Chapter 84: Birthday Banquet
Time passed quickly, and the birthday banquet of the little emperor of Yong was coming.
Since returning from the flower market, Qu Junyan has had an extra tail that follows him like a shadow. The tomb is not like the poor Qi Xiao Zhengtai can go back to Qu Junyan's spiritual world to squat, so as long as there is a corner of Qu Junyan in the Ruiwang Mansion, you can see a sneaky little red fox......
Whenever Qu Junyan looked over, this stupid fox actually let out a troubled wail, and covered his eyes with his two fleshy front paws and shrunk into a ball. Qu Junyan felt that if she had the ability to read minds, she would definitely be able to hear the sentence in her heart: "If you can't see me, you can't see me......"
The so-called method of concealing the body of the tomb is not seen......
In a week's time, Qu Junyan had masterfully controlled the power belonging to the orc clan in his body, and the situation of the red pupil did not happen again. Although the awakening of the bloodline was relatively sudden, Qu Junyan found that the strength of his body had improved significantly, and his five senses were also more acute. This additional attribute also has subtle benefits in terms of spiritual power, for example, in the past few days, Qiqi Xiao Zhengtai has been wailing more than once and begging Qu Junyan to keep the beast under his palm......
In its words, although Qu Junyan's spiritual power palm did not cause substantial damage to himself, the impact of the palm with the brute force of the orc clan was still very amazing! This kind of labor pain, which is not even a traumatic injury, makes it impossible to use the excuse of "work injury"!
In the days of repaying debts without love, Poor Qi Xiaozhengtai confessed more than once to a shadow that flashed somewhere, how could it stimulate the blood of the master! Iniquity......
But the only thing that answered it was the gloating that came from nowhere: "Retribution! You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. ”
…………
The night before the emperor's birthday banquet, Qu Rui called Qu Junyan and Minghong to the study. This time for the emperor's birthday banquet, not only Qu Rui and Qu Junyan received an invitation, but even Ying Hong, who was an adopted son, received an invitation. Qu Rui couldn't help but be a little worried, initially, Ying Hong was not on the invitation list, and it wasn't until five days ago that his name was added.
"Tomorrow night is the emperor's birthday banquet, you two will go with me, this birthday banquet is not the same for men and women, Yanyan...... Be careful with yourself, bear with the grievances first, and wait for your grandfather to get it back for you! Qu Rui looked at Qu Junyan's little face and sighed softly. The changes in the court are unpredictable, this Nizi's appearance is a living target among the princes and nobles, with this little girl, I don't know what problems the little emperor's whim will cause.
"Okay." Qu Junyan nodded.
"One more thing, this birthday banquet actually has another purpose. You have to keep in mind what your grandfather said next, when the emperor reaches the age after the establishment, the ministers of the court and the central government intend to recommend them among the famous and noble women who participated in the birthday banquet this time. The strife between the court and the harem is not a good destination, and my grandfather doesn't want you to go to this troubled water, can you understand? ”
Qu Junyan flashed his big eyes that were slightly ignorant, and nodded obediently. When Qu Rui lowered her head and sighed, a fierce color flashed through the girl's ignorant eyes.
He had already known the main purpose of this birthday banquet, and Qu Junyan was interested in the little emperor of Yong Kingdom. Everyone knows that she is arrogant and lawless, and she is a notoriously spoiled demon king, and this is the first time that a banquet has posted to her. Qu Junyan never believed that this little emperor didn't understand her character, and similarly, she didn't believe that the rumored emperor who had been sitting on the dragon chair for 14 years would be a straw bag without any scheming. But...... She doesn't mind accompanying him to sing this scene, no matter what the little emperor's idea is, it is not so easy to beat the abacus to the Ruiwang Mansion!
In previous years, the palace banquet was basically attended by Qu Rui alone, but this year's birthday banquet, the Rui Wangfu added two guests, which had to make Qu Rui a little worried. Qu Junyan said that he would rather think that it was the emperor's whim to mention it in passing.
But Minghong is an exception, it has been half a month since the last time the early dynasty proposed the palace banquet election, according to the situation of the day, the little emperor will not mention an adopted son for no reason, it can be seen that the addition of Qu Junyan after the election of this birthday banquet made some people a little unable to sit still, and changed the law to explore the bottom of the Rui Palace.
Tomorrow Minghong will go to the palace, but I'm afraid it's not as simple as attending a birthday banquet. There are some people who want to take the opportunity to find out about the situation of the underworld.
"Uncle is careful in everything, with his cultivation, he will definitely be able to protect his grandfather, right?" Qu Junyan suddenly spoke, and asked Xiang Minghong with a smile in his eyes, with a harmless expression like an innocent and curious little girl asking her parents if they had any candy to eat, but only Qu Junyan himself knew, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Qu Rui looked at Qu Junyan with a hint of surprise in his gaze, but it was covered up by the smile that slowly emerged from him. Yanyan is really sensible, he used to not listen to any persuasion, but now he took the initiative to call his uncle, but he also had a matter on his mind.
As a major general of the Ruijia Army, Ming Hong has been cultivated by Qu Rui as an heir since he was a child, and he has broken through the Jindan period at the age of nineteen, and he is the strongest in the second generation of the Qu family in terms of talent! It is not difficult to cultivate during the Qi cultivation and foundation building periods, but the two are only the beginning of cultivation, and Qu Junyan's current level is that he has just touched the threshold of foundation building.
Most of the monks in the mixed world are in the middle stage of foundation building, and it is a bottleneck to cultivate from the late stage of foundation building to the Jindan stage, and seventy percent of the monks have begun to stop their cultivation until this stage. It can also be said that to successfully build a foundation and form a Jindan is to enter a new field, whether it is a martial artist or a mixed world, in terms of professional skills, it will be biased towards instantaneous and large-scale group attacks, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it can directly crush all the following professions of Jindan!
After the Gang Qi or Soul Power is upgraded to the foundation building period, it is necessary to choose a career cultivation. From the first turn, the cultivation of Gang Qi and Soul Power will develop in three directions respectively.
Before the foundation is built, those who cultivate Gang Qi and soul power are called apprentices, and after the foundation is built, the martial artists who cultivate Gang Qi can choose to become a powerful swordsman who walks the world with a sword; A dragon knight with both speed and defense; You can also choose to become a cultivator of the Instrument Spirit. Those who cultivate soul power can choose to become a mage who controls the extremely aggressive force of nature; A formation master with mysterious powers such as formation inheritance, seals, enchantments, and curses; and the team nurse who carries the healing power - the sacrifice.
And Minghong is a ruthless character, don't look at him upright, but he is quite ruthless when he does things, which can be seen in his daily practice, every day of practice Minghong will always practice until he loses his strength before he stops, and often he is helped back to the room when his spiritual power is exhausted.
Hard work pays off, as early as the age of fifteen, Ying Hong has successfully broken through the stage of foundation building, and chose to become a powerful swordsman, and now in just four years, he has become a great swordsman in the Jindan period, looking at the entire Yong Dynasty for a hundred years, only the late Qu Shengan has such an amazing talent. It's a pity that Qu Sheng'an died young, and now Ming Hong in the Ruijia army is a well-deserved major general, compared to Qu Junyan's stubbornness, he seems to have become the first person in the younger generation of Rui Wangfu. Therefore, with him by Qu Rui's side, Qu Junyan can also feel a lot more at ease.
"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Minghong's eyes lit up, and a smile bloomed on his face, during this time, he had been deliberately alienating Qu Junyan, but he also wanted to open up a lot of things. Just for her concern, he will definitely protect them to the death.
Qu Junyan didn't say anything more, all she could do now was to use all the resources around her to protect Qu Rui's safety. But this is not enough, what she wants is for herself to become stronger, so strong that all the enemies of the Ruiwang Mansion will be wiped out from this world. The two young men with their own hearts didn't notice that the old man sitting on the throne had a torch in his eyes, losing the vicissitudes of the past and adding a touch of gratification.
The day passed quickly, and the next day, as night fell, the most luxurious carriages in the imperial city drove to the gates of the imperial palace, where all the high-ranking and powerful people of Yong Kingdom gathered, and they came with treasures to celebrate the birthday of the current emperor.
The carriage of the Rui King's Mansion collided with the carriage of the left phase at the gate of the city. He sat outside the carriage and looked coldly at the luxurious carriages walking side by side.
The carriage on the left was extremely luxurious, and the crystals that fell on the edge of the roof made a series of crisp sounds as the carriage moved forward. "Yo? Isn't this the Regent! What a coincidence. Zuo Xiang poked his head out of the carriage, squeezed out a hypocritical smile on his fat face, and stretched his neck to look into the carriage of the Rui Wangfu.
Qu Rui lifted the curtain of the carriage and nodded slightly to the left minister. Zuo Xiang saw the other two people in the carriage with sharp eyes, and the smile on his fat face was even stronger.
"Jun Yan and Hong'er are also here, it's really lively, I just don't know if the weather is hot and tired, will Jun Yan's mood be affected? But don't worry, the regent, with the relationship between the two of us, I have already instructed the palace people to arrange her seat next to several county lords, and when Junyan arrives at the banquet, someone will immediately accompany her to talk to relieve her boredom, and she will not be affected. ”
"That's a lot of work." Qu Ruipi replied with a smile, and immediately lowered the curtains, isolating the disgusting face.
In terms of identity, the seats in the left row are really impossible to find out what to miss, as the granddaughter of the regent, Qu Junyan is also a county lord recognized by the royal family, and it is reasonable to sit with several county lords next to him. It's just that Qu Rui is cautious, avoids the situation of high merit and shocking the lord, and never allows Qu Junyan to claim to be the county lord.
"Huh." Zuo Xiang retracted his head contentedly. "The county lords of the Ning Fan Wang's family are not good stubble, so the little girl should ask for more blessings."
Inside the carriage, Qu Junyan raised his eyes slightly, "This person's appearance is quite refreshing, and no one is convinced by his facial features, especially this mouth, what kind of filth has he eaten?" "
Qu Rui and Minghong were stunned when they heard this, and it took a long time to react to the connotation of Qu Junyan's words, and they couldn't help but smile a little. I don't know who she learned from during this time, she can always say something hurtful that makes people laugh, and when others reacted that she was scolded, she had already slipped away, and her angry teeth were itching.
