Everyone was discussing the woman that the Crown Prince had brought in.
"Did you see that His Highness the Crown Prince actually brought a woman here!”
"That's right! And she's a fairy-like woman."
"I wonder which family's young lady? She was so blessed to be pampered by the Crown Prince. His Highness was cold and indifferent to the Emperor and Empress.”
"If she's the daughter of any family, then she'll have a meteoric rise!”
"Anyway, I don't have such a good daughter, but I have many sons.”
"Hehehehe! Likewise!"
Everyone ate meat, drank wine, and chatted. How could they not eat as much as they could? Giving a gift was equivalent to giving away half a year's salary. His mouth was filled with some official language, but in his heart, he had long cursed the Prime Minister out of shape.
After the lights and singing and dancing were over, the prime minister stood in the middle of the stage. Li Zimeng finally saw his only father who was related to him by blood. He was not too old. Although he had some white hair, he was still tall and straight, and he was very kind. Kind? Why did she think of this phrase? Would the kind him let her live like this for the rest of her life? The flames of hatred burned again.
"Everyone, everyone, please allow me to say a few words.”The entire place instantly fell silent.
"Today, I'm very happy that everyone has come to congratulate this old man, especially to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for coming.”The Prime Minister bowed to the Crown Prince, who nodded slightly.
"There's also the Second Prince, the Fifth Princess, and all the ministers. This old man is truly honored. Everyone is a friend, and I hope that everyone will come to my humble abode more often in the future. I also hope that everyone will drink well today and have fun.”Applause rang out.
"Since the Prime Minister has said so, I wish the Prime Minister a smooth journey, a happy family, and a steady rise.”Chu Mo raised his wine cup and the Prime Minister also raised his wine cup.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The two of them drank and smiled at each other. The singing and dancing became even more lively than before. Chu Mo sat at the very top. The Second Prince, Li Ziqi, the Princess, and Li Xian sat on the left and right respectively. The Prime Minister and Eldest Aunt sat below the Second Prince, and then Chu Feng and Chu Jingyi sat next to each other. The Prime Minister sized up Li Zimeng from time to time. Not only him, but many others were also sizing her up.
"Your Highness, thank you very much for coming to my humble residence despite your busy schedule. This lowly official represents my family to toast you.”The Prime Minister walked forward, followed by Eldest Concubine.
"Why would the Prime Minister say that? Second Imperial Brother renovated this place so well, why is it still a humble house? Was there something he was not satisfied with? Why don't we ask Second Imperial Brother to change it?" The moment Chu Mo said this, the Second Prince and the Prime Minister's expressions changed.
"That's right! If father-in-law is not good in any way, you can tell me and I will change it.”The Second Prince said with a dark face.
"No! No, I like it very much.”The Prime Minister's forehead was covered in sweat.
"That's good. Congratulations to the Prime Minister and his wife for their hospitality. The prime minister's wife was still as charming as ever!”These words made the people below sigh endlessly. How could His Highness the Crown Prince say such flowery words? Eldest Concubine was secretly delighted. Even the Crown Prince had praised her. It seemed that she still had her charm, and she became even more proud.
"Quickly come and greet His Highness!" The Prime Minister saw that his wife was still standing there and pulled her up. Eldest Concubine came back to her senses and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed,""Commoner Li greets Your Highness.”Such a big commotion shocked everyone below. Li Zimeng had been very quiet since she came in. It was so quiet that it was not like her. She just stared at them like clowns. This was how they used to look at her!
"Lord Prime Minister, is it because I look too scary? Why did Madam get so scared?”Chu Mo's expression changed.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. Madam rarely attends such banquets and doesn't know the rules. Please forgive me, Your Highness!”The prime minister had no choice but to kneel down and plead for mercy. The prime minister really wanted to strangle this woman to death in his heart.
"It's fine! I'm not a petty person, but the Prime Minister still needs to have his family's upbringing. Otherwise, he will hinder you in the future.”
"Yes, yes, yes. This lowly official will definitely discipline him well. Thank you, Your Highness.”The prime minister stood up and pulled up his wife, who was trembling in fear. Li Zimeng smiled. He thought that it was something impressive, but he was scared like this. There were still so many good shows to watch? He would be scared out of his wits later. Li Zimeng took a sip of wine. Chu Mo reached out and wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth. To outsiders, His Highness was already possessed.
"When did His Highness the Crown Prince get such a beautiful woman? Hiding it." The Second Prince tried to change the awkward atmosphere.
"That's right! Brother Crown Prince, why don't you introduce us to which family's young lady? We can also be companions.”Chu Linger added.
Come on! Come on! They were all targeting her!
"I don't know if she's willing to say it!”Chu Mo looked at Li Zimeng affectionately.
"I'll tell everyone about this later! Today is the grand day of the Prime Minister's departure. I didn't prepare any big gifts, so I'll dance for everyone! Please don't laugh at me." Li Zimeng's every move revealed the temperament of a young lady from a wealthy family.
This was definitely not that girl. That girl was just a country girl. How could she be so polite? It was as if she was used to such scenes. It seemed that she was really a young lady from some family. His heart also relaxed.
"I'll go change first." As she spoke to Chu Mo, Chu Mo smiled and nodded. Lian 'er helped her to her room to change her clothes and headwear.
"Lian 'er, if anything happens later, take the money we saved and leave that courtyard.”Li Zimeng said uneasily.
"Miss, what are you talking about? What do you mean by something?" Lian 'er paused what she was doing. She felt a little uneasy. The young miss today was too different.
"Nothing. I just felt that something happened.”Li Zimeng clutched his chest.
"Miss, don't worry. If you want to leave, we'll leave together. You're my only family.”Lian 'er's eyes and tone were so firm, making Li Zimeng feel warm in this harsh winter. The two embraced.
After waiting for a while, some people started to get impatient, but they didn't dare to show it in front of the Crown Prince.
"Miss Li's dance, Ten Thousand Butterflies Piercing Through Flowers.”A small carriage announced, and everyone's gaze gathered to the furthest distance. Two zither players, one playing the zither and the other playing the flute, walked over leisurely. The zither player sat on the right, and the flute player stood on the left. The music started. After two beats, the music began to intensify. The girl flew over, grabbing the silk cloth in front of her with one hand. She was wearing a pink dress that revealed her snow-white arms, causing the men to swallow their saliva. Chu Mo frowned. Li Zimeng flew to the middle of the stage, with many butterflies and small flowers on her head. She was wearing a pink dress with tulle sleeves connected to her inner clothes. She was wearing a pink pleated dress that reached her chest. The flowers on it looked real and were in bud. There was a peach blossom between her eyebrows. Everyone couldn't take their eyes off her. She just stood there and danced on it.
