Chapter 987: Ningguang's Great Victory
……
The subsequent banquet was extremely lively.
People were enjoying delicious food or appreciating the wonderful performances on the stage, feeling very happy.
Apart from Shao Yun's table of dishes, the rest were still cooked by the chefs from Xinyuexuan and Liuliting.
After Xiangling finished cooking a table full of dishes, Ying directly invited her to sit down and join them!
Hu Tao was also shameless and pulled Zhongli over.
As for Chongyun? He also came at Shen He's invitation.
The people at this table are all good friends of Shao Yun’s family in Liyue.
Ningguang put a lot of effort into this hundred-day banquet. Not only was she creative in choosing the dishes, she also specially invited Yunjin's Yunhan Society to perform.
The popular actress "Yun Jin" lived up to expectations and presented various famous dramas of Yunhan Society one by one, which feasted the eyes of the guests present.
Ningguang herself stood beside Shao Yun's family, accompanying them enthusiastically.
Simple people like Hu Tao and Xiang Ling just thought that Ningguang was being hospitable. After all, she said that she was using the Hundred Days Banquet to thank Shao Yun and Ying.
But to some other astute people, the message Ningguang conveyed was obvious.
The general meaning is, you all just have to accept your fate and don’t even think about challenging me, because I have someone to back me up!
If anyone is so foolish as to want to challenge me, come on!
Despite this, on the surface, the hundred-day banquet for Shao Yun's daughter was generally very successful.
The guests had a great time with fine wine, delicious food and wonderful performances.
……
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet gradually came to an end as the Yunhan Society's opera performance came to an end.
The guests either stood up and left contentedly, or continued to chat with the people around them.
After the banquet, most of the guests left, leaving only a few merchants. In order to please Ningguang, they stayed and prepared to apologize to her after the banquet.
The rest of the people left in groups of three or four, and the scene gradually returned to calm.
Ningguang smiled gracefully and bowed slightly to Shao Yun, who was sitting in the main seat. She asked softly, "Mr. Shao Yun, how do you feel about the 'Hundred Days Banquet' I'm hosting for your daughter tonight?"
Before Shao Yun could answer, Paimeng patted his round belly and said contentedly:
"Satisfied, very satisfied! I'm so full, I feel like I can't even fly!"
After saying that, she burped, causing everyone to laugh.
Shao Yun looked at the adorable Paimeng and couldn't help but smile. He then turned to Ningguang and said, "Well, it's really good. Paimeng is enjoying his meal."
As long as Paimeng is happy, Shao Yun, Ying, Shen He and Kong will naturally have no objections.
After all, the main purpose of this banquet is to have fun and make everyone happy.
Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shao Yun's family was quite satisfied with tonight's hundred-day banquet.
However, she did not give up. Instead, she struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade him to stay, saying, "I'm so glad you're satisfied. It's getting so late. Why don't you and your family stay at the Qun Yu Pavilion tonight?"
When Shao Yun heard that he had to stay overnight at Qun Yu Pavilion, his eyes instantly froze and revealed a hint of displeasure.
He thought to himself: Could it be that Ningguang still has evil intentions towards me?
Ningguang observed the subtle changes on his face, bent her knees slightly, and saluted. At the same time, she said in a humble tone, "Please rest assured, if Ningguang really makes a mistake again, you have every right to kill me."
Shao Yun's gaze shifted from Ningguang to his daughter, who was already drowsy in Ying's arms.
No matter what, my daughter is still a three-month-old baby and can't stand any more trouble.
It would be more comfortable to rest in the Qun Yu Pavilion for a night.
Moreover, with Ningguang's courage, she would not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
Shao Yun thought about it for a while and finally nodded, indicating that he agreed with Ningguang's proposal and decided to stay in Qun Yu Pavilion tonight.
After seeing Shao Yun's agreement, Ningguang ordered her secretary "Bai Wen" to prepare three rooms for Shao Yun's family.
Paimon, Shenhe and Kong didn't have any particular requirements for where to stay; after all, as long as they had a place to sleep, it would be fine.
For Ying, living in Qun Yu Pavilion still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But considering that after eating, my eyelids were already fighting each other and I was yawning from time to time.
In addition, she had the same idea as Shao Yun and really didn't want to bother the child in her arms anymore, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.
……
After Ningguang's careful arrangement, Shen He and Ying's daughter "Xi", and Paimeng were arranged to live in the same room.
This is to make it easier to take care of the baby and to prevent Paimon from disturbing Shao Yun and Ying's world of two.
Shao Yun and Ying live in the same room, which is convenient for Ningguang's next attempt to please them.
As for Kong, he was left alone in the empty room.
……
Haha, my brother-in-law who no one cares about.
……
While her secretary "Bai Wen" was settling Shao Yun's family, Ningguang privately received those businessmen who stayed after the banquet to please her.
Now seeing that Ningguang was willing to see him, he immediately understood that what Ningguang meant was that there was still time, and it depended on how the others performed.
In order to win Ningguang's favor, these businessmen tried their best.
As soon as they stepped into the hall of the Qun Yu Pavilion, they all bowed without hesitation and crawled in front of Ningguang like humble subjects paying homage to the queen.
Their foreheads were almost touching the cold ground, as if this could express their awe of Ningguang.
Ningguang sat behind the desk, like a queen high above everyone else.
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, making a crisp sound that was particularly eye-catching in the quiet hall.
Her eyes looked down at the trembling backs.
Looking at these guys who were wagging their tails and begging for food, a very slight curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
This smile contained a hint of sarcasm, yet also seemed to contain some kind of indescribable satisfaction.
Look, these are the people who usually order the laborers around at the docks.
And those people who used to haggle over every penny in the shops now even breathe cautiously, fearing that the slightest noise they make would disturb Ningguang's interest.
Before Ningguang could speak, the merchants impatiently took out the paper and pens they had prepared in advance.
Like loyal servants, they prostrated themselves on the ground and wrote a transfer agreement, handing over the minced meat they had picked up and some of their valuable properties.
When the merchants wrote about mines, weaving workshops, and prosperous shops on the street, every stroke was like cutting their own flesh.
These transfer letters are their gifts to Ningguang, representing their submission and flattery to Ningguang.
Ningguang's heart was filled with pride and satisfaction, as if she had become the master of this world.
She looked down at the businessmen from above, like a true queen, enjoying their worship and flattery to the fullest.
Ningguang was intoxicated by the feeling of being in control of everything. She felt that the taste of power was like the most delicious rice wine in Liyue Harbor. It was mellow and sweet at first, but the aftertaste was like a raging fire that made her blood burn.
However, Ningguang also knows the rules of the game of power.
As the saying goes, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps. Although she can bring Liyue Harbor into her own pocket, she still has to be loyal to the source of her power.
Ningguang was about to serve Shao Yun like a humble slave. She took off her gorgeous clothes, put away all her edge, and knelt at Shao Yun's feet like the most humble maid.
She could imagine the sound of herself kneeling down, enough to crush all her pride.
But, so what? Ningguang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a silent smile.
This smile contained both the arrogance of a queen and the clarity of a slave.
She knew she had willingly placed the chains around her wrists, the price she had to pay for her power.
She was ready to face it all.
