Although the relationship between the two people has become a little rigid in the past few days, when it comes to entering the palace, the two of them still have to share a car, and they can't let Mu Qing enter the palace alone.

Along the way, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Every time I looked up, I saw Bai Lichen's cold face, and even if I wanted to say something, I swallowed it raw.

In the end, nothing was said, and the two of them went to the palace in silence.

Compared with the last Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, this banquet in the palace was attended by more court ministers who had some meritorious deeds, and most of them were military attachés.

Because of this triumph, the emperor was very pleased, not only holding a banquet to entertain Chu Xuanling, but also rewarding the families of those military attachés whose status and status could not go to the banquet.

"In the palace, don't toss too much, if the queen and others detect it, I can't protect you."

When he was about to get out of the carriage, Bai Lichen, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke coldly, and between his words, he seemed to have known about the meeting between Mu Qing and Chu Xuanling.

"How did you know I was going to meet him today?"

Mu Qing's eyes widened slightly, as if he felt a little incredible.

Is it the heart?

But Xin'er has also been observing for a long time, and she doesn't look like someone from Bailichen's side......

"Do you really want to meet with Chu Xuanling?"

As soon as Bai Lichen's words came out, Mu Qing knew that he had been fooled.

The man just said a few words to herself casually, she really thought that the other party already knew her plan today, and she actually said it in such a daze.

At this time, the two people were getting off the carriage and standing at the palace gate, preparing to take a sedan chair to the banquet, even if Bai Lichen had a breath of anger in his heart, it was not easy to send it out here, so he had to press it down, and his face was even colder.

"I, I didn't mean that, I want to meet him today, but I just want to explain the past things clearly, so as not to be ...... in the future"

Mu Qing explained in a hurry, but Bai Lichen didn't have the patience to listen, so he only turned around and brushed his sleeves and walked in front quietly.

No matter how many times Mu Qing slowed down his voice and shouted, he didn't look back, obviously annoyed.

"Mother's ......"

Xin'er carefully supported Mu Qing behind him.

"It's okay, let's go in, after the banquet is over for a while, you just do what I told you before, don't let people see it, otherwise if you are stabbed to the queen's side, I don't think there will be a good life."

After the previous two incidents, the queen hated Mu Qing completely, and even when she saw Mu Qing at the banquet, she didn't have a good face.

She looked at the queen's quenched poisonous gaze, and always felt a tremor in her heart.

If it weren't for the identity of the third princess, I'm afraid she would have died in the hands of the queen I don't know how many times.

……

"Today is General Chu's celebration banquet, you Aiqing don't have to be restrained, let go, I am really happy in my heart."

The emperor above drank the wine on the table very heroically, and heard that when he was young, the emperor also fought with the first emperor in all directions.

It's just that I'm still old now, and I must have remembered the past time, and I can't help but feel some emotion in my heart.

Look at Chu Xuanling sitting at the bottom, young and heroic, after the edges and corners of his face have been carved by the wind and sand at the border, what is revealed is a better calmness.

It is no wonder that many of the girls in the capital rushed to marry the young general's mansion and become the general's wife.

Even I heard that the concubine of the Shen family had a good impression of this Chu Xuanling.

When it comes to the Shen family, Shen Shuang'er is here today, but she didn't have the trouble of finding Mu Qing like last time, she just sat there quietly, looking at her face as usual.

"I must have been warned by Lord Shen, so I was relieved a lot."

Mu Qing lowered his voice and wanted to say a few words to Bai Lichen on the same side, but he just picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip slightly, just ignoring half a sentence.

The hot face sticks to the cold hand, she gets tired of doing it twice, no matter what, she still has to go to see Chu Xuanling once, it's a big deal to wait until she gets the jade pendant back, and then explain it well.

After three rounds of drinking, not only the officials who were not strong enough to drink were a little drunk, but the emperor above was also a little drunk, and the banquet became more and more lively.

Mu Qing only felt bored, she had never liked this kind of occasion, it was noisy and irritable, which made people bored.

"I'll go out for a walk."

Mu Qing simply got up and left the position, leaving only Bai Lichen with a word, Bai Lichen's face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything in the end.

Seeing this, Danqing, who entered the palace with Bai Lichen, pretended to pour wine and whispered in his ear.

"Your Highness, do you want someone to follow you and have a look?"

In his eyes, His Royal Highness still cares about this Miss Mu family, and only after Mu Wan came to make trouble a few days ago, he had a cold attitude towards her.

"Not necessarily."

The voice is hard, if you say you care, it seems too cold, but if you don't care, it's a little too blunt.

Xin'er has followed Mu Qing since she was a child, and when she met Chu Xuanling in private, Xin'er was mostly matchmaking, but now it is easy to ask someone out.

There is no one in the pavilion in the imperial garden today, and the banquet is at the head, and no palace people will come to this place, so Mu Qing made an appointment here.

She came out first, and she waited here for about a quarter of an hour, and Chu Xuanling over there was late.

Looking at the stunning beauty sitting alone under the moon, her face was slightly red because of drunkenness, reflecting the moonlight above, which made Chu Xuanling feel a little trance for a while.

He didn't think that Mu Qing was like a fairy in the moonlight, so that people couldn't take their eyes off.

In the past, she was beautiful and beautiful, but she was lifeless by the Mu family, and when she thought about coming back, she married Mu Qing, but she was also pitiful for being tortured by her family.

"You're looking for me?"

He wanted to say more, but when he finally spoke, all he could say was these three simple words.

"Huh? The general was late. ”

Mu Qing did not deliberately avoid suspicion, nor did he appear too intimate, only smiled slightly and saluted politely.

"I've seen the general."

She was originally the third princess, and the identities of the two of them were indistinguishable, but since Mu Qing saluted first, it represented her respect for Chu Xuanling.

It's just that before this respect, there is a little more alienation.

"You and I don't have to be so polite."

Although Chu Xuanling saw this unfamiliarity, she also thought that she was just marrying the third prince suddenly, and she was inevitably a little hesitant in her heart.

I didn't expect that Mu Qing looked at him and no longer had the foolish love he had in the past.

"General Chu, now I am the third imperial concubine, although I had a fate with General Chu when I was young, but now it has dissipated, in the past, there was a mother's relic jade pendant to give to the general, and now the general and I are very special, if someone spreads rumors, it must be bad."

Mu Qing still had a decent smile on his face.

Chu Xuanling's face was handsome, and his expression was at least much kinder than that of the three princes, Bai Lichen.

Since ancient times, military attachés have always been more straightforward, and this is true.

If it weren't for the fact that the original owner had a relationship with him, Mu Qing might still have a good impression of him.

Listening to Xin'er talk about the past, Mu Qing looked at Chu Xuanling's face again, and always felt a little unhappy.

If she had married the original Mu Qing earlier, she would not have thought of committing suicide because of this ridiculous marriage, but would have cheapened her own soul.

"In that case, if it's convenient for the general, please return the jade pendant, the past between me and the general in the past is only as if it didn't happen."

Through drunkenness, Mu Qing's words were a little straighter.

"If I'm not mistaken, the general didn't like me, did he? The general only regarded me as a friend, or a little sister in the family, and the reason why he accepted my jade pendant was just because he thought that it would be good to be a husband and wife who respected each other in the future, and in this case, the current result may not be bad. ”

Chu Xuanling, who was poked in his heart, was a little embarrassed for a while, he didn't expect that his thoughts had been seen through by Mu Qing.

He really didn't like Mu Qing like a man and a woman.

I thought that when she came over today, she would cry and say some pitiful words just like when she was mistreated by the elders in the family in the past, but she didn't expect that there was no trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Since this is the case, it is naturally the best, but this jade pendant is precious, I will not wear it on my body all the time, and it will be okay to return it in the future?"

"Then trouble the general."

Mu Qingying gave a salute, seeing that her goal had been achieved, she didn't say much to Chu Xuanling, turned around and left.

It was Chu Xuanling, who stayed in place alone and stood there for a long time.

He didn't understand why he had chosen to lie.

He obviously wore the jade on his body, although it was not easy to hang it directly, but he also put it in the sachet.

If Fang just took it out directly, he would have cut off Mu Qing, who liked to pester himself in the past.

When I thought about marrying Mu Qing, wasn't it because there was no way to be entangled?

"General, the emperor saw that you hadn't gone back for a long time, so he asked at the banquet."

I don't know how long I sat there, but two eunuchs hurriedly came over, saying that the emperor saw that Chu Xuanling had disappeared for so long, and asked at the banquet.

Only then did he retract his thoughts, nodded, and went back with the two eunuchs.

When I went back, I found that Mu over there came back early in the morning, and the two of them didn't even make eye contact.

Only the three princes, Bai Lichen, looked at Chu Xuanling's gaze a little badly.

"What's wrong with the general, why have you been there for so long, I'm afraid it's not that I can't drink here, so I'm going to hide from the wine."

The emperor didn't care too much, and teased a few words, this matter can be regarded as exposed, but who knew that the jade princess stood up instead.

"Father, just now I looked, the third imperial concubine seems to have been gone for a long time."

The meaning of these words could not be more obvious, and for a while, everyone's eyes were on Mu Qing's body.

The banquet was quiet for a while.
