Yun Xi put on new clothes and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She found that the face in the mirror looked more heroic.

Before going to the battle, her skin was as white as jade, but now it is slightly dark due to wind and sun, which makes her look a little uncomfortable at first glance.

But Aunt Qingyang smiled and said, "It looks like a healthy black gem." Chunhua also added, "Black ruby, how unique!"

Yun Xi was helpless, knowing that these uneducated people always spoke in a humorous and direct manner.

When Yun Xi walked out of the door, she saw Xiao Yunfeng had also arrived. She was overjoyed and shouted, "Brother!"

Xiao Yunfeng looked much more mature. Perhaps it was the ups and downs he had experienced in the Censorate during this period that made him shed his immaturity and become more like a responsible adult.

Seeing that there were other people in the room, he retracted his outstretched hand, but he could not conceal the admiration and excitement in his eyes.

Yun Xi walked up to him, held his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you here too? I was planning to visit grandpa tomorrow and then go home to see you."

Xiao Yunfeng smiled and responded: "I just wanted to come and see you."

At this time, Mu Yihan also changed his clothes and came out. Coincidentally, he also chose red.

The colors of the clothes that Marquis Wu'an put away were all brighter. Yi Han didn't wear them on weekdays, but he had no choice at this moment.

Yun Xi looked at him, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart. She missed the lively and bright Yi Han, and also admired the calm and introverted general in front of her.

When Xiao Yunfeng saw Mu Yihan, he quickly bowed and saluted: "General!" Mu Yihan returned the greeting: "Brother!" This simple title revealed Yihan's respect for the people around Yun Xi.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunfeng actually started to smile foolishly, and looked at Yun Xi with his folded hands, his eyes full of satisfaction and pride.

Seeing this, Marquis Wu'an invited everyone to take a seat: "Okay, sit down, dinner will be served soon. Yunfeng is here too, let's have a few drinks together."

He looked around but could not see Zhao Songyan, so he asked the wife of Marquis Wu'an who was sitting beside him, "Where is the rebellious son?"

The wife of Marquis Wu'an replied, "He is not feeling well. I will let him rest in the house and bring him some food later."

Marquis Wu'an frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Waste!" As a father, he naturally knew what his son was thinking.

Zhao Songyan couldn't bear to see Yi Han return with merit, and became jealous. He got red eyes and was unwilling to face reality.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an watched silently from the side, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She was also unhappy, bowed and stood up to say goodbye.

Yun Xi sat aside, listening to their conversation silently. She felt the eyes of Marquis Wu'an's wife sweeping across her face as she left. The eyes were sharp and vicious, as if filled with rage.

Her heart trembled, but she looked back without changing her expression, her eyes calm and indifferent.

Her hand was suddenly held by Yi Han, and she looked up at him. His eyes were quiet and deep, and he seemed to be thinking about something. The two smiled at each other and said nothing tacitly.

At this time, Liu Prajna also appeared at the door. After the wife of Marquis Wu'an bowed to her, she strode away.

Liu Banruo looked at her back thoughtfully, then walked into the house.

Her gaze lingered on Yun Xi and Mu Yihan's clasped hands for a moment, and a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Liu Banruo's arrival brought some subtle changes to the atmosphere.

As important officials in the court, Marquis Wu'an and Xiao Yunfeng naturally understood that it was not appropriate to discuss private matters in front of her.

Yun Xi and Mu Yihan were also concerned about her identity and were unwilling to talk too much in front of her.

So everyone started to eat.

As concubines, Qin Ruoling and Zhang Chunru were not qualified to sit on the throne, so naturally they did not show up.

With the emperor's concubines present, the atmosphere of the dinner seemed a little stiff.

But after a few drinks, Marquis Wu'an's mood gradually became high.

He raised his glass to Mu Yihan and said, "Now that you have survived the ordeal and returned, and have quelled the rebellion in Lingnan together with Yun Xi, the emperor and all the officials will look at you differently.

But you must keep in mind one thing: be modest and cautious, don’t think too highly of yourself, and don’t cause trouble.”
