Chapter 301 Palace Banquet
Su Yue pushed him away and snorted coldly, "You're so lucky! You even got to meet a beautiful woman. Did she look good?"
This guy actually went to see Chen Fanghua. It doesn't take much thought to know that a beautiful woman would come to see him for some other purpose than to get to know someone else. He was such a fool that he even listened to her nonsense.
Murong Li smiled and said, "How could she be as pretty as Yue'er? In my husband's eyes and heart, Yue'er is the most beautiful. I went to see her just to hear what she had to say. She even said that I would regret not seeing her. I did regret it after hearing a lot of her long-winded and useless nonsense."
"How do you want to deal with her? You won't let her continue to jump in front of you, right?"
Su Yue turned her head and asked Murong Li, Chen Fanghua was extremely shameless and her behavior was weird, who knew what new tricks she would come up with.
Murong Li narrowed his eyes: "I know her purpose very well. Doesn't she want to be a princess? Then let her marry Murong Yi and fulfill her princess dream, but she will just be a concubine."
Letting the old duke's granddaughter be Murong Yi's concubine would make the old duke so angry that he would vomit blood.
It's his fault for not being able to teach his granddaughter well.
Well, the palace banquet the day after tomorrow is the opportunity.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the palace banquet arrived. The couple entered the palace early in the morning. Today, both of them wore prince's clothes and princess's clothes.
Su Yue looked at Murong Li, who had an extraordinary temperament. He wore a purple gold crown inlaid with gems on his head, and the purple gold tight crown ropes hung on both sides of his cheeks, making him look extremely noble.
She was wearing a dark yellow python robe with gold thread edging on the edge. There were four golden dragons, one on the front and one on the back. The dragons were also embroidered with gold thread and looked lifelike. Whenever Murong Li moved, the two golden dragons seemed to come alive. Su Yue marveled at the amazing embroidery skills of the showgirls here.
She wore black-soled boots made of blue satin, and she looked very stylish when she walked.
She wore a nine-pearl crown made of pearls and jade. It looked beautiful, but it was also very heavy, and it seemed to press her neck into her clothes.
She was wearing a red brocade robe with a four-sided auspicious cloud pattern, a shawl with cloud and phoenix embroidered with gold thread, a shawl with cloud and phoenix pendant and a gold earring around her waist, a peach-red jacket with gold embroidered phoenix pattern, a thin purple jacket lining, and an imperial green jade bracelet on her slender wrist.
This jade bracelet alone is priceless and was given to her by the emperor as a reward.
She had a light makeup on her face, and wore green gem earrings on her ears, which were shiny and unique, making her look very noble. She was beautiful, and wearing this princess's dress, she looked even more luxurious and beautiful.
When the two entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they stood out from the crowd, attracting everyone's attention and immediately causing people to whisper.
Today, the two of them officially debuted in front of everyone. Seeing such outstanding people, some were amazed, some were envious, and some were jealous.
The jealousy naturally came from Chen Fanghua. Today she was also wearing a gorgeous dress, which made her look even more stunning. The princes and nobles present couldn't take their eyes off her.
Some people even compare the two to see who is more beautiful, and the answers vary.
Some people think that Su Yue is more beautiful and has better temperament, while some think that Chen Fanghua is beautiful but lacks vitality and is too rigid.
After hearing this, Su Yue just smiled. The person who made the comment really had a discerning eye.
Chen Fanghua is indeed beautiful. She is the same as the noble ladies in the capital, that is, she is rigid and methodical, without any liveliness, just like looking at a puppet.
"Let's find a place to sit down. Standing here makes me feel uncomfortable."
Murong Li, who was standing next to Su Yue Lala, felt uncomfortable being stared at and commented on by so many people.
Murong Li nodded and took her to the table near the front and sat down.
This is the prince's seat.
Not long after they sat down, two people sat down at the table opposite them. They were Murong Yi and Chen Ying. They were also dressed up today, wearing almost the same clothes as Murong Li and the others, the clothes of a prince and a princess.
Murong Yi waved to the two of them, but Su Yue ignored him. Only Murong Li nodded at him.
The relationship between the two is not good, so they can't do too much openly.
Su Yue was looking for people from the Marquis of Anding's Mansion in the main hall. Today was to celebrate the emperor's good health and for all the ministers to witness Concubine Yun being conferred the title of Imperial Noble Concubine. This time, the palace banquet did not distinguish between men and women, but only between the ranks of officials.
As for the General's Mansion, only Madam Yun II brought the young master and young lady into the palace today. Su Yue was not very familiar with him, so she ignored them.
There were too many people, so Su Yue had to use her mental power to search. She saw that they were sitting in the second row opposite. Su Xue was looking at her, so she immediately waved to her.
Su Xue immediately brought Su Yan towards them. They walked through the middle aisle and came to their table.
"Big sister."
Su Xue and Su Yan shouted at the same time.
Su Yue patted the stool beside her: "The banquet hasn't started yet, please sit down first."
The two nodded and sat next to her, the three of them chatting quietly.
Murong Yi on the opposite side had his eyes light up when he saw Su Xue. Su Xue was even more beautiful today, like a dot of white among a myriad of colorful flowers, pure and elegant, making his eyes wide open.
Chen Ying followed his gaze and saw that it was Su Xue. Her face darkened and she immediately frowned.
Before leaving, Murong Yi warned her to be careful and calm at the palace banquet.
She could understand "be careful" as concern, but she didn't understand what "be calm" meant at that time, but she understands it now.
The greed and determination in Murong Yi's eyes hurt her heart deeply. She was afraid that he had set his eyes on the second daughter of the Su family and would make a move on her at the palace banquet.
Chen Ying couldn't believe that Murong Yi was so despicable that he would resort to such despicable means.
But we have to admit that such despicable means are the most effective and can best achieve one's goals.
Chen Ying lowered her head and twisted the shackles in her hands. She really wanted to find the Marquis of Zhennan and ask him to stop this, but when she thought about how if she succeeded in stopping it, she would definitely be disliked by Murong Yi, and then she would be just a decoration in the palace.
She had had enough of that kind of life. It was like that when she first got married. She was only a princess in title, but in reality it was useless. Murong Yi finally fell in love with her, but now he had set his eyes on other women. What should she do?
On the other side, Chen Fanghua looked at Murong Li with gloomy eyes. Today she would find a way to become his woman.
The moment she saw Murong Li coming in, her thoughts became even stronger.
Such an eye-catching man originally belonged to her.
Not only her, but also all the noble ladies in the hall, who would not have impure thoughts when seeing Murong Li?
They were all thinking that today was a good day to ask the emperor for mercy and ask for a concubine, as the positions of concubines on both sides of the king were vacant.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a shrill voice sang, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort has arrived."
When everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down, including Su Yue and the others.
"Welcome to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Imperial Concubine!"
