Chapter 844: 844 No One Dared to Be Impudent
Can’t even flirt with men, what’s the use of keeping such a worthless person!
Ye Wenyu, dumbfounded, returned to his place.
Facing a crowd of colleagues and comrades congratulating him, Ye Wenyu only wanted to say, you can take her if you want, but alas, the old Emperor gifted her, he didn’t dare give her away as he pleased.
Even earlier, if it hadn’t been a matter of life and death, he wouldn’t have dared speak up casually. He originally intended to try, not expecting to actually save her, and then the old Emperor gave her to him.
Isn’t this a nightmare!
How can he go home like this?
If he goes back saying he wants to marry a dancing girl, his grandparents would probably beat him to death; as for taking a concubine, Ye Wenyu never even considered it.
Only Old Ye of the Ye Family was confused about marrying a wife back then, resulting in Li already dying in prison, and Li’s children suffering as well. Although his grandmother is living well now, he has heard about the hardships she endured in her youth.
Ye Wenyu didn’t want to turn his household into a mess!
Unfortunately, no one cared about his inner thoughts. Instead, they envied him one by one, not only for receiving an official title and staying in the capital city but also for winning a beauty on this trip.
After the dancing girl incident, a close attendant beside the old Emperor boldly spoke up, "Emperor, I heard the Empress is hosting a banquet for noble ladies in the harem today. From my perspective, many of the warriors being honored today are still bachelors. Why not invite the noble ladies to display their talents as well? Perhaps some matches can be made, and we could form a few couples today!"
The old Emperor evidently was very pleased with this suggestion, saying, "You have a point, let’s do it."
Saying this, the old Emperor instructed the eunuch behind him, "Go invite the Empress..."
Soon, a large group of noble ladies poured in, among them many Ye Jiu knew, making today’s banquet truly interesting!
The noble ladies attending today were clearly deliberately arranged, with most being concubines’ daughters, only a handful of legitimate daughters, who were notably famous in the capital city.
It can be imagined that these concubines’ daughters were surely prepared for the warriors being honored today, while the few legitimate daughters were certainly not suitable for these newly rising young officers, so...
Ye Jiu’s gaze became increasingly tense.
These few were definitely prepared for Sikong Mo.
Once everyone greeted and took their seats, soon, noble ladies began to perform singing and dancing, with a variety of talents that dazzled the eye.
However, among these performers, Sikong Mo was not included.
Just an unintentional glance, Sikong Mo found Ye Jiu staring at him, with an expression that was full of teeth-gritting hatred!
Looking at the ongoing performance, Sikong Mo was puzzled.
Why is this girl showing such an expression? Could it be because I failed in my proposal?
Thinking this, Sikong Mo’s smile grew even more radiant.
On the other side, the noble ladies’ eyes flashed, as if bewitched.
Looking at those officials and warriors who were mesmerized by the singing and dancing, how could they compare to the power and peerless charm of the War King, therefore, the subsequent performances became increasingly vigorous.
It’s just that, despite being in the harem earlier, they had heard about the dancing girl matter, so no matter how hard they performed, none dared to be impudent towards Sikong Mo.
