The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Princess Gaoyang couldn't help it, so she stepped forward and grabbed Princess Ji Ling's wrist, asking, "Ji Ling, why hasn't Mu Jiu arrived yet?"

Princess Ji Ling calmly let go of Gao Yang's hand and took a step back awkwardly. "Sister Gao Yang, I don't know either." She then said innocently, "Mu Jiu didn't say whether he would come or not."

Everyone looked at Princess Ji Ling who was speaking. It was at this time that Ling Xingmu had the opportunity to see Princess Ji Ling from a closer distance. In the past, he had only seen Princess Ji Ling from a distance. He stood at the bottom of a few steps, with several groups of people standing in front of him. His gaze was like a sharp arrow, piercing through the crowd in front of him and reaching the young girl with a sweet smile.

Princess Ji Ling wore a long dress with aqua-colored sea butterflies. She looked delicate and clever. She was truly a noble and gentle little princess from the royal family.

Princess Gao Yang looked at her arm being thrown away, suppressed the complex emotions of dissatisfaction in her heart, pursed her lips and said: "Forget it, Princess Ye should be here."

Princess Ji Ling smiled without saying a word and stood silently aside, not standing with Princess Gao Yang and her family.

Today is the sixtieth birthday of the old lady of the Cao family. Logically speaking, Yun Mujiu should have made a brief appearance, whether she was the legitimate daughter of the former Prime Minister Yun or the granddaughter of Duke Meng. Or, she could not come, but she would usually have to let them know in advance.

However, Yun Mujiu didn't say she would come, nor did she say she wouldn't come. This made it difficult for everyone to determine whether she and Ye Xiaohan would come.

Princess Gaoyang waited for a long time but didn't see him, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Princess Gao Yang forced a smile and prayed secretly: Yun Mujiu will definitely come. It is not so important whether Ye Wang comes or not, but Yun Mujiu must come to this game today.

This is the last "meeting" before she and Yun Mujiu say goodbye.

She turned around and her eyes fell on a young man who was talking to General Bai and his daughter.

She walked over and greeted General Bai Yan first, then turned around and looked at Bai Yanshuang: "Yanshuang, this is your friend, right?"

Bai Yanshuang nodded and said openly, "This is the young master of Meng Ninglang's mansion, Meng Ninglang."

Princess Gaoyang seemed to suddenly realize who was in front of her, and raised her red lips: "Master Meng."

Meng Ninglang was wearing a neat brown robe, with a youthful and refreshing temperament mixed with a few traces of the calmness of a mature man. He nodded slightly, with a cold expression on his face, and said neither servilely nor arrogantly: "Meet Princess Gaoyang."

Princess Gaoyang smiled and said, "Do you know how your cousin is doing?"

Meng Ninglang said directly: "Princess Ye and Prince Ye are recuperating in the palace. I don't know their specific itinerary."

Princess Gao Yang's expression froze. Seeing that Meng Ninglang had already asked the questions she wanted to ask, she didn't want to ask any further.

She wanted to turn around and ask other people, but she heard Cao's reminder: "The banquet is about to start, and we should go back home, so as not to let the guests wait for us for too long."

Princess Gaoyang gritted her teeth and saw a group of royal family members and courtiers' families standing on the steps in front of the vermilion gate. The other guests also gathered on the large platform under the steps in front of the mansion, waiting for everyone to enter the mansion together.

At this moment, a clear and melodious palace bell sounded not far away. Everyone shuddered, turned around, and looked up at the official road facing the palace gate.

Not far away, on the long street in front of the palace gate, a magnificent palace carriage pulled by four white horses slowly drove in. Standing on the carriage were a male guard in black and a female guard in green. Behind the carriage followed a solemn and orderly guard team.

Everyone was stunned and whispered, wondering who the important person was in this strange palace car.

"Could it be that someone else has come to the palace?"

"Could it be that the Emperor and Empress have appeared?"

Under the gazes of everyone, the imperial carriage came to the center of the platform under the steps of the palace gate.

The maid in green got off the carriage and lifted a corner of the bright yellow curtain.

A woman walked lightly and slowly got off the carriage.

There was an uproar all around, with gasps coming one after another.

Everyone stared at the woman in front of them with wide eyes, their eyes popping out of their sockets with such amazement.

The woman was extremely beautiful, and her light makeup only highlighted her otherworldly beauty. Her beautiful eyes were full of life, her oval face was gentle and dignified, and she faintly exuded a fairy-like aura.

Her jet-black hair was combed into a pair of flying fairy buns, with a long hairpin made of white crystal and adorned with white jade beads inserted diagonally on both sides. Her hair on both sides of her temples hung slightly on both sides of her pink cheeks, making her pair of white jade-like ears more delicate and lovely, and two slender earrings with snow-white pearls swayed slightly.

She was graceful and elegant, wearing a long white silk dress embroidered with colored glaze. The body of the skirt was made of white gauze, which was colored glaze, light and transparent. In the sunlight, the layers of the skirt were like mermaid scales, sparkling and radiant.

Someone screamed "Wow!" and the whole place suddenly went wild.

"Isn't this Princess Night?"

"Oh my god, Princess Ye is so beautiful!"

"She is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Oh no, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"This is my first time meeting Princess Ye. She is so stunning!"

"It's not an exaggeration to call her a fairy."

"Princess Ye has an extremely elegant demeanor, making people dare not look directly at her and disrespect her."

Yun Mujiu had an indifferent expression on his face. He took a step forward, glanced around with his extremely clear phoenix eyes, and nodded slightly to the acquaintances in the crowd as a greeting.

Princess Ji Ling, Bai Yanshuang, You Luoyan and others smiled faintly, and Meng Ninglang's family also grinned. Mu Jiu is so beautiful! As Mu Jiu's friends and relatives, they also felt so proud!

The Second Prince Ye Chudi, the Fifth Prince Ye Chuhe, the Seventh Prince Ye Chufeng and other members of the royal family were also shocked.

Especially the King Di, his eyes trembled. He had always wanted to see Yun Mujiu, and now he finally saw him after returning to the capital after a long time. The huge change in Yun Mujiu was much greater than he expected. King Di's heart beat wildly, and he couldn't even feel the pain from being beaten by Ye Xiaohan a few days ago.

Bei Manji and Bei Liyi looked at Yun Mujiu, and like many other ladies who had some unclear thoughts in their hearts, their eyes were filled with intense jealousy.

At the same time, Princess Gaoyang walked quickly down the stairs, and the crowd on the stairs dispersed.

She stood in front of Yun Mujiu and forced a smile: "Mujiu."

"Princess Gaoyang, you should just call me by my name." Yun Mujiu said indifferently, with a slightly unfamiliar tone.

Princess Gao Yang's face froze. Due to the presence of others, it was inappropriate for her to call Yun Mujiu by name. She could only follow Yun Mujiu's implicit meaning and politely said, "Princess Ye, you are here."

He raised his lips and smiled, then said in a reproachful tone: "Princess Ye, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Wait for me?" Yun Mujiu raised his eyebrows. "Isn't the host of the birthday banquet Madam Cao?"

"It's true that the host is my father-in-law." Princess Gaoyang gritted her teeth and said, "What I mean is that we are waiting for you, the guest." We are waiting for you, the guest, not the host of the banquet.

Yun Mujiu just found it funny. What a joke! As soon as she showed up, Gao Yang wanted to put the blame on her for being late?
