In an instant, the eyes of the noblewomen present looked at Mu Qingge with disdain and contempt. The eyes that looked at Qin Yiyao were sympathetic and regretful.
After all, Qin Yiyao, this Princess Chang Le, can be considered as the number one beauty in Luodu.
Unfortunately, it was paired with a useless husband.
That night's palace banquet dance, under the spread of those worldly young masters with ulterior motives, became a lewd dance. As for Mu Qingge's reputation, it didn't change in the slightest, but instead further solidified her reputation as a debauched noblewoman.
Fortunately, she doesn't care.
This is exactly what she wanted. The more Mu Qingge was a pampered daughter, the safer it would be for the Mu family. As long as her grandfather's heart of loyalty to the country and the king had not completely dissipated, this state was the best.
Mu Qingge sneered in her heart. This empress was indeed hiding a knife behind her smile and a needle in the silk. With just a few words, she had turned herself into an enemy of everyone present.
"Hmm, this girl is quite pretty, which family's young lady is she?" Suddenly, the empress's gaze fell on Bai Tuyue behind them.
Without waiting for Mu Qingge or Qin Yiyao to explain, Bai Suoyue bowed her head and said: "I shall report to the Empress Dowager, my surname is Bai, my name is Suoyue. I am an orphan with no father or mother, currently residing in the Mu residence."
The two words "lonely girl" evoke sympathy from many noblewomen.
Looking at Mu Qing again, there was something more in her eyes. It seemed that Bai Suoyue was the woman who had forced her way into the mansion.
These, Mu Qingge did not know. If she knew, she would probably have to admire the big brain holes of these noblewomen.
"Oh. I remember now. Many years ago, it seems that a General Bai died saving the Marquis of Mu. Afterwards, the general's wife followed him in death, leaving behind an orphaned daughter who was taken in by the Marquis of Mu. You are the general's daughter, aren't you?" The Empress said, suddenly enlightened.
It seemed that Bai Tuyue hadn't expected the empress to know about her own origins, and she nodded with tears in her eyes.
She nodded in agreement and the queen shook her head regretfully, saying as if unintentionally: "What a pity, you should have been a noble lady from a prestigious family."
These words fell into Bai Taoyue's ears and evoked a strong resonance, almost making her take the empress as a kindred spirit.
Suddenly, Qin Yiyao's guard rushed over and whispered a few words to her personal palace maid. The maid's face changed, and she carefully ran to Qin Yiyao's side, conveying the guard's message.
After listening, Qin Yiyao's face also changed, looking at Mu Qingge.
The latter was unclear and raised an eyebrow, asking: "What's wrong?"
Qin Yiyao pursed her lips and said directly, "Just now, the hunting ground's riding and shooting area passed on a message that Shao Yueze was competing with someone and got injured."
Chubby got hurt!
This news made Mu Qing's whole body feel a chill...
Shao Bingzhe brought it on himself, but now he's injured?
Mo Qing's entire aura suddenly dropped, and the clear gaze in his eyes turned into sharp ice shards.
"Your Majesty, I'll stay in the inner courtyard of the palace, it's a bit inconvenient. I'll take my leave first and come back another day to pay my respects to Your Majesty." Mu Qingge interrupted the conversation between the Empress and Bai Tuyue, not waiting for the Empress' consent, and was about to turn around and leave.
She walked quickly, as if she didn't want to stay for a moment.
Qin Yiyao looked at her with some concern and also said to the empress, "Mother, I'll leave first too." After saying that, she didn't forget about Bai Suoyue who came together with her, "Miss Bai, are you staying or leaving?"
This question made Bai Suoyue suddenly tangled.
She finally had an opportunity to get acquainted with the nobility, and the queen's impression of her seemed not bad. Leaving like this, she was really reluctant. However, Princess Changle is the younger sister of King Rui, if she doesn't want to leave and gets close to the queen, the news will spread to King Rui. Now it's a sensitive period when King Rui and the Crown Prince are competing, I'm afraid it will displease King Rui.
Go or stay?
The white moon is hard to take, and the eyes turn around, looking at the empress with a humble attitude: "Empress, I am here with the princess and the young lord. They want to leave, and I don't dare stay long either. Thank you for your hospitality today, Empress."
The queen sneered in her heart. When had she ever treated her with kindness? She was indeed being overly sentimental.
But on the surface, she wore a warm smile and nodded understandingly: "Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer. Another day, come to the palace with Master Miao, and I'll have plenty of things to say to you."
Bai Suo's heart was filled with joy, and he hastily thanked him.
Then, he hastily left with Qin Yiyao, who was getting impatient, and headed towards the hunting grounds.
At this time, Mu Qingge, who had taken a step ahead, arrived at the hunting ground and saw the injured Pangzi.
"You bunch of bastards, actually shooting people in the back and calling yourselves gentlemen. Just wait for me! Wait till I'm better, and see how I'll deal with you bunch of scoundrels!" Shao Pangzi's furious voice came from the crowd.
With a full breath of energy, it seems that the injury is not serious, and Mu Qingge's footsteps also slowed down.
"Ha! You think you can just rely on your stupid fat body?"
"Your whole body is itchy with fat, isn't it? Why don't I help you scratch it?"
"A useless thing from a poor family, dare to compete with me in horse archery? Hmph, it seems the horses also look down on you, that's why they threw you off."
Mo Qingge pushed through the crowd and saw a noble young master with several people, sitting on the ground and mocking Shao Pangzi who was hugging his knees.
"You fart! It's obviously you who made a sneak attack. Intentionally using spiritual energy to hit the horse's hoof, making that beast eat pain, and throwing me off." Shao Pangzi said angrily.
"You're just a waste of space, and you think you can withstand my methods?" The leading young noble sneered with a smile. His sharp features were filled with arrogance.
"That's right, Han Gongzi is a Yellow Boundary Initial Stage, how could he be afraid of you, a Red Boundary Initial Stage waste? It's not even worth laughing about." The crowd immediately echoed in agreement.
They're deliberately making this dead fatso lose face, wanting to compete with him, and not even taking a look in the mirror, is that greasy body even worthy?
"Pah! I'm competing with that kid in archery. What does it have to do with cultivation realm?" Shao Pangzi shouted in discontent.
But as a person of low status and soft words, the position of those in power is much higher than his, and no one will care about what Shao Baozi says.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qing Ge had already roughly guessed what had happened.
She pushed away the people in front of her and walked out with big strides: "Fatty."
