The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Many major events have happened in the capital recently, and they are all related to the Yun Mansion and the Ye Mansion.

Yun Mujiu married the God of War Ye Xiaohan; after getting married, Yun Mujiu dismissed the dowry servants from the Yun Mansion and broke off relations with the Yun Mansion; Yun Mujiu restored her appearance; Ye Xiaohan doted on Yun Mujiu; Yun Mujiu angrily rebuked and retaliated against the green tea sister Yun Shirou; Yun Mujiu used her medical skills to save the people who were poisoned, and so on.

Every single incident is enough to cause discussion among people in Beijing.

Another thing that everyone didn't know was that Yun Mujiu went to the Yun Mansion to treat the people and charged a high fee. If this matter were to spread, it would definitely become a hot topic in Beijing in the near future...

Yun Xiang glanced at the crowd coldly, and those who were lower in status than him immediately turned their heads away, retracting their gazes that were filled with derogatory undertones of scrutiny, curiosity, gossip, ridicule, etc.

Some of Yun Xiang's subordinates noticed Yun Xiang's awkward situation and greeted him with a smile. In order to ease the current embarrassment, Yun Xiang handed the visiting card to Ye and turned to talk to his subordinates.

A purple-dressed woman had just arrived at the scene and lined up behind Yun Shirou. She looked Yun Shirou up and down, "Whose maid is this? Why is she wearing such heavy makeup?"

Her blue-clad sister looked at Yun Shirou's back and continued, "Prime Minister Yun is a first-rank minister, so the maids in his mansion are naturally more impressive."

Yun Shirou immediately became angry, with a cold light in her eyes, and turned back to glare at the two women. She said in dissatisfaction: "Who do you two say is a maid?"

The purple-clothed woman was stunned. How could a maid dare to be so arrogant? She retorted, "Aren't you a maid?"

Yun Shirou rolled her eyes in anger and looked at the clothes she had spent a lot of effort to save up money to have made. After all, the material and style of the clothes were not as good as those worn by some of the young ladies and ladies present.

Who let that damn Yun Mu Jiujuan take away all the money in the Yun Mansion, leaving her with no money to make good enough clothes!

Yun Shirou stretched her neck and shouted, "I'm not a maid, I'm Yun Shirou, the legitimate daughter of the Yun family!"

The woman in blue covered the mouth of the woman in purple and apologized, "It turns out to be Miss Yun Er. Please don't be angry. This sister of mine just came to Beijing this year and can't recognize your identity."

She looked a little guilty, and thought to herself: How come Yun Shirou has changed so much, with heavy makeup on, she looks neither serious nor pretty! I can't recognize her for a moment!

The purple-clothed woman was somewhat reluctant, but after all, her father's official position was not as high as Yun Xiang, so she whispered, "I'm sorry, I saw it wrong."

"Hmph!" Yun Shirou couldn't make trouble anymore since the other party was willing to give in, but she still suppressed her anger in her heart.

Yun Shirou is arrogant and proud. She is loved and respected by Prime Minister Yun and favored by the prince, so she naturally offends some people.

In addition, Yun Mujiu had exposed Yun Shirou's true green tea character several times in public, and Yun Shirou had hooked up with the prince before Yun Mujiu's marriage was divorced. Many noble ladies and girls from wealthy families disliked Yun Shirou even more.

Then, some women started chatting one after another.

A woman with a dashing outfit and a heroic face spoke first: "What is the Yun Mansion's legitimate daughter? I remember her name is Yun Mujiu, right?"

"Yes, Yun Shang married the daughter of Duke Meng that year. The daughter born to Meng was named Yun Mujiu. She was the only legitimate daughter!"

A lady joined the conversation and said, "Alas! After Mrs. Meng passed away, Prime Minister Yun married Mrs. Ye into the mansion, and then promoted Mrs. Ye from a concubine to his wife."

The dashing woman said, "That doesn't make sense, does it?"

Others continued, "Indeed. It was the support of the Meng family that allowed the Yun family to live a good life..."

...

Some of the people who joined the topic had stronger backgrounds than Yun Xiang, and more and more people started talking about it. So everyone stopped caring about it and started chatting enthusiastically.

Yun Shirou's face became more and more embarrassed, but she didn't dare to argue with so many people at the same time.

Ye's face didn't look very good either. She used to have a good reputation, but ever since Yun Mujiu became famous, her good image has plummeted.

Ye gritted her teeth and said to Yun Shirou, "Be patient. We can't get into conflict with others right now."

"Mother!"

"Shirou, don't forget your purpose in entering the palace!"

Yun Shirou immediately lost her temper, bit her lip and endured it, her hatred for Yun Mujiu grew even deeper.

Not long after, Ye Mansion's carriage gradually arrived near the main gate of Huaqing Palace.

There was no one queuing up at this time, only a few maids and palace maids who were checking the visiting cards were still standing there.

The nanny and the palace maid were still discussing what had just happened.

"The second young lady of the Yun family looked so aggrieved just now, and she didn't dare to refute the truth told by the other young ladies and wives! How can she be a legitimate daughter? Princess Ye is the real legitimate daughter of the Yun family!"

"Yes, I always feel that Miss Yun has become a different person. She looks fiercer and her clothes and makeup are not as good as before."

"This is her true face."

"But didn't Princess Ye have a falling out with the Yun Mansion? Princess Ye probably doesn't like having anything to do with the Yun Mansion!"

"It's good for Princess Ye to be beautiful all by herself. Neither Ye nor Second Miss Yun are good people. I heard that they abused the children left by their first wives for many years!"

The carriage of the Ye Mansion stopped at the door, and the nanny and the palace maid immediately fell silent.

The driver showed the Yefu token to Mammy, and Mammy's expression changed drastically. She said with some fear and some respect, "Please!"

People of Ye Xiaohan's status do not need to queue up to check the post to enter the palace. They can even take a carriage into the palace without getting off the car and walking.

The coachman let out a "whoosh" and drove the carriage into the palace again.

Yun Mujiu lifted the curtain and looked out of the car window.

"Your Highness, the last time I entered the palace, I walked. I thought the palace was quite grand the first time I came here, but now that it's my second time, I don't feel anything like it."

Ye Xiaohan said: "There is nothing special about the scenery in the palace, except that the architectural style is somewhat unique. If you look closely, you won't find anything special."

A trace of confusion flashed in Ye Xiaohan's eyes. How could Yun Mujiu's last visit to the palace to express gratitude be her first visit? Logically speaking, Yun Mujiu was the daughter of Prime Minister Yun, so she would have participated in several palace banquets.

Ye Xiaohan asked, "Hasn't Mu Mu been to the palace before?"

Yun Mujiu lowered the curtain and turned to look at Ye Xiaohan. She realized that her words "first time entering the palace" had confused Ye Xiaohan.

It was indeed her first time to enter the palace to express gratitude after her wedding, and the woman who entered the palace before was not her...

Yun Mujiu explained, "I have been to the palace before, but I was mostly a marginal figure and never took the time to observe the palace's scenery. A few days ago, I came here as Princess Ye, and it was only then that I had the thought of carefully observing the palace environment for the first time, so I said 'first time'."

Ye Xiaohan did not doubt him and said, "There is nothing good about this place. Mu Mu and I are just here."

"Okay." Yun Mujiu opened the curtains again. "Anyway, I feel that the palace is quite depressing. I don't like staying here."

Ye Xiaohan followed Yun Mujiu's gaze and looked out the window, and asked casually, "Does Mumu know anything about the Tianji Dynasty?"
