Mei Bin's expression was a bit cold, but she still smiled when she looked at Yun Wanyue: "Excuse me, where have I seen you before?"
"It's just that my sister is a celestial being. If I had seen her, I would definitely remember it in my heart. I shouldn't forget it." Mei Bin looked at Yun Wanyue in confusion.
At this time, Yun Wanyue saw that Mei Bin's face didn't look like she was faking it, and she already had a guess in her mind.
Yun Wanyue smiled and explained: "I am not a concubine in the palace, my husband is King Lan."
Concubine Mei suddenly became enlightened when she heard this: "So that's it. I heard before that King Lan married a girl from the Yun family, and the daughter of the Yun family is beautiful and fragrant."
"It's just that I like to be quiet and don't go out normally, so I haven't seen the princess. Please don't be offended." Mei Bin said with a smile.
Although Mei Concubine is also a famous concubine, her concubine position is not considered a high one.
Even worse than Princess Lan.
So Mei Bin was very polite when talking to Yun Wanyue.
Yun Wanyue looked at the plum blossom trees around her and said with a smile: "After I entered the palace today to pay my respects to Empress Dowager De, I walked around casually and wanted to find a secluded place to rest. I didn't expect to come here.
Are you disturbing the queen?"
Mei Bin immediately said: "In my plum garden, people often come here in winter, but in midsummer, very few people come. It's my honor for you to come."
"If you don't mind, you can go to my Red Plum Garden for a cup of tea." Mei Bin said and stood up, making an invitation gesture.
Yun Wanyue did not refuse and said with a smile: "Then I'll excuse you."
Yun Wanyue followed Mei Concubine to Hongmei Garden where Mei Concubine lived.
Compared with the splendid palace of Empress Dowager De, Meibi's Hongmeiyuan house is new, but the furnishings inside are quite old.
Nothing decent could be seen inside.
After Yun Wanyue sat down, Mei Bin ordered the people around her to make tea.
As for Mei Bin herself, she said: "My house is so simple that it makes you laugh."
Yun Wanyue said: "Your Majesty lives a frugal and simple life, how can it be shabby?"
Mei Bin said: "It's hard for you not to dislike it."
Yun Wanyue asked: "I am already honored that your Majesty asked me to come here to drink tea. How can I dislike it?"
Of course Yun Wanyue knew that during this first meeting, Mei Concubine would not confide in her.
How many women living in the harem don’t have any wealth at all?
A truly innocent person who doesn't wait to become the emperor's real woman will probably die.
After Yun Wanyue drank tea here, she smiled and said: "My queen and I are very close to each other. If I go to the palace someday, can I come and sit here?"
"Of course. I'm used to being calm. I hope someone can come over and walk around more often." Mei Bin said with a smile.
After Yun Wanyue left the plum garden.
I went to see the Queen Mother again and learned that the Queen Mother was resting, so I left first and said I would come back another day.
Then Yun Wanyue left the palace.
When leaving the palace, Yun Wanyue saw the carriage of Prince Lan's Mansion waiting outside.
As soon as she got in the car, she found Ye Beilan in the car.
Yun Wanyue was a little surprised: "Why is the prince here?"
"Take you out of the palace." Ye Beilan said calmly.
Yun Wanyue said: "Your Majesty is probably eager to know who did this, right? Can I find out anything?"
Ye Beilan pretended to be listening attentively: "Can you please tell me, Princess?"
Yun Wanyue said: "I met Ding Meiren and Mei Concubine today, but Ding Meiren seemed to know me, but Mei Concubine acted like she didn't know me."
"The person who plotted against you and me was naturally someone who knew me." Yun Wanyue said firmly.
For such a valuable tribute bead to be left there, it means that this person did it with his own hands.
Ye Beilan frowned and said, "Are you saying that Ding Meiren is the most suspicious? This is impossible."
Ye Beilan immediately retorted.
Yun Wanyue didn't know who Ding Meiren was, but he knew.
Ding Meiren has a younger brother who has been working under his mother's concubine. Not many people know about this, but he is one of the insiders.
Therefore, Ding Meiren is also the mother-in-law.
It is impossible for Ding Meiren to betray her mother and concubine unless she doesn't care about her brother's life.
Yun Wanyue asked: "Why is it impossible? Is it just because Ding Mei and De Fei are close?"
Ye Beilan said: "This matter needs to be investigated again."
Yun Wanyue snorted softly: "Then let's check Mei Concubine again and see why she lives in such a shabby life as His Majesty's concubine."
"I see, Mei Concubine might have sold everything in her hands long ago." Yun Wanyue expressed her guess.
Otherwise, how can we explain that there is not a single decent furnishing in Mei Bin’s house?
Ye Beilan said: "Okay, I'll check it out."
The carriage drove slowly.
After walking for a while, Yun Wanyue looked out and said, "This is not the way back to the palace. Where are you taking me, my lord?"
Ye Beilan said: "Since I know that you are also one of the victims of this incident, I will always compensate you for something."
"I have a village outside the city, and I will give it to you. If we reconcile in the future...you will have a place to go." Ye Beilan said calmly.
When Yun Wanyue heard this, she didn't know whether she should be moved by Ye Beilan's thoughtfulness, or whether she should scold Ye Beilan.
That night, Bei Lan was really afraid that she would stay in Prince Lan's palace and refuse to leave, so he thought of arranging her escape route.
It would also allow her to leave with peace of mind in the future.
But since it was Ye Beilan who wanted to send something, Yun Wanyue had no reason to refuse.
Who would dislike having too much stuff?
What Ye Beilan owed her was more than just Zhuangzi.
If she takes it first, it won't stop her from continuing to collect debts.
Of course...she could also refuse, but Yun Wanyue felt that it was not necessary.
If he rejects Ye Beilan's things, according to Ye Beilan's nature, he will overthink it. The consequence of Ye Beilan's overthinking is...
You know that when dealing with yourself, if you can't use soft methods, you have to use hard ones.
She didn't want to be stabbed by Ye Beilan before she could move him down.
Seeing that Yun Wanyue was silent, Ye Beilan raised his eyes and looked at Yun Wanyue with deep eyes: "I know that there are some things missing, but I will slowly withhold from you what should be given to you."
"Miss Yun, there is no love between you and me, so there is no need to entangle each other. I hope you can look away." Ye Beilan continued.
After hearing this, Yun Wanyue asked: "Who said I can't see it?"
"I just think you are too stingy!" Yun Wanyue snorted coldly.
"Now I just hope that I can reconcile with you soon, and then you can marry your sweetheart. As for me, I can marry whoever I want. If I don't want to marry, I can raise a few male favorites in the house.
Okay." When Yun Wanyue said this, there was a bit of excitement in her eyes.
