The Princess carries an air of majesty wherever she goes.
As Qin Yiyao approached, the women clustered around Mu Qingge dispersed, leaving space for the two of them.
The situation seemed somewhat awkward.
It was Shao Fatty who was quick-witted, realizing that the Princess seemed to have something to discuss with Mu Qingge, so he ushered the beauties back to the creek.
You He and Hua Yue, being Mu Qingge’s personal maids, naturally stayed behind to attend to the two.
Bai Xiyue, at this moment, also stood considerately at a distance, waiting.
You He carefully found a clean cup, washed it with wine, poured a cup, and handed it to Qin Yiyao.
Mu Qingge did not use a cup, but directly clasped the wine flask with her fingers.
Qin Yiyao took a sip of the wine and placed the cup down. She said to Mu Qingge, "In ten days, there will be a Hunting Flower Festival held at the Royal Hunting Ground outside the city. I hope you can accompany me to attend."
"Is this the Empress Dowager’s idea?" Mu Qingge asked, raising an eyebrow.
Qin Yiyao did not speak, seeming to acquiesce to Mu Qingge’s guess.
In fact, Mu Qingge didn’t know that this invitation was Qin Yiyao’s own decision. But it also had to do with the Empress Dowager. Because before, the Empress Dowager had warned Qin Yiyao that, in order to avoid misunderstandings and maintain her good name when participating in events among noble families, it would be best to bring Mu Qingge along.
Therefore, Qin Yiyao was silent, unsure whether her decision was due to her own reasons or because of what the Empress Dowager had said before.
"Hunting and flower viewing? What purpose does it serve for a wastrel like me?" Mu Qingge tossed aside the wine bottle, laying back with her hands behind her head, reclining on the fabric beneath her.
"You! Would you consider it as accompanying me to go?" Qin Yiyao, blocked by Mu Qingge, didn’t know what to say. She didn’t realize until she spoke in a pleading tone—what had happened to her?
Mu Qingge’s gaze shifted slightly, falling on Qin Yiyao in her blue dress.
Remembering how this young lady had helped her once during a palace banquet, she sat up and called to Shao Fatty, "Fatty, are you free in ten days?"
Shao Fatty did not understand the reason but still nodded truthfully.
Mu Qingge immediately looked at Qin Yiyao, "If I go, I must take Shao Fatty with me."
Qin Yiyao pressed her lips lightly and nodded, "Alright."
Having received Qin Yiyao’s approval, Mu Qingge curled her lips into a smile and once again told Shao Fatty, "Fatty, go back and prepare. Accompany me to the Royal Hunting Ground in ten days to attend the Hunting Flower Festival."
This invitation delighted Shao Fatty, who immediately jumped up joyfully and responded, "Alright!"
After speaking, he charged into the crowd of women like an eagle swooping down on chicks, eliciting a chorus of shrieks.
Witnessing this scene, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but pull her lips into a slight smile.
Qin Yiyao watched the smile on her lips, then looked at the boisterous Shao Fatty, frowned, and asked in confusion, "Although you are both known as wastrels, I can see that you are different. Why, why did you become friends?"
This time, Qin Yiyao’s tone was noticeably different from before when she had told her to stay away from Shao Fatty. It was not filled with disgust or disdain, only simple curiosity.
Thus, Mu Qingge merely smiled lightly and said, "Don’t you think he’s more genuine than many others?"
