Today, he was unusually dressed in a snow-white light fur coat. Unlike usual, he did not tie his hair with a golden crown, but simply tied a strand of black hair on the top of his head with a ribbon of the same color as his robe. His sideburns fell naturally over his shoulders. It was a very ordinary outfit, but he looked indescribably handsome.

At this moment, the white-robed young man, slightly drunk and gazing at the moon with the help of alcohol, was completely oblivious to the people staring at him in a daze. He was so engrossed in his self-indulgent fantasy that he could not extricate himself from the wine and the hazy moonlight.

Recently, he has been repeatedly attacked and retaliated against by Yu Qianqian. He feels like he is going crazy and he has to find a way to numb himself. So after thinking it over, he realized that the only way to deal with a woman like Yu Qianqian who is not swayed by either soft or hard tactics is to fight fire with fire.

Therefore, the peach blossoms that were originally intended to be dealt with by herself on the day of the palace selection were picked again, which led to Ye Xiyan entering the palace and spreading rumors near Fengyi Palace.

Mu Zixuan found it hard to understand Mu Beichen's extreme approach. Even if he was playing hard to get to Yu Qianqian, such a clumsy method would drive an ordinary woman crazy or at least make her beg for forgiveness sooner or later. But who was Yu Qianqian? How could she fall into a trap so easily just because of jealousy? For her brother to think he could use this to make her beg for forgiveness was simply wishful thinking.

Holding the wine glass in both hands, he examined it carefully, showing no intention of taking a sip. After a moment's thought, he sincerely advised him, "However, Your Majesty, I have a feeling that if you two continue to quarrel like this, something terrible will happen sooner or later. If things get out of control, don't blame me for not warning you."

"No need to worry too much. She's so capable, what could possibly happen to her?" Mu Beichen returned to his seat and continued drinking, completely nonchalant. "Mu Zixuan, instead of worrying about these trivial matters, you might as well just enjoy a drink with me."

After saying that, she unexpectedly snatched Mu Zixuan's wine glass, filled it to the brim, and then brought it to his lips, forcing him to drink with her.

"What am I supposed to be at ease about?" Mu Zixuan said anxiously, "If I stay here drinking with you, my seventeen wives and concubines will be left alone again. For the sake of our brotherhood, please, please let me go, okay?"

With a flick of his wrist, he downed the wine in his cup in one gulp. Mu Beichen glanced at him with disdain and said, "Mu Zixuan, do you really think having a harem of concubines is something to brag about?"

"Look at you, still so young, yet you've already picked up a whole host of bad habits. You're really making the Mu family proud!"

"Do you know what people are saying behind your back? The words are as nasty as can be. If you didn't know better, you'd think that our Mu family, the entire royal family, is as lustful and unrestrained as you."

Mu Zixuan listened to his merciless scolding, and on the surface he dared not say anything, but in reality he had already cursed him out in private.

"Who do you think you are, getting on in years and still unable to handle a woman like that? People who don't know better would think you're no good."

He turned his face away and secretly cursed Mu Beichen before turning back to speak solemnly: "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel unwell and must not keep you company any longer."

After saying this slowly and deliberately, she couldn't wait for Mu Beichen to speak, taking it as a tacit agreement, and took the opportunity to stand up and run away in a flash.
