Halfway through the banquet, after three rounds of wine, everyone was already slightly drunk. The conversation gradually became more relaxed.
Mu Yunqi looked at everyone, then lowered his eyes and smiled." I've never heard that the Prime Minister has such a young daughter. She really hid it well before.”
The Left Prime Minister was stunned and smiled in embarrassment. He patted Xu Ling 'er's head and said lovingly,""When this child was born, his health was too poor, so he was sent out of the capital to recuperate.”As he spoke, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart." His Highness said that he met my daughter in the temple today. Could it be that my daughter did something inappropriate and offended His Highness? Your Highness, please do not hold it against her. She just returned to the capital and doesn't know etiquette."
Mu Yunqi smiled and waved his hand." Your daughter is such a gentle woman. Why would she offend me? Prime Minister, you're worrying too much." He paused slightly as he spoke." I see that your daughter has also reached the age of marriage. I wonder if she has a marriage?”
Mu Yunqi's words shocked everyone.
The meaning of his words was already very obvious. He had an improper desire for Xu Ling 'er.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned over.
Xu Ling 'er's face was slightly red. Just as she was about to stand up and speak, a cold voice sounded behind everyone.
"A beauty like Miss Xu naturally has a marriage partner long ago.”
Everyone's gaze followed the voice and turned around. Mu Yunlan was dressed in white as she gracefully walked over. That cool breeze and jade-like appearance did not fit in with the high-ranking officials present.
Mu Yunlan did not seem to notice everyone's gazes. She walked straight to Xu Ling 'er and took out a peach blossom from her sleeve." Ling' er, this is for you."”
Xu Ling 'er glared at him and took the flowers. She leaned on the Left Prime Minister's shoulder and said coquettishly,""Dad, look at him. He's always late.”
The Left Prime Minister laughed and said nothing.
Mu Yunlan raised her eyebrows slightly." I spent a lot of effort to get this spring flower for you."”As he spoke, he propped up his head with his hand and lowered his voice with a doting look in his eyes." But when I got here, I realized that you're prettier than spring.”
Stunned, Xu Ling 'er blushed and turned her face away.
Mu Yunqi looked at the two of them and an ominous feeling flashed across his heart.
"Ninth brother, you…"
"Your Highness." Mu Yunlan turned and bowed." I forgot to introduce you. This is my fiancée." Xu Ling 'er. I saw the Crown Prince's appearance just now. You seem to have seen him before.”
Mu Yunqi was stunned and looked at him in surprise. In order to prevent others from getting there first, he had already rushed over as fast as he could. However, she did not expect that she had already become someone else's fiancée.
Jealousy and jealousy instantly surged out of his heart.
His face darkened and he said stiffly,""When did Ninth Younger Brother find such a beauty? Why didn't you tell BenGong so that everyone would be happy for you?”
Mu Yunlan laughed and waved her hand." We haven't gotten married yet. I wanted to give you a surprise." He did not expect it to be said out loud.”
As he spoke, he sat down beside Xu Ling 'er.
"I didn't expect that the dissolute Ninth Brother would be starting a family now.”Mu Yunqi teased her with a smile, but his gaze fell on Xu Ling 'er.
It was absolutely impossible for him to so easily give up the destined daughter who could obtain the world.
He had to hold this woman in his hands no matter what. He definitely couldn't let anyone else take it.
Especially Mu Yunlan!
Mu Yunlan smiled gently and placed the pastries in front of Xu Ling 'er. She then raised her head to look at Mu Yunqi and winked at him."His Highness the Crown Prince didn't even leave me a way out. Ling 'er is still here."
He looked like a young man who was afraid of his wife, and everyone could not help but laugh.
Mu Yunlan raised her wine cup." Your Highness, since you've already met Ling 'er today, please forgive me if Ling' er contradicts you in the future."”
Mu Yunqi responded sullenly and did not say anything else.
However, he had already thought of thousands of ways to get Xu Ling 'er to his side. However, neither method seemed appropriate.
From the looks of it, Mu Yunlan didn't seem to know about Daoist Priest Worriless 'calculations. Then he still had a chance.
Mu Yunqi picked up his wine glass and took a sip. A glint flashed across his eyes. "Ninth brother, have you set the wedding date?" he asked with a smile.”
"There's no rush."
"I heard from the Prime Minister that Miss Xu did not grow up in the capital, so I think she is not very familiar with the etiquette of the palace. Recently, he had a conflict with Zhen 'er in the temple.”
Mu Yunlan was shocked and subconsciously looked at Xu Ling 'er." You had an argument with the Crown Princess Consort?"”
Xu Ling 'er looked at Mu Yunlan with an aggrieved expression and was about to speak. Mu Yunqi continued.
"It's not a big deal. Ninth brother, don't blame her. It was just that in the future, Ling 'er would marry into the royal family and become a family. The Imperial Palace was different from the outside world. There were more rules and etiquette to follow. Bengong saw that Ling Er had just returned to the capital and did not know anyone. Why not let Zhen Er teach her?”
"No." Mu Yunlan refused without hesitation." Ling 'er has already offended the Crown Princess Consort. If she goes to the Eastern Palace again, wouldn't she be causing trouble for His Highness?" I'd better help Ling 'er find an aunt to educate her. There's no need for Your Highness to worry about this matter."
Mu Yunqi was slightly stunned. He did not expect his attitude to be so firm on Xu Ling 'er's matter. Could it be that he knew something?
Or was it because of that prophecy?
Mu Yunqi pursed his lips tightly as the abacus in his heart spun rapidly. After a long time, he said,"Even if I don't get along with Zhen 'er now, I will still be together as a family in the future." Ling 'Er, what do you think?"
Mu Yunqi's words were gently tossed to Xu Ling 'er.
Xu Ling 'er looked at Mu Yunlan at a loss. She lowered her eyes and said respectfully,"Since it's the Crown Prince's intention, this official's daughter naturally has no reason to reject. Moreover, this was indeed a good thing. As long as Your Highness doesn't mind my noise.”
Mu Yunqi was delighted. Seeing the worry on Mu Yunlan's face, he smiled and said,"Alright, Old Nine, since Ling 'er has already agreed, you don't have to insist anymore, right? Don't worry, I'll definitely help you take good care of Ling 'er.”
Mu Yunlan frowned, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
The next morning, Xu Ling 'er boarded the carriage to the Eastern Palace.
The carriage swayed through the main road of the capital and arrived at the luxurious and majestic Eastern Palace. Xu Ling 'er lifted the curtain and looked at the magnificent building outside. An endless chill spread out from her heart.#
