Mu Jin walked up to Su Yuntian and Shen Qianqian and smiled at them: "I'm sorry to have kept the prince and Concubine Shen waiting for a long time."

Seeing that Su Yuntian remained silent, Shen Qianqian smiled softly: "It's my duty, it's no big deal."

Then Mu Jin smiled at Su Yuntian and said, "Let's go, Your Majesty."

After Mu Jin finished speaking, he got into the carriage with the help of Qing'er.

As a concubine, Shen Qianqian could not ride in the same carriage with the prince or the principal wife according to etiquette.

Su Yuntian turned his head and looked at Shen Qianqian, whose eyes were slightly red. He patted Shen Qianqian's hand gently with some apology to comfort her, and then followed Mu Jin into the carriage.

The carriage was very spacious. When Su Yuntian came in, Mu Jin was lying on the cushion, holding a cup of tea and smelling it. When she saw Su Yuntian walk into the carriage, she did not greet him, as if she had met a stranger. She did not have the smiling face that she had when they met before.

Looking at Mu Jin like this, Su Yuntian was not annoyed. He just shouted to the outside calmly: "Let's set off."

Following Su Yuntian's instructions, the carriage started moving slowly.

Along the way, Mu Jin could feel Su Yuntian was looking at him. After all, Su Yuntian's eyes were too scorching.

Mu Jin couldn't bear it a bit and couldn't help but give Su Yuntian a blank look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If I remember correctly, you used to be too lazy to even look at me. Don't you feel tired of looking at me like this?"

Su Yuntian looked at her, his eyes full of unfathomable thoughts, and after a long while he said in a low voice: "Not tired."

When Mu Jin saw his expression, the smile on her face froze. Su Yuntian's reaction seemed to be beyond her expectations.

Mu Jin couldn't help but think of the way Su Yuntian was getting horny towards her the night before. Her heart tightened. She was a little afraid that Su Yuntian would get horny towards her in the bathroom like he did last night.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin couldn't help but move to the side a few times, away from Su Yuntian.

Looking at Mu Jin's actions, Su Yuntian felt a little lost and a little scared. He always felt that Mu Jin's distance from him was not just in terms of location, but that her entire person was getting farther and farther away from her, so far that he could hardly catch her.

Until they entered the palace, neither of them said a word in the carriage.

When they arrived outside the imperial palace, Mu Jin lifted the curtain slightly and saw that many royal family members and officials' relatives had arrived outside the palace one after another.

The carriage from Prince Yun's Mansion stopped in an open space next to the palace gate.

Su Yuntian lifted the curtain and got off the carriage first. When Mu Jin lifted her skirt and followed her out, Su Yuntian extended his hand to her.

Mu Jin paused for a moment, and without being pretentious, she handed her hand to Su Yuntian, letting him help her get off the carriage. This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Shen Qianqian, who was helped off the carriage by a maid.

Su Yuntian's golden-embroidered python-patterned prince's uniform contrasted with Mu Jin's golden-embroidered peony-patterned princess' uniform. In everyone's eyes, they didn't seem to have the discord that outsiders had said. Instead, they seemed to be in harmony and had a lasting love.

Seeing several officials around him about to come forward to salute him, Su Yuntian turned around and stretched out his hand to Mu Jin, motioning Mu Jin to put his hand in his.

Mu Jin didn't want to cooperate with Su Yuntian in doing these superficial efforts. When he was about to refuse, he saw Shen Qianqian standing not far away, looking at them pitifully with red eyes.

Seeing this, Mu Jin smiled gently. She put her hand in Su Yuntian's hand and let Su Yuntian hold her hand.

It's no wonder that Su Yuntian at this moment gave people the feeling that he was deeply affectionate, which made Shen Qianqian feel even more uncomfortable.

Shen Qianqian had spent two whole days preparing for today's palace banquet, just to be able to walk together with Su Yuntian in the spotlight. Now given the situation, how could she not feel uncomfortable?

There was a bustling crowd outside the palace gate. It seemed that this palace banquet was prosperous and lively. The grand scale of the banquet showed that the people attending this banquet were extraordinary.

The group walked into the palace gate and headed towards the imperial garden where the banquet was to be held.

Mu Jin had been to the imperial palace before, and when he walked into the imperial city again, he was still amazed by the palaces and buildings that stood one after another inside.

Those magnificent palaces were exquisitely decorated, and every detail demonstrated power and glory. Under the bright lights, the jade buildings looked splendid and gorgeous.

Along the way, they occasionally met officials with their wives and families. They came over to greet Su Yuntian and Mu Jin, and Su Yuntian accepted them one by one, holding Mu Jin's hand.

Shen Qianqian followed behind the two of them, not conspicuous.

Officials who knew her knew that she was the niece of Concubine De, the cousin of Prince Yun, and the concubine of Prince Yun.

Even strangers could guess Shen Qianqian's identity. After all, most of those who came tonight were important officials of the imperial court, and they knew something about their family situations.

But they couldn't understand why Prince Yun would bring his concubine with him. If he loved his concubine, then what about the affectionate couple in front?

No matter what the situation was, it only provided some more jokes and topics for the people attending the palace banquet.

The weather is clear tonight, with a light breeze and a hint of coolness. The sky is a deep blue, with stars twinkling with faint but charming light.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, casting its silver light and casting a mysterious veil over the entire palace.

After Mu Jin entered the Imperial Garden, he could not help but sigh that this garden built by the ancients was as big as a modern square, with all kinds of famous trees, exotic flowers and plants, which made people overwhelmed.

There was a stage in the middle of a corner of the garden, and court musicians and dancers were playing attentively. It was simply too luxurious.

The royal family members and officials, each with their families, ladies and young ladies, in their beautiful clothes, gathered at the entrance of the Imperial Garden. When they met someone they knew, they chatted and laughed, creating a very banquet atmosphere.

Of course, there was some open and covert comparison, such as where did you buy your hairpins and rings, where did her skirts get tailored, and if someone said they bought them in Shuyu Tower, they would pretend to flatter them. Afterwards, they were all taken to their corresponding seats by palace servants.

Su Yuntian and the other two were arranged to sit by the palace servants. Su Yuntian sat on the left, Mu Jin sat on the right, and Shen Qianqian could only sit on the right of Mu Jin according to etiquette.

Mu Jin turned around and smiled at Shen Qianqian, saying, "The prince loves Concubine Shen. In fact, you can sit on the left side of the prince, and no one dares to say anything."

Shen Qianqian's heart was moved. She looked up at Su Yuntian expectantly. At this moment, a cheerful voice called out, "Ah Jin, you're here."

The three of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw two people standing not far away, one of whom was Su Muxue, the source of the sound.

She was wearing exquisite palace makeup, and apart from the princess's crown, she was wearing an eye-catching butterfly tassel hairpin, which was the same hairpin that Mu Jin bought at Shuyu Tower yesterday and gave to Su Muxue.

The hairpin looked even more dazzling under the light as Su Muxue walked happily.

Walking together with Su Muxue was a man wearing a moon-white straight-collared robe, a waist belt with a moon-white auspicious cloud pattern, and a luxurious gilded purple robe outside. He looked lazy and unrestrained. Who else could it be but Su Yi?
