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

After such a commotion, even Concubine An couldn't help but squint her eyes.

Everyone in Jinghua knows that she has a good relationship with Concubine Ying. How dare such a little girl to mock her? Isn't this a complete lack of face for her?

But she was a thoughtful person. Even if she was thinking about how to deal with others in the future, she would not show any emotion on her face, and even smiled and changed the subject.

"It's really good to be young. Looking at these young children in the palace makes me feel much older. Time really is unforgiving."

Her words livened up the stagnant atmosphere in the palace, and many other concubines who wanted to please her joined in.

"Your Majesty, why are you so sentimental? Aren't you and the Empress beautiful? If you were to go out with the princes, you wouldn't even look like mother and son."

"Yes, the ladies are at the peak of their glory."

Not only Concubine An, but even the Queen herself felt good after hearing these flattering words.

Soon everyone started chatting again, forgetting the unpleasant topic, but only they themselves knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

Cheng Qin heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the storm was over. He patted his daughter's hand comfortingly and sighed with a worried look on his face.

She now understood that today was clearly a Hongmen Banquet. It seemed that the incident caused by the third prince yesterday had reached the palace. No wonder a palace banquet suddenly appeared.

She was afraid that the palace was so blatantly targeting her daughter because of the intention of the person above her. If that was the case, she really felt sorry for her husband's efforts over the years.

Fang Jiale was not too far away from them, and he looked at them from time to time with some concern in his eyes.

Concubine Ying was fine, but behind her stood Concubine An, the emperor's favorite concubine. The empress had tried to deal with her several times but failed because the emperor was protecting her. If she made such an enemy, it would not be good for the Mu family.

Mu Qingli was not worried at all. She drank her wine calmly, as if she didn't care about the eyes of people around her. From time to time, she raised her eyes and met Gu Luoheng's concerned gaze not far away. She smiled at him but didn't say anything.

On the other side, Mu Fushu couldn't stand it anymore and raised his hand to poke the man beside him in annoyance, and even lowered his voice to remind him.

"Stop looking. If you keep staring like that, you'll get Ahri in trouble. I didn't expect you could be so philandering even though you rarely go out."

There are only so many families in Beijing, and many girls were attracted to him before, but after he entered the court, more than half of them stopped paying attention to him. Instead, he, the future brother-in-law, is now very popular and highly respected in Beijing.

Didn't you see that the Fifth Princess's eyes were fixed on this side? She looked like she wanted to knock Gu Luoheng unconscious and take him away. It was quite scary.

Gu Luoheng withdrew his gaze calmly. His handsome face was even more distracted by the candlelight in the hall. It was a pity that his gaze was fixed on the wine glass in his hand, except for Ali who was not far away.

He hesitated for a moment, then glanced sideways and asked in a low voice, "How about we move the wedding up? I'd like to pick an auspicious date to get married first. Go back and ask Ali for his opinion."

Mu Fushu was stunned, and immediately remembered what his sister told him before they went out, and he looked at him with a strange look.

Gu Luoheng didn't understand what was going on, but he still asked him with concern, "What's wrong? Even if you're angry, you should go and ask Ali for her opinion. If she's willing, I'll have my family formally propose marriage."

There are too many people watching their marriage now, and he is really worried that things will change if he doesn't settle it quickly.

Mu Fushu touched his nose and sighed softly, looking at him with some resentment in his eyes.

"Ah Li really understands you. Before we came, she told you that if you wanted to get married in advance, you didn't need to ask her opinion. She agreed to pick a date for engagement after you finished your Autumn Examination, but she didn't want to rush the wedding."

After all, the court has been clamoring for the emperor to appoint a crown prince, and the struggle for the throne is in full swing. The ranks and status of the two families are on display, so some things are not suitable to be too ostentatious.

After he said that, Gu Luoheng knew what was going on in his heart. The corners of his lips curled up to reveal a rare smile, and he looked very graceful in an instant.

Mu Fushu drank a glass of wine with a somewhat depressed look on his face. He glared at Gu Luoheng from time to time and sighed occasionally.

As a brother, he naturally didn't want his sister to leave home so soon, but Ali liked him, and he trusted his character. He was the most worthy person for his sister in Beijing.

The two of them were having a great time drinking and chatting, and they didn't notice that someone was staring at them not far away.

Lu Yayin tilted her head curiously to look at the person not far away, and was soon discovered by her mother beside her.

Princess Bian tilted her head and asked her daughter, her eyes looking a little strange, "Ayin, why are you always staring at the men's table?"

Her daughter had only just returned to Beijing. Could it be that she already had someone she loved so soon? She would have to carefully check and plan for her daughter.

Lu Yayin leaned over to talk to her, raising her chin slightly. "Mother, is that the eldest son of the Gu family? The one Miss Mu is engaged to?"

That person is really good-looking, and the people sitting next to him are also very good-looking.

Princess Bian glanced at him and nodded calmly, testing her daughter's intentions. "It's him. How do you know someone from the Gu family?"

"I met him last time when I went to Baibao Tower with my brother. It seems that Miss Mu gave him a sword. My brother liked it very much and wanted to borrow it to look at. Unfortunately, he refused to agree even after we asked him several times, and then he left. I didn't expect that he was actually from Old Master Gu's family."

There were tiny ripples of light in Lu Yayin's eyes. She couldn't help but touch her slightly flushed cheeks, then lowered her eyes sadly for a moment.

She had heard a lot about Old Master Gu, but she didn't expect that the person she could never forget at first sight was also from the Gu family. It was a pity that the other party was already engaged and seemed to love his fiancée very much.

Princess Bian was not a fool either. She glanced at her and said nothing.

She knew her daughter best. Just by listening to her tone, she knew that her daughter was interested in the boy from the Gu family. She simply lowered her eyes and thought about the possibility of this marriage being successful.

The Gu family is full of civil servants. Although they hold high positions, they don't hold much real power. Given her husband's status and position, what does a second-rank general's mansion mean to her? Unless the Gu family is an idiot, even a fool would know which one to choose between the Bian Prince's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

Gu Luoheng had no idea that someone was still thinking about him at this moment. He left the table halfway through drinking to get rid of the smell of alcohol. Mu Fushu felt cold and didn't go with him.

However, someone in the crowd saw him leave and after much hesitation, he followed him.

Little did she know that Mu Qingli stared at her back with a raised corner of his lips and a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Sure enough, some people won’t give up until they reach the Yellow River!
