Chapter 29: A Proud Birthday Banquet
A few days later, it was finally the day of Ye Gu's birthday banquet.
Early in the morning, Ye Lingyue changed into a pale blue silk dress with orchids of the same color embroidered onto the skirt. Her long black hair was also braided into a Wishing bun, and that made her look energetic, bright, pretty, and playful.
Under Ye Lingyue's insistence, Ye Fengyu agreed to attend the birthday banquet, so she did her best to dress up and put on some makeup.
When Ye Fengyu was done, Ye Lingyue's eyes widened until they were perfectly round.
From her point of view, ever since her mother drank the Hundred Fruits Wine, her complexion had improved greatly. The way she dressed up that day made her skin look even fairer. She looked like a pretty Empty-Valley orchid.
Staring at the mother and daughter, Aunt Liu sobbed happy tears. Ever since Little Miss became clever, Young Miss started to smile more, too.
Thank the Gods for not abandoning this pair of pitiful mother and daughter until the end.
Ye Lingyue held her mother's hand with Squeaky in tow as they arrived at the main hall to greet the birthday celebrant.
Because it was the Master's birthday, they decorated the whole Ye family manor with the word 'Longevity.' The words were even made from gold foil. Swaying with the wind, lanterns hung from everywhere, and in the backyard, where Pine trees and Cyprus trees stood, ninety-nine tables were set up for the happy banquet as well. Even an opera performance was set for the event, too.
The birthday celebrant, Ye Gu, looked perfectly healthy and flushed as he stood at the door in his long birthday robe. He happily welcomed all the guests in.
The moment the Ye mother and daughter appeared, the noisy backyard instantly hushed down.
