Chapter 80: Waiting (Five Watches)
Early the next morning, after Chu Liuyue woke up, she found that Chu Ning had already returned, and she was waiting for her in the hall with breakfast ready.
She had already talked to Chu Ning about changing houses before, so Chu Ning knew about this.
"Why did Daddy come back so early? Didn't Your Majesty say that you would be left to talk at night?
Chu Ning looked at her lovingly:
"Come and eat. Daddy actually came back in the middle of the night, but at that time, seeing that you were already asleep, he didn't call you. β
Chu Liuyue sat down next to him, looked at the hot breakfast, and couldn't help but joke:
"Daddy is now the president of the Praetorian Guard, and this meal is very expensive!"
Chu Ning raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch her head, but after a pause, he withdrew his hand and sighed:
"To Daddy, you are the most precious thing! Yesterday was the day of your wedding, and I had planned to come back as soon as I had finished speaking to Your Majesty. Unexpectedly, I talked to His Majesty about the evening, and it rained heavily, so I came back late. β
Chu Liuyue's heart warmed.
"Daddy has already made longevity noodles for Yue'er yesterday, which is enough. β
Chu Ning shook his head, regretful and sorry:
"It's a pity that I couldn't give Yue'er a grand ceremony. β
"Daddy became the president of the Praetorian Guard, which is already the best gift. In addition, if her father can promise Yue'er to cut off relations with the Chu family, Yue'er is already satisfied. β
Chu Ning is different from her, he has deep feelings for the Chu family.
But when he heard her say this, he was silent for a while, and then directly agreed.
"In the past, we were in a difficult situation, and leaving the Chu family would only get worse, but now everything is different, so naturally there is no need to continue to stay there!"
Chu Ning laughed, his face full of pride.
"But Daddy didn't expect that our Yue'er not only has recovered her original vein, but even has the talent of a Xuanshi! Don't worry, Daddy has asked the people below to send out invitations, and we will celebrate Yue'er in the Welcome Building at noon!"
He is now in a different status, and the network resources in the early years have been restored, so it is naturally easier to do this.
"Yue'er thinks, how many tables should be placed? I asked Zhao Ming to set ten tables, is it enough?"
Chu Liuyue picked up a bowl of porridge:
"Daddy just decides. β
"Then ten tables first, if it's not enough, add more!"
Just then, a man in Praetorian Guard armor walked through the door.
"I've seen the Commander!"
"Zhao Ming, has it been discussed over there in the Welcome Building?" Chu Ning asked with a smile.
Zhao Ming looked a little hesitant:
"Commander, the welcome building said that it is full today, and there is no way to host a banquet..."
Chu Ning smiled slightly.
"That's fine. Chunxing Building is also good. β
Zhao Ming's head hung lower.
β... Commander, his subordinates have already gone to Chunxing Building to ask, and they also said that there is no spare space today. The most famous ones in the imperial capital all say that they are full..."
What Chu Ning has realized:
"So, they won't?"
Zhao Ming didn't dare to speak.
In fact, not only these famous shops, but even some ordinary restaurants he also asked.
At the beginning, when they heard that they were going to host a banquet, they were very polite, but as soon as they heard that Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue were going to do it, they refused like avoiding snakes and scorpions.
Everyone's reaction was remarkably similar, as if they had been discussed.
Chu Ning's face became a little cold, and he slowly clenched his fists.
Obviously, this is the people from the Chu family's side who are playing ghosts!
They did this to embarrass them!
...
Chu family.
"My poor Minmin, that Chu Liuyue is really ruthless, he actually hurt you to such a degree!"
Chu Xianmin had been sent back to the Chu family yesterday, and when Lu Yao saw her appearance, she almost didn't faint.
Even after the night, when she mentioned this incident, she was still trembling with anger.
Chu Xianmin lay on the bed in despair, his face was as pale as a ghost, and his whole person looked much haggard.
Next to her bed, shattered mirrors were scattered.
Her eyes were unfocused, and she only kept muttering:
"My face... My face..."
As he spoke, he began to cry again.
"Mother, my face is ruined! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't want me anymore! It's all Chu Liuyue! It's all that slut! She's damned!"
Lu Yao stepped forward to hug her in distress, gritting her teeth:
"Minmin! Your face will be fine! Niang will definitely help you! That Chu Liuyue, Niang will definitely not let her go!"
Chu Yan, who had always had a gloomy face on the side, finally shouted impatiently:
"Okay! Crying and crying, what do you want to look like! What is the face, your talent has been crushed by her, this is the point!"
Chu Xianmin shrank for a moment, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
In the end, it is his own daughter, Chu Yan felt compassion in her heart, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said:
"Don't worry, Dad will avenge you! Whether it's Chu Liuyue or Chu Ning, it's impossible for them to make any waves this time! Wasn't they very proud yesterday? They also said that they would hold a wine to celebrate. I want to see which family dares to oppose the Chu family and give them a cheer! If you want to gain a foothold in the imperial capital single-handedly, where is it so easy!"
Chu Xianmin unwillingly tightened the corners of his clothes: "But Chu Ning is now the presidential leader of the Praetorian Guard, and Chu Liuyue has become a genius again, even if this banquet can't be held, in the futureββ"
Lu Yao sneered:
"Whether they can have a future is hard to say. β
...
"Dad, don't ask, these shops in the imperial capital have obviously received some kind of hint. Even if there is none, people who are interested will not go against the Chu family. β
Chu Liuyue drank the porridge unhurriedly and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Chu Ning's brows furrowed.
I said I wanted to celebrate, but now I'm afraid I can't do it.
If you say it, I'm afraid that you will be laughed at by the people in the imperial capital.
"Then what should we do now?" Chu Ning didn't want his daughter to suffer a little more grievances, "It's really not good, I'll go in person-"
No matter what he says, he is also the president of the Praetorian Guard, and they will not give no face at all.
Chu Liuyue pressed his arm and shook his head.
"Daddy doesn't have to come forward. Now everybody's looking at us, and doing so makes them feel like we're losing a step. β
"Is that all there is to it?"
"No, we're going to wait. β
"Wait?"
"It's not about the banquet, it's about the people who attend. β
Chu Liuyue glanced at the sky.
"There's still an hour and a half before you set the time, and let's see, who will come this time?"
