CapĂtulo 2223: Chapter 2220: The Banquet
âI will call the servant boy in to give me a massage later, and after martial arts training tomorrow morning, I should feel much better.â
Ye Muyu saw that he wasnât forcing himself, so she didnât insist further.
She sat down across from him.
Organized the outline of the book.
Chu Heng picked up the pen, wrote a letter, and sent it out with the secret guards, saying: âThis letter is for Xie Zhao, I hope he doesnât let me down.â
âAre you planning to send him directly to the Northern Region?â Ye Muyu asked curiously.
âWhy?â Chu Heng didnât deny it, which meant he admitted it.
Ye Muyu shook her head: âItâs just surprising, I thought you wouldnât trust him to go so far away.â
âAfter all, according to what you said, Xie Zhaoâs sister should also be in the Northern Region, arenât you afraid heâll just run away once heâs sent next to her?â
âNot afraid, if someone wants to leave, threats wonât keep them. Otherwise, how could I persuade him?â Chu Heng lightly shook his head, mocking Hu Huaâs past actions.
Winning peopleâs hearts isnât that simple.
Besides, Xie Zhao is just a pawn in his hand; itâs worth it if he can play a crucial role. Expecting someone to never betray you is not as good as being more prepared.
Ye Muyu chuckled, leaned over, and kissed the corner of his mouth: âI just like your confident appearance.â
Chu Heng became unhappy, reached out, and pinched her ear: âYou donât like me any other time?â
âI do, I like them all.â Ye Muyuâs ears turned red, but her eyes were exceptionally gentle and powerful.
Chu Hengâs heart raced for a few moments, wishing he could pull her into his arms right away.
â
With Chu Heng having help, not as busy as before.
Ye Muyu was busy hosting guests at the residence.
Besides the ladies, quite a few young misses were also brought to participate in the banquet.
Ye Muyu welcomed the elders, while Chu Ziluo was responsible for taking these young misses around to talk and play.
She had learned these things for quite a while, so Ye Muyu wasnât worried.
On the day of the banquet.
Early on, changed into suitable clothes.
The servants at the entrance were arranged for greeting guests.
People came one after another.
The earliest to arrive was Lady Huo from next door.
Initially, it was wives of lower-ranking officials entering, but after the Chenshi period, it was the wives of third-grade officials and second-grade officials, the highest status belonging to the Elder Lady Zhong.
Elder Lady Zhong came with her eldest daughter-in-law and her young granddaughter. Her rank was now that of a first-rank imperial wife.
Even the wives of Chief of Staff couldnât compare.
Of course, also the Marquisâs wife and the Earlâs Mansionâs lady.
Most of these people were elevated by their husbandsâ status, mostly without any imperial titles.
As a result, Ye Muyuâs second-rank imperial title was actually a top tier, with only Elder Lady Zhong having a higher rank.
Seeing each elderly lady speaking to her with praise and respectful titles, Ye Muyu felt somewhat complicated inside, but she maintained a mysterious demeanor, somewhat aloof.
Faced with questions she didnât want to answer, she either said âIs that so?â or simply hummed as if she hadnât heard, or directly changed the subject, even facing those stubbornly foolish ones, she could handle them with ease.
Thus.
Ye Muyu felt that todayâs banquet.
Was exceptionally, relaxed.
Yes, indeed relaxing.
Far better than what she initially anticipated.
Taking advantage as the ladies were captivated by the female teacher lecturing on stage, Ye Muyu exhaled, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and composed herself.
