Chapter 175 Stunned by Long Legs
Hearing about the rebellion and the attempt to seize power startled him, and he wanted to stay far away from the fourth prince even more.
Liu Hanxing took a few steps back without making a sound, and the Fourth Prince took a few steps closer to him.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong?"
"It's okay! I'm just a little hot." She took a few steps back, silently pleading in her mind:
[Fourth Prince, we're not close. Don't call me Brother Liu, and don't get too close to me. We're not on the same path!]
In fact, when the system replied that the Fourth Prince had not rebelled, Ye Yaoyao did not respond, and everyone else thought that the Fourth Prince would rebel in the future.
Ye Yaoyao thought that they had secretly allied with the Second Prince, and that the Fourth Prince's maternal clan was not prominent, so she did not pay much attention to them.
[Since the princes are all here, will the crown prince arrive later?]
Just as Ye Yaoyao finished speaking, the Crown Prince arrived.
"The Crown Prince has arrived!" came the announcement from a servant, and Liu Lingchuan greeted him.
The crown prince, dressed in magnificent robes, strode into the main hall with an imposing presence, and everyone bowed in greeting.
"Today is the old Marquis's birthday. I have come to ask for a cup of celebratory wine. I am a guest just like you, so there is no need for formalities."
The Crown Prince smiled and slightly raised his hand to indicate that everyone should dispense with formalities, then looked at Lord Liu.
"Old Marquis, today is your birthday. May your virtue be as enduring as the pine tree, and may you enjoy both fortune and prosperity."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Please take a seat."
[It's true what they say, people arrive as soon as they're mentioned; it's my maternal grandfather's birthday, and it seems like the first time so many princes have come.]
"The Emperor's brother-in-law has arrived!" The announcement came from outside the door again.
Chen Guojiu looked listless again.
Hehe! One after another, they're walking the red carpet! I wonder who'll be the grand finale?
[Host, you've turned your grandfather's birthday banquet into a show.]
[Looks just like him! This imperial brother-in-law is perfectly healthy, yet he always puts on that expression. He should trip over the threshold and fall to his senses.]
Just as he was about to step into the hall, Chen Guojiu suddenly tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
"Your Excellency, be careful."
An adult who was nearby strode forward to help him, but was pushed by Chen Guojiu's outstretched hand, causing him to lose his balance and fall on top of him.
The sudden turn of events stopped everyone in their conversation, and all eyes were on the two disheveled figures.
Having attended many banquets, I've never seen anyone fall flat on their face as soon as they arrive. Uncle Chen's birthday greetings are truly sincere.
A smile flickered in everyone's eyes, and some people covered their mouths to avoid laughing out loud.
Liu Hanxing and Ye Jingyang suppressed their laughter and went over to help the two up.
The official looked embarrassed and apologetic as he gazed at Chen Guojiu.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I meant to help you up, but I couldn't stand up properly either."
Ye Yaoyao covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter, secretly pleased with herself.
[Serves you right for trying to act tough! Now you've made a fool of yourself!]
Chen Guojiu lost face and his expression darkened. He couldn't make a scene since he had fallen, so he raised his head and burst into laughter.
"Haha! I'm already drunk before I've even tasted the wine. This wine must be excellent."
"Yes! It must be fine wine. We must drink to our hearts' content today."
"Is it one of Yaoyao's supernatural powers that everything she says comes true?" Liu Wangshu asked Liu Yunshu in a low voice as she entered the main hall.
"Right! It's worked several times." Liu Yunshu nodded.
Prince Ding looked intently at Ye Yaoyao.
[By the way, didn't we suspect he and Xue Ruoxue were having an affair last time? Can the system find out?]
[Host, nothing found.]
Just because it wasn't found doesn't mean it didn't exist; Ye Yaoyao remained skeptical.
【Huh! Who is he looking for?】
Ye Yaoyao saw Chen Guojiu sit down, looking around as if searching for someone. Just as she was about to gossip about Chen Guojiu, the announcement came from outside the door again.
"His Highness Prince Jing has arrived."
The person giving the announcement sounded somewhat agitated, and everyone stopped talking and looked towards the main entrance.
Qin Jingyu appeared dressed in a silver brocade robe and wearing a mask. His steps were steady and powerful, exuding an invisible pressure.
The guests unconsciously held their breath, and no one spoke.
[The final person is a handsome man! Fortunately, we won't see his stunning good looks, but his long legs alone are enough to leave everyone speechless.]
[Host, you're the one looking at those long legs, aren't you!]
Those who heard his thoughts: We were admiring Prince Jing's graceful demeanor, and you were thinking about long legs?
Aside from palace banquets, Qin Jingyu was rarely seen. Ye Yaoyao had seen him so many times that she was immune to it.
Hearing Ye Yaoyao admiring his long legs, Qin Jingyu further accentuated the advantage of his long legs.
Wow! Even supermodels can't compare to this handsome man! Sending hearts!
The system couldn't bear to watch; the host had become a lovesick fool again.
Those who looked at Ye Yaoyao saw that she looked somewhat excited and made a hand gesture, which should be what she meant by making a heart shape with her hands.
Ye Yaoyao occasionally said things they couldn't understand, but they knew from the words that she was praising them.
"Greetings, Your Highness Prince Jing."
"No need to be polite."
"Greetings, Ninth Imperial Uncle!" The Crown Prince and several princes came over to pay their respects, and Qin Jingyu casually waved his hand.
"Ninth Imperial Uncle, this is the first time I have ever seen you visit our prestigious family residence. It is quite a rare occasion."
The Crown Prince joked that none of the princes had ever even stepped inside the gates of Prince Jing's residence.
"I've been bored lately, so I came to join in the fun."
"It is truly an honor for the Liu family that Ninth Imperial Uncle is here." The Crown Prince's gaze held a hint of inquiry, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Just now, he looked at Ye Yaoyao and made some kind of hand gesture, the meaning of which was unclear. It seems that the fact that he came here means that the Liu family has indeed sided with Prince Jing.
"Your Highness's presence is an honor; I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you sooner." The old Marquis smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
"I have come uninvited, please do not take offense, my lord."
"Your Highness, what are you saying? It is an honor for the Liu family that you can attend my birthday banquet. It is time, everyone please move to the banquet hall."
The banquet hall was very large, with seats arranged so that men and women sat on one side and so on the other.
Ye Yaoyao then looked at Chen Guojiu. He had looked around when he came, but now he kept glancing at the women opposite him. Following his gaze, she saw the direction of Liu Yunshu and her sister.
[System, does he see me as my mother or my aunt?]
[It's your aunt.]
[System, quickly give me the information about how my aunt and Chen Guojiu met.]
【……OK!】
System: Tsk tsk! You said you wouldn't look into your family's privacy, doesn't this count?
Liu Wangshu frowned. What could possibly be going on between her and Chen Chengsi?
Wow! Big news! Big news! The emperor's brother-in-law had a crush on his aunt when he was a teenager.
The Liu family members, who were chatting with others, stopped talking and pricked up their ears to listen to the gossip.
When Chen Guojiu was young, he was a little tyrant who always acted arrogantly and bullied others.
Wow! It's hard to believe that this sleepy person used to be so energetic! What happened to them? They're just putting on such a convincing act.
Ye Yaoyao glanced at Chen Guojiu, and the elders vaguely remembered that Chen Guojiu really used to be like that.
[It turns out that all living things have natural enemies. The little tyrant bullied others, but was met and taught a lesson by the little chili pepper.]
Haha! Uncle Chen calls his aunt "Little Chili Pepper."
Liu Wangshu's face darkened. "Little Chili Pepper? Is it because she used to like wearing red clothes?"
What else could they possibly have to do? Liu Wangshu quickly searched her mind for memories that were rarely related to Chen Chengsi.
