The King of Zhenbei didn't care about the conflict between her master and Chu Ling'er, because he had never taken a liking to this adopted daughter who was forced upon him by the clan.

But that doesn’t mean Chu Ling’er’s real relatives don’t care.

If she was far away in the capital, it would be fine if those people were powerless, but now that she happened to have come to the north, she didn't believe that those people would not take any action.

Mu Yunyao naturally knew what she was worried about, but she said with a smile.

"It's nothing, but it's a good opportunity to find out what happened back then."

After all, no one knew better than them that the princess had brought the child back from outside.

Qingyun thought about it and said, "Then I will send some people to sneak into the banquet in advance to ensure the safety of the master and to get some information by the way."

Mu Yunyao had no objection to this and asked after thinking about it.

"Is this banquet held at the Zhenbei Palace?"

"How could that be possible? The Zhenbei King and his wife are not stupid. Even if they are not in the North, it is impossible for them to easily take control of the palace.

It is a villa under the name of the royal palace. I heard that there is a hot spring there.

A few years ago, the Chu family used the excuse that the elders in the family had suffered a lot in the past and wanted the King of Zhenbei to give them the villa for their retirement, but the King of Zhenbei flatly refused.

The princess couldn't save her face, so she allowed them to stay here for three to five days every winter.

Later, the princess was not feeling well, and the doctor said that the hot spring was an excellent place for recuperation. In order to prevent these people from disturbing the princess, they could only come and stay for a short time in winter, but now they could come and stay in spring.

Not only did those people not care, they were actually very happy.

Because it is very cold in the north, no one wants to go out in winter.

Ever since the villa was lent to them in spring, they began to hold banquets in the name of the royal palace and invited local nobles.

Of course, they couldn't avoid the support of Chu Ling'er, the little princess of the royal palace who was tacitly accepted by everyone, otherwise, no one would buy their account.

However, this time Chu Linger followed the Zhenbei Prince and his wife to the capital, and they actually dared to hold a banquet in the name of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. I really don't know whether they are too ignorant or they are brave enough.

Mu Yunyao smiled and returned the post to Qingyun.

"Just prepare yourself and see what they want to do when the time comes."

Qingyun knew that the master had agreed, so she asked someone to reply to the master.

Then he began to prepare for the banquet.

Since the other party has left the invitation, no matter what the other party's intention is, they cannot be impolite and still have to prepare the things that should be prepared for the first visit.

However, since I'm not really going to the banquet at the Zhenbei Palace, the gift doesn't need to be particularly expensive.

Qingyun took a look and saw that any one of the things the Shen family prepared for the master was priceless. It would be too much of a loss to give such good things to them.

Qingyun felt a little distressed, so she planned to go out and buy something else while Mu Yunyao was taking a nap.

But she didn't expect that when she went out, she heard an unexpected piece of news.

"Master, Master, let me tell you..."

Qingyun rushed into the yard and saw Mu Yunyao drinking tea with a handsome young man.

Seeing her rude behavior, Mu Yunyao just smiled and didn't scold her.

Then he nodded slightly to the man opposite him.

"General Zhan, please forgive me for making fun of you. My girl is a little impatient. Please don't be offended, General Zhan."

Qingyun also swallowed lightly, thinking that it was a good thing that she shut up in time.

I almost gossiped about other people in front of them.

Zhan Wuhui still had the iconic silver mask on his face, but the mask only covered most of his face.

The part below the nose is not covered, so it does not affect his normal eating and drinking.

At this time, he was holding a cup of tea in his hand and didn't care about what Mu Yunyao said.

"It doesn't matter."

He came this time because of the conflict between Shen An and Huang Dashan at the city gate.

Originally, Huang Dashan reported Shen An just out of petty revenge, but he was really suspicious of Shen An's counter-reporting of him.

What was unexpected was that a lot of things actually happened out of his mouth.

Although Huang Dashan was not a spy, among the people he confessed who were planning to buy Shen An, some of them did help the spy in the city to pass on information.

Because this matter was reported by Mu Yunyao's people, Zhan Wuhui felt that it was reasonable and proper for him to tell her.

However, originally, this matter could have been solved by simply sending someone over. I don’t know what he was thinking, but in the end he couldn’t help but come over himself.

"I already know what General Zhan said. You don't need to tell me what will happen next. Do you have anything else to say?"

Mu Yunyao's attitude of wanting to see him off was very obvious. Zhan Wuhui felt a little unhappy, but he had no reason to stay any longer.

After thinking about it, he was about to get up and say goodbye, but suddenly he remembered something his subordinates reported to him today.

After thinking for a while, he said, "No banquet is good. Since the princess is here for important matters, it is better to avoid some things if possible.

After all, a powerful dragon cannot overpower a local snake, is that right?"

Mu Yunyao smiled but did not respond to his words.

Zhan Wuhui didn’t know what she was thinking, but what he had said was already said, he really had no control over what she wanted to do.

I had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.

After everyone left, Qingyun looked at his Beiying and muttered.

"Master, what do you think General Zhan meant by this?"

"What else could it mean? It's to remind me that the Zhan family is going to attack me at the banquet."

Thinking of the grudge between herself and Chu Ling'er, even without Zhan Wuhui mentioning it, Mu Yunyao could tell that the Chu family had no good intentions in inviting her to the banquet.

However, in order to get more clues about her elder brother, she really had to go.

As for Zhan Wuhui's reminder, she thought it was out of kindness and that he didn't want her to get into trouble in the North so as to avoid embarrassing the King of Zhenbei.

Qingyun thought for a while before speaking.

"Master, you see that General Zhan is not very old. I heard that he is also an orphan picked up by the prince. Do you think he could be the eldest young master?"

Mu Yunyao shook her head and said, "You also know that my eldest brother was born with congenital deficiencies and was a premature baby. With such talent, even if he was picked up and raised well, I'm afraid his body would be much weaker than that of an average person.

It's obvious that General Zhan has been practicing martial arts since he was young, so the possibility that he is my eldest brother is extremely small."

When Mu Yunyao heard about Zhan Wuhui's background, she did have doubts.

However, after seeing his skills, she gave up the idea.

Back then, Mu Jinnian did not have such deep feelings for Shen Qianjiao. The fundamental reason why he replaced his eldest brother was because his health was too poor. Almost all doctors said that he was difficult to support, and he wanted a healthy eldest son.
