Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 714 The Day of the Birthday Banquet
Soon, it was the day of the emperor's birthday banquet.

Early in the morning, a maid gave Mu Huaxian a brand new dress. It looked very low-key, similar to what the maids wore, but the fabric was completely different. Very comfortable.

The maid who brought the clothes told her that Nangong Yu would come and walk with her in a while.

Not long after she changed into her clothes, Nangong Yu came, looked Mu Huaxian up and down for a while, and said with a smile: "You don't look like a servant when you wear servant clothes, but you look like a master."

Mu Huaxian pretended not to understand the meaning, twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled, and asked, "Should I go?"

Nangong Yu turned his head to look at the sky, and said: "It's almost there, let's go there first, and we will set off together when everyone is here."

All the people in the palace first meet in the square, and then go out of the palace together in sedan chairs or on horseback, while the ministers and family members outside the palace can go directly to the suburbs later.

When Mu Huaxian and Nangong Yu arrived, most of the ladies of the palaces, princes and princesses, and the envoys who came to celebrate the birthday had already arrived, and there were a number of exquisite and gorgeous sedan chairs neatly parked beside them.

Mu Huaxian glanced around the crowd, then lowered her head, making the same low-browed and pleasing look as other court ladies.

If she was in Daliang, she would observe these people carefully in order to obtain useful information to help Tang Yi, but in Xiling, what she has to do is to keep a low profile as much as possible and ignore everyone.

Nangong Yu was standing beside her, and from time to time someone would come to greet him, but he would respond lightly, but then he got bored with the socializing, so he simply asked Mu Huaxian to stand together in an inconspicuous corner beside the sedan chair.

Standing in this place was finally quiet for a while, when Nangong Yu was about to find something to talk to Mu Hua, Nangong Qing came over.

He strode over with a smile on his face, and greeted Nangong Yu: "His Royal Highness, why did you hide here, but I can find it easily."

The corners of Nangong Yu's mouth were slightly bent, and he asked, "Brother Huang, do you need me?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Nangong Qing said, her eyes fell on Mu Huaxian, and she looked like she had just seen her, and joked to Nangong Yu: "His Royal Highness seems to value this girl very much. Ah, why is she following you in everything?"

Mu Huaxian frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Nangong Yu said first: "Brother Sanhuang seems to be too bored, why pay so much attention to a maid? She is the prince's maid, and the prince is traveling. Of course she should follow."

Nangongqing's eyes obviously did not believe this explanation, and she said with a smile: "So... I heard rumors in the palace the day before yesterday that His Royal Highness wanted to take a maid as a side concubine, and I thought it was this girl."

Nangong Yu laughed, and said slowly: "Brother Sanhuang seems to be very concerned about this prince's affairs."

Nan Gongqing continued to smile, and said very naturally: "Of course, you and I are brothers, and you think His Royal Highness is also interested in me, right?"

"I don't want to worry about how many wives and concubines you have, Brother Huang." Nangong Yu smiled lightly, looked ahead of Nangong Qing, and said, "Let's go, Brother Huang, Father is here."

Nangong Qing glanced back, nodded and said, "I'll be leaving soon, I really can't wait..."

Nangong Yu smiled and didn't answer any more.
