The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu refused to take the blame for being late. He glanced at Princess Ji Ling and Meng Ninglang, then said to Princess Gao Yang, "Why are you waiting for me? I didn't say I would definitely come."

Princess Gao Yang's words were blocked. Yun Mujiu was right. She had never responded to whether she would attend the banquet. It was just Gao Yang's wishful thinking that Yun Mujiu would definitely come.

Yun Mujiu didn't even say he would come, but Gao Yang blamed Yun Mujiu for making them wait. Isn't this unreasonable?

Yun Mujiu paused, and then said with a hint of deep meaning - "Princess Gaoyang is so looking forward to it, and is so sure that I will come, is there any special 'arrangement' for me at the banquet?"

"No, no, no, I don't have any plans for you." Princess Gao Yang denied it hastily, and explained palely: "I just miss you too much in my heart, so I want to ask a few more questions."

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "How can I be so worthy as to trouble the princess to care about you?" He glanced at the crowd gathered around him and asked with a smile, "Besides, why did the princess say 'I'm late'? Did the banquet start early? I don't know."

Some of the other guests waiting to enter responded to Yun Mujiu, saying that the banquet had not yet begun. Meng Ninglang, Ji Ling's group of sisters, and some court officials' families such as the Su family father and son, the Meng Guogong faction, and the Night King faction also began to support Yun Mujiu's words, emphasizing that the banquet had not yet begun.

Princess Gao Yang smiled bitterly and shook her head under the warning eyes of the Cao family, "I was wrong. The banquet has not started yet. You came just in time."

Yun Mujiu smiled and stabbed Gao Yang again: "It's not that I came just in time, but I came early." Although she deliberately came on time, she still arrived a little earlier than expected, but it was okay this way. Not only was she not late, nor did she arrive on time, but she arrived early. She must be a thoughtful guest at the banquet. What right did Gao Yang and the others have to blame her for anything?

"Princess Ye, I was wrong. You were so thoughtful to arrive early. You really wanted to attend the birthday banquet to celebrate my birthday." Princess Gaoyang was humiliated again, then swallowed down her negative emotions and didn't dare to mention being late again.

He forced a smile and changed the subject, "How come you forgot to greet me while you were talking?"

In the crowd, Bei Liyi and several young ladies from official families also whispered in agreement, "Princess Gaoyang."

Yun Mujiu took a step back, frowning slightly: "Princess Gaoyang, I remember my husband is the Regent of Zhongyue, right?"

"Yes." Princess Gao Yang replied blankly, not understanding why Yun Mujiu didn't respond to her. She wanted to do it again so as to pin the crime of not knowing etiquette on Yun Mujiu.

"If that's the case, then according to seniority, I don't have to bow to you, Princess." Yun Mujiu waved his sleeves and said, "Princess, you have to bow to me and the prince."

"you!"

"Am I wrong?" Yun Mujiu smiled and said leisurely - "If the princess doesn't think that the prince is older than you, I will ask the prince what's going on. Is the prince, the regent, more powerful, or are you, the princess, more capable? In addition, I will also ask the prince to see what kind of punishment those royal relatives who disrespect their elders and do not observe etiquette should receive!"

Princess Gaoyang waved her sleeves. She didn't expect Yun Mujiu to be so sharp-tongued.

She didn't want to admit defeat, and asked unwillingly: "Is this what Xiao Han meant?"

"Please call him 'Night King'." Yun Mujiu did not give Princess Gao Yang the opportunity to establish a relationship. Calling Ye Xiaohan by his name, are you worthy?

"Is this what Lord Ye meant?" Princess Gao Yang asked after changing her words. As long as it wasn't Lord Ye who protected Yun Mujiu, but Yun Mujiu pulled up the banner of Lord Ye himself, then she would have a chance to save her face.

Maybe the Night King did not allow Yun Mujiu to have the same treatment as him as a prince. That is, even if Yun Mujiu is the princess of a country, she should follow some etiquette like the eldest princess.

Yun Mu opened her pink lips and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a majestic and cold voice echoed above everyone's head.

"Yes, so what?"

Everyone was shocked to hear the sound of a powerful inner force, and then they were stunned to try to recall who was speaking.

The bright yellow curtain of the imposing royal carriage was lifted, and a tall and straight man appeared in front of them.

This time, everyone was even more surprised. Their shock was far greater than when they saw Yun Mujiu just now. Their jaws almost dropped in shock.

A man was tall and majestic, with a handsome figure. There was a cold frosty color on his handsome face. He exuded an aura of noble and cold arrogance that kept people at a distance. His deep eyes showed an arrogant and domineering attitude that looked down on the world.

His hair was as black as ink, and was tied up with a jade ring and cloud-patterned gold crown, which further highlighted the superior features on his handsome face. He wore a dark Cantonese-style flying shoulder-belted waist-cinched python robe, with golden auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, a jade-inlaid gold belt buckle around his waist, and a double-tasseled white jade waist pendant.

Under the bright sunlight, as he walked, the giant python embroidered on his robe shone with silver light, looking lifelike. He looked cool, outstanding, and noble.

The scene was completely silent, and no one spoke or reacted for a long time. Only the expressions on their faces were ever-changing and extremely exciting. Some people's eyes almost popped out, some people's mouths were so wide open that their jaws were about to dislocate, and some people's expressions were distorted as if they had seen a ghost...

As everyone's eyes moved, they all looked at Ye Xiaohan's legs.

Of course, they were not shocked by the Night King's long legs.

But I was shocked—when did the Night King recover!

And it seems to be in better condition than before!

He doesn't look like an injured prince who is recuperating at all!

In fact, ever since Ye Xiaohan defeated the Western Barbarians and returned to the court, there have been rumors about the Night King's leg disease. Even though the Night King's Mansion and the Imperial Palace have been insisting that "the Night King's legs will never recover in this lifetime", there are still rumors that the Night King may recover, it's just a matter of whether people believe it or not.

So what if there are rumors? Basically no one will believe that Ye Xiaohan will recover, except for those in Ye Xiaohan's own camp and people from other factions who intend to follow Ye Xiaohan.

For this reason, most people in the world believed that the Night King was really seriously injured. Even if his internal injuries had healed and the toxins had been eliminated, it was likely that his pair of vital legs would never be able to recover to their former peak condition.

But today, everyone witnessed with their own eyes the graceful walking of Prince Ye, which almost shocked them to death! This feeling was as shocking as seeing a dead person resurrected in front of them!

It was at this time that everyone realized belatedly and exclaimed: It turns out that Prince Ye had recovered long ago, but they just didn't know it! It's really amazing!

This feeling of hindsight is really subtle and complex!

Some people are happy and relieved, some are upset and regretful, some are full of hatred, some are furious, and some are so angry that they spit blood...

Ye Xiaohan glanced around coldly, taking in everyone's reactions one by one. He looked at Yun Mujiu, with a peaceful look in his eyes that belonged only to Yun Mujiu.

"Pah..." Some people were heartbroken, both men and women. After all, Prince Ye was handsome and Princess Ye was beautiful, so naturally there were people who cared about each of them...
