This matter took place within the Marquis's residence.
Kneel down!
The guards forced Qingkui to kneel before Mu Chenshuang.
Qingkui knelt heavily on the ground, already panicked and at a loss.
Mu Chenshuang toyed with the bottle in her hand, her gaze indifferent, and asked in a neither too loud nor too soft tone, "Whose person are you?"
Qingkui knelt on the ground with her head down, her fists clenched tightly, her fingers tightening, and fine beads of cold sweat already appeared on her forehead.
How could she know that she had already been discovered?
Mu Chenshuang glanced at her coldly, "You're not going to talk?"
The seemingly calm and gentle voice pierced Qingkui's heart like a cold thorn. Now that she had been discovered, she absolutely could not betray the princess.
"Princess, you may do as you please with me."
Mu Chenshuang sneered, "Is that so? You do have some backbone. It's clear you're a very loyal maid, which I admire. It's a pity you only have backbone, but no brains."
Qingkui lowered her head and remained silent.
Mu Chenshuang stared at her, "Since you have so much backbone, then let me see just how tough your bones really are."
The chilling tone made one feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Seven Nights, I'm entrusting the person to you. Before I return, I need to know what I want to know," Mu Chenshuang instructed.
"I know."
Then Aoi was brought down.
Before leaving, Mu Chenshuang instructed Qi Ye, "Do as I say, and don't let her notice anything unusual."
"I know."
Afterwards, Mu Chenshuang left the Marquis's residence by carriage and arrived at Wanyue Lake.
Today's main event is on a tall ship docked at the shore. Feng Anxue invites noble ladies and gentlemen to gather on this ship to compose poems, enjoy delicious food, and appreciate the beautiful spring scenery.
On the deck, the air was already filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the rustling of hair. Women smiled and whispered, while young men in elegant robes chatted amiably with them.
A loud shout rang out, "Princess Weiyang has arrived!"
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to the person who had walked so gracefully towards them. Although the people here had already witnessed her beauty before, they were still amazed every time they saw her.
She wore a long purple dress that accentuated her slender and tall figure. Her bright and beautiful face, lightly made up, was so stunning that it was impossible to look away. Her face was as smooth as jade, her eyes sparkled, and her aura was captivating.
The crowd paid their respects in unison.
Mu Chenshuang said calmly, "No need for formalities."
Her seat was arranged in an excellent location, but there were no people she knew there, so no one came up to talk to her. Most importantly, Mu Chenshuang exuded a cold and aloof aura that made her difficult to approach.
Linglong accompanied her as she admired the scenery on the lake.
It wasn't until Wei Xu arrived and saw Mu Chenshuang that he went up to her and chatted for a few words.
At this moment.
At a loud announcement that Princess Anxue had arrived, everyone stood up and bowed respectfully.
After the formalities were over, the invitees took their seats.
Feng Anxue sat in a high position, her indifferent gaze sweeping over Mu Chenshuang sitting below. Seeing Mu Chenshuang sitting calmly and composedly, a hint of jealousy arose in her heart.
She thought to herself with a ruthless glint in her eyes: "Mu Chenshuang, I will make sure you never have a moment of peace."
Mu Chenshuang seemed to sense something and raised her eyes.
Even though Feng Anxue quickly concealed her gaze, she still noticed it and silently lowered her eyes to look away.
Feng Anxue suppressed her resentment and maintained the proper dignity and etiquette of a princess. After saying a few words to everyone in an official manner, she...
The eunuch announced the start of the competition, and Feng Anxue wrote a character, from which the contestants began to compose poems.
