Chapter Twenty-Four: A Thousand Years at a Glance (Part II)

Chen Xiaotian thought in his heart, so he looked at Qinmei with a smile on his face, and asked, "Miss Qinmei, what do you think of that courtyard?"

Qin Mei held the wine cup in her hand, and her thumb unconsciously rubbed the edge of the wine cup. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info stared at the fruit plate on the small table in a daze. She was reminiscing about what Haotian had told her about three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago, if the villagers hadn't gone to find the mage, what would she have done now? If she hadn't been led away by those mages, what would have happened? If she had been a little stronger and had defeated those mages on the spot, would that man not have died at that time? What if......

A lot of things flashed through her mind. If she hadn't followed that man into samsara, what would she be like today? Shook his head slightly, what if? Where did so many ifs come from in this world?

"Miss Qinmei is not satisfied with my arrangement?" Seeing Qinmei shaking his head, King Qi was a little angry. He is the king of a country, and he gave her the courtyard of the palace maid, but she still doesn't appreciate it! He raised his sword eyebrows slightly, looked at Qin Mei with displeasure, and his voice was a little louder than before.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked towards Qin Mei in unison.

Qin Mei felt that the atmosphere on the field suddenly cooled down, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look forward, only to find that everyone was looking at her, she panicked, and her hands shook slightly, causing ripples in the glass.

"Miss Qinmei is not satisfied with my arrangement?" King Qi saw that Qinmei was still sitting in his position and was indifferent, his anger rose, and he "snapped" the chopsticks in his hand and slapped them on the desk in front of him.

Qin Mei was startled, and then she realized what had happened. As if she was about to throw away the hot potato, she hurriedly put the wine cup that she was playing with between her fingers on the table, and didn't care about wanting to say anything, she hurriedly pulled the hem of her skirt, got up and bypassed the table, and knelt down in a panic.

……

Murong Linshuang secretly glanced at the angry King of Qi, and then looked at Qin Mei who was lying on the ground, and couldn't help but smile in her heart. "Aren't you arrogant? Isn't everything going well? What's wrong with today, the first time you saw the king of Qi, you angered the king of Qi? You are quite capable. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and there was a look of disdain in her eyes.

Yan Bing looked at the Fu Bing and Caiyun around her, a little frightened. I don't know what's wrong with Qin Mei, how could she, who is generous and steady on weekdays, make a mistake that even she won't make, if she angers King Qi, the future will not be very easy.

Yun Cai frowned, glanced at Yan Bing, and then at Murong Linshuang not far away. sighed in my heart, no matter what time it is, there are always people who gloat. As everyone knows, if King Qi wants to condemn Qin Mei, they won't be able to escape as soon as they do the dancing girls?

Feng Ying was a little surprised in her heart. Qin Mei actually had a problem at this juncture. But he immediately regained his composure, his eyes and nose and nose and heart sat upright, calmly watching the development of the situation.

"Ah...... Qin Mei didn't dare!" until she fell to the ground, Qin Mei reacted because she was distracted before and didn't hear King Qi's words. There has to be a reason to prevaricate.

"Don't dare?" King Qi raised his eyebrows, leaned forward, supported his chin with his left hand, propped himself on the desk, and looked at the girl lying on the ground in front of him with playful eyes.

"I see how dare you!" King Qi mocked. Watching the beauty tremble in shock, this is one of his few interests.

"Qinmei...... I'm just worried," Qin Mei raised her head a little and replied softly.

"Worried?" King Qi's raised eyebrows were suppressed, and he changed his hand to support his chin, squinting his eyes, and carefully looking at Qin Mei. At this time, he was not so frightened that he was trembling? Can he still tell himself the reason so calmly, find a reason? How long has it been since he has seen such a beauty? The corner of his mouth pulled out a playful smile, and he was looking forward to what the orchid in front of him could say to him. He had been trying to see what Qin Mei's eyebrows looked like. It's a pity that she keeps her head down. All he could see was the hairpin on her head that was made of something he didn't know. Previously, he had always thought that the white hairpin, which looked like a hosta bud, was all kinds of beautiful. But now, he suddenly felt that it was an eyesore, and for some reason, he felt a strong urge to pull it out.

Qin Mei settled down, bowed again, and then stood up, Dai Mei lowered her eyebrows and said: "Qin Mei is just a little worried, Your Majesty's wine...... It's delicious, but it's ...... If you drink too much, you will get drunk. At this point, his tone became brisk, with a soft smile in his tone, and then he said, "I can't drink anymore......"

This brisk tone and slightly self-deprecating words instantly eased the atmosphere in the entire hall. Hearing the chuckles around her, Qin Mei relaxed a little. Don't care what King Qi says, but at least he won't be as angry as he was just now, perhaps, he can escape with this reason.

Hearing the chuckle of the ministers, King Qi breathed a sigh of relief. But he immediately wondered, why did he feel "relieved"? She looked at the girl kneeling in the hall, and perhaps he did not think of condemning her. Moreover, her explanation seemed to work well, at least all of His Highness's ministers accepted it.

"Hmm......" King Qi thought for a while, then laughed and said, "Haha, it's a good 'drunk if you drink again'." Miss Qinmei is really a person who knows how to advance and retreat. Come on!" King Qi swept away the previous gloom, smiled and called the maid, "Remove the wine for Miss Qinmei and exchange it for fruit syrup!"

It was only then that Qin Mei really put her heart back in her stomach. She bowed again, thanked King Qi, and planned to stand up and return to her seat.

So far, Qinmei is still a little confused. From the first step into this temple, I was in a trance until now. I knelt in a hurry just now, and my knees hurt. At this time, I was about to stand up, but I found that my feet were a little weak, and I always felt that the ground was soft. Qin Mei struggled to prop herself up, and was about to stand up, when she ran into the maid behind her who was helping her change the fruit pulp. The hairpin on her head touched the wooden tray with the empty wine cup in the maid's hand. With a "bang", the hairpin hit the bottom of the tray.

The maid's eyes widened in horror, and she didn't know what to do, so she turned around and gave way to the side with the tray. But...... It's too late......

I could only watch the thin eaves under the tray hang on the hairpin on Qin Mei's head, and then the hairpin that looked noble and elegant and high-end, if it fell to the ground and broke, he couldn't afford to lose it after selling it ten times or eight times, so it flew straight out from Qin Mei's bun to the diagonal back......
