Mu Bingyue suppressed her thoughts and bowed to the crowd. Starlight entered and greeted the Queen before sitting down.
"Muhou, what happened?" Xing Yang casually asked as he pinched a piece of osmanthus cake, turning it into dust. Leaning on the railing, he elegantly sprinkled the powder into the lotus pond, causing countless carp to rush over to snatch it. Such a lively scene was the complete opposite of the serious atmosphere in the pavilion.
The empress looked at Gong'e beside her. She immediately took two quick steps forward and whispered into Xing Yin's ear. As she listened, her eyebrows slowly furrowed.
The lazy expression on his face started to turn ice-cold. He turned his head and glanced at Mu Bingyue with an inexplicable expression. After a while, he looked at the Queen and asked in confusion, "Imperial Mother, how do you think we should deal with this?"
"Xing'er, your royal father has given me the primary and secondary selection for your consort selection. Rest assured, Imperial Mother will guarantee that you'll be able to choose the best girl. At that time, you can choose the one that suits you well. Like today... It's not magnanimous enough to be suitable for Xing'er. The Queen Mother feels that it's best to eliminate the two sisters from the list. What do you think? " The empress then took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Xing Lu standing there expressionlessly, his heart sinking.
When Mu Bing Yue heard the empress's words, she immediately understood what she meant. She couldn't help but regret that she had been too impulsive this time around. It was too early to reveal her edge.
Fortunately, he appeared.
Inexplicably, Mu Bing Yue's heart felt a little better. Was it because this man always appeared before her again and again? She had already formed a habit of thinking that the appearance of this man would make her feel at ease and at ease.
"Mother is too serious, these two young misses are both young misses from the general's household, but for the sake of outsiders, I feel that they have the true nature of flesh and blood. If this were to spread, people would think that your son is someone who doesn't care about others!" Starlight replied without changing his expression.
The empress thought to herself. Aren't you the kind of person who doesn't care for others?
However, the Star Shadow Army's contribution points were too high. Not to mention her, even if the Emperor was here, he would still have to be courteous. Naturally, he would not be so straightforward as to deny his face.
The empress's expression didn't change as she said, "But the Mu family's Seventh Miss injured someone. This …" If I choose to, I'm afraid your royal father will blame me for not having a care in the world … "
Now that things had come to this point, it would not be appropriate for Starlight to speak again.
However, he just didn't seem to care at all, and seemed to be very lazy. "Imperial Mother, don't worry. If Imperial Father is to blame, just say that I like Seventh Miss very much, that's all. This king has always been in the battlefield, and is used to seeing life and death, so … The woman with different hearts is the one who can't stand to watch the most! "
The first half of his words caused all the girls present to feel a sense of disappointment and jealousy. But as he finished, everyone quieted down and no longer dared to breathe.
What he said... This simply meant that … Empress?
Did he mean that the empress was one of those discordant women?
As expected, the empress's face grew dark. If she were to lose her temper at a time like this, she wouldn't be able to gain anything from it. A moment later, her expression returned to normal. She nodded and said, "Since Xing'er says so, then mother will do as you say."
