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

The sudden fall of the fifth princess also made Shen Yuqing and the others change their expressions slightly. They subconsciously turned around and raised their hands to grab the person, but it was too late.

There were so many people here that they could only follow the Fifth Princess's instructions and form a wall of people in front to clear the way for the princess. Naturally, they were unable to take care of the people behind them in time. Who knew that there were so many people that the maids who were taking care of the Fifth Princess were also squeezed away by the crowd, so they were unable to protect the Fifth Princess in time.

But the fifth princess did not really fall down, because there were suddenly several figures behind her. One of the strong figures even raised his hand and put his arm around the fifth princess' waist with a smile.

Mu Qingli's expression was calm, her feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, and she didn't move at all. She glanced at the figure behind her casually, but quickly looked away.

The man held the girl's waist with one hand and grabbed her hand with the other, and caught her directly. The girl's soft body almost fell into his arms in an instant. He smiled and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"There are a lot of people here, young lady, please be careful. Did you sprain your ankle? If you are injured, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible."

The five princesses were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up, but instead of seeing the familiar maid, they saw a completely unfamiliar face, and the big hand on their waist was scorching hot.

Little did she know that her series of scolding and screaming had already attracted the attention of many people not far away, and the commotion here had attracted many people to look around.

Lu Yao didn't notice it at all. When she realized that she was in a man's arms, she was so scared that she quickly backed away. She took several steps back before looking up and glaring at him.

"How dare you! You're blind! Who are you? How dare you offend me!"

Mu Qingli raised his eyes and glanced at her, then spoke casually.

"Fifth Princess, this is Prince Chi, one of the two high princes of the East Wing Kingdom delegation. Since you didn't come to the banquet yesterday, you naturally didn't get to meet him. I didn't expect to meet him here now. It's really fate."

Shentu Chi stared at her face, which had become noticeably gentler. He waved the fan in his hand, nodded with an even brighter smile, and directly acknowledged his identity.

"Yes, the young prince is Shentu Chi. So the princess didn't attend the palace banquet yesterday? No wonder the prince hasn't seen her before. Maybe this young lady is right. Perhaps the young prince and the princess really are destined to be together."

Mu Qingli was not far away and could almost clearly see the complex expression in his eyes. He immediately lowered his eyelids to hide the endless mockery in them.

However, Shen Yuqing glanced at Prince Chi with a strange expression, and then couldn't help but turn her gaze to the silent Mu Qingli.

Lu Yao didn't notice the eye contact between the two, and her brows were slightly furrowed in displeasure.

"So you're from the East Wing Kingdom? I wonder why Prince Chi is here?"

"It was just a coincidence. That's why I said that I and Her Royal Highness are destined to be together. I wonder if you ladies have anything to do? If not, I'd like to host you for tea."

Shen Tu Chi stared at Lu Yao with a smile, his eyes never leaving her, but the dark light in his eyes made people feel scared, but it was quickly restrained and no one noticed.

"Your Highness is truly thoughtful. But forget about the tea. We are about to go check out the list of the Autumn Examination results."

Shen Yuqing glanced at everyone and still stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

Mu Qingli looked at them without saying a word. Only when he smelled a familiar fragrance did he tilt his head with a slight smile on his lips. Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure beside him.

Gu Luoheng appeared at this time. He looked at Mu Qingli with a smile on his face and said, "Miss Mu, you won't go to have tea either. You have something important to do in your house today."

Standing beside him was Mu Fushu, who had just returned from looking at the list. However, his face was gloomy at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking about, but he didn't say a word.

Mu Qingli knew what he was talking about. She smiled helplessly and knelt slightly towards the Fifth Princess and Shentu Chi.

"Since the princess and the other girls are here to see the list, I won't disturb you. You can take your time to read it. I will return to the mansion first. I bid you farewell."

Mu Fushu also raised his hand to salute and turned to leave. He did not forget to glare at Gu Luoheng imperceptibly and left with gritted teeth.

"Mr. Gu, are you here to see the list as well? Why not join us? I'd like to congratulate you after you're done."

When Lu Yao saw Gu Luoheng, she immediately smiled happily and was about to walk towards him.

Shen Yuqing smiled subconsciously and bowed slightly to greet him gently.

"Mr. Gu is well."

Gu Luoheng's face darkened instantly, and he raised his hand to say goodbye with an expressionless face.

"No need. I've already looked at the list. I have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now. Princess and Prince, please take your time to look at it together."

After he said that, he turned around and walked away without stopping at all. He even quickened his pace, as if he was afraid of being caught up by them.

Even Shen Yuqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at his departing back with confusion and curiosity, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Yao wanted to follow him and stick with him, but the crowd was crowded and she had just said that she was here to see the list. She couldn't deny what she said in front of the prince of another country, right?

But because of this delay, when they squeezed out again, they could no longer see Gu Luoheng and the others. They had no choice but to go to the teahouse for tea at Shentu Chi's invitation. On the way, he even invited several children of powerful families who also came to see the list.

Soon, both the Gu and Mu families gathered at the Gu family's house, and a pair of betrothal geese and many gifts were also brought into the house.

For such a grand occasion, Mu Qingli naturally returned to her own courtyard to wait for news. Qiu Jin and the others were so curious that they went to the front hall to join in the fun, but she ignored them and continued to embroider the purse in her hand slowly and attentively.

Since they are about to get engaged, it is natural that she should embroider a purse for him by hand, at least as a token of her love.

When Mu Fushu came over, he saw her embroidering a purse with her head down. He sighed helplessly and sat down beside her.

"I didn't expect to marry you off so soon."

Mu Qingli smiled calmly and tilted her head, "Brother, even if I get married, you can still come to see me, right? The Gu family is no different from our other family. Aunt Fang and the others will be very happy if you go there. Besides, the Gu family won't restrict my freedom."

There might not even be any conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. For her, this is a marriage that makes her satisfied, happy, and perfect. It is also what many girls in the boudoir have been looking forward to for many years.

That's true, but my sister has married into another family after all. Mu Fushu looked at her with a melancholy sigh, but his eyes were still doting.

"Okay, okay, brother knows you really like Ah Heng. As long as he treats you well, brother will have nothing to say."
