Chapter 1000 (The Grand Show Begins)

Soon, everyone took their seats, and the banquet officially started at this moment!

Huang Fei raised his wine cup and stood up, "Prince Ye has survived a great danger, returned to Spirit City. Let us all drink to this!"

"All hail the wise Emperor and Prince's good health!"

Everyone in the palace finished their drinks, knowing tonight was no ordinary night.

After finishing this cup, Huang Fei sat down with a smile. He glanced at Ye Hua and then at Qian Yuqing.

This was the atmosphere he wanted, but it was still lacking a bit! It needed a spark to ignite Ye Hua's anger.

Soon, dancers took the stage. Such banquets were essentially gatherings of officials to have a meal, very simple.

"Oh, by the way, what were you two arguing about outside the gate just now?" Huang Fei asked casually, showing neither annoyance nor any specific emotion. He directed the question at Huang Yi and Huang Yun.

Huang Yun knew the Emperor's intentions and continued, "Father, Crown Prince believes that it was an act of 'forcibly taking someone's love interest,' and that's why Crown Prince lost composure."

Qian Yuqing couldn't fathom what to say at this point. The atmosphere was incredibly awkward, and she felt like the catalyst for it all.

Huang Fei observed Ye Hua's expression and noticed that Ye Hua seemed quite calm, which puzzled him.

"Huang Yi, was it you who said those words?" Huang Fei asked indifferently.

Huang Yi respectfully replied, "Father Emperor, your child said so."

Huang Yi's firm attitude made everyone aware that he was trying to curry favour with Ye Hua.

Huang Fei could see it too, and instead of criticising harshly, he turned to Ye Hua, "Prince Ye, do you consider this as forcibly taking someone's love interest?"

Ye Hua put down his wine cup and calmly said, "Things from a thousand years ago have already passed. Circumstances have changed."

Everyone heard this, feeling a hint of bitterness in the air.

A former wife now belonged to someone else. It was a situation any man would find difficult to accept.

Qian Yuqing didn't want to pretend anymore, but she also knew that she had to continue pretending for now; otherwise, she would only harm Ye Hua. In this situation, Qian Yuqing could still see things clearly.

"Prince Ye, do you blame this Emperor?" Huang Fei asked.

"Not at all. Your Majesty is overthinking it," Ye Hua replied.

"That's good. This Emperor only learned of Prince Ye's return today. Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have done such a thing. I offer a toast to Prince Ye." Huang Fei appeared very modest, earning the admiration of many officials.

Ye Hua had to save face, or else how would the show go on?

After drinking the wine, Huang Fei laughed, "Prince Ye, during your thousand years' absence, they have grown close. But don't worry; this Emperor will find a better match for you."

"That's appreciated, Your Majesty," Ye Hua said calmly.

Huang Fei smiled, but he felt troubled in his heart!

This wasn't what he expected. Ye Hua's attitude was too indifferent. Qian Yuqing used to be the woman you were going to marry, even if it wasn't completed, it was halfway done.

Now she's married to someone else, yet he can face it so openly without any anger!

Huang Fei had expected Ye Hua to lose his temper on the spot, providing an opportunity.

Even Huang Yi, sitting across from them, was puzzled. Wasn't Ye Hua supposed to try to win back Qian Yuqing? This was something he could help with, and in return, the Emperor could help him secure the position of the Crown Prince.

But the result was different, and it confused everyone.

Not just Huang Yi, but everyone present felt the puzzlement in the air.

However, Ye Shen, sitting below, sighed in relief. Fortunately, this wayward son didn't lose his temper; otherwise, the Ye family would have been in trouble.

Ye Yuanqing, sitting beside Ye Shen, found it hard to believe. Big brother treated his sister-in-law with no sympathy. Looking at her expression, she sometimes appeared distressed.

'Big brother, your words just now were too much. You've trampled on her heart repeatedly.'

She was pitiful; for Ye Hua, she did everything. Where could one find such a woman?

"Yuqing, pour me some wine," Huang Yun suddenly said.

Qian Yuqing, who had been sitting quietly, hadn't done anything since sitting down. Tasks like pouring wine were originally her responsibility, especially in a situation like this. If they were sitting alone, Huang Yun wouldn't have made such a request.

But with the audience watching, they had to maintain appearances!

Huang Fei heard this and felt delighted. Just provoke Ye Hua a little more, and it would be enough.

If Ye Hua got angry, it wouldn't be easy. If Ye Hua got angry, many people might die. Such anger wasn't something ordinary people could bear.

Qian Yuqing knew what Huang Yun meant. As the most beautiful woman in Spirit City and even the entire Spirit City, pouring wine for a man would showcase his power.

However, the question was whether she would pour or not!

After all, in her entire life, she had only poured wine for her father and Ye Hua.

Seeing that Qian Yuqing hesitated, Huang Yun couldn't hold back anymore. "Yuqing?"

At this point, Huang Yi said, "If Yuqing doesn't want to, let it be. Don't force others."

At this point, Huang Yi said, "If Yuqing doesn't want to, let it be. Don't force others."

Huang Fei, hearing these words, felt happy. As long as he could provoke Ye Hua, it was enough.

To everyone's surprise, Huang Fei didn't show any anger at Huang Yi's remarks, making Shan Junren feel puzzled.

Why doesn't the Emperor stop Huang Yi? Even Huang Yun was puzzled, wondering why his father didn't stop Huang Yi from saying such things.In fact, Huang Fei's thoughts were quite simple. Anything that happened to Qian Yuqing would likely provoke Ye Hua, so he didn't intervene.

However, from the perspective of others, it was different!

The Ninth Prince was the Emperor's most favoured son, and today, even the most beautiful woman was granted to him. Although everyone speculated that it was because of Ye Hua's return, regardless, the woman was now given to the Ninth Prince.

But what just happened? The Crown Prince confronted the Ninth Prince in anger, and the Emperor tacitly approved.

Did the Ninth Prince fall out of favour? Or did the Emperor allow the Crown Prince to compete with the Ninth Prince?

If that was the case, the position of the Crown Prince might not be guaranteed for the Ninth Prince.

Qian Yuqing sneakily glanced at Ye Hua and noticed that his gaze remained icy cold, causing her heartache.

However, to avoid disappointing Ye Hua, she had to summon courage.

Qian Yuqing gripped the wine jug, making everyone feel the helplessness in her actions. It was truly pitiful to become a tool in this political struggle.

Huang Yun, seeing Qian Yuqing pick up the wine jug, felt much more relieved. At least, he was given this face.

As the wine gradually filled the jug, nearly overflowing, Huang Yun reached out and held Qian Yuqing's hand.

However, in her absent-minded state, Qian Yuqing suddenly exclaimed. The wine jug slipped from her grasp, crashing onto the table. Exquisite dishes scattered around, accompanied by a jarring clinking sound.
