The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Yun Mujiu was stunned and didn't pay any attention to Ye Xiaohan's question.

The direction the Queen Mother was looking at was exactly the Meng family's direction, and it was also the direction where my grandfather was!

The last time she visited the Meng Mansion, she asked her grandfather about the origin of the golden phoenix hairpin, and her grandfather was surprised to ask her who had noticed the phoenix hairpin. Afterwards, her grandfather said that the golden hairpin was given to him by the late queen, and briefly mentioned that he and his grandmother He had some friendship with the queen mother when they were young.

Now judging from the Queen Mother’s expression, it seems that she is indeed acquainted with my grandfather.

The Queen Mother paused briefly, then retracted her gaze, turned around and sat down.

It was during this moment that Yun Mujiu realized what was happening and her white hands reached up to Ye Xiaohan's sleeves.

"Your Highness, were you talking to me just now?" She asked while shifting her gaze to Duke Meng.

Ye Xiaohan asked: "What happened?"

Yun Mujiu covered her lips with one hand and whispered to Ye Xiaohan, "When the Queen Mother saw my grandfather, the look in her eyes changed."

Seeing Duke Meng's solemn eyes again, Yun Mujiu turned his head and said to Ye Xiaohan: "Your Highness, it seems that the Queen Mother has had dealings with the Meng family. Have you ever heard of this? Maybe the Queen Mother is not being kind to me because she owes me a childhood marriage, but for the sake of my grandparents..."

Ye Xiaohan's mind turned slightly, "The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time and rarely participates in external affairs. Even when she was young, it was the same."

"I have never known the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Meng family, and I don't think many outsiders know about it either."

Yun Mujiu nodded to show that he understood.

Yes, Ye Xiaohan was only in his twenties, but the Queen Mother was at least sixty years old. It was normal for Ye Xiaohan not to know about the Queen Mother's past.

As the two were talking, they heard the emperor on the platform shout, "Begin preparations for the hunting competition!"

The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and people cheered.

All the contestants were riding on horses, carrying bows and arrows on their shoulders, and their faces were full of fighting spirit.

The most eye-catching ones are the members of the royal family, mainly because of their status.

The Queen Mother was wearing a bright robe, and she looked proud and noble, with a hint of disdain in the narrow corners of her eyes. Then, she quickly glanced at Yun Mujiu, and then at the Emperor and Empress.

He secretly said in his heart: I must win the first place in today's competition and let everyone see how powerful he, the prince, is!

Ye Chufeng was dressed in a bright red dress, with his head slightly raised. His peach blossom eyes swept towards everyone, and a big evil smile hung on his bright and handsome face.

Wherever he looked, he could hear the sweet laughter of women. Although Ye Chufeng was an unpopular prince, he was still a prince after all. So there were still many women who were attracted to him, openly or secretly. At least he was very handsome!

Yun Mujiu rarely saw Ye Chufeng like this, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Is the Seventh Prince so popular? I saw Yun Shirou staring at him for a few moments."

A hint of emotion flashed across Ye Xiaohan's eyes, "He is often like this."

Wei Bai snickered and quietly added, "My Lord, Princess, the Seventh Prince is quite popular among women in the capital."

Yun Mujiu said "Oh" and subconsciously said: "It looks a bit like a butterfly..."

Butterfly? Ye Xiaohan and Wei Bai thought at the same time. Butterfly is an interesting metaphor. Ye Chufeng is so flamboyant sometimes, exuding his charm like a butterfly.

At this time, Yun Mujiu heard someone in the crowd ask, "Hey! Why is there no trace of the Fourth Prince?"

Someone replied: "The Fourth Prince is still guarding the Northern Territory. I'm afraid he won't be returning to the capital during this period of time."

Yun Mujiu thought about it and had very few memories of the Fourth Prince in his mind.

"Fourth Prince?"

Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "The fourth prince is named Ye Chudi, and his biological mother is Concubine Liang."

"Liang Fei? I don't have much impression."

"She is an ordinary concubine in the palace. She is weak and rarely goes out."

Yun Mujiu nodded to show that he understood.

She had rarely attended palace banquets and other large banquets before, and Ye Chudi had been guarding the northern border of Zhongyue bordering Beihan all year round. Therefore, she did not know much about some concubines in the harem, and Ye Chudi.

Yun Mujiu turned his head again and saw that most of the contestants had already warmed up and all looked ready to go.

At this time, Meng Ninglang was wearing a dark green robe, his facial features were immature yet mature. He looked over and nodded to Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan.

Ye Xiaohan also nodded slightly, and Yun Mujiu directly gave Meng Ninglang a thumbs up.

Ye Chufeng happened to look over, and Yun Mujiu gave Ye Chufeng a thumbs up to express his encouragement.

Then, Wanyan Gu looked over, Yun Mujiu responded with a faint look, while Ye Xiaohan threw a dagger at him.

Wanyan Gu's heart trembled and he quickly looked away.

The prince looked at Yun Mujiu's kindness towards others and gritted his teeth.

The last time he stood in front of the Herb Hall, Yun Mujiu gave him a middle finger, which definitely didn't mean anything nice. But now Yun Mujiu smiled so kindly at Meng Ninglang, so the thumbs up must have meant something positive.

Humph! He will make Yun Mujiu look at him with new eyes later!

"Boom!" The sound of gongs and drums rang out, and a eunuch shouted, "Begin!"

The contestants pulled the reins tight and the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

There is a relatively small mountain on the left side of Yushan Mountain, named Boshan Mountain. There is a large open space on the hillside of Boshan Mountain, which is full of green grass and many low bushes.

The people at the foot of Yushan Mountain looked up and saw a large enclosure on the hillside of Boshan Mountain, which was the address of the Zhongyue Royal Hunting Ground.

At the emperor's command, everyone could move around freely in their seats, drink tea and chat, and take a look at what was going on in the hunting grounds.

Ye Chuhe looked at the fruit wine in the glass, his eyes darkened. If his legs were healed, he would be able to ride a horse instead of being trapped in this wheelchair.

He glanced at Yun Mujiu with a complicated expression.

Yun Mujiu was talking to Ye Xiaohan, and when she noticed someone was looking at her, she looked around. She met Ye Chuhe's gaze and smiled slightly, her big eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Her eyes silently said, Fifth Prince, I know what you are thinking. I know your worries and concerns. With my treatment, you still have a chance to recover.

Ye Chuhe nodded slightly and withdrew his gaze.

He had already written back to Ye Mansion a few days ago, and also said that his father did not have strict requirements on the identity of the doctor who could cure his legs, which showed that his father had hope of accepting the emperor's aunt's treatment for him.

Ye Chuhe secretly made up his mind that when the time was right, he would immediately ask the Queen's Aunt to check his legs to find out what disease he had!

Most of the participants in hunting competitions are young men. Of course, there are also some middle-aged generals, but their number is not large.

The purpose of the Spring Festival Banquet is to promote exchanges among people and also to give young people a chance to get to know each other. Therefore, most of the participants in the hunting competition are young people.

Yun Mujiu lowered his head and sipped his tea leisurely, occasionally chatting with Ye Xiaohan.

What she didn't notice was that within just three breaths, several sharp eyes fell on her...
