The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent
Chapter 442: An unexpected, dangerous night
Further down the emperor's tent, there is another spacious platform.
The tents on the left are those of the queen and concubines, the first big tent on the right is Ye Xiaohan's, and below are those of other princes, princes, ministers, and their male families.
Yun Mujiu was in the left row of tents, sandwiched between the royal family and the officials' women.
Yun Mujiu noticed several figures in the distance, turned around and said to Ye Xiaohan: "Your Majesty, let's go back to our respective tents first and meet again later."
Then he said, "I still have to say hello to my grandfather and the others. I will give the prince his regards."
Ye Xiaohan and she had no intention of involving the Meng family. With so many people around today, it would be best not to let Ye Xiaohan contact his grandfather and the others openly.
Ye Xiaohan was thoughtful and knew what Yun Mujiu was thinking. He nodded and was escorted back to the tent by his personal guards.
After watching Ye Xiaohan leave, Yun Mujiu turned around, took big strides, and rushed under a big tree.
There were several people there, seemingly quietly waiting for her arrival...
She smiled brightly, "Grandfather, why are you here too!"
Duke Meng was leaning on a cane, a kind smile on his amiable face.
"Mu Jiu, grandpa is here to join in the fun."
Yun Mujiu's eyebrows curved, while supporting Duke Meng, she greeted the others: "Uncle, aunt, Ning Lang, you are all here."
Meng Shihao and Yi looked at each other kindly and nodded repeatedly.
Meng Shihao said: "This is also the first time we have attended a banquet with you. In the past, we were not in the capital, so you suffered."
Yi said in a guilty tone, "Before we were not in the capital, we didn't know that you had no one to rely on."
Meng Ninglang said in a clear voice: "Although you have a prince now, and the prince treats you sincerely. But we still want to tell you that no matter what, the Meng family is behind you. If you need anything, we are here."
The four of them also praised Yun Mujiu for being dressed beautifully today. The silk cloth from the Heavenly Silkworm played the greatest role for Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan. They also said that they would send new silk cloth to Ye Mansion when they had the chance to get it next time.
Looking at the aged appearance of Duke Meng again, Yun Mujiu felt a lump in his throat and choked up.
She could feel her grandfather's genuine concern for her as a junior. Even at such an old age, he still participated in the palace banquet far away in the suburbs. I guess he wanted to tell others that she, Yun Mujiu, still had her grandfather's family to rely on.
She glanced around and saw many people looking at them curiously. Some people were wondering, "Whose powerful family is this? Why do they seem to have a good relationship with Princess Ye?"
Yun Mujiu turned around and nodded obediently to Duke Meng.
"Grandfather, uncle, aunt, Ning Lang, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
After a pause, he added with a smile, "Besides, I didn't attend many palace banquets before, and I was never bullied by others at the banquets. After all, I was once the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Yun's Mansion, so how could others dare to bully me?"
Yun Mujiu was so confident, and with his recent excellent performance, there was indeed no sign of a depressed life on him. Duke Meng and others looked at Yun Mujiu with satisfaction, their eyes showing genuine concern for their loved ones.
Yun Mujiu took the initiative to stroll with Duke Meng and others for a while, chatting about some interesting topics in the capital.
Afterwards, she personally escorted Duke Meng back to the tent. Duke Meng was old and might need to be taken care of, so he lived in the same tent with Meng Shihao.
After leaving the tent, Yun Mujiu frowned slightly and whispered to Meng Ninglang: "You have lived in the borderland for more than ten years. Are there any interesting and strange events there?"
Meng Ninglang was a little confused, "Are you asking about ghosts, monsters, and poisons?"
Yun Mujiu rolled his eyes and replied stiffly, "Yes." Then he added, "Family secrets, mysterious totems or patterns are also fine."
Facing Meng Ninglang's thoughtful expression, he simply said, "I'm just interested in those mysterious patterns and family symbols. Just talk about this."
Meng Ninglang said in a deep voice: "Let me think about it, but maybe I don't know what you are interested in."
The two walked around outside the tent for several times, and Meng Ninglang talked about some common events in the border area.
Finally, Meng Ninglang had an idea, and he patted his head and said, "Flower Seal!"
Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up, "What did you think of?"
Last time she asked Meng Ninglang whether the Meng family had a family pattern, but this time she changed her mind.
Perhaps there are some legends about the pattern in the southern border of the capital. Ye Xiaohan also suggested expanding the scope to investigate the mystery of her life experience.
Meng Ninglang frowned and said, "It was about ten years ago. I don't remember how old I was at that time, but I remember a man in a black robe came to the city one day. At that time, our Meng family was guarding this small town. We were the most powerful family and were well-informed. Everyone in the city knew our identities."
"At that time, I was playing outside the mansion gate, and a man in a black robe suddenly came to me, calling me Young Master Meng, and asked me if I had ever heard of someone with a flower seal. I thought about it for a long time and shook my head at him."
"Then, the man seemed to have stayed in the city for a few more days. At that time, my father heard about his strange behavior and wanted to send someone to inquire about his origins."
Yun Mujiu's heart tightened, and he heard Meng Ninglang say, "But before the soldiers arrived, that person had already left. Later, I gradually forgot about it."
Yun Mujiu asked, "Do you know what flower seal he is talking about?"
Meng Ninglang frowned, and after a while, shook his head.
"He didn't say it explicitly, he just said it was a flower seal. As for what the flower seal looks like, no one in our city has ever heard of it."
Meng Ninglang asked back: "Is there anything you want to ask?"
"No." Yun Mujiu shrugged, "Just curious. You know, sometimes girls are just interested in some strange things."
"I haven't been around girls much, I don't know."
Yun Mujiu rolled his eyes at Meng Ninglang, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a girl waving at them in the distance.
"Meng Ninglang, you'll know soon..." She waved back and pushed Meng Ninglang. "Come over, Yan Shuang wants to play with you."
After Yun Mujiu briefly greeted Bai Yanshuang, he said that he was going to go for a walk with Ye Xiaohan. Although Bai Yanshuang had a carefree personality, she still knew how to deal with people. She turned around and went to hang out with Meng Ninglang with great interest.
As the sun sets, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, emitting bursts of elegant fragrance that is refreshing and refreshing.
Yun Mujiu pushed Ye Xiaohan and walked under the tree. The mountain wind brought willow catkins and blew peach petals all over the sky.
Not far away in the woods, there were many people flying kites, laughing and talking, it was very lively.
At the entrance of the peach blossom forest, Yun Shirou stood there with gritted teeth, staring at the backs of Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.
"Second Miss Yun, are you ready?" A slow voice sounded behind Yun Shirou.
This person was Bei Liyi. That day, she and Yun Shirou suggested that Gao Yang contact Wu Mingwei, and they just happened to get some useful information.
She was happy in her heart, thinking that perhaps the Night King was only forced to pay attention to Yun Mujiu temporarily due to some needs.
If King Ye really liked Yun Mujiu, why would he be so ambiguous towards Yun Mujiu? Why would the two of them live in separate courtyards, and why would Yun Mujiu live in the most remote courtyard in Ye Mansion?
Yun Shirou retracted her angry gaze and said calmly, "What are you talking about, Princess? How can you say you are preparing?"
She raised her lips and smiled evilly at Bei Liyi, "But I'm ready to perform at the banquet. Last time at the envoy's palace banquet, Yun Mujiu stole my charm, and I won't let her get away with it this time!"
