Chapter 52 Palace Banquet (shuhaige.net)



“Even the empresses in the palace have to be reasonable. Don’t cry. Even if I can’t help you, I will ask the Empress to make a decision for you,” Princess Yongping said kindly.

Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow. Oh, so you know how to call for reinforcements.

"Princess, thank you very much, but..." Yun Yiyi first expressed her gratitude to Princess Yongping, then her face quickly fell, and she glanced at Yun Qingluo with a flustered expression.

"What's wrong? Don't be afraid. Come with me and tell me what happened." Princess Yongping noticed that all the men's eyes were on Yun Yiyi, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She's a shameless slut, all she does is seduce men.

Yun Qingluo watched the two figures leave, raising an eyebrow slightly. Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin—her younger sister wasn't exactly clever either.

How could I have been completely fooled by such a stupid person in my past life?

Yun Qingluo felt a bit cold standing there and just wanted to quickly go to the main hall for a cup of hot tea, so she hurriedly led Yun Tao and An Jiu inside.

Yunxing was left at the Regent's Palace. Today's palace banquet was indeed quite important, and she had no time to worry about Yunxing. It was better to let her stay at the palace and be kept in check so that it would be less of a hassle.

Grasshoppers in late autumn, let them hop around a few more days.

After the clouds fell, two people stood behind the crowd.

"My lord, could it be that the Regent has taken a fancy to her beauty? Judging from her arrogant and domineering manner, I don't see anything special about her," Si Nan whispered from the side.

Ye Ming frowned slightly. "What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth."

Then they walked to the other side of the road.

When Yun Qingluo arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Mo Feng was already waiting there.

Upon seeing Yun Qingluo appear, he took the initiative to greet her, "Your Highness, His Highness specifically instructed me to wait here. I will lead you inside."

Yun Qingluo nodded and stepped inside.

The main hall was divided into three sections. At the top were the positions for the emperor and empress. Down on one side were the positions for the envoys of the three kingdoms, and on the other side were the positions for the regent and other princes and princesses.

Then they lined up in order of their status.

Yun Qingluo sat down in her seat and looked around the hall. She only saw her mother, Yun Yiyi, and her second brother.

Father and elder brother were probably summoned away by the emperor as well.

More and more people filled the main hall, and Yun Tao poured Yun Qingluo a cup of hot tea.

Those below watched the clouds descend and began to murmur amongst themselves once more.

Yun Qingluo listened to their idle chatter, listening to their fabricated stories about herself. It was quite interesting.

Yun Tao, standing to the side, was furious, her eyes red with anger. "Your Highness, they are just jealous of the Regent's favor. Please don't take it to heart."

Yun Qingluo glanced at the furious Yun Tao and sighed, "Silly girl, look at your princess, she's not angry at all. But you, don't be angry."

"Their mouths are their own. If you're not absolutely certain you can shut them up, then control your emotions and don't let them affect you. Wait for the right opportunity to strike hard and shut them up with one decisive blow."

Yun Qingluo pressed her lips against the cup and said coldly. After she finished speaking, she saw that Yun Tao was still very angry. This girl is really stubborn.

"Yun Tao, stand there and look carefully. Who spoke ill of your princess? Remember them, we'll settle the score later, okay?"

Yun Tao's eyes lit up, and she quickly assured them, "Your Highness, I will definitely remember which family they belong to."

Then he pulled An Jiu to stare at it together. An Jiu was also bored, but when she heard that she could get revenge, she became interested.

The two people were counting the number of people as if they were having a competition.

Yun Qingluo waited idly for a long time, and finally the main character arrived.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

"The Regent has arrived!"

"Your Highnesses and Princesses have arrived!"

Everyone immediately rose, knelt, and bowed, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Empress... Regent..." Yun Qingluo sat in her seat and watched her husband slowly walk towards her.

The flickering lights shone on him, making him appear as if he were draped in colorful auspicious clouds.

As the clouds crumbled, a line from a movie involuntarily came to mind:

"My ideal man is a peerless hero. One day he will come to marry me, wearing golden armor and riding on auspicious clouds of seven colors."

At this moment, Mo Beichen is her hero.

There was once a sincere love placed before her, but she did not cherish it, and only regretted it when she lost it.

If I could have another chance to do it all over again...

Yun Qinglu sniffed. No, she had been reborn. In this life, she would hold on to this love tightly, cherish him, and protect him.

As Mo Beichen approached, he saw Yun Qingluo with red eyes and a sorrowful expression, and his face darkened.

"Did someone bully you?" Mo Beichen walked around behind the table, slowly squatted down, looked into Yun Qingluo's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

His aura was gloomy. He turned his head and looked indifferently at the people in the hall. His oppressive aura swept over the entire hall and spread to the corners of the hall.

Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave when they saw Mo Beichen's icy gaze.

He cried out in his heart: Who has provoked this evil spirit again?

The emperor glanced at Mo Beichen, pretending not to see the coldness in his eyes, and casually sat down in his seat.

But he was inwardly miserable: he didn't know which gossipy person had provoked this madman at this crucial moment. If he found out, he would never let him off easily. Didn't he know the occasion?

Seeing that everyone in the hall was trembling with fear, Yun Qingluo reached out and tugged at Mo Beichen's sleeve, shaking her head slightly as she said:

"Ah Chen, I'm fine. I've just been waiting for you for so long and I miss you."

In an instant, everyone felt as if everything was coming back to life. The ice and snow melted, and the chill in their bodies vanished instantly.

Everyone cautiously looked up and saw that the Regent's expression had brightened considerably.

He wondered what the princess had said that had calmed the prince down in just a few words.

It seems that from now on, it's better to offend the Regent than the Regent's wife. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died.

When I get home, I need to quickly greet the women in the inner quarters properly, lest I foolishly offend Yun Qingluo.

Mo Beichen felt a surge of joy, and his expression softened considerably. "I'll go home earlier from now on."

Mo Feng's eyes widened. Ever since the Princess Consort entered the family, the Prince had spent most of his time at home, except when attending court.

He and Mo Yu were given many tasks to do, and they were both exhausted.

He'll have to go home even earlier from now on; how are he and Mo Yu supposed to live like that?

Seeing the prince's ridiculously happy expression, Mo Feng looked away, unable to bear the sight.

He even felt that if he weren't irreplaceable, the prince would want him to take over the court duties.

Yun Qingluo noticed Mo Feng's expression and guessed that Mo Beichen had probably exploited him a lot in order to spend more time in the mansion.

"I'm really fine, it's just some gossip, it's nothing serious. Don't squat, sit down quickly. Why don't I see anyone from the other three kingdoms?" Yun Qingluo pulled Mo Beichen up and made him sit next to her.

As luck would have it, Mo Beili suddenly sat down at the table next to his.
