Chapter 22 Meeting Ceremony

Seeing that she was about to make a move, Jin Bao Yin Bao stepped forward and knocked out the rushing maid with a few palms.

Seeing that they dared to fight back, Mu Changhua was even more furious, he raised his hand towards Shen Qiqi and was about to wave it down.

Seeing this, Jin Bao quickly stood in front of her and raised his hand to stop her.

"Well, you maidservant, how dare you stop my princess, Ying'er, and ask the guards to come in."

Knowing that the two maids could not fight against him if they had time, Mu Changhua shook off each other's hand and let the maids call for someone.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Liu Qingyuan stood in front of her, still smiling, but her eyes were very cold.

"I will definitely tell my father what the Princess has done today."

"The two of us are here to enjoy the flowers, and the princess will make trouble as soon as he comes. Do you really think we are easy to bully?"

"But little orphan girl, my princess bullied me, so what can you do to me? Which family are you from? How dare you meddle in this princess' affairs."

Mu Changhua raised his head high, his arrogant appearance didn't pay them any attention.

An orphan girl from Jiangzhou, an ordinary official girl, they are not even worthy to carry their own shoes.

If it wasn't for Princess Suyang's post today, they wouldn't even take a look at their own faces, how could they talk to themselves here.

"My father, Liu Songxian, just came back from Jingzhou. The princess must not know him, but it doesn't matter. After tomorrow's court meeting, the princess will never forget it."

Grand Tutor Liu Song took office first, and it has been widely spread in Beijing and central China these few days. Mu Changhua has heard about it even if he doesn't pay attention to current affairs.

Knowing that he is an extremely protective person, Mu Changhua turned his gaze to Shen Qiqi.

"My princess didn't talk to you. I'm talking about this Jiangzhou orphan girl. Today, all the dignified official women are here. I don't know who is an official in Miss Shen's family?"

"If not, then it's fish in troubled waters. Then this face should be three feet thick."

This remark caused everyone to laugh, and Liu Qingyuan wanted to say more, but someone took a step ahead of her, and the icy male voice came across, and the icy feeling spread into the heart along the ears, making people's hearts tremble.

"The princess's face is big enough, but it's not your turn to comment on Gu's cousin."

When a familiar voice came, Shen Qiqi looked up, and Gu Tingshu was standing not far away, looking at him coldly.

The peach blossoms blown by the breeze surrounded him, and the few petals that fell on the hair top shoulders seemed to be contaminated with his breath, showing a bit of coldness.

Being blocked back in public, Mu Changhua blushed, and wanted to turn back, but met Gu Tingshu's gaze, and suddenly lowered his head again.

Although Gu Tingshu is only a marquis, he is extremely favored by the emperor and has a heavy army in his hands. Both his father and mother have warned him not to provoke him.

Standing beside Gu Tingshu, the crown prince saw that Mu Changhua's face was blushing, looking at the face of the royal family, so he stood up with a smile.

"The wind is a bit strong today, Chang Hua was probably confused by the wind, so let's take people back first, don't hurt your body."

Although he smiled, he didn't give Mu Changhua a chance to refuse. He waved his hands and asked someone to take her away.

Mu Changhua was taken away, and the noble ladies who came with him had no reason to stay any longer. They secretly glanced at Mu Chengze, but they could only reluctantly follow her away.

"Shen Qi, come here!"

Looking at Shen Qiqi who was protected by Liu Qingyuan, Gu Tingshu spoke.

His expression was indifferent, as if he was greeting someone who didn't care, Liu Qingyuan turned her head and looked at Shen Qiqi worriedly.

"Sister, don't be afraid, this is my cousin, he is an excellent person."

Liu Qingyuan was not afraid of what Gu Tingshu would do to her, but she was afraid that Shen Qiqi would be bullied, so she moved away when she saw a smile on her face.

"The courtier has met the prince, Marquis of Zhenbei."

"If there is nothing wrong, the minister will leave first."

Today's visit was just a formality, and seeing that the time was about the same, Liu Qingyuan was blessed and wanted to leave with her maid.

Mu Chengze glanced at her, only saw the indifferent eyebrows passing by, and wanted to take a closer look, but the other party had already turned his back.

He wanted to open his mouth to keep her, but met Shen Qiqi's curious eyes, so he smiled and waved to her.

"Come here, Gu will give you something nice."

His smile was too bright, Shen Qiqi was so scared that she subconsciously cast a look at Gu Tingshu for help.

Seeing Gu Tingshu nodded slightly, she slowly came over with her skirt lifted.

"Prince please be safe."

"You don't need those vain rituals, you are not only Ashu's cousin, but also the lonely cousin." Mu Chengze took off the jade badge on his waist, and said:
"This is the Eastern Palace Jade Card. With it, you can go wherever you want in the future, and no one will dare to stop you."

As soon as he took it out, it was such a precious thing, Shen Qiqi panicked and didn't dare to take it, she just called out "cousin" softly.

"Hey."

"Gudu responded, hurry up and continue, it's not a valuable thing."

Before Gu Tingshu could make a sound, Mu Chengze answered the "cousin" first, and directly ignored the murderous look in his eyes.

The jade token is indeed not worth much, but it is a great favor to come and go in and out of the capital at will. If she accepts it, if something happens in the future, she will not be able to stay out of it.

The little girl was even more timid than Xiao Que'er, so she rushed to give it to her, but she still didn't dare to take it.

Mu Chengze elbowed the person next to him, motioning him to speak quickly.

"Take it and play."

It's just a jade token, so just accept it.

He opened his mouth, Shen Qiqi finally dared to stretch out his hand, took it and saluted, then hid behind Gu Tingshu a few steps, and quietly poked his head out to have a look.

This cautious appearance is exactly the same as Su Yang's when he was a child.

Mu Chengze made a "tsk" sound, and couldn't help but took out a purse from his bosom and handed it over.

"The things I found out from the warehouse a few days ago are all small gadgets, let's play with them."

The jade token just now was still a small thing in his mouth, he had already taken the jade token, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to take it again, pinched the corner of Gu Tingshu's clothes and shook it.

Her actions that she thought were secretive were invisible to the two of them.

Mu Chengze was jealous and gave Gu Tingshu a supercilious look.

He's such an adult, and has a soft-tempered little sister who can act like a spoiled child, so it's really an advantage to him.

After Suyang was six years old, he started acting like a princess, and he hasn't been acted like a baby by anyone for more than ten years.

Why did all these good things fall on his head?That's what he looks like.

Mu Chengze couldn't figure it out, but in the end he could only attribute it to the other party's shit luck.

He turned around and opened the purse to show Shen Qiqi, "Look, I said these are all gadgets, right?"

In the palm-sized purse lay dozens of finger-sized animals, all of them lifelike, as if they were living things.

But this work is similar to the lamb that my cousin gave me.

Shen Qiqi raised her head, just in time to meet Gu Tingshu's gaze, she pursed her lips and smiled, revealing a sense of tranquility.

"Look at what he's doing, he'll just tell you to continue." As Mu Chengze said, he stuffed the purse into her hand.

"Take it, this is a gift from Gu to you."

After sending the things out, Mu Chengze was in a great mood, and waved for Shen Qiqi to go with him.
