Liu Wuyou and Yinhua were led to their seats by the palace maids.
She looked around and recognized three people: the Queen, Concubine Wei, and Mu Yunran.
And Mu Yunran was sitting on her left.
Mu Yunran was a princess and she was a county lady, so when Mu Yunran came over to greet her, Liu Wuyou stood up and saluted her.
"No need to be so polite. I heard you are in poor health. Please sit down."
There was only one seat, so Liu Wuyou couldn't just sit down. She smiled softly and said, "We'll have to sit for a long time when the banquet starts, so it's better to stand for a while now."
Mu Yunran smiled gently. Even after more than two years, the title of the most beautiful woman in Dongling Kingdom still belonged to her. Time had left no traces on her face, but made her even more beautiful and charming.
"That's true. Let's go over there and enjoy the scenery." Mu Yunran said, pointing to the scenery outside the hall.
Liu Wuyou suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
It seemed like this when Dongfang Yunhe suddenly invited her to appreciate the flowers together?
"Okay, Princess, please." Liu Wuyou agreed flattered, hoping in his heart that Mu Yunran would never cause trouble with Dongfang Yunhe.
Mu Yunran is still single and beautiful, and the people who want to marry her are lining up outside Guangling City.
But she looked down on none of them.
Now she is a 19-year-old "old girl".
"I'm a little younger than you, so is it okay for me to call you Sister Wuyou?" Mu Yunran said affectionately to Liu Wuyou with a smile on his face, and took her arm actively.
Liu Wuyou looked at the face and nodded without hesitation, "Of course it's okay if the princess doesn't mind." She was so beautiful that he really wanted to say good things to her.
"Sister Wuyou, just call me Yunran."
"Okay, Yunran."
The two of them came hand in hand to an exquisite little lotus pond. This was a newly created artificial landscape. Lotus flowers were blooming even though it was not even April yet. It really shows that if you have money, you can do whatever you want.
"Sister Wuyou, my favorite is the pure lotus that rises from the mud without being stained. I never thought I could see such beautiful lotus flowers in full bloom at this time of year."
"Yeah." Liu Wuyou nodded. She didn't expect this either.
In addition to the lotus pond, there are many other landscapes with different themes, all of which are very beautiful, making the banquet look particularly high-end and wealthy.
Perhaps this is what the royal family considers to be a manifestation of strength.
Mu Yunran was very interested in pulling Liu Wuyou to look here and there. She was pretty and spoke gently, so Liu Wuyou was not averse to her.
But Liu Wuyou was still on guard, because she still didn't know why Mu Yunran suddenly wanted to be friends with her.
Until Mu Yunran suddenly mentioned something.
"Sister Wuyou, I heard that you had some conflicts with Princess Yunhe when you entered the palace a few days ago?" Mu Yunran frowned slightly, looking worried and curious.
Liu Wuyou suddenly remembered that, yes, Mu Yunran and Dongfang Yunhe had been at odds with each other for many years.
So this is an attempt to win over her, who has a grudge against Dongfang Yunhe?
But she is just the daughter of a court official, a mere county princess, so it would be useless to win her over.
After a lot of thoughts, Liu Wuyou nodded and said, "Something unpleasant happened."
"Just a little unhappiness? I heard from the old maid in the Empress Dowager's palace that Princess Yunhe poisoned you, and you almost died in the palace..."
"That's not the case." Liu Wuyou shook his head and denied Mu Yunran's statement.
Mu Yunran frowned and pulled Liu Wuyou, saying distressedly, "Sister Wuyou, don't be afraid. I know His Majesty has already ordered the news to be suppressed and has even awarded you the title of County Lord as compensation, so I won't mention this matter anymore, lest it have a bad influence on you if others hear about it."
