Chapter 355: Exert Pressure with Her Status

Shi Qingxue stopped and looked back in confusion. “Your Highness, what else can I do for you?”

Feng Mei snorted with displeasure. “Did I allow you to go?”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

Feng Mei really felt good about herself.

Who did she think she was?

Would Qingxue ask her for permission before leaving?

Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but roll her eyes and say with sarcasm, “I don’t know when the fourth prince’s mansion moved to the Taole Palace.”

“What do you mean?” Feng Mei frowned and asked in doubt.

She thought that Shi Qingxue wouldn’t have a good word to say for her, yet she didn’t know what it meant.

At the moment, Chen Xiujiao who looked on cut in, “Your Highness, don’t you understand that somebody laughs at you as you are meddlesome and try to boss around in the Taole Palace?”

Feng Mei finally understood and her face darkened at once. She shouted at Shi Qingxue, “Shi Qingxue, how dare you satirize me? Aren’t you afraid that I will accuse you of being disrespectful?”

Shi Qingxue glanced at Chen Xiujiao who tried to make it worse and then at Feng Mei who was furious and would rush to her at any time seemingly. Then she pouted and said flatly, “I dare not.”

Feng Mei thought that Shi Qingxue feared her honorable status and finally bowed down to her.

She wasn’t so angry anymore but still held her head high and said arrogantly, “Huh! You have said that. What is the point of saying that you dare not? I will still punish you.”

Gee, she really issued orders left and right.

What did Feng Mei think she was?

Not to mention that in Mo Country, before Mo Junhao was titled as a king, the fourth prince’s wife didn’t have a title, speaking of the status, Shi Qingxue was the wife of King Rui’s heir in name and wouldn’t be inferior to Feng Mei.

Why did Feng Mei have the confidence to order her and make indiscreet remarks?

Anyway, Shi Qingxue wouldn’t listen to her.

She glanced at Feng Mei coldly. “What do you want to do to punish me?”

“If you kneel down to kowtow to me for three times and admit your fault sincerely, I will spare you.” Feng Mei ordered Shi Qingxue as if to show mercy.

She was shorter than Shi Qingxue yet didn’t forget to raise her chin all the time, and she looked up haughtily.

Shi Qingxue wanted to laugh after seeing Feng Mei’s funny actions, but she tried to control herself and then asked indifferently, “What if I say no?”

“Huh, you have no right to say no here. If you don’t listen to me, I will tell the guards to force you to kneel to me.” Feng Mei threatened in a deep voice.

Perhaps she didn’t like Shi Qingxue since long ago, so she was determined to embarrass her in public.

All of them had entered the courtyard of the Taole Palace, and many noble ladies stood around them, while none of them dared to get involved and ask for trouble at the critical moment. They just whispered to each other and glanced at Shi Qingxue with sympathy from time to time.

Feng Mei was always bossy and unreasonable. Shi Qingxue was unlucky today and got caught by her. What a poor girl!

Shi Qingxue glanced around the crowd in the courtyard and saw many compassionate eyes, so she felt that it was laughable for no reason.

Why did all people believe that she would surely be bullied by Feng Mei?

However, it wasn’t the key point Shi Qingxue paid attention to. She was willing to confront Feng Mei in front of all people and even intentionally tried to irritate her with provocation because she wanted to do an experiment.

Now it seemed that the experiment result came out.

The mistress in the Taole Palace hadn’t shown up.

Shi Qingxue didn’t believe that Concubine Tao knew nothing about the situation. The woman just turned a deaf ear.

She didn’t know whether Concubine Tao was afraid of getting herself into trouble or wanted to indulge somebody.

Qingxue pondered for a moment and then suddenly laughed at leisure. “This is the Taole Palace here. Your Highness, even if you really think that I have done something improper, it’s not your job to punish me, right?”

Feng Mei’s face stiffened after she heard Shi Qingxue’s straightforward words. She hesitated, unable to speak a word.

Chen Xiujiao spoke for Feng Mei again all of a sudden. “Mei is the fourth prince’s wife, and you are just a noble lady. No matter when she disciplines you, you should accept it with no complaint.”

She would exert pressure with her status.

Shi Qingxue pouted and thought that these people’s method was so trite and they weren’t fed up with it after using it so frequently.

However, Feng Mei thought that she had found a reason and looked at her arrogantly. “Right, you are just a noble lady. I can discipline you at any time.”

Shi Qingxue was almost “scared” by Feng Mei’s bold words, but she wouldn’t let her get carried away.

Not to mention Feng Mei’s rank was equal to hers, the status…

Qingxue smiled and reminded casually, “Your Highness, have you forgotten that His Majesty has made an imperial edict and granted my marriage?”

Even though Shi Qingxue hadn’t married Mo Junyang officially, in Mo Country, after her marriage to King Rui’s heir was granted, it meant that she enjoyed the treatment of his wife.

She was equal to Feng Mei, the fourth prince’s wife, and the latter didn’t have the right to discipline her.

Feng Mei gritted her teeth so hard that she almost ruined them.

The emperor granted the marriage for both of them, yet they were treated differently.

When Shi Qingxue was titled as the wife of King Rui’s heir, she was rewarded with fertile farmland, shops, manors and so on, while Feng Mei appeared to enjoy more glory than her.

After all, the fourth prince had the right to inherit the throne, but all people with sharp eyes could see that the wife of King Rui’s heir Shi Qingxue was much more favored than the fourth prince’s wife Feng Mei.

How could Feng Mei not be jealous of her?

However, what could she do even though she was jealous?

As Shi Qingxue said, both of them were royal family members, so Feng Mei didn’t have the right to punish her for now.

Feng Mei was resentful and stared at Shi Qingxue.

They were in a stalemate for a while, and Liang Zixin walked forward to mediate as she saw something wrong. “All of us came to visit the second prince’s wife, and we don’t need to bother about who is superior.”

Liang Zixin wanted to make all people calm down and go in to visit Shi Baojing harmoniously who was pregnant.

However, Feng Mei was irritated by Shi Qingxue, so she didn’t listen to Liang Zixin but vented her anger on this girl.

“Do you qualify to interrupt when I talk with Shi Qingxue? Who the hell are you?”

These words were so harsh, and even though Liang Zixin was good-tempered, she turned ghastly pale involuntarily and looked at Feng Mei, unable to speak.

Feng Mei was still in a rage and raised her chin again, saying cockily, “Why are you looking at me? Can you look at me at will?”

Liang Zixin couldn’t say anything.

Shi Qingxue didn’t want to meddle, yet Feng Mei’s unreasonable action was really annoying.

She pulled Liang Zixin back and put on a faint smile. “Your Highness, have you heard such a story?”

Feng Mei had been fooled by Shi Qingxue for too many times. Seeing that the girl suddenly changed the subject, she was stunned and just looked at her alertly but didn’t dare to speak rashly.

Shi Qingxue continued casually, as if telling a story, “Once upon a time, there was a mynah. It gossiped endlessly all day long and thought that it was the most beautiful and noble bird in the world, yet it didn’t know that others just didn’t want to talk with it as they thought that it was too noisy.

“One day, this mynah talked too excitedly and fell from the tree. It happened to fall into mud, and the stinky and dirty mud sealed its mouth. From then on, the world became quiet again…”

Shi Qingxue was a good talker and showed her expression and tone perfectly while telling the story. It didn’t appear to be exaggerated but could make the audience seem to be personally on the scene.

After all people heard that, some of them couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Feng Mei’s face darkened at once, and she stared at Shi Qingxue angrily. “What do you mean?”

Shi Qingxue shrugged, pretending to be innocent. “I was talking about a mynah. Why are you so emotional?”

It was scolding a locust while pointing at a mulberry, yet the “locust” didn’t have a chance to retort.

Feng Mei stomped in a rage. Perhaps she finally realized that she could never defeat Shi Qingxue in an argument.

After weighing, she walked away resentfully at last.

Liang Zixin heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Qingxue gratefully. “Thanks, Qingxue. If it weren’t for your help, I didn’t know what to do.”

Shi Qingxue smiled and expressed that it was nothing.

When she entered Shi Baojing’s room, most of the other visitors had left.

Seeing her, Shi Baojing waved away the others, and they were left alone in the room.

Baojing couldn’t help but ask, “Won’t you be in trouble after you embarrass the fourth prince’s wife in the courtyard?”

“What trouble can it be?” Shi Qingxue didn’t take it seriously.

Shi Baojing frowned worriedly. “Anyway, she is the fourth prince’s wife, and nobody knows the situation in the future. If he is in power someday, she won’t let you go easily.”

Shi Qingxue looked at Shi Baojing quietly, to see that the concern and worry in her eyes were sincere.

While thinking, she didn’t feel unhappy anymore.

Afterward, she asked Shi Baojing straightforwardly, “Baojing, did you send Xia Liang to see me in the Lanxun Villa two days ago?”

Shi Baojing’s face stiffened, and she looked at Shi Qingxue in embarrassment.

After a long time, she explained in a low voice, “In fact, it’s Mother who wants to see you, yet she was afraid that you would be unwilling to enter the imperial palace, so she told Xia Liang to send a message.”

However, Shi Qingxue found something wrong, so Concubine Tao didn’t achieve her goal.

Concubine Tao had lost temper in private for many times, while Shi Baojing was her daughter-in-law in name. When her mother-in-law blamed her, no matter if she was right, Shi Baojing had to bear with it obediently.

Nevertheless, Shi Baojing didn’t want to talk about something like this.

Shi Qingxue knew it and asked seriously, “Did she make things difficult for you?”

Shi Baojing shook her head. “No. Perhaps she thought that you and me are not close enough, and it’s normal that you didn’t come. She just rebuked me and then did nothing.”

It was just that those words with ridicule were offensive.

“Why did she tell me to enter the imperial palace suddenly?” Shi Qingxue still didn’t understand what Concubine Tao wanted to get from her.

“Perhaps…because of the ninth prince,” Shi Baojing said with uncertainty.

She just guessed because Mo Junzhan quarreled with Concubine Tao as soon as he came back.

The mother and son closed the door and had a quarrel, and the people outside could only hear some screams occasionally from the room but couldn’t hear what they were talking about.

Then Mo Junzhan left the imperial palace and went to Moon Mountain, while Concubine Tao looked worried and came to see Shi Baojing, asking her maid Xia Liang to go to see Shi Qingxue.

After hearing the cause and effect, Shi Qingxue still felt doubtful.

She pursed her lips and wanted to ask more, while a maid knocked at the door. “Your Highness, Concubine Tao asked you to see her.”
