The emperor and Deng Xiaoxian both knew the news of the treasure map, which Qi Jingyun never thought of, in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, he could only accept the task for the time being, as for what to do later, he could only take one step at a time. Fortunately, none of them knew the whereabouts of the treasure map, so compared to them, Qi Jingyun still had an absolute advantage, but how to go to Nanzhao to get the treasure map was still a problem.

After Qi Jingyun returned to King Jin's Mansion, his mind was still in turmoil, and Qiao Mingyue knew that something must have happened again when she saw his face.

"What's the matter, did the emperor say anything again?" Qiao Mingyue handed him a cup of hot tea.

Qi Jingyun took a big sip and said, "He asked me to find out the whereabouts of the treasure map from Deng Xiaoxian." ”

Qiao Mingyue was slightly surprised, "He knows?" Now it's a bit of a problem. ”

According to the rules, the envoy arrived in the capital on the second day to enter the palace to face the saint, in order to express the importance of the envoys of the Southern Zhao, the emperor also specially prepared a banquet, the capital in the five grades and above officials can participate.

Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue were naturally also invited.

Because Qi Jingyun was in charge of the reception of the envoys, he had to enter the palace in advance to arrange some affairs, so Qiao Mingyue could only enter the palace alone. Unexpectedly, at the gate of the palace, I saw an old acquaintance.

"Isn't this Princess Jin? Why are you the only one? His Royal Highness King Jin didn't accompany you, won't ...... It's a fall from grace, right? "The person who came was wearing a lotus blue palace dress, with a string of red coral beads hanging around his neck, and a forehead wipe, and a piece of turquoise inlaid in the center of the forehead, shining in the sun, very luxurious. However, this person is much older than when Qiao Mingyue saw him before, but it can be seen that this person is unwilling to face this fact, so he has to smear a lot of white. The powder is on the face, which looks slightly funny.

When Qiao Mingyue saw someone coming, she smiled and said, "It's been a long time, Mrs. Wang." "Mrs. Wang, Wang Peirong's mother." However, you may have misunderstood, the prince has important matters to attend with the princess, as for falling out of favor, Mrs. Wang doesn't have to worry about it, after all, even if you are divorced tomorrow, it is impossible for the princess to fall out of favor. Qiao Mingyue bit the last few words very hard, and after speaking, Qiao Mingyue turned around and walked towards the palace, without looking at Mrs. Wang again. But you don't have to look at her to imagine Mrs. Wang's thick white. The wonderful expression under the powder, but Qiao Mingyue felt that it really affected her mood after watching it, after all, she came to the banquet.

When Qiao Mingyue arrived, almost all the people present had arrived, and as soon as she entered, she saw that Qi Jingyun was already sitting in her seat, aside from the man, all the ladies didn't care when they saw her, Qiao Mingyue knew that she had been excluded from the aristocratic circle in the capital, so she didn't stop and walked directly to Qi Jingyun.

"Why is it only here now?" Qi Jingyun remembered that it shouldn't be too late for her to go out.

Qiao Mingyue sat down beside him and said, "It's okay, it's just that I was entangled by a mad dog for a while." ”

"Mad dog?"

Qiao Mingyue glanced at the door, and Mrs. Wang happened to come in, pretending to be kind and kind to say hello to the ladies.

Qi Jingyun was relieved and said no more.

There was still a while before the banquet began, Qiao Mingyue was bored, and Qi Jingyun didn't let her drink too much wine, so she had to drink tea one by one.

"I'll go out for a while." Qiao Mingyue whispered.

Qi Jingyun nodded and did not speak.

After Qiao Mingyue got up to leave, a palace maid suddenly came out to add wine to Qi Jingyun, and people often do these things at palace banquets, so he didn't feel strange, knowing that the sake in the palace maid's hand suddenly spilled into Qi Jingyun's clothes.

Qi Jingyun was thinking about things, and was poured a glass of wine coldly, and was still a little stunned for a while, the palace maid seemed to be in a panic, took out a handkerchief and began to rub it on Qi Jingyun's body, apologizing while wiping it, "His Royal Highness King Jin, slave maid, slave maid is not thinking on purpose, please spare the slave maid!" ”

Qi Jingyun was about to push it away, but the palace maid suddenly crooked her feet, and the whole person leaned towards Qi Jingyun, Qi Jingyun was confined to the chair, wanting to hide but couldn't dodge, and was about to shoot the palace maid with a palm, but a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Qiao Mingyue just wrapped one hand around the palace maid's waist and asked with a smile: "Why doesn't the girl have long eyes and want to fall on my husband?" ”

The palace maid closed her eyes the moment she fell, and felt an extra arm around her waist to wrap around her, she thought it was King Jin, so she was shy for a while and didn't open her eyes, and when she heard the woman's voice, the palace maid was so frightened that she immediately opened her eyes.

Seeing that the palace maid's face turned white little by little, Qiao Mingyue suddenly let go, and the palace maid fell heavily to the ground. Ignoring the physical pain, the palace maid immediately got up and kept kowtowing to Qiao Mingyue, "The princess spares her life, the slave and maid should die, the slave and maid don't dare anymore." ”

Qiao Mingyue's color did not change, "Then you should tell me, what is wrong with you?" ”

The palace maid trembled slightly, "No, you shouldn't spill wine on His Royal Highness King Jin......"

Qiao Mingyue sneered and said, "Oh? Is that just wrong? ”

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and defended the palace maid: "It's just a little palace maid, what if everyone admits that you're wrong?" Qiao Mingyue looked at Yin Yuan, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

The young man was looked at by Qiao Mingyue and took a step back, but he felt that this was too shameless, so he took another step forward, and met her gaze with his neck. Qiao Mingyue was not interested in playing with him, so she only glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze.

The palace maid was prostrate on the ground, and when she heard someone speaking for her, she glanced at the young man gratefully, lowered her head again, and a smile appeared on her lips. See, people are sympathetic to the weak.

Qiao Mingyue took everything in her eyes, sneered, picked up a wine glass from the table, and held it in her hand with a slight force, but in a moment, the wine glass turned into a pile of powder.

The palace maid was also stunned, Qiao Mingyue looked at her again, without hiding the killing intent in her eyes, "I said, what else did you do wrong?" ”

Only then did the palace maid realize that Princess Jin was really going to kill her, and the huge fear made her almost lose her voice, and she tried several times before she could barely say a complete sentence, "Slave...... Slaves deserve to die...... Slaves and maids should not be deliberate...... Deliberately spilled wine on the prince...... You shouldn't deliberately fall down and seduce the prince......"

Hearing the answer, Qiao Mingyue smiled with satisfaction, turned to the young man and said, "How is it?" Heard it? ”

The young man didn't expect the truth to be like this, so he had to retreat in embarrassment, and didn't say a word until the end of the banquet.

The palace maid was quickly dragged down and seduced the prince, and this palace maid may not have a good time in the future. After today, Qiao Mingyue's reputation in the capital has deteriorated a little more, but she doesn't care at all, and she doesn't sympathize with that palace maid, who makes someone dare to provoke her without long eyes!

"The emperor has arrived!" A sharp voice sounded, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet them.

"Everyone sit down, and invite the envoys of Nanzhao." The emperor was still smiling.

After the eunuch conveyed the will, the envoys of Nanzhao quickly entered the palace, and it was still Deng Xiaoxian who walked in the front, and the woman behind him should be the one, Princess Zhu Ya.

After a simple greeting, the envoys of Nanzhao sat down one by one, and Deng Xiaoxian, who was so good to die, sat in front of Qiao Mingyue. Qiao Mingyue glared at him twice, but Deng Xiaoxian gave her a wink back, Qiao Mingyue felt a chill in her heart, and looked away from him.

Mrs. Wang, who was not far away, took in the interaction between the two, and scolded in her heart: Damn little slut, who killed her daughter, is still seducing men in public.

If Qiao Mingyue knew her thoughts, she would definitely reply to her: Is there any connection between the two? But it doesn't matter anymore.

"I heard that the capital was in trouble, but Princess Jin fled to Youzhou immediately, how can you say that she will come back now?" Mrs. Wang said in a weird manner, as soon as these words came out, the atmosphere immediately froze, no one was willing to help Qiao Mingyue speak, in fact, they couldn't wait to see her make a fool of her.

Qi Jingyun was about to speak, but Qiao Mingyue held his hand down, it was better for him not to participate in the war between women.

Qiao Mingyue smiled, "What Mrs. Wang said is a little strange, as if I Qiao Mingyue was the only one who escaped after the fall of the capital, Lord Luo, Lord Meng, Lord Yi, and all the ministers present, who didn't go out to take refuge?" Why did Mrs. Wang bite me alone? ”

The ministers who were named lowered their heads, secretly blaming Mrs. Wang for not opening any pot.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect to be pushed back by her so easily, "Who do you say is the dog?" ”

Qiao Mingyue made an innocent statement, "Whoever talks about it." ”

"You!" Mrs. Wang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Qiao Mingyue, "Besides, how can I say that I am fleeing from Youzhou with the prince?" We were ordered to crusade against the Huns, otherwise, Youzhou would not be the land of the Great Zhou. ”

"Besides, it is Your Majesty's will for me and the prince to return to Beijing, is it true that Mrs. Wang, are you dissatisfied with Your Majesty?"

Mrs. Wang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Shangshu again, "Presumptuous, how can you be unreasonable at the banquet!" ”

"The foolish woman doesn't know the severity, and it's not strange to look at Princess Jin."

Qiao Mingyue ignored him, although Mrs. Wang was unwilling, she no longer died, and the banquet continued.
