For the first time, Mo Junyang felt that all his willpower was gone, and the temptation of her red and sweet mouth was in right in front of him.
He didn't hold it back. He opened his thin lips slightly, kept the little soft lips in his mouth, and then slightly licked...
"Hmm!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue shouted in shock, but her voice was swallowed by Mo Junyang, and only a low moan was heard.
She trembled, pushed Mo Junyang hurriedly in shock, and raised her hands subconsciously to wipe her wet lips.
But the more she wiped her lips, the hotter her face became, especially when Mo Junyang still looked at her with firm eyes. She was even more annoyed and couldn't help but yell at him angrily, "Mo Junyang, why are you here?"
Mo Junyang reached out his slender fingers against his thin lips, and stared at s.h.i.+ Qingxue with his fiery eyes, as if he were still kissing s.h.i.+ Qingxue.
"Mo Junyang!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue was even angrier, and growled, "I have said before that you are not allowed to look at me like that!"
Mo Junyang smiled, "Forbid me to look at you like what?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue's cheeks were crimson, and her eyes fluttered because she didn't dare to look at Mo Junyang, and stuttered to reply, "Like... I won't say, but you are not allowed to look at me like that anyway! Or I will be angry!"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue released the most severe threat she could think of!
"Oh!" Mo Junyang responded faintly, then raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What will happen when you are angry?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue, "..."
She opened up her eyes in surprise and stared straight at Mo Junyang, as if she had never seen him before.
When did King Rui's eldest son, who was always cold and dreary, actually learn to be so shameless?
This made no sense!
s.h.i.+ Qingxue felt that after half a month they hadn't met, Mo Junyang seemed to have become another person, making her unable to cope.
What should she do?
Fortunately, Mo Junyang knew that going too far was as bad as not going far enough, and he didn't force s.h.i.+ Qingxue any more. Instead, he took one step back and said gently, "Don't be angry. The wedding banquet is about to start. Why don't you go inside?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue then remembered that they all came to Mo Yuzhen's wedding banquet, and Mo Yuzhen asked her to accompany her in her wedding room a while ago!
"Oops! This time Yuzhen should be mad at me!" s.h.i.+ Qingxue shouted anxiously and was about to go inside.
But Mo Junyang grabbed her first and asked seriously, "The banquet is in the backyard. This is the way to welcome the bride. Where are you going?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue said quickly, "Now the bride has entered the wedding room, and it should be okay if I go in this way, shouldn't it? Yuzhen asked me to go to the wedding room to accompany her. If I enter from the main entrance, there must be a group of boring people talking to me and then I don't have chance to get away!"
"You are not married. Now you go to the wedding room. Won't they gossip about you?" Mo Junyang pointed it out seriously.
Of course he would not admit that it was because he was upset that Qingxue regarded Mo Yuzhen as such an important person.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue frowned and looked helpless, "Yuzhen only has such a small wish. Isn't it bad if I let her down?"
Hum! Since she wanted to bring her best friend into the wedding room, this princess was not ordinarily greedy.
Mo Junyang frowned, but did not stop her, because he knew why s.h.i.+ Qingxue cared so much about the friends.h.i.+p with Mo Yuzhen currently.
He only said, "That being the case, let me go with you!"
"How is it appropriate?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue answered subconsciously.
Mo Junyang glanced at her, and then said, "So what will it be like if you go to the wedding room alone?"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue was speechless again and froze for a long time. But the thought of visiting Mo Yuzhen persuaded her and she nodded with agreement, "Then how do we go inside?"
"...You come with me." Mo Junyang paused for a moment before speaking. In order to conceal the surprise in his heart, he went first.
To be honest, he didn't expect that s.h.i.+ Qingxue actually would agree to go with him, even if he asked for it. If it were the previous s.h.i.+ Qingxue, she would probably reject him categorically and sent him off by saying indifferently that he had nothing to do with her.
Reminded of the unexpected kiss between the two of them, Mo Junyang couldn't help but smile.
s.h.i.+ Qingxue followed Mo Junyang around for seven or eight laps in the house, they actually didn't meet anyone. They stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
Because Qiao Ling, the servant beside Mo Yuzhen, ran out of it. When she saw Qingxue, she said, "Sixth Lady, Princess said that it was not appropriate for you to meet her right now. She didn't think it carefully before. Please don't mind it!"
"Did Yuzhen really say that?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked at Qiao Ling in surprise, and felt it very strange.
It was clear that Mo Yuzhen had told her last night to stay with her today. And she had arrived here, but Mo Yuzhen suddenly realized that she should not be here?
Mo Junyang didn't give her time for reflection, and said to Qiao Ling, "Then we shall leave first."
After that, he grabbed s.h.i.+ Qingxue and went to another road.
"Mo Junyang, where are you taking me?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue followed him up.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and seeing that Mo Junyang's pace didn't slow down, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so familiar with here?"
It was the same just a moment ago that he was able to avoid everyone and go straight to the main room. s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't believe that it was just a coincidence.
Mo Junyang stopped and turned to take a deep look at Qingxue before answering, "The House of Princess's Husband was designed and supervised by the Ministry of Rite, and the a.s.sistant Minister of Ministry of Rite, w.a.n.g Quan, was on Crown Prince's side."
s.h.i.+ Qingxue, "...Why did you tell me this?"
Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would tell her everything just because of her question, even including the range of force of the Crown Prince's party.
She didn't believe the Crown Prince's party had been so arrogant. On the contrary, among all of the princes' parties, Mo Junyu's force was the weakest, he was also the one who should be protected cautiously.
But Mo Junyang did not hide anything from her, who was an outsider.
Mo Junyang said indifferently, "Didn't you ask me to tell you?"
"...But, but I didn't expect you to...tell me all of it."
The meaning behind this, even though s.h.i.+ Qingxue was just a girl, she knew well how much this trust meant, so that she had no idea how to deal with Mo Junyang who gave her this trust.
After hesitating for a long time, she said, "I won't tell anyone."
Mo Junyang couldn't help laughing. He really laughed, and his eyes were full of joy. Unfortunately, s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't notice it since she lowered her head, but she still heard the man's gentle voice, "Thank you."
The two were speechless for a while, and then Mo Junyang said, "Let's go to the banquet!"
At the banquet, guests were diverse, and all the princes and princesses in capital city arrived, even Emperor and Empress sent people to congratulate.
As soon as s.h.i.+ Qingxue entered the banquet, s.h.i.+ Baochun, Seventh Lady, hurried over to grab her and smiled, "Qingxue, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Why are you looking for me?"
s.h.i.+ Baochun glanced at Mo Junyang secretly and stopped talking.
As if he hadn't seen it, Mo Junyang smiled at s.h.i.+ Qingxue and then walked away, leaving the s.p.a.ce for the sisters.
s.h.i.+ Baochun whispered, "Third Madam found that you were missing just now and sent someone to look for you, as if she was afraid that others didn't know that you were absent."
s.h.i.+ Baochun was the daughter given birth by a concubine of Third Master, s.h.i.+ Juncai. Her birth mother didn't live long, so she was brought up by Zhou Ruyu since she was young. But Zhou Ruyu had already had two baby daughters, and how would she pay attention to such a daughter who only cost her money?
Even though there was little difference between daughters' ident.i.ties in the s.h.i.+ Family and all the manners were specially taught to everyone, s.h.i.+ Baochun was ignored by Zhou Ruyu, and she learned the candid personality of a general's aristocratic family so well, but was lack of awareness of what a n.o.ble lady should be like.
It was because that s.h.i.+ Baochun really wasn't scheming that Qingxue had a good relations.h.i.+p with her. In her previous life, they were the sisters who had the best relations.h.i.+p among all those of the s.h.i.+ Family. Unexpectedly...
Thinking of those things in the past and looking at s.h.i.+ Baochun's caring expression, Qingxue didn't know how to face s.h.i.+ Baochun for a time being.
She smiled reluctantly, "It doesn't matter. I told grandmother before I came to the palace that Yuzhen asked me to do something for her and I would come later."
s.h.i.+ Baochun patted her chest and was relieved, "That would be fine!"
After a pause, she asked again, "Qingxue, you used to call grandmother by grandma. Why did you just say grandmother?"
s.h.i.+ Baochun's unintentional words shocked Qingxue, and she could not answer for a long time.
Then Baochun laughed again, "I just asked casually, what's the matter with you? Grandmother is also okay! I just heard Third Madam criticize Third Lady that grandmother emphasized the manners most and she would be unhappy if she were called grandma!"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue certainly knew that Mo Shujun liked a dignified lady who obeyed the rules, but she was raised next to the deceased Duke and was the closest to her grandparents, so there supposed to be difference.
At least she thought so when she died in the previous life.
She pursed her lips and did not answer, but asked, "Where is my mother?"
s.h.i.+ Baochun smiled and pointed to the front, "Today your two uncles are here too, and First Madam is probably chatting with them."
"Uncles are here too?" s.h.i.+ Qingxue frowned, looking to the direction where s.h.i.+ Baochun pointed. Sure enough, she saw her two uncles bring the big family eating and drinking at the end of the guest table, they seemed very noisy and messy.
She thought about it and pushed s.h.i.+ Baochun back and said, "You go back first. I'll go and see my uncles there."
s.h.i.+ Baochun understood the situation of the two uncles from the Dong Family. Hearing that, she hurriedly pulled Qingxue, and persuaded her in a low voice, "Qingxue, you are well aware of your two uncles..."
Probably she didn't have any good words next, then s.h.i.+ Baochun changed the topic and said, "They are eating and drinking well now. If you disturb them now, there may be something wrong! You might as well wait for them to be full and drunk and then ask someone to send them away, wouldn't it be nice?"
"But my mother is still over there! I worry about her..." s.h.i.+ Qingxue was not afraid of conflict between the two uncles, but she was worried that Dong Hui would be wronged in front of the two brothers who had different birth mother with hers.
s.h.i.+ Baochun laughed, "First Madam is their sister, even if they cause great trouble, they won't dare to disrespect their sister. Otherwise, they should be unreasonable. But you are different. You are a junior. Even if they are in drunken brawls, it's not your turn to deal with it!"
She took Qingxue's hand and walked backwards, and said toughly, "Qingxue, it won't be wrong if you listen to me. Just go back with me first!"
s.h.i.+ Qingxue still didn't feel it proper. Her two uncles regarded alcohol as their lives, and they were not educated strictly by her maternal grandmother and formed rogue characters. It was uncertain what trouble they might cause.
But Zhou Ruyu came over this time, smiling at s.h.i.+ Qingxue, "Qingxue, you are finally here. Your grandmother has been looking for you for a long time. If you don't go there, she would be anxious."
Mo Shujun called on her, and s.h.i.+ Qingxue had to let go of this matter first.
But she didn't expect that by putting this off, she missed the best opportunity and almost watched her mother be subjugated forever.
