Mo Xuetong woke up rather early. However, it took some time for Mo Lan and the others to do her hair and makeup. When Mo Xuetong left, it was the peak period to enter the palace. Carriages after carriages drove through the palace gates in an orderly manner. Then, they drove onto the wide and neat road slowly. There were no other sounds but the crisp sounds of horse hooves. Those who came were all from noble families. They had a strict upbringing and were in the palace. As such, they all behaved demurely and did not dare to speak loudly. If they embarrassed themselves here, it would not only be themselves they are embarrassing. Their family members might even lose their lives. When they arrived at the location, they got off the carriage and onto a palanquin. They were then carried to the royal gardens. The flower appreciation festival was held at the southeastern area of the royal gardens. There was an autumn garden there where the blooms were all autumn b

The moment she said that, it immediately erased the suspicion that she was trying to frame her younger sister that Ling Mingyan had implied. Those who were a little suspicious before could not help but praise Mo Xuemin for being gentle and gracious. She was an outstanding woman unlike Ling Mingyan who was arrogant, rude and spoke without thinking. Many ignored what Ling Mingyan said about Mo Xuemin. With Ling Mingyan's reputation, people naturally believed in First Miss Mo who had always been polite and talented. Compared to the dumb, arrogant and rude Ling Mingyan, Mo Xuemin who was always gentle and smiling was much more well-liked. "I heard that that third sister of yours is rude and arrogant. She knocked into someone the moment she got into the city gates. There are so many people at the city gates, but she didn't even care about them and rushed in. Is this the behavior a noble young woman should display?" Ling Mingyan had always had a g

The banquet was held within the imperial gardens. Perhaps most of the crowd had already gone over, so there was not any whispering like just now. All that was left was the autumn scenery and the blooming flowers of the maple trees. It was beautiful! The scent of the osmanthus flowers drifted in the wind, making one feel refreshed. She stood under the osmanthus tree and raised her head, taking a deep breath. A sweet refreshing scent filled her nose. Even the air smelt fresh. The breeze blew across, casing a few flowers to fall off the tree and onto her beautiful, porcelain-like face. Her face looked clean and flawless. Her long lashes fluttered. The flowers slid off her face slowly. Her pink lips tugged upwards gently. She was in a rather good mood! Mo Xuetong had been embarrassed today! The First Miss Mo who had always pretended to be gentle and elegant had been utterly embarrassed today. Many would begin to doubt First Miss Mo, who was know

All of them were startled by the sound of drumming. They glowered at the man who disturbed Bai Yihao's elegant piano music. They only realized it was King Xuan playing a prank when they saw the lazy and charming smile on his handsome face. They thought about how King Xuan was very much favored by Emperor Zongwen and did not dare to say much. Their angry stares turned into kind smiles instead. The situation in the palace now was very much different from before. No one dared to offend King Xuan because he was the son Emperor Zongwen doted on the most. There were only two princes who were of age by Emperor Zongwen's side in the past. The eldest prince was King Chu, Feng Yuxuan and third prince, King Yan, Feng Yulei. They were the only two who had the ability to compete for the throne. King Chu's mother was Concubine Su. She was the only person who was comparable to the Empress. Even though her maternal family were not from the Fou

Feng Yuran stood up, his purple robe with gold collars shimmered. He spoke with the two eunuchs beside him with a smile and turned to walk away. The two eunuchs walked away in a different direction. If one looked carefully, the would notice that he was heading in the direction where Mo Xuemin went earlier. This was the first time Mo Xuemin was seeing the elegant and gentle King Chu up close. His warm dark eyes looked as if they were smiling, making one feel as if they were bathed in the spring wind. He looked very friendly. Mo Xuemin keenly sensed that King Chu treated her differently from the others. His eyes would sweep past the flower racks and the pots of flowers. Even though it did not look as if he was doing it intentionally, his gaze would stop on her for a few more moments. This discovery had pleased Mo Xuemin greatly. She was excited and her heart beat quickly. She sat there and tried her best to show off how gentle and delicate she
