Mo Zhaohua also wanted to go to the palace to see the Queen Mother and Concubine De. "A few days is fine. Anyway, I have nothing to do in the mansion."

"Okay, I'll tell mother when I get back that she doesn't have to worry about me as long as my cousin is here." Rong Yue was not very thorough in the palace rules and etiquette.

Zhongli was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would find fault with her and implicate Concubine De, so she rarely allowed her to enter the palace alone.

While they were talking, the female guests were whispering, mostly talking about Prince Qi Chu Xuanhan.

In fact, Prince Rui Chu Xuanlin is also good-looking, with regular features and elegant temperament, but he pales in comparison to Chu Xuanhan.

"Prince Qi and Prince Rui are here too. It seems this is not just a matchmaking event, but also a concubine selection meeting."

"Both princes have reached adulthood, and it is indeed time for them to get married. Wasn't there a rumor before that His Royal Highness Prince Qi was going to choose a concubine?"

"Your Highness Prince Qi is truly a man of great talent. I wonder which girl will be favored by him."

Mo Yaohua pricked up her ears and looked proud when she heard this, because she was the girl who was favored by King Qi.

Under his coaxing, she was willing to give him her pure body even though she had no name or status.

"Although I can't guess who it is, it's definitely not a daughter of an official like us. Our family background is a bit inferior after all."

"Yes, we are not worthy of marrying the prince. At best, we can be a concubine, or at best, a concubine."

The opposite of daughters of officials are daughters of aristocratic families. They come from prominent family backgrounds and have always been the first choice for royal descendants.

Those girls from aristocratic families became complacent when they saw that the girls from official families were self-aware. After all, the emperor had to rely on aristocratic families.

When talking about her family background, Mo Yaohua felt like she had something stuck in her throat. She was unwilling to be just a concubine, and she would not even look down on the concubine of a prince.

The corner of Mo Zhaohua's eyes would occasionally wander over Mo Yaohua, taking in her pride and disappointment.

The princess and her husband arranged seats for the male and female guests. While they were talking, Prince Qi, Prince Rui and the prince of the palace had gone to the male guests, and several princesses came over to the female guests.

The female guests were still discussing Chu Xuanhan, with Yuchi Jiuyue, the granddaughter of the General Zhenguo, leading the discussion.

She deliberately mentioned Mo Zhaohua, "Could it be that the second young lady of the Mo family was unable to enter Prince Qi's mansion because of her family background?"

When she learned earlier that Chu Xuanhan had feelings for Mo Zhaohua, she was sad for a long time. Later, Mo Zhaohua arranged for her to marry Prince Yu, and she was determined to get the position of Princess Qi.

Hearing this, Mo Zhaohua looked at her. He remembered that in her previous life, she was extremely in love with Chu Xuanhan and wanted to make him a concubine. However, the General's Mansion did not want her to be suppressed by them and therefore did not agree.

Thinking of what she had done after she got married, Mo Zhaohua looked at Mo Yaohua silently, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

While Mo Zhaohua was thinking, he heard someone agreeing, "Yes, it was said before that His Royal Highness Prince Qi intended to marry her as his principal wife, so why did he grant the marriage later…"

Someone whispered, "Shh... keep your voice down. Didn't you see that person is here today? Aren't you afraid of speaking out of turn?"

Mo Zhaohua became the subject of discussion because of Chu Xuanhan, but she didn't care about it. She just wanted to know whether the post she received had anything to do with him.

Chu Xuanhan failed to marry her, but wanted to marry Mo Yaohua. If she didn't come, Mo Yaohua wouldn't be able to come, so she guessed that something big would happen today.

Yuchi Jiuyue looked at Mo Zhaohua proudly, "We are telling the truth, I believe Miss Mo will not mind it."

Mo Zhaohua said sternly, "It is true that the marriage was granted, but please do not bring Zhao Zhao along with you for your private affairs."

Yuchi Jiyue felt as if he was looking at a defeated general, "You are clearing yourself so quickly? I heard that you used to be..."

"Miss Yuchi, be careful with your words. Zhao Zhao and His Royal Highness Prince Qi have never had a private relationship. Clarifying this matter is also for everyone's good."

Mo Zhaohua is now engaged, and her fiancé is Prince Yu. If they speak without restraint, they will really cause trouble, which will be a slap in the face of Prince Yu.

Yuchi Jiyue's eyes showed a hint of ridicule, "Jiyue understands, thank you Miss Mo for reminding me."

***

Today's flower viewing banquet is divided into two sessions.

In the morning, I simply admired the flowers, had lunch at noon, and in the afternoon, I composed poems and couplets in the name of flowers.

Now that the guests have met the host, they move together to admire the peonies and tree peonies that are in full bloom.

Just as everyone stood up, there was a huge commotion among the male guests, which attracted the attention of the female guests.

Everyone at the men's seat made way to welcome a new male guest, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

When Mo Zhaohua saw Chu Xuanchi, her mind went blank for a moment. She couldn't think of it and couldn't understand why he appeared?

Ever since he came back from his injury, he hasn't even attended the palace banquet. How could he be invited to a blind date like today?

Chu Xuanchi was pushed by Wuying in front of the Princess Danyang and her husband. He smiled and greeted them, "Auntie, Prince Consort."

The eldest princess' attitude towards him was a little cold, "Old Fifth, it's rare that you are willing to come out, you must have fun today."

She is a person who shows everything on her face, always does her own thing, never compromises herself, and is unfamiliar with Chu Xuanchi, and is unwilling to pretend to like him.

The smile on Chu Xuanchi's face faded a little, "I really don't want to go out, but my father always summoned me to the palace to talk to him, and I can't disobey the emperor's order."

Although he came to the Princess's Mansion today because of Emperor Wen Zong, it was also related to Chu Xuanhan and Mo Zhaohua. He was afraid that the incident at the last coming-of-age ceremony would happen again.

The female guests looked at Chu Xuanchi who was coming slowly, and they also gathered in groups of three or five and started talking in low voices.

"Why is His Royal Highness here?"

"Didn't you say that His Royal Highness doesn't like going out?"

"Maybe the injury has healed a little, let's go out and move around."

"This is the first time I've met His Royal Highness. How come he is different from what was rumored?"
