The Empress' Scandalous Paramour (5 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 20
Champagne cascaded throughout the banquet hall, suffusing the air with a rich honeyed fragrance.
An expensive aqueduct, crafted from mother-of-pearl tiles, encircled the entire hall along the walls, built at a height allowing guests to dip their glasses directly into it while standing.
Over this aqueduct hung vines heavy with ripe grapes, enhancing its natural charm, while beneath the waterfalls floated plump apples and peaches, delighting the eyes.
But that was not all.
Except for the dance floor, every corner displayed fruit-based artworks, accompanied by nearby round, pure-white tables designed for guests to lean against while standing.
Moreover, around ten additional chandeliers had been installed and all were brightly lit, making the banquet hall brilliantly radiant and dazzling.
Truly, an earthly paradise.
The nobles attending the banquet were left speechless by the sheer opulence screaming, “This is what a banquet hall made of immense wealth looks like.”
“Was Her Imperial Majesty truly this skilled at hosting banquets?”
“Wow. We needn’t have worried whether she could pull it off.”
“Of course—she’s of a different lineage, after all.”
The noblewomen were already overwhelmed by the glow alone from the crystal chandeliers.
The Empress’s banquet boasted a splendor absent from the banquets prepared by the Saintess.
And this wasn’t merely about piling up expensive items.
The fusion of capital with the talents of the finest artists, architects, and the skilled handmaidens of the Empress’s palace transformed the entire space into a singular work of art.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
