Chapter 119 Gossip at the Birthday Banquet
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Chen Yue glanced at him.
Yu Zhan did not answer, but asked Chen Yue:
"Did His Highness ask you to investigate Wang Lang?"
"What? Your right hon. Are you also interested in Wang Lang?" Chen Yue asked with a smile.
"What do you think?"
Yu Zhan answered unhappily.
Chen Yue listened and shrugged: "Follow if you want."
The two of them, one bright and one dark, went out together.
Feng Shenyu has been tied up in government affairs for the past two days and cannot stick with Li Yueyao every day.
Two days later, I received news that Li Yueyao met Wang Lang on the street, and she became very irritable.
Every morning, the six ministries stayed behind to discuss matters, but were all left at a loss by Feng Shenyu's comments.
The emperor was very happy when he saw this.
The six ministers are going crazy!
Could Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess of Jinyang please reconcile with the Right Prime Minister as soon as possible? If not, we will be in complete trouble.
It was mid-June and Li Yueyao's birthday was approaching.
Sure enough, Li Yueyao sent an invitation to Wang Lang, inviting him to come to her house to perform.
When Wang Lang received the invitation, he happily agreed and said that he would definitely attend the appointment on time.
When Feng Shenyu received the news, he crushed the teacup in his hand, which scared Yanxin so much that he was worried all day long.
June 18th is Li Yueyao’s birthday.
Li Yueyao wore a dark rouge-colored smoke-cloud gauze dress, and Feng Shenyu also wore a round-necked robe of floating brocade in the same color.
Yan Tai once said that Fengshen Jade is most suitable for wearing red clothes. The rouge color is close to red, but not pure red.
If other people wore this dress, they would definitely look effeminate, but Fengshenyu was different.
This outfit makes him look even more handsome and extraordinary.
The two of them wore couple outfits and appeared in front of everyone openly. Those who didn't know would have thought they were getting married today.
Everyone came to congratulate Li Yueyao.
The emperor and the virtuous concubine also came. The virtuous concubine came to celebrate Li Yueyao's birthday.
The emperor came simply to watch the fun and wanted to see what Wang Lang looked like.
Feng Shenyu repeatedly told Nanny Qin and Cuiwei to keep an eye on Li Yueyao and not let her get drunk.
Cuiwei was smart and had replaced the wine in the jug with tea long ago. Li Yueyao raised her glass frequently to those who came to congratulate her.
In order to prevent others from noticing, Cuiwei poured some wine on Li Yueyao's handkerchief so that others could smell the wine when holding it in their hands.
After three rounds of drinking, the sounds of singing and dancing gradually rose. After a dance, Wang Lang came on stage.
The cheerful congratulatory song brightened the mood of the wives and young ladies of the court officials who came to attend the birthday celebration.
"Wang Lang's music is like a kingfisher leaping on a branch, so joyful."
"Yes, look at the way he plays the piano, there's something quite elegant about it."
"Wang Lang is so handsome, much better looking than those young men."
"That's right."
A group of young ladies chattered and talked at once.
The virtuous concubine looked at Li Yueyao and nodded. This Wang Lang has a good appearance. No wonder the junior master uncle is jealous.
On the other hand, the young men on the other side had completely different attitudes. They all looked Wang Lang up and down, finding fault with him.
"He's just a pretty boy, what's there to see?"
"That's right, a poor kid who came here to seek refuge, isn't it just his face? What's there to admire?"
"I heard that he wants to marry this noble lady in the capital and have a good future."
"People like this are just for fun, just playthings."
Feng Shenyu listened to the young men below commenting on Wang Lang, and agreed in his heart that there was indeed nothing to worry about.
The emperor, however, said with a smile, "Well, Wang Lang plays the music well, and he is also good-looking. His appearance is comparable to that of the Right Prime Minister."
Hearing the emperor say this, the young men below had no choice but to agree and praise Wang Lang again.
Feng Shenyu listened with a cold face.
When the emperor saw Fengshenyu Lengmian, he was very happy and listened to Wang Lang's music seriously, seeming to be intoxicated.
When Li Yueyao looked at Wang Lang, it was like she was attending a concert, except that she was sitting in the C position.
Listening to the music and hearing its wonderful parts, they sang along with the rhythm and showed great support.
Seeing that Li Yueyao was so interested, the ladies all cheered along.
After Wang Lang's performance, Li Yueyao called people over for questioning, and finally arranged a seat for Wang Lang next to her table.
During the following banquet, Wang Lang stayed by Li Yueyao's side.
The news soon reached Feng Shenyu's ears, and Feng Shenyu's face became even uglier.
After about a cup of tea, Feng Shenyu couldn't bear it anymore and came over with a glass of wine.
Standing on the covered bridge not far from the palace, I saw from afar Wang Lang sitting next to Li Yueyao, and the two were clinking glasses and drinking.
The jealousy in my heart was boiling again.
Li Yueyao looked up and saw Feng Shenyu. Seeing that he looked unhappy and was looking at her coldly, she felt inexplicably guilty.
He raised his hand, raised the glass in Fengshenyu's direction, and drank it all in one gulp.
Feng Shenyu drank the wine in the glass, snorted with an unfriendly expression, and turned away.
This scene was seen by all the ladies in the hall.
Seeing the Right Prime Minister leave in an unhappy mood, everyone looked at each other and dared not speak.
The affair between Li Yueyao and Feng Shenyu was no longer a secret in the capital. Everyone knew that the Right Prime Minister had been looking for Li Yueyao for ten years.
After finally finding her, he packed his bags and went to the house, forcing himself to stay at the Grand Princess's residence.
It was widely rumored in the capital that the two were a match made in heaven and that good things were about to happen.
The two of them appeared today wearing couple outfits, which further confirmed everyone's guess.
Looking at the relationship between the two now, it seems that it is not so harmonious.
Anyone who is a little smarter will understand what is going on when they see Wang Lang beside Li Yueyao.
As for the birthday banquet, when the guests left, they all returned to their homes with a lot of gossip in their minds.
That night, everyone in each mansion was discussing the complicated emotional relationship between Li Yueyao, Feng Shenyu, and Wang Lang.
But at night, Feng Shenyu became angry and beat Li Yueyao up on the couch.
"Your Highness, are you planning to fall in love with someone else?" Feng Shenyu said with a bad look on his face.
"Fengshenyu...you...what are you crazy about?"
Li Yueyao was under the beautiful body of the man and was manipulated to the point where she couldn't control herself.
"Your Highness, I want to ask you a question. Are you interested in Wang Lang and planning to fall in love with someone else?"
Feng Shenyu asked slowly.
"I didn't. Fengshenyu...you..."
"No, then what does Your Highness think?"
Feng Shenyu was malicious and tortured Li Yueyao again and again.
"I didn't think much of it. I just thought his music was nice...ah..."
"The music is nice, but isn't the person pretty?" Feng Shenyu moved suddenly.
"No... not as good as you..."
Li Yueyao's words "You are not as good as me" pleased Feng Shenyu.
"Then why do you keep running into him, Your Highness? Why did you let him sit next to you today? With everyone watching, everyone is guessing you're falling in love with someone else."
“I didn’t…ah…
I suspect he has other motives and have sent Chen Yue to investigate him."
When Feng Shenyu heard this, he stopped moving and looked down at Li Yueyao seriously:
"Are you serious?"
"Didn't Yu Zhan go with Chen Yue...? Didn't he... report it to you?"
Li Yueyao said while gasping for breath.
Feng Shenyu saw sweat on Li Yueyao's forehead, so he lowered his head and kissed her before starting to move normally.
After that, Feng Shenyu held Li Yueyao and took a shower together.
Li Yueyao thought of what had just happened and became angry. She bit Feng Shenyu's shoulder hard, and only then did she feel better.
Feng Shenyu felt the pain in his shoulder, but he smiled and held the person in his arms lovingly.
