The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as soon as Yun Mujiu and his group entered the hall, they attracted countless gazes.

The queen stood in the front, smiling dignifiedly.

At this time, the male guests that Haolian Di had brought with him had already taken their seats, quietly waiting for the arrival of another wave of guests.

After another round of greetings, all the people in the hall began to take their seats again.

Ye Xiaohan sat in the first seat on the right, and Yun Mujiu sat next to him.

Ye Xiaohan's handsome face was calm as he looked up at Yun Mujiu. "Are you exhausted?"

Yun Mujiu smiled and shook his head: "Your Highness, you don't know how much fun I had in the Imperial Garden."

At this time, a group of eunuchs and palace maids rushed into the hall, bringing tea and wine and moving around among different seats.

Yun Mujiu, concealed by the long mahogany table in front of him, quietly touched the back of a man's hand. The man's eyebrows raised slightly, and the next moment, a cold, large hand returned his grip.

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly, leaning her upper body towards Ye Xiaohan, and whispered something to him. From her domineering manner at Huaqing Gate, to meeting the Queen and testing her, to her follow-up appointment with the Queen Mother. Finally, she attended the flower viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden and slapped the faces of those who deliberately provoked trouble. After such a long series of tasks, she didn't feel tired at all, but instead found it very fun and interesting.

Isn’t there a saying that goes, “When people do bad things, they don’t feel tired at all.”

What's more, what she did was not a bad thing, but a good thing. She was actively maintaining the normal order of the banquet.

Ye Xiaohan raised the corner of his lips slightly, and looked calmly at the woman beside him who was chattering non-stop.

There were people walking around in the hall, while others were sitting. Most of these people were silently paying attention to Zhongyue's Regent and his wife, and they glanced over cautiously several times.

The families of officials from other provinces also widened their eyes when they saw Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu getting along harmoniously for the first time.

They had attended some large palace banquets held in the capital before, but it was rare to see the Night King at such banquets. Now, not only was it rare to see the Night King dressed in finery, but they also saw him having close conversation with a woman.

Everyone sighed inwardly: Sure enough, the waves of news they received from the capital this year were all true. Prince Ye really has fallen in love with a woman! That Princess Ye does indeed look like an extraordinary woman!

Yunmu Jiuba Lala had a long conversation, and just when she stopped, she received a cup of tea from the caring man next to her.

She took a big sip of the cool tea and suddenly asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you look surprised at all that I can use darts?"

"Because I believe in Mu Mu." The big hand holding Yun Mujiu's wrist tightened again.

Yun Mujiu was stunned and smiled: "That's great, the prince really trusts his wife's ability."

"This is the 'surprise' that Mu Mu talked about when they were together as a couple, right?" Ye Xiao said coldly.

Yun Mujiu nodded fiercely: "I didn't expect that the prince still remembered it."

She had previously told Ye Xiaohan that in relationships, it's sometimes helpful to keep some of your personal strengths and traits secret until later, when the time is right, to reveal them. This unexpected surprise can create a greater sense of exploration. Ye Xiaohan always took to heart the words she'd spoken, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"Princess Ye." A sudden voice of summons suddenly sounded in the bustling hall.

Yun Mujiu turned his head and saw Bei Manji standing up in a new outfit. Her face was now heavily made up, her hair was combed, and her clothes were gorgeous, though the color was a duller red than her previous outfit.

In Bei Manji's body, the arrogance and contempt she had when she first attended the banquet seemed to have been worn away a lot. At this moment, she was like a loser who fell into the water. She could only muster up the courage and try to struggle to express the anger in her heart.

"What can I do for you?" Yun Mujiu secretly grabbed Ye Xiaohan's hand, signaling him not to move.

Almost at the same time, the hall fell completely silent, and everyone began to pay attention to the situation here, either quietly or openly.

"Princess Ye." Bei Manji tried to stand straight and said unwillingly, "You can actually use darts, and you're so good at it. Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Yun Mujiu was bewildered: "Why should I tell you? Besides, you didn't even ask!"

Bei Manji pursed her lips and said directly: "At that time, I didn't know that you were so good at using darts."

Yun Mujiu smiled. "So you're just disappointed. You feel I'm not as bad as you imagined. So, this competition might be a little unfair. You picked the ones you know, and you assumed I wasn't good at this."

Yun Mujiu's words made sense. Princess Manji didn't look like she was admitting defeat. Instead, she looked frustrated that things hadn't gone as planned.

Bei Manji's face froze, and the red lipstick she had just painted seemed to fade even further. Bei Liyi, standing behind her, didn't dare move. She didn't dare to step forward and provoke Yun Mujiu directly, so she could only stand there and do nothing.

Bei Manji shook her head at Yun Mujiu and explained weakly, "That's not what I meant. The reason we had a dart competition is that many of our Beihan people use darts, and since I've seen that Princess Ye is multi-talented, I thought that perhaps you also have some pretty good skills in using darts."

Yun Mujiu laughed and said nothing more. After all, everyone present could understand that the reason why the Beihan Grand Princess carefully chose darts was because she thought she had her own strengths and wanted to use her strengths to compete with others' weaknesses. Such a competition seemed petty and unfair.

Bei Manji bit her lip and changed the subject, then asked again: "You actually know some skills in using darts, then why when you were blindfolded and using darts, you held the darts but refused to shoot for a long time?" She was almost scared to death on the spot!

"Are you teasing me and the guests present?"

"What are you kidding?" Yun Mujiu stood up, looking thoughtful.

After a while, she said calmly, "The reason I didn't act quickly wasn't because I didn't know how, nor was it because I was pretending. I was just feeling the wind."

At this moment, all the guests who had watched the scene had a variety of expressions on their faces. It turned out that the princess wasn't incompetent at the time, but was feeling the strength and direction of the wind to infer the force and direction of her attack.

Everyone was buzzing with discussion, marveling at the sheer skill of Yun Mujiu's attack. A blindfolded dart thrower, yet able to precisely factor in such minute details as wind direction and force, clearly was a true expert!

Princess Ye is truly an extraordinary woman!
