"Sister Song is so awesome, everyone else couldn't do anything, I thought she was going to die for sure."

Song Qingyu was immediately surrounded. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed Song Yiyan's suspicion. He smiled timidly and said gently, "I grew up in the countryside. I'm very sorry to have stepped on your clothes. "

"We are all fine, Sister Song. "But why did the empress …"

The person who spoke was a young lady who was only fourteen years old. When she realized that she had said something wrong, she closed her mouth.

The palace maids were all apologetic. "This time, we didn't think it through, but just reported back to esteemed empress that the palace banquet is still early. Let's invite the various ladies to change into clean clothes first."

Since it was the empress's order, everyone could only obey.

Song Qingyu and the Rongqing family's Susning Su weren't affected by the incident and were left to drink tea in the outer hall. The others were invited to the inner room.

Song Qingyu could not help but glance at Su Sining a few times. Previously in such a chaotic situation, Song Qingyu had also noticed that this matter was not related to him, but the young miss of the Su Clan and the empress's niece.

The Su Family had the support of the God's Army, and was the Queen's solid support. In his previous life, Susining had indeed lived up to his expectations and became the Crown Prince's consort. Song Qingyu retracted his gaze and was not surprised that Mu Pei'er did not dare to look for trouble with Susining.

Song Yiyan's hair was a mess as she followed them. Seeing that Mu pei'er was still unconvinced, he cursed and scolded. Song Yiyan's eyebrows flashed with a sharp light. She pinched her left hand fiercely and walked up apologetically, "Sister Pi Er."

Seeing that it was Song Yiyan, Mu Pei'er remembered that she had forcefully pushed her away and ignored her.

"Sister Pyle, it wasn't me just now. "Big Sis bumped into me …" When Song Yiyan was speaking, she blinked her eyes and stopped walking, looking at her left hand in grievance.

Mu Pei'er glanced around and noticed the bruise on Song Yiyan's wrist. She felt strange and stopped.

"What's going on?"

"It's all because I wanted to help you just now and was forcefully pulled by my big sister. I really didn't want to push you, it's just that my big sister's strength was too great, with a single pull, I would have bumped into you."

Mu Pei'er was enlightened, but anger flashed past her eyes, "What is that Song Qingyu?! And it even caused me to think that it was you, clearly trying to sow discord! "

"Lil Sis Pyle, keep your voice down. Don't listen to Eldest Sis." When the fish took the bait, Song Yiyan was very happy, "Sister Pi'er, I thought you were my younger sister so I came to tell you this. My elder sister came from the country and was very rude, so we didn't dare to argue with him. Because his father felt that she was pitiful, he doted on her. As such, he could only swallow his grievances. Don't cause trouble for Big Sis, she's very skilled. "

"How preposterous, how can you let her off so easily! The more I look at her smug expression, the angrier I get! "

"The corner of Mu Pei'er's mouth lifted, as she clenched her right hand tightly, and continued," Sister Yan, don't be afraid, I will help you. "This peasant girl is only vain. If she wants to stand out, I will let her enjoy the limelight!"

"Sister Pyle, what is the meaning of this?"

"Sister Yan, you are too kind. How can I allow her to bully me? This time, I will definitely teach her a lesson for you. Didn't she bump into you? This time, I'm going to knock her back and humiliate her in front of the empress and everyone else! "

"Don't mess around. That's still my big sister. " Song Yiyan wiped her tears away and held Mu Pei'er's hand.

"You think of her as your eldest sister, but she doesn't think of you as her sister."

An hour later, everyone rushed back to the palace banquet. The original fifteen people were now split into two rows, led by Song Qingyu, Song Yiyan, and Rongqing Manor's Su Sining.

The intersecting buildings slowly disappeared. Instead of being replaced by the strange scenery, they went out from a zigzag shaped veranda and passed through the palace walls of the blue and white porcelain tiles. The front suddenly opened up.

A stone arch bridge separated the two sides. On one side was a huge palace feast, multi-colored lanterns, and a complicated red silk floor. The tables on the tables were separated from each other and arranged in an orderly manner. A few people slowly approached from one side.

At the very front of the red carpet was the palace maids, who clustered around Empress Su and the Ninth Prince, who lazily leaned against his chair.

Empress Su saw that the person in front of her was slowly approaching and was very satisfied. As expected, her niece was present. She sized them up without batting an eyelid.

When everyone saw this, they were already so envious that they were about to die from envy. They had finally managed to guess what the riddle was, but they still failed in their poetry attempts. They had clearly been invited to the banquet together, but there was someone who had won half the match at the start of the match.

Song Qingyu frowned slightly. Initially, he was trying to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that something would go wrong.

"The higher-ups have reserved a spot for the young misses." The mama that accompanied them said in a soft voice. There will be small palace maids to guide them, so do not panic. First, he had to pay his respects to the Queen, and secondly, to the Ninth Prince. When the empress said no, she immediately took a seat. No mistakes shall be made during this period of time. "

Song Qingyu also knew how many people were gathered here. Since they were chosen by the empress, the empress would definitely reward them, but if anyone made a mistake, on one hand, they would embarrass the empress, and on the other hand, the news would spread throughout the capital very quickly, making both him and his family lose face.

Everyone was extremely cautious.

Hearing this, Mu Pei'er let out a cold laugh. As she was walking up the stone bridge to the other side, Mu Pei'er suddenly stepped on Song Qingyu's skirt.

Song Qingyu's front leg was lifted, and he was pulled back by the force behind it. Song Yiyan also pretended to be oblivious as she moved closer to Song Qingyu, blocking everyone's gaze. Song Qing and Yu glanced at the lake water. The frown on their foreheads suddenly disappeared.

Song Qingyu suddenly stopped and did not move forward. Mu Pei'er, who was still stepping on Song Qingyu's skirt, did not react and charged towards Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu also pretended to be at a loss and used the momentum to throw himself into the lake.

This Mu Pei'er had helped Song Qingyu. Song Qingyu created a false image of Mu Pei'er pushing people away, even more so by throwing them into the lake and leaving the palace banquet.

Two birds with one stone!

Song Qing and Yu were happy.

Just then, two rocks hit Song Qingyu's left and right shoulder respectively. The force of the hit was so heavy that it knocked Song Qingyu back. Song Qingyu did his best to keep his balance and did not lose his composure.

However, after stabilizing herself, the mama did not notice anything amiss and urged Song Qingyu to continue moving forward.

Mu Pei'er widened her eyes as she did not understand what had just happened. It was obvious that she had run into Song Qingyu, causing her soul to be at a loss. In the blink of an eye, Song Qingyu dared to stand firmly.

Song Qingyu answered and his face turned cold. He secretly bit his lower lip and raised his eyes to look in the direction from where the stone had come. It was the ninth prince, Zuo Linyi!
