The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

Every year at the Peony Festival, there were some secret deals that were not held on the surface, but were made in the dark. These people were here to trade slaves. Buy this year's slaves from the hands of the big families and slave owners.

This was another way of putting it.

Of course, Mu Ru Yue didn't know any of this.

On top of the ancient tree altar, Qing Xun was the first to speak, "Everyone, today is the annual grand gathering of our Peony City. Our city has received the blessing of the heavens, which is why we have achieved so much."

Routine sacrifices to the heavens. This year, my Peony City has also invited the current Crown Prince and Seventh Princess to pray for our good fortune. "

Qing Xun's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started cheering. Amidst the cheers, Qing Xun placed the first incense stick into the incense burner.

A green smoke rose in the air and quickly, Qing Xun invited Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing up as well.

Mu Ru Yue placed an incense stick into Mu Rong Yue's hand. With the green smoke from the incense in her hand, Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but feel suspicious. What was going on? She had thought that this person would make a fool of her over the incense burner.

Yet, there were no problems at all?

Mu Ru Yue became suspicious and muddle-headedly placed the incense in the incense burner. When Mu Ru Yue walked down the altar, she became even more nervous. She wasn't poisoned, and the incense burner was just right for her. Could it be that this person really wanted her to join in the sacrifice as well?

But wasn't this a little too strange?

Qing Xun was not someone who would do such a useless thing.

Mu Ru Yue was filled with doubts. Very soon, Feng Qing started to burn the incense. After the three of them left the stage, the atmosphere became even more excited. It was as if everyone was very happy. And this' Rites of Heavenly Worship 'ceremony could be considered as a success.

"Everyone, now that Heaven's Sacrifice is completed, my Peony City will not disappoint you this year." Qing Xun's voice was gentle, and everyone present was cheering. Soon, these people began to disperse.

After all, the Heaven's Sacrifice Ceremony was merely a small interlude. What people were truly looking forward to in the Peony Assembly would be the same. Even the residents of Peony City, who could see the withering of peonies every year, still liked it.

That was because that scene was something that one would never be able to forget.

He didn't even feel bored.

When most of the people in the Ancient Tree District had dispersed, Qing Xun turned to Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing and said respectfully, "Thank you for your help today. I still have some matters to attend to, so I would like to invite the two esteemed guests to the Peony Gathering first."

"The mayor can go and stay by himself." Feng Qing's attitude was casual, even though he was wary of Qing Xun, he did not put his in his eyes. After all, as long as Qing Xun wasn't crazy, he would absolutely not attack him again.

What happened earlier had already attracted the attention of his father, and the capital would not make another move.

As for Qing Xun?

Since he was following orders from the capital, he wouldn't do anything stupid.

After obtaining Feng Qing's approval, Qing Xun left. Mu Ru Yue looked at Qing Xun's back and frowned as he asked, "Your Highness, what do you think this City Lord Qing Xun wants to do?"

"Presumably, they are planning to decorate the peace. If we do not decorate the peace in this Peony City now, I'm afraid that it will become chaotic." Feng Qing said.

When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she came back to reality. He was talking about the current situation of Peony City, but she … What she cared more about was how this person was going to kill her. Other people might not understand Qing Xun, but she did. Since this person had already decided to make a move, he definitely wouldn't give up.

Furthermore, she would be caught off guard and everything would come to fruition, killing her in the end.

Qing Xun was that kind of person.

But right now, she hadn't even seen Qing Xun do anything, which made it hard for people to understand.

Of course, what Mu Ru Yue was thinking was something that Feng Qing didn't know. After all, Feng Qing didn't see the scene in the underground palace that day, so he didn't know what would happen next. Mu Ru Yue didn't plan to let him know either.

She didn't want to owe him any more favors.

Mu Ru Yue thought for a moment before replying, "Perhaps it's really as Your Highness said. He's probably adorning the peace. Your Highness, are we going to the Peony Gathering now? " Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing and asked.

Feng Qing thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."

With Feng Qing's consent, Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing got into the carriage together.

At this moment, the Ancient Tree District was very quiet. Inside the carriage, Feng Qing's gaze fell on the tree outside the window. Yesterday, he had seen an ancient tree blossom together with her, causing him to feel uneasy. Did he say … Would they really have a future?

Feng Qing was very curious. However, most of them were filled with anticipation.

The two of them did not say anything along the way. Mu Ru Yue kept her eyes closed as she tried to think of what to do. Feng Qing, on the other hand, was reading a book.

Soon, the carriage stopped in the middle of Peony City, near the garden area. The carriage stopped a little distance away from where they were. However, they were unable to continue forward. This was because the only people around them were the carriages that had been parked.

His appearance was not inferior to any of the festivals that were held in the capital.

Mu Ru Yue remembered that the last time she faced such a situation, it should be due to the reopening of the Yellow Forest Temple. The Imperial Advisor, You Jing, as well as the capital's Festival. Even the Imperial Family valued the Festival, so of course the Imperial Family would pay attention to it.

How rare.

It was also the first time that Mu Ru Yue became extremely curious about the peony withering event. She truly wanted to see exactly how enchanting this grand feast of peonies was that so many people would love it.

Year after year, even. It was enough to make the residents of Peony City feel proud.

After getting off the carriage and walking into the crowd, Mu Ru Yue could hear the local residents introducing the peony to many guests. The pride in his words was hard to conceal.

As Mu Ru Yue listened, she walked into the crowd and looked around.

They were still on the outskirts of the Peony Meeting.

The center of the Peony Gathering was the Peony Garden. However, it was still a few thousand meters away from the garden. However, the place was already crowded.

"What is A'Yue looking for?" The man's voice sounded from the side.

The sound of Ah Yue's voice made Murong Yue's heart skip a beat. She suddenly turned her head and saw Feng Qing looking at her with a puzzled expression. Mu Ru Yue's heart also calmed down. At that moment, she thought she had seen phoenix seep.

Thinking that, Mu Ru Yue cursed silently. It was all because of that scumbag Feng Chen that she vomited blood yesterday. That was why she was so distracted.

However, Mu Ru Yue didn't hesitate as she said, "I'm looking for Young Master Jun."

"No need to search. He will soon appear in front of you." Feng Qing said.

"Huh?" Mu Ru Yue looked at Feng Qing in confusion. Feng Qing continued, "That person, Jun Ruo, always did things in a neat and orderly manner. When I saw him three years ago, he was just like that.

Therefore, he won't want you to find him. He will only appear before you at the most appropriate time and ask you to do something for him. It's like they're using a doll. "

Feng Qing said calmly.
