Caught red - handed by Yun Li, Liu Rumei still wore a smile on her face. "Those who understand me are like Yun Li!"
A shy smile flashed across Yun Li's face. She led the group around the capital for a couple of rounds, and then they returned to the Prince Guoan's Mansion aimlessly.
Thankfully, without Yun Xi's instigation, the dispute between A Nan and Xue Zhan had been settled early.
However, to Liu Rumei's surprise, although she didn't want to go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to congratulate on the birthday, the people from there came to invite her.
Looking at the invitation card in Uncle Zhang's hand, Liu Rumei was slightly stunned. "What's this?"
"Just now, someone from the Marshal's Mansion came and said that the princess must go to the birthday banquet tomorrow." They didn't know what the Marshal's Mansion was up to, but Uncle Zhang wasn't overly worried. After all, the prince would also go tomorrow.
Yun Xi took the invitation card from Uncle Zhang. "They never come without a reason. They must have bad intentions!"
Yun Li also stood beside and nodded in agreement. Her elder sister had no connection with the Marshal's Mansion at all, yet they came to invite her. Their evil intentions were obvious.
Liu Rumei shook her head helplessly. "Thank you, Uncle Zhang."
It seemed that she had to go to the Marshal's Mansion no matter what.
That night, when Mo Liandi came back and heard about this, he immediately frowned slightly and said to Liu Rumei, "If you don't want to go, it's okay not to go!"
Anyway, there were always the same old things in the Marshal's Mansion!
Although he didn't understand why they wanted to invite Liu Rumei, as long as he was around, she could do as she pleased.
Liu Rumei felt a warm current in her heart and said with a gentle smile, "It's okay. I've been idle recently. It's good to go and take a look."
Seeing this, Mo Liandi didn't say anything more. As long as he was around, he would never let her suffer.
The night grew dim, and a cool breeze blew.
Liu Rumei was dressed in a smoke - colored silk dress and stepped out of the room. The pale moonlight shone on her, making her look like an immortal under the moon flying away on the wind in the first lunar month.
Mo Liandi's heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and accurately held her soft hand.
Yun Xi and his brother were lying at the door eagerly, but they had to stay.
Sixi, dressed in a green robe, followed behind Liu Rumei.
When they arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, it was already the end of the Xu hour. The night was getting darker, and only a faint moonlight scattered down.
The Grand Marshal held military power. After Long Fei's downfall, the Marshal's Mansion had reaped a lot.
Now, there were a continuous stream of officials coming and going outside the mansion. When they saw the carriage of the Prince Guoan's Mansion stop, they all stopped in their tracks.
When they saw Mo Liandi get out of the carriage, they were about to step forward to pay their respects, but then they saw Mo Liandi stretch his hand into the carriage.
The next moment, a peerless beauty appeared in everyone's sight.
They couldn't help but secretly wonder if the title of Princess Guoan would really fall on Liu Rumei.
"Your subject pays respects to the prince and Miss Liu!"
"Prince, Miss Liu, long time no see!"
"Pays respects to the prince..."
"..."
Everyone had different thoughts. Liu Rumei did have some abilities! She was indeed worthy of the Prince Guoan.
However, everyone knew what the Prince Guoan represented. How could they be willing to let go of such a "fat piece of meat"?
Which man in this world didn't have concubines? They would wait and see!
Knowing that Liu Rumei was not good at greeting them, Mo Liandi just nodded indifferently to everyone, and then led Liu Rumei into the Marshal's Mansion.
Who would have thought that just as they stepped in, the lazy voice of Xue Zhan came from behind. "Wait for this young master!"
Liu Rumei turned around and saw Xue Zhan, who looked dusty and gritted his teeth. A look of surprise flashed across her eyes. "Lord Xue?"
Wasn't he determined never to come here?
As if seeing what was on Liu Rumei's mind, Xue Zhan said with a gloomy face, "They actually use such despicable means!"
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned and looked at Mo Liandi beside her with a questioning look in her eyes.
Mo Liandi seemed to think of something and shook his head imperceptibly at Liu Rumei.
Liu Rumei knew that this was probably Xue Zhan's private matter, so she didn't say much.
The three of them walked in together, attracting a lot of attention.
Liu Rumei felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to find a quiet place to sit.
Mo Liandi winked at Sixi. Sixi immediately understood and led Liu Rumei to a quiet corner to sit down, but still within Mo Liandi's sight.
Xue Zhan stayed beside Mo Liandi for a while and then disappeared. No one knew where he had gone.
Soon, Mo Liandi was surrounded by a group of officials.
Liu Rumei sighed slightly. She was extremely bored.
Sixi also felt it was boring and whispered, "Miss Liu, why don't we sit for a while and then go back?"
Anyway, with the prince around, no one would say anything.
Liu Rumei nodded with a smile and made up her mind to leave after the birthday congratulations.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly blocked her sight. She frowned slightly and slightly raised her eyes, only to see Ning Yan'er's smiling eyes. "Miss Liu."
Seeing Ning Yan'er, Liu Rumei couldn't help but sigh slightly. This woman was really persistent.
"Does Miss Liu mind if I sit down?"
As the saying goes, one should not strike a smiling face. Liu Rumei couldn't refuse, so she just nodded indifferently. "Your Highness, feel free."
Sixi behind her pouted, with a look of displeasure in her eyes. Why did the Princess Anning keep pestering them? She was really annoying.
As soon as the Princess Anning sat down, the eyes of many people in the courtyard shifted over. They looked at the two women thoughtfully.
Everyone knew that the Princess Anning had feelings for the Prince Guoan. However, the prince was obviously in Liu Rumei's hands. These two women were like rivals in love, but they were sitting together so harmoniously. It was really surprising.
Mo Liandi also noticed this scene and immediately frowned slightly, but soon his sight was blocked by the Marquis Huaiyuan.
A look of impatience flashed across Mo Liandi's eyes, but he didn't dare to show it.
Ning Yan'er seemed to be a close friend of Liu Rumei and talked merrily.
In the eyes of outsiders, they seemed to be chatting very happily.
Just then, a soft voice suddenly sounded in her ear. "You are Liu Rumei?"
Liu Rumei was slightly stunned. She looked up at the woman in a white dress in front of her, full of confusion in her eyes. "Who are you?"
She was sure that she had never seen this woman before, but there was hostility in her eyes.
Ning Yan'er's face lit up. "Jiajia, when did you come back? You didn't even send someone to tell me!"
Liu Rumei couldn't help but frown. Jiajia? Who was this?
Sixi behind her quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Liu, this is the eldest miss of the Marshal's Mansion, Xue Jingjia. She was observing mourning for her mother and just returned after the mourning period recently."
