Chapter 162 The Picture is Also Romantic
Just as she was thinking this, Murong Yanhui had already taken off his outer robe and came over. His warm breath lingered around Yu Qingli's neck, making her feel numb and uncomfortable, but she couldn't move.
His big, bony hands embraced her slender waist, covering her slightly exposed shoulders just right, yet fitting her body tightly against his. To outsiders, this was simply a live pornographic scene.
Yu Qingli was about to speak, but Murong Yanhui pressed her mute point, so she could only open her eyes wide to show her anger.
His slightly calloused fingers stroked Yu Qingli's chin and moved to her delicate collarbone. Murong Yanhui's voice became a little hoarse. This scene was more like a torture to himself than a punishment for Yu Qingli.
"Lili, next time, you have to perform well!"
Yu Qingli didn't understand what was going on, but the door of the hall was opened at this moment. A man who looked like a eunuch came in with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After seeing the scene, his face turned red and he lowered his head quickly.
"Chihua greets the master!"
"No need to be polite! Chihua, your task now is to draw every scene you see for me!"
The eunuch named Chihua lowered his head in response, quickly spread out the paper and began to paint.
Yu Qingli was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. Her eyes were as cold as ice, as if she was accusing Murong Yanhui.
Murong Yanhui pressed his whole body on Yu Qingli, looking affectionate and ambiguous, with peach blossom eyes full of spring, looking like a fairy in love!
A pair of thin lips, delicate and tempting, were placed not too far from Yu Qingli's lips, like a kiss, but just a light taste like a dragonfly skimming the water.
The most hateful thing was his big hands, which were now wandering all over her body. Wherever they touched, they were her sensitive areas, making her feel as if she was being bitten by countless insects and ants. Although it was not painful, the numbness and itchiness were extremely uncomfortable.
Yu Qingli had no choice but to bite her lips and endure it secretly, but her face couldn't help but turn slightly red, and for a moment her eyes were as charming as silk and full of spring charm.
Murong Yanhui gave her an ambiguous smile, put his thin lips to her ear, and gently licked her earlobe with the tip of his nimble tongue, whispering hoarsely, "Lili, it seems that your body is much more honest than your mouth!"
A trace of resentment flashed across Yu Qingli's eyes. This damn man, after she escaped from here, she would definitely make him pay back for the humiliation she had suffered today.
However, what surprised Yu Qingli was that the crazy painter was actually like a painting maniac. Faced with this scene, except for a slight blush on his face at the beginning, he remained calm afterwards, as if what was in front of him was not such a sentimental scene, but clear water and green mountains, flowers, birds, fish and insects.
But if this awkward posture and state were to be painted, wouldn't it ruin her innocence?!
This Murong Yanhui really has ulterior motives, which is really infuriating!
Even though she was angry, unwilling, and unhappy, Yu Qingli felt like a fish on the chopping board. She was truly at the mercy of others, and could only let herself be slaughtered!
In the Golden Palace, Murong Shileng supported his head with one hand. Although he was in the court, he had no thoughts at all. The figure of the woman yesterday kept appearing in his mind like a fairy, almost keeping him awake all night. If it weren't for the assassin who ruined his plan yesterday, why would he be so worried?
After being an emperor for so many years, he has never been so worried about a woman.
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Dong Tang recently sent a letter stating that they have sent an envoy to meet you. They were supposed to arrive before the birthday banquet, but the recent heavy rain has delayed their journey and they will arrive around the day after tomorrow."
"Ok!"
Murong Shiling responded absentmindedly, but it seemed that he had not heard clearly what the Minister of Rites was reporting.
Yu Zhengsha also noticed that something was wrong with Murong Shileng and couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"
Murong Shiling looked up and saw Yu Zhengsha's righteous eyes. He quickly came back to his senses and said, "Oh, nothing. Where were you talking about, my dear ministers?"
"Your Majesty, we are discussing the audience with the Eastern Tang envoy the day after tomorrow. I heard that the one coming this time is the Eastern Tang Crown Prince..."
Murong Shiling waved his hand and said impatiently, "In that case, let the Crown Prince handle this matter. The Crown Prince is calm and steady, so he should be able to handle it."
The Minister of Rites clearly disagreed. "Your Majesty, while it's appropriate to hand this matter over to the Crown Prince, it's also somewhat inappropriate. The Crown Prince is calm and aloof, and while he's adept at handling ordinary matters, receiving guests is not his forte."
Crown Prince Murong Cheng said nothing. He admitted that what the Minister of Rites said was true. Everyone in the court knew it. The crown prince was taciturn and often spoke bluntly and offended people. It was indeed inappropriate for him to receive the envoy from Eastern Tang.
Murong Shiling frowned and glanced at the silent prince. The previous birthday banquet made him very satisfied with his son who had always been taciturn. However, what the Minister of Rites said did make some sense. The diplomatic relations between the two countries required smooth communication, but this prince was a man who didn't like to talk.
"So, do you have any suitable candidates?"
"I believe it is most appropriate to have the First Prince go. He is gentle and refined, and his interpersonal skills are exquisite. I believe he will be able to handle the foreign prince with ease."
"I don't think it's appropriate!" Yu Zhengsha spoke at this time, looking at the Minister of Rites with sharp eyes. He didn't know when the Minister of Rites had sided with the eldest prince?
"What do you think is wrong, Prime Minister?" asked the Minister of Rites, Lord Liu. Although it seemed like he was asking, he actually sounded a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's inappropriate. Diplomatic relations between these two countries emphasize appropriate status. If the envoy from Dong Tang was an ordinary prince, it would be understandable to let the eldest prince come out to greet him. But now Dong Tang has sent their crown prince. If we only send a prince to receive him, it may not seem that Canghe is disrespectful to him. If Dong Tang uses this as a topic of discussion, it will only worsen the relationship between the two countries!"
Yu Zhengsha's words were well-reasoned and left Lord Liu speechless!
Murong Feng, who had been standing in front of the hall without saying a word, had a flicker of displeasure and anger in his eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and a warm smile spread across his lips. "Father, I think Prime Minister Yu is absolutely right. I also think it would be rude to leave this matter to me alone."
Murong Shiling felt increasingly annoyed and immediately said, "It's just an errand to receive the Crown Prince of Dong Tang, but it's so troublesome. How about this? The Crown Prince will be primarily responsible for the reception, and the First Prince will assist and give some advice when necessary."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The problem was finally solved. Murong Shiling glanced around and asked impatiently, "Is there anything else?"
Lord Liu from the Ministry of Rites was about to speak when he saw Murong Feng winking at him calmly, signaling him not to speak now. He didn't know whether it was because his father was upset by the assassin's incident yesterday, or because of other things that made him dissatisfied. In short, Murong Feng could see that Murong Shiling was very impatient at this moment.
If I offend His Majesty at this time, I will be dismissed from office at best, and lose my life at worst.
Lord Liu understood immediately after receiving the hint, but he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. It was true that at this moment, it really seemed inappropriate to continue to make His Majesty angry. I heard that there was an assassin in the palace yesterday, and His Majesty must be worried about this matter.
How could they know that at this moment, Murong Shileng's heart and eyes were filled with the beauty with whom he had never had the chance to enjoy himself. Whenever he thought of that woman, Murong Shileng couldn't help but feel his blood boiling and his whole body on fire.
"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to offer?"
Seeing Murong Shiling in this state, who would dare to move forward without caring about their lives? They all fell silent immediately.
Murong Shiling's expression finally improved upon seeing this, and he immediately ordered, "Since that's the case, we'll stop here today and adjourn the court!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Shiling ran towards the harem in a hurry, his expression as anxious as if there was a fire in the backyard. Only a few officials guessed that His Majesty was in such a hurry probably because he was anxious to see the dancer from yesterday. While criticizing him, they also felt a bit envious. With such a beautiful girl in his arms, no one would have the heart to continue attending court, right?
Besides, who made him the emperor of a country?
All the ministers left the Golden Palace one after another. Murong Feng deliberately slowed down his pace and walked with Yu Zhengsha. Yu Zhengsha's words in the palace just now had clearly made his position clear. He seemed to be on the side of the prince.
Murong Feng was filled with resentment towards his future father-in-law, but he had a gentle and comfortable smile on his face. Yu Zhengsha didn't want to offend him either. This was the only way to go to the court, so he couldn't just let him go, right?
So he pretended not to see Murong Feng and hurried out of the palace.
"Prime Minister Yu, please stay!"
Murong Feng, however, acted as if he didn't notice Yu Zhengsha's serious expression. He approached with a smile on his face, and it was hard to tell whether there was a hint of flattery in his tone.
Yu Zhengsha could only stop in his tracks upon hearing this. "What are your orders, Grand Prince?"
"It's not really an order. Why didn't the Prime Minister bring Miss Yu with him when he came to the capital this time?"
Yu Zhengsha's eyes grew increasingly cold, but he simply stared at Murong Feng without saying a word. "This seems to be a family matter of mine. Is there any need to report it to the eldest prince?"
"Prime Minister, please don't be angry. I have no other intentions. I just feel a little sorry. The young lady is incredibly talented. If she had been able to perform for my father at the birthday banquet yesterday, she would definitely..."
Yu Zhengsha, however, became furious, as if something had been touched against his will, and even his tone became a little harsh. "Your Highness, please be careful with your words and actions. After all, I am the daughter of the Prime Minister. How can I be compared with those singing girls and dancers?!"
After saying that, he turned away!
Murong Feng sneered as he watched his departing back. "Yu Zhengsha, the more you look down on me, the more I want to marry your daughter. I wonder what expression you will have when you know that you are about to become my father-in-law. It really makes me look forward to it!"
With a sarcastic smile on his lips, Murong Feng also walked towards the harem. Today was the day to have a good discussion with his mother about the arranged marriage.
