Quick Wear: The Boss Cultivates Ruthlessness

Chapter 464 The Miracle Doctor Treats All Kinds of Dissatisfaction 17

Lin Qian frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Yu Jingtang's behavior.

"Yu Jingtang, you have learned to eavesdrop on other people's conversations? You really don't know etiquette. Don't you know not to listen to what is not proper?"

Yu Jingtang refused to accept.

"This place is not yours. I just happened to pass by here and happened to hear it. You are the one who is indiscriminate."

Yu Jingtang was a little annoyed. She was worried that Miss Lin would jump into the lake, so she came to check on her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qian blamed her for eavesdropping.

Yunyan was afraid that the two would start arguing again, so she hurried out to smooth things over.

"Sister Lin, Sister Yu. You two are both famous talented ladies in the capital. Why bother arguing over who is better?"

"Since the three of us are going to form an alliance, we should unite against the same enemy. I believe your abilities will definitely be demonstrated in future competitions."

Yunyan's words "talented woman" made both of them very happy.

Yu Jingtang stopped being upset. She sat down and asked, "Hey, so how are you going to deal with Nangong Jing? Don't tell me that your goal in this life is just to take revenge on him."

"If that's the case, then I won't join. Why bother with a man? I might as well join the army secretly with my brother instead of this."

Yunyan was right. This Yu Jingtang was indeed even wilder than Lin Qian. She had even thought of secretly joining the army.

Yunyan shook her head.

"Who said my only goal is to take revenge on Nangong Jing? He is just a part of my plan. After all, I am a person with special skills, so I must care about the world."

Yun Jingtang raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't realize you were so ambitious, but don't just talk the talk and not do the work - you're just pretending."

Yunyan snorted coldly: "Have you heard of the Great Zhou? That era is fascinating."

Yu Jingtang couldn't sit still all of a sudden. She often secretly read some banned books about the Great Zhou.

She was the first female emperor in history, but the few records about her in history books completely overshadowed her efforts.

Lin Qian had never read the banned book, but she had heard of the empress. However, most people nowadays only sing praises of men's deeds.

Yunyan spoke in a mysterious tone.

"You may doubt my ability, but I am not fighting alone. I have a huge army behind me!"

Yunyan spoke so confidently that a light ignited in Yu Jingtang's eyes.

"Okay, then I'll join you. I'm so good that I'm sure I won't be worse than you."

She glanced at Lin Qian with a disdainful tone.

"Lin Qian, if you are scared, you can quit now and go back to be Miss Lin and wait to get married."

Lin Qian frowned. She just didn't say anything. How dare Yu Jingtang look down on her like that?

"Are you dreaming? I, Lin Qian, am no worse than you. Just wait and see. If you are not as successful as me, you will be laughed at."

"Humph!"

The two of them turned their heads away and ignored each other, and started to compete again.

Yunyan had no choice but to accept this as it was fine.

The three men reached an alliance and soon returned to Huaqing Pool.

Night falls and the dinner is about to begin.

Most of those who arrived early during the day were young men and women from aristocratic families, and now many old ministers and noble ladies in the court have arrived.

The banquet at night was obviously much more rigorous than the one during the day, and there were more guards, palace maids and eunuchs around.

Yunyan calmly noted down the positions of the guards one by one, silently calculating in her mind where she could break through.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Queen has arrived!"

The eunuch's sharp voice brought Yunyan back to her senses.

What caught my eye was a bright yellow figure, and beside him followed a noble lady in bright red palace dress.

Everyone present bowed and knelt, and no one dared to look up.

When a hoarse and old voice asked everyone to stand up, Yunyan secretly got a clear look at the old emperor's appearance.

His temples were gray, his skin was loose and wrinkled, he was indeed an old man.

But the queen beside her looked much younger, and was 60% similar to Princess Rouping. It was obvious that she was also a great beauty when she was young.

The emperor is the emperor after all, and he carries an aura of authority that is intimidating without even getting angry.

"Today is New Year's Eve, so everyone should be casual and just treat it as an ordinary family dinner."

During the banquet, people began to toast each other and everyone worked with a fake professional smile.

Yunyan sat in the back row and secretly showed off the pork elbow, which Princess Rouping secretly asked someone to bring to her table.

It smells so good! The old emperor really knows how to enjoy it. The pork elbow is stewed until it is soft and tasty.

The only one who could be so relaxed was Yunyan. As the eldest son, the eldest prince stood up and saluted the old emperor.

"Father, today is also your birthday. I have specially found a birthday gift to make you smile."

The old emperor forced a smile on his face.

"Jing'er is thoughtful. If so, let me see the gift Jing'er prepared for me."

Nangong Jing clapped his hands, and a eunuch brought up a table covered with a red cloth.

The items on the table were about one meter high, and everyone was curious about what gifts were under the red cloth?

The old emperor was also very considerate and watched intently.

Nangong Jing came to the table and reached out to uncover the red cloth.

Everyone's eyes lit up, really lit up, because on the table was a red coral sparkling with golden light.

Yunyan stopped eating and complained in her heart.

Isn't this the Qiongzhou coral that my fourth uncle gave to Huanhuan? Why is it showing up?

The old emperor's eyes lit up. The coral was big and beautiful, and really pleasing to the eye.

The smile on his face seemed more sincere.

"Jing'er is thoughtful. I like this birthday gift very much."

The second prince certainly would not let the eldest prince take the spotlight alone, so he also took the opportunity to speak up.

"Father, I feel a little ashamed of my elder brother's gift. I also have a gift for you."

The old emperor was obviously in a good mood now, and he spoke very politely.

"Oh? What gift did Heng'er prepare for me? Your mother and I are looking forward to it. Bring it up quickly and let us see it."

The second prince, Nangong Heng, smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and another eunuch came carrying a table.

Being ignored, Nangong Jing could only step aside.

The old emperor even specially called the second prince Nangong Heng's mother, Concubine Hui, to his side to watch together.

The queen's face was expressionless and no emotion could be seen.

She had long been accustomed to the old emperor's favor towards Concubine Hui, and now she only had expectations for her child, Nangong Yunrui.

Yunyan saw another large table being carried up. This table was several times larger than the one Nangong Jing had asked people to carry up just now.

The red cloth covering it was also very large. Nangong Heng came to the table and lifted it up with force.

This time, everyone present exclaimed in surprise; even the Queen’s eyes lit up.

What I saw before me was actually a dragon carved from jade.

Nangong Jing explained, "Father, I went to the south a few months ago to look for a birthday gift for you and accidentally found a natural jade in the mountains."

"I saw that the shape of the beautiful jade was just like a real dragon, and I felt that there must be a divine will in the dark, so I asked someone to carve it into the shape of a real dragon and gave it to my father."

"May your father be blessed with as much happiness as the East Sea and as long-lived as the Southern Mountains!"
