From the proud look in Shen Wanyue's eyes when she left, she knew that she had been tricked. The eldest princess had a grudge against their general's residence, so naturally she couldn't see her being so arrogant.
And Shen Wanyue also expected this.
Yuan Jiahe didn't quite understand. She frowned and asked, "What does Shen Wanyue want to do with you?"
Without waiting for Mu Yun'an's reply, Concubine Yan on the side said: "Of course I want to find a supporter to regain His Majesty's favor. I also underestimated her."
Yuan Jiahe understood now that all Shen Wanyue did was to win the sympathy of the eldest princess, and then use the eldest princess's relationship to show her face to her father.
She said angrily: "This Shen Wanyue is really restless."
Mu Yun'an disagreed: "It's a pity that my cousin may have made a mistake in her wishful thinking."
In the past, the eldest princess was indeed favored, but it is hard to say now. Although the eldest princess was not implicated in leaking Yan Jingxuan's identity to the deposed prince, it does not mean that His Majesty did not know about it.
Concubine Yan was noncommittal, and she advised: "No matter what, you should be more careful in the palace. As for enduring the calm for a while, Kang Le is still a princess named by His Majesty, so I will give her the face she deserves."
Mu Yunan and Yuan Jiahe looked taught.
Concubine Yan looked at the well-behaved appearance of the two children and felt somewhat comforted. Seeing that it was getting late, she said, "Let's go, the palace banquet is about to begin."
Mu Yun'an and Yuan Jiahe accompanied Concubine Yan on the left and right. When they were walking on the road, Mu Yun'an pulled Mu Yunhuan over and said: "Concubine Yan, this is my second sister. You also said I’ve seen it.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunhuan hurriedly bowed to Concubine Yan.
Only then did Concubine Yan notice Mu Yunhuan. She nodded and said, "I was just talking to the county master, but I forgot about Miss Mu Er. Don't be surprised."
Mu Yunhuan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
Concubine Yan held her hand and said, "You don't have to be restrained. Since His Majesty has granted the marriage, you can go to the palace more often when the family has free time."
Mu Yunhuan lowered her eyes and responded, feeling a little moved in her heart. She thought Concubine Yan didn't like her and was still worried about what she would do if she married Queen Jing?
Now it seems that she is worrying too much, and this is thanks to Yan Yan.
If it weren't for Yan Yan's sake, she probably wouldn't be able to catch Concubine Yan's eyes due to her status as a legitimate daughter of low birth.
While talking, the group arrived at the Royal Garden.
This is when the flowers are in full bloom, so it is called the Hundred Flowers Feast. Although the Hundred Flowers Feast is held every year, just like the examination, a beauty contest is held every three years.
The so-called beauty contest is when the ladies attending the banquet show off their best talents, and then the palace concubine will judge and select the best among them.
This is a rare opportunity for the ladies of the capital to express themselves.
After everyone sat down, they waited for the banquet to begin. Yuan Jiahe and Mu Yunan sat together. She asked curiously: "What are you going to perform today?"
Mu Yun'an shrugged: "I'm not as good as others in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so the only thing I can do is dance."
Yuan Jiahe was shocked: "Dancing? This...there has been no dancing at the Hundred Flowers Banquet since ancient times. Are you sure you want to dance?"
Mu Yun'an curled her lips and said with a smile: "Of course I am sure, but my dance is unusual, just wait and see."
In her previous life, she was the laughing stock of everyone at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Now, in her rebirth, she must avenge her past humiliation and let everyone know that she, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, is not an idiot.
Yuan Jiahe started to look forward to it after hearing what she said. At this time, the gongs and drums sounded, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet officially began.
