Prince's Mansion. Mu Xiwan leaned on the soft couch to read, Mei'er sat on the side and bowed her head to embroider, and the room was quiet.

"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness sent someone to spread the word that you will enter the palace for a banquet tonight, and the emperor will see off the prince and the prince. Please get ready. ”

Chu Er walked in with a happy face. Mu Xiwan glanced at her lightly, and turned the page of the book with her slender hand: "Well, I know, you go down." ”

Chu'er retreated, and Mei'er got up and looked at her: "What does that lady want to wear?" The slave and maid went and got ready. "Don't bother, just pick a palace banquet to wear."

Mei'er went to prepare in response, but Mu Xiwan's thoughts had already drifted elsewhere, Qi Ke was finally leaving, and she didn't have to bother to play with him, she was really tired.

The banquet of the palace is set up in the beautiful scenery of the Qingluan Palace, there is a lotus pond outside the hall, and the lotus flowers are blooming just right now. Important banquets in the palace were held here.

"It's dark, watch your step." When he was about to go up the steps, Feng Chengyi reminded him warmly.

Mu Xiwan's heart warmed slightly, and he said "um" softly. The two walked side by side into the temple. Everyone sat down, and the palace maids rushed in to serve delicious food and wine.

Mu Xiwan took a sip of the teacup on the table, and raised her eyes to meet the eyes of Qi Ke who was sitting opposite.

He smiled at her, and Mu Xiwan also showed a faint smile, only feeling uncomfortable in his heart. Wen Zhihe sat on the seat and kept looking at Feng Chengyi.

She dressed up carefully today, wearing delicate jewelry in her hair, especially the golden hairpin, which was particularly eye-catching, and a lotus-colored embroidered long skirt made her delicate and moving.

Luohua deliberately flowed ruthlessly, Feng Chengyi sat up straight and didn't even look at her.

"The emperor and queen have arrived!" The muezziness shouted outside the door.

The emperor walked in steadily, with a majestic air. The queen followed him half a step slowly, although she was half old, her charm still existed, and her every move was dignified.

"Attend the emperor, the queen." The crowd saluted.

The two sat down, and the emperor waved his hand: "Flat." Today is a feast for King Ping and the prince, and King Ping and the prince are going to have a good time. ”

King Ping and Qi Ke stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Qi Ke raised his glass: "Your Majesty has been hospitable for many days, and the minister and father have also felt the customs and customs of Darong for several days, and they have seen that the people of Darong live and work in peace and contentment, and the folk customs are simple and very cordial." I hope that the two countries will have good relations and move forward hand in hand in the future. ”

"Shizi said it well! King Ping is really blessed to have such a son. "The emperor was overjoyed and drank Qi Ke's wine. King Ping also smiled in agreement, with a look of pride in his eyes.

Mu Xiwan looked at Qi Ke, he is really a good actor, he is obviously a hypocritical person, but he can always pretend to be virtuous and reasonable, so that everyone will flatter.

Qi Ke poured another glass of wine, got up and smiled at Mu Xiwan: "My sister and her relatives Darong have become the princess of Darong, and I will definitely assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future and handle the affairs of the inner courtyard for him." Be a virtuous and intelligent crown princess. ”

He said this earnestly, and the sentences were all about the advice and teaching of an elder brother to his sister, and he portrayed himself perfectly.

Mu Xi saw that he was going to do a good show tonight, and he was also interested, and he raised his glass and smiled at him: "His Royal Highness the prince's advice, my sister has remembered it, and I will definitely assist His Royal Highness the prince well in the future, and this marriage between Beiyan and Darong will be in vain." ”

"Darong Feng Shui raises people, the prince is gentle, and naturally he will not treat his sister lightly. It's just that for the sake of brotherhood and brotherhood, my sister will inevitably miss her hometown when she leaves her hometown. I also hope that my sister will take care of herself, and write from time to time to tell me that she misses her brother. ”

He smiled brightly, and his eyes were full of a brother's reluctance to his sister.

Everyone was also a little moved, and secretly praised the prince for his love and righteousness. Mu Xiwan only felt disgusting in her heart, Qi Ke's hypocrisy was really beyond her imagination.

She recalls smiling: "Good. Feng Chengyi, who was sitting next to her, did not have a good face, and his eyes were gloomy.

Qi Ke's concern for Mu Xiwan is far more than brother and sister, not to mention that they are only nominal.

But what made him even more angry was Mu Xiwan's Ying Ying smile, her attitude towards Qi Ke was much more enthusiastic than her own.

Thinking of this, he stood up and held the cup in one hand: "The prince's advice and expectations have been received by the crown princess." However, the crown princess is smart and smart, so she naturally knows how to deal with herself, and she also knows how important this marriage between Darong and Beiyan is. The prince doesn't have to ask too much to put pressure on the crown princess. ”

Qi Ke smiled: "The prince pities his sister so much, and the son of this world is also very happy." He sat down.

Jian Ran, who was standing behind Feng Chengyi, had a gloomy face and unkind eyes, only to see Mu Xiwan's eager attitude towards Qi Ke reminded her of her attitude towards Feng Chengyi, and seeing that the prince cared for her so much, she felt even more annoyed, this woman was not serious about His Royal Highness the prince at all, and she clearly had ulterior motives.

She was secretly determined to keep an eye on her every move. Wen Zhihe took in Jian Ran's expression in his eyes, his lips were raised, and Jian Ran's feelings for the prince were really undisguised.

After a toast, the dancers came to the center of the hall, and the sound of silk and bamboo started, and everyone began to eat and watch, and laughed with each other.

After the feast, Wen Zhihe returned to the mansion, thought for a while, and summoned a maid. "You have always been clever, so I will leave this matter to you to do, and if you do it well, you will be rewarded."

She gave a grim smile. The maid was only happy when she heard the reward, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Although the young lady commands, the slave and maid must do it well, and the young lady will not be disappointed." ”

Wen Zhihe showed a grim smile: "I want you to go out and spread the news that the crown princess Mu Xiwan had an affair with Qi Ke, the prince of Beiyan, the more true it is, the better, and don't let people know that it came from our mansion." ”

The goddess of the waiter was frightened and knelt down: "Miss, this is not good, slandering the crown princess is a serious crime, if this is found out, the slave maid will not be able to cut off even a few heads." ”

Wen Zhihe's face was not good, and he was cold: "What, if you offend me, you are not afraid?" You are my slave, and you have to do whatever I tell you to do. Not only do you have to do it, but you can't make a half-spread pool. Otherwise, I'll teach someone to cut off your head and feed it to the dogs. ”

The maid was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she collapsed on the ground, with tears in her eyes: "Miss's order to the slave and maid knows, and the slave and maid will definitely do it well, and will not teach the young lady to be disappointed." ”

"Alright, don't cry here, go and do it, remember my words." Wen Zhihe half-leaned on the soft couch, and said softly, but the maid was frightened.

Brewing staggered out the door.

She picked up the tea on the table and took a leisurely sip, feeling comfortable. Mu Xiwan, this time you will have to suffer some hardships, see how His Highness protects you.
