Chapter 85: Entering the Palace
"He is the left minister, and he just pretends to be a little bit of a force on weekdays. This kind of person who has everything on his face and speaks with no brains, he doesn't have to pay attention to it. Yanyan, you have to remember that the real danger is those who take care of you on the surface, that kind of person, when they stab you in the back, they are also the most ruthless. Qu Rui spoke, he was a little worried about Qu Junyan, after all, she was still too young, her mind was not mature enough, and her understanding of human nature was not deep enough.
"A dog that bites, doesn't bark." Qu Junyan carelessly smoothed the fur of a little fox with a fiery red body in his arms. Considering this Hongmen banquet, Qu Junyan also took the tomb with him, and turned into a little fox with him, no more than the size of an adult man's palm, lying in Qu Junyan's arms, squinting comfortably.
Qu Junyan stroked the fox's hand and paused, wanting to stab the knife in the back, but it also depended on whether she gave the other party a chance. In her previous life, she Qu Junyan would only give her back to one person, but in this life, she would not give anyone such a chance except herself!
Seeing that Qu Junyan understood what he meant, Qu Rui shook his head and laughed. During this time, he always felt that Yan Yan had changed a lot during this time. Maybe it was because she learned that Sheng An's affairs had grown a lot, and her mind seemed to have changed dramatically overnight, but fortunately, this was a good change.
Horse-drawn carriages entered the imperial city one after another, the emperor's birthday banquet, and the whole imperial city was lit up and beamed with joy.
The carriage of the Rui Wangfu stopped at the second gate of the palace gate, and all the carriages and entourages must stay here, and they were not allowed to enter the Xiangluan Hall of the birthday banquet, and Qu Junyan and the three of them had to get off.
He handed over the carriage to the servant outside the palace gate first, and carefully protected the congratulatory gift on his chest. The appearance of the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Rui Wangfu immediately attracted a lot of attention in the second gate, and all the princes and ministers shifted their attention to these three.
Qu Rui is still like a dying tiger, although her face has left traces of time, her eyes are like torches, which makes people dare not underestimate her. The little girl who followed Qu Rui has a face that captivates the city and the country, she has not fully grown up, she is already beautiful and moving, if she is an adult, no one can predict how much this little girl can do.
If it is judged by appearance, there are few in the entire Yong country that can be comparable to the eldest lady of the Rui Wangfu, but under this moving beauty, it is a character that people dare not compliment. Qu Junyan's bad reputation is known to everyone inside and outside the imperial city, but no one dares to treat her as a pure white rabbit.
Among the three, the most concerned was the man in black who followed the regent without saying a word. The body that has been trained by Ying Hong for many years in the army is tall and resolute, and his angular facial features are very eye-catching in the crowd, which provokes the onlookers to be shy and flattering, and secretly send autumn waves.
As soon as she got off the car, Qu Junyan heard a lot of discussions, and those groups of famous and noble ladies gathered around to comment on her, and the content was nothing more than despising her for how she could get into the eyes of the emperor. As everyone knows, Qu Junyan was unmoved by the infamy in their mouths, and even wanted to laugh......
Everyone knows that Qu Junyan was seriously injured and dying some time ago, and even the imperial doctor shook his head and sighed, thinking that she would kill herself if she committed many injustices, and she would be half-crippled if she didn't die this time, but she didn't hear the news of the Rui Wangfu for a long time. Today, when I saw Qu Junyan dressed in plain clothes, with his chin and eyebrows lowered, he no longer had the same look as before, and everyone knew in their hearts that they could live until now, it was Qu Rui who smashed countless precious medicinal materials, looking at Qu Junyan's "submissive" appearance, I am afraid that he will be frightened and will no longer be arrogant.
Looking at Qu Rui's preoccupied appearance, everyone felt that this was the case. Even some ministers stepped forward to care for a few words, persuading Qu Rui to relax, expressing their grief for the late three generals, their favor for Yinghong, and their empathy for Qu Rui. After Qu Rui dealt with a few words with a sad face, they also left.
Along the way, the hard work of the Qu family father and son in acting, but Qu Junyan was completely ignored by people. Compared with the second generation of the Rui Wangfu, who has made great achievements, Jun Wuxie, a girl who only knows how to cause trouble, is not worth mentioning at all. Anyway, the Ruiwangfu Mansion is about to fall, this arrogant girl won't be proud for long, haven't you seen that she has lost her arrogance now?
No matter what the face is, most of the people are watching the jokes of the Rui Wangfu in their hearts. No matter how much they praise the three sons and one daughter of King Rui in their hearts, once their own interests are touched, everyone will take off their disguises.
The regent has been in power for many years, and the limelight has overwhelmed everyone, and the bastard things that Qu Rui has settled for Qu Junyan in the past few years, the so-called feng shui takes turns, and it is time for them to see the people withering and the family down.
After passing the second gate, the palace people of Xiangluan Hall led the ministers into the banquet.
The emperor's birthday is a major event in the palace, and after the election, the queen mother attaches great importance to it, and specially vacates her own Xiangluan Hall to entertain guests, and now the hall has been vacated for a banquet. Looking at the luxury displayed everywhere in the Xiangluan Palace, and then looking at the luxury of this banquet, many people secretly smacked their tongues. How much silver does this little emperor have to spend on a one-night birthday banquet?
Minghong handed over the congratulatory gift to the internal official on duty, followed behind Qu Rui, and entered the Xiangluan Palace, Qu Junyan silently walked at the end with his sleeves in his arms, and from time to time quietly looked at whether the fox's tail was exposed. In the past, before this shell changed hands, the original body had followed Qu Rui once to participate in the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and it was also that time that the original body met Gao Lingyue, who had a virtual appearance, and since then he has formed a beam.
Gao Lingyue is the niece of the current Queen Mother and the youngest daughter of the Zuo Xiang family. The above seven brothers are just this only daughter, and they are very spoiled. As soon as she was born, she was named the lord of He'an County by the first emperor, and she was also used to being coquettish since she was a child, so when she saw someone who dared to be more arrogant than her for the first time, she threatened to teach Qu Junyan a lesson for the Queen Mother's aunt without saying a word. The two demon kings of the mixed world are not convinced by anyone, a birthday banquet ended in a hurry in the fight between the two, and the reputation of the lord of Anjun is not too embarrassing to be supported by the queen mother, but Qu Junyan has been famous and notorious since then.
"The life of the little emperor is not easy." The corners of Qu Junyan's mouth hooked up an evil smile, swept the splendid palace, and said coldly.
Qu Rui and Ying Hong's expressions changed slightly.
Minghong was about to say something, but Qu Rui suddenly said, "Yanyan, why do you think so?"
Qu Junyan said: "If the Queen Mother loves the emperor in her heart, she will naturally create a virtuous and humble image for him in front of people, but what I see now is not like this." ”
"The Queen Mother not only did not maintain the image of the emperor as diligent and thrifty, but instead announced the extravagance of the Xiangluan Palace to the world, there are only two possibilities, either the brain is not good, or it is deliberate. A person who has been able to sit firmly in the position of the mother of a country for more than 40 years, I don't believe that she is a person without a strategy, so ...... A birthday banquet is extravagant and wasted to such an extent, and it is still specially chosen to be opened in her bedroom, isn't this so that everyone can witness the extravagance of the royal family? The emperor's arrogance and lasciviousness are unbearable? Qu Junyan tilted her head, but this flowery scene was a kind of shackle in her eyes.
Qu Rui's eyes widened slightly, he didn't expect that Qu Junyan, who had always been ignorant and ignorant, would be able to see through the mystery. Qu Rui glanced at the palace people who were walking in the front, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Today's emperor is not from the queen mother, the queen mother's Gao clan is in the same vein as the prime minister, and it is extremely powerful. At the beginning, she was able to sit firmly in the position of the queen because of her mother's family, but since the death of the first emperor, the ambition of the Gao family has become more and more rampant. ”
If you want to do it, you can stop at the point.
Qu Junyan understood that the queen mother was able to sit firmly in the chair, all because of his mother's arrogance, not because the first emperor valued it, which also made sense why the first emperor would rather hand over the country to a king with a different surname, and he would not worry about letting the Gao family supervise the country. Now that the first emperor kicked his legs, the backer of the little emperor fell, judging from the queen mother's small actions in recent years, I am afraid that she has long had the idea of changing the name and surname of the world.
Speaking of which, the current situation of this little emperor is somewhat similar to that of their Rui Wangfu. They all ran out and thought about unloading the mill and killing the donkey, the queen mother relied on the little emperor to sit in today's position, and the Yong country relied on the Ruijia army to defend the country, but he was also in prison, and he was inseparable from the Gao family.
It's just that the queen mother has also put a lot of effort into doing everything, even if the wolf is ambitious to change the dynasty, she also does the same as pampering her son, a picture of mother and son filial piety.
"Who does the Queen Mother really plan to support the upper position?" Qu Junyan asked softly.
Qu Rui's face turned a little colder, "The third son of the left phase, Gao Mingye." ”
Qu Junyan's face suddenly turned gloomy, he had a relationship with Gao Mingwei, the sixth son of Zuo Xiang, at the gate of the alchemy weapon store in the flower market, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of character these sons and brothers in the Prime Minister's Mansion are. No wonder this Zuo Xiang is so wooing the king of the Ning clan in the court, as the king of the Ning clan is of a different race, he doesn't care about the surname of the person sitting on the dragon chair at all, and he naturally pats his ass and stands in line with the benefits of where he gets the benefits. In the court, after the Gao clan exposes the ambitions of the wolf, he will blatantly pursue him, and the king of Ning is naturally a general. There must be a queen mother's encouragement here, looking at this series of practices, isn't it to weaken the important ministers of the previous dynasty as much as possible and support the prototype of the new monarch?
The little emperor is getting older, and he is not far from the government, and those jackals, tigers and leopards are hiding in the shadows and waiting for the day when the regent will hand over power. It may not be so easy for the country to change hands, but suppressing the Rui Wangfu is something that anyone from the Gao family can step on.
"There are no beads in the eyes." Qu Junyan sneered.
Although I don't know what the little emperor's temperament is, but in Qu Junyan's mind, the Zuo Xiang faction is as stinky as the stones in the dung pit. Even if it's a bullshit waste, it's better than a tyrannical, bullying emperor.
Qu Rui glanced at Qu Junyan deeply, smiled and touched her head, this little girl doesn't talk much, but this little mouth is quite poisonous.
