Mo Qin sat on the deck chair under the tree in the yard.
The pink braid was rolled by the breeze and fell on the hem of her clothes. She was holding a book in her hand, and there were several plates of tea on the small table next to her.
Lian Qiu hurriedly came in from the door, and when she saw Mo Qin's leisurely look, she felt inexplicably choked up.
"Miss, why are you still reading here?"
"You don't even know what's going on outside!"
The slender jade fingers gently held the pages of the book and turned the page without raising his head.
"What's it like? Tell me."
Lianqiu fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand, and said with an urgent tone, "I heard that the prince has dismissed all the concubines in the palace, and people outside are saying that the prince has... something wrong with him."
Mo Qin listened to the music, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved in pleasure.
"They're all spreading it?"
"Yes! Now it's spread all over the streets! How can they slander the prince like this!"
Mo Qin put down the book and nodded seriously.
"Indeed, how can it be spread casually if it's not just a statement?"
Yesterday, she sneaked out and happened to hear someone spreading rumors. After a little investigation, she found out that it was Jun Chen who had people spreading rumors about his noble character.
Can this be tolerated?
Mo Qin immediately found someone to pass on another version, and now it seems that the effect is remarkable.
Being a prince is no more interesting than having a noble character.
Lianqiu thought that Mo Qin was fighting for Jun Chen's injustice, and strongly agreed.
Of course, Jun Chen couldn't come forward to explain things like this and clarify himself.
On the one hand, it doesn't fit his noble image, and on the other hand, it's so embarrassing to clarify this matter in public.
Jun Chen could only suppress these rumors secretly, but the fact that King Zun Yi could not do it left a deep impression on people.
Mo Qin understood the situation of the current dynasty and knew that Jun Ye had the upper hand at the moment.
When I saw Jun Ye at the eldest princess's residence that day, I always felt that something was wrong with him, but the specific reason needed to be carefully diagnosed.
In the plot, Jun Ye died young, either from illness or from poisoning.
She has been reading medical books in the past few days. There is no strange power or chaos in this world, and it is highly consistent with what she originally mastered.
She planned to find an opportunity to help Jun Ye see a doctor.
But Jun Ye has been in the palace, and she can't see him for the time being.
Even if it was a banquet or something like that, she might not have a chance to talk to him, which would be a bit troublesome when she thought about it.
What's more, she has been restricted from traveling recently, so she can only go out secretly if she wants to go out.
Within a few days, the discussion about Jun Chen's inability gradually became quieter.
But Jun Chen didn't feel happy at all, because he didn't know when Mo Qin stopped replying to his letters.
He sent several letters back and forth, but he didn't get even a word.
This had to make him think more, was there something going on with Mo Zheng?
Mo Qin didn't pay attention to the previous incident, but she didn't receive any of the subsequent letters. Those letters were all intercepted halfway.
The night falls low, and a bright moon rises from the sky.
Jun Chen greeted the boy outside the door:
"My cousin hasn't returned home yet?"
"Go back to your lord, my cousin is not back yet."
Liang Yubing has been going out early and coming back late recently. If the people following her hadn't seen her going to the old man's yard, Jun Chen would have thought that Liang Yubing was out having fun.
-
Time passed by and Jun Ye's birthday arrived.
Mo Qin didn't have to get up early in the morning to dress up and go to the palace to attend the banquet. There were requirements from headwear to clothing specifications.
Formal attire for large banquets is custom-made every year.
But the only difference is that Mo Zheng asked the maid to make Mo Qin look ugly, and all kinds of accessories should be inconspicuous and low-key.
He seems to be afraid of drawing attention to himself.
After the eldest princess’s banquet, there was nothing unusual about Jun Ye, but it’s always good to be prepared for a rainy day.
When Mo Zheng came out, he was obviously not satisfied when he saw Mo Qin waiting beside the carriage.
Even though he tried his best to hide his clumsiness, Mo Qin still had a good appearance and temperament.
Mrs. Mo is dressed up, she is mature and dignified for being less than forty years old.
"Master, what's wrong?"
In fact, she was very satisfied with Mo Qin's dress today. When the two of them stood together, they would not steal the limelight from her.
"It's okay." Mo Zheng waved his hand and went straight to the carriage without any intention of helping Mrs. Mo.
"Set off."
The two carriages staggered toward the palace.
For an occasion like a palace banquet, naturally only the first wife and legitimate children can be brought.
The carriage could not enter the palace and stopped outside the palace gate.
The towering palace walls are like insurmountable hills, forming a huge prison.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a eunuch came to greet him.
"I've met General Mo, Mrs. Mo."
Mo Zheng nodded towards the eunuch with a rather arrogant attitude.
The eunuch didn't mind at all. He was waiting aside with a smile on his face and his waist bent.
Mo Qin saw the eunuch as soon as he got out of the car.
"This must be Miss Mo."
The eunuch only said this, as if he was confirming Mo Qin's identity.
While he was talking, another carriage came, belonging to Prince Zunyi's Mansion.
"General Mo."
As soon as Jun Chen got off the carriage, he greeted Mo Zheng. When his eyes touched Mo Qin, he smiled and nodded to Mo Qin.
"I've met the prince."
People around him were busy saluting Jun Chen.
Next to Jun Chen stood a woman in pink clothes with a veil. When her eyes touched Mo Qin, they were filled with anger. If there was no one in private, Liang Yubing might pounce on her and bite her.
Mo Qin was stared at by this gaze that seemed to be real, and she smiled back.
The knuckles of Liang Yubing's hand that she placed on Su Yu's were white, and her fingers hurt from the force.
After she applied the antidote to herself that day, the pimples on her face did start to get better. She thought her face would be completely recovered in less than two days, but she didn't expect...
The pimples disappeared and the redness subsided, but the color of the original pimples gradually darkened, leaving many large and small brown scars on her fair face.
She was frightened at the time and thought there was something wrong with her antidote, so she immediately went to see the old man.
As a result, the old man looked at the box of rouge, then looked at her face, and told her that someone had added something else to her poison.
It has no other effect than leaving scars on her face.
Those scars still remain on her face, and she can only show them to others with a veil.
Jun Chen noticed Liang Yubing's attitude and felt unhappy. He regretted agreeing to bring her here.
It's not advisable to stand for a long time at the gate, it's really blocking the way.
Just when the group was about to go in, the eunuch suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, the maid cannot go in together."
Liang Yubing, who was treated as a maid, couldn't bear it anymore. She scolded the eunuch:
"Girl? Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
Liang Yubing is the legitimate daughter of the Liang family, so she is qualified to participate in the banquet.
The eunuch learned Liang Yubing's identity and realized that he had mistaken his identity, so he quickly apologized.
Liang Yubing cursed a few more times, but he still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger. Fortunately, Jun Chen stopped him in time, so that the fuss was not even bigger, but it had already made many people laugh.
