The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

Mu Xiyue was standing in line, looking around at the people around her, when she suddenly saw the palace entrance on the other side in the distance. A carriage drove directly to the entrance. After the people in the carriage got off, the gatekeeper did not check or ask any questions. Instead, he bowed and saluted, and let them in directly.

Mu Xiyue was curious about who was going in over there, and Liu Meier whispered to her, "Only members of the royal family can go in over there, we can only queue up over here."

So that’s it, this is the VIP entrance.

After waiting in line for nearly two quarters of an hour, it was finally their turn. Liu Mei'er took out the invitation from the palace. The eunuch guarding the gate must have known Liu Mei'er and the other two. He smiled and asked, "Madam Hou, who is the lady behind you?"

Liu Mei'er said, "This is the eldest daughter of our Anyuan Marquisate. She has been recuperating in the countryside and has only been back in Beijing for ten days."

The eunuch smiled and nodded, "So this is Miss Mu. Please come in."

Another young eunuch on the side wrote a few words on a piece of paper. This inspection was probably to look at the palace invitation in his hand and then record which family had come and how many people had come.

Entering the palace is a wide palace road, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the road are also very exquisite. Mu Xiyue followed and looked around as she walked in, taking in the scenery of the palace. It is worthy of being an imperial palace, it is magnificent.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at our first stop, the Imperial Garden.

Liu Mei'er and Mu Xiyu were obviously very tired and their breathing was uneven. Mu Weian didn't look any different. Boys really did have better physical strength.

Mu Xiyue used to go to the mountains frequently, and she exercised every day, so she naturally didn't feel tired after walking for an hour or two.

Mu Xiyu also noticed that Mu Xiyue didn't look tired at all, and muttered softly, "So vulgar."

Mu Xiyue has good hearing, but ignored her when she heard this. She thought that being physically strong meant being vulgar. I wonder how much water in her brain she had to say such a thing.

There are pavilions, corridors and many chairs placed in the open space in the Imperial Garden, so there are plenty of places to sit. However, only the elderly ladies will find a place to sit. The rest of the ladies, young ladies and gentlemen will stand in groups of two or three and chat with people they are familiar with.

As soon as Mu Weian arrived at the Imperial Garden, he went to look for a young man he knew well. Liu Mei'er naturally wanted to socialize with other ladies, and Mu Xiyu also wanted to find someone she was friendly with. Mu Xiyue didn't know anyone and didn't want to follow either of them, so she said she was just taking a walk.

Liu Mei'er hoped that she would make some jokes on her own, but was also worried that she would bring trouble to the Marquis' Mansion. When the words came to her lips, she was startled by Mu Xiyue's indifferent look. She smiled awkwardly, "Then Yue'er, just walk by yourself!"

Mu Xiyue took Xiaotao to a less crowded place, to a pavilion by the pond. There was no one inside, so they could sit down and rest.

From the pavilion, you can see most of the Imperial Garden. The scenery of the Imperial Garden is very nice, but the garden is full of people, and it feels like the noise of a vegetable market, which makes the beautiful Imperial Garden lose its color.

Mu Xiyue was just watching with boredom when she saw three men walking towards the pavilion. She recognized one of them at a glance. It was the fifth prince, Prince Jin, whom she had rescued on the mountain.

Xiao Tao whispered, "Miss, is that the person from that day?"

Mu Xiyue nodded slightly, "Just pretend I don't know you."

Xiao Tao understood and didn't say anything else.

Three men walked into the pavilion, and one of them said with a smile, "I don't think I've seen this young lady before. I wonder which minister's daughter she is."

Mu Xiyue sat still, only smiling politely, "Sir, don't you think you should introduce yourself before asking this question?"

Xiao Yibai curled his lips and smiled. The girl on the mountain that day looked heroic, but today she looked dignified and calm, yet playful and lively.

The man who spoke laughed heartily and said to the two men beside him, "Third brother and fifth brother, there are still some people who come to the banquet who don't know us."

He clasped his fists towards Mu Xiyue and said, "Miss, I am Prince Qi Xiao Yize, this is Prince An Xiao Yian, and this is Prince Jin Xiao Yibai."

Mu Xiyue stood up and saluted the three men gracefully. "Greetings to the three princes. I am Mu Xiyue, the eldest daughter of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion. This is my first time entering the palace and I don't know the identities of the three princes. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Tao had been sitting side by side with Mu Xiyue. When Mu Xiyue stood up and saluted, she naturally followed suit. After the salute, she walked to stand behind Mu Xiyue. When there was no one around, she could be unruly in front of the young lady, but she still had to pretend in front of others.

When the King of Qi heard it was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion, he became interested. He sat down on a wooden chair nearby and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Miss Mu. Miss Mu, please don't stand! Third brother and fifth brother, please sit down too. Miss Mu, don't mind chatting with us for a while, right?"

Mu Xiyue sat down in her original position. "It is my honor to have a chat with the three princes."

Although no one outside knew that Minister Chen and his wife had visited Marquis Anyuan that day, the King of Qi, as Minister Chen's nephew, knew exactly what had happened that day. He did not expect that the country girl who Minister Chen had described as wild and eccentric would look no worse than other ladies from wealthy families today. She was generous, decent, dignified and polite, and even looked more elegant.

Xiao Yibai and Xiao Yian also sat down readily. Xiao Yibai also pretended that it was his first time meeting Mu Xiyue and asked casually, "Miss Mu, are you accustomed to living in Shangjing City?"

Mu Xiyue still kept smiling, "It's okay, just a little boring, not as fun as the countryside."

The King of Qi seemed very interested. "Oh, Miss Mu, could you tell me what fun things to do in the countryside?"

"It's nothing. We live by the mountains, so we just go up there to pick mushrooms, dig bamboo shoots, and hunt wild boars. Our lives are fulfilling, unlike the Marquis' Mansion where we do nothing every day."

Mu Xiyue pretended to miss her days in the countryside. She didn't need a good reputation. She wanted these big shots to think she was vulgar so as not to attract attention.

"Why don't I see any children among so many officials' wives?" Mu Xiyue asked casually. She noticed this when she was queuing at the palace gate. There were no children among those who came to attend the palace banquet. Could it be that officials above the fourth rank were all old, so there were no young children at home?

This time, it was the Third Prince, Prince An, who answered her. "Miss Mu, don't you know? Only legitimate children of officials over fifteen years old can participate."

So that's why. No wonder only one of Liu Mei'er's two sons came. Mu Weian is exactly fifteen years old this year, and Mu Weiping is only twelve years old.

As they were talking, there was a commotion in the distance, and the crowd began to move in one direction. Some people stood still, but they also looked in that direction.

The King of Qi asked curiously, "I wonder what's going on over there? Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Mu Xiyue was also very curious, so she followed the three princes towards the crowd.
