Mu Yunyao brought the Poison Matriarch into the palace. As soon as they got off the carriage, various gazes landed on her.

Madame Jin, who had been waiting at the door the entire time, hurried to greet him, her eyes filled with worry.

"Yao'er, is Grand Princess Yi better now?

" She had been stopped several times when she had gone to the Battle King's Palace. When she heard that Yunyao had been taken to the Qin Fang Garden, she finally relaxed a little. With the Grand Princess's protection, it shouldn't be a problem and she couldn't openly ask about Yunyao's condition, so she could only ask the Grand Princess and use this chance to probe her mouth.

Wind.

Mu Yunyao held Lady Jin's hand. To see the truth in such adversity, she was still unhesitatingly standing by his side. It was evident that she was truly worried to the extreme.

"Mother, don't worry. Grandmother is already fine.

"

"That's good, that's good, we still have to... Be careful, you know?

" Lady Jin glanced at Mu Yunyao's lower abdomen, her eyes filled with happiness and worry.

"Alright.

" Mu Yunyao slightly squeezed Lady Jin's hand, before bringing her into the palace.

Along the way, all the ladies and ladies who came to attend the banquet sized up and searched through their sight without end. Mu Yunyao remained as unmoving as a mountain as she headed to the empress's Zhaoyang Palace with a calm expression.

The decorations of Zhaoyang Palace were completely new as the palace maids led the ladies and ladies to their seats in an orderly manner.

Not long after Mu Yunyao sat down, the attendant's voice rang out,

"The Empress has arrived.

"

Min Fanghua, dressed in a red phoenix robe, walked in majestically with her maid behind her. Everyone quickly rose to greet her.

"We're here to attend the empress.

"

"Exempt from formalities. Today, all of you are to be invited to participate in the palace feast of begging and enjoy the night together. Do not be restrained, and it will be as if you were in your own residence.

"

As soon as Min Fanghua finished speaking, one of the wives spoke up,

"The empress is the model for all the women in the world. We have the honor of attending your festival feast. It's been a blessing we've enjoyed for several lifetimes.

"

"That's right. With the empress's blessing protecting us, we'll definitely all be clever and clever in our new year.

" The empress's face was full of smiles, but she looked very happy. After the crowd said a few words, she couldn't help but look in Mu Yunyao's direction,

"In terms of intelligence and skill, I'm afraid even as an empress, I can't compare to Fourth Sister-in-Law. Yunyao, this piece of clothing you're wearing …

It's really pretty, but did I make it myself?

"

Hearing the empress suddenly mention Mu Yunyao, the hall suddenly went silent, and everyone turned their gazes over. Some people wished they could see through the table and see if Mu Yunyao really had a child in her womb. Today, Mu Yunyao was wearing a silk dress with silver flowers on her lower half and a silk ribbon around her waist. Coupled with the pinkish green seal of her hair, it made her skin as clear as white jade and her face as pink flowers. At first glance, it was clear that Zhao Yang Palace was so huge that …

No one could match her good color.

"Reporting to the empress, this set of clothes was made by the empress by the embroidery lady. She was originally the shopkeeper at the capital Nebula Market. After that, she handed it to the imperial government, so she withdrew and signed a new contract with the Fu Family. She's now working for the government.

"

The empress laughed, her tone unclear,

"The embroidery ladies of Fourth Sister-in-Law's residence are naturally the best in the world. Even those in the Imperial Palace cannot compare.

"

Everyone did not dare to say anything. The emperor was the lord of the world, so the people and things within the palace should be the best. But now the empress said that Embroidered Niang could not compare to the Residence of the Duke of Yue, this was truly killing the heart.

Mu Yunyao's expression did not change.

"It's only a trick of embroidery that conceals the flaws of the technique. I don't dare to be praised by the Empress.

"

"I heard that Fourth Sister hasn't been feeling very well these two days?

" Are you feeling better?

"

"I've worried the empress. It's just that the weather is hot and she doesn't like to eat much. It's nothing.

"

"That's good. Although rumors are everywhere, as long as this person sits upright, he will naturally not be afraid of gossip, right Fourth Sister-in-Law?

"

"Esteemed Empress is right. As the saying goes, rumors stop with the wise. It's likely that none of you in Zhao Yang Hall believe those rumors.

"

The empress chuckled and turned her head to instruct the mama beside her,

"Let the banquet begin.

"

"Yes.

"

Those that could not be protected were the ones who killed their sons. No one wanted to be hated by that Prince Charming of King Yue.

However, looking at the meaning behind the empress's words, it seemed that she was slightly dissatisfied with the Duke of Yue's residence. Could it be that the rumors were true, that the Emperor was afraid of the Duke of Yue's authority and wanted to eradicate him?

The banquet went smoothly, and all sorts of delicacies were prepared. When a plate of squirrel cinnamon fish was served, Mu Yunyao suddenly held her chest and retched.

The empress looked over, her expression indifferent.

"What's wrong with Fourth Sister-in-Law? But the dishes are not to your liking?

"

"Please forgive me, empress. Yunyao is being rude …

"

"Ugh …

" Mu Yunyao covered her mouth and nose with the handkerchief as she kept retching until her eyes turned red.

The empress frowned.

"I can see that Fourth Sister-in-Law isn't feeling well, do you need to call the imperial physician over to take a look?

"

"No!

" Mu Yunyao hurriedly replied. After she finished speaking, she seemed to feel that her reaction was too big and she hurriedly added,

"The weather is hot, so my stomach isn't feeling well. It's fine.

"

"Since Fourth Sister-in-Law's stomach is not feeling well, then let's take that squirrel fish away. Don't let the smell of the fish bother you anymore.

"

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely delicate. Many of the wives looked at Mu Yunyao's appearance and made a firm decision in their hearts. How was this wangfei's stomach unwell? It was obvious that she was pregnant and had misgivings. They didn't know how the emperor and empress would deal with her …

At this moment, in the previous dynasty's Supreme Harmony Hall, the emperor also set up a banquet. Although the Beggar Festival was also known as the Women's Day and was a festival for the women, the emperor doted on the empress. In order to show the empress's love and harmony, he decided to set a banquet for today.

King Yue sat at the side with a cold expression. He looked like he lacked interest and when the Emperor occasionally asked about it, he looked absent-minded. It had already been several days since then. No matter how much they begged the Emperor to punish Yue Wang, or how much they asked him to punish Yue Huang to avenge the Northern Frontier Princess, they were still delayed by the Emperor due to the lack of clarity of the case and suspicions. Now that they saw Yue Yang, they were naturally angered.

A fire was set ablaze.

Just as the atmosphere of the banquet was in high spirits, an envoy from the northern border stood up and suggested,

"Your Majesty, I've heard that there are many unique customs in the Da Lei Dynasty, such as losing a needle to beg and piercing a needle in the moon. I wonder if we'd have the honor to have a look?

"

The emperor laughed.

"You've heard that the empress is setting up a banquet and want to take a look? That's good too, I'll go and see how the empress's banquet is going.

"Xu Li, send word that the empress is going to prepare for us. We will bring our beloved officials to watch them perform the ritual of begging.

"

"Yes.
