The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

Not long after Yun Mujiu finished washing up, Nanny Kong came over and had breakfast served to Yun Mujiu.

The Queen Mother woke up after Yun Mujiu had breakfast.

Madam Kong was delighted and praised, "Princess Ye, thanks to your treatment of the Queen Mother, she had a rare good sleep last night."

Yun Mujiu smiled faintly: "Wait until the Queen Mother recovers, then she will be able to sleep well in the future."

Yun Mujiu took the empress dowager's pulse again and found that her complexion had improved a little. He then asked Nanny Kong to remind the empress dowager to take the medicine on time.

Yun Mujiu and the Queen Mother did not mention the Queen's request to stay overnight last night. The two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

The empress dowager's thin face looked a little haggard. Yun Mujiu felt a little reluctant. She couldn't help but recall what her grandfather had said to her when he sent her mother's tablet back to the Meng Mansion.

When Duke Meng was young, his name was Meng Chaoming. He was a newly rising young military commander in the court and was widely welcomed in the capital. At that time, the situation in the country was still stable, the people lived and worked in peace, and the atmosphere and customs throughout the country were good.

Meng Chaoming loves to make friends. He talks enthusiastically with men and treats women gently and politely. He behaves properly and is even a little shy.

At a spring outing banquet, Meng Chaoming met some new young men and women, among whom the young ladies were He Qiu, who was not her grandmother at the time, and Xuan Nianci, who was not the empress dowager at the time.

Xuan Nianci and He Qiu gradually became friends. As the country was stable, people were more interested in entertainment. People in Beijing often held poetry gatherings, tea parties, martial arts competitions, hunting competitions and other activities, inviting young men and women from the royal family and aristocratic families to participate.

In one event after another, Meng Chaoming's relationship with other young men became better and better, and of course he also gradually became familiar with He Qiu and Xuan Nianci...

...

All in all, Queen Mother Xuan Nianci did have a certain relationship with Yun Mujiu's grandparents.

Yun Mujiu paid more attention to his grandfather's old friend. Even if the Queen Mother had no connection with the Meng family, Yun Mujiu would still care about the Queen Mother, a patient.

The "more attention" mentioned here refers to focusing on the Queen Mother as a person, rather than just curing the disease.

Yun Mujiu recalled several times and brought his wandering thoughts back.

After waiting quietly for a while, he gently removed the needles inserted into certain acupuncture points on the empress dowager's shoulders and arms.

Yun Mujiu finished his second follow-up visit with the empress dowager, picked up his medicine box and left, leaving Nanny Kong in the room to take care of the empress dowager.

Xia He's eyes were filled with solemnity, "Princess, someone is looking for you outside Renshou Palace. It's Eunuch Li who brought people here."

Yun Mujiu was extremely calm, "Finally, you're here."

Eunuch Li, under the order of the Emperor, came to invite Princess Ye to an audience.

As a result, when Yun Mujiu arrived at the Qianqing Palace, a young eunuch said, "Princess Ye, the emperor is discussing the issue of drought in the counties with his ministers. Please wait in the side hall."

The cup of scalding hot tea went cold, and the emperor did not show up.

The second cup of scalding hot tea had cooled, but the emperor still did not appear.

The weather was hot, so Yun Mujiu had to drink water normally. As a result, he drank several cups of tea, but still could not see anyone. Finally, the warm water in the teapot also cooled down completely.

Eunuch Li has not been seen since he brought Yun Mujiu a pot of tea. Yun Mujiu sat alone in the hall waiting, and as time passed, his mood became calmer.

After noon, the emperor and the empress had lunch and then they wanted to meet Yun Mujiu.

The emperor learned from Eunuch Li that Yun Mujiu had been sitting quietly. Not only did he not say anything, he also did not mention any requests to the servants. He also never asked the emperor whether he was still busy or when he would come.

The emperor was surprised. When did Yun Mujiu become so calm? When the prince disliked Yun Mujiu before, he ignored Yun Mujiu several times. Every time, Yun Mujiu yelled and was eager to see the prince. He couldn't keep his composure at all.

Even though Yun Mujiu had performed well recently, the emperor was still shocked by Yun Mujiu's calm attitude. Yun Mujiu's calm performance far exceeded his expectations.

I originally planned to leave Yun Mujiu alone for a while to dampen his arrogance and prestige, and at the same time scare Yun Mujiu with my cold attitude. I didn't expect that Yun Mujiu could really hold on!

The emperor walked in slowly. Yun Mujiu noticed the movement outside the palace and stood up calmly to salute.

"See the Emperor."

"Princess Ye, do you admit your guilt?" A majestic voice echoed in the palace.

Yun Mujiu bent his knees and half squatted, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake I made. Please enlighten me."

Faced with the emperor's groundless conviction, Yun Mujiu certainly could not admit it.

When the emperor heard Yun Mujiu denying her guilt and then heard the word "minister", his brows unconsciously frowned.

Yun Mujiu is not the daughter of Prime Minister Yun, but she is the granddaughter of Duke Meng. There is nothing wrong with her calling herself "a servant's daughter", and it is impossible to find fault with her.

Yun Mujiu sneered in her heart. This was good. The emperor's wish was in vain. The emperor wanted to judge her wrong as soon as she opened her mouth, and if she called herself a "common woman", the emperor would seize the opportunity to force her to be convicted.

The emperor probably thought: Commoner girl? Why does Yun Mujiu call herself a commoner girl? It's because Yun Mujiu caused Yun Xiang to lose the two big backers of the Meng family and the Yewang Mansion. Without Yun Xiang as a father, Yun Mujiu is embarrassed to call herself a "minister girl", so of course she has to call herself a "commoner girl"!

The emperor snorted coldly and did not let Yun Mujiu stand up. He sat in the main seat.

Yun Mujiu did not call herself a "commoner girl", so he could not take the opportunity to change the subject and blame Yun Mujiu for ruining Yun Xiang's planned marriage. In addition, Yun Mujiu called herself a "commoner girl", and her status was lower than that of many royal nobles and children of aristocratic families.

"Princess Ye, I asked you to wait because I wanted you to reflect on your mistakes!"

"Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed, nor do I know what mistake I have made."

Yun Mujiu lowered her head slightly and said calmly, "I am really stupid, and the prince always says that I am very stupid. Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, the prince said that if there is anything I don't understand, I can ask Your Majesty and the Queen for advice. I hope Your Majesty can talk to me about what crime I have committed."

The emperor knew that Yun Mujiu was smart, and at this time Yun Mujiu brought up Ye Xiaohan again. Did he really think that he, the emperor, would be afraid of a mere regent?

The emperor suddenly said, "You are not allowed to call yourself 'subject'!"

"Your Majesty." Yun Mujiu quickly covered her mouth, pretending to be scared. She was slightly happy in her heart. Was the emperor finally going to reveal the real purpose of summoning her into the palace?
