Your fiancee ran away with someone again

The matter of Qi Zhan beating Mu Qiu has never been followed up, not to mention Mu Guogong's mansion, even Mu Qiu himself didn't come to the door, giving people a feeling that he just beat him, and Mu Qiu deserved it.

Qi Zhan was frightened for a few days, except when eating, he was not as lively as usual.

What finally relieved him of this worry was an invitation card sent by Mrs. Li. The eldest princess hosted a plum feast, and all the sons, daughters, and daughters of officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing were invited, regardless of whether they were married or not.

The three brothers of the Qi family all have shares, but it is the end of the year, the eldest brother Qi and the Xu family are very busy, only Li can go with them, and the day is well chosen. Holiday.

Mrs. Li told Mu Ting, "This is the first time the Eldest Princess holds a banquet, as long as it is not really impossible, I usually have to give the Eldest Princess a face to go to the banquet."

This eldest princess is the younger sister of the current emperor. Although she is not a compatriot of the same mother, she is also quite favored. It is also because of the love that she is now eighteen and unmarried. The emperor also gave grace to let the eldest princess find her husband. The princess fell in love with the emperor and ordered a marriage.

The eldest princess is a woman, and she was raised in a deep palace since she was a child. The original body didn't know much about her, so she didn't have a good impression of her. He asked Li Shi, "Then the eldest princess is hosting a banquet this time to meet her husband?"

Li said to Mu Ting mysteriously, "It's been rumored outside, but I heard that the eldest princess already has a heart, not to see her husband and son-in-law, but to take the opportunity to meet her sweetheart. Men outside are not allowed to enter the palace at will."

Everyone is interested in gossip, Mu Ting asked curiously, "Then sister-in-law, do you know who the eldest princess's sweetheart is?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "I'm not sure about this, but I should be able to see some clues tomorrow. After all, I can get into the eyes of the eldest princess, and the background is not bad."

There is no need to prepare a gift for this plum appreciation feast, Mrs. Li just asked Mu Ting to choose some nice clothes, so as not to make people laugh at him tomorrow.

Then he asked Mu Ting to tell Qi Zhan, "There will be a lot of people tomorrow, and it is inevitable that someone will bring up some competition. You let the third brother prepare. The last time he was in the limelight, he was different from before. He won't win, but it can't be compared to last time." No, otherwise those jealous people will laugh at third brother again for a long time."

"I see, thank you sister-in-law, don't worry, sister-in-law, he has been working very hard recently." Because he was waiting for the result of beating Mu Qiu, Qi Zhan studied hard in the academy and came back to practice painting. According to himself, he has never worked so hard I just hope that Brother Qi can be gentle when beating him for the sake of being so hardworking.

Mrs. Li also knows why she is hardworking. Mrs. Li laughed when she heard the words, "After so many beatings, I haven't figured out his elder brother's temper. It really makes people don't know what to say. If the Mu family takes the initiative to provoke, if he does nothing If you don't do it, it will make people look down on the Qi family."

What Li said was so obvious, Mu Ting naturally understood what she meant, and thanked with a smile, "Yes, thank you sister-in-law, I will tell him when he comes back, so he doesn't have to worry."

Mrs. Li said a few more words to Mu Ting and left. She also had other things to do.

Mu Ting thought about whether Big Brother Qi knew about his identity. He even wanted to go directly to Qi's mother and confess everything.

But because of the unforeseen consequences and his reluctance to give up, he hesitated. There are still ten days before the Chinese New Year. He wants to stay at Qi's house and spend the new year with Qi Zhan.

This is also the first year he has lived after wearing it, and it always has a different meaning.

He was too preoccupied, even if he tried his best to hide it, for those who really cared about him, they could tell at a glance that something was wrong.

Qi Zhan came back in the afternoon, stared at Mu Ting for a while while he was eating, and then carefully asked, "Ting Ting, is there something I did wrong that made you unhappy?"

Mu Ting looked up in surprise, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Qi Zhan was aggrieved while holding the bowl, "You didn't talk to me today."

Mu Ting shook his head, "You didn't do anything wrong, I was just thinking about something, and don't always feel that you did something wrong."

Qi Zhan explained, "I used to make mistakes a lot, and I'm used to it. I dare to act boldly and admit my mistakes."

Good quality, well taught.

Seeing that Mu Ting was not angry, Qi Zhan was not worried anymore. He put down the bowl and moved the stool next to Mu Ting, "Ting Ting, what are you thinking, is it related to the Mu family?"

In the past few days, Qi Zhan has had people staring at the Mu family, but there has been no movement. Mu Qiu has never been out of the house since he was beaten that day, making people wonder what tricks the Mu family is trying to play.

"I'm just wondering if my elder brother already knows that my identity is wrong, but I don't understand why he doesn't expose me now that he knows."

With Brother Qi's human nature, as long as he knows that Mu Qiu came for him that day, he will definitely have doubts, and then let someone check it out. Even if he doesn't know his real identity, he can still find out that he is not Li distant.

Qi Zhan answered, "It must be because I think you are so good, Ting Ting, and I don't want to expose you and let you leave the Qi family." Anyway, if it were him, there would be a younger sibling who cooks delicious food and teaches his younger brother to improve himself , he must be reluctant to drive away.

"You didn't do anything bad when you came to our house. Our whole family likes you. It doesn't matter if it's Li Yaoyao. Anyway, that woman is not a good person." Qi Zhan sneered at Li Yaoyao, very disgusted.

Mu Ting couldn't figure it out, so he acquiesced to Qi Zhan's statement for the time being, and then told him about participating in the eldest princess's plum feast. Going to play, last time I was disturbed by that bastard Mu Qiu, this time Xiu Mu just made up for it."

"The plum blossoms are the same every year, and I don't know what's so good about them."

But not going, Mu Ting said: "Then let's leave earlier, and then you take me to play."

"Okay!" Qi Zhan was happy when he heard this, "I'll take you to watch a juggling show. It's New Year's Eve. Recently, several juggling troupes have arrived in the capital. The performances are all new and unique. Yu Xuyao ​​and the others have gone to see them. All said good."

Mu Ting nodded and said hello, and he began to look forward to the day of plum appreciation feast earlier.

……

The day before the banquet, it snowed heavily, and the snow was thickly accumulated all over the ground. When I looked up, I saw the snow was white. Mrs. Li stood at the door and talked to Mu Ting, "It's snowing, and it's just right to enjoy the red plum blossoms. First masterpiece."

It is a consistent rule of these flower banquets and snow banquets to hold poetry meetings in good times.

Qi Zhan shook his head beside him, "It's not interesting," he is not interested in this at all, it is far better to go to cockfights and play polo.

Mrs. Li glanced at him, "You have to go if you're not interested, don't even think about running out to play wild."

Just when the carriage arrived, the three of them got into the carriage together. On the way, Mrs. Li told the two of them some things to pay attention to. Later, she would take Mu Ting to meet some female relatives who were close friends with the Qi family, and to recognize them. Then he walked back and talked.

Then he told Qi Zhan that he can't fight with anyone today, after all, the eldest princess is hosting the banquet, and if the eldest princess loses face, it may affect the whole Qi family.

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, Qi Zhan didn't even want to go, wishing he could drag Mu Ting and sneak away halfway.

Of course, it was just thinking about it, the carriage soon stopped at the gate of the plum garden, the three of them were led into the garden by the maidservants, the female relatives went inside and waited for the eldest princess to come, while the male guests were entertained by others.

Mu Ting saw many familiar faces, Zhu Yun from the Zhu family, Yu Ling who hummed him last time, and Qi Zhan's second green hat, Lin Xuan'er, these two people still don't like him, especially Lin Xuan'er , his eyes kept staring at Mu Ting, and he didn't know where so much resentment came from.

Mrs. Li also noticed it, and thought to herself that it was a good thing that the third younger brother didn't marry this girl back then, and it was hard to get along with her because she was so small-minded.

She lowered her voice and said to Mu Ting, "It's just an insignificant person, don't worry about the third sibling."

Mu Ting nodded, as long as this girl doesn't come to provoke him, he won't bother.

It's a pity that Lin Xuan'er didn't realize this. She walked up to Mu Ting in a few steps, took a bracelet from her wrist, shook it in front of him twice, and said to Mu Ting in a condescending tone, "You I came from a small family, I have never seen such a good bracelet, as long as you make me a cake, this lady will reward you with this bracelet, how about it?"

Today's quarrel hadn't started yet, Lin Xuan'er was taking the lead. As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Most of them watched the show with a smile on their faces. Whether they wanted to see Mu Ting being humiliated or Lin Xuan'er being stupid, it was all fun.

Mu Ting looked the girl up and down, and asked curiously, "Why did your family dare to let you out?"

With this brain, is it because he is afraid that the Lin family will not offend enough people?

"What do you mean?" Lin Xuan'er stared, showing dissatisfaction.

Mu Ting shook his head, "It's nothing, Miss Lin, I've mentioned the cake-making rules before, and the Lin family doesn't think about it."

The blunt rejection without any face made Lin Xuan'er blush instantly, "Li Yaoyao, don't be shameless, it is your blessing to be able to make cakes for my Lin family!"

"The Lin family has a big face. They have raised a daughter who can run away with others. Now they want to continue to use this big face to bully my daughter-in-law of the Qi family?"

After Lin Xuan'er finished speaking, before Mu Ting could speak, Li Shi took over the conversation, also mercilessly.

Naturally, Lin Xuan'er recognized Mrs. Li, who was from a good family background. From Lin Xuan'er's point of view, she was determined not to look down on Li Yaoyao, a younger brother and sister from a small family. That's why she dared to marry Li Yaoyao in front of Mrs. Li. Face, but I didn't expect Mrs. Li to defend Li Yaoyao.

Lin Xuan'er felt aggrieved immediately, "Q... sister-in-law, I..."

Mrs. Li raised her hand with a cold expression on her face, "Miss Lin, you and my Qi family are neither related nor related, please don't bark."

"Also, the bracelet in your hand is last year's model. My third sibling is wearing a new model after this winter, but I have never seen a second-hand bracelet like yours. Miss Lin, please keep it. Our Qi family is not A few old bracelets are missing."

As Li said, she seemingly unintentionally pulled up Mu Ting's sleeve, revealing the bracelet on his wrist.

Mother Qi couldn't wear the ones that Mother Qi gave her before, but Mother Qi was a caring person, and specially asked Mu Ting to make several pairs of bracelets that he could wear, so that he could change them if he had nothing to do.

Before going out today, Mrs. Li was afraid that he would not dress up, so she specially came over to stare at him, and let him wear it with one hand, and now it was exposed for everyone to see clearly.

The knowledgeable person immediately recognized the bracelet, and then answered the conversation, saying that the master of Zhai did it, but the conversation turned to the bracelet and Mu Ting in an instant, and Lin Xuan'er, who had no brains, was of course left out in the cold.

Except for a few really stupid ones, which one of the rest is not human? As the daughter-in-law of Qi's family, Li's protection of the third sibling shows the attitude of the Qi family. If so, who would help Lin Xuan'er to offend Qi? family.

Lin Xuan'er was excluded, aggrieved and angry, and gave Mu Ting a hard look, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only sit back in her seat.

Today, it was Yu Ling who was sitting next to her. Yu Ling gave Lin Xuan'er a disgusted look, and cursed softly, "Idiot."

The voice was not too loud, Lin Xuan'er just heard it, she shifted her attention in an instant, and stared at Yu Ling instead, "You are not stupid, who doesn't know your Yu family's thoughts..."

"Shut up, if you dare to say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart!" Yu Ling warned with cold eyes.

"you dare!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, they heard someone shout, "The princess is here~"

After the words fell, the eldest princess appeared at the door, and the people in the room knelt down to greet the eldest princess.

The eldest princess looks quite gorgeous, and today she is wearing a red suit, and her voice is crisp and clear, "Get up, everyone, there is no need to be polite."

After the eldest princess took her seat, the people present sat back to their original positions one by one.

Many of the people here are not familiar with the eldest princess, and those who want to show their face will go forward and introduce themselves to the eldest princess alone.

Mu Ting didn't join in the fun, but the Eldest Princess noticed him, and directly pointed out Mu Ting's identity, "This is the wife of the third son of the Qi family, right? My princess has heard rumors in the capital that you are a good cook." Yi, after seeing her today, I realized that the third young lady is actually so good-looking, she is really a great beauty."

Mu Ting found that when the eldest princess spoke, the eyes on him were a little more playful and inquiring, as if she knew something.

Neither humble nor overbearing, Mu Ting replied with a bow, "The eldest princess is overrated."

Mu Ting didn't say much, he just said this and stopped talking, which made the eldest princess feel like she had hit the cotton with her fist and was not strong enough.

With so many people, she couldn't keep staring at Mu Ting, and had to deal with other people. After a while, someone stepped forward to remind her that she could go to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms.

Both Li Shi and Mu Ting had no intention of going to the eldest princess's side, they walked together with a few women Li Shi knew well, chatted about their parents and enjoyed the scene.

As they talked, they got involved with their heirs. Someone looked at Mu Ting's stomach and asked Li Shi, "It's been a few months since your third sibling came in, hasn't there been any movement?"

Mutin: "..."

He had almost forgotten that there was such a thing as having a baby.

Mrs. Li helped him smooth things over, "They are still young, my third brother is still studying, and I am a child, so there is no rush."

"That's true, but if you have a child, you will be more motivated to be a father. If you can conceive as early as possible, try to be as early as possible. Maybe it can inspire your third child to also be a champion."

There are also women who come to Mu Ting to teach him how to adjust the body to prepare for pregnancy, and ask him whether menstruation is correct, whether he has been cold before, etc. Mu Ting is so embarrassing that he doesn't even know what to say. Then, I can only pretend to be shy and embarrassed to speak to deal with it.

But I thought in my heart, the child is impossible, and it is impossible in this life.

But this also reminded Mu Ting that Qi Zhan was different from him, he wanted to carry on the family line and have children.

Mu Ting suddenly lost interest in admiring the snow and plum blossoms, so he just silently followed Mrs. Li, listening to their conversations, talking about which family in the capital has recently added a concubine to raise an outside room, and who has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. There were gossip about the couple quarreling, but few of them really caught my ears.

After finally having lunch, the male and female guests met. Qi Zhan rushed to find Mu Ting, asked him if he was cold, and discussed with him, and they sneaked away after dinner.

Mu Ting also felt bored, nodded and agreed, and asked Qi Zhan to go back to eat.

Qi Zhan sat back, his brothers started laughing at him, they couldn't leave his wife for a moment.

While talking lively, a mocking voice sounded, "I can't leave my daughter-in-law, what a big joke, everyone in this capital doesn't know that Qi San is a broken sleeve, and he's still pretending here, it's disgusting."

Qi Zhan turned his head, and as expected, it was Zhao Mingfei again, leading his group to sit at the table next to them.

As soon as Zhao Mingfei said this, the people at the table burst into laughter, and someone interrupted, "Qi San'er, you are going to die."

"It's still a lie. The words came from the mouth of Duke Mu's mansion. Qi San is a pervert."

"It's disgusting, Qi San, why do you still have the face to go out?"

"That's right, there is also Yu Xuyao. I wish you a toast. If Qi San has broken sleeves, you still get together with him. You are not afraid of infecting you. Let you die together."

"I'm afraid I've been infected long ago. No wonder I never see them go to the brothel. They are dragging their own people to do it under the quilt."

The more he spoke, the more ugly he sounded, and he deliberately raised his voice, for fear that other people in the room would not be able to hear it.

Mu Qiu said such a thing, but it didn't spread much. Today, Zhao Mingfei and others didn't shout, and not many people in the room knew about it. Of course, they didn't want to offend the Qi family, and they wouldn't say it casually if they knew it.

Yu Xuyao ​​and the others also heard about it, but they didn't take it to heart. After all, Mu Qiu is not a good person, and Qi Zhan is already married, and he and his daughter-in-law are very affectionate. It's not true.

But I didn't expect that Zhao Mingfei and his group would deliberately yell in front of so many people to ruin Qi Zhan's reputation.

Yu Xuyao ​​stood up on the ground, and pointed at Zhao Mingfei angrily, "Fuck your mother, it's because your father didn't interrupt your shit last time, didn't he think it wasn't enough, and dared to provoke us."

"That's right, Zhao Mingfei, if you learn to be a gossip all day long, you won't be afraid that your father will tear your mouth apart this time!" Toast also chimed in.

Several people who had good friends with Qi Zhan stood up and talked one after another. They were the ones who had eaten the dishes cooked by Qi Zhan's wife, and they couldn't let Zhao Mingfei and the others be careless just because of those dishes.

On the contrary, Qi Zhan himself was quite silent. He pulled Yu Xuyao ​​who was closest to him and asked, "Duanxiu likes men, right?"

Seeing him like this, Yu Xuyao ​​suddenly became a little worried, "If you are told to read more than one day, you will know what kind of vixen you are looking at. Can you marry a vixen and go home or what? You wouldn't listen to us when we said these things before. Said that your mother didn't let you know too much before getting married, but now it's good, like a second fool, don't understand anything."

Qi Zhan didn't care, "What to do if you know so much about this kind of thing, anyway, I only have one daughter-in-law, so I just need to know how to get along with my wife."

He also read the book before getting married, because it was useless to change his wife into a man. Qi Zhan never thought that two men could love each other before, so he didn't think about it at all.

After all, he is already very satisfied if he can eat the dishes Tingting cooks for him every day.

Today, Qi Zhan seems to have opened the door to a new world. If he is broken sleeves and so is Ting Ting, will they be together forever.

Tingting doesn't have to leave, and he doesn't have to marry a new wife?

Qi Zhan was not at all unhappy about being scolded for cutting off his sleeves, but wanted to go to Mu Ting and tell him about it immediately.

Qi Zhan suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to ask Yu Xuyao, "If I really like men, what will you do?"

Yu Xuyao ​​hugged himself subconsciously, "Qi San, don't you have any thoughts about me?"

He shook his head quickly, "No, no, I still want to marry a wife."

Others heard their conversation, and the toast was full of puzzlement, "You talk about your sister-in-law all day long, and now you say you like men, Qi San, are you out of your mind?"

"Go!" Qi Zhan stared, "You're out of your mind, I like my wife, but there are some things that I can't tell you now, but you will know in the future."

"But don't worry, even if I like men, I don't like you. Look at all of you crooked, you can't even compare to my wife's hair. Who wants it?"

Qi Zhan offended a table of people with one word, and the few who were hurt by him immediately started a fight with Qi Zhan, asking him to change his words.

They were having fun with themselves, so they didn't have time to talk to Zhao Mingfei's table, which made it embarrassing for the few people who wanted to laugh at Qi Zhan, after all, Qi Zhan didn't talk to them at all.

Others who were waiting to see a good show were also very disappointed, thinking that they could quarrel or fight on the spot.

There is also the person who has been paying attention to Qi Zhan, the little prince Mu Guogong said, with a cold face and deep eyes, anyone can see that he is not happy.

An elegantly dressed man in white next to the little prince smiled when he saw this, "It seems that he was hit right and wrong, remind the kid of the Qi family, little prince, your enemy seems a bit difficult to deal with."

The little prince's gaze on Qi Zhan became a little colder, "It's just a useless dude, so what if you know, the Qi family will still fight against this king because of a man."

The little prince raised his hand, and slowly clenched his open hand into a fist, as if he was holding something in his palm, he said: "I can't get what this king wants."

"Man, this king wants it today!"
