soon as Dong Shuang finished scolding, Xia Mang slapped her little head hard.
"Ouch! The little maid covered her head, subconsciously about to get angry, but she met Xia Mang's cold gaze.
The arrogance immediately disappeared without a trace.
But the grievance in my heart could not be eliminated. I could only look at Shi Qingxue pitifully, "Master, look at her!"
Shi Qingxue glanced at Dongshuang with a half-smile, and replied: "Well, I'm looking at it, what's wrong?"
It was different from what he expected. Why didn't his master help him
Dongshuang was unwilling to give in and spoke more bluntly, "Sister Xia bullied me!"
Shi Qingxue usually didn't care much about these two maids. Now he just replied casually: "I saw it. You can also bully them back! I won't stop them."
Dong Shuang: “…”
She can bully him back, but she doesn't dare to break it!
The little maid wants to cry but has no tears.
Shi Qingxue had fun with the maids for a while, then she straightened her face and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. You guys wait here while I go to pay my respects to Mrs. She."
"Ah? You really want to go!" Dong Shuang looked surprised.
She thought it was just an excuse to get rid of Qi Ruyue.
Shi Qingxue secretly rolled her eyes.
If it weren't for seeing Mrs. She today, she wouldn't be here!
She originally thought she could see Mo Yuzhen at the plum appreciation banquet, but she just asked the maid in the mansion.
The eldest princess is still traveling to the palace in the mountains and has not come back at all.
The purpose of this trip was in vain, but Shi Qingxue was unwilling to leave like this, so she prepared to go to Mrs. She to find out more.
Mrs. She is almost seventy years old, but she is still full of energy and looks very energetic. With proper makeup, he looks no more than forty or fifty years old.
When he saw Qingxue, a chrysanthemum blossom appeared on his wrinkled face. He waved to Qingxue and called out: "Isn't this girl Xue? I haven't seen her for so many years. She looks so slim and graceful that the old lady almost can't recognize her. is you!"
Shi Qingxue didn't remember spending much time alone with this old lady She. Originally, she just wanted to be decent on the outside.
But she didn't expect the other party to suddenly call her by her nickname so affectionately. She was stunned for a while, then raised a cute smile and went up to him, "Qingxue has met Mrs. She, and I wish you good health!"
"Good girl, no need to be polite!"
Mrs. She grabbed Shi Qingxue's little hand and smiled slyly, "I'm afraid the little girl can't remember the old lady!"
Shi Qingxue touched her nose guiltily. She really didn't expect that Mrs. She was so familiar with her.
I didn't know how to respond for a moment, so I could only smile.
Mrs. She showed an expected smile and continued: "When you were a child, when your grandfather was still alive, he often brought you here to play with Changfeng. At that time, you said that you liked Brother She the most, and you also said that when you grow up I’m going to marry Brother She as my wife!”
"ah!"
Shi Qingxue was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
Why didn't she know she had such a dark history? !
