Shi Qingxue was confused and wanted to talk with somebody, yet she found that Mo Junyang was busy these days and hadn’t been to the Lanxun Villa for a period.
Even though she had a lot of questions, she couldn’t talk with anybody.
As soon as she had this thought, she couldn’t help but disdain herself.
She and Mo Junyang would do their own jobs when they were busy, and it was normal that they didn’t see each other.
In the past, she didn’t think that there was nothing wrong, but as she hadn’t seen him for many days suddenly, she was uncomfortable and had a feeling of loss.
“Gee, I am really spoilt.”
Shi Qingxue pouted with displeasure.
Even she couldn’t tell whether she was unhappy with Mo Junyang or herself.
Mo Junyang was not here, nor did she want to talk with somebody else, so she put everything aside in the end.
She would play to the score.
When it happened, she would have a solution.
“But what should you do, little thing?” Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Qingmin sleeping soundly in the small bed and showed a bitter smile helplessly.
Till now, the little baby would refuse to eat anything unless she fed him.
The spring outing picnic would cost her half a day at least. Shi Qingmin couldn’t live without eating anything for half a day, right?
However, it was unrealistic to bring the baby to the spring outing picnic.
“I don’t know what I should do to you? Did I spoil you?”
Shi Qingxue pinched Shi Qingmin’s little nose gently and sighed with emotion helplessly.
It was her first time to take care of a baby, and she couldn’t control it well. She just wanted to give the best things to him.
Moreover, Shi Qingmin had suffered a lot since he was born, so she couldn’t bear to let him suffer more.
Shi Qingxue pondered for a while yet couldn’t figure out a way. In the end, she was defeated as she was soft-hearted.
On the day of the spring outing picnic, she fed Shi Qingmin sugar water before she set out, and then she asked Shen Luo and the wet nurse to bring the baby to Moon Mountain.
Of course, she wasn’t muddle-headed. She told them to wait in the carriage, and she would check the time and find a way to go away sneakily from the picnic.
As soon as Shi Qingxue got out of the carriage, a maid sent by Ling Ruiyin welcomed her.
“My Lady, the Empress Dowager asked you to see her.”
Even Shi Qingxue was flattered and surprised as the Empress Dowager was so anxious to see her.
She was surprised and scared.
What did the Empress Dowager want to do this time?
Shi Qingxue smiled at the maid and asked her to lead the way.
When the maid turned her head, Shi Qingxue looked depressed automatically.
“My Lady.” Obviously Xia Mang noticed that this spring outing picnic was unusual, and she looked at Shi Qingxue worriedly.
After a while, she suggested in a low voice, “Shall I send for His Excellency?”
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
What the hell?
She had a “bad habit” that she would look for Mo Junyang unconsciously when something happened. Why did her maid think of “sending for His Excellency” as soon as there was something wrong?
Shi Qingxue rubbed Xia Mang’s nose helplessly. “Why should you send for him?”
Xia Mang was speechless and looked at Shi Qingxue blankly.
She said that subconsciously. On second thought, even though Mo Junyang was the young lady’s future husband, it was improper to ask him for help no matter what happened.
“Fine. I lived the same life when he was not around me in the past. Don’t worry.” Shi Qingxue waved at Xia Mang.
“Stay here and take good care of Qingmin. I can go there by myself.”
Afterward, she followed that maid and went to see Ling Ruiyin.
When Ling Ruiyin saw Shi Qingxue, she grabbed the girl’s hand warmly and said gently, “Little Qingxue, you haven’t come to see me since long ago. Don’t you want to see me?”
“Of course yes.” Shi Qingxue was uncomfortable as Ling Ruiyin was uncommonly hospitable, so she hurriedly explained, “Many things happened in my family lately, so I was too busy to go out and didn’t enter the imperial palace to greet you frequently. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
“I certainly won’t blame you.” Ling Ruiyin smiled more amiably.
She pulled Shi Qingxue to her and inquired after her well-being for quite a while. She even asked about her two newborn brothers.
After getting the satisfying answers, she chuckled. “Little Qingxue, I have watched you grow up, and you are the future wife of King Rui’s heir. You will be closer to the royal family and call me grandma in the future, so you can’t be distant to me.”
Shi Qingxue lowered her head and answered obediently, “I won’t.”
“I knew that you are the loveliest child.” Ling Ruiyin seemed to be satisfied with Shi Qingxue and praised her continuously.
Even though Shi Qingxue often accepted Ling Ruiyin’s love and compliments, she thought that the Empress Dowager’s actions were weird.
More exaggeratedly, the empress Liang Jingxian who always disliked Shi Qingxue in the past echoed Ling Ruiyin today and praised her without precedent.
Shi Qingxue could see that the empress’s smile was not forced.
She was scared by the empress’s smile and felt that it was strange.
What did Empress Liang want to do?
“Qingxue, why didn’t you hang out with your friend Yuzhen recently?” Liang Jingxian suddenly asked.
Qingxue was stunned and looked at Liang Jingxian, with her questioning eyes.
This woman mentioned what annoyed Shi Qingxue. She knew that Shi Qingxue almost fell out with Mo Yuzhen since Mo Junjiu died but still had the face to talk about Mo Yuzhen with her?
However, in front of so many people, Shi Qingxue couldn’t embarrass the empress. She replied politely, “Yuzhen is not feeling well these days and doesn’t want to go out.”
“I am not concerned about my daughter enough. I don’t know it unexpectedly.” Liang Jingxian pretended to be sad and sighed in a low voice.
It appeared that she really felt guilty.
Nevertheless, such a false appearance lasted only for several seconds. Then she looked worried and talked to Ling Ruiyin, “Qingxue is on good terms with Yuzhen all the time. She will be bored for a long time as Yuzhen is not here today.”
As she said, it seemed that Shi Qingxue had only one friend Mo Yuzhen and couldn’t have fun when she was not present.
There were too many words which made Shi Qingxue want to make complaints, and she didn’t know where to start.
However, Ling Ruiyin seemed to believe Liang Jingxian’s words and nodded. “Indeed, Qingxue looks quieter than before.”
It was because Shi Qingxue was summoned by the Empress Dowager as soon as she came to the picnic.
No matter how many friends Shi Qingxue had, nobody would stop her from seeing the Empress Dowager first.
Shi Qingxue made complaints in secret but had to smile faintly. “I am fine.”
“Why?” Ling Ruiyin rebuked softly and thought that Shi Qingxue forced herself to smile happily.
Then she said without demur, “Qingxue, I will introduce another good friend to you today. Spend more time with her in the future, and then you won’t be lonely.”
Shi Qingxue was speechless, with surprise flashing in her eyes, but because she lowered her head, nobody saw it.
She asked in a clear and doubtful voice, “Your Majesty, who do you mean?”
Ling Ruiyin winked at Liang Jingxian, and the latter pushed a young girl dressed in pink clothes beside her to Shi Qingxue.
Liang Jingxian introduced with a smile, “Her name is Liang Zixin. She is my niece, seventeen years old. She is at the same age as you and several months younger than you.
“Come on, Zixin. Don’t be shy. Come to see Qingxue.”
While speaking, Liang Jingxian pushed the young girl to Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue looked at the young girl’s shy and attractive face in a daze.
As a matter of fact, she had seen this gentle and beautiful face. Anyway, Liang Zixin was Prime Minister Liang’s first legitimate granddaughter, with extraordinary status, and she often showed up on such official occasions. But they were not on the same side, so they almost didn’t have friends in common.
They didn’t even have a chance to nod in greeting, so they didn’t get to know each other.
However, Liang Jingxian introduced Liang Zixin to Shi Qingxue in public and talked intimately, as if Liang Zixin would replace Mo Yuzhen and become her good friend after this official introduction.
Shi Qingxue just wanted to say to Liang Jingxian, “Stop daydreaming.”
However, when Ling Ruiyin meddled in this matter, Qingxue couldn’t say anything to refuse Liang Jingxian politely with no emotion.
Shi Qingxue should do everything out of consideration for somebody else. She could embarrass Liang Jingxian, yet she couldn’t refuse Ling Ruiyin’s “kind offer”.
Ling Ruiyin watched them happily, and Shi Qingxue had to bite the bullet and greet Liang Zixin. “Zixin, nice to meet you. We are at the same age and should be friends as peers. Please call me Qingxue.”
Liang Zixin’s face was fair-skinned and fascinating, and she had a blush on her cheeks because of Shi Qingxue’s words. They were like two big red apples and looked delicate and beautiful.
Liang Zixin looked gentle and virtuous, and her every move was attractive.
Even though Shi Qingxue didn’t like the people from the Liang family, seeing that Liang Zixin greeted her with a faint smile and was soft-spoken, quiet and obedient, Shi Qingxue had a favorable impression of her.
“I will do as you say, Qingxue. Hope that you won’t dislike me as I am green and inexperienced.”
Under the watchful eyes of all people, Shi Qingxue wouldn’t make Liang Zixin lose face. She was satisfied with Liang Zixin more as the latter was dignified and not arrogant.
Shi Qingxue showed a sincerer smile and grabbed Liang Zixin’s arm with a smile. “Zixin, what are you talking about? I don’t know what extraordinary abilities you have, but only your style of conversation and temperature make me feel ashamed of my inferiority.”
Shi Qingxue spoke out what she really thought about. Although she was silver-tongued, people would think that she was spoilt, but not hateful.
However, Liang Zixin made people like her at first sight, and her manners were flawless.
Liang Zixin’s cheeks were redder as she felt shy after Shi Qingxue praised her, yet she wouldn’t pretend to be shy like the other girls.
She just said to Qingxue in a soft voice, “Qingxue, you flatter me. If you don’t dislike me, I hope that we can spend more time with each other in the future.”
Shi Qingxue smiled and planned to respond.
A deep and hoarse male voice cut in forcefully. “No.”
