Commandery Princess Yi’an was beaming with delight.

  Evidently, this laughable commandery princess completely treated the group of people beside the crown prince as background scenery!

  “Ah, it is His Highness. His Highness the Crown Prince is also here.” Miss Lu, Xu Mingzhu, and the bunch of young ladies also gazed over excitedly with blushing faces.

  The Vassal Prince of An’nan let out a hearty laugh and was the first to walk up and cup his fists in greeting. “Greetings to Your Highness. Your Highness is on an outing with the crown prince consort? Ah, the twelfth prince is also here. Brother Guangyun, everyone, excuse me for my lack of manners.”


  Mo Lian reflexively swept him a glance before giving him an indifferent nod.

  Shi Guangyun and the others stood up to exchange greetings, as well.

  Meanwhile, Darling Qiao, Senior Sister Liang, and Duan Yue didn’t move their behinds as they continued to eat while sitting calmly.

  There was already a nice selection of wild game on the platter. Simultaneously, several larger pieces of rabbit meat were rotating on the spit. Grease was crackling on its surface, wafting over an aromatic fragrance.

  The Vassal Prince of An’nan’s party had walked for an entire morning, and it was already nearing noon. Their eyes involuntarily zoned in on the food roasting on the spit.

  This was way too sumptuous. Besides pork, beef, mutton, and other kinds of meat used for roasting, the crown prince’s party also prepared various fruits and vegetables.

  But…… they had already waited for half the day.

  Qiao Mu discovered that the flock of damsels were staring at her with very weird gazes.

  How would she know that they were waiting for her to invite them to eat!

  Her status was the most noble out of all the girls there. As long as she invited them, the other people would certainly have no objections.

  The eighth princess, Mo You, was about to go crazy from stifling her laughter.

  According to her interaction with Qiao Mu.

  This group of people were probably going to get left out in the cold……

  The amusement on Mo You’s face was infinitely magnified.

  Qiao Mu swept her glance over the group of women and then picked up a carrot, stuffing it in the little monk’s hands.

  She herself calmly picked up half a rabbit drumstick as she urged Mo You and them, “Eat while it’s hot, don’t waste it.”


  “Benefactress, try the roasted mushroom. It’s delicious!”


  “Do you want to mix in some mincemeat and make a mincemeat with mushroom dish? It’s very fragrant.” Qiao Mu blinked her eyes as she attempted to hoodwink him.

  “No!!” The little monk cried in a huff, “This young monk is vegetarian.”


  Liang Qingqing couldn’t resist rubbing his tiny bald head when she saw how adorable he was being. “Little monk, how about you resume secular life!”


  “Nonsense!” The little monk spread his tiny hands and struggled to push away Liang Qingqing’s palm. “Why should this young monk resume secular life?”


  “If you don’t resume secular life how can you marry a wife?” Liang Qingqing teased, “Quickly resume secular life so that you can marry a wife when you grow up.”


  When he heard this, the little monk thoughtfully raised his head. But before he could ask “could I marry Benefactress,” Mo Lian stuffed his mouth with a carrot. “Don’t, you had better continue being a monk.”


  When the Vassal Prince of An’nan and his group saw that they were ignoring them completely, they could not help but find it embarrassing.

  Meanwhile, the commandery princess’s gaze flickered. Just as she was about to walk forward, a masked man in gray clothes suddenly appeared before her, slashing at her with a saber.

  “Watch out, Commandery Princess!”
