Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Ji Qichen suddenly felt a chill on his back, and felt that someone was plotting against him!

Could it be that the eldest and second brothers are planning something again to frame him?

No, both of them looked down on him as a favored prince and usually just ignored him.

However, there were countless frame-ups between the eldest and second brothers.

So who?

……

Wait, if it wasn't that kind of calculation, but another kind...

Could it be that his mother is wondering when he will find a wife? !

Ji Qichen's face changed drastically and he quickly comforted himself.

Xu Guangzhu didn't notice the change in His Highness's expression at all, he just concentrated on eating. He suddenly felt that this moment was so rare!

By the time his mother realized something was wrong, he couldn't escape.

However, his mother should have known it by now, because when he just walked in, he saw a maid run to report the news as soon as she saw him.

No, I have to eat more. Xu Guangzhu ate much faster.

As soon as Ji Qichen came to his senses, he saw that his study partner seemed to be very hungry as well and was eating in a very voracious manner.

He pushed the dish in front of him away. He had been sitting behind the screen the whole time, and except for standing behind the rockery for a while, he had hardly moved. He wasn't that hungry, so he decided to let his companion eat it.

Look how tall he has grown. If he eats more, maybe he will continue to grow!

----

After Mu Tangxi finished his meal, he wanted to take this opportunity to pretend to go find his cousin and find out the secret behind the screen.

As a result, as soon as she stood up, a voice called her, "Miss Mu!"

I turned my head following the voice and what came into view was Miss An's beautiful face.

Mu Tangxi:? Are you here to discuss poetry with her again?

She was puzzled, but it did not stop her from showing a happy smile, "Miss An, are you here to discuss the poetry collection with me?"

An Shulan's smile froze slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. "We'll have plenty of time to talk about the poetry collection later. What I want to ask is, did you come back with Master Xu just now?"

As she spoke, she glanced towards the screen.

Mu Tangxi understood and nodded directly, "Yes."

Miss An must have seen it, otherwise she wouldn't have asked so suddenly.

So she just admitted it directly.

An Shulan breathed a sigh of relief, but her purpose was not just this, "Then do you know who the young lady following Master Xu is?"

Mu Tangxi's interest was immediately ignited, "Oh, you mean Miss Li, she is the niece of the general's wife."

Let her see if they will fight!

"Just now, the general's wife asked me to walk with them and get to know them!" The smile on Mu Tangxi's face became more and more pure.

An Shulan's expression froze after hearing this, and she clenched her hands, "...Really?"

She looked towards Miss Li's position and looked her up and down, trying to see what outstanding qualities Miss Li had that could allow her to defeat her.

But after watching for a long time, An Shulan's heart calmed down. It was just the general's wife who promoted her. Apart from the surname Li, who else could compare to her? !

An Shulan smiled again, her eyes revealing a kind of arrogance and disdain.

Even if she was not selected, she deservedly won over many ladies today and made it to the end.

The general's wife looked down on her, but this was not her only option for marriage!

If it weren't for the fact that Master Xu and the Third Prince are on good terms, and if it weren't for the fact that the Third Prince is the least likely prince to inherit the throne, her parents would hope that she could convince Master Xu and the Third Prince to support the First Prince together, and she wouldn't have come to participate!

Since there is no hope, forget it.

An Shulan calmed herself down and looked down at Miss Mu who had just been tricked into revealing her feelings. She sighed that she was so easy to deceive, but her eyes turned softer when she looked at her.

Mu Tangxi waited for a while but never got the expression she imagined, and felt a little confused for a moment.

She looked up at Miss An with her eyes sparkling in the sunlight, her eyes full of confusion.

Then Miss An gently touched her cheek.

Mu Tangxi:? Is this to thank her for sharing the information?

Why is the reaction different from what I expected?

An Shulan withdrew her hand with satisfaction. It was exactly the feeling she had imagined, and her mood instantly improved!

Mu Tangxi just watched stupidly as Miss An returned to her seat and started chatting with the other ladies.

So...she was just asking?

Mu Tangxi blinked her eyes when she reacted. She seemed to be influenced by Mu Lianxue from her previous life. She thought that if they were dissatisfied, they would start a quarrel.

Never mind, it’s just a little less fun, not a big deal.

Mu Tangxi continued to walk around the screen, with a calm expression all the way.

So much so that no one else realized what she was trying to do.

Then Mu Tangxi quickly slipped behind the screen while no one else was paying attention.

Sure enough, she saw her cousin eating with a man in white. Her eyes paused for a moment as they passed by the three bowls of rice placed on the table beside her cousin.

My cousin seems to be able to eat a lot.

"Cousin!" Mu Tangxi shouted with evil humor.

As I wished, I saw the two men's figures stiffen, and my cousin choked on the food in his mouth, while the other man suddenly sat up straight and patted my cousin's back hard with his other hand.

Is he helping to calm down, or is he reminding his cousin that someone is coming?

Mu Tangxi was not in a hurry to see who the man in white was. She just leisurely admired the two people's hurried movements.

Well, I finally got my revenge for starving her!

Happy!

Xu Guangzhu didn't expect that someone would come to his door before he finished his meal.

He was so scared that he choked on his food. He quickly picked up the tea on the table and poured it down his throat.

His Highness also patted his back hurriedly, "Hurry up, hurry up, trick your cousin away! I came here quietly today!"

Xu Guangzhu nodded repeatedly, signaling His Highness not to pat him anymore, as he was already fine. If he continued to pat him, his back would turn blue!

He turned around and looked at Mu Tangxi with a surprised expression, "Cousin, why are you here?"

Mu Tangxi looked at his cousin's expression and deliberately prolonged the ending of his words, "Cousin - who is that person next to you?"

Xu Guangzhu looked a little nervous, "Oh, that's my friend. By the way! What do you want to talk to me about?"

The topic changed very awkwardly, but Mu Tangxi still treated it as if his attention was diverted.

"Ah, Miss An came to see me just now and said that she saw the three of us entering the banquet together, so she wanted to talk to my cousin about it."

What just happened can be used as an excuse!

After hearing this, Xu Guangzhu's first reaction was to let him choke on rice just for this matter?

"Okay, I understand. I'll handle this matter. You go back first." Xu Guangzhu quickly sent his cousin away.

It would be bad if my cousin found out that the person next to him is the Third Prince!

The Third Prince came, but he didn’t even tell his mother!

He was talking about the friends he met outside!
