The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Last night, the team from Beihan finally arrived in the capital, and they had only contacted the Ministry of Rites, an imperial court agency, a few days in advance to indicate that they would be arriving soon.

The emperor and the queen had people arrange in advance, and on the night of Bei Manji's arrival, the imperial guards waiting at the city gate escorted them all the way to the villa. In addition, the queen thought of Bei Manji's distinguished status and gave the Beihan envoy's villa a name in advance, namely Chengxi Garden.

Chengxi Garden, which means receiving the morning light, implies that Zhongyue and the Beihan envoys are jointly welcoming the bright dawn of friendly diplomatic relations.

In order to avoid being perceived as partial and causing objections, the emperor also gave a name to the Nantai Envoy's Villa next door, namely Huaixin Garden.

Huaixin means to be honest and trustworthy, which implies that Zhongyue and the Nantai envoys are both honest and trustworthy, interact with each other with sincerity, and stabilize the country.

Of course, in order to avoid offending the Grand Princess and damaging the harmony between the two countries, the Emperor and Empress also cancelled the closed management of Beihan Villa. Zhongyue may not take Princess Liyi seriously, but he cannot neglect Princess Manji who supported the Emperor of Beihan to ascend the throne...

In Chengxi Garden, Bei Liyi stood in front of Bei Manji and tearfully recounted her experiences in Zhongyue.

Bei Liyi had written back to Bei Han several years ago, so Bei Manji naturally knew a lot about what happened to her in Zhongyue. But writing letters is not as good as meeting in person, and more details are better when they meet in person. Moreover, after Bei Manji entered Zhongyue, Bei Liyi and even the Zhongyue court had somehow cut off contact with Bei Manji's team, so Bei Hanji and Bei Liyi, the aunt and niece, no longer knew each other's latest situation.

A few months ago, Bei Liyi wrote a letter back to her country, explaining the mistakes she made in Zhongyue because of her jealousy of Princess Ye. In order to make amends, she asked the Beihan royal family to pay 5 million taels of gold to King Ye and Princess Ye to make amends.

The Beihan royal family agreed, but to everyone's surprise, the eldest princess of Beihan actually took the initiative to ask for permission to bring the compensation to Zhongyue in person.

Beihan is located in the northernmost part of Xingyue Continent, far away from Zhongyue Capital in the center of Xingyue Continent. In addition, Beihan is mountainous, so the journey of Beihan envoys to Zhongyue Capital will certainly take a long time.

After much difficulty, the Beihan envoys crossed the mountains and arrived at the junction of Zhongyue and Beihan. They then had to trek southward from the northern border of Zhongyue.

Originally, the court knew that Bei Manji had entered the country, and was waiting for Bei Manji and her group to appear in the capital after a while. For this reason, the court did not pay much attention to the whereabouts of this group of people. Moreover, Zhongyue Capital is far away from the northern border, and there is a barrier to communication between the capital and the northern border due to the time difference and region.

One day, from the northern part of Zhongyue to a post station in the capital, Bei Manji's team did not arrive for a long time. Later, Bei Liyi and Haoliandi sent people to check, but they could not find the latest traces of Bei Manji's team. They thought Bei Manji wanted to travel Zhongyue and took other routes, so they did not investigate further.

Later, when they realized something was wrong, they couldn't find the whereabouts of Bei Manji's team. They could only think that Princess Manji was fascinated by the beautiful scenery and had been traveling in different areas, and accidentally cut off contact with them. After all, neither side had strictly agreed on a date to meet, so it was reasonable for the envoys led by Bei Manji to move naturally.

Bei Liyi finished crying about her situation in Zhongyue, and then asked anxiously: "Aunt, why are you so late?"

At this moment, in front of Bei Liyi, there was a beautiful woman with heavy makeup. She had extremely fair skin and an oval face with a strong air of arrogance. Her deep and tall eyebrows revealed a few traces of sharp hostility and coldness. It was obvious that this person was not a simple person both on the outside and inside.

When Bei Manji heard Bei Liyi's question, a cold look instantly appeared in her serious eyes, and she narrated the whole process in an almost indifferent tone.

At first, they crossed the northern border of Zhongyue and heard some interesting stories about the prefectures and counties on their way south. Bei Manji and her group were all in Beijing for the first time. They thought that they had finally come to Beijing, so they had to visit more places before officially entering Beijing to do business, learn more about the customs and habits of Zhongyue, and at the same time, find out more news. Otherwise, after entering Beijing and leaving, they could only return directly to Beihan - instead of leisurely strolling around Zhongyue. Bei Manji and her group visited many prefectures and counties based on the sources of the interesting stories they had inquired about.

Then, when they began to think about taking the official road back to the capital, some people in the team were seriously ill due to the hot weather, so they did not dare to rush on and could only rest for a few days.

Later, when they arrived in several states in the north of Zhongyue Capital, they encountered floods again and were trapped there. Bei Manji also felt unwell at this time. She was sick for a long time, and the flood did not recede for a long time.

They set off again only when the flood receded and she recovered and was able to travel normally.

The journey was full of twists and turns, and it has only been in the past half month that I was able to travel to the capital normally.

Bei Liyi was also stunned after hearing about such a difficult journey. However, she quickly reacted and said with a smile: "It's okay, aunt, as long as you arrive. I have been waiting for your arrival."

Bei Manji's expression eased slightly, and she asked in a deep voice, "How is your health?"

Bei Liyi smiled bitterly, "It's not like that yet."

Bei Manji spent last night and this morning trying to understand the situation of Bei Liyi and his group in the capital. She also knew Bei Liyi better than any other envoy or minister, and she was also aware of Bei Liyi's strange illness.

Bei Liyi smiled again: "But don't worry, auntie. I asked Emperor and Empress Zhongyue to make the decision for me a few days ago and asked them to ask Princess Ye to come and see me."

Bei Manji said uncertainly: "Princess Ye is at odds with you, will she help you?"

Bei Liyi swore solemnly: "With the order from Empress Zhongyue, she has to take action even if she doesn't want to."

Bei Manji nodded and said coldly: "When I have a chance to see her, I will seek justice for you."

"Thank you, aunt!" Bei Liyi hugged Bei Manji, his drooping brows revealing a hint of viciousness.

After the morning court session ended today, Bei Manji and a new group of envoys entered the palace.

Emperor Haolian and several ministers met Bei Manji and his party in the imperial study. Bei Manji also explained to Emperor Haolian the reasons for her late arrival.

In fact, Bei Manji and Hao Liandi both felt a little strange, but they couldn't find any faults. In fact, Bei Manji and his team took so long to arrive because of various accidents, not because of human obstruction.

After the envoys left the imperial study, the emperor endured the discomfort and discussed the matter with several of his confidants.

Finally, a plan was born, that is, to prepare a welcoming banquet for King Di, Ling Chiye's Ling family team, and Bei Manji's envoys. For such a grand banquet, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu must also attend...

The emperor was also planning to seize the huge compensation from the Beihan royal family from the couple, which could be used to support his troops.

Although Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu did not leave the Ye Palace, they were able to grasp the news from outside, such as who had arrived in the capital, who had gone to court, who had entered and left the palace, etc.

Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were drinking tea leisurely in the flower room. Both of them looked calm and composed, as if nothing happening outside could affect their mood.

Yun Mujiu counted on his fingers and said leisurely, "My Lord, someone is coming to see me soon, right?"

Ye Xiaohan's eyes fell on Yun Mujiu's pretty face, and he said lightly, "It's almost there."

"Mumu, it will be there soon..."
