Following.

Early in the morning, the Chu family sent someone to Furong Garden to send a message to Mu Qingyue, asking her not to forget today's banquet.

So, Mu Qingyue had to let Xue Xiang dress up herself.

It's not eye-catching, but it's not too understated.

After freshening up, she was ready to head to the front yard.

"Mother." Mu Zixuan trotted in front of her and hugged her legs, "Mother, Zixuan also wants to enter the palace with you." ”

Gently rubbing his little head, Mu Qingyue soothed: "There's nothing fun in the palace, you just stay at home with Xue Xiang obediently." If you feel bored, let Xue Xiang take you shopping. But you have to listen to Yukika, you know? ”

Although a little reluctant, Mu Zixuan still nodded and agreed, and silently sent her legs away: "Okay, Zixuan listens to her mother." ”

"My Zixuan is the most well-behaved, obediently listen to Xuexiang's words, and my mother will leave first."

Gently pinching his little face, Mu Qingyue stepped out of the courtyard.

Mu Zixuan turned around and looked at the graceful back of her leaving with a sad face, and her pink little face was about to wrinkle.

Seeing this, Xue Xiang hurriedly came to his side: "Little master, the young lady is on the right track to enter the palace." Let's wait at home for the young lady to come back. ”

With his little head lowered, Mu Zixuan turned around and walked towards the room dejectedly.

Secretly slandered in his heart, he really wanted to enter the palace with his mother, and wanted to see what the palace looked like!

……

Mu Qingyue came all the way to the gate of the front courtyard mansion and found that the Chu family and the others were already waiting there.

appeared together, as well as Zhao and Mu Yunlan.

As soon as she saw her coming, Mu Yunlan took the lead in greeting her: "Sister Lobby, you are coming." ”

Mu Qingyue stepped forward and smiled at Mu Yunlan and Zhao: "Second aunt, Yunlan." ”

"Hey, I'm used to pleasing people! It's only been a long time since I've been back, and I've already started to win people's hearts! ”

A very unfriendly voice suddenly sounded, and his tone was full of mockery.

Zhao and Mu Yunlan's faces were a little embarrassed, and they looked at Mu Qingyue with a little worry and apology in their eyes.

But Mu Qingyue always maintained a calm and calm look, and did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation because of these words.

She slowly turned her head and looked at Mu Wanling, who was a few steps away on her right, and the corners of her rosy lips suddenly rose up.

"Second sister, what she said sounds like a lot of resentment?" She said slowly, "I have a good relationship with my second aunt and sister Yunlan, and I'm in the way of you?" ”

Mu Wanling suddenly stopped talking, glaring at her indignantly, her face full of anger.

However, Mu Qingyue smiled even deeper: "What kind of mind do you have, so that you will feel that others are also like that." You say that I please others and win people's hearts, but I'm afraid that you want to win people's hearts, right? It's a pity that you can't even win people's hearts. ”

As she spoke, her eyes when she looked at Mu Wanling were a little disdainful and pitiful, which really made Mu Wanling angry.

"Mu Qingyue, you don't talk nonsense! I don't have the heart of you to win people's hearts! Mu Wanling scolded indignantly.

Mu Qingyue raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, and said casually: "You can't win people's hearts, so naturally you have to show that you don't care." ”

"I didn't!" Mu Wanling became even more anxious, her face turned red, and she defended vigorously.

Mu Qingyue didn't pay attention to her anymore, and arguing with Mu Wanling, a fool, was a waste of time.

But Mu Wanling didn't stop, and her mouth was still chattering.

"Wanling, shut up!" Chu couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded loudly, "What are you yelling about?" What kind of system does it become to be noisy at the gate? ”

Although Mu Wanling was unwilling, she had to swallow her anger back into her stomach, and her eyes were still full of displeasure when she looked at Mu Qingyue.

"It's getting late, get into the carriage and get ready to go." Chu said, walking with Mu Hanyan to the carriage at the front.

Only then did Mu Qingyue notice that there were three carriages parked at the door.

Chu Shi and Mu Hanyan have one, and the second aunt and Yun Lan have one, doesn't that mean that she wants to ride in a carriage with Mu Wanling?

She didn't care, she was afraid that Mu Wanling would not want to.

No, Mu Wanling immediately complained and said, "Madam, am I going to sit in the same carriage as Mu Qingyue?" ”

Chu Shi and Mu Hanyan had already walked to the carriage and were just about to get into the carriage, when they heard her words, the two of them looked back at Mu Wanling in unison.

"Or else?" Chu said, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Mu Wanling didn't notice her impatience: "I don't want to sit in the same carriage with Mu Qingyue!" ”

"That's right, I'm still clean in a carriage by myself." Mu Qingyue said slowly and leisurely.

Mu Wanling didn't follow: "Why do you take a carriage by yourself?" If you want to sit, I'll sit! ”

Mu Qingyue raised the corners of her lips slightly, outlining a cold smile: "It's because you don't want to sit in the same carriage with me, so naturally you should go, right?" I didn't say I didn't want to, why did I leave? ”

"Anyway, I don't care, you go, you go to another carriage!" Mu Wanling began to cheat.

Raising her hand to support her forehead, Mu Qingyue no longer had the patience to argue with Mu Wanling.

The next moment, I saw her suddenly striding towards the second carriage.

Before Mu Wanling could react, she had already gotten into the carriage quickly.

Lifting the curtain of the car, she looked at the angry Mu Wanling outside the car, raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, "First come, first served, since the second sister doesn't want to sit in the same carriage with me, then you can take care of yourself." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mu Wanling to react, she lowered the curtain, leaned back against the wall of the car, and began to close her eyes to recuperate.

Outside the car, Mu Wan was so angry that she was about to go crazy, but she didn't want to sit in the same carriage with Mu Qingyue, so she had to turn to look at Zhao and Mu Yunlan.

"Wanling, why don't you sit with us?" Zhao said loudly, and glanced at Mu Yunlan, signaling her to endure it.

Mu Wanling was naturally very happy, and followed the Zhao mother and daughter into the third carriage.

After everyone got on the car, Chu and Mu Hanyan got into the carriage.

The three carriages set off slowly, all the way to the palace.

The carriage was a little bumpy, and there was a lively noise outside the car, Mu Qingyue slowly opened her eyes, lifted the curtains and looked at the bustling street outside.

I saw the carriage turn a corner after passing through a bustling street, and turn into a spacious but slightly quiet street.

The carriage continued to move forward, and suddenly, Mu Qingyue saw a mansion that was not too gorgeous.

"Proton Mansion?" She whispered, unconsciously conjuring up in her mind the handsome but pale face.

It's a pity that the handsome Feng Gongzi is actually a sick man.

But I don't know, what disease does he have?

……

The carriage continued on and finally arrived at the palace.

After getting off the carriage, everyone was led by the palace maid to the Imperial Garden, where today's banquet was held.

Before entering the Imperial Garden, Mu Qingyue heard a burst of laughter and laughter, thinking that it must be very lively.

After following the maid through a cloister and through an archway, the group finally arrived at the Imperial Garden.

There is a specially carved open space in the Imperial Garden, and at this time, several tables are placed in the open space, on which fruits and sweets are neatly arranged.

At the top is a lavish chair, apparently the Queen's seat.

There were already a lot of people sitting there, everyone was talking to each other, and the scene looked very lively and harmonious.

Seeing the Chu family and others coming, everyone turned their heads to look, and there were people who were familiar with the Chu family, so they hurriedly greeted her.

However, everyone was a little surprised when they saw Mu Qingyue who came together.

Among these people here, there are many people who have attended the old lady's birthday banquet that day, so they naturally recognize Mu Qingyue.

Someone was talking in a whisper: "Isn't the queen inviting a woman who has not yet come out of the cabinet?" This Miss Mu is already a mother, why is she here? ”

"Who knows? Maybe she's cheeky. The Prime Minister's wife is a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person, Miss Mu is cheeky to come, and the Prime Minister's wife has to agree. ”

Although these people were talking in a whisper, their words clearly fell into Mu Qingyue's ears.

Mu Qingyue couldn't help but sneer secretly after hearing this, it seems that this Chu clan is pretending to be quite good, everyone actually thinks that she is a kind-hearted and soft-hearted person!

Her arrival has further set off the goodness of the Chu family, and the magnanimity of the Chu family.

No wonder the Chu family would let her enter the palace for a banquet, it turned out that she had this idea.

But on her face, she pretended not to know anything, and sat down with Chu and the others.

After taking their seats, others came to greet Chu and exchange pleasantries.

The younger generation greeted Mu Hanyan, but no one paid attention to Mu Qingyue.

Mu Qingyue didn't care, but fell freely, when others talked, she ate snacks quietly.

Suddenly, she slowly looked up somewhere.

She had always felt a gaze fall on her, and at first she didn't care, anyway, everyone was curious about her.

But this gaze never left, which made her a little strange.

When she looked up, the other party looked away in a panic and lowered his head to eat a snack, but obviously to cover it up.

Mu Qingyue frowned slightly and looked at each other.

It was a quiet and elegant woman, dressed in a light-colored dress, and she looked very low-key among the well-groomed official women.

She sits quietly in her seat and doesn't take the initiative to talk to anyone.

When others take the initiative to talk to her, she will respond with two sentences, thinking that she should be a very gentle woman.

"That's Su Ruoqing, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion." Mu Yunlan came to her side and whispered to her.

When Mu Qingyue heard this, she nodded knowingly.

It turned out to be the eldest lady of the General's Mansion.

Come to think of it, she is also like everyone else, she is very curious about why she came to the banquet.

Mu Qingyue thought self-deprecatingly in her heart.

Time passed little by little, and almost all the guests who came to the banquet had arrived.

While everyone was talking enthusiastically to each other, a sharp and loud voice suddenly sounded: "The queen mother has arrived—"

Suddenly, everyone stopped talking, got up one after another, and stood with their heads bowed respectfully, and everyone looked respectful.
