When she saw the person outside, Mu Qianyu immediately stood up.

Due to her hasty action, even the porcelain on the table was almost shaken off by her.

Seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, Mu Qianyu blinked his eyes, then blinked his eyes again.

A pair of beautiful eyes swept across Xiao Chengyi's body in disbelief.

Seeing her like that, even the Xian Consort was shocked. She looked at her in confusion.

In a few moments, Xiao Chengyi was already inside the house. His white robe was spotless, without any wrinkles, and his steps were light. A faint smile formed at the corner of his mouth, just like the wind and the moon.

The only difference was that there was an embroidered bamboo leaf on his left waist.

That bamboo leaf embroidery was indeed exquisite, coincidentally covering up the few holes that Mu Qianyu had pierced with the hairpin yesterday. It did not reveal any traces of it, nor did it look out of the blue.

Mu Qianyu's mouth twitched.

Yesterday, she had poked Xiao Chengyi's robe so badly that it was impossible to sew it up. Even embroidery was hard.

Who would have thought that there would be someone with such ability who would be able to forcefully turn all those holes into bamboo leaves.

"What's wrong? We've only not seen each other for six or four hours, why are you so happy to see me?"

In a flash, Xiao Chengyi had already arrived in front of Mu Xianyu. The smile on his face gradually widened as a warm glow appeared in his eyes, making him look like a painting.

Mu Qianyu turned her face away from him, but her heart trembled a few times.

When did this man become so good-looking?

"What's going on with you two?"

Xian Consort looked at the two of them, deep in thought.

Xiao Chengyi sat down with a smile, but his gaze was fixated on Mu Qianyu.

"Royal Mother, Xiao Yu said that she will agree to one of this son's conditions. What do you think this son should propose?"

"When did I agree?"

Mu Qianyu turned around, her charming eyes filled with anger. With furrowed brows, she glared at Xiao Chengyi and said unhappily.

"Yesterday."

A warm smile still hung on Xiao Chengyi's face, and his originally cold eyes had long ago become somewhat warm, "You want to go back on your promise?"

Hearing that, Mu Qianyu snorted, her face had an unreconciled look, but she was not a person who liked to go back on her words, "Speak."

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I'll keep it for now. I'll tell you when I think about it."

Xiao Chengyi smiled gently.

"Yes."

Mu Qianyu agreed softly.

"Royal Mother will be the witness, you can't go back on your word at that time."

Xiao Chengyi finally retracted his gaze from Mu Qianyu, looked at the Xian Consort and laughed.

"Alright, Royal Mother will bear witness."

Xian Consort smiled and nodded.

Mu Qianyu seemed to think that there was something wrong with those words, as she lightly knitted her brows. However, she did not think that something was off, so she did not say anymore.

After eating, Mu Qianyu carried the clothes and materials and ran back to her room. It seemed like she did not want to bother with anyone.

Xian Consort looked at his son's clothes in amusement, and shook her head helplessly: "Yi Er, you are cheating."

"It doesn't matter if you cheat once in a while."

Xiao Chengyi smiled faintly, a light as black as ink in his eyes. "Royal Mother, you need to know that it's not easy to get a condition from that girl."

Early in the morning the next day, after just finishing her breakfast, Mu Qianyu stretched her body and decided to continue going back to the cat.

This attack from the Cold Poison caused her body to be extremely weak.

Although he had been recuperating for a few days, his power had yet to fully recover, and his spirit was no longer as strong as it was in the past.

Big Sister Xian Consort has not seen you for a few days. I heard that little sister's niece is here, so little sister came over to take a look.

Mu Qianyu had not even stepped across the threshold when she saw Consort Li wearing a crescent-shaped skirt with a phoenix tail, leisurely walking over with a smile on her face.

"It is perfectly justified for my younger sister to come visit my own niece. How could I find it annoying?"

Xian Consort had already walked out with a gentle tone.

Mu Qianyu leaned on the door and squinted her eyes at the approaching Consort Li.

I don't understand who this aunt looks like, but just based on her appearance she doesn't have any resemblance to any one of the other people in Zheng Family.

"Seems like Wan Er definitely likes Big Sister Xian Consort. The last time I called Wan Er into the palace, I didn't even see her face."

In a flash, Consort Li had already walked over and pulled Mu Qianyu's hand and laughed: "It's a good thing that you are close to Xian Consort, but you can't forget about this aunt of mine."

"I don't dare to forget."

The corner of Mu Qianyu's mouth twitched as a cold glint of light flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, his hands turned cold, and the cold feeling seeped into his bones. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

Mu Qianyu frowned, she lowered her eyes and looked, only to realise that there was an additional green jade pendant in her hand.

"This is a gift from aunt."

Consort Li smiled.

Mu Qianyu retracted his hand, as though it was an illusion, the coldness was like a sudden outburst of a Cold Poison.

She couldn't tell what material this necklace was made of.

How could it be so cold?

He stretched out his hand and touched it, but he didn't feel anything at all. Could it be that he had been mistaken just now?

"This little sister has been wearing this jade pendant for a long time, why did she take out her personal belongings?"

Xian Consort glanced at the jade pendant and recognized it. Consort Li had worn it for at least a year or two.

Big sister has good eyesight, this jade pendant is not really a precious object, but it has been lit up in the temple, and has the effect of ensuring safety, Wan Er's luck with the children was bad, he suffered so many hardships outside, and now that he has finally returned home, I hope that she will be safe, so her mother will be able to be at ease in the underworld.

Consort Li sighed lightly, a few traces of sadness on her face.

The corner of Mu Qianyu's mouth twitched.

This Consort Li and her mother are the worst, alright?

Consort Li did not stay for long. After speaking a few more words and leaving, it was clear that Mu Qianyu did not like her.

The moment Consort Li left, Mu Qianyu threw the jade pendant at Yue Zhu, "You can go pawn shop some other day."

She wouldn't keep that woman's things.

However, it was worth a little bit of money. If he lost it, it would be a pity, so he might as well just accept it.

Yue Zhu quickly kept the jade pendant, she did not understand why the young miss would even plan something like that.

Is Miss really in need of money?

After a day of silence, it was rather peaceful.

Noon of the next day, after having lunch and resting for a while, the Empress Dowager sent someone over to send word that she wanted to see Mu Qianyu.

Because it was the empress dowager's summons, they naturally had to go.

When Xian Consort saw her unwilling expression, she immediately laughed and said, "I'll go with you, just in time to pay respects to the empress dowager."

Mu Qianyu nodded her head repeatedly. It was still good to have Xian Consort accompanying him.

But who knew that after tidying up a bit, just as they stepped out of the door, someone from the empress dowager's palace sent another message asking the Xian Consort to come over because they had something to discuss with him.

"What a coincidence!"

Mu Qianyu frowned slightly.

The empress dowager had summoned her and the empress had sent someone to invite the Xian Consort.

After leaving the Wan-Shuang Palace, they walked a long way, and then the two separated.

Mu Qianyu brought Yue Zhu and the little girl to meet the empress dowager under the guidance of the little girl.

"You really do live in the palace."

Just as he took a few steps, a sharp voice suddenly rang out.

Mu Qianyu turned a deaf ear and continued to walk.

"Halt!"

Seeing that she did not pay attention to him, the man was enraged, and bellowed: "You dare not listen to This Princess's words?"

Mu Qianyu's expression did not change, her eyes were cold and her footsteps did not stop, as if she did not hear anything.

"Someone, stop her!"

The people behind were extremely angry, and immediately called for the guards to block Mu Qianyu's way.
