Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

After hearing this, Luyao looked up with some confusion, not quite understanding.

"My Lady, do you mean that Miss Mu doesn't like to associate with the royal family? But today, I saw that Miss Mu seemed to like you very much. Didn't she even invite you for tea?"

"...Forget it, you should just send her a letter first. If she's willing to date, she'll naturally agree. If she's not, that's fine too. I've gotten used to it over the years anyway."

Lu Zhiyao hesitated for a moment before speaking. She frowned only after Luyao went down to do her work with a smile.

The two of them had a happy chat in the teahouse before, and they talked about many topics under the sun. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Sister Li didn't seem to like the royal family very much. Sometimes when she mentioned it inadvertently, other people in the palace could sense the chill that flashed across her body.

She didn't think much about it, just thinking that he still remembered the drowning incident caused by Hui'an many years ago, so she quickly ate her meal and rested.

After Lu Yao finished arranging things and came back, she saw her resting alone, and a bit of bitterness surged in her heart. She raised her hand to tuck the quilt for her master before leaving quietly.

In fact, according to her status as a princess, she should have been praised by her friends and relatives, but unfortunately she was unlucky. Her mother died of dystocia when she was born, and a few years later her father died in the battlefield. Even her grandfather could not bear the blow and soon fell seriously ill and died.

Many people in Beijing were eager to watch the fun and spread many rumors privately, saying that she had a hard life and was unlucky. After a while, everyone believed the rumors. Later, the master's status in Beijing took a sharp turn for the worse and she was treated coldly by almost everyone.

I hope Miss Mu can really become friends with the princess. She really hopes that her master won’t be so lonely.

.....

The day of the Autumn Examination is looked forward to by many people. Even though there was such a commotion yesterday, there are still crowds of people at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall today. Even if there is no one at home taking the exam, many people are willing to come and watch the fun.

Who knows, which of these students might be the top or second-place finishers? They might just come and share in the good fortune. If anyone were to pass, it would be a truly glorious event, bringing honor to the family.

Old Master Gu was in poor health and did not go out at this time. Gu Chengjin was full of confidence in his son's ability and went straight to the court early, entrusting the matter of sending him to the exam to his wife.

Fang Jiale was so nervous that he kept checking the things his son was going to take with him all the way to see if there was anything he had forgotten. He kept checking and giving instructions, feeling very worried.

Gu Luoheng smiled and did not stop her. He just listened quietly to his mother's nagging, but he couldn't help but look up at the crowd outside.

Perhaps because of his good eyesight, he quickly spotted a familiar face in the crowd. The corners of his lips subconsciously raised, and he quickly walked over there without waiting for the carriage to stop completely.

"Why are you here so early? Are you cold?"

Mu Qingli had actually seen the Gu family's carriage from afar. He smiled and handed over the food box in his hand, shaking his head slightly to indicate that he was not cold.

"I woke up early and wanted to come over to wait for you. I made you some hot pastries. If you're hungry, you can eat them. Are you wearing the knee pads I prepared for you?"

The weather was getting colder during the Autumn Examination, especially in the Imperial Examination Hall. The pair of knee pads had been prepared for him long ago, but they were only delivered yesterday.

Gu Luoheng quickly raised his hand to take it. When he looked at her, his eyes were as gentle as water, and the upturned corners of his lips were almost unable to be suppressed. He nodded obediently, which was rare.

"Yeah, it's very warm. I definitely won't feel cold with it around. Thank you, Ali."

Cheng Qin, who had just left for a while, didn't expect to see the two children so familiar with each other when she came back. She couldn't help but smile, "Ah Heng, I know your ability. Don't be nervous. Answer the questions well and you will definitely be on the list."

Gu Luoheng only then noticed her and quickly raised his hand to salute her, his posture becoming more respectful, elegant and confident.

"It's just an exam, yet you've troubled me enough to come. Shaoheng thanks Aunt Cheng so much. My mother also came to see me off. It's a good opportunity for you two to chat."

"That's right. I was wondering why this kid suddenly ran so fast. So it's you, Sister Qin, who's here? You're really thoughtful. Don't delay any longer and go in quickly. Don't let Ali and the others get cold here."

When Fang Jiale came over with a few servants, he saw several people talking together, and immediately teased his son with understanding.

Seeing that the time was approaching, Gu Luoheng did not delay any longer and looked at Mu Qingli deeply before picking up his things and leaving, leaving the venue to his mother. Anyway, his mother would definitely take good care of Ali and the others.

"Sister Qin, Ali, the autumn wind is chilly, why don't we go somewhere to have some tea? It's just the right time to warm up before returning home."

Fang Jiale looked at Mu Qingli with a smile on her face. Who wouldn't want such a good future daughter-in-law? But she was so lucky. She became good friends with her best friend, and her son could even marry her best friend's son, making the relationship even closer.

Since there was nothing else to do, Cheng Qin agreed readily, "Okay, there are too many people here, let's go somewhere else to chat."

Mu Qingli glanced at his mother and declined with a smile.

"Aunt Fang, I won't interrupt you sisters. Princess Huining sent me an invitation to the hot springs last night, so I might as well go over and visit her."

Fang Jiale was a little surprised, his eyes widening slightly. "Ali, when did you and Princess Huining become friends? I don't think you've met much."

"We had a pleasant chat at the palace last time, and we went for tea yesterday. She's quite nice, so it's okay to get closer to her."

Mu Qingli has always been very well-behaved in front of her elders and answered her questions with a smile.

Fang Jiale didn't say anything more and directly pulled Cheng Qin into his carriage. The two sisters happily went to drink tea hand in hand.

Cheng Qin glanced at her daughter without saying much. She gave a few instructions on safety and left with Fang Jiale.

Mu Qingli also quickly got into his own carriage and left, but he frowned slightly after walking for a while.

Qiu Jin frowned almost at the same time as her, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at her and reminded her softly.

"Miss, is he planning to follow us to Princess Huining's place?"

This followed me all the way from the palace gate to the Imperial Examination Hall...

Mu Qingli leaned against the carriage with a calm expression, rubbing his palms without saying a word, but soon the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"If they want to follow, then let them follow. As long as they don't take action, then don't bother."

But unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a crisp crash outside the car.

Qiu Jin reacted quickly and lifted the curtain to ask the driver about the situation.

"Uncle Ge, what's going on?"

The person driving was a middle-aged man. He took out an iron ball from his pocket and threw it in one direction.

A moment later, a sharp scream was heard from that place.

Ge Han then spoke slowly, "It's okay, Old Ge drives steady!"
