The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

The next morning, Yun Mujiu was woken up by her maids and dressed up early, because today was an especially important day - the newlyweds had to go to the palace to meet the emperor and express their gratitude.

Yun Mujiu sat in front of the mirror with sleepy eyes. Qiu Tang and Dong Yu were combing her hair, while housekeeper Zeng was leading the servants to make preparations for entering the palace.

After a long time, the maids put on layer after layer of dresses for Yun Mujiu, and finally she was officially dressed up.

Yun Mujiu stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn't help but be amazed by his outfit and demeanor.

The outer layer is a brown and yellow wide-sleeved robe with lace, and a long skirt with light gold cloud and phoenix patterns that trails on the ground. The cuffs and collar are decorated with gold-woven cloud and phoenix patterns.

Her thick black hair was tied up high and held in place with a lotus crown. The base of the crown was an emerald ring decorated with jeweled flowers, and the front and back were decorated with emerald cloud-beaded flowers and pure white pearls. She wore a pair of gold-inlaid jeweled butterfly earrings.

She has an oval face with skin as white as cream, elegant makeup, eyebrows as black as ink, and eyes as beautiful as autumn.

Although the black birthmark on her face greatly reduced her original beauty, her restrained and elegant temperament could not be ignored.

Even the maids who had been serving him closely were stunned by Yun Mujiu's formal attire.

Chunlan was always very dignified, and said in a serious tone: "The princess already has a unique temperament, and after she dresses up a little, her temperament becomes even more outstanding."

The other three maids also echoed and praised Yun Mujiu.

Yun Mujiu smiled silently and said nothing. She knew that she was dressed so grandly today to attend some important occasion. Her intuition told her that there was definitely no good thing waiting for her in the palace.

Butler Zeng rushed over after taking care of everything. He smiled kindly. "Princess, everything has been taken care of. Please leave immediately."

"Where is the prince?"

"My princess, the prince is not feeling well, so you have to go to the palace alone to express your gratitude."

Yun Mujiu raised the end of his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

She had temporarily suppressed the poison for Ye Xiaohan, so he should be fine for now. In this case, Ye Xiaohan might have other matters to deal with, or he might not be interested or willing to go to the palace to see the emperor.

The regent of Zhongyue State, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, was already extremely powerful. Even though his power has been weakened now, he still has the capital to act arbitrarily.

Yun Mujiu nodded and said calmly: "Then let's go."

Zeng's old face smiled more brilliantly, but in fact he was crying in his heart: Fortunately, the princess is not angry! But I don't know why the prince didn't tell the princess in advance that he would not enter the palace for the time being. It seems that the prince still cares about the princess a little bit!

Housekeeper Zeng was really looking forward to having a real mistress in the Ye Mansion. You know, the prince has never allowed any strange woman to enter the Ye Mansion alive over the years. Although the prince and the princess do not know each other well, they know very little, and even have hostile and murderous intentions towards the princess.

But the housekeeper Zeng, who had many years of experience in dealing with people, had an intuition that the princess was not a bad person. Although he had only known the princess for a short time, he was able to roughly understand and perceive Yun Mujiu's nature in just a few days of getting along.

So he thought that the prince and the princess could perhaps try to get along a little better. After all, feelings can be cultivated slowly.

Housekeeper Zeng had already arranged a carriage to guard the gate of the Ye Mansion. As soon as Yun Mujiu arrived at the main gate, he saw a magnificent carriage waiting. It was drawn by two strong and handsome white horses, and the carriage was made of thousand-year-old golden nanmu ebony, which looked very noble under the warm winter sun.

Butler Zeng, the personal guards and the maids stood by quietly.

Yun Mujiu's eyes swept around calmly, and she opened her red lips slightly, saying in a clear and steady voice: "Let's go."

After saying this, she gently placed her right hand on the back of Chunlan's hand and got into the carriage with a dignified and graceful manner. Her movements were smooth and flowing, with a unique aura of aristocratic family.

Qiu Tang, who was following behind her, glanced at Yun Mujiu secretly and said to herself: "The princess has such a strong aura!"

Although Butler Zeng lowered his head slightly, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.

As expected of a princess! When I first met her, I felt that she was extraordinary! Today, she entered the palace alone, but she was not at all flustered and remained calm.

As soon as Yun Mujiu's carriage left Prince Ye's Mansion, Butler Zeng went to the study to report the situation to Ye Xiaohan.

"Your Highness, the princess has just left the palace. When the princess heard that you were not coming to the palace, her expression was a little surprised, but she didn't say much. The princess behaved properly and followed the etiquette very well."

Butler Zeng recounted Yun Mujiu's performance this morning. Although there was no personal subjective emotion in his description, the listeners could have a comprehensive understanding of Yun Mujiu's behavior.

Ye Xiaohan listened indifferently, but the originally steady sound of tapping on the table became a little irregular. Fortunately, no one noticed this irregular sound, so no one knew his mood at all.

Yun Mujiu is a smart man and knows how to take his own status and the reputation of the Ye Mansion into consideration.

The coldness in Ye Xiaohan's eyes deepened. At present, it was impossible to find out Yun Mujiu's background. The secrets of Yun Mujiu must be able to explain her sudden changes.

Although Ye Xiaohan didn't say anything, the shrewd butler Zeng noticed the depressing atmosphere in the room, so he immediately left after reporting the matter.

At this time, Wei Bo also rushed over and asked for an urgent meeting.

"Your Highness, the situation in the capital was turbulent yesterday. The Emperor was trying every means to deal with the assassins we sent to the Dali Temple and the Privy Council. Even last night, the morgue where the bodies were placed suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, the spies we planted discovered the fire and put it out in time. We also tightened the defense. Now the Emperor and his men can no longer destroy the bodies."

"Very good, I have long expected that my 'good brother' would resort to such means." Ye Xiaohan has been dealing with the emperor for so many years and has a thorough understanding of the emperor's character. He is a vindictive person who has no bottom line at all in order to protect his own interests.

"My Lord, what should we do next?"

"Increase public pressure. First, widely publicize the attack on Ye Mansion among the people. Second, let some of our people in the court pay attention to this matter and secretly put pressure on the emperor."

Yesterday, the Ye Mansion transported the assassin's body with great fanfare, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which instantly caused huge waves. Although the emperor's party tried their best to suppress the matter, it was too late. In addition, Ye Xiaohan's people were well prepared, so the emperor's party was now in a state of panic.

"Yes, I obey your command. In addition, Wei Song sent a letter saying that he will lead Doctor Wu and his daughter to the capital tomorrow. We will arrange for them to treat you then."

"Send someone to check their background in advance. Don't take it lightly."

Although Ye Xiaohan had reached an agreement with Yun Mujiu, he was always cautious and would not put all his hopes on one place. Moreover, there were too many suspicious points about Yun Mujiu. It would be difficult for any ordinary person to put his life on such a person.
