Autumn hunting is no small matter, it is an annual hunt for the royal family.

In the past, relatives of the emperor were on the invitation list, and Mu Zhen declined every year because of an old leg injury. But this year... Regarding the prince's literary plan, the person invited was not Mu Zhen, but Mu Qiao Xi.

Mu Zhen's expression became a little heavy, but Su on the side could no longer hold back and stepped forward eagerly.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so kind. It is truly an honor for us, Xi'er."

OMG...

Mu Qiaoxi could only feel the emotion of rejection all over her body. Why should Mrs. Su be honored for her?

Before she opened her mouth, Mrs. Su rushed to please her and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a benevolent person, but sisters Xi'er and Ling'er have been inseparable since childhood and grew up together. In a world like Qiu Lie, Ruo Xi'er is

Ling'er will definitely be worried after the person is gone. Your Highness, you see..."

Su's flattering face clearly meant that she saw that Mu Qiaoxi was going to participate in the autumn hunt, and wanted to take this opportunity to push Mu Qiaoling over.

Compared to the reluctance of the previous Hundred Flowers Feast, Mu Qiaoling's attitude this time was very different.

Her eyes were full of eyes and her expression was extremely shy. Facing the stage that Su set up for her, she hurriedly went to sing.

"What mother said is that I am willing to accompany my sister and take care of her."

Take care of? Accompany?

Mu Qiaoxi still remembers how wonderful Mu Qiaoling's company was with her last time.

But Mu Qiaoling didn't care so much anymore. She had reached the age suitable for marriage. The appearance of Si Shaoqing gave Mu Qiaoling, who was in trouble, another opportunity.

That's the prince!

Even though the prince is giving Mu Qiao Xi a little more good looks now... Mu Qiao Ling thought bitterly that as long as she puts up a fight, she still doesn't know who the person standing next to the prince will be!

Now, Mu Qiaoxi was the best way for her to get closer to the prince. The thought of having the opportunity to step on Mu Qiaoxi and ascend to the throne gave her a twisted sense of satisfaction.

Mu Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. More and more people were coming around to watch the excitement, so he stopped a few people.

"Okay, His Royal Highness the Prince has many things to do every day, so you can talk here."

After saying something unpleasant, Su did not dare to say anything more and walked to the back with Mu Qiaoling.

Mu Zhen turned to look at Si Shaoqing with a respectful tone.

"On the matter of literary policy, I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for coming in person. I am very grateful. If it is convenient for Your Highness, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"

It was getting late now, so even if Mu Zhen wanted to drive people away, it would be a bit disrespectful.

Mu Qiaoxi stretched on the side, waiting for Si Shaoqing to say "No need to go back to the palace", then send the prince off respectfully, and then go back to the house to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Si Shaoqing actually stepped forward to support Mu Zhen who was saluting.

"Okay, Marquis Mu kindly invited me, but as a junior, I would be disrespectful to refuse."

Mu Qiaoxi: "?"

She looked at Si Shaoqing's face with a gentle and elegant smile. How thick-skinned was he?

Couldn't you tell that he was driving people away? He actually agreed?

Mu Qiaoxi thought to herself that this Si Shaoqing seemed to have social awkwardness.

Si Shaoqing spoke like this, and Su Shi and Mu Qiaoling on the side welcomed him in happily.

Only Mu Qiaoxi and Mu Zhen's father and daughter were left at the door.

Mu Zhen took a deep look at Mu Qiao Xi, his face full of heaviness and unhappiness.

When Mu Qiaoxi went to the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony even though she was ill, Mu Zhen was worried that the illusion of grandeur had blinded her eyes.

Unexpectedly, after Mu Qiaoxi made a big fuss at the festival, she would continue to interact with the prince without any hesitation.

I don’t know what the rumors outside will be like!

Just as he was thinking about it, Mu Qiaoxi slowly walked towards the mansion.

Mu Zhen heard her whisper, "My daughter naturally knows about her father's character. She has no intention of clinging to the prince. Even if the prince is making a show, the daughter can't expose it in public even if she doesn't want to. I hope her father can rest assured and trust her."

What she said was extremely calm and to the point.

Si Shaoqing is the king, and they are ministers. Even if they act proudly for the king, they have no reason to expose it in public.

Mu Zhen's frown relaxed unconsciously.

Forget it, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The most urgent task is to find a way to send the prince, this great Buddha, away.

Muhou Mansion was extremely lively tonight.

This great occasion almost coincided with the Chinese New Year. Mu Qiaoxi drank tea that was so rare and precious in the past that she couldn't bear to take it out, thinking that this was probably Su's attempt to show off in front of Si Shaoqing.

Su Shi diligently approached Si Shaoqing, who was discussing state affairs with Mu Zhen.

"I don't know what your Highness the Crown Prince's taste is. Please go down and prepare it."

Si Shaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Mu Zhen, who looked slightly unhappy.

"Just a homely meal is fine. Madam Hou doesn't have to worry too much."

After receiving such a polite word, Mrs. Su happily ran to the kitchen and personally directed people to prepare the dishes.

A table of home-cooked meals stunned Mu Qiaoxi. Twenty or thirty servants were running back and forth. The dishes on the table were as rich and luxurious as a banquet.

Mu Zhen saw this extravagance and seeing that the prince didn't say anything, he couldn't blame him face to face, so he had to greet him.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be formal. Come and enjoy your meal quickly."

Since Mu Qiaoxi entered the mansion, she has never said a word to Si Shaoqing, nor even looked at her.

Si Shaoqing sat on the right side of Mu Qiaoxi during the banquet, and was relatively close.

"Miss Mu Da, I see that you like spicy food. I guess that's why you have a strong and unruly temperament." Si Shaoqing drank a glass of wine and joked with Mu Qiaoxi in a neither salty nor bland tone.

With a cold face, Mu Qiaoxi swung the wine in the cup and drank it.

"The prince is joking. My daughter is born with this temperament, and nothing she eats can change it."

Mu Zhen was sitting on the main seat. Seeing Mu Qiao Xi choking the prince like this, he coughed nervously and signaled her to be more tactful.

Mu Qiaoling, who was on the other side, finally plucked up the courage after being prompted several times by Su's eyes. She picked up the wine glass and walked to Si Shaoqing with a shy face.

"It is truly an honor for me to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. I invite His Highness the Crown Prince to drink this cup to the full."

I don't know what happened, but Mu Qiaoxi watched Mu Qiaoling drink it "boldly" in one gulp, and she could smell a bit of dust in it?

Si Shaoqing followed the good deeds and drank a full cup.

"Your Highness, I love you so much. I wonder if I have the honor to serve His Highness."

Mu Qiaoling's mind was swaying, she pinched her throat delicately, and her hands had already reached out to the bowls and chopsticks.

The disdainful sneer in Si Shaoqing's heart was just like the vulgar and vulgar people he used to be, the things that would come and go with just a flick of his finger.

But on the surface, he is still the gentle and gentle young man.

"You have been wronged by asking the second young lady to prepare food for me. However, the second young lady is as meticulous as a hair. She will definitely do a thousand times better than those servants."

Si Shaoqing's soft voice reached Mu Qiaoling's ears, which already made her heart tremble and her face turn red.

Mu Qiaoxi saw this scene in her eyes and was speechless.

"Father, I'm a little drunk. I need to go out and sober up."

When she got up and walked to the door, she glanced at Mu Qiaoling.

"Your Highness, I will bring you apricot cake right away."

Mu Qiaoxi looked at Mu Qiaoling who was being treated like a monkey with pity.

"Tsk, I'm really dizzy. Sister, can you help me?"
