Li Feng heard that his mother was implying Qiao Qiao, and he had no guilt at all: "My son confessed to her mother at that time. I do like that girl. I don't deny this, but I never imagined that she would marry her in the future."

The princess's eyes stagnated: "So, you just treat her more deeply than friendship?"

Li Feng could tell clearly: "It is better to say that the son-in-law likes her as unrestrained and carefree as she is."

The princess was silent. It turned out that her son had already made long-term considerations. He probably didn't want to use marriage to bind the girl's nature. From the very beginning, he knew that liking does not mean love, and love between men and women should be based on suitability.

Li Feng stared at his mother, depressed and gentle: "But I understand in my heart that there are some things that I can think of, but I can't really do. That night, Erchen was too repulsive about political marriage, was not mature enough, and was frivolous in his words, which made his mother misunderstand."

"Then are you mature in thinking now?"

"Mother, isn't it a marriage between the son and the princess? Isn't it a good thing for you, the father, and the royal family? Why are you questioning me now?"

The princess had no choice but to smile a little bleak: "Yes... that is the interests that both families pursue, but now the mother wants to hear your voice."

Li Feng lowered his head because his mother suddenly held his hand.

"Li Feng, you really know the little princess, and want her to be your wife?"

Her palms were very warm, Li Feng raised his eyes calmly, and there was a reflection of starlight in his eyes.

"yes."

The princess' lips were opened dullly for a while: "Are you really interested in the little princess?"

Faced with his mother's blunt question, Li Feng's cheeks burned and he unconsciously lowered his head.

"Mother, I think I have answered you more than once. I will not regret this marriage." He held his mother's hand, but his eyes had nowhere to rest. "Everything that my son said was serious."

Although he did not admit it directly, the princess knew that he had fallen into it when she saw his expression.

Love can make people feel inferior, so he can admit his love for other girls so openly, and only by treating the beloved woman can he have such an unnatural reaction.

The princess knew what he was thinking, nodded, patted his hand symbolically, and decided to rot some words in her stomach.

Since the little princess is her son's choice, the princess will not stop him, but as a mother's selfishness makes her unable to let it go. She wants to clear all obstacles for her son.

The next day, Princess Mu was dressed in the palace and personally greeted Concubine Saki. Concubine Saki didn't know her intention and thought she wanted to talk about her children's engagement banquet and wedding, so she happily invited the princess to have lunch together.

When the palace maids placed dishes and tableware, Princess Mu hid an extra chopstick while the person was unprepared. When everything was ready, the palace maid stepped back and stood aside to serve. The princess secretly took out the chopstick and placed it on the white porcelain chopstick pillow.

Then she made a gesture to look at the table full of delicacies, raised her head, smiled and said to the main seat: "The imperial chef made by the imperial chef is exquisite, and it looks mouth-watering."

Concubine Saki didn't pay attention to her little movements and smiled kindly: "Since I and the princess are in-laws, they are my own people. The princess can eat whatever she wants, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Empress." The princess withdrew her gaze and pretended to be surprised, "Huh? Why did I have one more chopstick?"

Concubine Saki looked at it strangely, and saw the princess holding three chopsticks in her hand and was looking at it interestingly. Concubine Saki immediately scolded the palace maid beside her: "Qiaorong, it must be because you were negligent just now. What's the point of putting three chopsticks?"

Qiaorong quickly bowed and accused him of guilt, and was very puzzled.

Princess Mu smiled: "What the Empress said is that chopsticks should be paired in pairs, and if one extra piece is added, it will appear out of place."

Concubine Saki looked at her, and the curve gradually appeared on the corners of her lips: "The princess seems to have some meaning?"

Princess Mu put down her chopsticks and sat upright slightly. "I heard some rumors in the city a few days ago. It was nothing. It would be fine to listen to it, but it was related to the reputation of the little princess, and I was not afraid of asking for overbearing words." She said without pain, with a smile on her eyes, "Does my son Lifeng have a rival in love?"

Concubine Saki was cheered up and said with a smile: "Youmeng is waiting for marriage with the prince, how could there be such absurd rumors?"

When Princess Mu came, she had already made a preset in her heart. Today, she had to stop indirectly and had to save face for Concubine Saki and the little princess. So she asked herself to go to the steps and said, "Maybe the little princess has made good relationships and has many friends of the opposite sex around her. Usually, when she walks together, she is caught by villains and spreads rumors. But after all, the two children are now engaged and the wedding date is approaching, and no one wants to have an unnecessary storm, right? "

Concubine Saki knew it and smiled gracefully: "Don't worry, Princess, I will not ignore this matter."

"Then Immortal Lady will be very troublesome." After speaking, Princess Mu had a meal safely.

After dinner, Princess Mu was sent away, and Concubine Saki's face sank into a terrible gloom.

Aunt Xin Yi served tea and whispered carefully: "Empress, it seems that Princess Mu has believed the rumors and wants to ask you for an explanation."

Concubine Saki closed her eyes and rubbed her eyebrows, revealing her fatigue: "Youmeng must have not been cleaned with that musician."

She complained to Youmeng that this uneasy child had all the gossips to Princess Mu's ears, and I don't know if Princess Mu had talked about this with the prince.

Xin Yi felt sorry for her mother, and had to remind her: "The Empress must be cautious in handling this matter. Although she has to explain it to the royal palace, it cannot be too difficult for the little princess. After all, the wedding date with the prince of the Southern Kingdom is approaching. If you force the princess to be anxious at this critical moment, with the princess's temperament, it is probably a bigger disaster..."

"It's not just Youmeng's problem." Concubine Saki opened her eyes and waved her hand to block Xin Yi's hands that wanted to reach out to rub her head. "There are those who are determined to blow the wind into Princess Mu's ears and deliberately destroy the marriage. The ones that cannot be let go at the moment."

Xin Yi lowered his head and proposed: "Empress, I will ask Huai Lu to check it out."

"Please take action by Chunling."

Concubine Saki's words were unexpected, and Xin Yi looked hesitant. Concubine Saki continued: "He has a wide connection in Luoyang, so it is easier to find out, and he must be concerned about Youmeng."

Before, the Hu mother and daughter spread satirical poems in the city, so Feng Qiwu found out that Concubine Saki knew that although the man was wandering, he was extremely protective and favored Youmeng. Why not join forces?

"I will write a letter from the queen of the palace and ask Huailu to send it to Feng Mansion and borrow Chunlingjun's hand. I want to see who is behind the scenes." Concubine Saki's sneered eyes gradually became vicious.

"promise."

On the fifteenth of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival feast was decorated with luxurious atmosphere early on. It was endless to see amber wine, jade cups, golden foot bottles, jade plates, and delicious foods were all over the place, and they were painted into a painting.

The palace was full of powerful people, both to celebrate the festival and to celebrate the engagement ceremony between the little princess and the prince of the Southern Kingdom.

The chimes and silk and bamboo play a sound of elegant music, which is a beautiful scenery, with beautiful flowers and full moon.

Lifeng was covered with the fragrance of flowers and the moonlight, and slowly stepped onto the steps of the corridor. He saw Youmeng standing in the pavilion, standing next to a dessert table, with fragrant tea and various pastries on the table, and a bottle of gold fountain placed in the center, which was flowing with sweet wine that was not strong in concentration, suitable for women to drink.

She was wearing a rose-red dark gold star-shattered palace outfit, and a little starlight shone on her body as the light and shadow changed, as beautiful as a dream.

She turned her face, passed her eyes over, looked at Li Feng and showed her joy: "The prince is here just right, I have something to give to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Feng's palm was stuffed with something. He looked down and saw that it was a round red persimmon with two funny faces on it. One seemed to be smirking and the other frowned.

"Do you look like you?"

He looked up and met the dream of smiling eyes like stars and moon.

He was slightly embarrassed and wanted to say that he didn't look like him at all. At least he wouldn't be so stupid, right?

But he did not really deny it, but casually turned the persimmon with his palm, and said in a playful tone: "This is the engagement gift given to me by the princess?"

Youmeng thought it was interesting, so she deliberately said arrogantly: "Yes, how cute is it when you touch it and eat it sweetly?"

Li Feng laughed in his heart, took it away, pretending to be a faint disappointment: "Okay."

Youmeng thought he took it seriously and was about to tell him that the gift he prepared was not this, but she was just making fun of it. At this time, Princess Mu came over and the two had to stop playing and salute in a regular manner.

"Mother's wife."

"The princess is in good health."

The princess smiled knowingly and looked gentle: "Lifeng, Mother wants to lend your fiancée for a moment, don't you mind?"

Youmeng's smile was slightly calm. Li Feng looked at her very briefly, and then looked back at Princess Mu: "Why does Mother's words mean strange?"

The princess did not answer him, but turned around and looked at Youmeng with a smile: "Little princess, I heard that there are a few trees of fairy-quality osmanthus flowers in the Royal Garden. Can you accompany me to enjoy the flowers and take a walk? I have something to talk to you, so we, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will not bring any of us."

Youmeng was stunned for a moment and smiled again: "Okay, please, princess."

When the princess passed by Li Feng, she said to him in a low voice: "You can go find a place to spend time on your own, and then you will be given a chance to get close to you."

Li Feng felt embarrassed and his mother comforted him like this. Could it be that she was afraid that he would feel resentful and blamed her for suddenly coming in and lighting the lights, which ruined the good things of both of them.

Youmeng secretly glanced at the mother and son, full of doubts.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◆◇◆

The moonlight was bright and the quiet path was covered with silver. Youmeng walked side by side with Princess Mu, gently holding the princess' arms and walking slowly with her.
