Getting what she wanted, a faint smile curved Mu Qingge’s lips. She raised the wine glass in front of her table and saluted from afar, her smile blossoming like a flower, as she said to everyone: "From now on, I will have to rely on you all. During the days when the Monarch is absent, we must all perform our duties well. Each heart can hold only so much; focus on your tasks. Set aside things you shouldn’t do or think about for now. Trying to juggle too many things can lead to trouble."
After speaking, she raised her hand gracefully, drinking the wine in the cup to the last drop.
’Tsk tsk~! The wine of the Demon Realm isn’t all that good!’ Mu Qingge pouted, feeling very disgruntled.
’So dashing!’
"The Princess is so dashing!"
Unbeknownst to her, her suave and generous action had tugged at the heartstrings of the Dancing Girls.
After all, they were the only ones in the hall who could clearly see Mu Qingge’s appearance. Even Gu Ye and Gu Ya, standing on her left and right, couldn’t see her from the front.
The underlying message in Mu Qingge’s words made those present ponder deeply.
They wished to retort but didn’t know how. Because, on the surface, the Princess seemed only to remind them to work diligently and stay focused.
With no other choice, they held their own wine glasses and drank their wine down.
Yet, they tasted nothing.
With a clear gaze, Mu Qingge surveyed the surroundings, a cold smile in her heart.
She had reprimanded enough. She had made her stance clear. At least for now, everyone had to keep a low profile and conduct themselves with caution. They wouldn’t dare openly covet the Demon Realm anymore.
Mu Qingge sighed inwardly, realizing the Demon Realm’s situation had temporarily stabilized.
If Si Mo returns promptly, there wouldn’t be any trouble. But if he continues to be missing and can’t be found, in a year or two, where would she find a Crown Prince for the Demon Realm? By then, she might struggle to control the situation.
It had only been two days since she entered the Demon Realm, yet all the successive tests and suppressions had been resolved by her one by one. However, her heart remained tense because she hadn’t received any news about Si Mo.
Mu Qingge’s gaze grew dim as she repeatedly asked in her heart, ’Ah Mo, where on earth did you go? Why haven’t you come back? What happened to you?’
Suddenly, feeling a pang of sorrow, Mu Qingge picked up her wine glass and silently drank the bitter brew.
When sorrow enters, it deepens the melancholy.
This Demon Realm wine, though consumed, tasted like nothing to her, her thoughts drifting elsewhere.
The banquet hall lapsed into silence.
With Mu Qingge’s overwhelming presence earlier, at this moment, whether they submitted outwardly or from the heart, everyone could only sit quietly.
After a short while, Mu Qingge pulled herself from her thoughts and noticed the unusual quietness in the banquet.
She lifted her beautiful, autumn-splendor eyes, gazed past the curtains to the faint silhouettes, and suddenly laughed, saying: "Since the fine wine and good dishes are prepared, everyone shouldn’t waste them. Eat, drink, and have fun to your heart’s content."
What the heck!
Upon hearing Mu Qingge’s words, twenty-something people nearly spat blood.
Who was it just now that said, with the Monarch missing, they shouldn’t only focus on eating and drinking but worry about the Monarch?
And now, she’s saying to eat, drink, and be merry.
Realizing herself that her words were somewhat inappropriate, Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she found a good excuse for herself. "This Princess adheres to the principle of not wasting."
"Pfft!" Ling Jiu couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
And Ji Fu, Qing Yan, and Qing Ze all had faint smiles in their eyes.
This Princess...
They liked her!
No matter how others thought at that moment, Mu Qingge raised her eyes to look at the Dancing Girls, who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and said: "Come in now, show your best dance skills so the esteemed guests can appreciate it."
Finally, it was their turn to take the stage. The Dancing Girls felt delighted in their hearts and swayed their charming waists as they entered the hall.
However, those ministers blocked by the curtains felt utterly frustrated.
’Bah! Appreciate? How to appreciate, except for blurry shadows, they couldn’t see a thing!’
Though frustrated, having experienced the sharp tongue of the Princess, the people didn’t dare say anything and could only drink their dull wine, listening to the palace music.
In the entire grand hall, only Mu Qingge, along with Gu Ya and Gu Ye, could see the dance performance of the Dancing Girls clearly.
The Dancing Girls, draped in black veils, moved gracefully, seductively and alluringly, with their delicate skin showing faintly under the veils, captivating the soul. Their hair was pinned high with gold ornaments, a sinister, blood-red petal between their brows, enhancing their captivating allure.
Mu Qingge enjoyed the Demon Realm’s songs and dances with relish, trying hard to draw out the worry she had for Si Mo.
