Chapter 43 - Blind Imitation With Ludicrous Effect (1/2)

On the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the family and the country gathered and celebrated together, and Emperor set a palace banquet, inviting the officials with their families.

Shi Junhe was still fighting in the northwest, and on behalf of the Shi Family, Mo Shujun took the big family to take part in the banquet.

Shi Qingxue didn’t want to go. She planned to pretend to be sick, but was persuaded by Shi Baoning and had to go at last.

“How honorable it is for Emperor has invited us to the palace banquet! But Qingxue looks like that she is not going to a joyful banquet but a funeral instead.” Shi Baojin suddenly snorted, taunt spilling out from her words.

These days, Shi Baojin seemed to have taking gunpowder, and she fired with her words whenever she was unhappy. She didn’t talk in a devious way like before, but said anything rude straightforward. Of course, Shi Qingxue was the worst affected.

Others might not know why Shi Baojin suddenly became like this, but Shi Qingxue could guess why Shi Baojin was in a bad mood and didn’t bother to quarrel with her.

She pulled Shi Baoning and sat down on the other side of the carriage, apparently showing that even though she didn’t want to argue her, she could still hide from her?

Shi Baojin was not satisfied with her victory, and she wanted to follow her up after getting off the carriage.

But Mo Shujun snorted coldly, “Third Lady, isn’t there enough trouble you causes at home? What is this place? Is it where you can be noisy?”

Shi Baojin had no choice but to shut up and glared at Qingxue unwillingly, full of resentment.

Shi Qingxue was so doubtful when she was glared at, thinking, “What had I done to bother you? Why did you glare at me? Psychopath!”

But they had arrived, and before she thought more about it, those people who greeted them had already arrived.

“Great-aunt, my father orders me to wait here for a long time. Please get off the carriage.” A clear male voice sounded, and the sight of all the madams and ladies fell on Shi Qingxue.

Shi Baochun, the Seventh Lady of the Shi Family, who had good relationship with Qingxue, pushed Qingxue with her elbow, and smiled jokingly, “Qingxue, it’s Fourth Prince!”

Shi Qingxue calmly looked back and said indifferently, “Does it have anything to do with me?”

“Isn’t it your Brother Hao?” Shi Baochun laughed more happily, and spoke rudely.

If it was in the past, Shi Qingxue must have flushed her face, and talked to Mo Junhao with shyness.

But at this moment, she just looked at Shi Baochun nonchalantly until the smile on her face stiff, and then she smiled slightly, “It’s not proper to gossip about prince. Be careful that grandmother would punish you!”

The slender forefinger gently touched her lips and made a motion as a sign of shutting up, then she followed Mo Shujun off the carriage.

Mo Junhao saw Shi Qingxue, and his eyes lit up. He quickly greeted her, and called her softly, ” Xue, you are also here.”

Was that nonsense? She was standing right here.

Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes secretly. If it wasn’t for the etiquette, she could just walk away.

She reluctantly bowed, “Your Highness. If there is nothing else, then I don’t disturb Your Highness.”

After that, she didn’t give Mo Junhao time to talk, and grabbed Shi Baoning following behind Mo Shujun.

Mo Junhao didn’t have time to spread his love, but could only look at Shi Qingxue’s back silently.

What was happening?

He eagerly tried his best to ask for this job from Emperor, planning to talk and build a closer relationship with Shi Qingxue, whom he hadn’t seen for many days. But he was left out just like this?

It didn’t go as he had planned!

“Your Highness, why are you here?” As soon as Qin Yanyan, the Fifth Lady of the Qin Family got off the carriage, she saw Mo Junhao standing in front of the gate, and suddenly became overjoyed and ran to him.

She thought that the one she liked came to pick her up. It didn’t need to mention how joyful Qin Yanyan was in her heart. She smiled and grabbed Mo Junhao’s sleeve and swayed it slightly. She said with shyness, “I haven’t seen Your Highness for several days, and I miss Your Highness so much. Why doesn’t Your Highness come to the house and find my brother any more?”

Qin Yanyan, the youngest daughter of Left Prime Minister Qin, was also his only daughter. She was spoiled by the whole family and had developed a petulant and selfish character. And she was in conflict with Shi Qingxue when she was young.

Although Prime Minister Qin also secretly showed his loyalty to Mo Junhao, compared to him, Mo Junhao obviously preferred the military power of Duke Shi. And when he was facing the two daughters from the two families, he surely preferred Qingxue.

He just smiled at Qin Yanyan in a perfunctory manner, “Recent schoolwork has been heavier these days, and father asks me to learn to deal with the court earlier. If there is any neglect, please don’t mind it.”

Of course Qin Yanyan waved her hands to say no. She also held her red face, coquettishly, “Brother didn’t say anything. It’s just that I miss Your Highness!”

After saying this, Qin Yanyan seemed to realize that she was being too bold and ran back to hide behind her mother.

Mo Junhao just showed a kind smile to Mr. and Mrs. Qin, but disliked Qin Yanyan in his heart. What was her? Did she think that she pretended to be shy and then could seduce him? It was indeed blind imitation with ludicrous effect. Shameful!

Of course, he knew that Qin Yanyan’s behavior was all learned from Shi Qingxue. But she was pretentious. There was nothing like Qingxue’s natural charm, let alone Qingxue’s unique brightness.

However, out of respect for the Qin Family, he should coax her, and kept her on his side with a position of Side Concubine in the future. But it might be not easy to explain to Shi Qingxue.

Mo Junhao didn’t realize that the little girl who had been chasing after her and calling him Brother Hao had already figured out what he really was like. But he still dreamed of marrying them both!
