Chapter 101 Becoming a foil
How dare he say that the country is his betrothal gift? But according to the trajectory of the previous life, the other party did it.

Mu Qingqing didn't want to talk. In her previous life, she sacrificed her entire family so that the Third Prince could secure his throne. Now that she had a new beginning, was she going to continue down the old path?

It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if Prince Han wants to sit in that position in the future, Mu Qingqing will not be afraid of risking her family's lives because she believes in Prince Han.

Mu Qingqing suddenly laughed, "Sorry, I don't want to block an unknown future!"

Proton was stunned for a while, then gave a bitter smile, "That's right, how could I, a small foreign proton, let you place a bet?"

Mu Qingqing shook her head. "The prince is a rare talent. I believe that what you want will succeed. However, I like Han Chen and want to be with him..."

When talking about Han Chen, Mu Qingqing felt sweet in her heart. Feelings are two-way, and she wanted to work hard for their future.

Proton looked at him in a daze. If he could have met Mu Qingqing earlier and been braver when he was hesitant, would his and Mu Qingqing's ending be different?
Knowing the other party's thoughts, Mu Qingqing felt uncomfortable. After saying a few words, she said goodbye and left with Master Lu.

As soon as she opened the door, Mu Qingqing looked into a pair of dark red eyes.

She suddenly laughed, "Hanchen, are you here to see me?"

King Han glanced at the proton in the room with provocation in his eyes.

"Well, I just happened to see you enter the teahouse, so I followed you over to take a look."

Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly. Oh, are you jealous?
King Han's eyes were darting around, and he didn't look at Mu Qingqing. Perhaps he realized that this was a bit childish, so he turned around and looked at Mu Qingqing with grievance.

Mu Qingqing looked at him with smiling eyes and reached out to hold his big hand, "Okay, let's go back!"

Mu Qingqing knew that King Han’s second consciousness had awakened, and it seemed to appear more frequently recently.

But the second consciousness is very dependent on Mu Qingqing, and she also likes this kind of King Han.

Proton stood up and saw the two off. They stood side by side, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and only saw each other in their eyes.

He covered his chest, which seemed hollowed out.

Yes, how could a tiny proton like him compare to the god-like King Han?
Mu Qingqing came out of the teahouse, and King Han insisted on taking Mu Qingqing out for dinner, and Mu Qingqing agreed.

The two came to a restaurant and found a quiet corner with a screen to block everyone's sight.

The restaurant lobby is not quiet and always feels a bit noisy.

But Mu Qingqing likes this feeling very much.

There was a storyteller in the restaurant, telling a story about a young man from a poor family who became a doctor and was given the title of genius. He then lived a good life with his widowed mother and sister.

Mu Qingqing was fascinated by the story. The story seemed very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.

Seeing his curiosity, Prince Han picked up a bite of food for her and then said calmly, "The scholar he is talking about is named Shen. He passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen and is seventeen this year. Everyone says he is a genius boy and is most likely to win three prizes in a row!"

King Han read Shen Xiucai's article and felt that it was indeed good, but there was always a sense of incongruity. The data and ideas were not written in depth. King Han just thought that the other party was young and had not thought about some things carefully.

Since it was King Han who said this, this person must have real talent and knowledge.

When I got home, it was already afternoon and my second brother happened to be hosting a banquet.

The second brother has many friends, both from official circles and from academies, all of whom are outsiders. Mu Qingqing doesn't want to meet them, so she just walks around them.

Mu Qingqing was talking in a low voice with Master Lu when suddenly a gentle voice came.

"Hello, young lady, may I ask how to get to the second young master's yard?" Mu Qingqing frowned and looked at the other person, only to see that the other person was dressed in white, with a jade pendant on his waist. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a faint smile.

He bowed, neither humble nor arrogant, with a gentle look between his brows. What a gentle young man as gentle as jade.

The boy was very tall, with a straight figure like a pine tree.

Before Mu Qingqing could answer, Master Lu stepped forward and stood in front of Mu Qingqing. "Young Master, the second young master's yard is in front. Go through a long corridor and turn left, and you will see the second young master's yard!"

The young man thanked him quickly and left.

Mu Qingqing frowned, not knowing what she was thinking. Master Lu came up to her and said, "Qingqing, the boy just now was just a little better looking, with a scholarly air. He might have bewitched her. Don't forget, you have King Han."

Mu Qingqing came back to her senses and rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Master Lu, what are you thinking? I'm not stupid. I have stars, but I'm still staring at a broken pearl."

Master Lu was relieved when he saw that she was clear about the situation.

"It's fine as long as you know what's going on! Why are you staring at him blankly?"

Mu Qingqing shook her head, "I'm not in a daze, it's just that this person is quite different in age from my second brother, and he actually received my second brother's invitation to a banquet, I'm afraid he's not simple!"

The two looked at each other in silence, thinking that this abrupt meeting, although seemingly accidental, might not be simple.

It seemed like he was targeting her, but how confident was he that he would fall for a bookish boy?
Mu Qingqing didn't take this episode to heart. Since he came for her, they would have the chance to meet again in the future.

It is impossible for Mu Qingqing to be attracted to anyone else. How many men in the world can compare to King Han?
Whether in terms of official position or strength and financial resources, few people can compare with him.

Moreover, Prince Han's handsome appearance is unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for Mu Qingqing's good looks, he would probably feel ashamed of himself.

Anyone standing next to King Han would become a foil.

When the young man returned to the banquet, he did not attract any attention. His second brother just greeted him with a smile. After all, the two were not familiar with each other, and Mr. Shen was brought by his good friend.

Mr. Shen smiled gently and was humble and polite in front of everyone, which made everyone like him.

There was a flash of disdain in his eyes, and he felt in a good mood when he thought of the dazed look of that stupid woman just now.

As expected of a useless lady from the capital, she can't even walk when she sees a handsome guy.

What the Mu family’s eldest daughter is? She’s a complete fool.

But it's better this way. As long as he shows a little bit of talent, people will rush to like him.

Mu Jingyang didn't know what Shen Xiucai was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely chase her out. What kind of person is he? He covets his younger sister, but looks down on my younger sister. How shameless he is.

The scholar Shen in front of him was the talented young man that was talked about in the capital. It was said that he was the one most likely to win the top three places in the imperial examination this year. He had a bright future. Even though he came from a humble background, many people rushed to curry favor with him.

Unfortunately, this person has set his sights on Mu Qingqing, and is doomed to be in trouble.

This man is quite courageous. He falls in love with Prince Han's woman and is not afraid that Prince Han will make things difficult for him.

Shen Xiucai had been instilled with the idea since childhood that women of officials were tools for their advancement, and as long as they could control them, they would be able to rise to the top.

It’s a pity that his thinking was biased.
