Mu Xuanyi winked at Xiaolongbao and thanked him quickly!
Xiaolongbao received Mu Xuanyi's hint, picked up the gold hairpin, and started to bite it.
"Don't bite!" Mu Xuanyi grabbed her hand, and Xiaolongbao blinked in confusion. Shouldn't he first make sure it's real gold?
Mu Xuanyi coughed: "She was too hungry, so she thought of this as food. Please don't be offended."
Liang Fei smiled and shook her head: "Of course not. This little girl is so frank and cute. I like her very much."
She touched Xiao Longbao's head, her eyes full of love.
It happened that the palace maid came back and said that the meal was ready, so the group went to eat together.
Xiao Long Bao had never eaten such a sumptuous meal. He had a chicken leg in his left hand, a piece of pork ribs in his right hand, and fish meat that had been shaved by the palace maid in his mouth.
Mu Xuanyi couldn't bear to look directly at him. Could she say that she didn't know that person?
"If it's not enough, ask the imperial kitchen to make some more." Concubine Liang looked at the empty plates piled high in front of Mu Xuanyi, feeling heartbroken.
The Mu family is not abusing the two of them, right? It makes them hungry.
"Then I'll have another sweet and sour pork tenderloin and another chestnut cake, thank you." Mu Xuanyi ordered the dishes politely.
The palace maid has never seen such a battle, but the other party is a guest after all, so she goes down to organize it.
After eating and drinking enough, Mu Xuanyi touched her belly and burped with satisfaction.
"The prince is feeling better. Do you want to go see him?" Concubine Liang took the opportunity to ask.
Mu Xuanyi wanted to refuse, but when she thought that she and Xiao Long Bao were still eating and drinking here, she paused in her refusal and put on a fake smile on her face.
"Of course I want to go. I haven't met His Highness the Crown Prince yet."
Xiao Long Bao was so full that he lay on his back and didn't want to move, but Mu Xuanyi still pulled him down.
Seeing her accusing look, Mu Xuanyi flirted with her: "We share the blessings and suffer the hardships together."
Liang Fei didn't notice the little movements of the two people, and happily led them over.
Mu Xuanyi had not yet changed into her wedding dress when she came to the East Palace again. The silly prince was squatting in the palace.
He was looking at one place attentively, and a large number of palace maids and eunuchs were guarding behind nervously, fearing that he would get sick again.
"Yuan'er, look who mom has brought here?" Liang Fei looked at Baili Yuan and spoke softly.
Bailiyuan didn't answer and didn't even move.
Liang Fei could only walk over and patted Bailiyuan on the shoulder. Bailiyuan turned around, saw her, and smiled: "Mom!"
"Yuan'er, mother has brought someone here for you. Take a quick look." Concubine Liang motioned to Mu Xuanyi to come over.
Mu Xuanyi was wearing a red wedding dress, as gorgeous as fire. Bailiyuan's eyes fell on her, but they were only clear.
"Who?" Bailiyuan tilted his head and blinked in confusion.
"She will be your wife in the future, Yuan'er. If she gets married, you have to treat her better." Concubine Liang was thinking about this and told Baili Yuan.
Bailiyuan's beautiful eyes showed confusion. He still couldn't understand what a lady was.
"Mom! Play!" He pointed to the corner of the bluestone brick, where a group of ants were moving. Bailiyuan was fascinated by it.
Liang Fei sighed and stood up.
"Is the prince ready for dinner?"
After getting a positive answer, she returned to Mu Xuanyi and stared at Bailiyuan in trance.
Mu Xuanyi remained silent. This was her first time meeting the prince, and she didn't want to do anything to ruin the atmosphere in front of the mother and son.
Bailiyuan's legs were numb from squatting, so he changed his focus to catch butterflies and almost fell down several times. Concubine Liang was worried about his health and asked the maids to coax him back to rest.
When the palace returned to silence, Liang Fei sighed leisurely and smiled lightly at Mu Xuanyi: "Go back."
Mu Xuanyi nodded. Even Xiao Long Bao was very quiet today. She lowered her head and saw that Xiao Long Bao was nodding his head, obviously about to fall asleep.
Liang Fei noticed this and smiled with a real smile: "I will arrange a place for you right now."
Liang Fei originally wanted to wait for the prince's illness to get better and let Mu Xuanyi get married to him as soon as possible.
However, no good news has come back from the East Palace in the past few days, and the prince's health is getting worse day by day. The good concubine can't even eat, and her already thin body is even weaker, as if she could fall down if the wind blows.
Mu Xuanyi and Xiao Longbao were ignored and ran around happily in the palace.
There were not many opportunities to enter the palace, not to mention that Xiao Long Bao also said that there was the aura of her mother here. In order to help Xiao Long Bao find her mother, Mu Xuanyi had to take her around every day.
"Miss Mu is elegant and happy."
That day, the two of them were admiring flowers in the imperial garden, when Mu Xuanyi heard someone calling her.
She turned her head and looked at the man who was wearing a dark blue robe and looking sexy. She couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
"Who are you?"
Bailiping's mouth twitched. Did she forget about herself like that? This personality is indeed different from other ladies from aristocratic families, and she is also very lively.
"Miss Mu, noble people often forget things. We have met before, and this king is the third son of the current emperor, Bailiping." He was not angry and introduced his identity.
Mu Xuanyi then remembered that there was indeed such a person that day, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Third Prince, dog... ahem, your majesty wants you to come into the palace?" The dog emperor almost blurted out, but Mu Xuanyi coughed twice and covered it up.
Bailiping nodded: "But the matter has been resolved. I wanted to go out for a walk, so I met Miss Mu. It seems to be fate."
He showed a gentle smile to Mu Xuanyi, and many young ladies in the capital were fascinated by him. As long as he was willing, Mu Xuanyi would not be an exception.
"oh."
Mu Xuanyi didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, she was thinking about what she should eat at night.
The food cooked by the imperial chef was so delicious that she was a little reluctant to leave, but she also didn't want to marry the prince. It was too difficult to choose.
"Can Miss Mu leave the palace? The good concubine has left you here because she wants you to marry His Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing that she was lukewarm, Bailiping started to encourage her again.
Mu Xuanyi blinked: "I know."
She just knows, that’s why she’s struggling~
"I can help Miss Mu get out of the palace. Then Miss Mu won't have to worry about her engagement with His Highness the Crown Prince," Bailiping said confidently, "But Miss Mu has to promise me one thing."
The more Mu Xuanyi listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "When did I say I was leaving?"
"Ah?" Now it was Bailiping's turn to be surprised.
"I think it's a good place here. I can have enough food, clothing, and people to serve me. I'm not going to leave until Concubine Liang drives me away."
"If the Third Prince is fine, I will leave first."
