After Consort Rong left, the scene was completely silent.
It wasn't until the Empress spoke up, saying, "Today the garden is full of flowers; everyone is welcome to go and enjoy them."
The implication was that everyone should go and enjoy themselves as they pleased.
Hearing the Queen's relaxed tone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Queen got up and left the main stage, everyone went to meet their friends to play. Some continued to sit and chat, while others got up and went to other places.
Shen Nanzhi chatted briefly with Mu Chenshuang, then invited her to go for a walk or sightseeing elsewhere.
Just then, a eunuch walked up to him and said respectfully, "General Shen, Her Majesty the Empress requests your presence."
Shen Nanzhi frowned, her mind troubled. After all, she was worried about Mu Chenshuang being alone, but she could not disobey the Empress's orders.
"I see."
After saying that, he looked at Mu Chenshuang and said, "I'll be back in a bit."
Mu Chenshuang gave a faint "hmm".
Shen Nanzhi got up and followed the eunuch away.
Xue Jiajia, who had been consciously avoiding him, turned around and walked towards Mu Chenshuang after Shen Nanzhi left, asking in confusion, "General Shen, what urgent matter is there?"
Mu Chenshuang slowly stood up. "I don't know. Let's just take a walk."
As she spoke, she turned and walked toward a less crowded area, not even glancing at the man diagonally opposite her.
Because Fu Junheng was wearing an eye patch, it was difficult for people to notice that his gaze was fixed on Mu Chenshuang without any concealment.
Others might not know, but Feng Ji saw it quite clearly. He reached out and picked up his teacup, leisurely taking a sip of tea, and said in a low, teasing voice, "They've left, aren't we going to chase after them and check on them?"
The words had barely left his mouth.
The man sat up.
Suddenly, a soft voice called out, "Cousin Junheng..."
Fu Junheng glanced at Feng Anxue with a detached look in his eyes, then left without saying a word.
Feng Anxue felt a sharp pain in her heart, her eyes widened with tears, and as she couldn't help but catch up with him, a deep voice called out, "Anxue."
A moment.
Feng Anxue seemed frozen in place, unable to move, and turned to look at Feng Ji, who was leaning back in his chair.
Feng Ji looked up at her, his eyes cold and clear. "Why make things difficult for yourself? Can't you see?"
Feng Anxue clenched her fingers, her eyelids lowered slightly, her eyes glistening with tears. She bit her lip in resentment and said, "Third Brother, do you really think there's any possibility between them?"
Feng Ji twirled the teacup in his hand, his posture languid. "Can't you sense that he has absolutely no romantic feelings for you? Do you really think you have a chance?"
Even though it was true, hearing Feng Ji say it caused her heart to ache as if it were being torn apart. "Who knows what will happen in the future?"
After Feng Anxue finished speaking, she quickly left.
Xiao Qingyu quickly followed.
This is a relatively secluded garden within the Imperial Garden. The flowers here have not yet bloomed, making it look somewhat desolate, so almost no one comes here to admire it.
Mu Chenshuang took the initiative to start a conversation with Xue Jiajia, asking her how her martial arts practice had been going recently, and offering her a secret manual to try.
Xue Jiajia is practically a martial arts fanatic. She gets incredibly excited when talking about martial arts manuals, and once the conversation starts, she becomes quite talkative.
At this moment.
She felt a chilling pressure on her back. When she turned around, she saw the figure standing not far away in the corridor they had just passed, walking towards her.
It really startled her. She cautiously touched Mu Chenshuang's shoulder and said, "Oh, Crown Prince Junheng has come along."
Mu Chenshuang certainly knew.
