The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Dong Yanran, Liu Qianqian, and several other daughters of the emperor's ministers turned pale with fear. They hadn't forgotten the previous banquet, where Yun Mujiu had forced them to sing on stage, bringing disgrace upon themselves and their families. Upon returning home, they were scolded and humiliated by their father, and their future prospects were severely damaged.

Logically speaking, they should have behaved themselves when facing Princess Ye. However, seeing Princess Manji being so arrogant today, they had misunderstood her. Perhaps following this princess would help them defeat Princess Ye better...

As a result, they all made mistakes!

Besides these young ladies from the capital, several of those brought onto the stage were unfamiliar faces. These delicate young ladies were all from other provinces, mostly from the wealthy southern provinces. They were used to being arrogant in their own territories, and they showed no signs of restraint in the capital. It was time for them to be punished.

Yun Mujiu didn't care whether they were from the capital or other provinces. He made them all line up in a row, with each of them having a fruit on their head.

It wasn't that some people didn't struggle, but whenever they did, Yun Mujiu would swing the darts in his hand. These people were also afraid that Yun Mujiu would kill them in an impulsive move, so they froze in place, not daring to move.

They had nothing to be thankful for. The only thing they could be thankful for at this moment was that Yun Mujiu at least didn't cover his eyes...

Another climax scene took place in the Imperial Garden. People saw Yun Mujiu calmly picking up one sharp dart after another and throwing them quickly at the row of people opposite.

The woman's shrill screams came one after another, and the crisp sound of fruit being cut continued to ring out.

Everyone was in the imperial garden filled with the fragrance of flowers in summer, watching the touching scenes, their hearts beating fast.

Yun Mujiu's three sisters watched with great joy. Bai Yanshuang clapped wildly, "Mujiu is right, there are so many exciting scenes going on today!"

In just a few moments, the faces of the people on the stage all turned pale, their legs trembled wildly, and the fruits on their heads were shot through and nailed into the newly brought wooden targets.

For a while, the scene was extremely quiet, and then screams and cheers like a tide rang out.

Bai Yanshuang stood directly on the chair and shouted, "Great! Mu Jiu is amazing!"

Everyone followed suit in admiration, their faces filled with expressions of genuine conviction, while the people on the stage were all momentarily forgotten.

Yun Mujiu didn't react at all. She left the stage and returned to her original position.

After a round of cheers, the Queen waved her hand to let the people on the stage go down. A series of "thumps" were heard, and Dong Yanran and her group all fell to the ground with weak legs.

Their relatives or friends then cautiously came onto the stage, pulling together these arrogant people who wanted to be in the spotlight but were miserably defeated by Yun Mujiu.

Bei Liyi's face was etched with anxiety as she diligently tended to Bei Manji, who was slumped in a chair. Several Beihan envoys stood behind her, their heads bowed, their faces suffocated and frustrated. Bei Manji looked ill, and none of the Zhongyue people, including the Empress, showed any interest in her or wanted to call a physician.

During a competition at the Moonlit Palace Banquet, Yun Mujiu dazzled all the contestants with his impressive dart-throwing skills, winning the hearts of a new wave of admirers. Many young ladies who had originally been jealous of Yun Mujiu suddenly transformed their jealousy and resentment into envy and admiration.

No one present could think of what skills Yun Mujiu didn't have. They were afraid that they wouldn't have the courage to jump in front of Yun Mujiu when they wanted to find someone to compete with him in the future. They were also afraid that they would be very nervous when competing in some events. After all, with Yun Mujiu as a role model, it would be like showing off their talents in front of him, which would be a laughing stock.

The afternoon tea party continued with a series of singing and dancing performances. From time to time, some young ladies who had prepared some small talent shows in advance took the stage, but after Yun Mujiu's brilliant performance, the crowd didn't have much interest in the subsequent performances.

Some people were still secretly grumbling about the nosy Bei Manji, Liu Qianqian, Dong Yanran, and the others. If it weren't for them, Yun Mujiu wouldn't have gotten to perform on stage, and how could he have deterred the others from performing later? Blade-like resentment swept across Bei Manji and her group.

...

In the Qianqing Palace, the topics of discussion among civil and military officials were no longer about state affairs, but they focused their attention on the tea party in the imperial garden.

The news that Yun Mujiu had people line up to serve as dart targets also spread in the hall.

Meng Ninglang, Wei Bai and the other two opened their mouths wide in surprise and said, "Your Highness, it turns out that the princess can really throw darts."

Ye Xiaohan raised his sword-like eyebrows and said "hmm" lightly.

A slender figure like jade slowly put down the teacup and called a few officials over in a cold voice.

Meng Ninglang took a look and realized that these officials were not the family members of the young lady who had targeted Mu Jiu. It seemed that the Night King was going to vent his anger on Mu Jiu's behalf.

As expected, after Ye Xiaohan summoned the officials, he did not say a word and just refused to let them stand up, leaving them kneeling there trembling.

The emperor was talking to the seventh prince and several ministers, but suddenly his eyes lingered on Ye Xiaohan.

In fact, he still had many things he wanted to clarify during today's Moonlit Palace Banquet...

Eunuch Li walked in from outside the hall and whispered a few words to the emperor.

"The Empress Dowager suddenly summoned Yun Mujiu? For a follow-up consultation?" The Emperor pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is the Empress Dowager okay?"

"Your Majesty, the people at Renshou Palace said that the Empress Dowager is doing well, and Princess Ye's treatment is very effective."

The emperor waved his hand, his expression slightly complicated.

At this time, another eunuch came to report to the emperor that two princes who were far away from the capital were about to arrive in the capital.

This news also caused a stir at the scene. Most people were confused. What kind of prince was there?

Some people who didn't know much about the royal family's internal affairs scratched their heads, while some experienced ministers reminded people to mention two people, the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince's expressions immediately turned grim, while the Seventh Prince still had that evil smile on his face without any change in expression.

Ye Xiaohan sipped his tea calmly, seemingly not paying attention to the commotion in the hall.

He said calmly to Wei Bai's subordinates, "The Fourth Prince Ye Churui and the Eighth Prince Ye Chuxiang have made a rare appearance."

...

"The fourth prince? The eighth prince?" Yun Mujiu frowned and looked at Dong Yu who had just returned from the Qianqing Palace.

It seems that these two princes are the new characters who appeared in the palace banquet that Ye Xiaohan mentioned.

Yun Mujiu nodded and asked Dong Yu to step aside.

The talent show on the stage came to a hasty end, and the next period of time was the real Moonlight Eve Dinner.

The Queen led everyone out of the Imperial Garden and prepared to go to a new palace to report to the Emperor's male guests, and then hold a moonlit dinner in the palace.

Everyone walked away in a hurry, and the person who was frightened by Yun Mujiu's dart not long ago was also supported and dragged away.

When they were about to arrive at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Queen turned around and saw the haggard appearance of Bei Manji and her group. She waved her hand and told them to go to the side hall to tidy up their appearance first. Others who needed to go to the side hall could also go to dress up and prepare for the evening banquet.

As for the others, they followed the queen directly into the palace.

Yun Mujiu walked slowly, thinking: Is another and the most important scene of the Yuexi Palace Banquet finally going to be staged?
