"Fall?"

Nan Mo thought for a moment, "Do you believe what he said?"

"Mo'er, since this concerns you, I have to believe it."

The phoenix eyes and the peach blossom eyes met, and Nan Mo keenly sensed the forbearance and sadness hidden in his peach blossom eyes.

"Are you ready to accept those so-called marriage proposals?"

Hearing Nan Mo's question, Gong Chenyu turned his head away and lowered his head slightly. He didn't know what was in his mind.

She was obviously extremely jealous of those who were engaged, and didn't want any other man to get close to Nan Mo, let alone enter her tent.

But Ji Chen's confident words made him hesitate for a moment.

If he really eliminated those who had engagements one by one because of his possessiveness and selfish desires, resulting in the death of Nan Mo who awakened the goddess's inheritance, he would regret it deeply.

But how could he share his Moer with others? He couldn't do it, he simply couldn't.

Nan Mo sighed softly, "Why bother yourself with trivial matters?"

She pulled his sleeve and said, "Ji Chen took advantage of this point of yours and said this on purpose. If those people who were engaged were really dealt with, I would die. Then when I was in Jiangnan, I killed the Great Prince of Nanman with my own hands. Does that mean that I am about to die?"

Gong Chenyu was stunned for a moment, half believing and half doubting, "Did Ji Chen really do this on purpose?"

"Whether it is or not will be clear in the future."

Nan Mo took his arm and said gently, "Uncle, you should think about which day would be more suitable for our wedding. You will be busy later."

After saying that, he pulled Gong Chenyu away.

The carriage from Prince You's mansion had already been waiting outside the general's mansion. The two of them got on the carriage and headed towards the palace.

Nan Mo didn't take to heart Ji Chen's words that without those engaged people, the goddess would eventually fall.

After all, the eldest prince of Nanman was also one of the people with an engagement, but he died in her hands. If what Ji Chen said was true, things have come to this point and cannot be undone, so there is no need to worry about something that has not happened.

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was held in the Changqiu Palace.

All officials above the fifth rank were allowed to bring their families into the palace to celebrate the banquet, so some court officials had already come here early to wait, after all, this was a rare opportunity to show off.

Some officials brought almost all the girls of marriageable age from their families, hoping that they would be able to show off their talents at the banquet.

It would be best if I could find a good marriage at this palace banquet. Even if it can't happen right away, being noticed by many families would make it easier to arrange a marriage in the future.

Or if they catch the eye of some noble person, their family will be very prosperous in the future.

Therefore, some smaller officials actually brought all their daughters, both legitimate and illegitimate, with them, as this was a rare opportunity after all.

Apart from the prestigious ministers in the court, only the mistresses and legitimate daughters came with their wives, and as for concubines' daughters, they were not included at all.

Li Man also went to the palace to attend the banquet with General Li and his wife today. She followed Nan Mo's best efforts to pretend that nothing had happened and tried her best to still look cool and simple, but she spoke much less.

Nan Mo and Gong Chenyu separated after entering the palace. Gong Chenyu went to Chongzheng Hall, while Nan Mo took Wen Xiang all the way to Shoukang Palace to pay a visit to the Queen Mother first. She also wanted to know some things from the Queen Mother.

Just as I passed by the Imperial Garden, I heard the sound of a woman crying softly behind the flowers, along with a deep, rich and magnetic young boy's voice.

"I accidentally damaged your handkerchief. I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to embroider a new one and send someone to return it to you. Please make way for me and I will leave first."

"Does it seem so great just because you're the prince? Why are you so arrogant? This handkerchief was embroidered for me by my mother when she was still alive. Can you return me an identical one?"

Hearing the word "Crown Prince", Nan Mo paused and did not leave in a hurry.

He glanced at the mosquito coil behind him.

He understood immediately after smelling the fragrance and left with light steps.

On the other side of the flower cluster, Gong Jin, the crown prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, frowned slightly, and was obviously a little unhappy. However, since he had indeed stepped on the other person's handkerchief by accident, he tried to speak as gently as possible.

"Since it is the relic of your mother, I cannot make it exactly the same. How would you like me to compensate you?"

Hearing this, the woman who had been so arrogant just now changed her expression instantly. She was no longer as aggressive as before, and she just took a step forward delicately.

With red eyes, she said hesitantly, "I don't insist that His Royal Highness pay compensation, it's just... it's just that this handkerchief is the only relic my mother left me, I... I... wuwuwu..."

Gong Jin rubbed his brows. He always hated getting along with girls. Moreover, since he was in a hurry to go to the Empress Dowager, it was really not appropriate for him to linger here any longer.

Then he said to the girl, "I have something important to do first. When you have decided how to make me compensate you, come back to me."

Seeing that Gong Jin was really about to leave, the girl hurriedly stopped him, "No, if His Royal Highness leaves today, I won't be able to find His Royal Highness even if I can think of a way to pay compensation in the future."

Gong Heng paused after taking a step forward, a dark look flashed across his eyes, "What does the girl want?"

"How about...how about His Royal Highness give me a token, so that I can find His Royal Highness smoothly."

On this side, Wen Xiang has come back. After whispering something in Nan Mo's ear, Nan Mo frowned.

Without any hesitation, he walked towards the flowers.

When the girl saw that the prince was slow to give her the token and heard footsteps coming, she twisted the damaged handkerchief in her hands with both hands.

Her voice was filled with grievance and tenderness, "Your Highness, don't you want to compensate me for my handkerchief? That's my mother's..."

If Gong Jin was in a hurry to leave just now, he didn't care about what the strange girl who suddenly appeared in the imperial garden was thinking, because he was too lazy to bother with such a person.

But now, after all the fuss, it was actually just to get his token. How could the token of a crown prince of a country be given casually?

At this moment, he stood there straight, his eyes were cold, and his whole body exuded the nobility and oppression of being a prince.

The girl was getting a little anxious as she waited, her head lowered and her eyes rolling around.

As Nan Mo stepped over the flowers, the girl immediately leaned towards the prince.

Fortunately, the prince had been on guard for a long time.

With a "thump", the girl fell to the ground.

But it did not stop her from continuing her tearful performance, "Your Highness, why are you making things so difficult for Qiong'er? If Qiong'er obeys you, then... wuwuwu..."
