Finally, they arrived at the palace gate, the carriage stopped, and the driver said respectfully: "Seventh Prince, we are here."

The noise in the carriage finally stopped, and after a long while, Mu Gu jumped off the carriage.

His collar was still a little messy, but the first thing he did after jumping off the carriage was to turn around and pick up Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge's hair was a little messy, but she acted as if nothing had happened. She put her little hand into Mu Gu's palm and used his strength to get off the carriage step by step.

Seeing his beloved woman pretending to be calm, Mu Gu suppressed the smile on his face and reached out to fix her hair.

He straightened the crooked hairpin until there was nothing wrong with it. Then he smiled and prepared to take Xiao Ruge's hand to enter the palace, but he was stopped by Xiao Ruge.

Looking at Mu Gu's torn collar, Xiao Ruge sighed inwardly, but still reached out to help him tidy it up, and in the meantime patted away a small footprint on the hem of his clothes.

She looked at him again, making sure that Mu Gu had regained his gentlemanly appearance, and then she nodded.

From beginning to end, Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge silently with a curled mouth, just like a husband looking at his little wife, tidying her clothes before he goes out.

This feeling is really too wonderful!

Mu Gu wanted to reach out and hold Xiao Ruge's hand, but she dodged him.

Seeing the person who took Bai Zhi and stepped into Huade Gate first, he hurriedly chased after them.

"Ruge, we're already engaged, so it's okay to hold hands!"

As he said this, he tried to hold Xiao Ruge's hand again, but she slapped him away.

"There are so many people coming and going here, please don't be rude, Your Highness!"

Even if the two of them are engaged, it's not a real relationship...

But it didn't seem right to say this. After all, the two of them had kissed, and that was not something friends or partners should do.

Xiao Ruge was a little confused about her relationship with Mu Gu, and she herself couldn't tell what her feelings were towards this person.

But there is one thing she is sure of, she is becoming less and less averse to Mu Gu's touch.

This is not a good phenomenon, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"They wouldn't dare to say anything even if they saw it. Ruge, can you let me pull it for a while, just once?"

Mu Gu stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Xiao Ruge, but was ignored by Xiao Ruge.

When passing by the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I saw some ministers walking out from afar. It seemed that they had just finished the morning court session.

Because Ao Rong also entered the palace today, Mu Huan headed towards the harem after court, intending to go to Shangyun Palace to pick up Ao Rong and pay his respects to Concubine Chun.

He looked up and saw Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge looking at him, so he quickly smiled and waved to them.

Seeing him walking quickly towards them, Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu stopped naturally, and when the person arrived, they both saluted.

"Third Brother!"

"Greetings to His Majesty the Third Prince!"

Since what happened last time, the relationship between Mu Gu and Mu Huan has become closer.

Because it was Mu Gu who led people to support Mu Huan, Concubine Chun's attitude towards Concubine Zhao also changed a lot.

In the past, they were just nodding acquaintances, but nowadays, he would send some things to Zhaoyang Palace from time to time, and most of them were practical items that could be used by Zhaoyang Palace.

"You used to call me Third Brother, but why did you become distant with me after getting engaged to Seventh Brother?"

Mu Huan looked at the two of them with a smile on his face. The more he looked, the more he felt that they were a perfect match.

Xiao Ruge thought about it and felt that it was right, so she smiled and called for someone else.

"Third brother."

"Hey! That's right! Let's go together!"

Knowing that Xiao Ruge had entered the palace to talk to Concubine Zhao, since everyone in the harem took this route anyway, they left together while talking.

Mu Bai stood in front of the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, watching the departing figures coldly, and couldn't help but clenching his fists.

He is obviously the most favored prince, but why have no other brothers ever treated him like this?

But then he thought, even if they had a good relationship, what would it matter? Wouldn't they still fight for the throne and become enemies in the end?

I don’t know who I’m pretending to be for.

Mu Bo snorted coldly and strode towards the outside of the palace.

Mu Huan and the other two separated at the fork in the road in the Imperial Garden. One went towards Shangyun Palace, while Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge went towards Zhaoyang Palace.

It was early winter now, and there were no more flowers worth seeing in the Imperial Garden. However, the silver willows planted along the way swayed slightly in the cold wind, adding a bit of interest.

"There are many roses planted in the flower room of the Mother's Palace. I went to see them yesterday and found that many of them were in bloom. They were colorful and very beautiful. I will pick some for you later!"

Glancing at the desolate imperial garden, Mu Gu tried to please Xiao Ruge.

Xiao Ruge glared at him after hearing this. "The flower is blooming beautifully and has not offended you. Why did you pick it? Can't you just let it bloom beautifully on the branch?"

After thinking about it, he felt it was right, so Mu Gu changed his method.

"Then when I send you out of the palace, I'll bring you two basins!"

Xiao Ruge was speechless. "I don't want any flowers, and I can't take care of them. I'd rather put them in Concubine Zhao's palace. I'll come to the palace to admire them when I have time."

"That's too much trouble to run around. It's easier to just carry two pots home."

One of them was thinking about his mother's flowers, while the other was trying to dissuade him from the idea. They argued with each other and came to Zhaoyang Palace.

Zhaopin was already waiting at the door wearing a thick cloak. When she saw the two of them coming over chatting and laughing, her eyes were full of kindness.

Looking up and seeing Concubine Zhao looking at her with a smile, Xiao Ruge hurriedly took two steps forward.

"Greetings to Concubine Zhao, may the queen be blessed with good health and happiness!"

"Hurry up and get up. There's no need for all the empty formalities between us! Are you cold after all this walking? Come inside and warm up!"

Although Xiao Ruge's hands did not feel cold, Zhaopin still pulled her into the house quickly.

It was very warm in the main hall. After entering, everyone took off their cloaks. After Bi Yan and Ling Lai served tea to them, they stepped aside.

"What were you talking about just now? It seems like you two are getting along very well!"

Before the two of them had established a relationship, Concubine Zhao had liked Xiao Ruge very much. Now, the more the mother-in-law looks at her daughter-in-law, the more she likes her.

Xiao Ruge didn't know what to say to Concubine Zhao, but Mu Gu, holding the teacup, said directly: "Mother, I'm asking Ruge for two pots of roses from you!"

Hearing this, Zhaopin's eyes lit up, "Ruge also likes to grow flowers?"

Xiao Ruge was a little embarrassed, "My queen, I am good at curing illnesses and saving lives, but I am not so good at growing flowers. So I just told His Highness the Seventh Prince not to send it, so as not to waste good things."

"It's okay. You'll know what's wrong with flowers and plants if you keep them for a while. When you leave, go to the greenhouse with Gu'er and pick out two pots to take with you. If they get spoiled, just come back to me and get some."
