The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Just after noon, two young masters of the Ling family from the northern border arrived in a gorgeous carriage, and the Ling family guards were escorting the carriages full of gifts in a mighty procession behind them.

From the moment the Ling family appeared on the street, they instantly attracted the attention of countless people in the capital.

People were discussing where the two young masters of the Ling family were going, and why they were so grand?

Someone pondered this and recalled the incident when Yun Mujiu had treated the Third Young Master Ling. At that time, the Third Young Master Ling had announced that he would bring gifts from the Northern Territory and come to thank Yun Mujiu in person.

"The Ling family is coming to visit Prince Ye and Princess Ye!"

A lively crowd followed the Ling family team, passing through the streets and alleys in the central area of ​​the capital, and finally saw the two young masters of the Ling family appear in front of the magnificent gate of the Night King's Mansion.

On both sides of the vermilion gate, Butler Zeng and Wei Bai welcomed the team into the mansion with faint smiles on their faces.

In the main hall of Prince Ye's Mansion, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan sat in the main seats.

Ling Chiye, wearing a sapphire blue Suzhou embroidered brocade robe and a golden crown in his hair, entered the door with a slightly stern expression.

Ling Xingmu was wearing an elegant orange brocade robe and a jade crown on his head, and he was walking closely behind.

The two brothers smiled and saluted Ye Xiaohan, Yun Mu and Jiuxing.

Yun Mujiu also nodded slightly and said, "Master Ling, Master Ling III, please take a seat."

Ling Chiye was very direct. After a few brief pleasantries, he immediately got to the point.

First of all, he expressed his gratitude to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, especially Yun Mujiu, who saved Ling Xingmu, whose life was in danger, with his kindness and superb medical skills.

Secondly, he also wanted to express some guilt and apology to Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu. Ling Xingmu came to the capital without permission and caused a lot of trouble. If it weren't for Yun Mujiu's treatment and sheltering, and if it weren't for Ye Xiaohan sending guards to protect him and making several attempts to protect Ling Xingmu, I'm afraid Ling Xingmu, the youngest son of the Northern Territory Governor, would have been plotted against and harmed by many people long ago.

While Ling Chiye was speaking, he asked the guard to take out the gift list and handed it to Butler Zeng for inspection.

What surprised Ling Xingmu was that his brother not only brought the gifts he listed in his reply letter to his family, but also gave a large number of additional gifts in the name of the Ling family as a token of the Ling family's gratitude to the Night King and his wife.

Ling Xingmu leaned closer to his elder brother and whispered with a smile, "Thank you, elder brother! I didn't expect my family still cares about me!"

"Stop talking!" Ling Chiye scolded him softly. Ling Xingmu immediately became quiet and didn't dare to say a word.

Ling Chiye stood up again and politely saluted Ye Xiaohan, Yun Mu Jiuxing and others.

Yun Mujiu nodded slightly, and Ye Xiaohan asked, "When will Young Master Ling leave the capital?"

Ling Chiye paused, glanced at the panicked Ling Xingmu, and said, "Your Highness, we should leave after the Yuexi Palace Banquet."

Yun Mujiu said, "If you're not in a hurry, Third Young Master can stay in the capital for a while." He looked at Ling Xingmu and said, "Third Young Master Ling met my Ning Lang when he was a child. You can stay in the capital and visit Ning Lang more often."

Ling Xingmu nodded vigorously, like a rattle. He then went to beg his elder brother and the Night King: "Brother, I want to stay a little longer. If not, why don't you go home first? I'll go back later."

Ye Xiaohan said calmly, "Whether Third Young Master Ling stays or leaves, there is no need to ask for my opinion."

Ling Chiye remained calm as Ling Xingmu continued to shake him. Finally, he couldn't help but tilt his head and glare at Ling Xingmu. He sighed softly and said, "I'll go back and discuss this with my third brother."

Ling Xingmu was overjoyed. At least his elder brother had relented. He didn't dare to go any further and sat back in his original seat obediently.

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan watched the two brothers' interaction calmly, and they also noticed that the third son of the Ling family, who seemed somewhat calm in public, would appear particularly childish in the presence of the eldest son of the Ling family. The eldest son of the Ling family of the Northern Realm, in his conduct, manner, and demeanor, had a certain amount of the majesty of the Northern Realm Governor.

Yun Mujiu glanced at Ye Xiaohan, then stood up and said, "It's time for lunch. Would you two gentlemen like to stay for lunch?"

The two brothers were surprised. It was a rare opportunity for them to visit the Night Prince's Mansion, but they were actually allowed to stay for dinner. The Night Prince and his wife treated them differently from those people, such as the Third Prince who was turned away and the people from the Yun Mansion who were chased away.

Ling Chiye thought for a moment and said gently, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Several people slowly stood up and walked towards the flower hall. Yun Mujiu looked at Ye Xiaohan and said in surprise: "Your Highness, I forgot! We have a guest in our house today!"

Ye Xiaohan's eyebrows moved slightly and he said "hmm".

Yun Mujiu turned around to ask the two brothers for their opinions. Ling Chiye thought for a moment, and Ling Xingmu directly suggested that they dine together, as long as the guest didn't mind.

Ling Chiye was stunned for only a moment, then quickly agreed.

So, the plan of having a meal together was finalized.

Ling Xingmu had met Yun Mujiu several times and had some friendship with her. He also knew that Yun Mujiu was a very easy person to talk to as long as she was not provoked.

He smiled and asked, "Princess Ye, who is the guest visiting the mansion today?"

Yun Mujiu curled his lips into a smile, took Ye Xiaohan's arm and said, "It's the prince's family."

Family? The two brothers' eyes widened, trying to recall which royal family member? But no idea came to their mind.

Yun Mujiu said slowly: "Maybe you know him too, you have all seen him..."

Ling Xingmu pounded his head as he walked, unable to imagine who could have come to the Night Prince's Mansion. Could it be the Seventh Prince? He had been to the Night Prince's Mansion several times.

Ling Chiye lowered his eyes, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Everyone maintained a quiet atmosphere and soon arrived at the flower hall in the front yard.

Yun Mujiu spotted a pink figure from afar and immediately said politely, "This guest would also like to meet the two young masters of the Ling family." He chuckled and said casually, "It's purely a chance encounter today. If it's a coincidence, let's get together and have dinner."

"What a coincidence." His Royal Highness the Night King repeated his wife's words lightly.

On both sides of the entrance to the flower hall, there are two large clusters of pink rose vines, with green leaves setting off the flowers, which looks very beautiful.

In the middle of the flower cluster, a girl in a pink dress stood there with a soft smile on her face.

When she saw the person coming, she was slightly surprised. Yun Mujiu pulled Ye Xiaohan to stand in front of her and introduced the people on both sides.

"Ji Ling, this is Ling Chiye, the eldest son of the Ling family, and this is Ling Xingmu, the third son."

"This is Princess Ji Ling. I'm sure you two are familiar with her, so I won't introduce her any further."

Yun Mujiu sensitively noticed that the atmosphere at the scene seemed to have become a little awkward. What was going on?

Is it because both parties are not very familiar with each other, and it is more awkward when it comes to the opposite sex?

She tugged at Ye Xiaohan's arm, and he lowered his head and curled his lips at her, his eyes signaling that there was no need to worry, and that things would not be like this during dinner later...
