Qing Shuang naturally couldn't stand her sarcasm and directly retorted:

"In the heat of mourning, I don't know how to avoid taboos, and I look for bad luck everywhere every day."

Song'er stepped forward, ignoring Qingshuang, and said to Shen Yangui: "Sister Qingshuang is the princess's person, there is a difference between the superior and the inferior. If the prince knew about her disrespect to the second young lady, I'm afraid he would misunderstand that the princess could not tolerate the second young lady and wanted to be estranged from her."

Be neither humble nor arrogant, be reasonable and well-founded, and protect your master in a timely manner.

Shen Qingyue is very satisfied with Song'er.

Shen Yangui glanced at Song'er and said to Shen Qingyue, "The prince is busy now and cannot meet guests. Sister, you don't have to work hard today. Go back."

"Thank you for your kind reminder, sister."

Shen Qingyue bowed to Shen Yangui, then passed by her and walked to the door of Qinxian Hall.

"Eunuch Sui'an, is the prince in there?"

"The prince is admiring the Second Miss's cooking skills. Second Miss, please come in—"

Sui'an stretched out his hand and opened the door.

Shen Qingyue turned around to pick up the lunch box and saw Shen Yangui staring at her in a daze. After being discovered, he quickly dodged away.

That flustered look is really refreshing.

Song'er glanced at the princess and whispered, "I heard that the prince has not summoned the princess once in the past few days since she came to the palace."

Where is this?

Shen Qingyue sneered and entered the hall alone.

The people in the hall were none other than Taifu Zhao and his family.

Mo Chengying just asked Zhao Qizhen why Hua Shan'er didn't come with him. Zhao Qizhen was just replying:

"…My grandfather was not in good health, and I broke my leg in a car accident. My wife went to the temple to fast and pray, so she didn't come."

"The young lady is very filial."

"Your Highness, I greet you." Shen Qingyue saluted and bowed to Taifu Zhao. "I didn't know that Your Highness was discussing matters with you. Please forgive me."

"It's nothing, just gossip."

Mo Chengying sat high up in the seat. Because of the backlight, he could not see his expression. He only heard his rare gentle tone.

At least in the eyes of Taifu Zhao, Zhao Qizhen and others, her gentleness was extremely rare.

Mo Chengying waved, "Come here."

Shen Qingyue's face flushed and she knelt down beside Mo Chengying.

"What new snacks have you made today?"

Mo Chengying looked at her food box.

"Since the weather is getting hotter, I have specially prepared a portion of Sui Sui Horse Hoof Cake and a portion of Bing Xue Leng Yuan Zi for you, Your Majesty."

Shen Qingyue said as she brought out the dishes.

Sui'an came over to help and took a small plate to try the food.

Mo Chengying raised his hand and waved away, "No need, Yue'er did it herself, what could go wrong?"

Shen Qingyue was touched and scooped up the icy Leng Yuanzi with a porcelain spoon.

Sui An saw the floating ice on the ice and snow and reminded him, "Envoy Li said that the prince has a weak spleen and stomach recently and cannot eat cold food."

"You talk too much!"

Mo Chengying glared at Sui'an and reached out to take the white porcelain bowl.

Shen Qingyue did not let go, "It is my fault for not thinking carefully enough. I only wanted to relieve the heat and forgot to take care of Your Majesty's health. Your Majesty should not eat."

Mo Chengying had a sentence brewing in his mind: Not to mention a bowl of ice drink, even if it's coptis mixed with arsenic, I would enjoy it.

But he only wanted to say this to his beloved, to Shen Qingyue - just thinking about it made him feel so cheesy that he couldn't utter a single word.

"How can I brush off your feelings?"

"Then Your Majesty, just take a sip. Your health is more important."

"It doesn't matter..."

"Your Majesty~~~"

"Okay, I'll listen to you! I'll listen to you!"

Mo Chengying took a sip, full of praise, and turned to Taifu Zhao and said:

"Yue'er is very skillful, please give it a try, Master—Yue'er."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"The Grand Master cannot eat ice. Please give him some of the water chestnut cake to try, and give some of the ice cubes to his grandson."

Master Zhao stood up tremblingly and expressed his gratitude.

"Young Master Zhao was injured a few days ago. He is not in good health, but he still takes care of his grandfather every day. His filial piety is really commendable."

Shen Qingyue got up and brought Sui Sui Water Chestnut Cake to Master Zhao, and handed Bing Xue Leng Yuan Zi to Zhao Qizhen.

After Zhao Qizhen killed someone, he became more courageous. When he took the bowl, he touched Shen Qingyue's hand regardless of the occasion.

Although it was a natural brush, he didn't have to touch her hand.

Shen Qingyue was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand, and the ice water splashed on their hands, but Zhao Qizhen seemed fine.

Mo Chengying saw Shen Qingyue's elbow retreating and immediately understood what had happened, but he lowered his head and took a sip of the ice drink, pretending to be greedy for the food she made.

Shangshu Ling Cai Chong and Rites Minister Cheng Ruogu came to ask for a meeting, and Taifu Zhao immediately stood up and said goodbye.

Naturally, Shen Qingyue couldn't stay either.

Mo Chengying held Shen Qingyue's wrist through her clothes and said that he had to leave just after arriving, and he hadn't even said a few words yet. He would go to your Langyue Pavilion when he was free in two days and so on.

After Cai Chong and Cheng Ruogu came in, he was still reluctant to let go.

Because of the table blocking their view, Cai Chong looked over and thought that the two were holding hands.

When Shen Qingyue left, she bowed to Cai Cheng and the other man and walked out.

"The succession to the throne is a matter of great importance to the country. The princess is pregnant. When the prince has time, he should visit the pregnant princess first, instead of visiting the princess's sister, which would cause criticism."

Mo Chengying leaned sideways, supporting his head with one hand. The hand that had held Shen Qingyue's hand pressed on the handkerchief on the table, his brows slightly knitted, and he said unhappily:

"What false rumors did Shang Shu Ling hear?"

"Wei Chen dare not."

Cai Chong clasped his fists and bowed, "It's just that when the prince ascends the throne in the future, the princess will be the queen, the mother of a country. If the emperor and queen are at peace, then the court will be at peace, and Daxia will be at peace..."

He always does.

As long as it is for the good of Daxia, he dares to say anything, and he dares to advise the regent if he is wrong.

Therefore, even though he stood on Mo Chengying's side from beginning to end, he was still very prestigious among the court officials.

Mo Chengying used to think that Cai Chong was noisy, but now he finds him hypocritical.

As the noise in the palace became smaller and smaller, Shen Qingyue finally realized that it was not easy for the prince. Although he seemed high and mighty, in fact, even who he went to see was interfered by the court officials.

"These old officials are very pedantic."

Song'er complained to her master in a low voice, "If it weren't for them, the master would have been with the prince that night when he entered the palace... Humph! It's infuriating. Who the prince likes and who he favors, what does it have to do with them?"

Bing'er continued, "That's right! You want to intervene in matters concerning the bed? You live in a city moat, why are you meddling in so many matters?"

Shen Qingyue thought of Qingshuang's words and sighed, "After all, I am filial."

"Master, don't be discouraged." Song'er observed his expression and comforted him, "Just look at the arrangement of this palace. In the prince's heart, the princess is not as good as you."

Shen Qingyue's Langyue Pavilion is closest to the Regent's residence.

"Shangxia Tianguang" where Shen Yangui lives is a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides and willows on four sides. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if you want to see Mo Chengying, you must pass by Langyue Pavilion unless you cross the water.

"Yes." Bing'er also agreed, "The princess originally had female guards around her, but now? But there are only Qingshuang who came with her as a dowry, and little maids like Xing'er and Li'er. All the big maids have left."

"My mother once said that if a man truly loves a woman, he will only touch her after he gives her his status. This is to show understanding for the difficulties of being a woman and it is a great respect!"

"My father also said that only men who treat women as objects will look for opportunities to make moves on them, without caring about a woman's reputation at all."

This sentence is just short of directly mentioning Zhao Qizhen's name.

The two of them spoke to each other with true feelings, which made Shen Qingyue very happy.

These are all facts that are visible to all, and no one can find any fault with them.

Song'er glanced around and lowered her voice and said, "What the princess is relying on now is the one in her belly, right? If the master can also give birth to a son for the prince, there is no need to worry about the future."

Chunqi, Xia'an, Qiusui and Dongxi all know kung fu. Even if the people who serve them are not as good as them, they always have some basic kung fu skills.

He has sharp ears and eyes and is extremely sensitive.

What Shen Qingyue can discover, Song'er and Bing'er can discover, and what she cannot discover, they can also discover.

Zhao Qizhen had been staring at this side for a long time behind the tree by the lake, probably wanting to have a private conversation with Shen Qingyue.

But Shen Qingyue...didn't notice.

Bing'er always had to help her, "The sun isn't that strong right now, and there's wind on the lake, would you like to sit over there?"
