After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 83 Birthday Banquet (2)
Although Yu Qingli felt a little puzzled about Murong Yanhui's decision, she did not object. After all, it was Murong Yue's birthday, so why did she dress so ostentatiously?
Moreover, judging from today's arrangement and the noise outside the door, it seems that quite a few people have come today. I don't know if my father will attend. If he sees me dressed like this, it would be hard to explain.
Qingjiu quickly prepared the men's clothing, but he was still complaining in his heart, why didn't Miss Yu wear such a nice brocade dress, but had to wear men's clothing, wasn't this a waste of resources?
This prince's IQ really needs to be improved...
Murong Yanhui asked Qingjiu to prepare a crescent-white brocade robe embroidered with simple magnolia flowers. It was fresh and elegant, yet simple and generous.
Yu Qingli took it directly to the inner room and changed. After taking off her gorgeous clothes and putting on the men's clothes, Yu Qingli seemed much more relaxed.
After straightening her clothes, Yu Qingli walked out.
Murong Yanhui's gaze was burning as he stared at the woman who came out of the inner room. At this moment, she had transformed from a stunning beauty into a slender and elegant young man!
Murong Yanhui had never found a woman who was as suitable for men's clothing as Yu Qingli. She did not have the affectation of a girl, nor the smell of makeup that did not suit her figure. The clothes fit Yu Qingli as if they were tailor-made for her. Her every move made people feel cold and noble.
It is true that heavy makeup or light makeup always suits you!
Murong Yanhui nodded with satisfaction. Although Yu Qingli was still dazzling, she probably wouldn't be coveted by many men anymore.
"Your Highness, the guests have arrived and are waiting for you to come over!"
A servant came hurriedly to report, Murong Yanhui nodded slightly and told Qingjiu to go to the front hall first to support them, and they would be there soon.
"Lili, let's go!"
Murong Yanhui didn't wait for Yu Qingli's consent, and went straight forward to put his arm around Yu Qingli's waist, walked out of Jinseju and headed towards Xiaoyao Hall.
As they walked along, Yu Qingli discovered that this banquet was much grander than she had imagined. She couldn't help but feel more and more surprised. For the birthday of a five-year-old child, wasn't this scale a little too big?
However, this was Murong Yanhui's family matter and had nothing to do with her directly. What she cared about now was whether Yu Zhengsha would attend.
After learning that Yu Zhengsha buried her without caring about his own life or death, Yu Qingli felt a chill in her heart as well as a hint of bitterness. She thought back to her previous life, although her father was not very close to her, he did not want to kill her like this!
Now that I think about it, it’s probably because my previous life didn’t discover so many secrets, wasn’t so aggressive, and didn’t even have time to discover my father’s true face before I died!
A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips. Sometimes she even doubted whether she was Yu Zhengsha's biological daughter.
In a daze, Murong Yanhui brought him to Xiaoyao Hall.
The Xiaoyao Hall was built beside the huge lake. It was the largest room in the villa. It was decorated ornately with carved beams and painted rafters. The red candles on both sides of the wall were as thick as children's arms. The marble floor was smooth and visible. The white jade steps and the black marble complemented each other, creating a contradictory yet integrated atmosphere.
As soon as she entered the hall, Yu Qingli felt a wave of heat coming towards her. The noisy voices quietly disappeared after Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli appeared. Everyone's eyes fell on Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli who came together.
Today, Murong Yanhui was wearing a dark red brocade robe with flying dragon patterns embroidered with black gold thread, a black belt inlaid with fine jadeite around his waist, and a pair of black court boots with auspicious cloud patterns on his feet. His black hair was meticulously tied up high, and he wore a gorgeously decorated golden crown. The long hair falling on his forehead made him look even more elegant, and he looked handsome and noble!
A slightly evil smile hung on his already handsome face, and his eyes swept across everyone present with extremely sharp eyes.
These guests were clearly divided into three groups. The group on the far left were obviously court officials. Although they were all dressed in casual clothes, their every move and gesture was full of official airs. They were greeting each other and entertaining each other.
The group of people in the middle looked like a group of idle dandies and playboys. They were probably the bad friends Murong Yan met when he was having fun. Baili Changjue and Ye Lixue were the leaders among them. The officials disdained to greet these people, and they were too lazy to pay attention to those noble officials.
Which young man who can be here doesn’t have some background?
The group on the far right were all female relatives, some of whom were Murong Yanhui’s confidantes, and some were family members brought by those officials.
The Prince of Yan had always loved beautiful women. If his daughter caught his eye, it would be considered climbing the ladder of status. Although Murong Yanhui was known for his playboyish ways, he was still a prince, wasn't he? If he could become his legal wife, a princess, he wouldn't have to worry about a lifetime of wealth and glory.
All these officials wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if their daughters could catch the eye of the King of Yan, and those plump and thin women also cast admiring glances at Murong Yanhui.
Apart from his notorious reputation, the King of Yan is still very attractive!
At the same time, the guests were extremely curious about the beautiful young man beside Murong Yanhui. Why had they never seen such a godlike person before? Could he be a young man from a secluded family?
Some curious people noticed Murong Yanhui's big hand still clasped on Yu Qingli's waist, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the King of Yan, who was rumored to have always been fond of women, suddenly changed his taste and turned to men?
Yu Qingli moved her body awkwardly and signaled Murong Yanhui with her eyes to take her hand away. She really couldn't accept such intimacy in public.
After seeing Yu Qingli's angry look, Murong Yanhui took the initiative to let go of her hand, but he didn't know that this action was considered as flirting in the eyes of everyone in the hall. It seemed that King Yan really was popular with both men and women!
"Everyone, thank you for your presence. Today's birthday banquet begins now. Please enjoy yourselves and do not be restrained. I believe you all know my temper. So, let's leave it at that. I still have important activities to attend to with my little beauty."
I've made it very clear, you guys should eat and play, this prince doesn't have time to accompany you!
These few simple sentences perfectly interpreted Murong Yanhui's dandy and mischievous behavior. This good-for-nothing and playboy prince has always been a fun-loving person, and this is known to all the ministers in the court. However, even so, the suspicious emperor still seems to be uneasy about Murong Yanhui and is always paying attention to his movements.
Murong Yanhui knew this very well, so in front of others, he could only be a playboy, an idle prince who had no ambition, no interest in the throne, and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
It is still unknown how many of the officials who came to celebrate today are the emperor's spies, but there is one thing Murong Yanhui can be sure of. He believes that soon, the news that he, Murong Yanhui, is homosexual will reach the ears of His Majesty.
After Murong Yanhui finished speaking, he put his arm around Yu Qingli's waist again and brought her into his arms very intimately. Yu Qingli frowned somewhat dissatisfiedly and was about to refuse but saw Murong Yanhui's slightly warning look and was stunned.
Glancing at the people present, she saw that some of the officials were confused, some were disappointed, and some were dissatisfied. Yu Qingli took in all kinds of expressions, but the culprit Murong Yanhui didn't seem to care at all.
The daughters of the imperial families, who had meticulously dressed themselves up in hopes of marrying into the royal family, watched Murong Yanhui's blunt words and actions. Their eyes flashed with resentment and jealousy, making Yu Qingli extremely depressed. It seemed like she had done nothing, had she?!
Murong Yanhui's smile deepened. In front of everyone, he lowered his head and kissed Yu Qingli's earlobe, whispering in her ear, "Lili, accompany me to finish this scene, and I will write off what you owe me."
Yu Qingli glared at him. This Murong Yanhui's demands were getting more and more every day! He was untrustworthy and kept going back on his word. Wasn't eight out of ten of his words just a lie?
However, in today's situation, if she did not agree, it would be very difficult to end it. If Murong Yan revealed her identity in public, she would probably be the one who would be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli had already made up her mind, but she remained calm and asked, "Did my father come today?"
"I sent an invitation letter, and the Yu family also sent a gift, but it seems that your father did not come in person."
Yu Qingli nodded slightly. This was in line with her father's style. Considering Murong Yanhui's status, her father would definitely send a gift to avoid giving people a chance to talk. However, because of the prime minister's status, her father would not be present in person.
This is also the reason why the current Majesty values my father very much. He never forms cliques and has various interactions with other officials in the court in private. This also makes His Majesty very confident in Yu Zhengsha. Which emperor would not like a person who is only willing to follow and be loyal to himself, no matter how powerful he is?
Yu Zhengsha's integrity not only won the trust of the emperor, but also won unanimous praise from the court.
Hearing that Yu Zhengsha did not come, Yu Qingli felt a little relieved. At least she did not have to confront her cold father for the time being.
He looked at Murong Yan seriously and replied, "Your Highness, will you keep your word this time?"
"Of course! When has this king ever broken his promise?"
Yu Qingli scoffed. She decided to trust him once more, but if he wanted her help, he would have to pay a price. So, Yu Qingli asked, "What about the previous batch of goods?"
"I will have it delivered to your shop tomorrow morning."
"A word is settled!"
Since Murong Yan answered so readily, Yu Qingli did not continue to hesitate and agreed to him very readily.
