Chapter 287
In short, Mu Zhixu became more and more mysterious in the hearts of others, making many people curious.

"I heard that the princess is back? Look, I want to pay a visit to the princess. I don't know if it's convenient or not." Mu Zhixu looked at Xia Houqing and asked.

She has something to ask Princess Zhenbei, but Xia Houqing is her ally, and even more a friend, so of course she must let her know.

Moreover, Mu Zhixu is not very sure that Princess Zhenbei will meet her.

But Xia Houqing's words made her somewhat unexpected, "My mother and concubine have long wanted to see you."

After Mu Zhixu's eyes lit up, she poured cold water on her, "But don't have too much hope, my concubine wants to see you, because you are the daughter of her best friend, she won't talk about other things."

"Is this the original words of the princess?"

"Well, I have actually asked many times about the past, but my concubine never told me, she just said that it is not yet time, she seems to have something to consider." Xia Houqing lowered her voice.

Mu Zhixu was thoughtful, Princess Zhenbei didn't tell her daughter, and she definitely wouldn't tell her.

She temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​getting clues from Princess Zhenbei.

This is not a place to talk, and they didn't continue to chat.

It happened that Princess Changle came over and stopped talking.

"I saw you chatting enthusiastically from afar, what are you talking about?" Princess Changle's face was full of smiles.

"I'm talking about you, today's birthday star is brilliant." Mu Zhixu smiled jokingly.

She didn't lie.

Princess Changle is wearing a bright red floor-length dress, a ruby-inlaid belt wraps her slender waist, and a large peony flower is embroidered on her chest. Her jet-black hair is tied in a bun, and her head is a gorgeous filigree inlaid with rubies. Noble and dazzling.

She is a noble lady of the royal family, so of course she deserves this attire.

"Just make fun of me." Princess Changle embarrassedly covered the corner of her mouth with a round fan.

Several people laughed when they saw this.

It happened to be seen by Princess Nan'an and several wives who came in from outside. Princess Nan'an knew that her daughter was close to Lord Yaoguang, but she did not expect that Princess Jing'an was also familiar with Princess Yaoguang.

Unavoidably, he treated Mu Zhixu differently.

The other wives had different thoughts, and everyone looked at Mu Zhixu in different ways.

But today's protagonist is Princess Changle, and no one without eyes will find fault with her at her birthday banquet.

There are... also idiots.

"Mother and concubine!" Princess Changle stood up and saluted.

The other wives all have orders, but there are few first-rank wives. There is only one present, and the rest are below second-rank. Even Mrs. Fu is only a second-rank wife, and the other is a third-rank Shuren.

It stands to reason that they should salute Mu Zhixu and the others.

After all, according to rank, Mu Zhi Xu Shi is the first rank, Changle princess and Jing'an princess are the second rank.

"I have seen Princess Changle, Princess Yaoguang, Princess Jing'an..." Even though some were reluctant, they had to salute.

Today, Princess Changle is the protagonist, and both Mu Zhixu and Xia Houqing are looking at her.

Chang Le smiled, "You ladies are welcome."

The majesty of the royal lady is very full.

The only one who didn't salute was Mrs. Jiang, the future mother-in-law of Princess Changle. She is the old lady of Weiyuan Hou Mansion and the future mother-in-law of Princess Changle. How could she salute Princess Changle? She sat down indifferently. She didn't even look at Princess Changle.

Seeing this, Mu Zhixu frowned slightly.

From the corner of the eye, she saw that Princess Changle didn't care at all.

Princess Nan'an arrived, the banquet began, and delicate dishes were served one after another.

This banquet is not enough to eat, when Mu knew that Xu and the others had already eaten at home.

Just eat symbolically.

The dishes at the banquet really taste... average, mainly because the time is too long.

But a few snacks are amazing.

After the banquet, it’s time to play. There is a famous lotus pond in the capital of Nan’an Palace. When the lotus is in full bloom, ladies can go boating to pick lotus pods, which is also a special experience.

Since no male guests are invited today, everyone can relax and play.

"It's better to be young. These girls are as tender as spring onions. It makes people happy to see them." The old lady of the Zhang family, Zhang Suwan's grandmother, said with a smile.

She glanced at her granddaughter and nodded secretly.

"Yes, especially Ms. Zhang, she is as beautiful as a flower." A lady flattered her.

However, Mrs. Zhang's smile faded a little.

This straightforward compliment is really out of the ordinary.

Mrs. Jiang smiled, "Miss Zhang is indeed pretty, but compared to Princess Jing'an, Princess Yaoguang... especially Princess Yaoguang, whose beauty hides the past and present, and the lotus flower shames her beauty, isn't this a true portrayal ?”

After the words fell, the eyes of all the ladies fell on Mu Zhixu.

She happened to pick a lotus pod that was closest to her, and handed it to the little girl beside her, with a smile on her face and an outstanding appearance.

No one can say without conscience that she has bad looks.

Even Mrs. Zhang, who seemed to have eaten a fly, had a slightly stiff smile on her face.

Immediately thinking that Princess Yaoguang had already engaged to Marquis Dingyuan, the smile on her face became more real.

However, thinking about the conflict between the mansion and Princess Yaoguang years ago, she still had displeasure in her eyes.

Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. Zhang meaningfully, and then at Princess Nan'an, who had been silent all along, gloating in her misfortune.

Some people's plans... are about to fail.

Bah, she doesn't want to become relatives with the Zhang family, it's disgusting.

On the other side, Mu Zhixu on the boat looked at Zhixia who was suffering from lotus seeds into a bun face with a smile, and couldn't help but smile, "Who told you to really eat it? You deserve it."

Then, she peeled it off again, peeled off the lotus heart, and handed it to Zhixia, "You try it now."

Zhixia suspected, "Sister, you are not playing tricks on me, are you?"

Obviously, the bitterness just now left a shadow on her.

"How is it possible, I'll show you." Mu Zhixu put the lotus seeds into his mouth without changing his expression.

The unique sweetness of lotus seeds spreads in the mouth.

Zhi Xia dubiously followed her, peeled one and put it in his mouth, then his eyes lit up.

"Yeah, sister didn't lie to me,"

"When did I lie to you?"

Mu Zhihe watched them making trouble, the three of them and the maid who rowed the boat were the only ones in the boat.

"Cousin, try it, it tastes very good." Zhixia peeled one and handed it over.

They have never eaten fresh lotus seeds.

All they eat is lotus seed soup.

Mu Zhihe was about to eat it when he suddenly heard the sound of someone falling into the water.

The three of them searched for the sound and saw that there was already chaos there. Mu Zhixu saw someone jumping into the water with sharp eyes.

"Didn't it mean that no male guests were invited?" Mu Zhihe was puzzled.

Apparently, she also saw who it was that jumped into the water.

"Marquis Weiyuan is the fiancé-in-law of Princess Changle, he is normal." Mu Zhixu said something unclear.

She suddenly... understood who the person who fell into the water might be.
