She could predict many things, but she absolutely could not predict that Mu Bai was the third prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty!
Nanyang’s third adopted son!
Mu Bai looked at her for a long time, just watching quietly.
After a while, he nodded: "Well, I'm...Nan Mubai."
Han Shanggong looked surprised: "Third Prince, Ninth Princess, do you... know each other?"
Mu Bai nodded and said with a smile: "When we were in Chu State, we met several times."
The shock in Chu Qingge's heart was forcefully suppressed.
This is the Imperial Palace of the Southern Jin Dynasty. No matter what friendship they had in the past, they cannot reveal it easily in the palace where danger is hidden.
"Yes, we have met several times. Mr. Mu Bai once made tools for me, but I didn't know at the time that the little craftsman was actually the third prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty. He really has a blind eye and cannot see the mountains."
Mu Bai's thin lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but because Han Shanggong was there, he could only say softly: "...I'm sorry."
Qingge said nothing and smiled back.
Han Shanggong laughed loudly and said: "I didn't expect that the third prince and the ninth princess would have such a connection. They are really destined."
She greeted: "You two, please take a seat."
Qingge walked over and sat opposite Mu Bai.
The table is not big, and it doesn't look like a dining setting for Her Majesty the Queen.
The small round table and a few side dishes made it feel warm and peaceful.
"Third Prince and Ninth Princess, I have to go back to serve Your Majesty, so I won't disturb you two from eating."
Han Shanggong smiled all the way and left, feeling even better than before.
The palace maids and guards retreated, and soon, only Qingge and Mubai were left in the palace.
Nan Mubai...
Qingge retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes.
After everyone else left, Mu Bai immediately said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, it's just..."
"My husband is safe and sound, so I feel relieved. As for his identity, I still say the same thing. Who doesn't have some secrets?"
So, she is not angry?
Mu Bai seemed a little uneasy: "Then...am I still your friend?"
These words surprised Qingge.
She raised her eyes and looked at Mu Bai, her eyes flashing slightly: "Sir, he never said the word friend before."
Mu Bai looked at her and said nothing.
Qingge also looked at him. Even though he said this, he was actually in a very good mood.
I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart.
At this time, seeing him appear in front of her safely again, at least, she felt relieved.
"Let's eat. Don't let down His Majesty's wishes." She picked up her chopsticks and took the lead in taking a bite of the dishes.
It looks like a small dish, but every dish is a meticulous masterpiece of the royal chef.
The vegetables are the tenderest sprouts, and the meat is also the tenderest and most delicious part.
Even the fish meat is made from the meat of the fish head and face, which is smooth, crispy and tender, which you would never have the chance to eat at ordinary times.
It can be seen from this meal that Her Majesty the Queen treats the third prince very differently.
After dinner, Mu Bai sent Qing Ge back to Yong'an Hall.
There was no need to take the chariot now, they walked back slowly.
"Why did Your Majesty arrange for us to go on a blind date?"
"Blind date?" Mu Bai looked down at her, and after thinking about it, he understood.
He smiled and said: "I don't know, maybe you are of value to His Majesty."
"..." Is it really okay to speak of your Majesty the Queen like this?
Chu Qingge almost rolled her eyes: "You can't say that she likes me very much and wants to use you to keep me here?"
