The head of the Mu family

Chapter 147 Huai Sheng is a soft steel plate

No one spoke to Huaisheng; Huaisheng sat alone and did not engage in conversation with anyone.

Seeing a book on the antique shelf next to him, he picked it up and sat down to read it.

A moment later, a maid came to report:

"Your Highness, the banquet is ready."

The princess immediately smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, since we are all family today, there are no need for so many formalities."

A little while later, I had dinner with the prince and the children of the household in the dining hall. I had the servants put up a screen so it would be easier to talk.

Everyone agreed. While the princess was speaking, Huaisheng put the book back where it was and waited quietly by her side.

The princess then led the ladies and young ladies to the dining hall, where the regent, Qianyan, the crown prince, and the young masters had already arrived.

The ladies and young women greeted him, and Huaisheng, standing at the very back, also bowed.

As I passed by Qianyan, I gave her a sly look:

Peace of mind!

Qianyan returned a look that was both doting and helpless.

The ladies were seated at one table, and the young ladies at another.

The young ladies were all seventeen or eighteen years old, each dressed in a stunningly beautiful manner, a dazzling array of shapes and sizes that left the young man somewhat overwhelmed.

Mu Huaisheng: How could I miss such a delightful sight as seeing a beautiful woman?

Princess: As expected of a country bumpkin, she's not presentable!

She was exchanging flirtatious glances with Yao'er as soon as she came in, and now she's all ecstatic over there—what kind of behavior is this?!

Mu Huaisheng: You've really wronged me~

The meal has begun, and the princess looks at the poised and elegant Huai Sheng:

I didn't expect to learn the rules so quickly after only a few days in the capital. It seems I'll really have to rely on Qianyan.

Halfway through the banquet, the ladies at the women's table had all drunk some fruit wine, and the princess began to praise the young ladies' talents and beauty from house to house.

As he spoke, he asked the young ladies to perform their talents, and they immediately put them to use.

Playing the piano, dancing, writing, painting, and singing—she's truly multi-talented. Huai Sheng immediately perked up, his heart pounding with excitement.

Qianyan stood to the side, glancing at Huaisheng every now and then through the screen.

Huai Sheng didn't even have time to glance at him; his eyes were fixed on the young ladies.

Princess: This country bumpkin is so carefree! Foolish girl!

After the ladies finished their performance, the gentlemen, aside from their understated words, had eyes even more blatant than Huai Sheng's.

The princess smiled and praised:

"They are indeed all virtuous, talented and beautiful."

"Dong'er, bring your younger brothers to offer a toast to our elders."

The prince then stood up and called his unmarried brothers to go to the princess's table to offer a toast.

The young ladies then began to secretly observe, and only then did Huaisheng remember to look at Qianyan.

As soon as she caught a glimpse of Qianyan walking at the back, she received a mournful look.

The monk Huai Sheng was completely baffled:

Were you so focused on the beautiful woman that you missed something?

The princess then pulled Qianyan aside and introduced her in detail:

"This is my lord's only nephew, whom all of you ladies have met before."

A barrage of praise followed, and many of the young ladies blushed slightly.

Mu Huaisheng: Let's take a look at our brief discussion of this market~

Holy crap!

This smiling tiger princess is trying to steal my man!

She immediately sat up straight and gave Qianyan a warning look when he looked over.

Qianyan finally smiled almost imperceptibly, just as the princess spoke again.

"My lord's nephew has a photographic memory since childhood and is skilled in both literature and martial arts."

Now she's almost nineteen, and looks like this...

Qianyan interrupted the princess's introduction:

"Your Highness, I am already engaged. We announced it several years ago."

I suffered a sudden tragedy in my childhood, and the impact was so profound that I can no longer forget it.

There's no need for Your Highness to trouble yourself with anything else. Thank you for your kind words, ladies.

After finishing speaking, he bowed, leaving the stunned princess behind. He walked to Huaisheng's side, bowed slightly, and said helplessly:

"Drink less, or you'll have a headache again tomorrow."

"Okay, stop nagging~"

After saying this, Qian Yan left, while Huai Sheng sat there with a calm expression.

The ladies at the table were completely silent, and their gazes toward Huaisheng became very complicated.

The princess immediately regained her composure and began to introduce the family's legitimate and illegitimate sons.

The ladies also echoed the sentiment listlessly. After the toasts were finished, the prince led everyone back to their seats.

The ladies, along with their daughters, then toasted the Regent through the screen.

Huai Sheng also stood up and took a sip.

As the banquet drew to a close, everyone's enthusiasm waned.

After the banquet ended, the ladies, along with their daughters, arrived full of excitement but left disappointed.

At the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, the ladies and young women all felt a pang of regret upon seeing Qianyan standing beside the carriage.

Qianyan kept her eyes straight ahead, and when she saw Huaisheng come out, she immediately came over to greet him and helped him into the carriage.

He rode his horse alongside the carriage without saying hello to the owner, and then left on his own.

Once outside the Prince's Mansion, when no one was around, Qianyan leaped onto the carriage.

She turned and jumped into the carriage, startling Huai Sheng, who, having drunk some wine, playfully scolded her with a flirtatious look in his eyes:

"Oh no! What if I fall and hurt myself?"

"Just a little further to home~"

Qingtian and Qingyun tactfully sat outside the carriage.

Qianyan almost lost control when she saw Huaisheng's seductive gaze and sat down next to her.

"From now on, if you've been drinking, you're not allowed to talk to other men!"

Huai Sheng felt his head was a little heavy, so he hugged Qian Yan's arm with both hands and rested his head softly on his shoulder.

He mumbled, his mind a little foggy:

"When I'm with other men, I basically don't drink alcohol."

Someone as attractive as me, if I were to give the wrong look, it would only lead to misunderstandings.

That's no good, that's no good!

With a gentle, fragrant woman beside him, he was already somewhat distracted, but upon hearing her words, he smiled helplessly.

Before we knew it, we were home, and the carriage drove straight into the front yard.

After getting off the carriage, Qianyan scooped up Huaisheng, whose legs were a little unsteady.

Huai Sheng naturally stretched out his arms to wrap around Qian Yan, pressing his face against Qian Yan's neck.

It rubbed against me like a cat, sniffed me, and said lazily:

"Um...

It's the flavor of our simple words~

After saying that, she rubbed against him again, feeling relieved.

The hot-blooded Cui Qianyan was practically going crazy!

She quickly told Qingtian and Qingyun to go back first and prepare her washing up. The two of them smiled at each other and went off.

After calming down, Qianyan was able to carry Huaisheng to the main courtyard without making a fool of herself.

After handing the person over to Qingtian and Qingyun, I quickly went back and took a cold shower.

That night, Qianyan had a series of sweet and romantic dreams.

I took a cold shower after getting up in the morning before starting my martial arts practice and going to work.

Huai Sheng didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. He was still a little dazed when he got up. He ate two pieces of pastry and drank some milk.

While taking a walk to digest my food, my mind was still filled with the image of the beautiful woman from yesterday.

Still wanting more, he said to Qingtian:

"Sunny day~ It's a pity you didn't go in yesterday."

Those beauties were all graceful and elegant, their long sleeves flowing as they danced.

Tsk tsk tsk...

"Girl! Don't dwell on it anymore~"

If you were a man, I wonder how many beautiful wives and concubines you would have.
