Chapter 91: Self-reaping the consequences
"Miss Qu, would you like to go out for a walk with me?"
The night shrouded the ridge of the roof, the moonlight outside the hall was hazy, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the wind gently blew the bright faces of the stars. At this moment, the hall full of friends made the insects outside the hall more visible.
The jaws of all the courtiers at the banquet fell to the ground in shock, not to mention the women's seat on the west side, and the jealous eyes of the princes and nobles who were competing for beauty almost shot Qu Junyan with a thousand holes! Everyone held their breath in unison, waiting for the girl standing in the center of the main hall.
Gao Lingyue's eyes were even more resentful and vicious, and her hand shook, almost knocking over the wine glass in her hand......
Qu Junyan was dressed in white like snow, and he was not in a hurry to answer the little emperor's question, and slowly helped up Qu Rui, who was kneeling in front of the hall, and looked directly into the eyes of the little emperor without being humble or arrogant: "The courtiers thank Your Majesty for your compassion, Your Majesty's kind invitation to Jun Yan should not have refused, but it is a misunderstanding, and it doesn't hurt to understand it as soon as possible." ”
After that, Qu Junyan didn't wait for Qu Rui to react, picked up the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.
The sound of gasping air suddenly sounded around them!
Qu Junyan actually rejected the emperor's invitation in public!! It is a luxury for others to hear the emperor speak on weekdays, but the result of the little emperor repeatedly setting precedents for Qu Junyan was rejected by her!
Many people secretly swallowed their saliva, and the princes and nobles of those ladies even reported a gloating expression and prepared to watch the play, Gao Lingyue watched the moment Qu Junyan drank the glass of wine, and her eyes flashed with unconcealable viciousness, and she also drank her own cup.
However, Xiao Dijun quickly accepted the embarrassment of being rejected, and seemed to have no intention of pursuing it, and returned to his lifeless appearance, but his eyes that were not bright were always staring at Qu Junyan, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
"What happened before, I also had something wrong, since I don't care about the past suspicions like Lord He'an, I will thank the Queen Mother for her kindness, and from now on the grievances with the Lord of He'an will be written off." Gao Lingyue was about to return to the throne, but Qu Junyan suddenly beckoned to the eunuch holding the wine pot on the side.
The eunuch handed over the wine jug, Qu Junyan picked up the wine jug lightly, filled his wine glass again, and then tilted his chin slightly, and filled the cup in Gao Lingyue's hand as well, and the moment his fingers were put down, the afterimage of the knuckles jumped rapidly.
Gao Lingyue frowned and looked at Qu Junyan, didn't she find something?
But after thinking about it, she shouldn't have noticed that she was so secretive just now, so she restrained the suspicion in her heart.
"When a glass of wine is gone, there is no suspicion." Qu Junyan raised his hand slightly and took the lead in drinking the wine into his throat.
Gao Lingyue secretly sneered in her heart, but with a gentle smile on her face, she drank the wine in the cup directly.
The Queen Mother looked at Qu Junyan, and when she saw that Qu Junyan knew the current affairs like this, she was very satisfied, and her eyes involuntarily aimed at her cuffs. Although Qu Junyan's character is criticized by others, this appearance and temperament are incomparable to others no matter what, especially some opportunities of Qu Junyan, which makes people can't help but want to get a piece of the pie......
"King Rui, please." The Queen Mother was in a good mood, raised the wine glass in her hand and toasted Qu Rui from afar, which actually made Qu Rui have to return to her seat.
Gao Lingyue also obediently retreated to her position and sat down, with an extremely suspicious smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes quietly fell on Qu Junyan, a little eager and expectant. At a birthday banquet, everyone became a foil, and the little emperor was just that, and even every word the queen mother said was directed at Qu Junyan.
No matter how stupid Qu Junyan is, he can see the Queen Mother's intentions, but this intention is too deliberate, and he doesn't even have the slightest intention of covering it up, which makes Qu Junyan muttered in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what the Queen Mother's hole cards were, and she would feel that Ying Hong was already in her bag.
Halfway through the banquet, the Queen Mother saw that the time was ripe, so she said: "Jun Yan only recovered not long ago, so he came to the palace to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and I think I also admire Your Majesty a lot, right?" Even though our Yong country is not as powerful as other countries, it also has the power of one side. Although the status of the Rui Wangfu has been decided, the heirs of the Rui prince have withered, and the Rui Wang is close to the age of dead wood, and it is not easy to support the huge family business...... If so, Jun Yan has the opportunity to share some for your grandfather and revitalize the Rui Wangfu, I don't know if Jun Yan is willing? ”
Qu Junyan narrowed her eyes slightly, the meaning of the Queen Mother's words made her feel a little strange, but she still maintained an ignorant expression, and said quietly: "Junyan is stupid, please give the Queen Mother advice." ”
Qu Rui's eyes suddenly became sharp, what's the matter with this girl? Fang just thought that she was sensible, so she couldn't hear what the Queen Mother said? Why still follow her words.
"Between heaven and earth, each has its destiny. Yan Yan is stupid by nature, and I am afraid that I will not be blessed to lose the good intentions of the Queen Mother! ”
The Queen Mother chuckled, and her gaze swept over Qu Rui's tense face: "As long as Jun Yan sits in a higher position and holds more power, why can't he change his life against the sky?" ”
"Fang Cai Junyan calls me Fang Ling, do you know my real age?"
Qu Junyan touched his nose, and his ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open was perfect: "It seems to be in the prime of life." ”
The Queen Mother is indeed still charming, but naturally it is not as good as those girls who are in the double tenth year, Qu Junyan is nothing more than reducing the hostility of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother really covered her lips and smiled, "Jun Yan's mouth is really sweet, do you know that the mourning family is only three years younger than Zuo Xiang, Ling Yue has to call her aunt when she sees the mourning family, you guess the age, I'm afraid it is two rounds younger than my actual age." ”
"Really?" Qu Junyan pretended to be surprised, and took the trouble to appreciate the fat face of the "drooping old man" of the left minister, and was amazed in his mouth.
Jindan monks can rely on Jindan to prolong their life, but the change in appearance does not disguise a person who is nearly half a hundred years old as a young girl, she secretly observed that the queen mother's appearance is real, not changed by other means.
A hint of pride flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she said slowly: "I met Jun Yan at first sight, I wonder if Jun Yan is willing to consider my proposal?" If Jun Yan really sat on that chair, Mo said that the power in his hand could help King Rui reinvigorate the Rui Palace, and the rare herbs in the treasury of Yong State could help you look forever. ”
As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, everyone in the entire birthday banquet was shocked.
Everyone can hear the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, isn't this a clear intention to cooperate with Qu Junyan and be willing to exchange for the position of Queen of the Middle Palace?
For thousands of years, power and money have been a great attraction for anyone, and almost no one can resist such temptations! Even the little emperor raised his eyes to look at Qu Junyan, and there was a touch of irony in his eyes.
Qu Ruixin, who was sitting under the seat, had already hung his throat, and he felt more and more that he couldn't figure out the thoughts of his little granddaughter, but this Yongguo royal family was originally a tiger's den in Longtan, and he was afraid that the little girl's mind would be hot. What's more, now the Queen Mother does not hesitate to offer conditions for chips in the future, obviously she has other plans, the probability is that Qu Junyan hides the fox in her sleeve, how do you look at this, Qu Junyan and the Queen Mother cooperate, I am afraid that it is not so simple!
After all, a magical beast that was picked up by Qu Junyan was just a monster, even if it was really of the same grade as the Queen Mother said, Qu Rui didn't think that the Queen Mother would work hard to curry favor with the Rui Palace.
It's just that Qu Rui didn't know that the "wild fox" in his little granddaughter's sleeve had cultivated to the highest level of Warcraft-the Orc Clan.
The orcs have another name in the mixed world, the mythical beast. As the name suggests, a god-level demonic beast, even in a national war, the existence of a divine beast can have an absolutely overwhelming effect. In the troubled times, there are people who rely on the power of divine beasts to expand their territory and dominate one side. The first emperor of Yong State wasted great efforts to find the divine beast as early as the beginning of the founding of the country, hoping to get its protection, and the Yong country can be peaceful and peaceful, but the divine beast is only a rarity, and it is self-evident how rare it is in the mixed world.
Qu Rui's heart was full of worry, but she couldn't show it, and Ying Hong on the side also clenched her fists, but Gao Lingyue's eyes widened even more after hearing this, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
The queen mother's aunt was willing to exchange the queen's position for Qu Junyan's submission?
Why?
Even though Qu Junyan has a good-grade magical beast, it is Qu Junyan's blessing to be regarded by the Queen Mother, so naturally he should take the initiative to offer that fox, but he doesn't need the Queen Mother to look up to her like this!
Gao Lingyue was unwilling, his father worked so hard to please the Queen Mother's aunt, but he didn't get anything, but Qu Junyan is not only the grandson of King Rui who has always been against the Queen Mother, but also not very attentive to the Queen Mother, just a little flamboyant, why did Qu Junyan pinch these good things in his hands?
Gao Lingyue only felt that her qi and blood were surging, and the unwillingness in her heart seemed to be constantly being spawned by a fierce fire, so that the anger that she had been suppressing in her heart continued to expand. Before Qu Junyan could answer the Queen Mother's invitation, Gao Lingyue stood up suddenly, her face flushed, as if she was drunk.
"Auntie! Qu Junyan is just a family member of a courtier, why should she cooperate with our royal family? She's just a monster that can get into your eyes, but so what? If my aunt likes it, I can always order someone to kill her and give her monster hands!" Gao Lingyue spoke angrily.
Gao Lingyue's words made the entire birthday banquet fall into a dead silence again, and the old ministers under the banquet were even more wide-eyed and did not dare to come out! In one day, they were frightened repeatedly, which made their elderly little hearts cry out and couldn't bear it, and watched the county lord of He'an, who dared to make a big statement in front of the queen mother, and they all thought about the matter of "urinating", for fear that if it continued like this, the queen mother would be mad and affect the pond fish.
Zuo Xiang saw that things were not good, the smile on the queen mother's face had completely disappeared, he hurriedly rushed to Gao Lingyue's side, stretched out his hand to pull her out, but was thrown away by Gao Lingyue!
Qu Junyan's body leaned back slightly, playing with the wine glass in his hand, with a trace of coldness in his eyes, calmly admiring Gao Lingyue's "rampage".
