The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Bei Liyi stared at the emperor and empress in high positions, trying to regain face from the most authoritative people.

Just now, the emperor noticed that Yun Xiang told others that Yun Mujiu had not been replaced, and he himself had confirmed Yun Mujiu's identity with Yun Xiang early in the morning.

The current Princess Ye is indeed the former Yun Mujiu. It is reasonable that Yun Mujiu pretended to be stupid in the past, and revealed her true appearance after marrying into the Ye Mansion.

The emperor looked down and glanced at Yun Mujiu and Bei Liyi.

Even if the emperor disliked Yun Mujiu, he would not offend the Zhongyue royal family in the presence of outsiders.

He looked down again and looked at Bei Liyi with serious eyes.

Bei Liyi shivered uncontrollably, realizing that she had spoken impulsively and might have angered the Emperor and Empress of Zhongyue. She hurriedly lowered her head, showing a humble attitude.

Yun Mujiu turned to face the Emperor and Empress and smiled slightly, "Empress, Empress, may I explain first?"

The emperor and the queen looked at each other, guessed that Yun Mujiu had other plans, and then nodded at Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu said solemnly: "First of all, I did not say anything to humiliate Princess Bei Liyi during the conversation. There was not a single uncivilized word. So the princess's personal understanding of it as 'humiliation' may be a little inappropriate."

"Secondly, 'a woman is like water' is a good phrase, and it is a compliment." Yun Mujiu said righteously: "A woman is like water, which shows that she has noble qualities. She has many excellent qualities, such as the tranquility, gentleness, tenacity, clarity, purity, etc. of water."

Yun Mujiu pouted slightly, looking aggrieved. "Your Majesty, Queen, I don't know what I did wrong..."

Bei Liyi was completely dumbfounded and stood there in shock.

This Yun Mujiu can turn black into white. It sounds like I have misunderstood and Yun Mujiu has been wronged.

Ye Xiaohan looked at Yun Mujiu with deep eyes, and others could not see the faint smile in his heart.

Yun Mujiu always talks a lot and seems to be making a lot of sense.

Ye Xiaohan thought that Yun Mujiu's words "women are like water" sounded quite reasonable. But Yun Mujiu and Bei Liyi said "water in the head", which is different from the concept of "women are like water" in terms of meaning and praise and criticism.

The emperor understood Yun Mujiu's thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Princess Ye, what you said makes sense."

The queen smiled gently and continued, "Princess Ye used water as a metaphor for people, which is very novel and interesting."

Many smart people among the onlookers nodded and started chatting about the quality of water.

Ye Chufeng smiled evilly and said to himself, "I don't quite understand what Aunt Huang said, but it seems to make sense."

The prince cast a glance at Ye Chufeng, then looked at Yun Mujiu. It must be said that Yun Mujiu's IQ is still online, but it's a pity that she is with Ye Xiaohan...

Bei Liyi felt at a loss, not knowing what to do next, and tried to guess Yun Mujiu's specific intentions in her mind.

Ye Xiaohan suddenly spoke up, saying slowly, "I think what the princess said is very good. Bei Liyi, if you continue to pester my princess, you will die."

The calm words concealed a cold warning and murderous intent. Some people who were very afraid of Ye Xiaohan couldn't help but tremble and shrank back into the crowd. They could see that Ye Xiaohan was not joking.

The emperor's pupils suddenly dilated. He didn't expect Ye Xiaohan to be so arrogant just to be with Yun Mujiu, and not even give others any face at such an important occasion as a state banquet.

Bei Liyi’s heart almost stopped beating. How could Ye Xiaohan be so cruel!

She hurriedly looked at Ye Xiaohan, trying to calm down. Ye Xiaohan actually took the initiative to talk to her? Although Ye Xiaohan spoke for Yun Mujiu, at least it was the first time he spoke to her!

Bei Liyi looked over again and found that Ye Xiaohan didn't even give her a glance.

Ye Xiaohan poured a glass of wine, then raised the glass to look at the emperor and said lightly: "Brother Emperor, I offer you a toast."

The emperor smiled and raised his glass to Ye Xiaohan.

Bei Liyi was unwilling to accept that Yun Mujiu had not been blamed or punished, so she turned and looked at the queen.

The Queen did not want to tolerate Bei Liyi's trouble any longer, and her eyes were full of warning. Concubine Yu also stared at Bei Liyi fiercely.

When Bei Liyi thought of Ye Xiaohan's cold words and murderous temperament, she could only shut her mouth and remain silent.

Yun Shirou's originally happy heart calmed down, and she pinched Yao Leyi next to her in anger. How hateful! Yun Mujiu escaped! Is Bei Liyi a waste? Yun Mujiu easily controlled her with just a few words...

After Ye Xiaohan and the emperor drank a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the palace was rekindled. The ministers and princes also went to toast the emperor again.

The Queen waved her hand and the musicians and dancers began their performance again.

Yun Mujiu returned to his seat and smiled softly at Ye Xiaohan, "Why doesn't the prince give Princess Beihan a little face?"

"Just Beihan, not worthy."

Yun Mujiu moved closer to Ye Xiaohan and raised his thumb, "Your Majesty is so majestic!"

Ye Xiaohan handed Yun Mujiu a cup of tea, "Mumu is so smart!" He was referring to the fact that Yun Mujiu had just fought back against Bei Liyi.

Yun Mujiu took a sip of water and raised his eyebrows. "How was it? Was the joke about the water in the head funny?"

"Funny. I've never seen anything so funny."

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan were talking when she felt two pairs of gazes coming towards her from somewhere.

She opened her eyelids and looked over, and saw Bei Liyi biting her lip somewhere diagonally opposite her, with jealousy and viciousness in her eyes.

Yun Mujiu couldn't help but ask: "Prince, do you know Bei Liyi?"

"do not know."

"Then why is she staring at us? She even took the initiative to pick a fight with me just now, and I don't even know her."

"Maybe he wants to make a high-profile appearance by chatting you up."

Ye Xiaohan added: "The Emperor of Beihan once killed all his brothers with his brutal and ruthless style and seized the throne from the previous Emperor of Beihan. Bei Liyi's biological mother was a famous prostitute."

Yun Mujiu understood and whispered, "It seems that the current emperor of Beihan has a bad reputation, and Bei Liyi is not a favored princess in Beihan."

"Ah."

Yun Mujiu glanced at Bei Liyi who was still staring at them, and forced an aggrieved expression as if for fun.

"I think Bei Liyi seems to be interested in you, Your Majesty. Otherwise, why would she keep looking at us and even targeted me just now?"

Ye Xiaohan stuffed a grape into Yun Mujiu's mouth and said calmly, "I don't even know her."

"Although you don't know Bei Liyi, she may have been thinking about you for a long time." Yun Mujiu swallowed the grapes and murmured, "But this is just a guess. Maybe I had a bad reputation before, and Bei Liyi wanted to use me as an example to elevate herself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the third performance ended. A eunuch shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

The queen stood up slowly, smiling gently, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Yun Mujiu.
