Although Mu Qingrou is dressed gorgeously and gracefully today, her appearance of wearing a veil, shrinking back, and not daring to see people really affects her beauty.
"I heard that the scar on Mu Qingrou's face looks like a centipede, which is really scary!"
"No wonder she has to wrap herself tightly in a veil! I remember she used to look good, with fair skin. Doesn't it look obvious that she has an extra scar?"
"Originally, the head of the Mu family planned to spend a huge sum of money to take pictures of the Snow Skin Pill from Yaowang Pavilion because of the scars on her face, but who would have ever thought of being photographed by Ye Qingran for his own cat? Don't you think it's interesting?"
…
For a time, the focus of public opinion turned to Mu Qingrou.
Those unpleasant sounds reached Mu Qingrou's ears one by one, which greatly affected her, who already had low self-esteem due to her disfigurement. She felt that the sounds around her were like magic sounds, lingering around her.
She suddenly turned pale, took a few steps back, tripped over something, then lay back, let out a exclamation, and fell heavily to the ground, lying on her back like an overturned turtle, which caused a roar in the hall.
laugh.
With the help of her maid, Mu Qingrou got up and left the scene in embarrassment, hiding somewhere.
The dinner party had not yet started, and the garden was bustling and noisy. Ye Qingran could not help but frown. Originally, the banquet had already started, but because Queen Gu had not arrived yet, it was postponed.
A melodious piano sound came from not far away. It was difficult to detect in the noisy garden. Ye Qingran didn't want to stay here any longer, so he followed the piano music and found it on the pavilion in the middle of the lake not far outside the garden.
, there is a person sitting, looking at the back, it is a man.
The sound of the piano came from under his hands.
A man in green clothes stood guard outside the pavilion in the center of the lake, solemn and solemn, like a sculpture.
Ye Qingran quickly recognized this person as the younger brother of the current emperor, the Ninth Prince Dongfang Mo.
She did not interrupt and stood by the lake listening. After the music ended, the man in green strode towards her and said, "Miss Ye, my prince has invited me."
Ye Qingran nodded and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion.
He had not been back in Xiliang City for a long time, but thanks to the help of the Ninth Prince several times, Ye Qingran had a good impression of him.
"Your Majesty, this song is the one I played last time?"
Dongfang Mo raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, "Yes, it's your song. But although I remember your song, I still can't play that feeling."
Ye Qingran looked at the man in front of him with a smile.
The best description of the young master is that he is like jade. He is really like a top-quality jade, clean, clear, and unstained by dust.
It's just that these legs...
Ye Qingran pursed his lips, retracted his thoughts, and said: "The Ninth Prince has never experienced war in person, so it is normal for him not to feel that way."
"But isn't it the same for you? How can you create such a majestic momentum?"
"I'm afraid your lord has forgotten that my mother is General Dingyuan."
Dongfang Mo laughed, "I was negligent."
The two continued to chat about the song.
Both of them have stunning looks and good temperament. They are talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is harmonious, making people unbearable to disturb them.
Outside the pavilion, Qing Shu had a pair of faint eyes. There was no emotion on his face, but his heart was filled with emotion.
The master seemed to be able to smile from the bottom of his heart only when he was with Miss Ye.
How great would it be if Miss Ye and her master could be together?
It's just that the master's legs...
A dark memory came to mind...
Back then, if the members of that family hadn't deliberately persecuted him, how could the master have settled in this corner of the east? With the master's talent, he had already made a name for himself in that vast land!
Qingshu's whole body was tense, his hands at his sides were clenched tightly, and blue veins appeared on his forehead, indicating that he was not peaceful at this moment.
…
In the pavilion, the smile on Dongfang Mo's face gradually sank, and his raised eyes were like ink dye, "Don't marry Zhou Hai, he is not your beloved."
Ye Qingran raised his eyebrows slightly, but he was not surprised at all.
"Don't worry, Ninth Prince, I have no plans to get married yet."
"If you don't want to, I can help you."
"If I need help from the Ninth Prince, I will tell you."
Dongfang Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and it took him a while to regain his gentle and jade-like appearance.
"The time is almost up, let's go to the banquet room."
…
With the help of Qingshu, Dongfang Mo sat down in his seat. When everyone saw his appearance, they all saluted and greeted him.
Just then, a sharp voice announced loudly: "The Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Seventh Prince are here!"
Everyone suddenly became solemn again and walked towards the banquet hall to salute the three royal family members.
Ye Qingran kept the "former emperor's order" by himself and even avoided the gesture of saluting.
Empress Gu was dressed elegantly and elegantly today, and her movements showed royal etiquette. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a handsome appearance, wearing a purple brocade robe with a long waist and a long lapel, and a magnificent appearance. The Seventh Prince was also full of nobility, handsome and handsome.
type.
"Everyone, today's banquet is originally held to celebrate the marriage of Ye Qingran, the daughter of General Dingyuan, and Zhou Hai, the minister of etiquette. As long as everyone is happy, there is no need to be restrained."
Empress Gu spoke and smiled in a gentle and generous manner.
Everyone smiled and nodded, saying yes again and again.
Although there was no need to be restrained, Empress Gu had already arranged the seats for the dinner. For example, Ye Qingran and Zhou Hai were placed at the same table.
For today’s dinner, there are three types of seats: one person per table, two people per table and four people per table.
One person per table, only the Queen and the Ninth Prince enjoy such treatment.
As for the two-person seats, only those with higher status can enjoy them. For example, the prince and Ye Huanhuan share a table, the seventh prince and Ye Sisi share a table, and Ye Yu and Zhao share a table.
Most people sit at a table of four.
Ye Qingran had no idea about this arrangement, but Han Xing Leng Yue was disgusted by this arrangement.
That Zhou Hai, they had just seen with their own eyes, and he was even more unsightly than the rumors said!
Ye Qingran sat down, and Zhou Hai also found this side. Looking at Ye Qingran sitting lazily, his triangular eyes showed surprise.
She is indeed the most beautiful woman in Xiliang City. She is truly unrivaled in the world!
He has read thousands of things, but he has never seen such a beautiful person!
He is truly lucky to be able to marry such a good person!
Thinking about it, Zhou Hai couldn't help but reveal an evil light in his eyes.
"Miss Ye, I'm..."
Before Zhou Hai could finish his sentence, he saw that someone had taken the position that belonged to him.
Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment, with obvious surprise on his face. He took a closer look and saw that it was Ling Shaoyang, the eldest son of Lingguo Mansion.
Although Zhou Hai is an official of the imperial court, he is only a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. He is not worthy of attention at all in front of the eldest son of an aristocratic family like Ling Guofu.
So, Zhou Hai licked his face and said cautiously: "Prince Ling, this position belongs to a lower official..."
Ling Shaoyang raised his eyelids and looked at him, "Now he belongs to me!" The evil aura all over his body was so fierce that it made people shudder.
Zhou Hai was shocked.
Although he was afraid of Ling Shaoyang, he still bit the bullet and said: "But, this position was arranged by the Queen..."
Ling Shaoyang remained unmoved.
The movement here attracted the attention of many people. Looking at Prince Ling who was sitting there, looking like he was not to be trifled with, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Everyone knew that the seat next to Ye Qingran was arranged for Zhou Hai. After all, the two of them were the protagonists of the dinner. There seemed to be nothing inappropriate about them sitting together.
But this position was occupied by Ling Shaoyang. And he obviously had no intention of giving it up.
"Prince Ling, the seat you are sitting in was arranged by me for Mr. Zhou."
Queen Gu noticed the situation here and raised her voice.
"My master is not used to sitting with other men!"
