Chapter 101: Volume 1, Chapter 101: If She Didn't Cooperate, How Could the Play of the Person Behind the Scenes Continue?

The palace maid was a bit nervous being watched by Yun Qiyue, but quickly calmed down, "Regent Consort, this is soup specially prepared for you."

Yun Qiyue raised an eyebrow; she and Ye Lanjue hadn't even gotten married yet, and she was already being called Regent Consort?

Although she complained in her heart, Yun Qiyue didn't show it on her face, "Hmm, put it down."

Then, she shifted her gaze and continued to eat.

The palace maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward, preparing to put down the soup bowl.

However, for some reason, the soup bowl in the palace maid's hand became unstable and spilled straight towards Yun Qiyue's body.

Yun Qiyue, as a special agent, naturally had alertness far beyond ordinary people.

Sensing the soup bowl spilling towards her, her body's reaction was faster than her brain, and she reflexively wanted to dodge.

However, in the end, her body was forcibly restrained just as it began to move, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Then, when the soup spilled on her, she dodged with a very "normal" reaction; although the dodge was very "timely," her skirt was still stained by the soup.

"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die, I ask the Regent Consort to forgive me." The palace maid knelt on the ground in panic, begging for mercy.

Yun Qiyue watched coldly.

Heh, this scene, this trick, she had seen too many times in the few novels she had flipped through when bored in her previous life.

Next, was she going to be taken to change clothes?

Yun Qiyue had just thought this when the palace maid looked up with a terrified and guilty expression, "Regent Consort, shall this servant take you to change clothes!"

"Okay!"

Yun Qiyue answered very crisply.

If she didn't cooperate, how could the play of the person behind the scenes continue?

Yun Qiyue had just stood up when Qingyan and Xixue, who had been forced to stand far away because Ye Lanjue was there, immediately approached.

"Miss, what happened?" Qingyan asked.

Xixue saw that Yun Qiyue's pristine dress was stained, frowned, and looked at the palace maid, "How do you do things? Do you know that my Miss's dress is..."

"Xixue!" Yun Qiyue didn't let Xixue continue.

Xixue was somewhat indignant, but in the end, didn't say anything more.

Then, Xixue said, "Miss, this servant will take you to change clothes."

As soon as Xixue finished speaking, the palace maid hurriedly said, "Let this servant take the Regent Consort."

Seeing Xixue's displeased gaze, the palace maid hurriedly explained, "This servant is more familiar with this palace, plus it wouldn't be good if the Regent returned later and didn't see the Regent Consort..."

The palace maid's words made Xixue frown slightly.

It seemed that what the palace maid said was not wrong.

But, she couldn't trust such a clumsy palace maid.

What if she bumped into her Miss again?

Just as Xixue was worrying, Yun Qiyue spoke, "Alright, you two stay here, I will go with her."

Since this palace maid clearly wanted to send Xixue and Qingyan away, she might as well help her.

Xixue still wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Yun Qiyue.

Although they hadn't been together long as mistress and servant, there was still tacit understanding between them.

Seeing her Miss's look, Xixue knew that her Miss had a plan, so she fell silent.

Just before leaving with the palace maid, Yun Qiyue exchanged a look with Qingyan.

Qingyan nodded slightly, indicating she understood.

Seeing this, Yun Qiyue felt at ease leaving with the palace maid.

The commotion on Yun Qiyue's side was so great that it was naturally seen by everyone.

Regarding this small interlude, everyone almost only felt schadenfreude.

And at this time, at the Yun family's table, Yun Yarou and Xu Shi looked at each other; it could be seen that both of them had a look of relief.

"Heh, truly deserved, letting her show off so much."

At this time, Yun Yaxiang at the next table muttered.

"Xiang'er!" Li Shulan stopped Yun Yaxiang, her eyes carrying a warning, but the corner of her eyes looked at Xu Shi's table vaguely.

Yun Yaxiang, seeing her mother stop her, couldn't help but pout, "Mother, I..."

"Shut up!" Li Shulan scolded softly, "Don't forget your purpose today, don't cause any extra trouble for me."

Yun Yaxiang thought of the National Preceptor of the Nanli Kingdom, so she swallowed the words she wanted to say, but her expression carried a hint of unhappiness.

Li Shulan, seeing her daughter quiet down, was satisfied.

At this time, Yun Xinzhue at the small table next to them suddenly stood up and said to Li Shulan in a low voice, "Mother, I want to go out for a moment."

Looking at this concubine-born daughter who usually didn't compete or fight, Li Shulan's expression was indifferent, "Don't cause trouble."

Just three words, and she didn't say anything more.

"Yes—"

Yun Xinzhue answered obediently, then walked outside the banquet.

Seeing Yun Xinzhue leave, the quick-witted Yun Xinlian also stood up and said to Xu Shi at the side, "Mother, I also want to go out for a moment."

If she sat here all the time, she didn't know when she would be able to meet her good marriage; rather than that, it was better to go out and try her luck.

However, Xu Shi was not as easy to talk to as Li Shulan, Xu Shi's face darkened, "What are you going out for?"

Yun Xinlian's face flushed slightly, "I... want to go to the bathroom..." The further she went, the more her voice sounded like a mosquito.

Xu Shi, upon hearing this, had a flash of disgust in her eyes, "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Yun Xinlian answered gratefully and walked out quickly, as if she were very anxious.

Regarding Yun Xinlian's departure, Xu Shi didn't think much of it, so much so that not long after, Xu Shi regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.

Of course, that was a later story.

Let's talk about Yun Qiyue.

As she followed the palace maid out of the central plaza of the Imperial Garden and walked towards a place with few people, a call suddenly came from behind.

"Third Sister—"

At first, Yun Qiyue didn't react.

After all, this voice was too unfamiliar to her.

However, with the repeated "Third Sister," Yun Qiyue sensed something.

Looking back, she saw a green figure running towards her.

Yun Xinzhue, the concubine-born daughter of the third branch, ranked fourth among the Yun family women.

Regarding her, she only had vague memories.

And this vagueness was enough to show that this Yun Xinzhue probably hadn't bullied the original owner.

After all, the original owner's memories of those who had bullied her were relatively clear.

Just, what was Yun Xinzhue looking for her for at this time?

And in the distance, Yun Xinzhue, seeing Yun Qiyue stop, clearly breathed a sigh of relief, then ran towards this side.

The palace maid, seeing someone coming, was afraid of extra trouble, so she hurriedly advised, "Regent Consort, let's go change clothes first?"

Yun Qiyue glanced at the palace maid coldly, "No rush."

She was more curious about Yun Xinzhue's intention.

The palace maid was anxious in her heart, but at this time, she couldn't show it.

And at this time, Yun Xinzhue had already approached.

Yun Xinzhue looked at the palace maid, then hesitated, but still said, "Third Sister, I have something I want to say to you alone."

Yun Qiyue hadn't spoken yet, but the palace maid said, "This Miss, if you have anything, you can wait until later..."

"You step aside first."

Before the palace maid could finish, Yun Qiyue ordered in a deep voice.

The palace maid, upon hearing this, immediately wanted to say something, but when she saw Yun Qiyue's cold gaze, the palace maid had to retreat to the side, but her eyes kept looking over here frequently.

Yun Qiyue then looked at Yun Xinzhue, "What do you want with me?"

Yun Xinzhue looked behind her uneasily, then looked at the palace maid, bit her lip, and said, "Third Sister, don't go—"
