The woman who had just spoken was Xiao Chengyi's Royal Mother, the Xian Consort who was the head of the Four Concubines.

Xian Consort entered the palace very early, and at the age of thirteen, she entered the palace. Upon entering the palace, she immediately pampered the harem, giving birth to Xiao Chengyi at the age of fourteen, thus she was not even thirty.

She was dressed in a long skirt made of dark green flowers and peonies, her beautiful skin was snow-white, her eyes were like water, her nose was high, her lips were small, her face was exquisite, her temperament was gentle and elegant, her fingers were touching a pair of white jade bracelets, her expression was gentle, the corners of her lips were hooked in a smile, and even her voice was very pleasant to hear.

She smiled faintly as she followed the Queen's words, retracted her gaze from her son, and turned to look at Mu Qianyu, a few times sizing him up, a few times being gentle, and continued to speak: "Chenqie sees that this girl is very good, if she is compatible with our family's Yi Er, I'm afraid we'll have to give up to her."

These words had undoubtedly added another stab to Mu Qianyu's chest, successfully drawing countless hatred from him.

Of course, apart from hatred, there was still unavoidably astonishment.

Xian Consort, the head of the Fourth Concubine was actually able to say such words.

Mu Qianyu was compatible with the Prince Li, but the Prince Li was the one who got the better part of the deal.

At the same time, Lady Mu also thought that this was the opposite.

He raised his bright eyes and looked at Xian Consort without blinking.

When he realized that the Xian Consort was also looking at her, his gaze was warm and his expression was calm. He seemed to be an elder looking at her and didn't have a shred of loathing for her.

The more Xian Consort was like this, the more confused Mu Qianyu became.

Let alone the fact that she was currently just a wild girl, even if she was a Third Miss from the Zheng Mansion, she was still a young miss born from a concubine.

Even Zheng Qingyao, who was the direct daughter of the Crown Prince, had only become his Lateral Consort.

With her identity, she probably didn't even have the qualifications to enter Prince Li Palace.

From her point of view, the imperial family valued status the most, and the imperial family's people were also the most arrogant. They were all people with eyes that reached the sky.

For example, that Xiao Mengjia, didn't even want her to sit in the seating area.

How could Xian Consort, the noble head of the Fourth Concubine, not reject her at all?

Mu Qianyu, who still could not figure it out for half a day, suddenly realized that she had completely misunderstood her.

What was his relationship with Xiao Chengyi? Why did he need to care about others?

Could it be that he had come here today to find out if the others would not mind him sitting beside Xiao Chengyi?

Mu Qianyu shook her head fiercely, she felt that she was not thinking fast enough, and was not in her best condition at all.

It was better to eat without saying anything.

With such a table of treasures, it would be a waste not to eat.

The Queen did not say anything more, and neither did the Xian Consort.

The topic of conversation shifted from Mu Qianyu to the noble ladies.

It had to be known that they were not only here to admire the flowers, their goal was also to see these aristocratic ladies.

The moment they started eating, the aristocratic families' daughter had to show off her talents. This was a drama that happened every year.

Each family did their best for the sake of getting a good future and marrying a good family.

Perhaps, in terms of Flowers Enjoying Meeting, the prince would set his eyes on him, or perhaps, the emperor.

Perhaps some imperial concubine would take a fancy to some imperial concubine.

Therefore, this Flowers Enjoying Meeting was actually more or less the same as the talent show.

"This subject's not talented, and is willing to offer a dance for the empress dowager, emperor, Empress, and all of the empress dowager's benefit."

The first young noble stood at the front, dressed in a red dancing dress, alluring and enchanting.

The woman was also young, fourteen or fifteen years old. She had beautiful features, a pair of charming eyes, and a graceful figure.

She took a step forward and knelt down as she looked at the people inside the pavilion.

Mu Qianyu was acutely aware that her gaze paused on him for a while, and then on Xiao Chengyi for a while.

He immediately squinted his eyes and carefully observed the woman.

Could it be that she was another beauty who liked Xiao Chengyi?

"Xie Yu's dancing has always been good, and I haven't seen it for a long time, so I might as well take a look and see if it has improved."

The empress dowager looked at the woman and smiled lovingly.

"I will follow your orders."

The woman smiled like a flower as she bowed towards the empress dowager, then walked to an open area in the middle and started dancing.

Although there were quite a few people these days, the middle part of the room was deliberately empty. This was probably the reason.

"Xie Yu, Xie Yu Flower?"

Mu Qianyu was rarely bored, so she started to ask about the dancing girls.

"Yes."

Xiao Chengyi nodded lightly, and explained in a soft voice: "State Protector's daughter, Pan Yurou, has been bestowed the title of Xie Yu Princess."

"You're a lover?"

Mu Qianyu excitedly added.

In the end, Prince Li's face instantly darkened, it was so dark that it could not get any darker.

He tilted his head and shot a cold glance at Mu Qianyu.

Although he didn't say anything, the warning look in his eyes was clear.

It was as if he was saying, "Try talking nonsense again?"

After successfully angering the Prince Li, Mu Qianyu's mood was elated and her delicate little face was covered in smiles.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was watching Pan Yurou's dance, she even stuck out her tongue mischievously at Xiao Chengyi.

It seemed to say, "If I say, I say, what can you do to me?"

Sui Yang, who was standing behind and pouring wine for his master, instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

This was in front of the empress dowager, yet these two dared to quarrel, especially with the Lady Mu …

You're the only one with a good relationship, okay?

It was fortunate that Mu Qianyu didn't know what Sui Yang was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have whipped him to death.

Just as the two were looking at each other, Mu Qianyu suddenly felt a probing gaze from her right.

He anxiously looked over, to see that Xian Consort was looking at him with a smile, although sshe had the intention to investigate, he was still amiable without a trace of malice.

Mu Qianyu's face reddened then, but she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She stretched out her hand to scratch her head and embarrassedly smiled at Xian Consort in a childish manner, then quickly lowered her head. She didn't even have the mood to watch Pan Yurou dance.

She, who had always been domineering, was actually afraid of the Xian Consort's gaze.

It wasn't that she was afraid, but she felt embarrassed.

Xiao Chengyi's expression changed slightly. She was actually afraid of the Royal Mother?

He could not help but smile, the previous anger had disappeared, and he picked up a piece of fish with milk and placed it in Mu Qianyu's bowl.

Not only was he not angry, he even cherished her even more.

Xian Consort smiled lightly, then turned her head to look at Pan Yurou's dance.

"Sure."

It was unknown who praised.

Even Mu Qianyu could not help but raise her head and look at the dashing figure in the center once again.

The figure that was currently dancing wore a red dancing dress that contained a sense of allure and allure.

Lotus steps were light, her hands were slender, and her dancing posture was graceful. The small steps were neither fast nor slow, as if they were light clouds. Not long after, the steps changed, and her dress spun like a gust of wind.

This dance was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow. Every movement and every rotation was perfectly timed, causing others who saw it to feel that the dance skills were truly extraordinary.

Moreover, Pan Yurou was not that old, to be able to perform the dance so perfectly, she was definitely not ordinary, and was completely worthy of that shout.
