In a blink of an eye, it is August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to the past practice, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was held in the palace, and officials and marquis in Beijing could bring their families to participate.

Chu Mu wanted to bring Ruan Tang with him, but Ruan Tang didn't want to attend with him as his female companion.

In the end, he had to let her dress up as a little servant next to him and take her into the palace with him.

In the evening, the carriage in which the two of them rode departed from King Ning's Mansion and headed towards the palace.

Sitting in the carriage, Chu Mu's eyes were always on Ruan Tang, Ruan Tang was awkward by him, and he lowered his head from time to time to see if there was something wrong with him?

In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked, "Is it ugly?" Why do you keep looking at me? ”

Chu Mu shook his head, "It's not ugly, but it has a different flavor." ”

Although she is wearing a small dress, she has a graceful posture, even if she has tied her chest, she still looks graceful, and her waist, under the binding of the belt, looks more slender.

Her hair was all coiled up and hidden in a small hat, revealing her delicate facial features, so she was a little clear and handsome, without the temperament of a small girl.

He suddenly felt that she was even more unsafe dressed like this.

If she is dressed as a woman, he can still hold her all the time, even if someone covets her, he will not dare to be blatant.

But if she was just a small guy next to him, everyone's eyes would be much bolder when they looked at her.

There may also be some men with quirks who are eyeing her, after all, it is rare to see a small guy with such long thin skin and tender flesh as her.

"Otherwise, you better change back into women's clothes, so that this king can protect you."

"I don't want it."

Wearing women's clothes, isn't that another way to announce that she is his woman? She didn't want to attract hatred, after all, there were many women who loved him, and she had already seen it at the last flower viewing banquet, and she didn't want to affect his future marriage.

"Then when you enter the palace, remember to follow the king closely, and don't run around and look around."

Ruan Tang nodded.

"The palace is not as good as the outside, there are many palaces, if you accidentally make a mistake, maybe this king can't find you."

Ruan Tang nodded again, but in his heart he thought he was verbose.

Soon the carriage arrived at the palace gate, where many carriages had gathered, all lined up at the palace gate for interrogation.

King Ning's carriage, the guards guarding the palace gate knew about it, and they quickly let it go.

When the two arrived at the palace, Chu Mu took Ruan Tang to the palace of the Empress Dowager first.

In the past few days, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the Empress Dowager moved back to the palace from the palace in advance, preparing to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to return to the palace.

After the two arrived at Shou'an Palace, Ruan Tang refused to go in and had to wait for him at the door.

Chu Mu had no choice but to go in alone to ask his mother for peace.

But after he finished asking for peace, he found that his mother's eyes had been looking behind him.

After a while, he spoke: "Didn't Ruan Tang come?" ”

"I'm here, I'm sorry to come in, I'm waiting at the gate of the palace."

"What's so embarrassing? This place is not another place, there are not so many rules, you hurry up and bring someone in for me. ”

Last time she had agreed, and when they returned from the Western Regions, she would give them a marriage.

But later, she didn't let her, and she had to wait for Ruan Tang to marry him willingly.

She knew that her son had a deep love for Ruan Tang, and she was happy to see it, so she naturally liked Ruan Tang more and more.

Chu Mu had no choice but to fold out again and come to Ruan Tang.

"Hello so soon? You don't have to talk to your queen mother a few more words. ”

Chu Mu shook his head, "No, it's the queen mother who wants to see you." ”

"Want to see me? You told her I was here too? ”

Ruan Tang didn't want to see the Empress Dowager at all, what if he saw her and gave him a marriage? So what should she do?

Refuse in front of her, in case she is unhappy, a decree can make her head different.

didn't refuse, she didn't want to marry herself like this.

At least now, she doesn't want to get married.

Although these days of getting along, Chu Mu is good to her, she also sees it in her eyes.

But she couldn't marry her just because he was kind to her.

In her, marriage requires two people to love each other.

Does she love Chumu? At least she knows that she doesn't love him now, but she doesn't reject him so much, at most, she may like him a little.

But it didn't get to the point where he had to.

What's more, she also plans to go back to the northwest with Mogg and Tana in some time.

Now Mo Ge is mixing well in the government, it is said that he will participate in the scientific examination in the spring of next year, and his intention is to enter Dali Temple.

Ruan Tang knew that he wanted to investigate the case of Chattana's parents, so he was very supportive of her decision.

"When this king entered the palace, she naturally guessed that I would bring you."

Ruan Tang had no choice but to follow him into Shou'an Palace.

She followed behind Chu Mu, the Empress Dowager didn't notice her at first, but after looking at her for a while, she found that she was wearing a small dress.

Ruan Tang walked in front of her and knelt down to salute, "The people knock on the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager is blessed with Jin'an." ”

The Empress Dowager got up from the phoenix chair and squatted down to help her.

"There are no outsiders here, and the next time you see the mourning family, you don't have to make such a big gift."

"Empress Dowager Xie." Ruan Tang stood up with her hand.

But in the next second, she was pulled by the Empress Dowager to the phoenix chair, and just when the Empress Dowager was about to pull her to sit down together, Ruan Tang hurriedly took two steps back, and then bowed.

"The Empress Dowager, I ......"

The Empress Dowager knew what she was afraid of, so she had to speak softly, "It's okay, sit with the mourning family for a while." ”

Ruan Tang was frightened and glanced at Chu Mu, and after Chu Mu nodded, she sat down tremblingly.

"Last time, you helped Mu Er find medicine to relieve his Gu poison, and the mourning family still hasn't thanked you properly."

Ruan Tang hurriedly shook his head, "Your Highness is blessed, and the people don't dare to take credit." ”

"But it's still your greatest credit, the mourning family has heard what Mu'er said, the mourning family has long wanted to reward you, but Mu'er refuses to bring you to see the mourning family, since you are here today, the reward for you, tomorrow the mourning family will send someone to your house."

"There is also this blood jade bracelet, which is the most supportive, and the mourning family will also give it to you." As he spoke, he took off the bracelet on his wrist and brought it directly to Ruan Tang's wrist.

Where did Ruan Tang dare to accept it, and hurriedly took it off.

"You can keep what the queen mother gave you, or she will think that you dislike her things."

When Ruan Tang heard this, he didn't take it off, and looked at Chu Mu with some indignation.

Chu Mu was in a better mood when he saw her deflated.

"Well, take it, there are a lot of these things in the mourning family, take it alone, it's not fun, you share some for the mourning family, and the mourning family is still happy."

Ruan Tang bent his lips and smiled a little awkwardly.

The Empress Dowager pulled Ruan Tang and said a lot of words before going to the banquet with them.

And the banquet is already full of clothes and sideburns at this moment, and the smell of wine is permeated.

Most of the officials and noble marquis came.

When everyone saw the Empress Dowager and King Ning appear, they all knelt down and saluted.

After Chu Mu shouted the salute, everyone got up and found a place to sit down.

At the same time, a pretty figure also came to them, it was the county lord of Jingning, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.
