The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu and Ji Ling stood under a shady tree, and the girls happily started chatting with Yun Mujiu again.

Princess Ji Ling said that she was called to the banquet venue by the Queen early, so she was unable to enter the palace with Mu Jiu, nor could she come to play together earlier.

You Luoyan looked a little serious and whispered that many guests, whether inside or outside the capital, were gossiping about Yun Mujiu.

Bai Yanshuang flicked her ponytail and pointed out some key figures who were indeed opponents of the Ye Palace. Among them were the troublesome ladies who attended the previous banquet, Dong Yanran, the legitimate daughter of Master Dong, who had recently gained considerable favor with the Emperor, and Liu Qianqian, the legitimate daughter of the Dali Temple Minister.

Yun Mujiu didn't react much, but simply said, "They'd better behave themselves. If they want to end up like Gao Yang, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Before the last banquet started, she and Ye Xiaohan had just taught a group of women who were gossiping and causing trouble a lesson. If this group of people didn't learn their lesson, she wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson again to scare them.

...

In the Qianqing Palace, the Night King was still the focus of everyone present, but no one dared to look directly at him. They just glanced at him cautiously with the corner of their eyes occasionally.

Ye Xiaohan was tall and as white as jade. He was standing in the middle of a small group of people, talking to them indifferently.

The emperor, sitting on the high throne, was accepting tea from several ministers, but he couldn't help but look at Ye Xiaohan from time to time, especially at Ye Xiaohan's legs.

He still couldn't believe it. How could Ye Xiaohan recover, and how could he recover so quickly!

The prince sat dejectedly aside, his face as pale as a dead man.

The other court officials saw this but didn't dare to come over. They were wondering in their hearts whether the prince's body was completely ruined after being poisoned by the medicine of the Divine Doctor Beihan.

Stay away, stay away! It’s better for them to stay away from the prince!

The third prince sat next to the crown prince, and his expression wasn't much better.

His property was severely damaged by arson, and the real culprit has yet to be found. He also recently offended the Night King, which made him lose all face and lose all ambition. The thought of Yun Mujiu treating the consumptive Ye Chuhe made him even more upset.

The neutral minister from the Right Prime Minister's faction took a look at the Third Prince's appearance. The Right Prime Minister shook his head helplessly, thinking that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, whom the Emperor once valued, now seemed completely useless!

At the moment, it is the seventh prince who is feeling very proud.

The Seventh Prince stood surrounded by a small group of people. Although he still had that devilish smile on his face, his words and actions also reflected the bearing and demeanor of a prince. Looking closely, he was quite the man.

The two young masters of the Ling family from the Northern Territory attended Zhongyue's palace banquet for the first time, and were noticed by many people.

Countless people, curious about or wanting to curry favor with the Northern Realm, gathered around, trying to find topics to chat with Ling Chiye and Ling Xingmu. The Emperor had just spoken to the two brothers for quite a while, and Ling Chiye remained perfectly composed, interacting with the Emperor with neither servility nor arrogance, maintaining the unique demeanor of the Northern Realm Ling family. This in turn made the ministers hold the Northern Realm Ling family in a higher regard.

There was constant sound of conversation in the hall, but some people were as still as a cow.

Yun Xiang, who was covered in dust, looked at Ye Xiaohan's back from afar, feeling jealous. He wanted to go up and say hello to Ye Xiaohan, but Meng Shihao and Meng Ninglang blocked his way in advance.

He was furious! But what could he do? Besides, if he rashly went to greet him at this time, he might offend the Night King and make him dislike him even more!

Yun Xiang returned to his original position in dejection and once again received the mocking words from his colleagues around him.

The reality he faces now is cruel and lonely. The Yun family is in decline, his wife and children are separated, and he has been severed from his father by his only promising daughter. His daughter and son-in-law don't recognize him. He is simply a huge joke!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Qianqing Hall was a little subtle, and everyone had different thoughts.

Some people shifted their attention and wanted to know what was going on at the flower banquet for the female guests on the other side.

I’m actually looking forward to the grand scene of us sitting together at the table later. It’s bound to be exciting and interesting!

...

The flower banquet in the imperial garden has been carried out as usual. Under the leadership of the queen, everyone dispersed and moved freely to see the floral landscape that had been arranged in advance around the banquet venue.

The flowers in the garden are colorful and vying for beauty. Even before you get close to see them, you can already smell the fragrance of the flowers.

Most of the flowers and plants planted in the Imperial Garden were either extremely valuable or rare. To prepare for this flower banquet, the Empress had sent in advance special flowers and plants from various regions, including some precious flowers from the Northern Han, Western Yi, Southern Tai, and even the Eastern Empire.

The female official explained and introduced some flowers, which surprised some ladies and young ladies.

Yun Mujiu is not very interested in growing flowers and plants. She is actually more interested in growing medicinal herbs.

However, the feast offered a wide variety of flowers, and Yun Mujiu considered it a chance to see something new and expand her knowledge. Perhaps she could even learn about some new flowers, which also had medicinal value, further expanding her knowledge base as a doctor.

Yun Mujiu stood beside a cluster of flowers with yellow stamens and white petals, quietly listening to the introduction of a female official not far away.

This flower is called "Taiping Flower". Each flower is full and almost composed of four petals. The petals are obovate, pure milky white and elegant. When the flower blooms, it forms a disk shape, which is neat and majestic.

As for its meaning? It's also excellent. The magnolia symbolizes prosperity and prosperity, and a stable family and country—it's a good omen.

Yun Mujiu sighed that the Queen had really put a lot of thought into organizing the banquet.

As she was thinking, she smelled a faint fragrance.

"Princess Ye." The two princesses of Beihan came over on their own initiative.

Bei Manji pointed to the clusters of flowers in full bloom and said with a faint smile, "Princess Ye is also particularly interested in flowers."

Yun Mujiu took a step to the side and said calmly, "I'm not interested, I'm just watching."

Bei Manji smiled, walked closer to the flowers, and continued, "Although we don't have much vegetation in Beihan, and the variety of flowers isn't as abundant as in Zhongyue, we still have quite a few unique flowers. If Princess Ye has the chance in the future, why don't you go and see them? Then Li Yi and I can personally entertain you."

Yun Mujiu shook his head. "It's too far. I don't like traveling far. Besides, my body can't handle it."

Bei Manji showed a look of regret and sighed, "What a pity!" Bei Liyi also said a few words of regret.

If Yun Mujiu hadn't still remembered that these two people had tried to suppress her not long ago, she would have thought that they were truly thinking about her now.

Yun Mujiu suddenly said, "Princess, do you still remember Gao Yang?"

The two were stunned, and Bei Liyi asked first: "Why mention her?"

Yun Mujiu smiled: "Nothing. I just suddenly thought of Gao Yang, and the process of her killing herself step by step."

So, princesses, you two who have come all the way from Beihan, please behave yourself, don't forget to remind me...
