Unlike what others thought, Mu Nanyan was thinking about what delicious food there would be on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. A bright full moon hung in the sky, bringing a touch of warmth to the dark night.
Tonight, a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner will be held in the palace, and palace servants can be seen busy working everywhere.
"Many people will come to the palace to attend the dinner tonight. Everyone must ensure the safety of the emperor and the empresses." Chief Guard Zhou Su said to his men.
"Yes," the guards answered in unison, their voices deafening.
While on patrol, Zhou Su met the second prince Mu Qingyun.
"Your Highness the Second Prince, what are you doing..." Zhou Su asked in confusion.
He was quite familiar with Mu Qingyun and asked casually.
Mu Qingyun hushed at him and looked across.
Under the osmanthus tree opposite, a young girl was looking at the tree anxiously.
"Mimi, it's dangerous up there, come down quickly." The girl called gently to the kitten on the tree.
"So you are here." She stood on tiptoe and tried to pick up the cat.
After trying for a long time, the kitten still didn't come down.
She tried a different approach, turning around and looking the other way.
The girl had an extremely beautiful face, eyes as clear as water, a nimble figure, and she exuded an aura all over her body.
Mu Qingyun seemed to be attracted to her and walked towards her unconsciously.
"Do you need help?" A cold and gentle voice sounded in Yun Qingyue's ears.
She turned around and saw the handsome man in front of her. A trace of surprise flashed across her face, and she quickly saluted him: "Your Highness, the Second Prince."
Mu Qingyun smiled and looked at her, pointed at the tree, and continued to ask: "Excuse me, young lady, do you need my help?"
Yun Qingyue suddenly realized that he was asking about the cat in the tree. For some reason, she felt a little lost.
"Your Highness, it's okay. I can do it." How could I let Your Highness do such a thing?
Yun Qingyue stood on tiptoe again, thinking that she could pick up the cat, but after trying several times, it still didn't work.
Standing on tiptoe made her body a little unsteady. She didn't look carefully and wanted to hold on to a tree next to her, but unexpectedly she grabbed something hard.
Hmm? What is this?
She lowered her head and looked in the direction of the hand. She was so scared that she quickly let go. How could he grab His Highness's arm? Her heart almost jumped into her throat.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." The girl said a little embarrassedly.
"No problem." A light laugh passed by her ear.
What should she do now?
She was a little anxious. Did she really ask His Highness for help?
In her anxiety, Yun Qingyue did not notice that Mu Qingyun's eyes were always on her.
Looking at her lively expression, Mu Qingyun felt as if a feather was passing through his heart.
"Why don't I do it?" Mu Qingyun suddenly moved closer to her. They were very close, their bodies almost touching. She could even smell the pleasant woody scent on him.
Her heart was beating fast, and in order to hide herself, she quickly lowered her head, and a blush appeared on her face.
Mu Qingyun didn't pay attention and focused his mind on the tree. He saw the cat on the tree.
It was a white cat, very small, very well-behaved and lovable.
He stretched out his slender arms and gently scooped up the cat.
Mu Qingyun handed the cat to her. "Here."
She took the cat carefully, not daring to look it in the eye. She just glanced at it casually, pretending not to care.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, for your help." Yun Qingyue said softly.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Mu Qingyun had an indescribable feeling. This was the first time he had this feeling, but he didn't quite understand what it was.
He waved his hand and smiled: "It's nothing, you don't have to thank me. By the way, I haven't asked the girl's name yet."
Mu Qingyun helped her rescue the cat and was very nice, so Yun Qingyue had a good impression of him.
She looked up into his eyes. There was only her reflection in his eyes, as if there was only room for her in his eyes.
After realizing this, she quickly shifted her gaze and looked to the side. "My name is Yun Qingyue."
"Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk. Qingyue, what a good name." Mu Qingyun couldn't help but recite it several times.
How did Your Highness know that her name was taken from this poem? It seems that Your Highness is really a talented person as the world says.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. This is the name my father helped me choose." Yun Qingyue replied uncomfortably.
Suddenly, the kitten in her arms moved, and Yun Qingyue touched it and comforted it.
"It looks like it's hungry. Let's ask someone to feed it something later. This kitten is clean all over. It's probably a pet raised by someone in this palace." Mu Qingyun guessed.
"How about this, if you trust me, give the cat to me and I'll ask my mother to find out who lost the kitten."
This cat seems to be raised by a concubine in the palace. If people misunderstand that Yun Qingyue caught it and deliberately caused trouble, there will be trouble.
Although he was not afraid of trouble and was willing to testify for her, he was afraid that she would get hurt, and he didn't know which family she was from. Was she the daughter of the Grand Tutor?
Give him the cat and no one will blame him.
Yun Qingyue understood what he meant and handed the cat to him without thinking, "Your Highness, I believe you."
When Mu Qingyun took the cat, his hand accidentally touched hers. He felt that her hand was different from his, soft and boneless, making him reluctant to let go.
"Let's go, the party is about to start, let's go first." Mu Qingyun held the cat and turned to her.
The two of them smiled at each other, accompanied by the falling osmanthus flowers from the tree, it was a beautiful picture.
What they didn't know was that there were a pair of eyes in the dark, secretly watching them.
There was anger in the man's eyes, and he almost stepped forward to pull them apart.
Yun Qingyue, just wait for me, you actually dare to seduce my brother Yun.
When Mu Qingyun and the others arrived, the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala was about to begin.
Emperor Hui, the Queen Mother, the Empress and others sat on high seats, while the ministers sat below. They were having dinner and watching singing and dancing performances.
Mu Nanyan drank milk and glanced at the crowd. She saw her royal brother and a beautiful woman walking towards her, and her interest grew.
[It’s been so long, and the second brother finally came here. Where has he been?]
[Could it be that he has a date with a beautiful lady? Who is that beautiful sister next to him? She is a perfect match for the second prince.]
The second brother has a girl he likes? Otherwise, why would Yan'er say that?
No, I want to see which daughter the second brother likes.
When Emperor Hui heard Mu Nanyan's voice, he looked at the crowd curiously.
Looking at this girl's face, she is indeed pretty.
At this time, Mu Qingyun was planning to help Yun Qingyue sit down first, and then slowly return to his seat. He felt a strong gaze on him.
He looked in the direction of that gaze and asked, "Father, why are you looking at me? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Mu Qingyun touched his face uncomfortably.
