Upon hearing this, Jiang Yao immediately turned to look at Jiang Ge, "Jiang Ge, what did you mean? What do you mean by saying this banquet won't be so simple?"
"..."
A barrage of questions came out of Jiang Yao's mouth, and Jiang Ge glanced at her lightly, "Think carefully, who are the people invited to this banquet?"
"A lady from a prominent family!"
Jiang Yao frowned and replied, "What does it matter?"
"..."
Jiang Ge felt that there was no beating around the bush when talking to Jiang Yao. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "This banquet was attended entirely by ladies from noble families, not even a single minister was invited, so it's very likely that it's for selecting imperial concubines."
“”
Jiang Yao was taken aback, seemingly still not understanding. However, the carriage suddenly stopped at this moment, so she had no choice but to shut up and not ask any further questions.
The three of them had just gotten off the carriage and taken a few steps toward the palace gate when a luxurious carriage suddenly blocked their way.
Mo Shisheng recognized Ming Beiya's carriage almost immediately. She stood quietly in place, waiting patiently for the man to come out.
Zhu Que seemed to have not seen Mo Shisheng for a long time. When he got off the carriage, he cupped his hands to her and said, "Sister Shangguan."
Seeing this, Mo Shisheng nodded slightly, and the next second a tall figure stepped out of the carriage. His long legs easily and steadily landed on the ground.
As Ming Beiya walked up to Mo Shisheng, his long arm instinctively reaching out to pull her soft body into his embrace, Mo Shisheng whispered, "Ming Beiya, you better watch the occasion!"
"..."
Suddenly feeling wronged after being scolded, Ming Beiya reluctantly withdrew her outstretched hand, her dark eyes fixed intently on Mo Shisheng, her gaze seemingly penetrating the mask on Mo Shisheng's face.
Noticing the change in the man's emotions, Mo Shisheng glanced at him and saw a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Mo Shisheng's lips twitched slightly, and she said, "That's enough, we just met last night!"
"not enough."
The man replied seriously, "Ah Sheng, you don't miss me at all."
"..."
Mo Shisheng died suddenly!
She desperately wanted to grab Ming Beiya by the collar and yell at him! Where had that aloof and noble man gone?! Why did he seem like a complete idiot now?
As if sensing the doubt in Mo Shisheng's eyes, Ming Beiya leaned down gently, his thin lips very close to her ear, and heard him say calmly, "Only good to you."
"..."
The sudden sweet words were a bit too much for Mo Shisheng to handle. Before she could reply, her arm tightened, and she was pulled back a step.
Mo Shisheng was slightly taken aback, and turned around to meet a handsome face. "Shangguan Xuan, what are you doing here?"
"Um."
Shangguan Xuan nodded slightly, not answering Mo Shisheng's question, but instead turned his gaze to Ming Beiya. Their eyes met in the air, as if sparks were colliding between them!
After a long while, Shangguan Xuan was the first to look away, "It would be best for the Grand Preceptor to avoid suspicion, after all, Yan'er is still an unmarried girl."
Upon hearing this, Ming Beiya coldly withdrew his gaze. Seeing that Shangguan Xuan's hand was still gripping Mo Shisheng's wrist, he walked over, pulled the girl to his side, and led her into the palace.
Mo Shisheng: "..."
Shangguan Xuan's hand suddenly went empty. He hadn't expected Ming Beiya to openly snatch his mercy, and he had let his guard down for a moment.
