Chapter 153
Murong Qing pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled slightly.

"What does it matter? The previous conflicts are from the past. Now we have a common enemy. Isn't an enemy's enemy a friend?"

"You must know that the third prince treats Liu Qing very badly. He beats and scolds him every now and then. Now those servants in the mansion don't respect Liu Qing. Do you think Liu Qing can't hate the third prince?"

Murong Qing was very optimistic about this matter, and his analysis was relatively transparent, which made Pei Mo slightly surprised.

"It seems that you have a lot of information on this matter. Since you think it is feasible, then do it." Pei Mo expressed his support for this, and Murong Qing was also greatly moved.

The two returned to the General's Mansion, Murong checked and found an opportunity to go to Mingyue Tower and gave Yanru some tasks.

Yan Ru sent back the news soon.

"Boss, it has been found out that Liu Qing will attend the moon appreciation banquet held by the government in a few days, and you should be able to see her at the banquet then."

"A moon feast?"

Murong Qing is very familiar with this banquet, it is an activity organized by some officials' wives, and it has become a common practice among officials in the capital.

It's just that this activity stipulates that only women can participate, and men are excluded, so it has become a way for various officials to communicate with each other.

Murong Qing didn't like this kind of kowtowing social occasion before, so he never went there once.

"Boss, are you going to participate too?"

Yan Ru obviously also understood Murong Qing's preferences, guessing that she was going to attend this banquet, so she asked.

Murong Qing nodded: "That's right, I must attend this banquet, and I must meet Liu Qing, otherwise Ruyan's rescue will be very difficult."

"In that case, you must be careful."

Murong Qing left Mingyue Tower, returned to the General's Mansion, and called Ping'er over.

"Ping'er, go to the best silk shop in the capital to order a suit for me these few days, and I'm going to attend the moon feast in a few days," Murong Qing ordered without panting, "It's best to go In the jewelry store, help me buy a batch of hairpins, as well as rouge and gouache, and buy a set of them all."

Ping'er's eyes widened after hearing this, as if he didn't know Murong Qing, he stared blankly at her for a long time.

"Ma'am... what's wrong with you?"

Murong Qing usually didn't like these makeup powders, Ping'er knew it since she was a child, but she was a little surprised when she heard that she suddenly wanted so many things and had to buy a full set.

"You don't usually want these things, why do you suddenly have such an idea today?"

Murong Qing saw that Ping'er was cute in a daze, so he smiled.

"I used to think it was troublesome and didn't want to get these things, but don't I want to go to the moon appreciation banquet recently? If I don't dress better then, I won't be gossiped by them behind my back, saying that our general's mansion is so shabby?"

When Ping'er heard that Murong Qing was going to attend the moon appreciation banquet, she felt that what she said was very reasonable, so she nodded in agreement.

"What Madam said is not wrong at all. We will wear the best clothes and bring the most expensive jewelry, so that they will also envy Madam."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense here, go and buy things for me."

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the moon viewing.

Murong Qing changed into Ping'er and bought a new dress, put on makeup conscientiously, took the expensive hairpin with him, got into the sedan chair, and left for the banquet at Mrs. Shangshu's house.

The banquet was lively and lively. As soon as we walked to the gate, we saw a red carpet spread out from the inside and stretched to the gate.

"Ma'am, here we are."

The bearer yelled outside the sedan chair, Murong Qing opened the curtain and walked out, raised his eyes to look inside the door, and saw several officials' wives walking in, chatting and laughing all the way, the conversation was very lively.

Mrs. Shangshu arranged the hall warmly and solemnly. Murong Qing went in and took a look, and felt very comfortable.

Several officials' wives were gossiping with each other and inquiring about various gossip, when they suddenly saw Murong Qing walking in from the outside, they were all taken aback.

The whole hall was noisy just now, but now when Murong Qing appeared, there was no sound.

"What's the matter? Is this why I'm not welcome?"

Murong Qing also noticed that these officials' wives seemed to be reacting a little strangely, so he asked with a generous smile.

Although Murong Qing usually acts a bit cold, but she is the general's wife after all, and her status is noble. If she can get close to her, there will be many benefits.

A group of officials and wives had all sorts of small ideas in their minds, and after a few seconds of being dazed for a few seconds, they came forward with smiles all over their faces.

A group of people immediately surrounded Murong Qing, and an older wife even held Murong Qing's hand enthusiastically, asking for his health.

"Oh, my sister is a rare visitor. I've never seen you attend this banquet before, so I thought you didn't like it." The lady said with joy and full of emotion, and instantly resolved the embarrassment just now.

"It's not that when my sister came, we didn't expect it, so we were surprised. Now that my sister is willing to play with us, it's too late for us to be happy. How can we not welcome it?"

As he spoke, the man took Murong Qing's hand, walked inside while talking, found a chair and asked her to sit down, like an old friend who has known him for a long time.

Murong Qing beat up the official's wife up and down, saw that she was a little older, knew more about the world, and was able to handle affairs with ease, so he couldn't help smiling.

"What did my sister say? I didn't come here rashly because I was not familiar with it before. Didn't I also want to get acquainted with you sisters this time, so that I can get acquainted with each other?"

Murong Qing's official courteous words were also slick, but Lian's other wives were greatly surprised.

"My sister is really joking. Since my sister is willing to come and chat with us, let's watch the moon together tonight."

Murong Qing was smiling and nodding, when suddenly he heard a voice coming from the inner room, looked up, but saw Liu Qing slowly coming forward while supporting Mrs. Shangshu's arm.

"Liu Qing." Murong Qing was stunned.

Liu Qing must have come to this banquet for the sake of the third prince, but it was just to win the hearts of the third prince.

And Liu Qing also happened to see Murong Qing at this time, his expression froze, and then he turned away indifferently, as if he didn't recognize him.

Murong Qing had a panoramic view of Liu Qing's eyes, and when all the officials and wives were surrounding Mrs. Shang Shu, he walked to her side.

"Liu Qing, can I have a private chat with you? I have something important to tell you."

After a while of silence, Liu Qing looked indifferent, and finally said slowly: "I don't seem to have anything to talk to you about. If there is nothing else, I will leave."

Knowing that Liu Qing still had a grudge against him, Murong Qing also sighed lightly.
