Chapter 349 - Shi Qingxue Is Forced” to Make a Friend (1/2)
Liang Jingxian saw that Shi Qingxue and Liang Zixin talked happily like friends who loved each other deeply.
She was happy, but the sudden word “no” ruined her plan.
It pissed off Empress Liang.
Liang Jingxian glared at the voice source and wanted to rebuke this meddlesome b**tard.
A teenage boy who was almost two meters tall strode over with his head high and chest out.
He looked proud with manliness, like Mars falling from the sky. People felt oppressive yet couldn’t look away from him.
However, the oppressive feeling couldn’t last too long because this teenager looked young, only fourteen or fifteen years old. Even though he was tall and big, it could be seen at a glance that he was just a kid.
Ling Ruiyin saw the comer first and looked joyful. Then she asked with a smile, “Junzhan, why are you back?”
This teenager was born to Concubine Tao, the ninth prince Mo Junzhan.
He was only fifteen years old, but he went to the battlefield with the army. He was brave and battlewise and deserved his name given by Mo Xiangbin.
Logically, Mo Junzhan was supposed to guard the southern border with the army. Why did he come back so soon?
After all, Mo Junzhan was a kid. Although he looked dignified in his military uniform like a general, when Ling Ruiyin called him, the momentum on him disappeared, and he just looked naive and ignorant like a teenager.
The teenager showed a shy smile and moved closer to Ling Ruiyin, greeting, “Grandma, nice to see you.”
“Get up, now!” Ling Ruiyin helped the teenager up in person and looked him up and down carefully.
She praised with satisfaction, “You have been away from home for so long. As expected, you have become stronger.
“But why did your voice become…”
So unpleasant to hear?
It was as hoarse as a drake’s voice.
So when Mo Junzhan said “no”, nobody knew who was speaking.
Mo Junzhan didn’t care that his voice became unpleasant to hear but puffed out his chest with pride. “Grandma, it means that I have grown up. You should be happy.”
When a teenager became a young man, there would be such a change.
Mo Junzhan was a man, so he naturally didn’t mind his voice change.
Even in his opinion, a man’s voice should be husky, and his previous sweet voice was feminine, which made him unlike a man in the past.
There was a young man’s heroic spirit in this teenager’s brows indistinctly, yet he still behaved like a child while he didn’t notice it.
It amused Ling Ruiyin. “Yes, yes. I am so happy that my grandson Junzhan has grown up.
“Come on. Tell me if something interesting happened when you were guarding the southern border.”
Perhaps Ling Ruiyin really liked this little grandson. As soon as she saw him, she forgot everything and asked Mo Junzhan many questions, leaving the others aside.
As a result, Liang Jingxian was anxious.
She winked at Ling Ruiyin repeatedly yet there was no response, so she had to bite the bullet and interrupt, “Prince Junzhan, didn’t His Majesty tell you to guard the southern border? Why did you come back all of a sudden and happen to be just in time for the spring outing picnic?”
Gee, it was a capital crime to disobey the emperor and flee from the battlefield.
Liang Jingxian didn’t make it clear, while none of the people present was an idiot, so they understood her hidden meaning.
Ling Ruiyin’s smile faded at once. She had suspected it just now, but she thought that her grandson’s return in safety was more important, so she didn’t care.
Unexpectedly, Liang Jingxian mentioned it.
Mo Junzhan didn’t look scared but smiled at Liang Jingxian with provocation. “The common people at the southern border live and work in peace now, so the other nationalities don’t dare to intrude, and General is guarding there. I have nothing to do.
“Grandma, I missed Father and you very much and thought of the saying that people shouldn’t travel far away from their parents, so I asked Father to let me return to the imperial palace for now. I will go back to the battlefield and kill the enemies if there is a war someday.”
His words retorted Liang Jingxian who tried to make trouble.
Ling Ruiyin was moved a lot and stated, “You deserve to be my good grandson. You are so considerate.”
“Huh, you are good at acting,” Liang Jingxian cursed in secret.
Because Ling Ruiyin was present, Liang Jingxian didn’t dare to curse in a loud voice but had to smile at Mo Junzhan flatteringly. “Prince Junzhan, you really respect your elders, but…”
Liang Jingxian paused for a moment and then changed the subject. “But you shouldn’t arbitrarily stop others making friends, right?”
She went back to the previous subject as Mo Junzhan said “no”.
Ling Ruiyin also looked at Mo Junzhan in doubt. “Junzhan, why did you say no?”
Logically, Mo Junzhan had never seen Liang Zixin. Why did he cut in without permission?
It was not his style.
Normally, nobody would do something like this.
When Mo Junzhan was questioned, he looked serious and turned his head to look Liang Zixin up and down.
Noticing Mo Junzhan’s stare, Liang Zixin smiled gently and bowed. “Your Highness…”
