Mo Junyang moved closer to Shi Qingxue, and the distance between the two was almost zero, "Sister Xue, are you thirsty?"
"Not thirsty." Shi Qingxue didn't notice Mo Junyang's voice slowing down, she just waved her hands and continued to look out the window.
Mo Junyang was not annoyed. Instead, he turned around and poured a glass of sour plum juice to Shi Qingxue's mouth, "This is the sour plum juice I specially left for you. Don't you love this the most? You can drink as much as you want even if you are not thirsty." Just a little!”
It's winter, so it's almost impossible to get sour plums.
Shi Qingxue subconsciously followed Mo Junyang's movements and took a sip before realizing that this was her favorite thing. She narrowed her eyes with joy and did not realize how ambiguous their current interaction was. Instead, she smiled sweetly: "Thank you. .”
Dong Hui no longer had the intention to look at the situation downstairs. Her eyes were as wide as bull's eyes and her mouth could not be closed.
It's just that one of the two parties didn't pay attention and the other didn't care. Instead, they got closer and closer.
Just when Dong Hui was about to lose his composure, someone suddenly shouted from outside: "The Shi family army has returned victorious!"
Cheers suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
Shi Qingxue looked from a distance and saw a group of neatly dressed soldiers walking in from the city gate on horseback. The leader was Shi Junhe, the Duke of the country.
"Father! Father!" Shi Qingxue hadn't seen Shi Junhe for a long time, so long that she almost thought her father would never come back.
But Shi Junhe is back!
She looked at her father in real life, just as tall and majestic as she remembered!
And her eldest brother Wen Renchi!
Shi Qingxue could not restrain her emotions and shouted in surprise on the street. Fortunately, the cheers on the street became louder and louder, and almost no one noticed what was going on in the restaurant.
Just almost.
The two men riding at the front accurately distinguished the thin and sweet call from the thousands of cheers, and at the same time looked towards the restaurant.
When his eyes touched Qingxue's excited and cheering figure, the serious corners of the two men's mouths couldn't help but soften a bit, and they waved in the direction of the restaurant.
The people below were even more delighted and shouted loudly: "Well done, General Shi! He beat away Liang's dog!"
"Little General Wenren is so handsome!"
"The Shi family army is the most powerful..."
Words of praise like this got louder and louder, moving in the direction of the army's advance.
Shi Qingxue didn't feel disappointed when she watched her father walk past her, leaving only his back.
Shi Jiajun is going to meet the emperor now. After that, her father and eldest brother will belong to her for a long time!
"Mo Junyang, let's go back home! Daddy will be back soon, and I want to pick them up at home." Shi Qingxue was filled with joy and couldn't wait to share it with Mo Junyang.
She also didn't notice that Dong Hui's original joyful expression changed color because of her words, and she looked at the two people again in surprise.
Mo Junyang responded calmly: "Of course, I'll accompany you back home. I just have something important to discuss with Duke Shi."
However, Shi Qingxue quit and pouted, "No! After daddy returns to the court, it belongs to me and my mother. You are not allowed to rob it from us!"
"Little fool." Mo Junyang felt that Shi Qingxue, who was immersed in joy, really seemed to have returned to the innocent and romantic age of fifteen or sixteen. Her thoughts were simple and childish, but it unexpectedly moved his heart.
Even though the time was wrong, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched the tip of Qingxue's nose. His voice softened unconsciously, "I won't snatch it from you, it's all yours... Me too."
Shi Qingxue was furious before she heard the words. She slapped Mo Junyang's hand away unceremoniously, covered her nose and stared, "What are you doing!" Mo Junyang was not annoyed at all, and looked at her with a smile. , his eyes did not conceal the fiery emotions in his heart.
After looking at each other for a moment, Shi Qingxue couldn't bear it and turned away, muttering angrily: "You know how to use this trick!"
"Qingxue!" Dong Hui finally couldn't help shouting, staring at them in shock.
Shi Qingxue realized that her interaction with Mo Junyang was being watched by the whole city. Dong Hui's little face suddenly became hot. She turned her head and pursed her lips at Mo Jun angrily. Then she ran to Dong Hui's side and took Dong Hui's arm, " Mom, I was just joking with Prince Mo, please don’t be angry."
Dong Hui's anger disappeared in Shi Qingxue's bright little eyes. She felt something was wrong in her heart, so she said, "Now the joke is over, let's go back first! Your father is waiting for us to go back to greet him!" "
Shi Qingxue immediately forgot about her ambiguity with Mo Junyang, and instead couldn't wait to urge Dong Hui to go back, "Then let's go quickly!"
Before Dong Hui left, she couldn't help but look back. When she met Mo Junyang's eyes again, she was startled again.
Different from the gentle gaze that Shi Qingxue had just looked at, Mo Junyang's gaze was so sharp that one look at it could make one's body shiver.
Dong Hui turned back and didn't dare to look again, and quickly caught up with Shi Qingxue.
—
The Shi family army led by Shi Junhe defeated the Liang army. Long Xin was very happy. Not only did he receive constant rewards, but he even held a grand banquet to reward them.
With such glory and splendor, not to mention the young and old of the Shi family, even the nobles in Kyoto who were used to being arrogant did not dare to offend Shi Junhe easily at this time.
So after Shi Junhe returned to Shi's house, everyone happily prepared for the family dinner, and no one brought up the matter of divorcing his wife at this juncture to harm Shi Junhe.
Shi Junhe didn't know that his wife had been wronged, but Shi Qingxue would not miss such a good opportunity to complain.
When they returned to the main house, Shi Qingxue told Shi Junhe everything that happened in the ancestral hall this afternoon.
The expression was so concise that Dong Hui was too late to stop it.
On the other hand, when Shi Baoning heard Qingxue repeating what she had said before, she felt embarrassed and embarrassed. After being stiff for a long time, she said sarcastically: "Sister, she still blames me! But my grandmother is an elder after all, so she blames me for not having the courage..."
However, this time, Shi Qingxue didn't give any face, and directly asked: "Shouldn't I be blamed?"
Shi Baoning's face turned blue and white, and he was speechless. He choked himself before he could take a breath.
After all, she was her own daughter. Even if Dong Hui was angry before, now she couldn't bear to see Shi Baoning's pitiful and helpless look.
He glanced at Qingxue complainingly, pretending to teach her a lesson, "You are the only one who can speak well. What time is it now, and you are not afraid of disturbing your father's rest?"
Shi Qingxue smiled and was not shy. She hid in her father's arms like she did when she was a child. She also stuck out her tongue at Dong Hui, "Huh! Daddy is so powerful that he is not tired! He came back specially to stand up for his mother. Am I right? Daddy!"
Shi Junhe has a Chinese-character face. He is not angry or intimidating when he is not smiling. Being in a superior position puts an invisible pressure on a person, but he cannot show off his posture towards his little daughter.
Instead, he touched Qingxue's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Yes, yes! Xue'er is so great, of course she is right!"
As soon as the words changed, he turned his gaze to Shi Baoning again. He looked at Shi Baoning until he felt uneasy and his scalp was numb before he asked in a deep voice: "Madam, is there any lie in what your sister just said?"
Shi Baoning shook his head, "No, but..."
"Did you say those words?" Shi Junhe asked again without giving her a chance to defend herself. Shi Baoning was even more at a loss and wanted to deny it, but could only nod silently under his father's burning eyes.
But she was not willing to be questioned by Shi Junhe like this, and asked in a low voice: "Did the father decide that it was his daughter's fault just based on these few words? Does he feel that his daughter has no filial piety and no redeeming qualities?"
The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and crystal tears fell down his cheeks.
However, Shi Junhe just glanced at her very lightly and smiled again, "No, you are not wrong."
The smile on Shi Baoning's face had not yet bloomed when he heard Shi Junhe say slowly: "How could you be wrong? You have been raised under the knees of your grandmother since you were a child. How can it be wrong to be closer to your grandmother?"
Shi Baoning's smile froze on his face, his blood faded completely, and he opened and closed his mouth several times without making a sound.
It was Dong Hui who couldn't bear it and took the initiative to smooth things over, "Okay, we are all a family, and our filial piety towards no one is not filial piety!"
She was afraid that Shi Junhe would really anger Shi Baoning, so she took the initiative to mention: "Wenyu, you don't know yet! Not long ago, my mother asked Baoning to be granted the title of princess. Now Baoning is also a decent person." She is truly a second-grade princess! She is a good child, and it is not unreasonable for grandma to feel more pain."
Shi Junhe's expression softened a little, and he nodded towards Shi Baoning, his eyes finally showing some pity, "Father knows you are good! You have your own considerations about today's matter, and I don't blame you. Okay. , It’s not early today, you should go back and rest early!”
Shi Baoning nodded, then turned his gaze to Qingxue, who was still in Shi Junhe's arms. He was a little envious, but also seemed melancholy, and asked in a low voice: "Luotong Pavilion and Jingshu Pavilion are very close, don't you go back together, sister?" ?”
"No, I haven't finished complaining to my father yet! I want to sleep with my parents tonight!" Shi Qingxue said confidently, as if she really wanted to hide under the quilt of her parents and complain.
Shi Guogong and his wife were angry and funny, but even Shi Junhe couldn't bear to reprimand Qingxue. He only cursed a few words symbolically: "You kid, you are already an adult and you still want to sleep with your parents. You are not shy. Look. Who dares to want you then!"
When he said this, Shi Junhe's eyes flashed and he was a little distracted, but he soon regained his composure. No one noticed his abnormal appearance, and only heard him calmly order: "Baoning, A Chi is on the northwest battlefield this time." He was injured. If you have time tomorrow, go to Jinhuaxuan to see him!"
Shi Baoning's eyes tightened and he suddenly looked at Shi Junhe. Seeing that the other person's majesty did not hide his concern, he responded with tears.
Shi Qingxue waited for Shi Baoning to go away, then buried herself in Shi Junhe's arms again, and said dullly: "Dad, I really miss you!"
When Shi Junhe suddenly heard such a sound, his heart, no matter how hard as iron, softened, and he had to tease Dong Hui: "I thought my daughter had grown up a lot after being raised by your side for a while, but now it seems that she is better than when she was a child. Are you still childish?"
Dong Hui also laughed: "How did I know? I thought my daughter was only five years old this year instead of already fifteen!"
How did these two people know that the most painful thing about Qingxue in her previous life was not that she was abolished by Mo Junhao, nor that she committed suicide by taking poison, but that her parents were killed, and she did not even see them for the last time.
Now that the opportunity has come, she cherishes it even more and does not want to miss a single cent.
Shi Qingxue was not afraid of her parents laughing at her. Instead, she grinned at them and said proudly: "I don't want to grow up in front of you! I will always be your precious daughter!"
"It's still precious! I'm really not ashamed." Shi Junhe teased a few words.
The three of them sat down around the Eight Immortals table again. Shi Junhe said seriously: "Qingxue, although you saved Hui Niang today, you were indeed a bit reckless. That's your grandmother!"
