The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

King Di and his entourage chatted casually while looking at the crowd gathering in the distance.

Looking from a distance, it seemed that more people were gathering to watch the couple.

Prince Di frowned and muttered, "You are so shameless again, why are so many people following you to watch the fun?"

Ling Chiye's face was dull, and he said indifferently: "Perhaps it is because of his extraordinary demeanor that arouses great curiosity."

Ling Xingmu smiled in a youthful manner, "I'm just curious. Anyway, everyone has nothing to do, so naturally they all gather together when there's something fun going on."

In fact, he figured it out a little bit...

Because he remembered the life-saving grace of Princess Ye so deeply in his heart, he naturally remembered Princess Ye's face and figure. That white figure should be Princess Ye.

And the extraordinary man standing hand in hand with Princess Ye.

Who else could it be?

It can only be Ye Xiaohan, the regent of Zhongyue.

As early as when Princess Ye went to the other hospital for a follow-up consultation on him, King Ye had accompanied Princess Ye. As for King Ye's latest appearance, he would know more about it than his eldest brother and the third prince.

However, Ling Xingmu was still guessing in his heart, and his face showed no external emotions. After a brief shock, he quickly put on a contented look, and even the group of guards following behind him could not tell what he was feeling.

Prince Di and Ling Chiye were still talking leisurely, but they had already turned their gazes away and were casually chatting about some unimportant matters.

Ling Xingmu looked a bit listless, as if he had no interest in strolling and enjoying the scenery. Ling Chiye had met him once since he came to the capital, and he almost beat him to death. After that, Ling Chiye rented a separate courtyard to live in, and never came to see him again.

He sighed bitterly: If the Third Prince had not kindly invited his elder brother to go out and play with him today, he would probably have no chance to meet this extremely strict elder brother.

In the distance, the two well-matched couples stopped and looked behind them. Two men dressed as servants came up to them, said something to them, and then left.

Then the man and woman stood there, looking at the blue lake. On the pebbles on the shore, there were a few old men wearing bamboo hats fishing, but they were so focused on fishing that they would not move even if they saw fairies nearby.

At this time, Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu said nothing, but just looked quietly at the lake behind the pile of pebbles.

The lake shore here is higher than the horizontal plane. For this reason, there is a sloping gravel slope from the bank to the lake, which attracts many middle-aged and elderly people who go fishing to gather here, and some boys and girls, and families with children, play in the water on the slope.

As soon as Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu appeared, a group of people gasped, and then looked at them with passionate, curious, appreciative, amazed, scrutinizing, and envious eyes.

The two of them were very calm and composed, and didn't seem to be affected by the passionate gazes from people inside and outside.

Of course, they knew that many people were curious about them, and from time to time someone would stare at them. Just watch, they came out today for one reason, one reason was to have a date, and two, as Mu Jiu said, to show off in front of people and increase their exposure.

Therefore, the two of them simply ignored the obvious and covert gazes.

Standing next to a huge green Taihu stone, Yun Mujiu asked: "Xiao Xiao, can you swim?"

"swim?"

“It means swimming.”

"Yes." Ye Xiaohan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mu Mu doesn't know how to do it?"

Yun Mujiu nodded decisively, "I'm a landlubber."

There was a flash of surprise in Ye Xiaohan's eyes. He had been getting along with the woman for quite some time, but he had never seen her express such a resolute objection to a certain matter.

However, if we consider her as a noble lady in the capital, it is understandable that she could not swim, because the aristocratic families focused more on teaching women music, chess, calligraphy and painting, rather than skills such as swimming, horse riding and fighting.

Ye Xiaohan said: "Then I will teach Mu Mu some other day? Or we can ask a female teacher who specializes in water to teach Mu Mu?"

Yun Mujiu shook his head slightly, the white gauze fluttering, and said weakly: "The capital is not a water town, there shouldn't be a time when we need to swim."

"Are you afraid?"

"Yeah." Yun Mujiu nodded decisively again.

Ye Xiaohan paused for a moment, then couldn't help asking, "Why are you scared?"

Yun Mujiu chuckled: "Maybe I had a trauma about drowning in my previous life. I almost drowned in the water and no one knew about it. That's why I have a trauma about swimming in this life."

When she lived in an orphanage, the conditions were terrible and she almost drowned in the stinking pond in the orphanage. After that, although she was not afraid to go into ponds and lakes, she was not brave enough to go swimming in deep water. She always had a vague resistance and fear of water.

Later, she became a military doctor, and when she was escorting researchers out of the laboratory, she attracted enemy fire alone. Finally, when she fell off a cliff, she also caught a glimpse of a winding white ribbon in the sky.

She subconsciously cursed in her heart: "Damn it! If I die, I die. Why do I have to be soaked in water after I die?"

After Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan expressed their desire not to learn swimming, they lowered their heads, their bare hands unconsciously pulling at the bouquet of white lotuses in their hands.

When she was with the Night King, Mu Jiu always felt relieved and naturally did not feel anxious. She was very cautious in communicating with him. Therefore, she did not know that her little actions would be noticed by others.

Ye Xiaohan glanced at her slightly, his eyes moved, and he said nothing more. He just rubbed Yun Mujiu's soft, black hair with his big hands.

Yun Mujiu came back to her senses, and for a moment, she had a thought: I always felt that the person next to her seemed to know something, but considering his own emotional problems, he would not tell her...

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in my ears: "Mu Mu, let's go."

"Okay." Yun Mujiu obediently let Ye Xiaohan hold his hand and walk with him.

A few old men wearing bamboo hats not far away turned their heads slightly, glanced at them with a teasing look, then turned back and continued fishing.

Ye Xiaohan did not stay here for too long. Just now, when he was talking to Yun Mujiu, he glanced at the crowd around him and found that more and more people came to visit this place. Of course, His Majesty Ye Wang, who had excellent eyesight, also noticed the figures of King Di and his party. In addition, they had almost finished their visit.

Immediately, he made a decision, turned around and took the woman beside him away.

The two of them walked through several paths surrounded by flowers, meeting only a few people along the way. When they passed a corner of short bamboo, they stopped.

In front of the emerald green bamboo, the red clothes fluttered and touched a few bamboo leaves. The green against the red looks particularly eye-catching and beautiful.

"Chu Feng greets the Emperor's uncle and aunt." Ye Chu Feng raised his lips and said with a smile like a beautiful flower.

Ye Xiaohan's pair of deep eyes narrowed slightly.
