Every year on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, an annual festival is held in the palace. Not only many royal relatives and nobles, but also officials of all sizes in the capital can bring their families into the palace to participate.

Every day is a good time for the ladies of every family to show their talents.

Many people bring their best skills to perform in front of many dignitaries. Even in previous years, there were those who were valued by the emperor and promoted to harem concubines, and those who were admired here and became Mrs. XX are countless.

What's more, it doesn't need to be ranked second to show talent here, and the big guys have fewer scruples and are more willing to "show ugliness" in public.

And Ye Yun'er heard that not everyone has such a good opportunity. It's just that she doesn't know how to arrange it.

On this day, Mu Yihan specially invited Ye Yun'er to follow him into the palace and participate in this palace banquet.

Ye Yun'er was thinking about entering the palace to browse, knowing that this was a rare opportunity, she readily agreed.

She didn't think about performing any talent to win everyone's attention, because when she heard that Mu Yihan asked her to prepare a talent to take it, she didn't think so, she only felt that it was very redundant.

Ye Yun'er and Mu Yihan took a sedan chair together, entered the majestic palace gate, walked for a long time between the towering high walls, and bypassed many majestic palaces, zigzag verandahs, and only then entered the imperial garden surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, and there were pleasure boats floating in the lakes and mountains.

It is here that the palace banquet is to be held.

Ye Yun'er saw that almost every stout pillar in the palace was carved with lifelike golden dragons, and even more so on the cornices and arches, showing the royal nobility and distinction everywhere.

Before night fell, and before the lights were lit, officials and their families were already waiting one after another.

The servants of the palace had prepared snacks and tea to entertain the guests.

Ye Yun'er didn't know anyone here, and when she saw that Mu Yihan was noisy with others, she simply went to the garden by herself and toured around.

When she saw a plum blossom garden, the little bit of bright red immediately made her eyes shine brightly, and she couldn't wait to walk inside.

The fragrant plum blossoms make her pleasing to the eye and linger.

She couldn't help but read out a poem she was most familiar with in her previous life, "A few plums in the corner, Ling Han opened the ...... alone"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of applause and cheers from the side, "Good poetry, good poetry!" I didn't expect to take a walk here, and I would meet a strange woman full of poetry and books, which can be described as my luck. ”

Ye Yun'er turned her head to look and saw that it was a man of the same age as herself, knowing that he had never heard of this poem, and thought that she had done it herself, so she didn't bother to defend it, and raised her eyebrows, "I don't know if you are?" ”

Faintly, from the man's handsome and delicate face, she saw Mu Yihan's shadow.

It's just that the man's face is a little pale, his lips are also blue-white, and he lowers his head and coughs twice from time to time, and he doesn't seem to be very healthy.

Ye Yun'er only thought it was her own illusion.

"It seems that the girl is not from the capital." The other party said, a bright smile set off that face with some brilliance, "If everyone in the capital is beautiful, no one will know who I am." ”

"Not only am I not from the capital, but I'm not a lady." Ye Yun'er said calmly, "I'm just a businessman, and I was born in poverty and lived in a humble alley for a long time, so naturally I don't know so many aristocratic sons. ”

The other party was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that Shang Jia could also come to participate in the palace banquet now, so it can be seen that the queen mother has loosened the gate this time." If it were the first two years, you wouldn't have been able to get in. ”

"Is the queen mother very powerful?" Ye Yun'er asked tentatively.

The other party felt a little funny about this question, "poof" smiled, and said: "I don't dare to comment at will, just tell the truth." ”

The smile did not stop, and it triggered his illness again, and he began to cough violently.

"Are you alright?" Ye Yun'er asked with concern, and stepped forward, not knowing whether to help him pat him and smooth him out.

The man softened for a moment before turning his head to look at her and said, "It's okay." This is an old problem with a small one, and all the imperial doctors have come to see it, but it can't be cured. ”

After speaking, he looked at the endless Merlin again, and said as if talking to himself: "They also said that I am afraid that I will not live to be eighteen years old." Next year, it's my deadline...... Therefore, I can still take a look at such a beautiful scenery, so don't miss it. ”

These words made Ye Yun'er feel a heartache for no reason, she gradually wrinkled her brows, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"Let's go back, the emperor and queen and the concubines should also come."

Ye Yun'er nodded, and followed him to the front.

Mu Yihan was looking for Ye Yun'er, and when he saw her and a person walking out of the plum garden, he hurriedly greeted her.

When he got closer, he looked at the man next to Ye Yun'er, his eyes flashed with intimacy, and he smiled: "Eighth brother, are you feeling better today, and you are also coming to participate in the palace banquet?" ”

Ye Yun'er shook for a moment, only to realize that the person beside her was the eighth prince Mu Yiyun, Mu Yihan's half-brother.

"It's better today, I'm bored at home, so I want to go out for a walk." The Eighth Prince also replied gently, "Especially after seeing this girl, I am even more refreshed and happy." ”

He glanced at Ye Yun'er, his eyes full of appreciation for her.

Mu Yihan didn't know what had happened between the two, but he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that Ye Yun'er could make his rare brother happy.

"That's very good, then let Yun'er accompany you more and relieve your boredom." Mu Yihan said.

"This is the Ye Yun'er that you often mention, big brother?" Mu Yiyun was slightly surprised, and looked at Ye Yun'er with more impressive eyes, "I didn't expect that Miss Ye is not only good at business, but also so exquisite in literature, which is really admirable." ”

"Where, it's just some carving insect skills." Ye Yun'er replied humbly.

Not long after, the emperor and queen came to the imperial garden first, and they were followed by a group of concubines, flowers and branches, and they couldn't count.

Everyone respectfully worshipped, and a huge imperial garden was suddenly silent.

"Zhongqing is flat." The emperor sat down on the dragon chair at the top and said with a smile, "You can make trouble as much as you want today, and I will come with Aiqing without getting drunk and not returning!" ”

It seems that the emperor is in a strong mood today, and everyone is also laughing, blindly setting off the atmosphere.

Out of etiquette, Ye Yun'er sat under Mu Yihan and Mu Yiyun, picked up one of the plum blossom cakes on the table, and ate it by herself, while enjoying the elegant and moving singing and dancing, not to mention how comfortable she was.

After Ouyang Xiao came with his parents and brothers, he immediately searched for Mu Yihan's location.

When she saw Mu Yihan bowing her head and sitting with Ye Yun'er sitting, her eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness, and she walked up quickly regardless of it.
