Chapter 686: Competing to Please

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Liu Shimei’s awe-inspiring and domineering performance in the afternoon, everyone at the evening banquet unanimously kept their distance from King Dun Yu!

The men, already disdainful of associating with the Silly Second Prince, feared even the slightest contact that might attract Liu Shimei’s attention. Yes, they could control themselves not to approach Huangfuling Lingyao, but they couldn’t guarantee avoiding trouble if he decided to come looking for them!

As for those noble ladies and daughters, upon seeing Huangfuling Lingyao passing by, they quickly moved away, afraid of accidentally getting too close and having Liu Shimei strip them of their dignity!

Among this group of noblewomen, most were conscious of their reputation. They might engage in whispered gossip and backbiting behind their backs. But even if King Dun Yu was good-looking, he was still foolish, and marrying Liu Shimei meant, at best, becoming a concubine with her approval. For them, that was a status downgrade they wouldn’t entertain.

Instead of pursuing Huangfuling Lingyao, they preferred targeting those princes from flourishing maternal clans!

Huangfuling Lingyao was satisfied with this situation, and Liu Shimei was pleased too.

After an afternoon of Huangfuling Lingyao’s various teasing and amusing antics, Liu Shimei’s mood finally improved. Though she didn’t speak at the banquet, she took care of her silly dog and disciple.

Shu Yutong hadn’t dared to make a sound all afternoon, silently accompanying them. Now, seeing Liu Shimei in a good mood, she immediately offered her attentiveness, “Master, this roasted duck skin is so crispy and fragrant. Don’t just focus on serving us; you should eat too!”

Huangfuling Lingyao, of course, didn’t want to be outdone. He picked up some red-braised meat, cut it into several small portions, and placed one in Liu Shimei’s bowl, saying, “Wife, try this. This seems to be made of fish, not pork, making it even more tender and delicious!”

The two of them competed to please, anxiously trying to win her favor.

Watching the quickly accumulating pile of dishes, Liu Shimei smiled helplessly and said, “I’m not angry anymore, you don’t have to do this.”

Her announcement earlier today was a rare occurrence, but it did manage to silence many.

When they first sat down, facing Huangfu He directly, she couldn’t figure out what he was thinking. Unlike usual, he didn’t glance at her more than once; his gaze quickly shifted away.

Of course, this was a good thing.

However, Liu Shimei couldn’t help but wonder what was going on in Huangfu He’s mind now.

Could it be something detrimental to her or Huangfu Lingyao?

She was unable to guess!

There were naturally some performances during the banquet, but regardless of the program, Liu Shimei did not participate.

Huangfu Yao left in the afternoon after his face was swollen from a beating from Huangfu Lingyao. Combined with Liu Shimei’s intimidation, who would dare to provoke this engaged couple?

Not only did the Second Prince easily resort to violence, but it turned out Eldest Young Miss Liu could also fight!

The banquet concluded smoothly, and it was time to release river lanterns.

Zhang Miaozhen originally wanted to come over and greet Liu Shimei, but she saw Liu Shimei and Huangfu Lingyao holding hands. Huangfu Lingyao was also carrying Shu Yutong, giving the appearance of a ‘family of three’. There was no room left for a fourth party, and so, Zhang Miaozhen gave up.

Turning around, she saw Miao Linglong walking towards her. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/velbin(.)com

Miao Linglong smiled. “My elder brother and the others don’t want to accompany me to release river lanterns. Miaozhen, how about the two of us go together?”

Zhang Miaozhen was wary of her and didn’t want to go with her.

But before she could speak, Miao Linglong had already taken her hand and said, “Let’s go. I’ve already chosen the style. Let’s make the river lanterns first!”

Zhang Miaozhen subtly furrowed her brows.

Everyone arrived at the Qingjiu Terrace..
