Chapter 12 Flower Appreciation Banquet

This year's flower-viewing banquet was hosted by the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was called a flower-viewing banquet, but in fact it was for the young men and women who had not yet talked about marriage to meet each other. Although Mo Wushuang was young, he was already fifteen years old. In the Dayu Dynasty, girls came of age at the age of sixteen, so it was time for them to meet each other in advance. The prince Mo Liufang and his two illegitimate brothers Mo Liuyuan and Mo Liujin (twins) were the same age, both eighteen years old, and it was time for them to find a wife. So at this time, Princess Chen Siyu was extremely busy. As soon as she entered the banquet, she was busy exchanging information with officials from various families. She had no time to care about Mo Wushuang and Chu Qingmeng.

Men and women sat at separate tables. After Mo Wushuang pulled Chu Qingmeng to sit down, she looked up and saw her three brothers standing across from her. The eldest and third brothers were staring at Sister Qingmeng beside them. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She understood what her two brothers were thinking. Then she looked at Chu Qingmeng, who was busy stealing food on the table and didn't see them at all! Mo Wushuang sighed inwardly. She also really wanted Sister Qingmeng to be her sister-in-law, but it seemed that Sister Qingmeng was not interested at the moment.

After the banquet had been going on for about an hour, people began to leave one after another to wander around. The men and women were still separated. The men gathered in a pavilion in the front peach grove, discussing this year's imperial examination questions and poems. The women, on the other hand, were in the back peach grove, a spacious area with a pavilion, a small bridge, a pond with a dozen red koi, and a quiet path along the shore leading to the front peach grove. The beauty of the peach blossoms made Chu Qingmeng a little dazed. He paused when he heard the crowd's shouts.

Chu Qingmeng snapped back to his senses, only to find that Mo Wushuang had disappeared. When Chunhe cried out in surprise, Chu Qingmeng realized that Mo Wushuang had fallen into the pond! There was a woman beside her, also crying for help. Chu Qingmeng jumped off the stone bridge and swam towards them. As he jumped into the pond, he caught a glimpse of a man jumping down from the front. Alarm bells immediately rang in his heart! He shouted, "Sir! Stop! This is not the place for you!"

But the man seemed not to have heard and was still trying to swim towards them. Chu Qingmeng had already grabbed Mo Wushuang by this time. He stretched out his hand to pull the woman next to him behind him and shouted again, "Sir! Please stop! If you go any further, you will ruin the reputation of the two girls! I wonder who is the master of this mansion? You won't stop even after I've shouted at you again and again?!"

Chu Qingmeng dragged the two men to the shore. The maids from both families hurried forward to put cloaks on their mistresses to shield them from the spring light. Chunhe also squeezed into the crowd to put one on Chu Qingmeng. But Chu Qingmeng didn't care about that at the moment. She just looked at the man in the water cautiously, protecting Mo Wushuang behind her. After she shouted at him a second time, the man flushed and stopped in the water. He explained weakly, "I was just saving someone in a hurry. I didn't think of anything else."

Chu Qingmeng narrowed his eyes, snorted in his heart but didn't show it on his face, "Then please go back, sir. I have rescued the two of them. You won't be troubled here for the time being!" After that, he pulled Mo Wushuang away quickly. The man swam back with a red face. At this time, in the crowd, a woman in pink and blue clothes stamped her feet in hatred, secretly glared at Chu Qingmeng's back, and couldn't help cursing in her heart, where did this little bitch come from, and she actually ruined her plan?! If it weren't for her, it should be her brother holding the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion on the shore! She would have to marry at that time, whether she wanted to or not! It was all the fault of that idiot Lin Wei. She pushed her elder sister Lin Yue into the lake, but why did she push Mo Wushuang in as well? How stupid!

When Lin Yue, who was rescued, saw the man who was stopped by Chu Qingmeng, she understood what was going on. As the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if she couldn't even understand the dirty tricks in the harem, she would have lived in vain for more than ten years. After figuring this out, she hurried back to the yard, changed into clean clothes, and asked the servants to report to her mother.

At this time, Mo Wushuang, who was rescued by Chu Qingmeng, had already changed into dry clothes. The two of them got on the carriage and left the Prime Minister's Mansion, leaving Chunhe to report to the princess what had just happened.

Chu Qingmeng, who returned to the palace, suddenly felt that she had no strength. As soon as she stepped into Mo Wushuang's Qingmei Garden, her legs went weak and she knelt straight on the ground. Everyone screamed and helped Chu Qingmeng up, and sent her back to Cuizhu Garden to rest. Not long after, Chu Qingmeng developed a high fever, and Mo Wushuang hurriedly found the palace doctor to take her pulse.

While Chu Qingmeng was half-conscious from a high fever, she saw a figure rush in from the doorway. Bathed in the rays of the setting sun, she couldn't make out his face, but she could see a stain on his pale blue clothing. It was like a fallen immortal, fallen to earth. This made Chu Qingmeng, who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, very uncomfortable. She wanted to flick the stain off him, but she felt powerless. As her eyelids sank, she was still thinking about flicking the stain off...
