The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu looked carefully and saw four young women in front of him. Three of them were standing closely together, while one was a few steps away from the other three and was speeding up to catch up with them.

It was dimly lit at night, with only a few lanterns lit around the tent camp.

Yun Mujiu hurried a few steps to catch up, and the four people in front just walked into a corner, and then they merged into a large group of people in the night. This group of people were dressed up and walked along the way, talking and laughing.

Yun Mujiu blinked, suspecting that he was seeing things. He shook his head and yawned, feeling that his head was a little tired from the ride.

The bonfire dinner was held on a flat land at the foot of Yushan Mountain. The banquet seats were arranged in a triangular shape. The high platform in the middle was where the emperor and empress sat, and the seats on the left and right sides were for men according to their rank, and the seats on the right were for women.

However, married princes, princes and princesses could sit together with their partners, so Yun Mujiu sat down with Ye Xiaohan.

There were piles of bonfires in front of both sides, with fresh meat on top of them, and the imperial chefs were watching the fire. When the meat was roasted, the imperial chefs would cut it and put it on plates, which were then served to everyone by the palace maids.

It is said that a team of royal guards went into the forest to hunt today and captured a lot of game, which will be the special dishes for tonight's banquet.

Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan sat down, and just like the last palace banquet, there were two empty seats next to them, and no one dared to sit next to Ye Xiaohan.

After everyone started to find their seats, the emperor and empress also arrived. The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow robe, with a solemn expression, not angry but with an imperial majesty.

After everyone knelt and saluted, the emperor waved his hand and asked them to stand up.

When passing by Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu, the emperor suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Xiaohan. The queen stopped in tacit understanding.

Behind the emperor and empress, Concubine Yu and other concubines stopped. Concubine Yu glanced at Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu without leaving a trace, and stayed on Yun Mujiu for a while longer.

A heavy look appeared in her charming eyes. Was this the person who claimed that he could cure her son? Princess Ye was so young, yet she had such superb medical skills.

The emperor said to Ye Xiaohan: "It's rare for my brother to appear at such an occasion, so you must have fun!"

The emperor took the initiative to talk to him, and as a subject, Ye Xiaohan would not lose face for the emperor in front of everyone.

Ye Xiaohan said leisurely: "Don't worry, my royal brother, I will."

The Queen smiled, "I remember that this should be the first time that Princess Ye attends the Spring Outing Banquet, right?"

Yun Mujiu replied, "Yes, Queen. I attended today's Spring Outing Banquet and it is indeed very lively."

The Spring Outing Banquet was held in the suburbs, and she had to stay there for two nights. Yun Xiang and Ye Shi never let her attend, as they thought it was too much trouble to bring her along.

The queen smiled, "That's good. Zhongyue has such beautiful spring scenery, and we, the people of Zhongyue, should appreciate and cherish it."

"Your Majesty is right. It is what I should do." Yun Mujiu nodded, willing to give the queen this face.

The emperor quickly glanced behind Ye Xiaohan and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Royal brother, why don't your two capable subordinates come with you? Wei Song, Wei Bai."

As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor, the empress, Wanyan Gu, and their followers all had strange emotions flashing in their eyes.

Yun Mujiu was slightly startled and turned to look at Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan gave Yun Mujiu a calm look, then looked directly at the emperor.

"Wei Song and Wei Bai are right here. If you want to see them, just call them out."

Ye Xiaohan clapped his hands and said quietly, "Wei Song, Wei Bai, why don't you come out and see the emperor."

Behind Ye Xiaohan stood two teams of guards, each with four people. As he spoke, one person came out from the end of each team.

The further they walked, the more light began to shine on their figures.

The two men walked to the front, and under the clear light of the torches, they slowly lifted the veil.

The person on the left shows a noble and upright face, this person is Wei Bai. The person on the right shows a resolute and upright face, this person is Wei Song.

The two bowed to the emperor and the queen. The emperor was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. Aren't Wei Song and Wei Bai still outside the city? How did they suddenly appear here? When did they return to the city?

Not only the emperor was surprised, but the queen and Wanyan Gu were also shocked.

The emperor was the ruler of a country after all. He remained calm and waved calmly at Wei Song and Wei Bai.

"Stand up. You are my brother's capable subordinates. You must work for him seriously and take good care of him."

"I obey your command." Wei Song and Wei Bai replied calmly, bending down.

Although they are Ye Xiaohan's subordinates, they also hold certain positions in the army, and it is in accordance with etiquette for them to call themselves "humble subjects" to the emperor.

The emperor looked back at Ye Xiaohan, but saw a pair of deep and bottomless eyes. His heart trembled, and he walked away calmly.

As the emperor sat down, everyone else followed suit. The emperor and the queen exchanged some polite words, asking everyone to enjoy the dinner and the beautiful mountain scenery, and cherish the spring banquet that is held once a year.

At this point, the banquet officially began. In the middle of the guest seats on both sides, there was a high red carpet platform. The music started playing and the dancers started dancing.

The crowd below the stage was toasting and drinking, and as they chatted and laughed, the steaming barbecue was served, adding a touch of fireworks to the banquet.

Yun Mujiu looked at the steaming venison in front of her and blinked. She had never eaten venison before, and this meat looked very good.

"My Lord, can I eat this meat?"

Ye Xiaohan picked up a piece and sniffed it. "You can eat it if it's not poisonous. They don't dare to poison it openly."

The doctor's system did not give any warning, and Yun Mujiu quietly checked the venison with silver chopsticks. "It's not poisonous, you can eat it."

Ye Xiaohan took a bite first, and after confirming that there was really no problem, he picked up a piece for Yun Mujiu.

"It's delicious! Your Majesty, you should eat too!" Yun Mujiu happily accepted the food that Ye Xiaohan fed her, not realizing that anything was wrong. When she and Ye Xiaohan were having meals at the Ye Mansion, Ye Xiaohan would often pick up food for her.

Yun Mujiu was not surprised, but those who were secretly watching her were so shocked that their jaws dropped!

What! The Regent actually fed Princess Ye vegetables in public! Such a scene was as shocking as the sky falling!

Isn’t it said that the Regent is cruel and cold-blooded? Then who is the man who is carefully feeding Princess Ye?
