As she said that, she lowered her head and glanced at her mother's belly. This time may have already come.

Mrs. Yongyi Hou smiled and said, "Of course I believe in real people, but I am getting older."

Mrs. Yongyi Hou is nearly forty. There are very few women who can get pregnant after thirty, let alone her age. After giving birth to Mu Xinghe, she was no longer pregnant. She thought it was because the previous birth had damaged her vitality. After several years of raising her, the doctor also saw her several times, but she couldn't find her pregnant.

"It'll be okay." Holding the hands hidden in her sleeves tightly, she decided not to allow anyone to hurt her mother and brother.

"Yes, mother, the nuns all say that having children depends on fate. Since the real person said there is fate, it will definitely not go wrong." Mu Hanyan smiled and said these pleasant words, "Mother You just need to take good care of your body."

While they were talking, the emperor, empress, and princes and princesses all came. Except for King Chen, who had disabled legs, everyone in the royal family came.

Mu Xinghe stood up and saluted along with everyone, and then sat down after the emperor spoke.

As soon as she sat down, Mu Xinghe felt countless eyes falling on her. She liked to be quiet. Unless she had to go to a banquet, she would basically not attend it, so not many people had seen her, so many people were interested in her. curious.

The main reason is to see if Mu Xinghe, who is dubbed "the most beautiful woman in Lingnan", is worthy of the name.

Mu Xinghe has no makeup on, but she is more beautiful and charming than those women who are dressed up. Even those who have seen her many times will be amazed by her every time they see her.

Then, the envoy came to see him and was placed below the prince, showing him full respect.

Mu Xinghe, like the other women, all lowered their eyes slightly. Of course, the other women were looking secretly, but she was really not interested.

Qidong and Lingnan are very close to each other, and their folk customs are very similar in terms of clothing and food. Their bodies are not as tall and strong as those of the Qinbei and Bianjun tribes.

It's just that Qidong has more marriages with women from outside Fang, so his appearance is more profound and not as gentle as the people from Lingnan.

Mu Xinghe had no interest in listening to their greetings. He skipped many things in his mind and opened them one by one, crumbling them into pieces.

"Nanny...Nanny..."

Mu Xinghe was startled suddenly, suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and raised his head, "What's wrong, mother?"

Mrs. Yongyi Hou looked at her with some worry, "Her Royal Highness the Queen is calling you."

She took a few steps forward, knelt down and saluted, "My lord, I see you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Queen."

The queen didn't care about Mu Xinghe's distraction, and motioned for people to come up.

Mu Xinghe ignored the envious and jealous looks of all the ladies and walked up. The queen took her hand and placed an arrow in her palm.

The arrow head is made of jade, not for archery, but a gold treasure for hunting. Every year during the autumn hunting, the emperor and empress would give arrows to their ministers and their family members, one for men and one for women.

If you get this arrow and get the top spot in Qiu Hunt, you can ask for a favor, and this will happen every year.

But only King Chen received this grace. After all, once he got the arrow, he became the leading bird. How could he not be targeted while hunting?

"Xing'er, I am very optimistic about you. You must not let me down!" The queen held Mu Xinghe's hand very hard.

Mu Xinghe lowered his eyes and showed a decent smile, "Empress, my equestrian skills are average. I'm really not as good as Princess Lin'an. I'm afraid I won't be able to bring glory to the empress."

Why didn't she understand what the queen meant? But the person the queen favored at the beginning was not her, but Princess Lin'an.

Not only him, but some people sitting below who knew the inside story also said, "It's a pity..."

The queen's face froze slightly, but she couldn't refuse and put the arrow in her hand and held it tightly.

The imperial power was supreme, and Mu Xinghe had no choice but to accept it. She knelt down and thanked him, "I thank the Queen for the reward."

The queen took off the hosta on her head and inserted it into Mu Xinghe's hair. She smiled, but there was a cruel look in her eyes, "Xing'er has always been well-behaved, and I will definitely not disappoint this palace."

When the emperor saw this scene, he was a little unhappy and waved his hand to let Mu Xinghe go down.

At this time, the prince also stood up and knelt down, "Father, I would like to ask for this arrow."

The emperor raised his eyes, "Oh?"

Prince Xiao Zhe showed a shy expression on his face and said, "Father, I would like to ask for a favor for the person I like."

The queen looked at Xiao Zhe with a sharp look in her eyes, "Oh? I wonder which girl the emperor has fallen in love with?"

The emperor looked at him and asked.

Xiao Zhe's eyes were affectionate and slightly depressed, perfectly interpreting the mentality of asking for something but not getting it, "I want to ask for this grace for her first."

The emperor looked at that appearance, remembered something in a daze, and nodded in agreement with his request.

Mu Xinghe, who was sitting in her seat, was very shocked. She knew clearly that the scene where the arrow was handed to her had indeed happened. But she had no impression of Xiao Zhe's request for grace.

Why is this so?

Is everything so real just a dream?

Mu Xinghe suppressed his random thoughts and raised his head to look at Xiao Zhe. He happened to look at him and turned around, meeting his eyes.

Before she could take back the shock in her eyes, Xiao Zhe also became gentle when he saw her.

He only thought that the shock in her eyes was that he was the one who saved her a few days ago.

Mu Xinghe immediately lowered her head and took a deep breath. Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, she would never fall in love with this man again this time.

Then, the emperor took out another arrow and said, "King Yu of Qidong is also here today. I will also give you this good luck and wish you success. If you can get the first prize, without affecting the friendship between the two countries, I will Maybe one for you.”

It seems useful, but in fact it is useless. If Qidong puts forward conditions that they are not willing to accept, the group of literati ministers will be able to find out the things that affect the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries because of this matter.

King Yu had known about this for a long time, otherwise he would not have deliberately gone there during the autumn hunting. Now he was here to initiate the emperor's proposal to marry the royal daughter as his queen. But the queen of another country is also a successor. Even if she can give birth to a child after marrying, it is impossible for her son to become the emperor. Naturally, no one will be willing.

But Qidong now needs marriage. Except for the empress, who is particularly noble, the other princes are either under age or have concubines. It is impossible to divorce or kill their wives in order to marry a royal daughter of another country.

So it seemed that only Emperor Qidong, whose position as queen had been vacant for many years, was suitable.

Qidong wanted to form a marriage and offered considerable benefits to Emperor Lingnan, but it was not easy to say this directly in court, otherwise it would be obvious that he was selling his daughter!

King Yu stood up, took the arrow, put one hand on his chest, and bent down, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your country has a lot of capabilities, and I should do my best. If I am lucky enough to get the top spot, it is also due to the lucky draw given by Your Majesty." good luck."
