Chapter 405 Long time no see
Chu Li sat in the women's area.
The noble ladies around him covered their faces with handkerchiefs and whispered to each other.
"I heard that Prince Rui would come today, and I was so excited that I didn't sleep all night."
"You are not ashamed. Prince Rui belongs to me."
"Look at yourselves in the mirror. How can you be worthy of Prince Rui? He belongs to me."
"Bah, you didn't look in the mirror. You are not Ye Hanyan, the most beautiful woman in Daxia country. You are so confident."
Chu Li had seen the customs of the people of Daxia, and found that they were indeed more open than those of Dachu.
These noble ladies were so bold in their pursuit of Ye Hanting.
She secretly glanced at Ye Hanting. He was still as cold as ever, sitting there without looking around, not even at any woman, and even she didn't notice.
However, Jun Anrou quickly made all the noble ladies notice Chu Li.
"Oh, why is there a woman with a veil sitting there? I have never seen her before!"
Someone else echoed: "Isn't it because he is too ugly that he sits in that corner and dares not show his true face to others?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Her eyes are so beautiful. Could it be that she has a big mole on her face?"
The noble ladies all laughed at Chu Li, and Jun Anrou smiled smugly.
I heard that this woman is very much in the favor of the Empress Dowager. She wants to make sure this vixen can't stay here any longer and get out of here quickly.
Nanny Gui behind Chu Li couldn't stand it anymore.
"Divine Doctor, the Queen Mother arranged a seat for you in the first row. Why don't you sit in the front and let them criticize you like this? Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"
The Empress Dowager has said that the miracle doctor must not be neglected.
She was representing the Empress Dowager at the banquet, so how could she tolerate these noble ladies slandering and humiliating her?
Chu Li smiled lightly, "Nothing to do, gossiping, accumulating good karma, and dying quickly."
The nanny laughed. No wonder the Empress Dowager liked the character of the miracle doctor.
Such calmness and peace of mind are similar to the Empress Dowager's demeanor when she was young.
As soon as Jun Yaohua came in, she saw the noble ladies led by Jun Anrou criticizing Chu Li.
She stood in front of them with a stern look on her face.
"Your Highness!" All the noble ladies stood up respectfully and saluted her.
Jun Yaohua said coldly: "That miracle doctor is my guest. If anyone dares to neglect her, I will ask her to leave!"
The noble ladies immediately knew that the veiled woman was the miracle doctor who treated the Empress Dowager.
Only then did they realize that standing behind Chu Li was Nanny Gui, who served the Empress Dowager.
Because of Nanny Gui's words, they would never be able to attend such a grand banquet, and would even be punished by their elders at home.
They all became as quiet as chickens.
Jun Yaohua glanced at Chu Li, then at Ye Hanting in the distance. General Ye was having a very pleasant conversation with him.
Silly brother, your wife is being bullied, what are you doing?
She was about to go find Ye Hanting angrily, but Ye Hanyan suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Sister Yaohua."
Jun Yaohua was pulled by her to sit down, and His Majesty and the Queen came together.
The whole hall fell silent in an instant.
Ye Hanyan also noticed Chu Li. She opened her red lips slightly and asked, "Your Highness, she is Shui Nanyin, the miracle doctor who treated the Empress Dowager?"
Jun Yaohua nodded absentmindedly.
Ye Hanyan looked at Chu Li's outline and bright eyes under the veil.
This woman has fair skin, a good figure, and should be very beautiful.
She found that Jun Yaohua had been looking at Jun Ling. The moment Jun Ling and Jun Yaohua looked at each other, she excitedly pointed at Chu Li who was wearing a veil.
Ye Hanting looked in the direction of her hand and saw a woman in white wearing a veil sitting in the corner.
He recognized Chu Li at a glance.
Ye Hanting's pupils suddenly dilated and his heartbeat gradually quickened.
Chu Li!
She actually came to Daxia for him!
His heart was beating wildly and there was a light of joy in his eyes. This scene happened to be seen by Ye Hanyan.
She followed Jun Ling's gaze and saw the so-called miracle doctor wearing a veil.
That woman came from Da Chu. Could it be that Jun Ling knew her?
She found that Jun Yaohua was smiling brightly and Jun Yaohua also knew her.
Who is she?
Ye Hanting found that Chu Li had not looked up, and she seemed not to have seen him.
He wanted to get up and look for her, but he heard Jun Yunting say loudly:
"Today, my dear ministers have gathered together to pray for a good harvest for the Great Xia Kingdom. Today, regardless of the distinction between the ruler and the minister, please drink and eat meat with big mouthfuls. The younger generations, please perform your art."
All the ministers bowed in thanks with joy.
Jun Yaohua presented a painting of a hundred blessings that she had written herself, and Jun Anrou presented a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, in order to curry favor with the queen.
Everyone praised the princess and the county lady for their outstanding talents.
Then it was Ye Hanyan's turn. She was dressed in red and came gracefully.
She sat in front of the guqin and said, "Your Majesty, today I will present a song of mountains and rivers to pray for the prosperity of the Great Xia nation to last for thousands of years!"
The princes and nobles praised him.
"Ms. Ye Hanyan is truly stunningly beautiful. General Ye is so lucky!"
"Yes, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Ye family will marry Prince Rui soon."
"Ah? Isn't she going to marry the prince?"
"I heard about it, too. I don't know if it's true or not."
The corners of Ye Hanyan's lips rose slightly. Her father had already told her that His Majesty would grant her and Jun Ling a marriage.
She has spread the news.
By then, everyone will think that they are a perfect match, and their marriage will be a natural progression.
Those noble ladies can only envy.
Jun Yunting nodded and signaled Ye Hanyan to start playing.
Unexpectedly, Ye Hanyan suddenly looked at Chu Li who was sitting in the corner.
"Your Majesty, I want the woman dressed as a dancer to dance to entertain you!"
Everyone followed her gaze and saw a beautiful woman wearing a veil.
Chu Li raised her eyes and saw many pairs of eyes looking at her.
She heard everything. Ye Hanyan was actually Ye Hanting's fiancée.
"Shut up, you're talking nonsense!" Ye Hanting's voice came, his expression cold, looking at Ye Hanyan.
Who does she think she is? She actually said Chu Li looks like a dancer!
Everyone looked at Prince Rui. Why did he, who was usually quiet, suddenly get angry at Miss Ye?
Ye Hanyan's face turned from red to white, and from white to blue.
Why did Jun Ling scold her? Aren’t they about to get engaged?
When Chi Yan saw Chu Li, his eyes widened and he was overjoyed.
Oh my, the master has made great progress. The mistress has actually chased him all the way to Daxia!
Ye Hanting stood up and walked towards Chu Li step by step from his warm seat.
The cold wind outside the window swirled into a corner of the hall with snowflakes and fell on Chu Li's dress.
The entire hall was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the sound of wind blowing through the charcoal fire. In Ye Hanting's eyes, he could only see Chu Li.
Chu Li heard her own heartbeat. Ever since she knew what Ye Hanting had done, all her doubts about him were dispelled.
She believed him.
What fiancée Ye Hanyan? It must be the other party's wishful thinking.
Soon, Ye Hanting stood in front of Chu Li, his voice trembling and gentle, "Divine Doctor, long time no see."
He couldn't make public Chu Li's relationship with him now.
If those people want to harm him, Chu Li might be implicated.
Chu Li met his burning gaze and smiled slightly, "Long time no see, Master Ye."
