Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

Then she reluctantly said, "I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave first."

Qingyun nodded and didn't stop him.

Shui Lingling wanted to rely on Qingyun to save her and her unborn baby, but unfortunately Qingyun didn't buy it.

Although she was promoted from concubine to concubine because of the child, she was not given a title, which shows Emperor Yan's perfunctory attitude.

Yuna stepped forward and asked the other noble ladies to take a seat. Qingyun then felt a little relieved and gave Yuna a grateful look.

Yuna smiled back, but her eyes were a little vague.

Qingyun noticed something strange, but before she could ask, An Shi's sharp voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and the Queen has arrived."

Hearing the voice, Qingyun gave up the thought of asking. If she got too close to Yuna, it would inevitably cause her some trouble, so she had to stand up with everyone else and look towards the gate of the Imperial Garden.

Emperor Yan had a stern face and did not look very good. His eyes were a little dazed, yet sometimes extremely clear.

The bright yellow dragon robe seemed a little too big on his thin body, but it did not weaken his inherent majesty as a superior.

Meng Zirou, who was beside him, was supporting Emperor Yan lightly, her face was elegant and noble, with a proper smile on her lips.

The pearl beads on the phoenix crown swayed with her movements. She was wearing a goose yellow palace dress, which made her look dignified and elegant, like the one in power in the harem.

Seeing who was coming, everyone saluted.

"Your servant, your concubine, your wife, your daughter, respectfully welcomes Your Majesty and the Empress. Long live Your Majesty and may the Empress live a thousand years and a thousand years."

Qingyun bent her knees and lowered her eyes to hide the expression in her eyes. Before she even stood up, she felt someone looking at her closely.

She didn't look up at the owner of that gaze, but she already had the answer in her heart.

Emperor Yan glanced at everyone expressionlessly and raised his hand, "Everyone, please stand up. Since this is a banquet hosted by the Queen, there is no need to be so restrained."

"Yes, yes, yes, your Majesty is right. Please stand up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up, and Emperor Yan and Meng Zirou had already taken the main seats.

Qingyun took small steps and moved back, trying to use the noble ladies and concubines around her to block her figure and disappear from the eyes of Meng Zirou and Emperor Yan.

The moment Emperor Yan appeared, her sixth sense told her that today's events might not be simple.

She didn't think that Emperor Yan came here to support Meng Zirou, so his goal must be something else. Although it was a bit narcissistic to think so, she still felt that Emperor Yan came for her.

Sure enough, just when Qingyun was about to disappear from everyone's sight, Emperor Yan called out to her.

"The princess is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the capital. Her outfit today is even more eye-catching than the queen's."

Qingyun's heart skipped a beat and she sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant. She felt like she was being targeted by a hunter and was terrified.

She slowly raised her head and met Emperor Yan's half-smile in the eyes, but the people around her had already hidden aside, exposing her to Emperor Yan.

Helplessly, Qingyun had to take a step forward and stopped thinking about hiding. Since she couldn't hide, then come on. A dark light flashed in her eyes.

She bowed and saluted. She glanced at Meng Zirou, who was indifferent to the matter. She was admiring the armor on her hand and didn't even look at her.

Unable to do so, he met Emperor Yan’s eyes again and smiled.

“Your Majesty, you are too kind. I cannot bear the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital. It is only because the Empress entered the palace that I was able to take advantage of it.

The clothes I am wearing today were given by the Empress Dowager. I just thought that since the Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet today, I wanted to make it more solemn and had no other thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Qingyun was sincere and neither humble nor arrogant. She explained the origin of her title of the most beautiful woman in the capital, the origin of the clothes she was wearing, and also flattered Meng Zirou.

Regardless of whether it works or not, the most important thing is to pull yourself out of it.

Today is the banquet hosted by Meng Zirou. Although it is not a very important banquet, it is wrong to outshine the queen.

This matter could be a big or small one, and if one is not careful it could become a serious crime of insulting the imperial power.

After listening to Qingyun's explanation, Emperor Yan snorted and looked unhappy.

"Princess, you are really good at talking. According to you, is it me who caused the Queen to lose the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital?"

Qingyun knelt down hurriedly, but her eyes met Emperor Yan's without any retreat. "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I naturally did not mean that. I just feel that my appearance is not worth mentioning in front of Her Majesty."

Emperor Yan stared at Qingyun, trying to see the slightest change in her eyes. It would have been fear or panic, but no, not at all. She just looked at him quietly, like a deep ancient well, without the slightest ripple.

But this made him even angrier. He took a few breaths to calm himself down and chuckled.

"Princess, there is no need to be like this. I was just joking. Please get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qingyun stood up and brushed off the dust on her skirt, her movements lazy and casual, showing that she didn't take what had just happened seriously at all.

Emperor Yan noticed Qingyun's attitude, reached out and took Meng Zirou's hand, and asked with gentle eyes, "What are the arrangements for the banquet hosted by the Queen today?"

Meng Zirou raised her eyes and smiled gently, "In fact, there is no arrangement. We just invited some noble ladies to enjoy the flowers and recite poems. But now that your Majesty is here, would you like to see something different?"

Emperor Yan pondered for a while, as if he was really thinking about doing something. He turned his head and looked at Qingyun again with a kind smile.

"I heard that the princess opened a dessert shop among the people, and the business is very good. It is said that those novel ways of eating are all from the princess's hand.

It’s just a pity that my beloved concubine and I are confined to the palace all year round and cannot go out, so we can’t taste such delicious food.”

As he spoke, Emperor Yan shook his head with a regretful expression.

Meng Zirou patted Emperor Yan's hand and comforted him: "Don't be sad, Your Majesty. The eldest princess happens to be here today, so just let her make it now. Isn't it better than the one in that shop?"

Emperor Yan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Qingyun eagerly, "Princess, would you be willing to make a bowl of sweet soup for me and my beloved concubine?"

Qingyun watched Yan Di and Meng Zirou singing the same tune, with a sneer on her lips and an unchanged expression.

When she first opened Baihua Pavilion, she had no intention of restraining herself. Although on the surface it was Mo Jingchun's shop, based on the identities of the people who came to the opening ceremony that day, it was clear at a glance who was in charge, and who was in charge throughout the capital.

She never imagined that she would become the liar who framed herself.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that the dessert shop was opened by my cousin. I just came up with some ideas but I don't know how to actually do it.

If Your Majesty likes, I can invite the chef from Baihua Pavilion to come here now."

Emperor Yan frowned and said, "The princess means that you don't want to do it anymore, right?"
