Capítulo 2223: Chapter 2220: The Banquet
“I will call the servant boy in to give a massage later, and after martial arts training tomorrow morning, I should feel much better.”
Ye Muyu saw that he wasn’t forcing himself, so she didn’t 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: “This letter is for Xie Zhao, I hope he doesn’t let down.”
“Are you planning to send him directly to the Northern Region?” Ye Muyu asked curiously.
“Why?” Chu Heng didn’t deny it, which ant he admitted it.
Ye Muyu shook her head: “It’s just surprising, I thought you wouldn’t trust him to go so far away.”
“After all, according to what you said, Xie Zhao’s sister should also be in the Northern Region, aren’t you afraid he’ll just run away once he’s sent next to her?”
“Not afraid, if soone wants to leave, threats won’t keep them. Otherwise, how could I persuade him?” Chu Heng lightly shook his head, mocking Hu Hua’s past actions.
Winning people’s hearts isn’t that simple.
Besides, Xie Zhao is just a pawn in his hand; it’s worth it if he can play a crucial role. Expecting soone to never betray you is not as good as being more prepared.
Ye Muyu chuckled, leaned over, and kissed the corner of his mouth: “I just like your confident appearance.”
Chu Heng beca unhappy, reached out, and pinched her ear: “You don’t like any other ti?”
“I do, I like them all.” Ye Muyu’s ears turned red, but her eyes were exceptionally gentle and powerful.
Chu Heng’s heart raced for a few monts, wishing he could pull her into his arms right away.
–
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 welcod 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 wasn’t worried.
On the day of the banquet.
Early on, changed into suitable clothes.
The servants at the entrance were arranged for greeting guests.
People ca 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 ca 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 couldn’t compare.
Of course, also the Marquis’s wife and the Earl’s Mansion’s lady.
Most of these people were elevated by their husbands’ status, mostly without any imperial titles.
As a result, Ye Muyu’s 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 sowhat complicated inside, but she maintained a mysterious deanor, sowhat aloof.
Faced with questions she didn’t want to answer, she either said “Is that so?” or simply humd as if she hadn’t heard, or directly changed the subject, even facing those stubbornly foolish ones, she could handle them with ease.
Thus.
Ye Muyu felt that today’s 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.
