Three days later, at the entrance of the princess's mansion.

Mu Qianxia set off from the mansion with a gift carefully prepared for the imperial brother, but he didn't expect to meet Gu Li at the door.

Mu Qianxia asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

Gu Li smiled: "Of course, it's to wait for you, princess?"

"Wait for me? Why? Mu Qianxia asked puzzled.

"Of course, it's about today's emperor's birthday banquet, I am honored to be invited by the emperor to attend this birthday banquet."

"Brother Huang invited you? Why haven't I heard the royal brother mention you before? Do you two know each other well? Mu Qianxia asked.

Gu Li replied lightly: "Not familiar." After speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage of the princess's mansion.

Mu Qianxia saw him enter his carriage and just wanted to call him out, but after thinking about it, after all, they were on the way this time, and he was from her house, so there was no need to avoid suspicion, so he also turned around and sat in.

……

In the carriage, the fine ancient wood exuded a faint scent of sandalwood, mixed with the scent of lighted smoke, and it curled into the nose. With the sound of the wheels of the carriage turning and the clatter of the horses' hooves, the carriage was unusually quiet without a sound.

Mu Qianxia has never liked to ride the carriage very much, the carriage is too bumpy, so she can't help but want to vomit. Whenever she sat in the carriage, she missed the comfort and stability of a modern car.

Gu Li saw that Mu Qianxia was thinking about something on the side, so he took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence in the carriage: "What is the princess thinking?" Could it be that you haven't prepared the emperor's gift?"

Mu Qianxia's thoughts were interrupted, she turned her head to look at Gu Li, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it is estimated that I was called up by Liuli today to make up and caused lack of sleep, so I am a little sleepy." Because today is the royal brother's birthday banquet, she has to wear a dress to attend, so she was called up early by Liuli to dress up, and it took almost two hours.

"I wonder what birthday gift you have prepared for the imperial brother?"

"The Pearl of the Night."

"The Pearl of the Night? But didn't you say that although the royal brother likes expensive gifts, he can't just be perfunctory? Mu Qianxia asked puzzled.

Gu Li explained: "As a retainer of the princess's mansion, it is not appropriate for me to send too expensive, and I can't show that I know too much about the emperor, after all, I am a person from the rivers and lakes."

Mu Qianxia nodded clearly.

Gu Li picked up a piece of writing on the desk and asked, "Is this a gift from you to the emperor?"

Mu Qianxia nodded and replied, "That's right."

"Where did you get that?"

"I wrote it myself, of course." Mu Qianxia said proudly. I think she used to win the first prize in calligraphy at the national level.

Gu Li looked at it carefully and said: "The word princess is magnificent, not like what ordinary women write, the emperor will definitely like it when he reads it."

Mu Qianxia patted him happily on the shoulder, and said approvingly: "It's really the same thing that heroes see."

Gu Li frowned and said, "It's just that the word princess, why have I never seen such a word?"

"I ...... I saw this in an old book before. ”

Gu Li continued to ask, "Oh? It's that ancient book, can you lend it to me?"

Mu Qianxia prevaricated: "It's been too long, I can't remember it clearly, I'll give it to you when I find it later."

Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's eyes for a long time, and said slowly: "Okay."

……

Entering the palace, the little eunuch next to the emperor came over and said that the emperor was now in the imperial study and wanted to meet Mu Qianxia before the banquet, so Mu Qianxia followed.

Mu Qianxia followed the little eunuch in the direction of the imperial study, but the little eunuch took her around a remote place that said it was a path, full of rockeries and trees, which should already belong to the edge of the imperial garden.

Xia Fanyin's face changed slightly, "Father-in-law, it doesn't seem like you are going this way to go to the imperial study, right?" ”

The little eunuch said calmly: "Back to the princess, this is a small road, few people pass by, and there are very few people in the palace who know it, so it's normal that you don't know." ”

Oh?

Mu Qianxia hooked her lips, "Then let's go faster." ”

The little eunuch's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he nodded and smiled at her, "Yes, princess." ”

Mu Qianxia took in his reaction, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was faintly deeper.

When the little eunuch took her to approach the rockery, her eyes flashed with a eager light, and she quickly hid it.

"Princess, please first." The little eunuch made a gesture of invitation, and bent down respectfully with his eyebrows and eyes.

Mu Qianxia nodded and walked over, but he heard a sound in the air quickly, and the air around him seemed to be coming with the force of the wind!

Her eyes narrowed, and she suddenly bent down to dodge the blow, and then quickly turned around and clasped the little eunuch's hand. Fortunately, she had learned a little taekwondo in her previous life, and she had already taken precautions, and the eunuch took it lightly, so she was able to quickly subdue her.

In the shocked eyes of the other party, he directly pressed the person against the wall, "Say, what do you want to do?" ”

The little eunuch looked confused, when did the eldest princess's reaction and skills be so good?

"Princess, princess!" He hurriedly explained, "The minion just saw a mosquito flying over, so he wanted to give it to you......"

"Hehe, you can't be a fool for me? Where did you get the confidence that I would believe what you say? ”

Mu Qianxia interrupted him impatiently, and kicked him directly on the knee, and the little eunuch who was hurting screamed, "You are the person next to my imperial brother, yes, this princess has seen you." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the minion is indeed the emperor's ......"

"But my imperial brother won't let you sneak attack me for no reason." Mu Qianxia didn't give him a chance to speak at all, "So you should have betrayed my imperial brother at the behest of others, right?" ”

The little eunuch's face turned blue and white for a while, "What the slave hasn't done, princess, don't talk nonsense!" ”

She smiled lightly and hooked her lips, "You dare to shout at this princess like this, and at the same time dare to betray my imperial brother, I think the power behind you is not small." ”

The little eunuch gritted his teeth, "Princess! ”

Mu Qianxia didn't say a word, pressed him to the ground and beat him.

Mu Qianxia was tired, finally stopped, and said faintly: "Have you thought about whether you want to explain?" If you haven't thought about it, this princess is also tired, so she has to send you to my royal brother, and when the time comes, it won't be as simple as me beating you......"

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Slave...... The minion has thought about it, what is the minion...... Say anything. ”
