The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The emperor on the high platform was drinking and chatting with his ministers. He noticed Ye Fu's seat to his lower left and his eyes darkened.

The queen smiled and accepted the fruit wine offered by the ladies, while glancing at Yun Mujiu calmly.

The prince only glanced at Yun Mujiu, and then quickly looked away as if he had received an electric shock. Yun Mujiu was in the limelight, and he didn't want to offend her for no reason.

Yun Shirou tilted her head and stared at the couple in the distance to her right. Her teeth were about to break. Didn't Princess Gaoyang say that the Night King didn't really like Yun Mujiu? Why did the Night King pick up food for Yun Mujiu just for show?

She turned her head again and wanted to glance at the prince, but she found that the prince had turned around and was chatting with other officials. She was angry and disappointed. Was the prince avoiding her?

Bei Liyi was so angry that she bit her lips and clenched her hands so tightly that her joints turned white.

Sitting next to Bei Liyi, there were two princesses. Gao Yang looked at Yun Shirou and Bei Liyi's expressions with interest, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, his eyes grim.

Princess Ji Ling held a cup of hot tea, glanced at Gao Yang, and smiled bitterly.

Ye Chufeng lowered his head and tasted the wine quietly. Ye Chuhe beside him also looked calm and poured himself a glass of wine.

Wanyan Gu stared for a few seconds, then lowered his head and drank his wine, wondering why the secret guard hadn't replied. Wei Song and Wei Bai showed up in public, so nothing would happen to Dongjiao, right?

After eating a few pieces of crispy and fragrant venison, Yun Mujiu finally noticed the various looks around him, including envy, jealousy, shock, surprise, anger, admiration and so on.

What's going on? Why are they all staring at me?

"Your Majesty, I will eat it myself. You don't have to serve it to me."

"Mu Mu, don't worry about others, I'll feed you."

For some reason, Ye Xiaohan wanted to show off his love in a high-profile manner today.

A cold and fierce look swept across, frightening the people around him so much that their hearts skipped a beat and they dared not look at him again.

Ye Xiaohan was satisfied and raised his lips slightly.

"Open your mouth," Ye Xiaohan picked up another piece of venison for Yun Mujiu, "I'll feed you."

Yun Mujiu smiled and took a bite of the venison, then waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

Ye Xiaohan was helpless, "Okay, then you eat it yourself."

Yun Mujiu smiled again. Oh my, the prince had noticed her little thoughts. It wasn't that she didn't want the prince to feed her, it was just that there were too many people watching her eat, and she couldn't eat!

"Meng Ninglang, Mu Jiu and the Regent have such a good relationship..."

Meng Ninglang shuddered and turned his head to look to the side. Originally, his father and grandfather were chatting with General Bai, but suddenly a woman's voice came out.

"It's you! Bai Yanshuang, why are you here?"

"Shh..." Bai Yanshuang blinked, "I'll quietly come to my father's place and sit for a while."

She smiled and greeted Duke Meng and Meng Shihao politely.

“Grandfather Meng, Uncle Meng, I am Bai Yanshuang, the daughter of General Bai.”

"Hey! You're running around again." General Bai was a burly man with a straight face. He knocked on Bai Yanshuang's head helplessly, and then introduced her to Duke Meng and others: "This is my daughter Yanshuang."

Duke Meng smiled kindly. He remembered that Mu Jiu and Ning Lang both said that they were familiar with Yan Shuang.

Meng Shihao lost his chill and whispered to Bai Yanshuang. In fact, he had always wanted a daughter! But he gave birth to a bad boy! Fortunately, his niece Mu Jiu came back, and he could treat Mu Jiu as his daughter.

After the two performances came to an end, it was time for the talent show by young men and women.

The Queen and the Emperor looked at each other, then stood up and smiled at everyone, showing the smile of a model mother of the country.

"Everyone, tonight is a simple campfire dinner. Please enjoy the wine and game to your heart's content."

"Now is the talent show. There is no limit to the type of talent, just be casual. Those who perform well will be rewarded by me and the emperor."

The Queen spoke in a calm tone with just the right smile on her face.

The Spring Outing Banquet is not like the usual serious palace banquets. The atmosphere will be more relaxed and lively, and the performances are not for any purpose, but simply to add to the lively atmosphere.

After the queen finished speaking, she sat down slowly.

The crowd in the audience suddenly became noisy. Some urged the people next to them to go on stage, while others looked curious, just like watching spectators.

This time, Bei Liyi stopped showing off and just sat aside quietly.

Yun Mujiu didn't want to care about so many things. He tilted his head and spoke to Ye Xiaohan with a gleam in his eyes.

When the dancer was about to leave, a man was supported by someone and walked to her row of seats, standing in front of an empty seat.

There was actually one empty seat in this row! In addition to the two empty seats next to Ye Xiaohan, why are there empty seats elsewhere? Maybe the person who arranged the seats had already reserved a seat for that person...

Then, the man slowly took his seat. A group of dancers left, and the bright yellow firelight instantly illuminated the man's seat.

That person turned out to be Yun Boliang!

Ye Xiaohan followed Yun Mujiu's line of sight and held Yun Mujiu's slender hand.

"It's okay. I guess the emperor sent him."

"The wound from the beating hasn't healed yet, and you want to join in the fun again." Yun Mujiu said coldly.

It seems that the emperor still has some affection for this prime minister.

There are only two prime ministers in a country. How can the emperor be willing to completely throw away a chess piece that he has used for many years in the short term?

Yun Shirou stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor and empress.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may I sing a song for you all?"

The emperor glanced at the queen and asked her to preside over it.

The queen smiled at Yun Shirou: "Of course, Miss Yun, please."

Yun Shirou was delighted and leaned over to agree.

She was not as good as Yun Mujiu in playing the piano and dancing at the last palace banquet. Would she lose to Yun Mujiu in singing now? She had heard Yun Mujiu sing many times in the Yun Mansion. He was simply tone-deaf. How could he be even half as good as her?

The prince also likes her singing very much. Once she sings a song, not to mention the young masters of noble families, the prince and other princes, I'm afraid even the Night King will fall in love with her!

Yun Shirou stood on the performance stage and glanced at Yun Mujiu provocatively.

Yun Mujiu was chatting and laughing with Ye Xiaohan in the audience, and never even glanced at Yun Shirou.

Yun Shirou's face grew even gloomier, and then she met Yun Xiang's encouraging gaze.

My mother was not feeling well and did not come to the party, but my father insisted on coming, so at least she was not alone. With a determined heart, I cleared my throat and sang a melodious and gentle song.

...

When the song ended, the audience on the stage burst into applause. It must be said that Yun Shirou's voice, which had been trained for a long time, was still good.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the crowd gave symbolic applause to encourage the performers, because quite a few people's faces were still flat, and there was no grand surprise in their eyes. The prince also just glanced over a few times.

Yun Shirou stood still. A pink-dressed woman rushed over to the side of the stage. She exclaimed loudly, "It's so beautiful! Miss Yun is indeed a talented woman in the capital!"

At this time, Yun Mujiu had just returned to her seat from the Meng family. When she heard the voice, her eyebrows furrowed.
