The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The walls are red and the tiles are yellow. On the raised eaves are beads of raindrops that have fallen from the puddles on the roof tiles.

After thinking for a while, Yun Mujiu quickly calmed down and turned to talk to Nanny Kong.

She carefully inquired about the Empress Dowager's recent situation, and learned from Nanny Kong that the Empress Dowager's health was getting better, but she had never left the palace to interact with others. Even the Emperor had been refused a visit several times.

After a while, Yun Mujiu arrived at Renshou Palace. As she walked in, all the palace servants bowed and greeted her with extraordinary respect, their faces filled with gratitude. If Yun Mujiu hadn't rescued the empress dowager several times in the past, she would have been in great danger, and who knows what her current situation would be.

As soon as Yun Mujiu entered the hall, he saw the graceful and elegant old man.

She knelt and saluted, and the Queen Mother waved her hand for her to stand up quickly.

While exchanging pleasantries, Yun Mujiu immediately took the Queen Mother's pulse. She saw that her face was no longer as pale as before, her cheeks were slightly rosy, and her eyes were brighter.

Yun Mujiu smiled and said, "Your pulse is steady, Queen Mother. I think the treatment you've been doing these days has been quite effective."

"It's all thanks to you, kid. If you weren't here, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you today." The queen mother smiled lightly, and her eyes looked at Yun Mujiu with a bit more kindness.

Yun Mujiu nodded and said with high emotional intelligence: "That is also because you, Queen Mother, are blessed by heaven. God also favors you."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but burst out laughing, feeling genuinely pleased by Yun Mujiu's sweet words.

Yun Mujiu stood up, opened the medicine box that Fusang was carrying, and gave the empress dowager some newly-added medicines from the Herbal Hall. These medicines were very effective for the empress dowager's weak body due to coronary heart disease.

Among them, a plaster made of white glass is very conspicuous.

Yun Mujiu introduced: "This is a beauty cream made from the colorful Ganoderma lucidum that I cultivated myself."

The Queen Mother was amazed and happily accepted it. With a flick of her hand, she immediately and decisively offered to reward Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu politely declined, but the Queen Mother insisted on sending it. Finally, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "After the Yuexi Palace Banquet is over, I will send a gift to your house."

He added another reminder: "You and the Night King, both of you must be well."

Yun Mujiu nodded and asked again, "Queen Dowager, aren't you going to attend the palace banquet?"

"I'm old, and I don't have the heart for all the hustle and bustle." The Queen Mother lowered her eyes, raised an eyebrow, and asked again, "How is your grandfather's health?"

Yun Mujiu did not hide anything and told everything about Duke Meng's recent physical condition. He was in much better spirits, but the old injuries accumulated over the years on the battlefield made it inevitable that the old veteran who had just rested would have some residual injuries.

Yun Mujiu tried his best to alleviate the old man's pain, but the old man's degenerated physical functions were ultimately not as good as those of a young person, and his energy and attention were inevitably limited. Duke Meng did not like to go out, so he stayed at home to enjoy his retirement.

The Queen Mother listened to the words quietly, and asked Mu Jiu to pay more attention to Duke Meng. After all, He was no longer with her, and the only elderly person who was related to Mu Jiu by blood was Duke Meng, so she should cherish him more.

Yun Mujiu agreed to all of them, and sighed in her heart that the empress dowager suddenly summoned her over because she really wanted to find out about her grandfather's situation.

At this time, the Queen Mother looked tired, and Yun Mujiu also took the initiative to leave.

Just as she was about to leave, the Queen Mother spoke again: "There are many people on Yuexi, so you should be more careful, child."

Yun Mujiu nodded in agreement, realizing that the Queen Mother might have another purpose for summoning her today. One was to rescue her from the Queen, and the other was to remind her to be more cautious when attending large palace banquets...

The Empress Dowager sent Madam Kong to escort Yun Mujiu to the gate of Renshou Palace. Yun Mujiu refused to let her be escorted any further, saying that he wanted to go to the Imperial Garden by himself.

Outside the palace gate, however, a beautiful sedan chair and four bearers were already waiting for her. Dong Yu opened her round eyes and smiled widely.

Yun Mujiu asked and found out that this was the sedan chair that Ye Xiaohan sent specially for her.

Nanny Kong smiled and joked, "The Night King is so thoughtful. He treats his princess so well!"

Yun Mujiu's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stepped gracefully onto the sedan chair and headed towards the imperial garden.

In fact, even if the Queen Mother did not remind her today, she knew that this Moonlit Palace Banquet would definitely not go smoothly. Whenever there was a large-scale event, there would always be people who wanted to cause trouble.

That was fine, since she and Ye Xiaohan would both enjoy the show and even participate in some of the drama themselves...

When Yun Mujiu arrived at the open space in the Imperial Garden, almost all the female guests were there, and a small number of them went to stroll around nearby.

Dong Yu whispered, "Princess, the prince said that there might be some new people at today's banquet. In addition to Prince Nan Taisen, Prince Zhongyue, who is far away in other places, may also come back."

Yun Mujiu hummed, then began searching his memory for information about Emperor Haolian's children. Besides the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, and the Seventh Prince, who were currently in the capital, Emperor Haolian actually had several other princes and princesses who were completely invisible. However, most of them lived far from the capital, so no one had noticed them. Occasionally, a few princes and princesses would return to the capital, but they rarely caused any disturbance and were considered insignificant.

After a brief calculation, Yun Mujiu got off the sedan chair and walked forward several steps.

The luncheon was held in an open area, and the seating arrangement followed the traditional rules. The Queen, as the host, sat on the high phoenix chair, and below her sat in order of personal status.

As soon as Yun Mujiu appeared at the banquet venue, the chattering sounds around him stopped immediately. It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground.

Yun Mujiu felt very stressed as she felt all kinds of gazes coming towards her. Please, she was not a mascot, so why did she attract attention wherever she went?

She also heard some women exclaiming in exaggerated voices. Glancing over, she found some unfamiliar faces, probably women from other provinces.

Some people couldn't believe it: "Is she really the Night Princess?"

Someone firmly replied, "Nonsense, absolutely true. I've heard that Princess Ye is incredibly beautiful. Who else could this stunning woman be but Princess Ye?"

Someone else was puzzled: "Didn't they say before that the eldest daughter of the Yun family was a useless and ugly woman with an extremely ugly appearance?"

Someone yelled, "Shut up right there! That was all before. Her behavior now is completely different. Besides, maybe she was just hiding her incompetence before. Also, she and Prime Minister Yun have severed their father-daughter relationship, so don't even mention her in the Yun Mansion together. Watch out for your head!"

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly, as if she didn't hear the waves of discussion about her around her.

On the other side of the venue, Princess Ji Ling, Bai Yanshuang and You Luoyan heard the commotion here and rushed over to chat with Yun Mujiu.

"Mu Jiu, what kind of excitement do you think we can see at this year's Moon Festival?"

Yun Mujiu raised the corner of his lips and said, "I guess it will be very exciting. It concerns our Zhongyue internal affairs. The royal families of other countries should also have exciting things to watch..."
