Although she knew that Mu Qiluan would definitely treat her well, she was still very happy to hear his serious and affirmative answer.
Wan Ge blushed and kissed him on the cheek: "I like you so much, brother."
Mu Qiluan didn't say anything. He also loved Wan Ge very much, but he was too shy to say it.
…
Mu Qiluan mainly checked whether Wan Ge was awake and brought him the clothes prepared for the banquet that evening. He left again in the afternoon because of military business.
That evening would be a welcoming banquet, attended not only by the soldiers but also by the noble ladies of the capital. Although they wouldn't be with the soldiers, being able to attend a banquet at the palace was a dream come true for most of the noble ladies.
Perhaps I can find a young master from a prestigious family who is a good match for me, someone I can see in person and confirm whether I like him or not.
It was still quite early when the maid helped Wan Ge change her clothes.
When Wan Ge put the clothes on, she could really feel that the fabric was incredibly soft and comfortable. Even though the clothes that Minister Yun and his wife had spent a lot of money to make for their daughter couldn't compare to the outfit she was wearing now.
The clothes fit her perfectly; the misty blue color accentuated her beauty, making her appear even more like an unattainable goddess.
…
Wan Ge actually went there quite early. The original owner looked down on those women and usually didn't associate with them.
Wan Ge doesn't like to interact with too many strangers, so she found an inconspicuous corner and just stayed there.
Just as the banquet was about to begin, Wan Ge got up and headed to where she was supposed to go.
However, as she was passing by, she overheard people talking about herself and her husband.
"I heard from my father that General Mu is handsome and dashing, with an otherworldly appearance. He is not at all the person rumored to be as fierce and evil as a demon. Yun Wange is really lucky to be engaged to the general so early." I don't know why I didn't get such a good match.
At this moment, an extremely disdainful voice spoke up, saying, "How could you possibly want a woman who throws herself into a man's arms in front of everyone?"
Yes, for so many years, Yun Wange has always been one step ahead of her. The titles of "first talented woman" and "first beauty" all belong to Yun Wange, making her, who ranks second, feel particularly awkward. That's why she's always disliked this person.
I was quite happy to hear that she was engaged to the general, because he was rumored to be a burly man, resembling a demon, with a ferocious and terrifying face. No normal noblewoman would want to marry such a man.
However, to my surprise, the general was quite different from what I had heard.
Putting aside what his face actually looks like, his figure alone is a rumor.
They had no chance to see the general's true face. It was only when their father met the general in court today that he truly saw the general's appearance.
Wan Ge was well aware that they were just envious of her, so she let them discuss it.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard a clear female voice again: "Is this the etiquette of a noble lady? Gossiping behind people's backs, you really are something else."
The others turned around and saw the woman dressed in brocade and fine clothes; the bright red was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
At palace banquets, besides the Empress, only the Empress and the Emperor's daughter, Princess Yaojin, dared to wear red.
Qi Yaojin was the emperor's most favored daughter. Because she was born to the empress, no one in the palace dared to offend her. She loved the color red from a young age, so her father and mother allowed her to wear red, even on important occasions.
