Thinking of this, Consort Jiang glanced at the Empress Dowager with a hint of resentnt in her eyes.
"No matter. Everyone kneels when they see Aijia, but this military etiquette, Aijia has not yet experienced. Young Mu today knows how to please Aijia." The Empress Dowager spoke, quelling a debate about etiquette.
It was obvious that she was partial towards Mu Qingge.
Not only did Consort Jiang notice this, but Mu Ge also felt it.
Her eyes flashed, and she thought to herself: How strange. The son is indifferent to her, yet the mother spoils and favors her. What ga is this now?
"Young Mu, aren’t you going to et your future mother-in-law and your future wife?" The Empress Dowager’s sudden teasing interrupted Mu Ge’s thoughts and further frayed her nerves.
Yesterday, she had just learned she surprisingly had an extraordinary fiancée, and today she was to et both mother and daughter together?
Mu Ge’s mouth twitched. Under the Empress Dowager’s ’guidance’, she had already figured out the identities of the mother and daughter who had just impressed her a mont ago.
What ill fate had she encountered to run into such a farcical situation?
Fiancée... fiancée... whimpering, what sin had she committed in her past life!
Her complexion subtly changed several tis, then Mu Ge turned to face Consort Jiang and Princess Changle, nodding in greeting: "Qingge greets Your Ladyship Consort and Her Highness the Princess." After knowing she had a fiancée, Mu Ge had hurriedly absorbed so information from Mu Qingge.
She knew that the birth mother of Princess Changle, with whom she had a marital agreent, was the beloved consort of the current Emperor, Lady Jiang. Moreover, Lady Jiang was also the birth mother of Prince Rui, Qin Jinhao.
This ant that if she really married Princess Changle, the Prince Rui, Qin Jinhao, whom her forr self adored, would beco her brother-in-law.
’What a ss of relationships is this TND!’ Mu Ge, while bowing her head in salute, roared furiously in her heart.
"Hmph." Seeing that Mu Ge still refused to kneel before her but restrained by the presence of the Empress Dowager, Consort Jiang snorted coldly, showing no pleasant expression and forgetting the prior instructions of the Empress Dowager.
However, Qin Yiyao did not exhibit any displeasure, rely nodding in return and maintaining her previous silence.
The reactions of the mother and daughter caught not only Mu Ge’s eye but the Empress Dowager’s as well.
Consort Jiang’s action made the Empress Dowager’s eyes flash with a cold smile, yet she remained impassive.
"Today, Aijia is also tired. Yao’er, accompany Young Mu for a walk on behalf of Aijia." The Empress Dowager leaned back against her chair, appearing sowhat weary.
Upon hearing this dismissal, everyone tactfully rose to prepare to leave.
At this mont, the Empress Dowager addressed Mu Qingge again: "Young Mu, Aijia heard that you recently went to play in the Sunset Wilderness. That is not a good place, so do not go again to avoid making everyone worry about you. You are also about to co of age; you should settle down and spend more ti with Yao’er. You are of similar ages and are future spouses; fostering feelings is the proper path."
Afterward, she also spoke to Qin Yiyao: "Yao’er, the sa applies to you. If you want to attend gatherings, hunting trips, or outings in the future, bring Qingge along. Whenever a girl with a betrothal appears in public, it is always better to have her husband by her side."
These words from the Empress Dowager sought to bind their future lives together.
Mu Ge’s eyes turned slightly cold. Of all the things the Empress Dowager said, she could not stand the casualness with which she referred to ’playing.’
The deaths of the five hundred trusted aides of the Mu Mansion, she almost... no, the real Mu Qingge had already died. That bloody battlefield was described as play.
And even Qin Yiyao’s expression changed slightly before she reluctantly consented with a yes.
