When Mu Qianxia returned to the capital, it was already the afternoon of her second day out of the city. As soon as Fang entered the city, there was a gust of autumn wind blowing the curtain into the carriage, Mu Qianxia quietly went to see the outside of the car, after an autumn rain, the weather finally showed a little coolness, this is a kind of calm after the heat, faded the vitality of spring, bid farewell to the passion and heroism of summer, with a little bit of sadness and melancholy. The breeze stirred up the dust, sand and fallen leaves on the ground, and whirled a little.

There weren't too many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few, all of them walked briskly with their heads bowed and their necks curled.

Back at the gate of the princess's mansion, Liuli led everyone to greet her outside.

As soon as Mu Qianxia got out of the carriage, Liuli greeted him with a smile, lowered her voice, and whispered in Mu Qianxia's ear: "Princess, how are you and Gu Gongzi progressing?" It's all been spent all night together, isn't it a heated feeling? ”

Mu Qianxia slapped her on the head: "Haven't you been idle lately?" Is there too little for you? I like to talk about the master's gossip every day?"

Liuli rubbed the place where she had just been beaten, and said pitifully, "The slave is concerned about you."

Mu Qianxia sneered twice, "Hehe, that's really thankful." ”

…………

Because of Liuli's ridicule just now, Mu Qianxia felt very embarrassed, and walked quietly with Gu Li with her head down. At the fork in the road, he stopped and said, "That ......."

As soon as Mu Qianxia spoke, Gu Li interrupted with a smile and said, "The two days have been tiring, and Princess Xiangbi is already tired, so she will rest today." Tomorrow the Chen Mansion banquet invites us to go together. ”

"Chen Mansion? Banquet? Will you invite us?" Mu Qianxia said in surprise. It was still a tense relationship before, what does this sudden overture mean? According to her understanding of the Chen family, the Chen family is not a generous person who forgets hatred, but they have abolished the Chen family's son-in-law.

"That's why I let the princess rest today, tomorrow's banquet will not be simple, I'm afraid it will take a lot of experience to deal with."

I asked weakly...... Is it okay not to go? ”

"Of course not, otherwise everyone will say that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is above the top and unruly, and she doesn't even care about the Chen family, and when the time comes, the Chen family will add fuel to the fire, princess, I am afraid that you have already stood on the opposite side of the three major families, and I am afraid that the future will be even more sad." Therefore, even if it is a Hongmen banquet, we have to go to it. ”

"......" The Chen family is really a good plan, let her fall into a dilemma, stretching out her head is a knife, shrinking her head is also a knife, since this is the case, it is better to go to the meeting for a while, she wants to see what kind of means the Chen family will use to deal with them.

Mu Qianxia frowned and smiled bitterly, "Okay." ”

Ever since she came into the world, it felt like she hadn't stopped for a day. In fact, she was still very excited when she first came through, after all, she was a princess, she stretched out her hands for clothes, opened her mouth for food, and was favored by her royal brother, so she could enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. But who would have thought that such a good life did not last long, all kinds of assassinations, kidnappings, frame-ups, etc. followed, she only hopes that she can live safely now, and she does not dare to have higher extravagance for others.

Hey, she is such a hard-working child, she wants to hug herself in distress.

Gu Li saw that Mu Qianxia's face was full of distress and melancholy, and thought that she was worried about tomorrow's banquet, so she couldn't help but speak, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, princess, with me by your side, I will definitely not let you have anything to do."

Mu Qianxia raised his head and looked directly into Gu Li's eyes, as if looking into the depths of his heart. She smiled sweetly and said, "Okay." Gu Li's body seemed to have a kind of magic that could make her settle down, as long as he was by her side, she would never be afraid.

…………

The Chen Mansion held a grand banquet today, inviting officials of all sizes in the court, from the crown prince to the other two major families, and even many princes and princesses came to participate, which can be described as a grand limelight.

From the moment the two of them stepped in, everyone's eyes were focused on them and never looked away.

Mu Qianxia is wearing a moon-white dress today, on which the dark brown silk thread is embroidered on the fabric with strange and strong branches, and the peach-colored silk thread embroiders a blooming plum blossom, extending from the skirt to the waist, a wide purple belt tightens the thin waist, showing a slender figure, giving people an elegant and luxurious feeling.

Gu Li was wearing a snow-white straight-placked robe, the drape of the clothes was excellent, and the waist was tied with a wide belt with moon white auspicious cloud patterns, and only a piece of ink jade with excellent jade quality hung on it, the shape seemed rough but simple and gloomy. The black hair was tied with a silver ribbon at will, without a crown or hairpin, and a few strands of hair on the forehead were scattered by the wind, intertwined with the silver ribbon and flying, looking quite light.

The two of them stood together, like a perfect picture, the man was gentle and elegant, the woman was charming, and even the surrounding flowers and plants lost their color in front of them. Everyone present held their breath, for fear that they would accidentally ruin such a beautiful picture.

Chen Chen, who was standing in the crowd, had a look of jealousy written on his face, and the hand hidden in his sleeve couldn't help but clench into a fist, until the stinging pain from his palm made her palm loosen slightly. At this moment, there was a voice in her heart shouting: The woman standing next to Gu Li can only be her, and no one else is worthy.

…………

Mu Qianxia found that the Chen family's banquet was still quite high-end, not the kind of normal banquet with one table per person, but a kind of buffet similar to a modern buffet party, with a special area for placing various delicacies, and anyone who was hungry and wanted to eat could go over and take it by themselves.

Mu Qianxia looked for food for a long time, and when she saw Shuofeng coming, she took the initiative to make room for them with an apple in her mouth. She has always known that you should never listen to what you shouldn't hear, and don't be curious about what you shouldn't know. Like Gu Li, who is mysterious and incomprehensible, there must be a lot of secrets, and these secrets are all secrets that she can't know.

Gu Li looked at Mu Qianxia's dashing back and left, his eyes were deep and complicated. It wasn't until the wind arrived that he slowly withdrew his gaze.

"How's Bai Zhi's preparation?"

There are many guests in the Chen Mansion today, and the defense of the study will definitely be a little lax, if she can successfully get the account book of the Chen Mansion, then the Chen Mansion will not be able to withstand these two days.

"Hui Gongzi, everything is ready." Shuofeng said respectfully.

Gu Li frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The head of the Chen family, that is an old fox, the important things must be well hidden, Bai Zhi may not be able to find them." Tell her that if you can't find it, you don't have to look for it, and don't reveal your identity until you have to. ”

"Yes."

Shuo Feng was a little worried, "If you can't find it, I will have someone implement plan two at noon tomorrow, and please rest assured." ”

…………

Mu Qianxia found a corner where no one was, and when he was about to find some staple food to eat after eating the apple, he was bumped by someone from behind.

"Oops, damn it!"

When she turned around, the maid had already fallen to her knees with a thud, and kept saying, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slave really didn't mean it!" The slave really didn't mean it! She knelt on the ground and trembled slightly, as if she was terrified.

Mu Qianxia is wearing a moon-white dress today, so when the skirt is stained with black and brown stains, the traces are especially obvious.

Mu Qianxia frowned and said, "It's okay, you go down first." ”

The little maid said timidly: "If you let Lord Chen know, you will definitely beat the slave to death." Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, you better go and change your clothes. ”

Mu Qianxia's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'll tell them that I accidentally made it myself, and I won't implicate you." ”

The little girl's eyes flashed, and she continued without giving up: "But ...... But if it is ...... If it is found out, the slave will still ......"

"Ah, that's it, that's okay." Mu Qianxia suddenly interrupted, and said with a smile: "But where should I go to change my clothes, I don't come to this Chen Mansion often, and I am not very familiar with the terrain here, so it is better to ...... How about you take me? ”

The little maid looked at her in a daze, probably not expecting her to agree so easily.

Until Mu Qianxia lifted her clothes and helped her up from the ground, saying, "Let's go, don't delay time on your knees." Then she came back to her senses.

The little maid bowed her head and respectfully led the way in front and led her to the backyard.

She was really unfamiliar with the terrain of Chen's Mansion, and according to her memory, she had only been there once when she participated in the poetry meeting.

When they gradually walked inside, they passed through several courtyards, namely the main courtyard, the study and Chen Lan's courtyard, Mu Qianxia wrote them all down one by one, until finally came to the courtyard where Chen Chen lived before.

The little maid said respectfully: "Princess, this is where the eldest lady of our family used to live, and there are still a lot of new clothes in the closet that have not been worn, if you don't dislike it, you can change it to a new one, and the slave will go and wash your clothes now, and I can send you back to the princess's mansion tomorrow." ”

Mu Qianxia looked at her with a smile, "You let me wear your young lady's clothes without authorization, and I won't be punished if I am known?" Or are the rules in your house always loose?"

The little girl smiled reluctantly, "No...... No, Miss has changed her yard now, and rarely comes back here. ”

"Oh? So according to what you mean, this dress is stolen by this princess? ”

"Princess!" The little maid was shocked, immediately knelt down, kept kowtowing, and said, "Slave maid...... Slave really doesn't mean that, slave and maid...... The slave and maid will go to ask the master for a while! ”

"Okay, okay, I don't really want to blame you, after all, you are also out of a good intention."

Mu Qianxia waved her hand indifferently and said, "You go out first, and the princess will come out after a while."

"Yes." The little maid timidly retreated.
