Jiang Ning returned to the kitchen, took a mooncake, and tasted it carefully.

Before a piece of moon cake was finished, the eunuch from Chengqian Palace came in a hurry.

As expected, he was stopped by Mu Jian at the door.

The eunuch was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Pass your Majesty's oral instructions to the Crown Princess for an audience! General Mu, do you dare to resist the decree?"

Mu Jian was silent for a moment and moved away.

When Jiang Ning passed by him, he handed him a mooncake and said with a smile: "General Mu, you have worked hard. Today is the day of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. I give you this mooncake to try, and it will ease the pain of missing your family."

Mu Jian's back was straight, motionless, and he said coldly: "Beizi has no parents or family members alive. His Royal Highness is the person closest to Beizi. It is appropriate for Beizu to work here."

Jiang Ning stopped and asked, "So General Mu doesn't have a wife either?"

"No."

"This is the fault of His Highness the Crown Prince. Why don't you even worry about the life-long affairs of those close to you?"

"... I have no intention of starting a family for the time being."

"That's right, a real man should first establish a career and then have a family." Jiang Ning stuffed the mooncakes into his hands and said with a smile, "If you don't have a family, it doesn't prevent you from eating mooncakes. Let's just express our condolences."

Ignoring Mu Jian's expression, Jiang Ning walked out with light steps, saying as he walked: "Hui Ying, watch the door. Gucheng, let's go."

A black shadow flew over and landed exactly next to her: "Wheelchair?"

"No, there's no need to resort to leg-pain tricks today. Let's walk." Jiang Ning turned her palm over and sent a piece of mooncake to Gucheng. She said with a smile, "What even Mujian has, we Gucheng must also have." .”

Gucheng reached out to take it, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Is it sweet?"

"Of course it's sweet." Jiang Ning lowered her voice, "The ingredients used in this mooncake are much better than Mu Jian's. It's sweet and fragrant, try it."

"Um."

Gucheng put it in his mouth and nibbled on it.

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "You are too delicate when eating, like a little girl."

Gucheng said nothing and gnawed on the mooncake with great seriousness, as if he were the most precious food in the world.

After he finished eating, Jiang Ning asked: "Is it delicious?"

"good."

"Do you still want to eat? But I didn't bring it with me. I'll be back later and let you eat as much as you like."

"Don't eat."

"Don't you like it?" Jiang Ning glanced at him, "Could you be complimenting me on purpose?"

Gucheng was silent for a long time before speaking again: "You can't eat sweets."

"What?"

"Toothache." Gucheng said again.

"Oh, you have a toothache?" Jiang Ning looked at him funny, "How much candy did you eat, kid?"

Gucheng thought for a while and said: "I used to follow the general and ate too much. I have a toothache and I can't eat too much now."

Jiang Ning laughed loudly: "So this is the trick that uncle used to train you, to seduce you kids with candies?"

Gucheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Jiang Ning didn't know much about his past, but those chosen by Jiang Mubai for training were either poor orphans or from poor families.

It is understandable that such a child would like to eat some sweets after suffering too much.

The master and servant chatted while walking.

Mainly because Jiang Ning said it, Gucheng listened quietly.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival night, there is a banquet in the palace and harem. In addition to serving people, the eunuchs and maids can also be lazy.

Therefore, I didn't meet many people along the way.

Jiang Ning walked outside the Chengqian Palace door and walked straight forward without stopping.
