For a moment, the hall was completely silent. The emperor's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. All the officials dared not even breathe, for fear of offending the emperor. Mu Jingxuan hid behind the curtain, looking at the scene in front of him, and his heart was also at a loss.

Unexpectedly, the maid behind her suddenly pushed her, and she was exposed in front of everyone. When everyone saw Mu Jingxuan appeared, they all focused their attention on her. Mu Jingxuan felt very embarrassed, but she had to express herself in this scene, so she could only pretend to wipe her tears with her sleeves, and then hurried out of the hall.

Seeing this, the little maid hurriedly chased after him, but Mu Jingxuan didn't want to see her. Every time her plot was pushed forward, it seemed that she couldn't do without the little maid's help. However, Mu Jingxuan also knew that she was now in this secret space and time, and had to follow the guidance of the plot, otherwise she would only fall into a deeper predicament.

The people who were left in the hall were even more silent in the face of the emperor's anger. Only Lu Qingxi was in a good mood. She saw Mu Jingxuan appear just now and knew that it was exactly the same as she expected, so she felt relieved. However, when she looked up at the emperor, she found that his face was still very ugly.

Although the emperor was angry, he also took into account the face of the civil and military officials and could not force Song Hanyi to cancel the engagement. So, he could only suppress his anger and give Song Hanyi a month to think about it. Then, he asked everyone to leave on the grounds of being unwell.

Gu Yuan learned about this from the Prime Minister that night. He listened to the Prime Minister's narration and guessed the identities of the people. Thinking that Lu Qingxi was Song Hanyi's fiancée, even though it was fake, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

The next day, the servant named A Jin suggested that he go to the palace to accompany the princess. After all, the princess had lost face in public and must be in a bad mood. After hearing what A Jin said, Gu Yuan realized that it was time for him to go, so he asked someone to prepare horses to go to the palace to meet Mu Jingxuan.

After the two met, the maidservant beside Mu Jingxuan and A Jin began to talk. Their voices became louder and louder, as if they were deliberately trying to let Mu Jingxuan and Gu Yuan hear them. Mu Jingxuan and Gu Yuan looked at each other helplessly. They both knew that they were now puppets in the hands of these two maidservants and servants, and could only act according to their instructions.

The maid suggested that Mu Jingxuan go to the Queen and ask her to bring Song Hanyixuan into the palace as a tutor; while Ah Jin suggested that Gu Yuan approach Lu Qingxi and win her heart. After hearing these two requests, Mu Jingxuan and Gu Yuan could not help but feel a little satisfied. They exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

In this way, under the "suggestions" of the maid and the servant, Mu Jingxuan and Gu Yuan began their new mission.

A few days later, under the careful guidance of A Jin, Gu Yuan carefully planned a scene of a hero saving a beautiful girl. However, this scene was full of loopholes and made people laugh and cry. Fortunately, Lu Qingxi was a tool person who cooperated with the plot, otherwise she would really wonder why the knives of the gangsters were not sharpened, the streets were empty, and Gu Yuan's fists did not touch anyone, but they fell one by one.

The rescued Lu Qingxi and the rescuer Gu Yuan exchanged an awkward look, both of them knew that the play was clumsy. But the plot still needed to continue, so the two had to pretend that they didn't notice anything and continued to perform step by step.

The maidservant beside Lu Qingxi suggested cleverly: "Miss, you can take Mr. Gu to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion and treat him well." Lu Qingxi nodded in agreement, but she felt bored with the drama.

When they arrived at the Zhuangyuan Mansion, the maid suggested, "Miss, you can play the piano to express your gratitude."

Lu Qingxi was glad that she could play the piano, so she sat down in front of the piano and stroked the strings with both hands. She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was recalling the melodies she had practiced before. Then, her fingers began to pluck the piano gently, and the sound flowed out.

The sound of the piano is like a spring in the mountains, gurgling, or like a spring breeze blowing over the willow branches, soft and moving. Every note is like a carefully carved gem, shining brightly. Lu Qingxi's fingers jump on the strings, as if dancing with the strings, and her posture sways gently with the rhythm of the piano, like a moving painting.

Gu Yuan sat aside, staring at Lu Qingxi. He was attracted by the moving piano music, as if he was in a wonderful world. He looked at Lu Qingxi's focused expression and elegant posture, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He felt as if he was attracted by the piano music and had a wonderful resonance with Lu Qingxi.

After that, Gu Yuan visited Lu Qingxi almost every day, and the two had a great time talking to each other. However, Lu Qingxi did not make the plot progress in favor of Gu Yuan, so the relationship between the two remained at the level of friends in the plot.

However, Lu Qingxi did not notice that while she was talking with her eyes downcast, Gu Yuan was silently beside her, with only her figure in his eyes. He often fell into a trance, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and his eyes closely followed her every subtle movement. For Gu Yuan, this rare time alone turned into a moment of gazing at her, and his heart would always be greatly shaken by her words and deeds.

On the other hand, Song Hanyi was summoned to the palace by the Queen and asked to be Mu Jingxuan's companion. However, half a month passed, and the Queen did not mention letting him leave the palace. One day, Song Hanyi was writing quietly in his room, and the little maid beside Mu Jingxuan suddenly ran over in a hurry, panting and saying: "Song Gongzi, go and save the princess!"

It turned out that one stick of incense before, when Mu Jingxuan was strolling in the Imperial Garden, she saw a bird's nest fell from a tree. The maid urged her to climb the tree to release the bird eggs herself. Mu Jingxuan was curious and followed her advice. Unexpectedly, the maid secretly took the ladder away and told Mu Jingxuan that she was going to find Song Hanyi to save the beauty.

When Song Hanyi arrived under the tree, he saw Mu Jingxuan standing on the branch, her legs and feet trembling slightly, obviously a little scared. His heart tightened, knowing that Mu Jingxuan had no cultivation at the moment, and if she fell down, the consequences would be disastrous. So, he tried to remain calm and said, "Princess, come down carefully."

Mu Jingxuan was delighted to see Song Hanyi coming, and after hearing his instructions, she climbed down carefully. Finally, she landed safely in Song Hanyi's arms. The grievances in her heart and the warmth of being rescued suddenly surged into her heart. She hugged Song Hanyi tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Song Hanyi wanted to push her away, but seeing her crying so sadly, his heart softened, but he did not respond to her, just stood there stiffly and let her hug him. However, this heartwarming scene was seen by the emperor who was passing by. The emperor walked out from the back, looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Song Hanyi, you hugged the princess in public, which damaged her reputation. Now the one-month deadline has expired. As long as you agree to marry the princess, I will not pursue your recklessness."

But Song Hanyi still firmly pushed Mu Jingxuan away and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, everything just now was just an accident. The princess just fell from the tree, and I just helped the princess. The half-month period is up, please let me go home."

The emperor was extremely angry when he heard this, but Mu Jingxuan also knelt on the ground and begged the emperor for mercy, saying that everything that had just happened was an accident and asked the emperor not to blame her.
