Chapter 62 is tracking the scent of fragrance

Li Xiaoxiao chuckled and handed a flower he picked from the garden to Mu Qingge: "I said that because I know Miss Mu is exceptionally intelligent and can certainly understand my meaning."
"Didn't Miss Mu perform wonderfully just now? Her performance was a delightful surprise to me. In my mind, Miss Mu is not at all related to the word 'stupid'."
Mu Qing Ge did not take the flower offered to her, but held it in her hand and examined it closely: "I also think that I am quite clever."
"For example, right now, I can tell that the word picked by the prince is a rare variety called the Su Guan He Ding, which is highly valued within the orchid community."
"There are only a few of these plants in this area, conveniently placed at the edge, most likely arranged by the Queen Dowager to be admired by guests passing by. However, the Prince Ning took a liking to them and picked them."
"I dare not accept this flower, otherwise even if I had ten mouths, I'm afraid I couldn't explain it clearly."
Li Xiao listened to Mu Qingge saying this, and just lowered his head to look firmly at the flower in his hand: "Is this a valuable flower?"
Mu Qingge only smiled and did not speak.
Li Xiao clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder I thought this one looked the best in this area, like a lotus, but it's not growing in the water. When I saw this flower, I thought, flowers match beautiful women, and this flower is just perfect for Miss Mu."
"What should we do? They have already picked them all," Lì Xiāo sighed, looking very upset.
Mù Qīngē also copied Lì Xiāo's expression and sighed: "Yes, what should we do? Your highness, you picked them all. I think I should protect myself and stay away from you. If anyone sees us, I can say that it has nothing to do with me."
Lixiao raised his eyes and looked at Muqingge, then couldn't help but laugh.
He certainly knew that Muqingge rarely acted so lively because he had sensed that after meeting XiaQinglin, he was not very happy, so he deliberately amused him.
Lì Xiāo's mouth curled up slightly. Mù Qīngē was indeed sensitive and kind-hearted.
He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had met Mù Qīngē at the Princess's residence before.
And he found the Mu Mansion, but couldn't really bring himself to kill Mu Qingge after recognizing her.
Otherwise, he would never have met someone as interesting as her.
"Do you think if I started pretending to be sick right now, I could escape this ordeal?"
Mo Qingge laughed and said, "Your Highness can try."
Lì Xiāo actually pondered carefully for a while before sighing, "I thought about it and decided to forget it. It's not the right time, there aren't enough people watching, and it wouldn't be interesting to sing."
"Let's go. I will bring this evidence to apologize to the Wangfei. I hope she can forgive me because I have prepared a gift for her today."
Mu Qingge laughed and followed Li Xiao through the front garden, walking along the lakeside corridor of the Prince's Mansion for a while until they saw a pavilion bridge not far away, connecting to the small island in the middle of the lake.
"Prince Ning, Miss Mu," a servant of Duke Ding's mansion greeted them, "The Queen is on the island in the center of the lake. Please follow me."
Prince Ning and Mu Qingge followed the servant across the bridge and onto the island. The first thing they saw were the artificial mountains, but as they passed through them, the scenery opened up to reveal a hidden paradise. Before them was a peach blossom forest, with trees blooming on either side. In the distance, countless pavilions and bridges extended across the lake in a semi-circular pattern. At the center of the lake, a large platform had been erected, where dancers were performing.
Seated in those pavilions, one could enjoy the music and dance on the stage from a distance.
Mu Qingge rarely attended such banquets before and seldom visited others' mansions. In her previous life, the most luxurious and beautiful mansion she had ever seen was the Duke of Ding'an's mansion. Now, seeing such a beautiful scenery in the Prince of Ding's mansion, she couldn't help but marvel, "It's so beautiful."
Li Xiaoyun frowned at the words: "Do you like this?"
"It looks beautiful to me. I have never seen anything like it before. There must be dozens of these pavilions. It looks particularly majestic. It would probably look even better if viewed from the other side of the lake."
Lì Xiāo carefully considered for a moment: "Actually, the Prince Ning's Mansion also has a pretty big lake and a lake island. If we want to make it like this, it's not impossible."
"Huh?" Mù Qīngē was puzzled. The Prince Ning's Mansion? Also needs to be renovated like this?
"In the Ningwang Mansion, there is not only a lake, but also a small hill on the lake island. On the hill, there is a Moon-viewing Pavilion which is at a relatively high altitude and overlooks the entire Dingwang Mansion. The entire lake island can be built with such small pavilions. If viewed from the Moon-viewing Pavilion, it should be particularly spectacular and one can also appreciate the moon."
Li Xiao turned his head and asked Mu Qingge, "Do you like that kind of thing?"
"..." Mu Qingge blinked, feeling confused. "Like... like what?"
"Alright, I'll go talk to the butler about it," Li Xiao said.
Mu Qingge still looked a little confused, but what does it have to do with her whether the Ning Wang Mansion is renovated or not? Why ask her if she likes it or not?
However, Li Xiaoyao seemed to have ended the topic completely and walked quickly to the front, saying, "I saw the Ding Wang Fei, I'll take you there."
Li Xiaodai brought Mu Qingge to the center and walked towards the highest and largest upper pavilion that extended the furthest onto the lake. The pavilion was arranged in a semicircle with more than ten benches, which were already filled with people.
"Prince Ning and Miss Mu are here."
A maid reminded the woman sitting in the middle, and she turned her head to look at Prince Ning and Mu Qingge.
The woman was wearing a golden red brocade dress and a six-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head. She looked to be in her thirties and was dressed elegantly.
一见着两人，那妇人就朝着两人招了招手：“怎么这么晚了才来？快过来。”
这应该就是定王妃了。
果然，宁王很快就笑着走了过去：“我犯了点小错，有点担心大嫂你生我的气，不敢过来。”
"What nonsense are you talking about? What have you done? This must be Miss Mu, right? The Crown Prince mentioned you before, and it's better to meet you in person. You are indeed a very beautiful woman."
Mu Qingge quickly approached and presented the greeting gift prepared by Mu Changyun to the Queen Dowager: "Presenting a greeting gift to Queen Dowager on her birthday, wishing her a happy and healthy life every year."
The Queen Dowager smiled and accepted the gift, then grabbed Mu Qingge's hand: "Good child, come sit by my side."
Mu Qingge was pulled to the side of the Queen by the title of the Prince's Consort, but someone said, "Mother, you are really biased. I am your son, and I was supposed to sit next to you. As soon as the Third Prince takes a seat, I immediately have no place to sit."
Mu Qingge's godly demeanor suddenly stiffened as she looked towards the person speaking. This scent...
Isn't it the scent of her tracking fragrance?
