Chapter 76 I love eavesdropping!
"Sister, you really understand me! I love eavesdropping!"
Chu Xinyue rubbed her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling, "Then I'll go back and get ready! I'll come find you when it's late at night!"
Xue Youli raised his eyebrows in confusion. "What's there to prepare for eavesdropping? Isn't it enough to just bring your ears?"
Chu Xinyue smiled mysteriously, "Of course I'm going to prepare a nice nightgown. I've also prepared one for you. It makes you look especially slim when you wear it!"
Xue Youli was almost dying of laughter at her words. "A nightgown just needs to be light and concealed. Why does it have to look good and thin? We're not wearing it for pleasure between men and women!"
"Best friends are also friends, there has to be a sense of ceremony!" Chu Xinyue finished the last sip of the cool tea in the cup and stood up from the table. "I have to go back and dress up for the dinner. I'll come to see you after the party!"
"Okay." After seeing Chu Xinyue off, Xue Youli saw that it was getting late, so she called Banxia to get her some water to wash up. She was going to formally meet the hero of the novel tonight, so she had to wash her face and change into her battle robe.
…
As dusk fell, palace lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, making it brightly lit.
The palace banquet was held in the largest garden in the center of Qinghe Garden, Yude Garden.
Xue Youli lived next door to Murong Che, very close to Yude Garden, and when the time was almost up, she took Banxia out.
The four concubines headed by Rong Qingyue have arrived and they are sitting on the side with the female relatives.
Bang!
Just as Xue Youli was about to sit down in an empty seat, someone bumped into his shoulder out of the blue.
"Ouch! I slipped. I'm so sorry!"
Just by listening to the teasing voice, Xue Youli knew that Chu Xinyue had come.
Xue Youli was not hurt, but still frowned and said to her, "You are so young and your legs are not so flexible. I'd better pay for someone to make you a pair of crutches. It's better than you not being able to walk and bumping into people every now and then."
After saying that, she also pushed Chu Xinyue with her shoulder, "Get out of the way, I want to sit here!"
Chu Xinyue saw her sitting down at an empty table and quickly followed her, "Why are you sitting here? I want to sit here too!"
So, the two of them sat at the same table while playing around.
Their quarrel caused quite a noise, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Seeing them sitting together, everyone looked like they were watching a show.
It is said that Princess Qinghe and Concubine Xue are not getting along, and she goes to Lingyun Palace to pick a fight every day. It seems that the rumors are true.
But I heard that Mr. Xue is not someone you can easily mess with.
One of them is the emperor's beloved darling, and the other has the empress dowager as her backer, so they can be said to be evenly matched.
These two people are sitting together, don't let them start fighting while eating.
Xue Qingyao was sitting at a table across from them. Listening to them arguing with each other, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
Xue Youli is such an eyesore!
She knew very well that although Princess Qinghe was reckless, she was not stupid and would not dare to do anything to Xue Youli.
At most, he would find ways to cause trouble for Xue Youli.
Shen Ruolan, that idiot, insisted on dragging Chu Xinyue into plotting against Xue Youli, but in the end, the two of them escaped unscathed, but she lost her life.
Therefore, Xue Qingyao only believed in himself. As for Chu Xinyue, let her go and find trouble for Xue Youli.
Even if Xue Youli can't be killed, it would be great if he could make her miserable every day.
In fact, she had been demoted by Murong Che before, and thought she had no right to come to the palace to escape the summer heat, but she didn't expect that Murong Che would let her come along.
In that case, she had to seize the opportunity to meet the man.
In her previous life, she tried her best to plan for him, but in the end, he stabbed her heart with a sword.
In this life, she wants to use that man as a stepping stone, leverage his power to deal with Xue Youli, and help herself successfully ascend to the throne of Queen!
Yin Xuan'er disliked everyone who was close to Xue Youli equally. Even though Princess Qinghe was apparently against Xue Youli, she was still annoyed by her.
Chu Xinyue wouldn't really think that Xue Youli was afraid of her and therefore didn't dare to do anything to her, right?
If it weren't for her aunt's protection, a stupid and foolish girl like her would have died eight hundred times already!
Xue Youli is also useless. He didn't even fight back when Chu Xinyue rode on his neck and bullied him. What a waste!
At this moment, the eunuch guarding outside the garden shouted in a shrill voice, "The Emperor has arrived! The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
Everyone stood up and saluted immediately, "Welcome to the Emperor! Welcome to the Empress Dowager!"
When Murong Che passed by these concubines, he smelled the scent of powder in the air and couldn't help but frown. However, he quickly put away the annoyance in his eyes and said calmly, "Everyone, stand up."
Just as he and Queen Mother Yin were about to take their seats, a clear young voice came from outside the garden, "I am late, please don't blame me, mother and brother!"
The person who came was Murong Nan, who was waving a folding fan in his hand, looking like a romantic young man.
The man standing next to him was dressed in a brocade robe, with an upright posture and handsome and deep facial features that were somewhat similar to Murong Che.
There is a small teardrop mole at the corner of his left eye, which adds a touch of enchantment to his well-defined face.
The night wind blew by, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. In the moonlight, he looked even more graceful, like a jade tree in the wind, making people unable to help but fall for him!
At this moment, he saluted the two people sitting on the main seat, his voice as gentle as jade, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and I pay my respects to my brother. I haven't seen my fifth brother for a long time, and I was so happy that I chatted a little more, which delayed the banquet. I hope the Queen Mother and my brother will punish me!"
As soon as this man appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
Although Murong Nan and Murong Che are from the same mother, Murong Ye looks more like Murong Che's biological brother than Murong Nan does.
Murong Nan's facial features are more like Empress Dowager Yin.
Murong Ye and Murong Che are more like the late emperor.
When Xue Youli heard this, she raised her eyelids and her eyes fell on the ID card above the man's head.
[Name: Murong Ye, 25 years old, Murong Che's second brother, His Royal Highness Prince Xian, on the surface he is a romantic and leisurely prince.]
"Ali, Ali!"
Chu Xinyue, who was sitting next to her, excitedly poked Xue Youli with her elbow and said to her in a low voice, "This man is Murong Ye! Oh my god! He is worthy of being the male protagonist I created with all the fancy words. He is so handsome that he can even do splits!"
Xue Youli has the character identity cards provided by the Book of Heaven, so as soon as a character appears, she can see the other party's information at a glance.
Chu Xinyue could see the aura of the leading actor above Murong Ye's head.
A beam of soft light shone down, and in her eyes, Murong Ye seemed to have his own filter, he was really too handsome.
Xue Youli stared at Murong Ye for two seconds, then turned her gaze to look at Murong Che who was sitting in the main seat. Comparing the two, she felt that Murong Che was more handsome and her type.
When Queen Mother Yin saw her youngest son, her expression softened. "Fifth Brother, why do you always bother your second brother?"
Murong Nan raised his forehead nonchalantly, "Second brother, you don't have anything to do anyway. I've even made an appointment with you to go fishing tomorrow!"
Murong Ye bowed respectfully, "Don't worry, mother. I also like fishing and will take good care of my fifth brother."
Murong Nan looked at Murong Ye, his eyes clear but with a hint of stupidity, "I knew that Second Brother treats me the best! Hehehehe!"
Queen Mother Yin looked at them and smiled gently, "Prince Xian, I am very pleased that you and Old Five have a deep relationship. Please take a seat."
"Okay, I'll sit at the same table with my second brother!" Murong Nan followed Murong Ye like a dog-skin plaster.
Murong Ye was also particularly fond of him. He glanced around and walked towards the empty table next to the main table.
Murong Nan followed closely behind.
What a picture of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other.
Those who don’t know would think that Murong Ye and Murong Nan are real brothers!
Chu Xinyue looked at Murong Nan's silly expression, pouted her lips in disdain, and whispered to Xue Youli, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Murong Che's stupid brother, I'm afraid he will have to help others count money after he sells me in the future!"
"Who said it wasn't!" Xue Youli kept his eyes fixed on Murong Ye and Xue Qingyao, afraid of missing any interaction between them.
However, what surprised her was that Murong Ye walked straight to the table and sat down without even glancing at Xue Qingyao!
Xue Qingyao just glanced at Murong Ye while looking at Murong Nan, then turned around and continued chatting with Lady Chi next to her.
Something is wrong!
This is so wrong!
In the novel, the hero and heroine saw each other from a distance at a palace banquet and began to exchange glances.
But why didn't Xue Qingyao and Murong Ye follow the plot?
