Ji Yun felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to coax Manman to change the name.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ning Yu staring at him fiercely.
Ji Yun had no choice but to suppress his impulsive thoughts and rubbed his limp hair. "...I'm here because I have something to ask your mother."
Ji Yun turned and left.
Manman watched Ji Yun disappear from her sight in a few seconds, her mouth opened in surprise, "Mom, can big brother fly? He disappeared in an instant."
This question really touched upon her blind spots in knowledge.
If her spiritual power still existed, she would naturally be able to fly in the clouds.
"Can I take you flying?"
Manman blinked her big eyes at Ning Yu. She couldn't bear to refuse and said gently, "If he agrees to you, then mother will allow it."
Time flies, and the flower viewing banquet is held as scheduled.
Surrounded by carriages drawn by four horses and carriages with carved horses, an ordinary carriage stood out particularly outside the gate of the imperial palace.
Some people noticed it, but didn't take it seriously.
Because carriages were not allowed to enter, except for those from high-ranking families, all other invited ladies and girls needed to be checked and then walk in on their own.
Soon it was Ning Yu's turn to be examined. The guard had a serious face, but seeing that Ning Yu was pretty and had a slim figure, he became a little more relaxed during the examination.
Imperial Garden.
The Queen sat on the high platform, looking anxious, and kept looking into the distance, "Why hasn't Miss Ning come yet?"
Nanny Qin smiled and said, "My Lady, don't worry. What's meant to happen will happen naturally."
Ning Yu did meet someone he was familiar with, which was why he was delayed.
It was Old Madam Song and a strange girl.
Ning Yu knew that Old Madam Song didn't like her, and she didn't intend to pay any attention to it.
Old Madam Song was a little surprised to see Ning Yu in the palace. She said in a condescending tone, "Miss Ning, although you have been conferred the title of Xiangjun by the Emperor, you are still just a widow. If you want to marry Ziyu, you can only be a concubine, and then take Qingjun as your mistress..."
Qin Qingjun knew that Ning Yu was beautiful, but she didn't expect her to be so stunning. If she really entered the back house, Song Ziyu would be in her hands.
Qin Qingjun suppressed the jealousy in her eyes and smiled lightly, "Sister, I won't treat you unfairly after you enter the mansion."
Ning Yu was almost amused by these two people and sneered at Qin Qingjun, "I don't have a sister as ugly as you."
Qin Qingjun was so angry that his face turned pale and blue.
Ning Yu looked at Madam Song again and deliberately said, "Madam Song, why am I here? Is it just because of my status as a county lord?"
Madam Song's pupils shrank slightly, and she said in disbelief, "Impossible! How could the Empress and the Crown Prince like you?"
Ning Yu touched her face and smiled captivatingly, "It's my face."
She did have some guesses that the Queen's inexplicable invitation to her to the flower-viewing banquet might have been Ji Yun's doing.
Ning Yu ignored the two people and paced towards the imperial garden.
At the flower viewing banquet.
A sweet voice came, "Auntie!"
She had her hair combed into a nine-braid bun in the Wangxian style and was wearing a pomegranate-red robe with a cloud-pattern, which made her face look even more charming.
The queen smiled when she saw Ye Jingyi, "Come, sit next to your aunt later."
Ye Jingyi felt the envious gazes around him and raised his chin proudly, "Thank you, auntie."
Ye Jingyi was about to continue expressing her admiration to the Queen, but the Queen seemed to have no patience to talk to her.
Ye Jingyi had no choice but to hold back.
Ning Yu found a more secluded corner to sit down, hoping to be less conspicuous.
Soon the banquet began. The palace maids served the dishes slowly, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
Although it was a flower viewing banquet, it was actually a talent show.
Many girls have already volunteered to show their talents.
Ning Yu watched and ate seasonal fruits leisurely.
This scene quickly caught the queen's attention.
"That girl is quite interesting. Everyone else is performing their talents, but she's the only one eating and drinking."
Nanny Qin followed the Queen's gaze and lowered her voice, "Your Majesty, that is Miss Ning."
The queen immediately became interested and gestured for Ning Yu to come forward.
Ning Yu was stunned for a moment when he received the Queen's order, but he still slowly stepped forward and saluted the Queen.
"Look up."
Ning Yu raised his chin slightly, his eyes lowered.
She had her hair combed in a fallen horse bun, with only a jade hairpin inserted on her head. She was wearing a moon-white gauze dress embroidered with gold thread. Her figure was graceful, slender and beautiful.
The queen's eyes showed admiration, what a stunning beauty!
No wonder Yun'er was moved.
Thinking that she had given birth to the Crown Prince's only child, the Queen became more and more satisfied. "She is truly a natural beauty."
When the people present heard the queen praising Ning Yu, they became extremely jealous.
Meng Ning of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion also noticed Ning Yu, the woman she pushed out to ward off disaster in Fengyue Tower.
Meng Ning couldn't help but recall her past life. She remembered that after the flood broke out in Jiangnan, it was the third prince who went to provide disaster relief and was praised by the emperor.
But now he has become the crown prince, and inexplicably there is a female doctor who was awarded the title of Xiangjun for her contribution to relief.
Ever since the prince died, everything has changed completely.
When Ye Jingyi heard Ning Yu being praised by her aunt, she immediately felt jealous and resentful. She couldn't help but say, "She's just a widow with a burden! She's not worthy of attending this flower viewing banquet at all."
If the Crown Prince cousin saw Ning Yu's appearance, he would definitely be attracted to her.
As soon as these words were spoken, the oil pan began to boil as if water had been poured into it.
There was a lot of discussion.
Harsh and mocking looks were cast at Ning Yu.
Ning Yu remained calm.
The Queen glanced at Ye Jingyi and suddenly felt a little displeased.
She originally thought that her niece's son was at most a little spoiled, but she didn't expect that he would deliberately expose Ning Yu's origins in front of so many people.
"So what? When the epidemic broke out, she didn't care about her own life at all. She only cared about the people. She even handed over the prescription passed down from her ancestors. With this, she is qualified to participate in the flower viewing banquet."
A deep voice came.
Ji Yun strode over, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a purple gold crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. He had an upright posture, a handsome face, and an imposing and noble aura.
When the girls saw Ji Yun's handsome and elegant face, their cheeks gradually turned red and they all said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Ye Jingyi's eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he was a little bit unbelievable, "Brother Crown Prince, you actually said that to me for a widow, when I am obviously your cousin..."
The prince glanced at her, his tone extremely cold, "Who are you?"
Ye Jingyi felt as if struck by lightning, and her body swayed. She didn't expect that her cousin, the prince, whom she had been thinking about so much, didn't recognize her.
