"The Emperor invites Prince Jing and Prince Xuan to the Yangxin Palace." A young eunuch came in front of everyone. Chu Xingluo said to Xia Taoyuan, "I'll be back soon." Then he and Prince Xuan followed the eunuch one after the other.

Qingyun and Long Yan did not go with Chu Xingluo, and Xia Taoyuan sat back in her chair. Qingyun saw Mu Yun was still there and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Mu Yun ignored him, walked straight to Xia Taoyuan, and said with a smile: "Brother Yan doesn't look very happy?"

Xia Taoyuan knew that this man was smart and probably saw that she was a woman disguised as a man in the gambling house that day. She asked back, "Why, does Mr. Mu have to control whether I am happy or not?"

"No, I'm just worried that at the engagement ceremony, if others see you like this, the rumors will get even worse." Mu Yun said.

"What does it have to do with you?" Qingyun was unhappy.

"It's just a kind reminder, if you don't want to listen, forget it." Mu Yun was not angry and went towards the direction of the Imperial Garden.

Xia Taoyuan couldn't understand this man. According to the theory, Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Mu were not on good terms, and Mu Yun and she should be opposites. But he didn't look like he was gloating or watching a joke. Maybe he wasn't like his sister Mu Yanran, who said one thing in public and another behind the scenes? But who could tell? It was always right to be on guard against others.

Long Yan saw her doubts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Princess. Mu Yun is different from his father. Although he sometimes deserves a beating, his character is still okay. He is considered an outlier in the Mu family."

Xia Taoyuan listened silently, and suddenly a crisp "Zhiying" was heard. Xia Taoyuan looked over and saw a girl in light yellow clothes quickly approaching her. Xia Taoyuan stood up and pulled the girl up. She felt better and said, "Why are you here just now?"

Lu Qing'er blushed slightly and said shyly, "I've been here for a while, and I've been looking for you." Seeing her like this, Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but teasing, "Looking for me? Are you looking for my brother? You were with him just now?"

When Lu Qing'er saw that her secrets were revealed, her face turned even redder and she shouted, "You silly girl, you're making fun of me again." As she spoke, she pretended to grab Xia Taoyuan.

Long Yan Qingyun found it funny, but when he saw Xia Taoyuan was happy, he felt relieved. He said goodbye to Xia Taoyuan and went to find Chu Xingluo.

Xia Taoyuan and Lu Qing'er whispered that they had just seen Mu Yanran, and that there were two people following her, and that the two people were very unfriendly. They pointed behind them, indicating that the three people were in the room.

Lu Qing'er also whispered, "You don't know them? One of them is Fang Muyao, the daughter of Fang Zhong, the Minister of Justice, and the other is Zhang Qianqian, whose father Zhang Wei is a minister under Fang Zhong. They follow Mu Yanhou every day, just like their father follows Mu Huairen every day, flattering him."

Xia Taoyuan understood and stopped talking about them. She looked at Lu Qing'er and smiled, "Did my brother tell you to find a chance to explain to our parents and then go to the general's mansion to propose marriage?"

Lu Qing'er blushed a little after hearing this, but her eyes were curved with a smile, as if she didn't quite believe it, and asked, "Did he tell you that?"

"Yes, and he also said that he would marry you before I get married." Xia Taoyuan said with a smile.

Lu Qing'er whimpered and hugged Xia Taoyuan's arm. Xia Taoyuan laughed secretly: Lu Qing'er, who was usually decisive and generous, also acted like a little girl in love. It was true that love made people blind.

The two of them were laughing and joking. At this time, the grandmother Wang came with two young palace maids and said to Xia Taoyuan, "Miss Wei, the engagement ceremony will begin soon. Please move to the Imperial Garden."

Xia Taoyuan and Lu Qing'er walked arm in arm towards the Imperial Garden, and Grandma Wang also went to inform the three people in Wenxin Hall.

"Yanran, I just saw Wei Zhiying in the room, chatting and laughing with King Xuan and your brother. I didn't expect her to be so shameless. The rumors outside are probably true." Zhang Qianqian said. She has always been in love with Mu Yun, but Mu Yun ignored her. Just now, when she saw Mu Yun smiling and talking to Xia Taoyuan, she felt uncomfortable as if there was a thorn in her heart. Mu Yun had never smiled at her!

Mu Yanran sneered and said nothing. Fang Muyao also echoed, "When we came here, I saw her chatting and laughing with Master Qi. A rich lady who is engaged to Prince Jing doesn't know how to avoid suspicion and chats and laughs with other men. It seems that the rumors are true!"

Fang Muyao had met Qi Nanfeng once a few years ago and had been obsessed with him ever since. She had also heard that Qi Nanfeng was a bohemian and often lingered in brothels, but her strong love made her ignore all this.

She knew that she was beautiful and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. As the daughter of the Minister of Justice, she was a good match for Qi Nanfeng, the hostage of Nanzhu Kingdom. However, she didn't know how to tell her father. After all, she was a girl, and she was thin-skinned. She was very proud of herself. She was afraid of being laughed at. She didn't even mention Mu Yanran and Zhang Qianqian, who were close to her.

She thought about meeting Qi Nanfeng more often, so that Qi Nanfeng would notice her and take a fancy to her, and then go to Shangshu Mansion to propose marriage. She knew that although Qi Nanfeng had no shortage of women around him, he had never taken a fancy to anyone. She had gone to Nanzhu Mansion many times to meet Qi Nanfeng by chance, but every time they met, Qi Nanfeng was polite to her and indifferent. Seeing how Qi Nanfeng treated Xia Taoyuan today, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Okay, Mu Yao Qianqian, let's go to the Imperial Garden." Mu Yanran said calmly.

Xia Taoyuan didn't know that he was being hated by others without knowing it.
