Mo Qin sat on a lounge chair under a tree in the yard.
Her pink braid was blown by the breeze and fell onto her hem. She was holding a book in her hand, and there were several trays of snacks on the small table next to her.
Lian Qiu hurried in from outside, and when she saw Mo Qin's leisurely look, she felt inexplicably blocked in her heart.
"Miss, why are you still reading here?"
"You don't even know what's going on outside!"
Mo Qin gently pinched the page of the book with her slender jade fingers and turned it over without even raising her head.
"What's it like? Tell me about it."
Lian Qiu twisted the handkerchief in his hand, his tone anxious, "I heard that the prince dismissed all the concubines in the mansion, and people outside spread rumors that the prince... has problems in that area."
Mo Qin laughed and a smile of delight appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Is it spreading everywhere?"
"Yes! Now it's all over the streets! How could they slander the prince like this!"
Mo Qin put the book down and nodded seriously.
"Indeed, how can it be spread casually if it's not a statement?"
She sneaked out yesterday and happened to hear someone spreading rumors. After a quick check, she found out that it was Jun Chen who spread the rumor about his noble character.
Is this tolerable?
Mo Qin immediately asked someone to pass on another version, and now it seems to be very effective.
The prince of the current dynasty is not good, and is not as interesting as the one with noble character.
Lian Qiu thought Mo Qin was standing up for Jun Chen and agreed wholeheartedly.
Of course, Junchen couldn't come forward to speak out and clear himself of such a matter.
On the one hand, it does not fit his noble image, and on the other hand, it is so embarrassing to clarify this matter in public.
Jun Chen could only suppress these rumors secretly, but the fact that Prince Zunyi could not do so left a deep impression on people.
Mo Qin understood the current situation and knew that Jun Ye had the upper hand at the moment.
When I saw Jun Ye at the Princess's Mansion that day, I always felt that something was wrong with him, but I still needed a careful diagnosis to find out what was going on.
In the plot, Jun Ye died young due to illness, or of course, he could have been poisoned.
She has been reading medical books these days. There is nothing strange or supernatural in this world, and it is highly consistent with what she already knows.
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 at a banquet or something like that, she might not have the chance to talk to him, which was a bit troublesome to think about.
What's more, she has been restricted from traveling recently, so she can only leave the house secretly.
After a few days, the discussion about Jun Chen's failure gradually died down.
But Jun Chen didn't feel happy at all, because he didn't know when Mo Qin stopped replying his letters.
He sent several letters, but didn't receive a single word.
This made him think more, was there any change on Mo Zhong's side?
Mo Qin ignored the previous incident, and she didn't receive any of the subsequent letters. Those letters were intercepted halfway.
As night falls, a bright crescent moon rises from the horizon.
Jun Chen greeted the servant outside the door:
"My cousin hasn't returned home yet?"
"Your Highness, my cousin hasn't come back yet."
Liang Yubing has been going out early and coming back late recently. If the people who followed her had not seen her go to the old man's yard, Jun Chen would have thought that Liang Yubing was out having a good time.
-
Time flies, and Jun Ye's birthday has arrived.
Mo Qin didn't delay getting up early in the morning, dressing up, and going to the palace to attend the banquet. There were requirements for everything from headwear to clothing.
New formal attire is custom-made every year for attending large banquets.
But the only difference is that Mo Zhong asked the maid to make Mo Qin look uglier, and all the accessories she wore should be inconspicuous and low-key.
It seems that he is afraid of attracting other people's attention.
After the eldest princess's banquet, Jun Ye didn't show any abnormality, but it's always better to prepare for a rainy day.
When Mo Zhong came out, he saw Mo Qin waiting beside the carriage, and he was obviously still not satisfied.
Even though she tried her best to hide her shortcomings, Mo Qin's appearance and temperament were still quite good.
Mrs. Mo was dressed up, and although she was less than forty years old, she looked mature and dignified.
"Master, what's wrong?"
In fact, she was very satisfied with Mo Qin's outfit today. When the two of them stood together, she did not steal her limelight.
"It's okay." Mo Zhong waved his hand and got into the carriage directly, with no intention of helping Madam Mo.
"Set off."
Two carriages wobbled towards the palace.
To an occasion like a palace banquet, naturally one can only bring one's wife and legitimate children.
The carriage could not enter the palace and stopped outside the palace gate.
The towering palace walls are like impassable hills, forming a huge prison.
As soon as the carriage stopped, eunuchs came to greet them.
"Meet General Mo, Madam Mo."
Mo Zhong nodded towards the eunuch with a rather arrogant attitude.
The eunuch didn't mind at all. He stood by with a smile on his face and a hunched back.
Mo Qin saw the eunuch as soon as she got off the car.
"This must be Miss Mo."
The eunuch only said this one sentence, as if to confirm Mo Qin's identity.
As they were talking, another carriage arrived, it was from the Zunyi Palace.
"General Mo."
As soon as Jun Chen got off the carriage, he greeted Mo Zhong. When his eyes met Mo Qin, he smiled and nodded to Mo Qin.
"Meet the prince."
The people around hurriedly saluted Jun Chen.
Next to Jun Chen stood a woman in pink, wearing a veil. When her eyes met Mo Qin, they were filled with rage. If there was no one around, Liang Yubing might have pounced on her and bit her.
Mo Qin was stared at by this gaze that seemed to be real, and she smiled back.
Liang Yubing's knuckles turned white as she placed her hand on Su Yu's chest, and she used so much force that her fingers hurt.
After she applied the antidote that day, the pimples on her face did start to improve. She thought her face would be completely healed within two days, but she didn't expect...
The pimples disappeared and the redness faded, but the color of the places where the pimples originally appeared gradually darkened, leaving many brown scars of various sizes on her fair face.
She was frightened at the time, thinking that there was something wrong with her antidote, so she immediately went to find the old man.
Finally, 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 won't have any other effect except leaving a scar on her face.
The scars still remain on her face, and she can only appear in public wearing a veil.
Jun Chen noticed Liang Yubing's attitude and felt unhappy. He regretted agreeing to bring her here.
It is not advisable to stand at the gate for a long time, as it really blocks the way.
Just as the group was about to go in, the eunuch suddenly spoke.
"Your Highness, the maidservants cannot go in with you."
Liang Yubing, who was treated as a maid, could no longer bear it and cursed at the eunuch:
"Maid? Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
Liang Yubing is the legitimate daughter of the Liang family, and if you think about it carefully, she is qualified to attend the banquet.
When the eunuch learned Liang Yubing's identity, he realized that he had mistaken the identity and quickly apologized.
Liang Yubing cursed a few more times, but still felt unsatisfied. Fortunately, Jun Chen stopped her in time and the situation did not get any bigger. However, she had already made a fool of herself in front of many people.
