Mu Qingge was wandering around the palace.
With her status, and that flamboyant red dress, even the Inner Guard would only salute her from a distance and let her pass.
It could be said that as long as she didn’t venture into the Inner Courtyard or the forbidden areas of the palace, she could roam freely within the Imperial Palace.
Because her grandfather was Mu Xiong.
Because she was an inherited young Lord.
And also because she was the future Prince Consort of Princess Changle.
Most importantly, because the Empress Dowager had once granted her the privilege to roam freely in the palace.
With such honor and favor, who else could it be besides the young Lord of Mu Mansion, Mu Qingge?
’The palace is no big deal.’ Mu Qingge, killing ti, found herself unimpressed with the Qin Country Palace’s splendor and grandeur after the initial novelty wore off.
"Sigh~! So boring! At this ti, I should be enjoying Hua Yue’s massage and You He’s gourt food." Mu Qingge regretted her decision to enter the palace early once again.
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a soft, timid voice ca from behind her.
Mu Qingge paused, turned around to look, and only then realized she had unknowingly wandered into an unfrequented, abandoned garden.
To call it an abandoned garden wasn’t without basis.
Because here, overgrown weeds spread everywhere, and the exposed stones were covered with moss. The buildings in the garden had crooked doors and windows, covered in cobwebs. What else could it be but an abandoned garden in the palace?
But if it were an abandoned garden, then besides her, who had inadvertently entered, who else could be here?
Mu Qingge looked around and quickly spotted a pair of innocent, pure eyes within the grass.
So clean!
Those eyes, free of any impurities, shook Mu Qingge.
Perhaps, because her past experiences were too complicated, she always had an innate fondness for simple, pure things.
Moving lightly, Mu Qingge slowly approached the pair of eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" The owner of those eyes, seemingly startled, shrank back and asked again.
The waist-high weeds swayed with her movent, yet also exposed more of her figure.
"And who are you?" Mu Qingge approached, bending down to ask.
From that soft voice, she knew it was a young girl hiding in the grass. At this mont, she could see the girl curled up in the weeds and realized she was likely only twelve or thirteen, slightly younger than herself.
The most eye-catching feature on her cute dumpling-like face was those pure deer-like eyes. Her teary expression looked like mountain creek water, untouched by any pollution.
Her hair was styled in twin buns, adorned with silver flowers. A vermillion beauty mark was dotted on her forehead, adding a touch of charm to her cuteness.
Beneath was a light green palace dress, which, judging by the style and complexity, indicated her status was not low.
"I am Lianlian." The girl replied softly.
After offering her answer, she suddenly realized, and her hands quickly covered her mouth as if shocked by her honesty in answering a stranger.
"Lianlian?" The girl’s adorable and silly reaction made Mu Qingge even more delighted, and she broke into a smile.
This smile left the girl srized, and she couldn’t help but blurt out praise: "Brother, you look really good. You’re even more beautiful when you smile."
Uh!
The smile froze on Mu Qingge’s lips. She chuckled twice inwardly.
