Shi Baoning grabbed Shi Qingxue to sit down in the room. Her face blushed, and she seemed a little embarrassed. After a while, she whispered, “Isn’t it Qiqiao Festival a few days later?”
Shi Qingxue nodded, and her look became even more confused. Why was the annual Qiqiao Festival worth of Shi Baoning’s worries?
“In the past, I was not in a good health. Basically, Grandma wouldn’t allow me to attend any banquets. But this year, I feel much better, and Empress Dowager has sent the fancy stationery. So I think...” Shi Baoning hesitated, and was embarrassed to continue to say.
After all, no one could believe that Shi Baoning, the eldest daughter of Duke Shi, had never attended any banquet and needed to prepare much for a banquet.
Unfortunately, Shi Baoning really asked the wrong person in this matter.
Although Shi Qingxue understood, she was still confused. She asked, “It was just a banquet on Qiqiao Festival. It will be
Empress Dowager, Ling Ruiyin heard Shi Qingxue’s words, and the kind smile on her face faded a little.Looking at Shi Baoning, who had been sitting quietly, although she looked not as energetic and cute as Shi Qingxue, the elegance showed on her could also be outstanding among those noble ladies in aristocratic families.She was indeed the granddaughter raised by Mo Shujun herself!Ling Ruiyin nodded secretly and glanced at Qingxue again. Seeing that big wet eyes filled with sincere expectations, she couldn’t bear to refuse her. She called Shi Baoning with a smile, “Is First Lady of the Shi Family also here? I always hear Princess Royal mention you. But I barely meet you since you were always in poor health.Come to me and let me take a closer look. What’s so outstanding that makes Xue so jealous?”These words really made the noble ladies sitting below extremely jealous!It was a great honor for a noble la
Shi Qingxue looked at Jing Yi in surprise, “Isn’t my sister still painting in her seat just now? How could the painting be missing?”But Jing Yi was so anxious that she couldn’t even explain what had happened. Shi Qingxue could only follow her to find Shi Baoning. Shi Baoning was seen sitting at the table upset, and her eyes were red, as if she had cried.“Baoning, what’s going on?” Shi Qingxue glanced at the drawing table. There were only used brush and ink on it, but the painting was missing.When Shi Baoning saw Qingxue, her pale face suddenly looked excited. She grabbed Qingxue’s hand as if she had seen the last straw, and hurriedly said, “I was painting here just now. A pillar of joss sticks of time ago, I finished “Affection”. But when I turned around to chat with Third Lady and the others, the painting was gone. What should I do now?”“What did Shi Baojin say to you?” Shi Qingxue keenly captured the key of the problem. She i
Mammy Chang had expected that someone couldn’t hold her breath and responded slowly, “Lady Chen, no need to hurry. Her Majesty said that Sixth Lady was the invigilator of this competition, she should announce the first place.”“What?” Shi Qingxue blinked her big eyes. She didn’t expect that an invigilator could get such a benefit.In the envious eyes of everyone, Shi Qingxue took the imperial decree cheerfully and opened it, but then she was stunned.After a few moments, she calmly read, “The first place is Shi Baoning’s ‘Missing You’.”“Impossible!” As soon as Shi Qingxue read the name, Chen Xiujiao retorted with angry instantly.She glazed and didn’t believe that Shi Baoning would win the first place, “She lost her painting. How could she win the first place? You must make a fake declaration!”Shi Qingxue silently gave Chen Xiujiao a glance, and rolled her eyes. She didn’t bother to care about her envy,
Seeing Shi Qingxue’s indifferent expression, Shi Baojin also knew that obviously she didn’t have such an important status in her heart.She had to look to Shi Baoning for help: Baoning, if my virtue was ruined in front of Empress Dowager, did you think that you would get any benefits from this?“Qingxue, wait a minute.” Shi Baoning called Shi Qingxue.She frowned and whispered, “It’s the palace banquet right now. All the noble people are here. We should not mind others’ business.”Shi Qingxue, “...”She was going to be mad. Who was minding others’ business?It wasn’t them who had stolen the paintings, and it wasn’t them who had started the irony first. How were they minding others’ business?Shi Baoning’s attitude which showed that she just wanted to let go of this made Shi Qingxue angry and speechless. She simply didn’t want to take care of the matter anymore, and went aside to chat with Mo Y
Crown Prince Mo Junyu was the future Emperor of the Mo Dynasty. If she married to him as his wife, she was really fortunate, just like a bird flew up to the branches and suddenly became a phoenix!Hearing that, Mo Shujun’s pupils suddenly were constricted, and she became speechless for a long while.She did not expect that Empress Dowager would put Shi Qingxue in such a high position. It was really...No!Suddenly Mo Shujun felt surprised, and remembered one thing that Ling Ruiyin was also from the family of Crown Prince’s mother. According to the genealogical tree, she was Mo Junyu’s great-aunt.Maybe what Ling Ruiyin fancied was not simply Shi Qingxue, the powerful Shi Family was the key point!Mo Shujun took back her smile, and said helplessly, “Ruiyin, you must be kidding! If any prince is fond of Qingxue, it should be her fortune. How could she be picky?”“So you agree?” Ling Ruiyin was p
Mo Yuzhen showed a distressed look, and after a long time, she said helplessly, "Of course I totally support that you should chase your love, but..."She paused for a moment, seemingly a little difficult to say it."But I am the daughter of Empress after all. If you really become the Fourth Princess Consort, we will belong to two parties. Even if I want to keep the good relationship with you, for your sake, it is necessary to avoid others' suspects."Otherwise, when Fourth Prince's party saw that the Fourth Princess Consort was still in contact with Third Princess, it was hard to guarantee that Shi Qingxue would not be punished for this.Shi Qingxue never thought of these things, and she was a little astonished.Therefore, it wasn't because Mo Yuzhen didn't like her choice that she had been alienated from her in the previous life, but because she was afraid that Shi Qingxue would go through a hard time in her husband's
Qu Yuebai pushed the door and walked into the room. He met two pairs of cold eyes, especially those of his master's, as if he was about to swallow him.He touched his nose in guilty conscience, and stepped forward with the chill at his back, and reported, "Master, I found Princess Yuzhen just now in a room, and she was about to whip Mr. She. I failed to persuade her, and Princess insisted on hitting him. Then Xiangyue stopped her, and now Princess is resting next door."Shi Qingxue didn't find out the difference between persuading and stopping, and she asked curiously, "What did you tell her? She was actually willing to rest next door?"She couldn't even move. Even though she was unwilling, it would be useless!Qu Yuebai took back the words, and only said, "Mr. She was frightened, and Xiangyue was accompanying him to rest in the private room. Master, I'm afraid that today you..."Thinking that Shi Qingxue was still in
Xiangyue reluctantly sat down, facing She Changfeng with one side, and gave him a charming and seductive smile, "Why are you being so ignorant? There are only two of us here, and no one will know anything. Why do you have to do this?"She Changfeng's expression was serious, and said in a deep voice, "God knows. Earth knows. You know, and I know. How is it possible that nobody knows it? Moreover, it is the duty of us scholars to keep our original intentions. How can I do anything profligate as long as no one will know it?Fine, we have different paths to go. It's me who have bothered you today. Farewell!"After that, She Changfeng left without looking back, leaving Xiangyue alone astonished in the room.After a long while, she suddenly turned her head around, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, and she looked at the peeking hole with a seeming smile.Mo Yuzhen was so embarrassed that her face became
