Chapter 63 See Through
The palace banquet that the emperor had prepared for Prince Han was about to arrive. Mu Qingqing originally wanted to stay put, but an order from the emperor dispelled her plan.

The emperor stipulated that all the women from official families who passed the imperial examination must participate.

Well, Mu Qingqing had no choice but to pack up and attend the palace banquet with Madam Mu.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Mu Qingqing was still wearing her iconic red dress. Her little face had fully grown up, and she looked pretty with a hint of heroism.

The eldest and second brothers were not at home as they had gone to the border, so the third brother was the only one accompanying Madam Mu and Mu Qingqing.

The two sisters-in-law also attended this time. Usually, they accompanied Madam Mu to palace banquets.

The family got off the carriage and happened to see the third prince's carriage coming from a distance.

Several people looked at each other. Mu Qingqing didn't say anything, but she was muttering in her heart, could this guy be waiting for me?
The carriage stopped and two people got off. One of them was the third prince, and the other was actually Chen Qingqian.

Mu Qingqing looked at her in surprise. This person was quite amazing. She actually attended the palace banquet as a concubine.

Originally, she was married as a concubine, had no dowry, and was on bad terms with the Mu family, so it was almost impossible for her to turn things around.

But this person did it. In just one year, she went from being a concubine to a concubine, and was even brought to the palace banquet.

Chen Qingqian's eyes lit up when she saw the people from the Mu Mansion. She had long wanted to show off.

She stood beside the Third Prince and bowed slightly, "Greetings, Madam Mu!"

The distant name seemed to deliberately reveal her identity. Although she was called a concubine, she was still a concubine, a high-level concubine.

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other. They did not have an imperial decree like their mother, so they had to show courtesy when seeing a concubine. Mu Jingchao and Mu Qingqing should do the same.

Madam Mu greeted the Third Prince first, and the Third Prince had been looking at Mu Qingqing since the beginning.

Mu Qingqing grew taller, her figure improved, and even her face became extremely beautiful.

"Ahem, Madam Mu, you don't have to be so polite. After all, we are all family."

Mu Qingqing looked at Chen Qingqian expressionlessly. They were family, and she was afraid that it would shorten her lifespan.

At this moment, a carriage approached, passed the third prince's carriage, and stopped right behind the people in the Mu Mansion.

The sign of Prince Han's Mansion on the carriage made the Third Prince's face change, and he felt sick all over.

Just when I was about to show off in front of a beautiful girl, a more handsome guy came, and there was no comparison at all. She was the bright moon in the sky, and I was just an inconspicuous star.

King Han appeared in front of everyone in purple clothes, and his eyes lit up when he saw Mu Qingqing.

After he got off the car, he bowed to Madam Mu and said, "Hello, Madam Mu."

Prince Han actually performed the ceremony of a junior? You know, Prince Han is as famous as General Mu, and he is also the uncle of the Third Prince and others.

Mrs. Mu looked terrified and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I have met King Han."

Madam Mu replied, and then the two sisters-in-law and Mu Jingchao and Mu Qingqing spoke politely.

"Greetings to His Majesty the King of Cold!"

King Han's gaze was always on Mu Qingqing. Although it was relatively hidden, Mu Qingqing still noticed it.

In a corner where no one else could see, Mu Qingqing glared at King Han fiercely.

King Han was in a very good mood, "Madam Mu, shall we go in together?"

"okay!"

Madam Mu and Prince Han were in front, and a few people followed behind them. This group of people completely forgot about the third prince Chen Qingqian.

The Third Prince was staring at Mu Qingqing's figure in a daze. Chen Qingqian was so angry that her teeth were itching. She originally thought that Mu Qingqing would greet her, but she didn't expect Prince Han to interfere.

Chen Qingqian hugged the third prince's arm, "Master, how dare they ignore you? Even Prince Han can't do this?" The third prince suddenly came back to his senses, and when he thought of his subordinates investigating what Prince Han had done at the border, he could not help but shudder.

He glared at Chen Qingqian and said, "Shut up. Who are you to criticize the emperor's uncle? If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

King Han is a living devil, killing people like crazy at the border, just like the god of death.

He shook off Chen Qingqian's hand. After all, he was of humble origin and could not understand the situation in front of him.

Chen Qingqian looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to act recklessly.

She had finally taken advantage of the Third Prince's wife's severe morning sickness during her pregnancy to attend the palace banquet with the Third Prince, and she couldn't mess it up.

The two entered the palace gate one after the other, and not far away were Prince Han and the people from the Mu Mansion.

Prince Han moved from his position in the front to stand next to Mu Qingqing, and seemed to be whispering something. Both of them were good-looking, and it was particularly pleasing to the eye standing together.

Mu Qingqing kept moving to the side, and everyone else followed behind, even Mrs. Mu.

The gazes of the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs made Mu Qingqing uncomfortable.

She raised her head and glared at him, then quickly lowered her head for fear of being discovered, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, her voice so low that only King Han could hear it clearly.

"King Han, can you please come forward? I don't want to be called a spineless person!"

King Han chuckled, "Why? Are you still afraid of this?"

Who was she afraid of? She just… just felt uncomfortable.

The cold fragrance on this person smelled very nice, and standing next to her, it was inevitable that she would be a little distracted.

Seeing Mu Qingqing's dilemma, King Han finally let her go. He deliberately quickened his pace and walked past her, but when he looked up, he saw that everyone was almost there.

Mu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back and walked to her two sisters-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law couldn't come back to her senses at this time, "Little sister, aren't you afraid standing next to King Han?"

"Yes, little sister, King Han has a very strong aura, worthy of being the God of War."

The second sister-in-law whispered that although they were married, it was not good to talk about other men.

Mu Qingqing glanced at the two of them in surprise, "Why are you afraid? King Han is very approachable to common people like us."

It's true that King Han doesn't get angry easily and treats them kindly, but he is too cold and hardly speaks.

The eldest sister-in-law suddenly had an idea and asked a question, "Do you think that King Han will fall in love with our little sister? Could it be that the legendary God of Death has started to take advantage of her?"

Madam Mu's body tilted and she almost sprained her ankle. She broke out in a cold sweat and scolded in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't let anyone hear it."

Especially King Han, please don't hear it.

She was still very happy that her cabbage was taken away, but that was the King Han, how could he take the initiative to take away the cabbage? If Qingqing took away someone else's cabbage in return... it was not impossible.

Finally arriving at the place, Mrs. Mu managed to pull herself back to her senses. Her mind was filled with the image of her daughter taking the initiative to seduce King Han.

Mu Qingqing's mouth twitched slightly. Who is the King of Cold? He is a god in heaven. If she lets the King of Cold take advantage of her, she is afraid that her life will be shortened.

The second sister-in-law seemed very curious and pulled the eldest sister-in-law to the side to whisper.

General Mu had arrived a long time ago. He had attended palace banquets many times and knew all the rules.

Although Mu Qingqing learned martial arts, she knew the etiquette and manners she should know, so naturally no one would find fault with her.

Every palace banquet is almost the same, and can be considered a blind date banquet. For example, Mu Jingchao is of age, and although he does not hold an official position, he is good at business and earns enough money.

Mrs. Mu also wanted to find a wife for the third son, so she observed very carefully.
