It was indeed a difficult task to attend the palace banquet. Not to mention getting up early, the hair ornaments on his head had been tormented for an entire hour.

Jiang Wanyan felt that the weight was too great. She felt as if she had been carrying a heavy gold ingot on her head. Her grumbling made Su Muqing burst out in laughter.

After their second trip into the palace, Jiang Wanyan still felt unfamiliar. There were many places that were too different between the Xia Kingdom and Qiang. Sometimes, she would have a chaotic feeling.

Previously, when he had left his hometown alone, he had always wanted to protect himself fiercely. However, ever since his relationship with Su Mu Qing had subtly changed, Jiang Wan Yan actually felt at ease and at home.

This was a strange feeling of security. Although this palace banquet was a Hongmen Banquet, Su Mu Qing was not afraid, and she was not afraid.

, who had not seen him for a few days, jumped down from the horse carriage. His originally happy expression immediately disappeared when he saw Jiang Wan Yan and Su Mu Qing.

She snorted and turned around to enter through the side door.

Jiang Wanyan was even more puzzled. Just what did that First Prince do? Cheng Jiayue was actually so angry about the matter between Su Mu Qing and Su Mulang.

However, now was not the time to ask that question. Jiang Wanyan pulled on Su Mu Qing: "Did you see Jiayue? She still looks angry. "

Su Mu Qing looked towards the side door and could still see the back of a person walking very quickly. He didn't look carefully and grabbed Jiang Wan Yan's hand: "It's okay, she's childish. She'll be fine in two days."

Jiang Wanyan declined to comment as the two of them walked in hand.

There were many senior servants waiting at the entrance to the palace early in the morning to welcome them. When Jiang Wanyan and Su Mu Qing showed their faces, a kind-looking aunt immediately welcomed them: "To the prince, to the princess, to your wife. Your servant will lead you in."

Su Mu Qing nodded slightly and asked casually: "Just now, did you enter the Yongping Mansion's princess?"

His aunt laughed and narrowed her eyes, "That's right, the Canton Princess has gone in first. If your highness had come two steps earlier, you would have been able to go with the princess."

Su Mu Qing did not ask anymore, but his aunt continued on. "It's good that the princess is here, the last time she came to the palace, she did not see the princess. Today, we can finally meet again."

Su Mu Qing's mouth twitched, he hoped that it was a good thing. Jiayue was in a bad mood, Imperial Consort would probably warm her face up to her butt again, just that she did not know what was going on with children these days. It was as if all of them liked their cool big brother and sister, she did not understand.

Jiang Wanyan did not listen carefully. This time, the door was different from the last time. There were so many rules that it sounded like the Xia Kingdom's pronoun. She was actually more interested in the Imperial Consort who liked the Jiayue little devil during this birthday feast.

Su Mu Qing blurted out his thoughts, "We can only leave at night when the palace doors drop a key. If the Emperor is in high spirits, we might have to stay in the palace for the night."

The emperor and empress's relationship was always respectful to each other, and the emperor doted on his little daughter very much. Imperial Consort was just past the tender age of being the most adorable when it was time to learn from others, and only Cheng Jiayue would think that she was annoyed.

Princess' birthday banquet was set on the Qingzhou Island. In the depths of the inner court of the Imperial Palace, there was a man-made island in the center of the lake.

There were no skilled craftsmen in the State of Qiang who could build such a large-scale project in the Imperial Palace. Ying Yan and her group of young masters were all gathered in a group, laughing and chatting with one another. The Emperor had not arrived yet, and no one from the island in the center of the lake had gone over.

The arrival of Jiang Wanyan and Su Mu Qing did not cause too much of a commotion, and the most eye-catching person in the crowd was Cheng Jiayue. Her voice was very clear, and one could hear her laughing from afar.

Other than Cheng Jiayue, there was another place which was obviously a group of its own. Jiang Wan Yan could only see a man's side profile through the human wall, it looked very gentle.

"Who is that?" Jiang Wanyan pulled Su Muqing along. Su Muqing followed her gaze and frowned.

Coincidentally, that man turned his head slightly, and Jiang Wan Yan saw it clearly. Her brows looked somewhat similar to Su Mu Qing, and just as she reacted, she heard Su Mu Qing say coldly: "It's Su Muchang, he's always been the most tactful person."

It could be seen that when Su Mu Qing mentioned this, his expression changed. Jiang Wan Yan did not ask anymore and only stared at Su Muchang for a long time.

This kind of man was the one who had plotted against Su Mu Qing time and time again. Jiang Wan Yan felt that it was a pity.

Cheng Jiayue had obviously also seen Jiang Wan Yan and Su Mu Qing's actions. Her voice, which was originally laughing happily, had also gradually lowered. Following Jiang Wan Yan's gaze, Cheng Jiayue discovered that she was staring at Su Muchang.

Because they were in the palace, and even though everyone's words and actions weren't as presumptuous, Cheng Jiayue still suppressed her anger and walked in front of the two of them. She reached out and lightly pushed Jiang Wan Yan away: "What are you staring at him for?! Stupid woman! "

He spoke softly, but it was unknown if Su Muchang heard him or if he was unconscious. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Wan Yan.

Her heart was beating fast, like a student caught running away from school. She didn't know what she was feeling guilty about, and Cheng Jiayue's reprimand made her even more confused.

However, she was willing to come and talk to them, which meant that although she was angry, she still wanted to talk to them.

Su Mu Qing chuckled, he moved Jiang Wan Yan behind him, and explained in a soft voice: "Jiayue, many things are not like when we were young, we are not people who can vent our anger just by arguing with each other. You are an adult, you should know that there are too many things that you have no choice but to do.

How could Cheng Jiayue not understand this logic? She just couldn't help but feel angry. How great were they when they were young? Why did they become like this when they grew up? If that was the case, she would rather not grow up. After all, growing up was too exhausting, and she had to understand a lot of truths. It was truly tiring to pretend to be different.

Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled by Jiang Wan Yan. Cheng Jiayue was startled, and when he saw Su Mu Qing looking back at him with a serious expression, he immediately turned around. The person behind him was huge, and even the light in his eyes dimmed.

Unknowingly, Su Muchang had already went past the human wall and came to him. With a kind smile, he glanced at Cheng Jiayue and chuckled.
