In the early morning, the earth was covered with gold again.

Mu Yao stretched lazily, recalling Xie Ci's colorful and ever-changing expressions yesterday, and felt particularly happy.

Today she and Shen Chutang were going to "Xiaoling Mountain" to have a picnic. After washing up, she quickly opened the wardrobe and chose a set of silver-red soft silk low-cut skirt.

A woman dresses to please herself, and should fully display her advantages in front of the man she loves. She also chose a set of hairpins and earrings with royal blue and crabapple patterns to match the dress.

The beautiful face reflected in the floor-length gilded bronze mirror was without makeup but still as beautiful as a flower. However, she still added a layer of makeup to herself, which elevated her already stunning face to a level of beauty that was breathtaking and otherworldly.

She checked her figure in the mirror with satisfaction, and moved to the central hall with light lotus steps, only to see Xie Ci already sitting at the table, carefully peeling a plate of lychees in front of a table full of breakfast.

When he raised his eyes, Sheng Yan's critical hit made his hands pause, and he couldn't help but hesitate whether he should mention the "Hundred Flowers Banquet" to her tonight.

"What's wrong?" Mu Yao saw that he looked worried, so she sat beside him and asked with concern. She felt depressed. Why didn't he smile even though she was dressed so beautifully? Did she kiss him silly yesterday?

Xie Ci pushed the peeled dandelion to her side and said softly, "Eat it after the meal." Then he served her a bowl of dandelion porridge.

Mu Yao didn't like flower porridge, so she took it reluctantly with her lips pursed. She took a sip under Xie Ci's expectant eyes and her eyes lit up immediately. It tasted much better than she had expected.

Miao Guan saw that Lady Mu and the young master were getting along well, so he added, "Lady Mu, this porridge was made by our young master before dawn today."

Xie Ci paused, lowered his eyes and said, "It's my first time making it, I don't know if it's to your taste."

Mu Yao's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she replied with a happy face, "It's delicious. I didn't expect A Ci to make such good porridge for the first time. A Ci is really amazing." After that, she scooped a few more spoonfuls and drank the whole bowl of porridge.

Seeing that she liked it, Xie Ci's deep eyes were full of doting.

"It's not as good as the taste of Shuiyunjian. I was worried that you wouldn't like it."

This sounds normal, but after careful consideration, it seems that it is not the case. Mu Yao's expression flickered slightly, observing his expression, and said: "As long as it is made by you, I like it. In a few days, I will open a branch in Xianshui, and then integrate the local dishes of Beiming. What do you think, Ah Ci?"

Xie Ci's eyes lit up, and he instantly looked up at Mu Yao, and said in disbelief: "Yaoyao is willing to stay in Beiming with me?"

. . . . . .

Is that what she meant? Did Xu Qingcheng and Helian Yun not want them anymore? Thinking that what she said next might hit him, she immediately regretted it. Just eat, why bother talking so much.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Aci, I will come here often." She figured it out. She was born to be a hard worker, so she just had to work hard running around. Suddenly she thought of Shen Chutang again. She didn't know his identity, but she hoped he wasn't another one. Otherwise, she would run herself to death. Even a thousand-mile horse wouldn't be so tired.

His thoughts began to drift away again, and he muttered to himself, "I wonder how Dad, Big Brother Xu, and Ah Yun are doing."

Xie Ci hugged Mu Yao and comforted her, saying, "Wutai County has received the news and is heading to Beiming. I'm not sure about Master Li and Xu Qingcheng, but Helian Yun should be here in the next two days."

Mu Yao was delighted when she heard this. Xie Ci felt a sour taste in his chest when he saw her extremely expectant look, and asked with a hint of jealousy: "Yaoyao, why did you choose Helian Yun? What do you like about him?"

Mu Yao was excited about meeting her family soon, so she said without hesitation, "I like that he's a generation older than me, so it's a challenge."

. . . . . .

Seeing that the two of them were using intimate terms, Miao Guan's smile lines were so thick that they could kill a few big mosquitoes, so he tactfully retreated quietly.

Mu Yao took the last bite of Danli and said softly, "Ah Ci, I have an appointment with Shen Chutang to go to Xiaoling Mountain to have a picnic. I won't be back for lunch."

She spoke very naturally, but she was extremely panicked inside. She looked around with her beautiful eyes, but she didn't dare to look at him.

Time stood still for dozens of breaths. Mu Yao lowered her head, guiltily scooped herself another half bowl of porridge, and drank it silently.

"You agree?" Xie Ci said weakly after a long while. He was not surprised, but he was very unhappy.

"Yes." Mu Yao nodded heavily. She was very sure of Shen Chutang's feelings. No matter what his status was, she was determined to be his husband.

The big hand covering her waist gradually tightened its strength, and pulled her hard. In an instant, Mu Yao was sitting in his arms. The big hand kept moving along her legs, and Mu Yao's heart trembled every time it went to a place. Thinking about the bright day, her face suddenly became tense.

Xie Ci was very upset, and suddenly remembered the scene of that man taking Yaoyao away from him, and he still couldn't let it go. But his sweetheart told him that they would have a wild meal with that man in a while, and a nameless fire rose up.

The big hand moved to her slender waist and stopped.

Xie Ci adjusted his mood and said calmly: "Yaoyao, the emperor also invited you to the Hundred Flowers Banquet tonight, but I haven't had time to tell you yet."

Ok?

Mu Yao was surprised. She was not a noble lady from Bei Ming, so why did they invite her?

Thinking of her date with Shen Chutang today, she asked tentatively, "Can I not go?"

If she went to the "Hundred Flowers Banquet", she would really want to cry a tear into the basin - she would be exhausted to death.

Xie Ci was silent. He didn't want Mu Yao to go at first, but the emperor had spoken, so it was difficult to deal with it. He had already thought of the words to refuse, but Shen Chutang's interference messed up his mentality. Now that his relationship with Mu Yao has been established, he will have to face everyone sooner or later, so he suddenly changed his mind and announced the marriage in front of the emperor before Dayun's people arrived.

Seeing that he was silent, Mu Yao thought that maybe she had embarrassed him. She sighed in her heart and said, "Then I will come back early and go to the banquet with you in the evening."

Xie Ci was surprised by her sudden change, and pecked her soft hand and said, "It won't be too late. When the time comes, find a time to ask Uncle Miao to send you back first."
