Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 109: Lord Is Very Overbearing (1)

After accepting Qin Yiyao’s invitation, Mu Qingge never thought there was any inherent connection between hunting and flower viewing.

It wasn’t until the agreed day arrived, and she entered the Royal Hunting Ground with Shao Fatty and Bai Xiyue following Qin Yiyao, that she understood why these seemingly unrelated events were combined.

It turns out, within the Royal Hunting Ground, there is a Palace Inner Courtyard.

This season is just the right time for the palace’s Inner Courtyard to be adorned in splendid floral beauty, with blossoms competing for attention.

Every year, Qin Country holds such a Hunting Flower Festival. Invited noblewomen and girls stay in the palace to admire the flowers, while royal men and sons of the aristocratic families compete in the hunting ground.

The Mu Family, long depleted of its members.

The only female, being Mu Lianrong, the eldest lady of Duke Yongning Mansion.

Yet, with her robust character, how could she participate in such a dull gathering of floral critiques? Listening to the family trivialities of others, and inner courtyard gossip?

As for Mu Qingge, the heir to the title, she’s nothing but a playboy, unable to cultivate. The competition on the hunting ground would be nothing but self-inflicted humiliation for her, so she was never invited nor did she ever participate in such gatherings in previous years.

This time, the Hosting of the Hunting Flower Festival was originally the favored Concubine Jiang, but due to Prince Rui’s incident, it was switched to the Empress. Correspondingly, the Crown Prince Qin Jinxiu presides over the Hunting Ground.

Mu Qingge didn’t know how many handkerchiefs Concubine Jiang shredded in the deep palace due to this, but upon entering the hunting ground, she only saw a bustling scene.

"We first go to the palace to pay respects to the Empress; after that, you can choose to stay or leave as you wish." Before entering the palace, Qin Yiyao suddenly said.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, her eyes unconsciously glancing at Shao Fatty, who was eagerly following behind, and Bai Xiyue, who was equally captivated by everything here, then turned her gaze to Qin Yiyao: "Today I’m just here to go through the motions with you?"

Embarrassment flitted across Qin Yiyao’s face; Mu Qingge’s candidness was somewhat unsettling. "I don’t particularly like this kind of occasion myself, even if you decline the invitation, I’ll just make a greeting and look for an opportunity to leave."

"If that’s the case, why insist on having me here?" Mu Qingge paused.

Qin Yiyao smiled wryly, looking at her with a trace of wistfulness: "Do you still not understand?"

Understand what? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Mu Qingge froze.

With a change of thought, she really did understand. Not to mention Qin Yiyao’s true purpose for calling her, there was likely pressure from the Empress Dowager as well.

Additionally, it’s said that the Empress and Concubine Jiang constantly engaged in overt and covert battles, and Qin Yiyao, as Concubine Jiang’s biological daughter, surely faced difficulties at the Empress’s place.

For such gatherings, being a prospective bride, if she attended alone, it might spark idle gossip. Besides, Qin Yiyao was born beautiful, with a cold and aloof demeanor that kept people at a distance like an icy lotus on snowy mountains. To many men, such a woman poses a tempting allure, naturally attracting admirers. If any bold ones confessed to her and she rejected them, spreading to the Empress could portray her as improper, tarnishing her virtue.

What use are Qin Yiyao’s talents?

As long as she’s not the Empress’s biological daughter, she’s equally subject to suppression, viewed by the Eastern Palace as a pawn to attack Concubine Jiang and Prince Rui’s faction.

And for this gathering, as a Princess, Qin Yiyao cannot miss it.

Since it’s a traditional event hosted by the Empress. Not attending would be a slight to the Empress, wouldn’t it?

Therefore, after much deliberation, it was likely that calling Mu Qingge, the Emperor’s designated fiancé, here was the way to quell the situation and avoid trouble.
