However, it was Shi Qingxue that was overjoyed when she heard that Mo Junyang was here to deliver things, and she didn’t even think about why she was willing to owe Mo Junyang a favor, but unwilling to have any relationship with Mo Junhao, even though they were both her enemies in her last life. She just gave her mother a wink.
The latter understood. She nodded quickly and welcomed Mo Junyang and the others into the kitchen.
Shi Qingxue didn’t know whether it was her imaginary or not that Mo Junyang seemed to have expected that the kitchen would be destroyed. Apart from the cook, he even brought the cleaning man from the palace.
Those people cleaned up a place in an orderly way and started to prepare the dishes, which was very efficient.
On the contrary, Mo Junhao, originally full of confidence, thought that with this favor he could capture the beauty’s heart. Suddenly he was interrupted by Mo Junyang, and all his plans were useless. His handsome face which always seemed positive and gentle became twisted.
Seeing this, Shi Qingxue flashed a sly look in her eyes, and suddenly exclaimed, “Now that the ingredients for the birthday banquet are ready. Sorry for having bothered Your Highness to be concerned about it!”
When Mo Junhao saw that Qingxue still cared about him, he thought that she was really touched by him, and his heart was overjoyed, but he showed a magnanimous smile on his face. He said, “It doesn’t matter, as long as nothing’s wrong with this banquet.”
Shi Qingxue smiled and yelled, “Your Highness, wouldn’t it be a waste of your special preparations for the Shi Family?”
She intentionally pressed the word “special”, as if to say that Mo Junhao was deliberately preparing those things to wait for the Shi Family to be awkward.
Mo Junhao’s smiled face was frozen. His face became green and pale because of embarrassment. After a while, he smiled reluctantly, “It’s not special. I just happened to have prepared some ingredients.”
“But I’m sorry for letting Your Highness come in vain!” Shi Qingxue smiled politely.
Immediately, she called for Xia Mang and told her seriously, “Tell the housekeeper for me to withdraw some money from the accountant and send it to the Fourth Prince’s house to reward those who are on standby. After all, the Fourth Prince has the intention to help us and it is a favor. The Shi family cannot take advantage of him but give nothing back.”
At this moment, Mo Junhao’s face was really awkward, but he still needed to maintain a graceful manner and couldn’t get angry with Shi Qingxue.
Anyway, she was being grateful for his intention to help, even if she behaved like that she was sending away a beggar…
Mo Junhao secretly gritted his teeth for a while, and said in his heart that he might tolerate it this time, but when Shi Qingxue married him in the future, he would deal with all the matters and grievance then!
He smiled and thanked her, and no longer responded.
————
Because of Mo Junyang’s god-like behaviour, the dishes on Mo Shujun’s birthday banquet were served on time.
Shi Qingxue should be happy, but at the banquet she gradually realized what the abnormal feeling was.
At this time, Mo Junyang was supposed to remain as a hostage of King Rui in the capital. He had no status at all. Mo Junyang was raised to be the eldest son and rushed to Rui Prefecture until King Rui was seriously ill and Mo Junyang’s life experience was revealed later.
But now Mo Junyang was already the eldest son of King Rui, and what was even more nonsense was that the former Prince Mo Junyu, who had died of smallpox when she was eight years old, was still alive!
But now Mo Junyu was sitting alive beside Mo Shujun, which almost scared Shi Qingxue to death!
She really met ghost in daytime!
The differences between the two lives made Shi Qingxue can’t help wondering whether anyone was reborn like her and even before her.
Shi Qingxue put her skeptical sight on the elegant Prince Mo Junyu. With the experience of the last life, she would not think so innocently that there would be such a coincidence. It was most possible that this prince knew that something would happen to the Shi Family’s kitchen, and did this favor like the coal in a snowstorm!
She secretly thought about the opportunity to meet with Mo Junyu. But the First Lady of the Shi Family, Shi Baoning, suddenly felt unwell, and she passed out just when the banquet was over.
Shi Baoning was Qingxue’s sister given birth from the same mother. She was the eldest daughter of the Shi family, very much loved by Mo Shujun. Seeing that her beloved granddaughter was unwell, Mo Shujun went to Shi Baoning’s boudoir without even paying attention to the guests.
Shi Qingxue was a bit worried and wanted to follow up with her, but Xia Mang brought a note to her at this time.
Looking at the contents of the note, her look suddenly became dignified.
“Sixth Lady, are you going to see this man?” Xia Mang asked carefully aside.
Shi Qingxue nodded. She had expected that her present life was very different from her previous life, and the biggest change wanted to see her. There was no reason for her to refuse.
She came to the pavilion in the backyard alone, and she saw the man sitting still there waiting for her. When he saw her, he nodded slightly, “Qingxue.”
Shi Qingxue had a very vague impression on Mo Junyu, and now she felt somewhat strange with Mo Junyu. There was no close relationship as cousins should have at all, and she only said politely, “Your Highness. Thanks for your help today.”
Mo Junyu smiled and said gently, “Qingxue, you don’t have to be like this. I am your relative, and princess royal is also my grandmother. With no doubt, I can’t stand by and watch someone maliciously ruin her birthday banquet.”
Shi Qingxue suddenly understood that even if Mo Junyu wasn’t reborn, he must have paid close attention to the Shi family, so that he could know the maliciousness of the third master and Mo Junhao in advance.
He didn’t hide the thoughts to align the Shi Family, which could be considered to be bright and clear.
Shi Qingxue was more satisfied with this prince. If the Shi family really needed to support one side, Mo Junyu might be a good choice.
She thought for a moment before she said, “Your Highness, I will always remember your favor today in my heart. If you have any order in the future, I will surely do my best.”
