Chapter Ninety-Eight: Taking Control of the Initiative
"Thank you Miss Lu for your wrong love, but you can't afford to be in the next place."
Lu Tingguan suppressed the sadness in his heart, and pretended to accuse angrily, "Qin Chaolu, who do you think you are, if you say you don't like me, you don't like me." Have you considered my feelings?
So many people are watching, how do you tell me to live in the future! β
Qin Chaolu clasped her hands tightly on the ground, her index finger was inserted into the mud, her breathing hurt, but she had to refuse ruthlessly, "I'm sorry, Miss Lu." β
"You!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Your Majesty can't say anything at this time, this Imperial Doctor Qin has such a messy relationship with Miss Lu, how could he push his daughter over, so that his princess seems to be very cheap.
What happened just now, His Majesty chose to lose his memory.
Concubine Chen smiled dryly and played a round, "Okay, okay." You are all talented and beautiful, what kind of good couple do you want?
There are a lot of Miss Childe at the Yan venue today. If there is a suitable one to tell the mourners, they will give you marriage. β
The emperor also hummed, and then cooperated with the queen, the concubine walked towards the main seat, and the banquet began.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Night King has arrivedβ"
Only then did everyone realize that the prince and the night king had not yet arrived.
The emperor was already worried about what happened just now, and when he heard that these two treasures were actually late, he was even more troubled, "Why did you two come so late, don't you know that today is the concubine's birthday?" The emperor was furious.
"The sons (ministers) are guilty, and they also ask their father (Your Majesty) to forgive their sins."
The prince and the night monster knelt down obediently.
"Someone! Drag me out! "The emperor is not good at it, so he can only take advantage of this incident to get angry.
The concubine played a round, "Okay, okay." It must have been too late for something to stumble, but the feast had just begun, so it wasn't too late. β
"Mother, you just get used to them!"
Concubine Chen smiled, "Your Majesty was on the way here, and said that today is the birthday banquet of the mourning family, let the mourning family be the master, and now the mourning family is in charge, and Your Majesty is against it." β
The emperor didn't say anything more, but said, "Don't get up and thank the concubine soon." β
The two got up to thank them, and then said that the reason for coming late was that they had prepared a picture of a hundred immortals for the concubine, because the space was too large and the drawing was too long, although it had been prepared a few days in advance, but it still failed to arrive in time, so it was late.
After speaking, the two ordered their subordinates to display the painting.
Everyone looked, good guy, it's really big, long and complicated.
There are three zhang long, six feet wide, painted hundreds of immortals, men, women and children of various postures, such a pair of erected really has a feeling of hundreds of immortals standing in front of them, everyone is shocked.
The concubine looked at it with joy.
The emperor's face softened a lot, and he felt that he finally had something satisfactory.
"Sit down. Someone came, send this painting to the concubine's bedroom. β
Ye Liuhuai waited for the emperor, and after the concubine took the throne, he turned his head, paid special attention to Qin Chaolu at his feet, and saw her kneeling on the ground, humble and difficult, with a pain in his heart, and leaned over to pull her up.
"I've seen everything just now, and you're doing a good job."
Qin Chao showed a sour tip of his nose and almost cried.
Ye Liuhuai's hand holding her tightened slightly, and quickly withdrew, keeping a certain distance in front of everyone, "Forgive me for not being able to stand up and help you." But don't worry, it's up to me to do the rest. β
"Hmm." Qin Chaolu didn't say much, afraid that she would cry as soon as she opened her mouth, so she bit her lip and walked straight to her position.
Night Stream also headed for his place.
The palace banquet is set up in the open space in the back garden, because there are many people, the main hall can not sit.
But even if it is located in an open space, the seating arrangement is in an orderly manner, and there can be no trespassing.
Ye Liuhuai was not in a hurry to sit down, but lowered his hand towards the emperor and the concubine, "Weichen's congratulatory gift has not been sent yet."
The birthday picture of the hundred immortals just now is just the common intention of Weichen and the prince.
Weichen also has a filial piety that belongs to Weichen, and I also ask Your Majesty, the concubine Niangniang's permission. β
"Oh? What else does the Night King have in mind? "After the emperor was disgusted by the bad things just now, compared with Ye Liuhuai, how to look at it and how pleasing to the eye, and his speech was a lot more pleasant.
Yeliu said respectfully, "A folk birthday song." β
"Good, good!" The emperor is very useful.
Concubine Chen was also very happy, and for the first time she smiled very sincerely and kindly.
Ye Liuhuai took out the piccolo, put it to his lips, and faced the courtiers, his eyes just facing Qin Chaolu.
When Qin Chaolu heard the sound of the flute, his mood calmed down a lot, but the matter of Fang Cai must not be counted like this.
Since King Gong intended to pull her into the water, she had to push him into the fire pit so that it would be fair.
It's just that after making such a fuss just now, she is no longer suitable to stand out in front of the emperor and the concubine, and she needs a chance to push her, where is this opportunity.
Qin Chaolu lowered his eyes and thought about it.
In that room, the night stream has finished a song.
The emperor and queen clapped their hands in admiration, and the courtiers followed suit.
Ye Liuhuai lowered his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently asked Weichen for swordsmanship, hoping to dance a sword for Niangniang at the birthday banquet of the concubine. β
The prince, who was holding his cheeks on the side, heard someone call him back to his senses suddenly, and his eyes were blank.
The little servant behind him whispered and repeated, and the prince's eyes were complicated and mixed with a little anger.
Didn't he know that his face was not suitable for showing people now?
Ye Liuhuai replied with a calm and very meaningful look.
The prince thought of what Ye Liuhuai had said this morning, they were in the same boat. Therefore, although I don't know what kind of trouble Ye Liuhuai is going to make, it won't hurt him if I think about it, and as long as he stands far away and has bangs to cover it, the emperor and the concubine can't see it.
Thinking like this, he got up and took his sword.
Ye Liuhuai returned to his seat, holding a wine glass in his hand, and sat and waited for the show, occasionally looking at Qin Chaolu.
Qin Chaolu knew that this move was intended to speed up the process of selecting a concubine for the crown prince.
Before, Ye Liuhuai told her that all families wanted to take the opportunity to cling to the prince.
Helplessly, the prince used Fang Shi as an excuse to refuse.
Although the Murong clan didn't believe it, the prince was also from the Murong clan, so he wanted to give some face, so he never exposed it.
Now rumors are spreading that the prince is good at Longyang, even if the prince himself doesn't mind, the queen and the Murong clan will also mind, which has to force the prince to choose a concubine.
At this time, other small families will also be ready to move, thinking about getting a concubine.
It's just - Qin Chaolu looked at Ye Liuhuai in a daze.
This plan is a slight departure from their previous plan.
The previous plan was that she would first go up to perform to give a hint to other families, and then there would be an endless stream of young ladies from the family to come up to give art opportunities, and then with the help of the rumors of the prince Longyang's goodness, she could also force the queen to choose a concubine for the prince as soon as possible.
However, Qin Chaolu's quarrel with King Gong had already made her lose her color in front of the emperor and concubine, so it was not easy to show face at will, so she could only come from the night flow.
But whether it's her or the night stream, the initiative is in their hands.
But the prince's own sword dance has exceeded the plan.
And after the prince came on the field, who dared to go up to accompany the young lady, this is not a blatant provocation of the Murong family?
So where is the idea of Ye Liuhuai?
Qin Chaolu felt that he really didn't know much about him, even if he taught her some conspiracy techniques, but in front of him, she was simply not worth mentioning.
