The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu lowered his head and sipped his tea, the corner of his eyes had already quietly fallen on Ye Xiaohan across the round table, and he would occasionally pay attention to Ye Xiaohan's slender hands.

The skin is as white as mutton fat, the joints are as sharp as bamboo, the knuckles are slender but not weak, and there is a thin layer of callus at the base of the thumb from years of martial arts practice. From a distance, the joints of these hands are evenly spaced and smooth as white jade, which gives people a sense of conviction that they reveal great power in their warmth.

However, the hands of Youming Jiuzhong were somewhat different. She remembered what the hands of Youming Jiuzhong looked like when she saw them in the garden that day...

Youming Jiuchong's pair of big hands were bronze in color, with the blue veins on the back of his hands more prominent. Purple blood vessels appeared at the joints, floating slightly with his movements, like a poisonous snake that would jump out at any time, making people feel a little scared when looking at it.

More importantly, Yun Mujiu remembered that the last time he met Youming Jiuzhong in the garden, the back of Youming Jiuzhong's right hand was scratched by the sharp rose thorns, leaving a lot of small scars. It was only a few days ago, and it was impossible for Youming Jiuzhong's scars to heal so quickly. In addition, the appearance of Youming Jiuzhong's hand was completely different from Ye Xiaohan's, and there was no obvious similarity between the two people's hands.

It felt like something pressing down on my heart had fallen away, and I seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Mujiu lowered his head again, placed the teacup on the table, then picked up the teapot and poured tea into the exquisite chrysanthemum-shaped teacup.

After thinking it over again, she remembered the results of her investigation into Wei Bo, who seemed to be in a strange mood.

At that time, Yun Mujiu asked Wei Bai about Ye Xiaohan's going out, and after asking, she keenly discovered that Wei Bai's condition seemed a little different from usual.

She thought that Wei Bo was hiding something from her because he was worried. First, he might be worried about saving his relationship with Fu Qian. Second, he might be hiding something special from her and others besides friendship and love.

Yun Mujiu's people found out in the past few days that Wei Bai and Fu Qian have been having some problems recently. Wei Bai often wanted to go to the store to find Fu Qian, but Fu Qian ignored him. Or it can be said that the carefree Fu Qian did not notice the changes in Wei Bai's behavior and his inner psychological activities. Fu Qian treated Wei Bai carelessly as always, and even asked Wei Bai, a thin businessman, to do some physical work that strong men should do.

After Sui Xi found out, he guessed that Wei Bai was worried about Fu Qian, which was why he kept it a secret from the princess.

Logically speaking, the investigation into the cause of Wei Bo's abnormal condition should end here.

But Yun Mujiu did not jump to conclusion so quickly. Although on the surface the results showed that Wei Bai was indeed troubled by personal matters, she always felt that besides this personal emotional matter, Wei Bai seemed to have something big hidden in his heart.

This discovery also made her feel a little strange for some reason...

She didn’t know whether Ye Xiaohan knew about Wei Bai’s abnormal condition, and whether he understood it clearly...

She bypassed Wei Bai and asked directly to Wei Bai's boss Ye Xiaohan if it was not good for Wei Bai? Ye Xiaohan was strict in his rule and was also very strict with his subordinates. Wei Bai and his subordinates usually did not dare to talk to Ye Xiaohan about anything other than business.

Yun Mujiu took Wei Bai's position into consideration, changed his mind, and temporarily put aside the idea of ​​telling Ye Xiaohan about Wei Bai's unusual thoughts.

Ye Xiaohan calmly read several letters of report from the court, then looked up at Yun Mujiu, and saw that the other party was holding his little face with both hands, looking eagerly at the tea in the teacup.

Yun Mujiu's obedient little face, with her chin on her hand, was reflected in the green tea.

"What is the princess thinking about?" Ye Xiaohan suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty." Yun Mujiu was startled, looked up to meet Ye Xiaohan's calm gaze, and shook his head, "I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just daydreaming and thinking about some random things."

Ye Xiaohan said: "How about taking a walk in the garden?"

Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Okay. Come to think of it, I haven't been to the garden for quite some time. I wonder how the flowers and plants there are doing."

Ye Xiaohan closed the letter and put it aside. But he heard Yun Mujiu's caring voice again: "But the prince just returned home not long ago and has dealt with a lot of official business. Why don't you take a nap first? We can take a walk together when we are free."

Ye Xiaohan stood up, took a step with his long legs, and walked in front of Yun Mujiu.

"Not tired." He added: "Walking with you is a great way to take a break."

Yun Mujiu's eyes curved when he heard that and he stood up.

When she stood up, she felt more deeply the sense of majesty brought about by the height difference between her and Ye Xiaohan. Of course, she was the one who was under the pressure.

Yun Mujiu muttered, "How come Your Majesty is so tall? I have to look up to see you."

Ye Xiaohan raised his lips and instantly lowered his head towards Yun Mujiu's face.

His thin lips were very close to the tip of Yun Mujiu's small nose.

Yun Mujiu felt Ye Xiaohan's warm breath blowing on her nose and even on her face.

She leaned back subconsciously, but Ye Xiaohan lowered his head at this moment, and his cold lips lightly fell on Yun Mujiu's hump nose. It seemed unintentional, and the cold lips quickly moved away.

Yun Mujiu widened his eyes, and first felt a chill in his nose, followed by a burning sensation.

Just as her face was numb, she heard a cold voice coming from above her head.

"You don't have to look up. I'll look down for you."

Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan like a fool. He bent down and lowered his head, his eyes level with hers.

She looked into Ye Xiaohan's extremely deep and beautiful eyes, in which only her little face was reflected.

Yun Mujiu's mind moved, and he stood on tiptoe and reached out to hold Ye Xiaohan's neck.

To her surprise and delight, Ye Xiaohan leaned closer to her.

She didn't have to stand on tiptoe, Ye Xiaohan bent down and hugged her.

Yun Mujiu was stunned, then smiled and put his arms around Ye Xiaohan's strong waist.

"Your Majesty, you seem to have changed a little."

"Where has this king changed?"

"Changed. The prince has become a little like me."

"Where is the same?"

"I will express my love to my lover directly..."

"Does Mumu like it?"

"Of course I do. I like it when Your Majesty expresses his affection for me." Yun Mujiu rubbed against Ye Xiaohan's broad chest again, "If you like someone, you should say it, right?"

"Ah."

Yun Mujiu thought about it, and suddenly thought of something, and added: "But it depends on the situation. You should naturally express your love to your loved one and accept his love. As for other people, especially the opposite sex of the same age, sometimes it is better to keep a proper distance."

Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more. He just seemed to hold Yun Mujiu's hands a little tighter...

Not long after, the news that the Night King and his wife were strolling in the garden spread throughout the palace, attracting a group of servants and guards who happened to be free to come and gather around the garden, hiding in it or pretending to be doing things like pruning branches, watering and weeding.

Outside the Night King's Palace, a group of spies were lying in ambush on the street outside the Night King's Palace. Many people were concerned about the fact that a man had entered the palace on horseback today, and they were even more concerned about the current situation of the regent Zhongyue who had not been seen for a long time...
