Mu Qingge wandered around in the palace.

  With her identity and that fluttering red dress, even the inner guards of the palace only saluted from a distance before letting her go.

  It can be said that as long as she doesn't enter the inner palace or the forbidden areas of the palace, basically, she can walk sideways in the imperial palace.

  Because her grandfather was Mu Xiong.

  Because she is a hereditary viscountess.

  Also, she was the future husband of Princess Changle.

  And what's more, the Empress Dowager had once granted him the privilege of roaming freely within the palace.

  With such honor and favor, I ask you, who else could it be besides Mu Manor's Young Master and Mu Qing Ge?

  The imperial palace is nothing more than that. After the initial freshness of Mu Qing's song, which was used to pass the time, had worn off, she could no longer appreciate the grandeur and majesty of the Qin Kingdom's imperial palace.

  "Alas! How boring! At this time, I should be enjoying the massage of Huayue and the delicious food of Youhe." Mu Qingge regretted her decision to enter the palace ahead of schedule once again.

  "Who are you?" Suddenly, a soft and slightly timid voice came from behind her.

  Mu Qingge was taken aback and turned around to look for him, only to discover that he had unknowingly walked into a deserted garden where few people ventured.

  It's said to be an abandoned garden, but it's not without reason.

  Because of the withered grass and weeds, the exposed stones are covered with moss. The buildings in the garden are even more crooked doors and windows, dense spider webs. In the imperial palace, a place like this appears, what is it if not an abandoned garden?

  If this is a deserted garden, then who else would be here besides her, who had wandered in unintentionally?

  Mù light song went searching everywhere, soon, in the grass thicket, a pair of naive and simple big eyes were found.

  So clean!

  Those eyes, free from any impurities, shook Mu Qing Ge slightly.

  Perhaps it's because her past experiences were too complicated, so she always has a natural affinity for simple and clean things.

  With light steps, Mu Qing sang towards those eyes, slowly approaching them.

  "Who are you? Why are you here?" The owner of those eyes seemed to have been startled, took a step back and asked again.

  The weeds around her waist floated up with her movement, but also exposed more of her figure.

  "Who are you again?" Mu Qingge walked in and asked with a bow.

  From that sweet voice, she knew that the one hiding in the bushes was a young girl not much older than herself. And now, as she got a clear look at the girl curled up in the weeds, she realized that her age couldn't be more than twelve or thirteen, younger than herself by some years.

  The most eye-catching thing on the lovely baozi's face is that pair of pure and clean eyes like a small deer. With tears in her eyes, she looks like a clear spring water from the mountain, without any contamination at all.

  She combed her hair into two buns, adorned with silver flowers. On her brow, she also dotted a beauty mark with cinnabar powder. This added a touch of coquettishness to her lovely appearance.

  Underneath was a pale green palace dress, from its style and intricacy, her status must be quite high.

  "I'm Lianlian." The girl replied sweetly.

  Only after she had spoken out the answer did she suddenly react, covering her mouth with both hands, seemingly shocked that she had honestly answered a stranger's question.

  "Really?" The girl's reaction made Mu Qingge even more delighted, and she couldn't help but reveal a smile.

  This smile made the girl look silly, and words of praise involuntarily came out: "Brother, you're really handsome. When you smile, it's even more beautiful."

  Huh?

  A smile froze at the corner of Mu Qing's mouth. Two "hehes" echoed in her heart.

  Well, brothers will always be brothers.

  Mù Qīng Gē resignedly raised his hand and gently patted the girl's hair, softly saying: "Liàn Liàn is also very pretty."

  In the conversation, the girl seemed to have forgotten that she didn't know Mu Qingge at all. After Mu Qingge finished speaking, she pouted and shook her head: "Lianlian is not beautiful, Mother said that Lianlian's cuteness is unmatched, but beauty can't compare to Sister Yao even a little bit." In her words, the girl seemed a bit disappointed, and then secretly glanced at Mu Qingge again, murmuring: "Even more so, she can't compare to Brother in the slightest."

  Empress Dowager?!

  This title gave Mu Qingge some guesses in her heart.

  Wasn't she also one of the Emperor's daughters? As soon as he thought about the imperial relationship, Mu Qingge's original good impression of her faded a bit.

  "Do you really wish you were pretty?" Mu Qing Ge suddenly asked, her tone also turning a few degrees colder.

  The girl seemed to have not noticed the strangeness in his tone, and innocently shook her head: "Lianlian is very satisfied with her appearance, Mother said that this face of mine is a very auspicious face." After finishing, she also seriously nodded at Mu Qingge.

  Mo Qingge narrowed her eyes and connected the girl's words before and after, already somewhat understanding in her heart.

  Presumably, this little princess grew up in the royal family and saw that everyone around her was exceptionally beautiful, making her feel somewhat disheartened about her own ordinariness. However, she had a good mother who did not let her get lost in such vanity, preserving her innocence.

  "What are you doing here?" Mu Qingge's eyes dimmed slightly as she asked.

  The girl blinked, her long eyelashes like a fan. Suddenly, she said pitifully: "Lianlian has sprained her foot. Qing'er will go find someone to rescue Lianlian."

  Mo Qing's gaze followed her words and fell on her ankles covered by her skirt.

  Lowering her eyelids, Mu Qing sang a light and soft tune: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you then." After speaking, she prepared to turn around and leave.

  "Brother, are you leaving?" The little princess anxiously stopped Mu Qingge.

  Mo Qingge slightly turned her head, hooked her lips into a shallow smile: "I just accidentally entered this place, now I naturally want to leave."

  "Brother, stay here and accompany Lianlian, until Qing'er is better." The little princess's soft voice was filled with pleading.

  Mo Qing turned around and met her pure eyes.

  That beauty defeated her concerns in her heart.

  She let out a soft sigh in her heart and walked towards Little Princess once again.

  She didn't want to get too entangled with royal people, but unexpectedly, she couldn't help herself.

  "I'll pull you out first." Mu Qing Ge said as she walked in front of Little Princess.

  But the little princess shook her head pitifully: "Lingling's feet hurt so much, she can't move anymore."

  Sprained ankle, it's naturally painful.

  Mo Qing Ge felt a little surprised in her heart. The two of them had been talking for so long, but this little princess hadn't shown even half a hint of anxiety caused by pain.

  The little princess curled up in the weeds, looking up at her with a confused big eyes, making Mu Qingge's heart soften, bending down and embracing her directly into his arms, walking out of the weeds.

  This sudden movement made the little princess cover her mouth and let out a soft cry.

  A flush instantly spread across both cheeks.

  "Brother, put me down quickly." The little princess said in a delicate voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

  Mochizuki placed the little princess on the steps of the building, and at this moment she didn't think that as a man, being in contact with an unmarried woman like this was against etiquette.

  "It's more comfortable sitting here than in the bushes." Mu Qing Ge patted her clothes and said lightly.

  The little princess nodded, and a blush had already climbed up her soft ear roots.

  "What is this place?" Mu Qingge asked after scanning the desolate surroundings.

  The little princess finally lifted her head from shyness, and with a gentle gaze at Mu Qingge's stunning profile, she said: "This is Lianlian's secret base. It's been a long time since anyone came here, only Lianlian and Qing'er often play here. Oh! And also Brother Chen, but his body isn't very good, so he rarely comes."

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched. This little princess was really too simple-minded, without needing anyone to coax her, she had already spilled out all her own affairs.

  "What's so funny about this." Mu Qingge found it somewhat hard to understand.

  "Kitty!" The little princess's eyes sparkled with excitement. She looked just like a playful child who had spotted her favorite toy.

  Hehe.

  This is indeed a suitable place for hide and seek.

  Mù Qīng Gē had some unspoken words in her heart.

  At this time, some urgent footsteps came from outside the garden. Mu Qingge's ears moved slightly. She said to the little princess: "I think your Qing'er is almost here, so I'll take my leave first."

  After finishing speaking, the figure quickly left the abandoned garden.

  She didn't want to make things more complicated than they already were.

  "Ah! Brother......" The little princess's bun face showed a disappointed expression. Her pink lips muttered: "I don't even know what your name is."
