Chapter 455: The Banquet (3)
Chang Ziqi also lowered her eyes and secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
This ugly-faced prince is really nosy. When the third prince succeeds, the first person he will kill will be him!
Gu Qinghuai was feeling happy when he saw the Third Prince and Chang Ziqi being humiliated, but suddenly he felt two cold lights falling on his face.
She glanced at the crowd and immediately noticed that the two beams of light came from Yan Yudie.
Yan Yudie was staring at her coldly, with jealousy and hatred in her eyes.
Gu Qinghuai: ???
If I remember correctly, this was the first time she met Yan Yudie. She hadn't offended her before, right?
Is it true that some people are disliked even without saying a word when meeting someone for the first time?
Then it’s not her problem, it’s Yan Yudie’s own problem.
Gu Qinghuai withdrew his gaze.
Prince Yi pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at the third prince with sarcasm: "Okay, Yu'er, you need to be careful with your words and actions in the future, don't let your brother down."
The third prince concealed the coldness in his eyes and said respectfully: "Uncle, you are right."
Prince Yi turned his gaze to the guests and raised his voice, "You all remember this! Princess Qinghe cured my face and is my benefactor. If anyone deliberately makes things difficult for her again, they will shit on my head! Guess how I will retaliate?"
"What? The little uncle's face has been cured?" The third prince's face showed surprise and his eyes were full of concern, but how much of that concern was true and how much was false, only he himself knew.
The guests were also surprised, their eyes fell on Prince Yi's mask, and they secretly wondered what kind of face would be behind the mask.
When Prince Yi saw that everyone was looking at him, he curled the corners of his lips proudly, raised his hand and slowly took off the mask on his face, ready to astound everyone with his beauty.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
He wanted to prove to the whole world that he, Qi Jingyi, was an extremely handsome man!
This banquet was the coming-of-age party for the granddaughter of Duke of Liang. In terms of seniority and status, there was no need for him to come, but he came anyway, because he wanted to show off his beauty in front of everyone and regain the dignity that he had lost for many years!
Let those who once laughed at his ugly face be pissed off to death!
When everyone saw Prince Yi's face, they all widened their eyes in shock, with a look of disbelief.
Older people have seen Prince Yi's face before he was disfigured at the age of fifteen. At this moment, his face is no different from before!
Those who were younger had never seen Prince Yi's face before. Now, looking at that face with clear contours, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, they were all amazed.
Gu Qinghuai's eyes inadvertently swept across the onlookers and he unexpectedly discovered that Yan Yudie was staring at Prince Yi with two shy blushes on her face.
Judging from the looks of it, Yan Yudie is not just a temporary infatuation. Could it be that she has been in love with Prince Yi for a long time?
However, it was rumored that Prince Yi had an ugly face, which could stop his children from crying at night. How could a lady from a famous family like Yan Yudie like the disfigured Prince Yi, considering his family background and his face?
Gu Qinghuai recalled what Prince Yi looked like wearing a mask.
The silver mask on her face revealed eyes as bright as stars, a graceful and sexy jawline, a slender neck, and a prominent Adam's apple. Coupled with her tall and straight figure, and the expensive and gorgeous clothes made of brocade and silk, she was indeed very attractive in terms of temperament.
No wonder Yan Yudie was hostile to her, because Prince Yi just defended her and said that he could not guarantee that he would not have an affair with her in the future.
However, Gu Qinghuai didn't care how Yan Yudie treated her. Incompetent people would always blame others for their mistakes and look for imaginary enemies for themselves.
What she was worried about was that Yan Yudie, who had such low-level cognition and narrow-mindedness, would not be kind to Qi Leyang, whose family had fallen from power.
Gu Qinghuai was a little worried about Qi Leyang.
I have to find a way to see her.
Prince Yi glanced at everyone who was amazed by him, and threw the mask to Sihe behind him with great enthusiasm, "Take it, I won't need it in the future."
Sihe carefully put away the silver mask.
This is made entirely of silver, and even if it is melted it will only be worth one dime.
"Congratulations, little uncle, your appearance has been restored!" The third prince bowed to Prince Yi with a perfect smile on his face.
Prince Yi smiled and said, "Thanks to the Princess of Qinghe County. If it weren't for her, I might have to wear a mask for the rest of my life!"
"I never thought that Princess Qinghe's medical skills were so superb," the third prince's voice was filled with genuine surprise.
This country woman with outstanding appearance is really capable.
He had the honor of seeing the little prince's face once, and he never expected that a face as rotten as that could be cured.
Liang Yueru also praised: "The Princess of Qinghe County is simply the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. A few days ago, I heard from my aunt that the emperor was not feeling well. Cousin, can you let the Princess of Qinghe come to the palace to see the emperor?"
Humph, the emperor's illness is incurable. If Princess Qinghe accepts such a good job, she will be in trouble!
Gu Qinghuai said, "Miss Liang, you are too kind. I only know some techniques for suturing external injuries, but I don't know anything else like taking the pulse, observing symptoms, acupuncture, etc."
Prince Yi also said: "That's right, the Princess of Qinghe County is not a doctor."
The Third Prince and Liang Yueru looked at each other and said nothing more.
Then, Chang Ziqi, Liang Yueru and others also came forward to congratulate Prince Yi.
Yan Yudie pulled her half sister Yan Xixue to the side of Prince Yi and said excitedly: "Congratulations... Congratulations to Prince Yi on restoring his appearance."
Prince Yi simply nodded without even giving her a full look.
Yan Yudie pointed at herself and continued: "Prince, don't you remember me? I am Yan Yudie, the daughter of Prime Minister Yan."
Prince Yi looked at her in confusion. There was no such person in his mind at all.
Yan Yudie continued: "Three years ago, my carriage was frightened and you helped to rein in the horse and saved my life."
"Oh," Prince Yi nodded calmly, "So? What do you want to do?"
"I--" Yan Yudie didn't know how to answer the question. She could only blush and congratulate him on his restored appearance again.
Except for the love-crazy Yan Yudie, the wives with daughters began to weigh in their hearts whether Prince Yi was suitable to be a son-in-law.
Prince Yi had no idea what other people were thinking. He looked at Gu Qinghuai frequently, his starry eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
Soon the banquet began.
The elders of the Liang family led Prince Yi to the VIP seat.
Maids and servants entered the banquet hall carrying delicacies, fine wine and fruit plates.
The female guests at the table where Gu Qinghuai and Liu Qiushi were sitting gathered together, deliberately keeping a distance from the two of them, and the implication of exclusion was obvious.
Gu Qinghuai and Liu Qiushi didn't care and they both ate seriously.
After dinner, Liang Yueru allowed the guests to play freely in the yard.
There was a stage in the yard, as well as a place for poetry gatherings, a garden for viewing, and games such as tossing pots and kicking balls.
Gu Qinghuai did not go to find Yan Yudie, but Yan Yudie took the initiative to come to her.
