"Bai Qingchen, you've eaten and spoken, what exactly do you want to do next? Speak clearly and don't play those empty words in front of me. I won't fall for your tricks!"

Mu Ci wiped his mouth, took a sip of tea, and looked at Bai Qingchen.

Bai Qingchen didn't say anything, but just held a fan and fanned himself intermittently, his eyes fixed on Mu Ci.

"You have really changed."

When he said this, the previous nonchalance on his face was gone, the corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

If Qiu Muci in childhood was just fun for him, then this person now, many years later, gave him the urge to explore.

Mu Cisi remained unmoved, her expression still showing a little pride and arrogance that showed she didn't care about anything.

"People will naturally change over the years. Haven't you changed too?" Mu Ci threw the ball back.

When Bai Qingchen heard her say this, he just laughed. He raised his hand and poured himself another glass of wine. He tilted his head back and drank it, then wiped his mouth casually.

"My master has passed away. I have come down from the mountain to pursue what I want."

When Mu Ci heard what he said, she was stunned for a moment. She saw that Bai Qingchen's eyes were rippling with tears, but they were unusually firm.

She remembered that Bai Qingchen had always been interested in medicine since she was a child.

Recently, a banquet was held in the palace. The emperor specially invited many noble ladies to attend. Some outstanding children of officials were also among them. The banquet was held in the Ningdian Garden in the palace. The scenery there is nice and the place is spacious. It is a perfect place for a banquet.

Mu Ci came here with Bai Qingchen. Although it is not suitable for ordinary young ladies from official families to travel with men, Mu Ci is an exception in Qingxia Kingdom. She has always acted boldly and has no rules that she has seen or remembered in her heart. In addition, Bai Qingchen was brought to her by the emperor, so she didn't care anymore.

That day in the tavern, after talking it out with Bai Qingchen, the other party said that he was only staying there temporarily for a period of time, mainly to cover up his tracks. If she could agree, he could guarantee that no matter what Mu Ci did, he could even cover for her with the emperor. Mu Ci thought it was okay, and the two hit it off.

Currently we are in a good cooperative relationship.

Mu Ci vaguely knew the reason for the banquet in the palace this time. He simply wanted to find a concubine for the fifth and eighth sons among these young ladies from official families. Since she didn't know where to start, she would start with the fifth and eighth sons. In short, they had to get married first.

Mu Ci was speechless. No matter whether it was in ancient times or modern times, why did parents like to let their children go on blind dates so much? The banquet held in the Ningdian Garden of the palace was a large-scale blind date venue in ancient times. If the other person fell in love with each other and the emperor could accept them, he might immediately issue an order to allow the marriage.

“…”

Actually, she didn't want to come this time, but this was an important plot, so she had to come even if she didn't want to.

In this plot, the hero Wen Xiuqi will block the attack from the Demon Cult for the heroine Gong Rong. Although she doesn't understand why the Demon Cult chose such an inappropriate time and place to attack, since it is possible, she can't just ignore it.

Her mission was to help Wen Xiuqi cure his cold poison, but she couldn't add any strange poison to it, because then she would be the one who would have to work hard.

When Mu Ci and Bai Qingchen behind her entered the venue, they found that almost everyone in Ningdian Garden had arrived. The palace maid took Mu Ci to her seat, and when she just sat down, she heard the ninth prince Qiu Yingfa in front of her right say with a smile: "Oh, Tenth sister, you have changed someone again, but this time you have a good taste, this boy is very handsome."

Hearing his words, Mu Ci frowned, but Bai Qingchen on the side looked relaxed, as if he was not the one being talked about. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he looked like he was not afraid of getting into trouble.

The emperor sitting on the high throne snorted, signaling Qiu Yingfa to behave himself.

However, he didn't say anything about Qiu Yingfa's teasing on Mu Ci.

Because he has a good relationship with Bai Qingchen Mu Ci's master, he treats Bai Qingchen like a close junior. If he can really get Xiao Shi to control her temper, it is not impossible for the two of them to be together.

The emperor's attitude made everyone present change their view of Bai Qingchen next to Mu Ci. It seemed that this young man in white was very much favored by His Majesty.

Another person who obviously did not cast an impudent gaze on Bai Qingchen was Wen Xiuqi. He was sitting opposite Mu Ci, and his eyes were always on Mu Ci from beginning to end, but his gaze was so natural and calm that people around him could hardly notice anything.

Only the rippling water cup in his hand revealed a hint of his emotions.

"This tenth princess was in love with our master a few days ago, but she found a new lover within a few days. Fortunately, you, my master, did not become her consort." Otherwise, she would have to wear a cuckold every day.

"Heifeng, if you keep talking nonsense, just let Heiyu take your place." Wen Xiuqi's face darkened and he warned in a cold voice.

Heifeng immediately shut up and dared not say another word.

The banquet was really boring. Now was the time for the young ladies from the official families to show off their talents. This had nothing to do with Mu Ci. Mu Ci drank some wine and ate the sumptuous dishes in front of him without even bothering to lift his eyelids.

Bai Qingchen, who was standing by, saw her like this and hit her on the head with his fan again. He said angrily, "Junior sister, how come you have been so useless since you were a child? You only know how to eat and eat. Look at those quiet young ladies from official families, and then look at you. Learn from them!"

Although he and Mu Ci had already discussed the cooperation between them, Bai Qingchen couldn't help but want to go up and tease her when he saw her interesting look.

The next moment, Mu Ci stopped what she was doing. She tilted her head to look at Bai Qingchen who was laughing happily. She threw the food in her hand onto the plate and smiled: "Brother, do you know what I like besides eating?"

Bai Qingchen was stunned for a moment and replied, "What?"

"Hit someone!" Mu Ci said viciously with gritted teeth.

Mu Ci snatched the bone fan from his hand and hit him hard on the head.

Bai Qingchen grunted in pain, his face full of surprise.

This girl actually dared to hit him?

Before he could recover from his shock, Mu Ci hit him hard on the top of his head again.

"You've cleared it twice. If you dare to hit my head again, I will beat you up again next time." Mu Ci warned him.

Wen Xiuqi saw all the little actions the two of them made together. His face looked a little gloomy and his eyes were dark. He kept staring at Mu Ci, not knowing what he was thinking.

The black wind behind him trembled and dared not say a word.

The master is so scary!

"Gong Rong, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, presented a song of phoenix seeking phoenix."

When Mu Ci heard this, he immediately calmed down and stopped talking to this idiot. The people from the Demon Cult would probably be here soon, and Wen Xiuqi...

Wait, what's that look in Wen Xiuqi's eyes?

Mu Ci's mouth twitched.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like he is blaming her. Wait, it seems like she hasn't done anything to offend him!
