The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Bai Yanshuang felt her arm tighten, and then a force pulled her up. Her body was still not stable due to inertia, so the force exerted on her arm did not decrease at all.

Bai Yanshuang glanced over and met Meng Ninglang's concerned gaze.

Meng Ninglang asked, "Miss Bai, are you okay?"

Bai Yanshuang was slightly stunned, her eyes moved downwards and stopped at Meng Ninglang's big hand that was holding her arm.

"I... I... I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Meng, for your help." She didn't react for a moment, and the crowd was so crowded that if Meng Ninglang hadn't held her steady, she would probably fall down and might even be trampled by others.

Meng Ninglang looked at Bai Yanshuang's uncomfortable expression, then looked at his hand. He quickly pulled his hand away, "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend Miss Bai, but I lost my composure in a hurry."

Bai Yanshuang regained her composure and smiled heartily: "Mr. Meng, there is no need to apologize. I have to thank you for your help."

Meng Ninglang touched his head a little embarrassedly, looking at the crowd surging around him, "Let's leave here first."

"it is good."

The two kept a certain distance and walked through the crowd together until they walked onto another street, where they stopped.

"Miss Bai..."

"Mr. Meng..."

They both spoke at the same time, and then said in unison: "You speak first..."

Bai Yanshuang and Meng Ninglang laughed at the same time. Meng Ninglang said gentlemanly, "You are a woman, so you speak first."

Bai Yanshuang couldn't help but blink twice. This was the first time she heard someone speak to her like this. Her father was a general, and she had been raised in a strict environment since she was a child. As a result, she was carefree and not as gentle and quiet as an ordinary girl. People around her treated her like a boy.

Bai Yanshuang said, "Thank you, Mr. Meng, for helping me. How about this, I'd like to invite you to the teahouse for a cup of tea. Is that okay?"

Meng Ninglang simply agreed: "No problem, then I am blessed by Miss Bai. But..."

"But what?" Bai Yanshuang asked, thinking that Meng Ninglang might be rejecting her tactfully.

"But I just wanted to speak up and invite Miss Bai to have a cup of tea. We just happen to have the same idea..."

"Haha, what a coincidence..." Bai Yanshuang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Why did you invite me, Master?"

Meng Ninglang replied: "Thank you Miss Bai for taking the conversation for me in public just now, and thank you Miss Bai for showing kindness to my cousin at the palace banquet."

"You don't have to be polite. I also don't like the people in the Yun Mansion, especially the evil-minded Yun Shirou." Bai Yanshuang paused and continued, "Your cousin is the Princess of Ye, right? I've heard a lot about her recently, and I've seen her with my own eyes. I feel that she is a very good person, so I just want to get in touch with her..."

Meng Ninglang said: "Princess Ye is my cousin. I didn't attend the palace banquet, but I heard everything that happened there."

Bai Yanshuang paused and turned to look at Meng Ninglang: "Will you be at the Spring Outing Banquet in a few days?"

Meng Ninglang thought for a moment and replied, "I think so. After all, this is my first time attending a large banquet since returning to Beijing, so I have to show up."

Bai Yanshuang nodded and said nothing more. The two were innocent and of the same age, so they chatted from time to time on the way to the teahouse.

Soon after Yun Mujiu returned to Qichiyuan, she went straight to the medicine room and got busy. After reading a certain amount of medical books, she tied her hair and started exercising again.

She was the only one in the room, and she had told everyone else, including the secret guards, not to get close to the medicine room, so she could do her own thing without worrying about it. Even if someone saw her exercising, it would not matter, at most others would feel surprised or strange.

Yun Mujiu sometimes lifted heavy objects, sometimes did sit-ups, and sometimes squatted. It didn't take long for her to start sweating. After she finished her training plan, she tidied her clothes and hair and walked out the door.

Yun Mujiu smelled a light and elegant fragrance from a distance before she even entered her bedroom. She sniffed, and the closer she got to the door, the stronger the fragrance became.

Is this a floral scent? Why are there so many different types of floral scents?

As soon as she stepped through the threshold, she saw the large round table in the middle of the room filled with colorful flowers, and these flowers were not tied up by type, but each bouquet was made up of several kinds of flowers. Each bouquet had its own characteristics and looked very eye-catching.

Yun Mujiu's pupils widened, with a look of surprise on his face, "What's going on?"

She looked carefully and found that she didn't recognize many of the flowers. They should be flower varieties unique to this dynasty.

Butler Zeng came over with a smile, "Princess, these are the flowers that the prince prepared for you."

Yun Mujiu walked forward to take a closer look at the flowers, and asked in surprise, "Why did the prince suddenly give me flowers?"

"Replying to Princess, the prince said this is a little surprise for you, and it also has a sense of ceremony..."

Butler Zeng answered the questions based on his memory using the terminology that Ye Xiaohan had mentioned. He didn't quite understand what "sense of ritual" meant, but he just followed whatever Ye Xiaohan said.

Yun Mujiu was looking at the flowers with excitement in his eyes, sniffing this flower and then that flower.

Butler Zeng raised his eyes, carefully observed Yun Mujiu's expression, and continued: "Princess, you went to the palace garden with the prince before, and mentioned that the garden scenery was monotonous. The prince had the garden renovated, and guessed that you might like flowers..."

A warm feeling surged in Yun Mujiu's heart, and his peaceful face was filled with a bright smile.

On her way back to Qichiyuan from Huayangyuan this morning, she passed by the garden. At that time, she sighed: "The scenery of the garden has changed a lot compared to before..."

Yun Mujiu said to Butler Zeng: "Butler Zeng, tell the prince for me: Thank you for what he prepared. I like it very much."

Suixi and Fusang were standing outside the door, and Chunlan, Xiahe, Qiutang and Dongyu were four maids inside. Everyone felt Yun Mujiu's joy and their mood was as cheerful as Yun Mujiu's.

Yun Mujiu took a look, picked up a bunch of the most elegant and fresh flowers, then lowered his head to smell it and sighed: "What a nice fragrance..."

The others chuckled. It was rare to see Yun Mujiu looking so emotional. She was actually quite cute, like a girl next door.

Yun Mujiu felt as if something flashed in her eyes. She lowered her head again and glanced around several times.

Holding the flowers in one hand, she picked up the brightest and fullest red rose with one hand, and a necklace was hung on a thin thread on the branch.

Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up and he took off the necklace. It was a platinum and jadeite necklace, simple in style but with a unique noble and elegant temperament.

Yun Mujiu smiled and exclaimed: "How does the prince know me so well... He knows that I will choose that bouquet of flowers first, and he also knows the style of jewelry I like."

...

In the Huayang Courtyard study, Ye Xiaohan sat at the desk and asked, "What was the princess' reaction after receiving the gift?"

Wei Bai stood aside with a worried look on his face, praying in his heart: Please, I hope the princess will be happy, and then the prince will be happy too, and then the prince will continue to seek advice from me, his "love strategist", in the future.

Ye Xiaohan lowered his eyes and looked at Butler Zeng with a probing look.

In fact, he had no idea at first what kind of surprise or ritual Yun Mujiu would like. For this reason, he consulted Wei Bai, who gave him various suggestions. He combined his own judgment and chose to send flowers, and also hid a necklace in a unique way.

Double surprise, I hope Yun Mujiu will like it...
