Chapter 316 - Admit Her Fault (1/2)

Mo Junyang knew what Shi Qingxue was thinking about. He rubbed her nose and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. No matter how much Qi Ruyue is like King Rui’s late wife, she is just an imitation, and he won’t make her his wife.”

Shi Qingxue pouted. “But your father changes his attitude too quickly, and others can’t see through him.”

“It doesn’t matter…” Mo Junyang told Shi Qingxue what had happened in his mansion just now.

Shi Qingxue was stunned after hearing that and then couldn’t help but get happy. “Is your younger brother stupid? He just came to your mansion only a few days ago. Even though King Rui treats him specially, he is just an illegitimate son. However, he intends to shake your position and fight for your father’s love unexpectedly…”

If Qi Zhengdao was smarter, he should know his position, love his father and respect his elder brother, trying to make a favorable impression on them. Even if he was stupid, he should behave himself and obediently follow his father’s and brother’s orders.

After all, Mo Junyang had revealed his attitude, and Mo Xiangrui’s intention was obvious.

Then Qi Zhengdao’s good life could be expected soon.

However, this teenager was not smart enough but pretended to be smart and gilded the lily, attempting to be a whistle blower, while he made a fool of himself.

He just became a laughingstock for no reason.

Mo Junyang sneered and commented, “It’s good to be scheming, while perhaps Qi Zhengdao needs to toughen himself. However, it’s Father’s business anyway, and we don’t need to bother about it too much.”

Shi Qingxue tilted her head and pondered for a while. Seeing that Mo Junyang didn’t take Qi Zhengdao to heart, she nodded. “Okay. Let’s forget him.”

They clung to each other and chatted in low voices.

The carriage entered the imperial palace slowly.

After they got out of the carriage and walked for only a few steps, the eunuch Quan who worked for the emperor walked toward them in haste. “Your Excellency, My Lady.”

“Lord Quan, nice to see you. Why are you waiting here? Is there something important?” Shi Qingxue asked.

Quan looked at Mo Junyang in embarrassment and opened his mouth, trying to say something, yet he stuttered and couldn’t speak a word.

“Say it.” Mo Junyang was in a good mood today, so he ordered Quan without delay.

Quan replied hurriedly, “His Majesty has told me to wait here earlier and bring you to the study to see him after you enter the imperial palace, Your Excellency.”

Mo Xiangbin stopped them off guard, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

“Did His Majesty say what was the matter?” Mo Junyang asked casually and didn’t plan to go.

Quan moaned secretly after seeing that and thought, “His Excellency is too arrogant. Others will rush to see His Majesty once they are summoned, as they are afraid that they will make His Majesty unhappy if they go there slowly.”

Only Mo Junyang looked calm and didn’t even want to go seemingly.

What was going on?

“Your Excellency, His Majesty summoned you, so there must be something urgent. Please come with me quickly and don’t keep His Majesty waiting for long.” Quan begged yet didn’t have the nerve to pull Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang couldn’t feel Quan’s thought for him. He just stood there indifferently and stared at Quan.

Shi Qingxue knew that it was not that Mo Junyang didn’t show respect to Mo Xiangbin, but they had just agreed that they would stay together at the banquet.

Mo Xiangbin tried to separate them, and it would be surprising if Mo Junyang was willing to surrender easily.

Qingxue pondered for a moment and glanced at Quan apologetically. Then she pulled Mo Junyang aside and advised him in a low voice, “You have said that it’s an eventful period now. If you disobey His Majesty’s order openly, won’t you give others a chance to comment on you?”

While speaking, she squinted at Mo Junyang’s face. Seeing that he seemed to be unhappy, she added at once, “It’s okay with me when I am alone. Don’t worry about me too much. Moreover, if you tell Zichao to follow me, what will you worry about?”

Shi Qingxue said a lot and considered many aspects, but she didn’t guess Mo Junyang’s thought deep in his heart. He didn’t want to part with her.

Every year and month, every day and night, at any time…

However, Mo Junyang was always good at concealing his emotions. Even though he had feelings, he wouldn’t show them when he didn’t want to.

After Qingxue said that, he nodded gently and answered, “I will tell Zichao to stay with you. If there is something, just tell somebody to see me.”

“Okay. Go now.”

Before they came to the banquet, they had to get parted.

Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang going away, while the relief she showed intentionally disappeared gradually, and it was replaced with a reserved emotion.

She stood there quietly and furrowed her arched eyebrows, looking serious.

“My Lady, what’s wrong with you?” Dong Shuang didn’t know why, so she asked in secret.

Shi Qingxue shook her head and didn’t explain but replied, “Nothing. Let’s go.”

Even she hadn’t figured out something, so she wouldn’t speak it out rashly.

As soon as Shi Qingxue entered the imperial garden where the banquet was held, followed by a group of people, a maid-in-waiting walked to her and bowed, greeting, “My Lady, nice to see you. Her Highness told me to say hello to you.”

Qingxue returned a bow. “Thank Her Highness for her concern. I am very well. Please say hello to her for me.”

There was such a rule in the Mo Dynasty.
