The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

When it was almost time for dinner, the Emperor happened to arrive at the Queen's bedroom - Fengyi Palace.

I heard the eunuch's voice before I saw him.

"The Emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's shrill shout brought the quiet conversation in the bedroom to an abrupt end.

Yun Mujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to continue talking to the queen. She had to be careful not to expose her identity and affect the Night Palace. This kind of chat was really tiring!

The emperor strode in, escorted by guards, palace maids, and eunuchs.

He has strong features, a high forehead, big ears, stern eyes, and an expression that is majestic without being angry.

He was wearing a yellow robe embroidered with a pattern of soaring dragons over the sea. As he walked, the corners of his robe rippled like waves of surging golden water.

Yun Mujiu said that if she didn't have the soul of a modern person and had not been tempered and experienced many things, she might have been intimidated by the emperor's aura and appearance like an ordinary person.

She bowed deeply to the emperor. After all, she was currently living in this dynasty and had to abide by the corresponding rules and regulations.

Fortunately, the emperor did not make things difficult for her. He looked at Yun Mujiu deeply and waved his hand to let her stand up.

"Yun Mujiu, what happened on your way to the palace this time?" This was an affirmative tone, not a rhetorical question. The first sentence the emperor asked was a direct question to Yun Mujiu, implying that Yun Mujiu was accusing him of causing trouble.

This is the imperial palace, and the emperor has countless spies. Yun Mujiu's every move in the palace is under the "supervision" of the emperor's men.

Therefore, what happened to Yun Mujiu and his party at the palace gate had long been heard by the emperor, and of course, by the concubines in the harem. The queen had also known about this matter a long time ago, but she couldn't act without the emperor's permission, so the emperor came forward.

Yun Mujiu lowered her head slightly. She knew that the emperor would definitely mention the matter of entering the palace. After all, the emperor's original intention was to create trouble for Prince Ye's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, please understand! I came to the palace to express my gratitude and accept your kindness, but I didn't expect to be stopped by the gate guards when I entered the palace."

"The palace guards are ordered to guard the palace gates, but you were causing trouble and getting into an argument with others at the door again?" The emperor asked this question, questioning whether Yun Mujiu was causing trouble.

After all, the original owner had a rude personality and often clashed with others. Yun Mujiu must have done something wrong or said something wrong, so the guards stopped her from entering. People who knew the original owner Yun Mujiu's personality naturally knew that Yun Mujiu often made jokes.

Of course, the emperor knew that the guards at the door were trying to make things difficult for Yun Mujiu according to his wishes. They wanted Yun Mujiu to enter through the side door in order to damage the reputation of the Ye Mansion.

Ye Xiaohan was too ill to enter the palace, so Yun Mujiu was the only one who came. Ye Xiaohan could avoid the trouble of entering the palace, but the emperor could start with Yun Mujiu, after all, Yun Mujiu would be a member of the Ye Mansion after marrying Ye Xiaohan.

"Your Majesty, please understand. I wanted to follow the usual route to enter the palace through the main gate, but the guard said that the main gate was under maintenance and asked me to go through the side gate."

"Then why don't you follow the instructions?"

The emperor spoke in a loud voice, his eyes revealed a strong sense of majesty and oppression, just to scare Yun Mujiu. A mere Yun Mujiu actually dared to confront the guards at the palace gate.

The Queen heard the change in the Emperor's tone and couldn't help but look at Yun Mujiu.

The maids beside them shrank their heads subconsciously. This was the emperor! If he got angry and implicated them, it would be disastrous!

Yun Mujiu lowered his eyes and hid the smile that appeared in his eyes.

She shuddered and began to shake.

"Your Majesty, no one is repairing the door. Instead, the door is ajar."

She paused and continued, "Perhaps the guards were negligent in their duties and did not understand the situation carefully, which led to my small mistake in entering the palace this time."

The emperor stared at Yun Mujiu, but he could not see any sign of guilt on her part. Yun Mujiu was just the useless daughter that Prime Minister Yun valued the least, so how come she suddenly became so eloquent? Could it be that Ye Xiaohan taught her this?

He said slowly: "So that's the case. I will definitely deal with these guys who are not doing their job well!" It was just a simple task, but these guards didn't even do their job completely!

"Your Majesty, they did not mean to do that. I entered the palace on time and did not miss the time. Fortunately, I did not disappoint the prince's instructions."

"Otherwise, if I miss the time by going through the side door, it will be bad if the prince finds out. I'm afraid he will blame me."

"I have always been very stupid and I don't know how to do many things. I am afraid that my husband's family will dislike me as soon as I get married."

Speaking of the Night King, Yun Mujiu couldn't help but feel a little shy, like a real wife. Her expression and actions were similar to when she was chasing after the prince.

The emperor did not respond to Yun Mujiu, but Yun Mujiu became more and more excited.

She kept on blabbering on, as if she had found an outlet to vent, releasing all the words that had been suppressed for a long time.

"Your Majesty, I left the Yun Mansion where I grew up and came to the Ye Mansion. It's really hard for me to adapt. The prince has always been a serious person, so I have to be very careful every day."

My life has not been easy since I married Ye Xiaohan, and it's all thanks to you.

"Empress, with my status, I am able to be granted marriage by the Emperor to marry the prince. This is considered marrying above my station, right? What do you think of this marriage?"

Humph, what else can you say? Of course it was agreed upon! After all, although I was forced to break the engagement first, in fact, the emperor and all of you did not approve of this childhood marriage between me and the prince, and secretly blocked it many times.

"But I'm a little uncomfortable with this. Am I unworthy of being the Queen of the Night?"

I was originally betrothed to the prince, but was suddenly ordered to marry the prince's uncle, the seriously injured Ye Xiaohan, which was equivalent to a "not so good" marriage. Now no one in the capital is willing, and no one dares to marry their daughter to Ye Xiaohan in his current situation.

"I feel like I've caused a lot of trouble for the Night King's Mansion. What should I do?"

……

Yun Mujiu started talking, like a resentful woman who had suffered a lot of grievances, while the emperor and the empress just listened to her, and even became more and more irritated and impatient the more they listened.

Every word she said had other implications, and the emperor and empress could hear them. But considering Yun Mujiu's intelligence, they just thought that Yun Mujiu was just speaking her mind.

At this time, the emperor and the queen finally put their minds at ease. It turned out that Yun Mujiu's performance today was indeed taught by King Ye. Otherwise, how could Miss Yun, who was known as a good-for-nothing by everyone in the capital, suddenly change so much!

They knew Yun Xiang, and naturally knew what kind of person Yun Mujiu had been since he was a child. In addition, Yun Mujiu was still hiding his abilities, so they would never think that Yun Mujiu had been "replaced", nor would they think of things like "soul crossing".

From this, we can also know that the last time Yun Mujiu dismissed the dowry servants of the Yun Mansion on the second day of her wedding, it was Ye Xiaohan who asked Yun Mujiu to come forward, but in fact, the real person who coordinated and controlled the situation was Ye Xiaohan. Yun Mujiu was just a "representative" on the surface.

When the emperor learned what he wanted to know about the marriage status of Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Didn’t the arrogant and condescending God of War Ye Xiaohan also end up with a disfigured face and crippled legs?

Didn't Ye Xiaohan, who thought himself to be noble and aloof from women, end up being forced to be with an ugly, useless and stupid woman?

This fool Yun Mujiu not only insulted Ye Xiaohan's reputation and caused trouble for the Ye Palace, but also cut off Ye Xiaohan's means of winning over others through marriage. This marriage really kills three birds with one stone, which is gratifying and worth celebrating!

The emperor didn't want to listen to Yun Mujiu's nonsense anymore and directly ordered his servants to serve the meal.

The queen also showed Yun Mujiu a gentle smile. "Mujiu, come on, you must be hungry, let's eat first."

Yun Mujiu, who had been talking incessantly, finally stopped.

At the dinner table, Yun Mujiu kept in mind the etiquette and manners from the original owner's memory, and did not make any mistakes in his manners and behavior.

However, she also deliberately made some movements seem unskilled. After all, the original owner, Yun Mujiu, did not have very good manners and etiquette. This way, it would be difficult for others to notice the problem.

During this lunch, apart from the occasional maid bringing new dishes and introducing them, there was no other sound at the table.

Everyone had their own thoughts in their minds, but they stopped talking and enjoyed the meal quietly together.
