Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

"There are many ways to repay a favor, not just by giving yourself to someone else. Besides, it was my mother who saved the man, not me."

Mu Xueyan's face darkened. "After mother left, brother Yu Wang has been taking care of me. What's wrong with this as a way of repaying my kindness?"

The King of Jin disagreed, "Don't be angry, young lady. I was just asking casually. After all, many women are attracted to the identity of a princess."

Mu Xueyan raised her voice, "Other people's affection is their own business. This lady and Prince Yu are just siblings. Please don't humiliate us, Prince Jin."

Mo Zhaohua came in a hurry and just heard these words. He suddenly developed a good impression of her. This girl still knew what to do at the critical moment.

There were people around admiring the flowers, and they looked over here when they heard this. Mu Xueyan acted very calmly, not afraid of their scrutiny.

Mo Zhaohua went over and took her arm, "Miss, why are you here? The prince didn't see you and was very worried. He is sending people to look for you everywhere."

Mu Xueyan was not used to this kind of closeness. "Brother Yu Wang is just worrying about nothing. Can I, a grown-up, get lost?"

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "The back garden is quite big, and we are here for the first time. The prince is indeed worried that the girl will get lost."

Mu Xueyan said, "Then let's go back, so as not to worry Brother Yu Wang. If he comes looking for us, it will make Xue'er look ignorant."

Mo Zhaohua did not say hello to Prince Jin. He walked back with Mu Xueyan, while Yueying and Taoyao followed closely behind.

Princess Jin walked up to the Prince of Jin and whispered, "Your Highness, you are too impatient. You have offended Miss Mu, and the loss outweighs the gain."

King Jin lowered his voice, "Since she is not deceived by me, it is better if she dislikes me. With such a comparison, others will have a chance, right?"

Princess Jin didn't know his purpose beforehand, and was stunned when she heard it. "Your Highness did it on purpose, I misunderstood."

On the other side, Mo Zhaohua brought Mu Xueyan back to Chu Xuanchi, and Yueying was whispering to him what had just happened.

Chu Xuanchi didn't expect King Jin to say such a thing, but it was not a good time to judge it now. He would wait until he got back to talk about everything.

He looked at Mu Xueyan, "Xue'er, was the Chrysanthemum Banquet fun?"

Mu Xueyan didn't think it was fun, but she didn't want to go back. "It's quite lively with so many people around. Why, does Brother Prince Yu want to go back home?"

Chu Xuanchi did want to take her back, but she didn't want to and wouldn't force him, "No, I'm just afraid that you'll be disturbed and unhappy."

Mu Xueyan wanted to look somewhere else, "How could that be? Others talk about their own things, I play mine, I'll just stay away from them from now on."

Chu Xuanchi saw her looking around and guessed what she was thinking, "Then Xue'er, follow me and the princess. We will accompany you wherever you want to go."

Mu Xueyan was still thinking about admiring the flowers. "King Rui mentioned something like ten feet. Xue'er has never heard of it. I want to go and see what it looks like."

Chu Xuanchi had no knowledge of chrysanthemums and had no idea what she was talking about. He was confused and bewildered.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Mo Zhaohua explained, "It should be a ten-foot curtain, an extremely rare variety. I have only seen it a few times in the Imperial Garden."

They quickly found out where the ten-foot-long curtain was. When they went over there, they saw that there were already quite a few people around, and it turned out that they were writing poems.

When the others saw them coming, they temporarily stopped what they were doing, came over to pay their respects and greet them, and then continued to recite poems and compose couplets.

Mu Xueyan didn't understand poetry, she just came to see the flowers, "Oh my God, I didn't expect there are chrysanthemums like this."

Although Chu Xuanchi lived in the palace as a child, he had never paid attention to chrysanthemums. This was the first time he saw a ten-foot-long curtain.

He said with great interest: "This is indeed very different from the chrysanthemums we usually see. The Seventh Prince is quite thoughtful."

Chu Xuanhan was also composing a poem to the chrysanthemums, but he did not leave after paying his respects. "Seventh Royal Brother only has this hobby, so of course I will take the trouble to care about it."

Chu Xuanchi had a polite and distant smile on his face, "I heard that you are very talented, why don't you write a poem?"

Chu Xuanhan looked at Mo Zhaohua, "How can Xuanhan's talent compare to that of Fifth Sister-in-law, a talented woman? How about Fifth Sister-in-law write a poem?"

Mo Zhaohua felt sick to even say one more word to him, "No, we still have to go watch the Phoenix's feathers fluttering later."

Mu Xueyan asked curiously, "Is Phoenix Zhenyu also a chrysanthemum?"

Mo Zhaohua spoke gently, "Yes, King Rui has collected many rare and precious species. We are lucky to see them today."

Chu Xuanchi also wanted to leave quickly, "Xue'er, do you still want to see this ten-foot curtain? If not, let's go and see the phoenix fluttering its wings."

Mu Xueyan is not a flower lover and does not know how to appreciate flowers slowly. "We have already seen them. Let's go somewhere else. We can see enough today."

Chu Xuanhan took the initiative to approach him, "I haven't been to see Fenghuang Zhenyu yet, how about I go with you guys?"

"It's up to you." Not to mention that this was in Prince Rui's Palace, even if it was in Prince Yu's Palace, Chu Xuanchi couldn't rudely drive people away.

So Chu Xuanhan followed them to appreciate the flowers, and chatted with Chu Xuanchi from time to time, but he did not mention Mo Zhaohua on his own initiative.

The flower viewing ended at the beginning of the evening, and then there was the dinner. Chu Xuanhan deliberately sat next to Chu Xuanchi and chatted and laughed with him during the dinner.

No matter how unhappy Mo Zhaohua was, she had to endure it. She would have to face him often in the future, so she had to put on a good front to avoid arousing suspicion.

The dinner lasted from Youshi to Xushi, and the Chrysanthemum Banquet officially ended. Mo Zhaohua got on the carriage and let out a long sigh.

Chu Xuanchi took her hand and held it, "I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to face Lao Liu."

Mo Zhaohua would not blame him, "He was the one who took the initiative to stick to me. No one can drive him away, unless he wants to be rude in front of others."

Now someone has used Mu Xueyan to slander Chu Xuanchi's reputation. If he is rude again, I am afraid that someone will say that he is arrogant.

Chu Xuanchi knew that she was wary of Chu Xuanhan, so he changed the subject, "Prince Jin's behavior is really strange, can Zhao Zhao figure out the reason?"

Mo Zhaohua has been thinking about it for a long time. "No, I can't figure it out. Even if he doesn't get close to Miss Mu, there is no need to offend anyone, right?"

Chu Xuanchi frowned slightly, "There must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary. We can't figure it out, so we can only be extra cautious and not fall into his trap."

When mentioning this, Mo Zhaohua recalled what Mu Xueyan said at that time, "I am very happy to hear what Miss Mu said today."

Chu Xuanchi chuckled, "I've said before that Xueyan only treats me as a brother and has no romantic feelings for me. Can you rest assured now?"

Mo Zhaohua finally smiled, "Haven't I always believed in my husband? Why have I ever worried about this?"

"I understand. You care about Xue Yan. She is now more obedient and has a certain respect for Zhao Zhao."

Chu Xuanchi was really embarrassed to be caught in the middle. He didn't want Mo Zhaohua to be wronged, nor did he want Mu Xueyan to be unhappy.

Mo Zhaohua felt relieved. "That's right. She didn't show me a bad face in front of others, which is to protect my reputation."
