Chapter 350 - She Is Not a Good Person (1/2)

Liang Jingxian talked to Shi Qingxue, but she looked at Ling Ruiyin.

She did that to remind the Empress Dowager about today’s task.

Ling Ruiyin came to her senses and echoed Liang Jingxian, “Qingxue, the empress is right. Go with Zixin to play with the other young ladies. Don’t need to accompany the older women like us here.”

Shi Qingxue finally confirmed that Ling Ruiyin wanted her to make friends with Liang Zixin, and apparently wanted her to take Liang Zixin to get to know the other noble ladies.

Did the Empress Dowager expect her to introduce Liang Zixin to the other noble ladies who were her friends?

Shi Qingxue was so shocked that she couldn’t speak a word.

Ling Ruiyin helped the crown prince, while Empress Liang supported her son. The two were always on bad terms.

Why did Ling Ruiyin help the Liang family this time?

Or…

A thought flashed in Shi Qingxue’s brain.

Although she was too astonished, she thought that it must be true after pondering.

Shi Qingxue stopped thinking and said obediently, “Your Majesty, since you said that, I will go to hang out with Zixin in the forest.”

“No!”

Mo Junzhan forcefully stopped Shi Qingxue again from making friends with Liang Zixin.

Before all people were confused, he pulled Shi Qingxue aside and told her “in secret”, “Don’t hang out with her. She is not a good person.”

Shi Qingxue and all the others were speechless.

The ninth prince’s voice was loud innately, and he couldn’t lower it.

He whispered to her, while the people around heard it clearly.

However, it would be better if they didn’t hear it.

Liang Jingxian turned pale immediately. She must have exploded earlier if Ling Ruiyin were absent.

Liang Zixin’s face looked terrible, yet she only raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Junzhan sadly, protesting in silence.

It seemed that she was asking herself when she had irritated the ninth prince. He embarrassed her repeatedly, which was fine, but he even said that she “was not a good person” in public.

Such a comment was too harsh.

Shi Qingxue was involved and felt more awkward.

She cursed secretly, “His Highness was stubborn and would say anything that he wanted, never considering others’ feelings in the past, but he is still like this after growing up.

“Isn’t he afraid that he will offend others?”

Er…

Although Mo Junzhan’s biological mother Concubine Tao wasn’t the most favored imperial concubine, she was titled anyway and her parents’ family was powerful. Moreover, she was an old hand in the imperial harem system with a stable position.

The ninth prince was Mo Xiangbin’s youngest son. Although he wasn’t the most loved, the youngest son would enjoy preferential treatment.

In addition, it was almost impossible for him to fight for the title of heir to the throne, so he could act willfully without a hitch in the imperial palace.

While thinking, Shi Qingxue was clearer that Mo Junzhan wasn’t afraid of offending anybody.

He would say whatever he wanted even in front of the empress’s family.

However, Shi Qingxue was miserable. She had to make Mo Junzhan’s words reasonable without hurting his feelings.

“Your Highness,” Shi Qingxue called gently.

Mo Junzhan turned to her at once.

She continued with a smile, “Zixin is lovely and so beautiful. Will you forbid me to make friends with a beauty?”

“Ah?” Mo Junzhan looked at Shi Qingxue in a daze.

He didn’t know why she said that all of a sudden.

However, Liang Zixin was gorgeous indeed. Even though Mo Junzhan had a prejudice against her, he had to admit that her beauty was among the best.

If Shi Qingxue wanted to have contact with Liang Zixin because of this, it seemed that she could do that.

The ninth prince never knew that people shouldn’t judge others solely by their appearance. He just looked at Liang Zixin and made a hard decision. “Fine. She is really beautiful. You can hang out with her.”

Perhaps any woman was happy to hear a man praise her beauty, and Liang Zixin was no exception.

She had been hurt by Mo Junzhan’s words “she is not a good person” and felt grieved, but she was healed at once.

She just lowered her head with shyness and didn’t dare to look at Mo Junzhan.

Seeing that a storm was smothered temporarily, Shi Qingxue heaved a sigh of relief and didn’t want to talk with Mo Junzhan anymore. Who knew what shocking words this kid would say all of a sudden?

She didn’t have the ability to explain for him every time.

“Well, I will have a walk with Zixin. Your Highness, since you came to visit your grandma, just chat with her.”

Mo Junzhan came to Moon Mountain as soon as he returned to the capital city, and it was obvious that he came to see Shi Qingxue, but since she said that, he wouldn’t retort her no matter how stupid he was.

He had to answer obediently with a nod, “Okay. Come back soon. I have a lot of words to tell you.”

The ninth prince was forced to agree, yet he looked at Shi Qingxue, with reluctance in his eyes as he was unwilling to part with her.

Ling Ruiyin glanced at the two receding figures and then couldn’t help looking Mo Junzhan up and down, teasing him, “Junzhan, I know that you came to Moon Mountain from afar not to see me but your friend Qingxue, right?”

Mo Junzhan felt embarrassed as he was seen through.

He scratched the back side of his head subconsciously yet then realized that his action was to expose himself unwittingly while trying to cover up his tricks, so he withdrew his hand quickly.
