The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"why you?"

Without Yun Nian present, Ning Sinian no longer needed to pretend. He immediately took back the invitation letter he had written word by word, and looked at the woman in front of him with unfriendly eyes.

"Prince, my sister asked me to come."

Yun Nian was serious, Ning Sinian thought of this hesitantly. She was really pushing herself towards Yun Jiao. She was not shy or playing hard to get. She really wanted to get rid of herself.

"How dare she do this to me!"

Ning Sinian crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball with an expressionless face, snorted coldly, turned around and left, not caring about Yun Jiao who was left alone there.

……

Today is the Imperial Concubine's birthday. The palace is brightly lit, and the palace maids and eunuchs are fluttering around like butterflies.

"The Prime Minister and his family have arrived~"

Yun Nian stretched out her voice and quietly followed Yun Fang and Liu Shulan in, wearing an emerald jade hairpin.

My brother and father will participate in another palace, and the three of them need to go to the Imperial Garden, where the Imperial Concubine will personally meet them.

Yun Nian had never seen the Imperial Concubine. She had never heard of the Imperial Concubine holding a banquet in her previous life. She only knew that the Imperial Concubine seemed to have passed away very soon in a fire. After the Imperial Concubine's death, the Prince also lost a power to protect her, and the struggles among the court officials became more intense.

Liu Shulan looked at her daughter's silence. She always hoped that she could be more elegant and quiet, but now she felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter so gentle.

"Sisi, if you feel tired later, remember to tell mother."

Sisi has not been in good health recently. It would be bad if she gets sick again due to overwork.

Liu Shulan stretched out her hand to touch Yun Nian's forehead, but she dodged it again. Her hand stopped in mid-air and slowly clenched.

Sisi doesn't like her touch anymore, why? Is she still angry?

She glanced at Yun Jiao unkindly, then thought about where she was now, and tried to straighten her demeanor.

"I'm fine, mother. After all, it's the Imperial Concubine who invited you, so it's better not to cause any trouble."

Her eyes lightly met Liu Shulan's for a moment and then moved away.

All the famous ladies from official families in Luochuan City appeared before him. The ceremony was much more grand than the one held by Princess Rongyang last time.

Yun Nian also saw Shen Ningsi and Huo Daiyu, and her eyes softened unconsciously.

Huo Daiyu wanted to wave carelessly, but after being glared at by Shen Ningsi, he saluted hesitantly.

“Oh, if Ningsi and Sisi weren’t here, I wouldn’t want to come here.”

"Shut up, how could I give birth to a daughter like you who doesn't understand the ways of the world? The imperial concubine invited you, but you didn't come. Do you think your mother has lived enough?"

Her mother was very similar to her, even down to her explosive temper.

Unfortunately, the position of the general was quite far from that of Yun Nian and Shen Ningsi. However, Shen Ningsi greeted Liu Shulan softly and looked at Yun Nian with gentle eyes.

Of course, she didn't even glance at Yun Jiao.

By the time they sat down, the noble lady had not arrived yet. This was a familiar process. They could only let the ladies wait, and there was no way they could let the lady sit there idly.

This was totally different from what Yun Jiao had imagined. She thought that Madam Liu would be with the others, and she would be with Princess Rongyang. But now she could only sit next to Liu Shulan and couldn't even take a step out.

"Jiaojiao, we are not at home today. You can't move around casually. If you are rude, it will be bad."

Liu Shulan said softly, but she did not tell Yun Nian to do so. She stretched out her hand with a jade bead bracelet on her hand.

If you look closely under the sun, you can see that one of them is slightly different from the others. Unfortunately, at night, under the light of candlelight, it is difficult to see the difference.

Since Wei Qingjue said that the pill is not poisonous, then it shouldn't be a problem for her to smell it a few more times, right?

Yun Nian sniffed the beads a few times, but still didn't know what they were. She just felt a burst of fragrance that made her feel relaxed and happy.

Huo Daiyu on the opposite side saw her action and made a face to attract her attention. Yun Nian almost laughed out loud, and looked at General Huo pulling her ear.

"The royal concubine is here!"

As soon as the eunuch's sharp voice shouted, the surroundings immediately became silent. Yun Nian bowed his head and bowed, feeling a sense of encounter passing through his nose, and then he went to the high platform to marry.

"Be flat."

A gentle voice came from above his head. Yun Nian responded and sat down. His sight turned naturally and he saw the woman sitting in the high seat.

She was wearing a black robe with gold threads, looking dignified and majestic, but her face was different from what Yun Nian had imagined. She thought the imperial concubine would have a more enchanting and charming appearance, but she looked more dignified and upright.

"Today is my birthday, and I specially invite you all to come and celebrate and share my wishes. Please."

She stretched out her hand and raised the wine glass. Yun Nian naturally picked up the glass in his hand like the others.

However, the cups of these younger generations did not contain wine, but sweet water. Yun Nian guessed that it must be made from the delicious fruits that were grown in abundance in Southern Yan.

She looked at the imperial concubine on the stage and always felt that she had a subtle feeling, but when she thought about it carefully, she couldn't grasp anything.

"Sisi, don't look around. The queen will notice you later."

Liu Shulan's faint voice came over, she glanced at him lightly and warned,

"Yes, I know I was wrong, mother."

Yun Nian simply lowered his head and looked at the table in front of him.

Don't even think about eating your fill at a banquet like this, as someone is watching your every move. Fortunately, she had eaten a few cakes in her small kitchen before coming here, otherwise her stomach would be growling now.

"Gululu~"

But Yun Nian still heard the strange sound of her stomach. She stared at herself with wide eyes, and then the sound came again. She looked to her left.

Yun Jiao covered her belly with her hands, her face flushed. She looked around cautiously, and when her eyes met Yun Nian's, a flash of embarrassment flashed across her face.

"..."

She still remembered that when she attended the banquet for the first time, Liu Shulan specially stuffed a few candies for her in the carriage, but why didn't Yun Jiao know about it? Didn't her mother tell her?

Receiving Yun Nian's gaze, Liu Shulan paused for a moment and took out two candies from her sleeves.

"take it."

As expected, she said that her mother should prepare some for Yun Jiao. She stuffed the candy into Yun Jiao's hand quite smoothly, and naturally did not notice the surprise in Liu Shulan's eyes.

She thought Yun Nian was hungry.
