The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 44 Do You Miss Your Lover?
The time for the flower viewing banquet held in Qinyang County soon arrived. The end of March was a good time of spring. There were all kinds of flowers in the imperial farm outside the capital, both precious and ordinary, which were really competing for beauty.
All the young men and women from official families of the fifth rank and above who were over twelve years old and unmarried were invited to this flower-viewing banquet, so there were really a lot of people.
In Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, only Mu Fengnian's youngest son was eight years old, and the others all received invitations.
Last year, only Mu Xiyu and Mu Weian, a brother and sister, attended the event. Mu Weiping and Mu Xixue are both twelve years old this year, and like Mu Xiyue, this is their first time attending the event.
As a concubine's daughter, Mu Xixue rarely has such an opportunity. Generally, the powerful people in the capital would only invite legitimate daughters to attend any banquets. Some legitimate daughters would bring their illegitimate sisters to the banquet, but not every legitimate daughter would do so.
In the past, Mu Xiyu never brought Mu Xixue to banquets in the capital on the grounds that she was still young, so today Mu Xixue seemed particularly happy to have the opportunity to attend.
As soon as Mu Xiyue walked to the gate of the mansion, she saw that in addition to the two carriages prepared by the Marquis' Mansion, there was also a low-key and luxurious carriage parked at the gate. It belonged to the Prince Jin's Mansion. Qi Yun was standing next to the carriage looking into the gate.
Mu Xiyue knew that someone would come to pick her up, and she walked over with a warm heart.
Xiao Yibai got out of the car and waved at her, "Yueyue, I'll pick you up."
Mu Xiyue was not polite and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you!"
After saying that, he got into the car with Xiaotao.
Mu Xiyu and the other three also saw Xiao Yibai and stepped forward to greet him, "Greetings, Prince Jin!"
Xiao Yibai just said lightly, "No need for formalities," and turned around and got on the carriage.
Mu Xiyu looked at the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion going away with her eyes full of jealousy and hatred, until her maid Qiulan called her from behind and she came back to her senses.
Mu Xiyu put away the unwilling expression on her face and got on the carriage. How could this bitch, a country bumpkin, win the favor of Prince Jin? She just wanted to be Prince Rui's concubine and couldn't even achieve her wish.
Mu Xixue sat in the corner of the carriage and didn't dare to say a word. Her second sister's expression just now was so terrifying. Everyone in the mansion said that her eldest sister was scary, but why did she feel that her second sister was even scarier!
Mu Xiyue sat leisurely in the carriage and invited Xiaotao to eat melon seeds together.
"Xiao Yibai, these fried melon seeds are so delicious! I haven't cracked them in years. Xiaotao, come and eat them quickly. Don't be shy. The prince is not a stingy person."
Although Xiaotao is also lively, she is not as reckless as Mu Xiyue. She tries to be quiet when she cracks melon seeds.
Mu Xiyue grabbed another handful of melon seeds and put them in Xiao Yibai's hand. "Eat some too. Don't just sit there. Didn't they say it would take an hour to get to the Imperial Manor? What are the people in Qinyang County thinking? They're going all the way to hold a banquet. Wouldn't it be better to hold it in the city?"
Xiao Yibai didn't feel annoyed listening to her chattering, on the contrary, he felt very happy.
Actually, the two of them didn't spend much time together. Xiao Yibai was thinking about when he started to like her.
It might have been the day of the palace banquet when I saw her and Xiao Tao sitting in the pavilion from afar. The other ladies were gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing, but she and Xiao Tao sat quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words in low voices. Her frosty dress made her look gentle and demure, unlike the frivolous, arrogant, and sassy look she had when they first met.
Later on, he asked her to help pick up the witness. She didn't know how to ride a horse, so she sat behind him and hugged his waist. He still remembers that feeling, as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat, nervous and excited.
Mu Xiyue looked at Xiao Yibai who had been in a daze for a long time, with a faint smile on his face and a curled lip. It was very strange. She was very curious about what had made him so absent-minded.
She leaned close to him and whispered in his ear slyly, "Are you thinking about your lover so intently?"
Xiao Yibai was startled by her sudden approach, and his ears turned red at her words. He complained in his heart, if you agree, then I am thinking about my lover.
Mu Xiyue saw that his ears were red, and she patted his shoulder vigorously, "You really miss your lover. Will she also go to the flower viewing banquet?"
Xiao Yibai looked at her with an indescribable expression, "Well, she's going too!"
Mu Xiyue had completely forgotten about Xiao Yibai's recent confession to her, and excitedly said, "Tell me which family this daughter is from and what her personality is like. I'll see if we can become friends. When you two get married, I'll discuss our business cooperation with your princess. Otherwise, it would be bad if she misunderstands something."
Xiao Yibai felt depressed. This person really didn't care about him at all and didn't seem jealous at all.
Mu Xiyue finished expressing her suggestions in high spirits, only to then realize that Xiao Yibai looked hurt, looking at her as if he were a heartless man. She suddenly remembered what he had confessed to her.
Xiao Tao didn’t know what to say. Does the lady really not like the prince at all?
Xiao Yibai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. After a few breaths, he sighed and said quietly, "Yueyue, what can I do to impress you?"
Xiaotao felt very embarrassed sitting in the carriage at this time, so she quietly moved towards the outside of the carriage.
The palace's carriage was very large, and the row of seats outside the carriage could accommodate three people. Xiao Tao thought it would be better for her to sit outside.
Mu Xiyue didn't know how to respond to Xiao Yibai's words. Seeing Xiao Tao's little action, she asked, "Xiao Tao, what are you doing?"
Xiao Tao chuckled twice, "Miss, the carriage is a bit stuffy, I'll sit outside to get some fresh air. You and the prince have a good chat, don't worry about me."
Qi Yun, who was outside the carriage, heard Xiao Tao's words and immediately asked the guard driving the carriage to stop. He exchanged positions with the guard and drove the car himself. Xiao Tao took the opportunity to get out of the carriage.
Qi Yun asked Xiao Tao softly, "Miss Mu, do you really not like the Master at all?"
Xiao Tao shook her head. "I don't know. Miss didn't say she didn't like it. I also asked Miss after the prince confessed his feelings to her last time, and she didn't say she liked it or didn't like it. Why did you take over the driving now? Are you tired of driving so you have to take turns?"
Qi Yun smiled at her and said, "No, the driver can only sit in the middle. If you want to sit outside, then naturally I will sit in the middle and drive. Otherwise, you want to sit next to Feng Wu!"
Feng Wu: Are you polite? Why can't Miss Xiaotao sit next to me?
Xiaotao understood, but she blushed a little.
The two people in the carriage didn't speak for a long time. Although Mu Xiyue felt that she didn't say anything wrong, after all, she didn't accept his confession, but how could she put it? Thinking about it carefully, what she said just now did hurt his feelings a little.
She hesitated for a while before speaking, "Xiao Yibai, are you angry?"
Xiao Yibai looked at her and sighed softly, "Yueyue, I know you don't have any romantic feelings for me right now. Can you give me a chance? Every word I said to you was sincere. I will deal with the three concubines in the mansion, and there will be no one else in the future. As long as you are willing, you will be the only mistress of Prince Jin's mansion."
