The dinner was about to begin, and fireworks were set off in the Imperial Garden, and the colorful fireworks rose into the air, then expanded rapidly, and then slowly dispersed, one by one rushing into the sky, causing a burst of cheers from everyone.

Mu Huanyan looked up at the sky rendered by the fireworks, and the past came back to her heart. On his first birthday with Ling Mo, he blindfolded her with a silk handkerchief, saying that he wanted to surprise her, and when Ling Mo stood behind her and uncovered the silk handkerchief, he was greeted by brilliant fireworks blooming in the sky. She was surprised and delighted, and threw herself into Ling Mo's arms, she thought she was the happiest woman in the world.

Ling Mo whispered in her ear, "I know you like to watch fireworks, and I will take you to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the most beautiful fireworks in Shengguo in the future." ”

The fireworks in the palace were naturally the best in the entire Sheng Kingdom, but she didn't wait for the day when Ling Mo set off fireworks for her in the imperial garden.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to see Ling Mo not far away, he was sitting there quietly, drinking the wine in the cup one by one, without any expression on his face, he was a person who was good at forbearance.

After Ling Mo drank a few glasses, his head was raised, just opposite Mu Huanyan's gaze, and he saw her eyes, not the same hatred as before, but with some resentment.

Ling Mo couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, why did Mu Huanyan always look at him like this, he had tried to remember it countless times, but he couldn't find this woman in the long river of his memory.

At this time, the prince did not hurriedly walk out and searched for Mu Huanyan's figure in the crowd.

Ling Mo saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing in the center of the crowd at a glance.

Ling Ran couldn't help but cough lightly twice, and when he saw Mu Huanyan, he walked towards her. Mu Jinge watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get closer and closer to him, and his heart was like a deer.

However, Ling Ran walked to the front of the table, but there was only room for Mu Huanyan in his eyes, he smiled, like the sunshine of spring, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

When Mrs. Mu saw the prince, she hurriedly smiled and said to Mu Huanyan: "Huanyan, don't thank the prince quickly, today he is struggling to save you." ”

Ling Ran coughed a few more times.

Mu Huanyan raised his eyebrows. Quickly stood up with a wine glass. said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, thank you for your concern for me, I respect you for this cup." ”

The eunuch serving next to him immediately poured a glass of wine for the prince. The two clinked glasses. I drank a glass of wine.

"His Royal Highness the Prince. You seem to have a cold, the night is cold, you should pay attention to your body. Mu Jinge said with concern. Ling Ran saw her seeing the prince's concerned eyes, and there was a slight anger in her heart, and she grabbed the wine glass on the table and walked over.

"Big brother, why are you catching a cold?" Mu Huanyan fell into the water, Ling Ran didn't know that he was accompanying Ye Shaofan, the prince of Anguo, at that time.

Ling Mo suddenly appeared, and Mu Huanyan immediately raised his vigilance.

When Mu Jinge saw Ling Mo appear, he sat there upright, no longer looking at the prince.

"I saw someone falling into the water in the lotus pond, so I went down to look for it, but I didn't find it, but I caught a cold, which is really embarrassing."

"Someone overboard?" Ling Mo was puzzled.

"It was I who was watching fish by the lotus pond and accidentally fell into the water, which made the three princes smile?"

Xiao Xuan sat alone, and when he saw that the two princes were going to surround Mu Huanyan, he felt very uncomfortable, so he also came over to join in the fun.

"My mother likes Miss Mu very much, and occasionally invites Miss Mu into the palace to chat and relieve boredom in the future, I wonder if Miss Mu can appreciate her face?"

"Second prince, don't say that, Concubine Jing is my life-saving benefactor, how can I appreciate my face or not, as long as Concubine Jing is in need, I will come with the call."

Hearing the words of the second prince, Ling Mo finally understood that Mu Huanyan fell into the water and was saved by Concubine Jing.

"Second brother, why did you come out? Is your body better? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked with concern.

Xiao Xuan was specially sorted out before he went out, his face still looked very pale, his whole life was not angry enough, he looked sick, and his body was mixed with the smell of medicine.

"Second brother, what the eldest brother said is that your body should recuperate."

"I've been bored for a long time, it's rare to be so lively today, so I thought about coming out to see and see, but I didn't expect to recognize two beauties at once."

When Mu Jinge heard this, his face was shy, and his head hung down slightly.

When Queen Du saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing in front of Mu Huanyan's table, she pursed her red lips lightly, and said to Mama Zhou beside her, "Go and call the prince to the palace." ”

"Yes."

Mama Zhou walked up to the prince, bowed, and whispered, "Your Royal Highness the prince, the queen mother, please come over." Ling Ran glanced back at Empress Du, she smiled at him, and then Ling Ran said goodbye to a few people and walked towards Empress Du.

Mu Jinge immediately raised her head, watching Ling Ran leave like this, she couldn't help but feel sorry in her heart, although she quickly moved her gaze, but these small movements still fell into Ling Mo's eyes.

cough cough cough ......

Xiao Xuan coughed a few times in a row, and Ling Mo hurriedly said, "Second brother, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm fine, it's all the same old problem, I'm a little tired, just take the first step, third brother, you have fun." Xiao Xuan nodded goodbye, and then left.

Everyone had dispersed, and it didn't make sense for Ling Mo to continue standing here, he said a few words of concern to Old Madam Mu, and then found a reason to return to his seat.

Ling Ran arrived in front of Empress Du, and Empress Du smiled and asked him to sit next to him.

"Queen Mother, what are you looking for your son?"

"In front of the public, what do you mean when you walk in front of the two young ladies of the Mu family? You are the crown prince, and your every move is watched by others, if this makes people think about it......"

Before Empress Du could finish speaking, Ling Ran continued, "Queen Mother, Erchen is just going to care about Miss Mu's situation, after all, I saw her fall into the water with my own eyes today, and I am also very worried about her situation. ”

"The queen mother knows that you are kind-hearted, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, and the more terrible Miss Mu is a coffin boy and an ominous person, you must not get too close to her, so as not to provoke bad luck and affect your fortune."

Seeing that the queen mother said this, Ling Ran felt very uncomfortable, "Mother, what about the coffin boy, when Xiangguo came to make a big fuss in the court, but she stood up and solved the difficulties for Sheng Guo, such a wise woman, her sons can learn more things when they are close to her." ”

"Nonsense, there are a lot of people here now, the queen mother doesn't want to say anything more, the banquet will end in a while, you go to Jiaofang Palace, the mother concubine has something to tell you clearly."

Queen Du's face turned sideways, she didn't speak anymore, Ling Ran's hands were held together, what if she was a coffin boy? I love her, just for who she is, not for who she is. Huan Yan, even if everyone dislikes you, I, Ling Ran, still regard you as a treasure!

The guests were full of wine and food, the play on the stage had been sung, the ceremonial officer announced the successful end of the banquet, and everyone got up and left together.

Mrs. Chen came over and said to Mrs. Mu: "Mother-in-law, Jin Ge hasn't been a guest in Chen's Mansion for a long time, and I miss the people she accompanies me very much, and I want to take her to our house for a few days, is it okay?" ”

"Grandmother, grandmother, she also likes me to be by her side, I have been waiting by my grandmother's side these days, and when I have time, I will visit my grandmother in person." Mu Jinge's words made the old lady feel a little uncomfortable, didn't talking to the old lady Chen like this make him mean to her? There are so many maids and mothers-in-law in Mufu, and they have to let their granddaughters serve.

"Jin Ge, since your grandmother wants you to go to Chen's house for a few days, you can just go, there are more maids and wives around me, and they often come to relieve my boredom with Huanyan, so you don't have to worry so much, have fun."

Seeing that Mrs. Mu agreed, Mrs. Chen immediately laughed and said, "My mother-in-law is really a reasonable person, then I will take Jin Ge in my carriage and leave first." ”

"Go ahead."

"Grandmother, you have to pay more attention to your body." Before Mu Jinge left, he still looked reluctant.

There were fewer and fewer people in the imperial garden, until they completely dispersed, and Mu Huanyan had already taken the carriage back to his home.

At this moment, Ling Ran had already been invited to Jiaofang Palace by Empress Du.

Empress Du sat on the Arhat bed in the main hall, invited Ling Ran to sit on the other side of the coffee table, and looked at him lovingly, "The emperor of this palace has grown so big in the blink of an eye, time flies so fast, you are older, and this palace will be old." ”

"Where does the queen mother say, you are still beautiful."

"You did the gift of a weak crown at the beginning of this year, and it's time to get married, your father is busy with political affairs, and he hasn't mentioned this matter, this palace is very worried, thinking that it can't be delayed any longer, so he is trying to find a family affair for you, according to the son-in-law of the past, at this time he is holding a white and fat boy."

"The queen mother, the sons don't want to marry yet."

"Nonsense, your father and emperor have given marriage to the third prince, and he is still one year younger than you, this palace is not asking for your consent to tell you about this today, but to inform you, so that you can be prepared. Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, you have always been a knowledgeable person, you are the son of this palace, but you are also the prince, this palace is the queen, do you want to force this palace to make a decree? ”

Empress Du saw that Ling Ran cared so much about Mu Huanyan today, and she felt that this marriage could not be delayed any longer.

"Queen Mother, can the sons and daughters think about it again?"

"What is there to consider, this palace has already looked for you, Du Chengxiang's daughter Du Guanyue is the first beauty in the capital, in addition to her appearance in the entire capital, her character and family talent are also among the best, and she is definitely a good match for you!"

Du Guanyue, Ling Ran only felt a buzz in his head, so he didn't want to marry Du Guanyue.

Ling Ran looked at Queen Du seriously, and said word by word: "Queen Mother, if you have to marry your sons, the only person you want to marry is Mu Huanyan!" (To be continued......)
