The huge square is brightly lit, the ground is covered with red carpets, there is a large desk above, and on both sides below are rows of neatly placed smaller tables, and a large space is vacant in the middle, surrounded by blooming delicate flowers, and you can faintly smell the strange fragrance of flowers.

The early summer evenings are still a little cool, but the square is bustling with activity.

At this time, there are dancing girls dancing gracefully in the vacant space in the middle, and there are already people seated on each desk, and the little eunuchs and palace maids shuttle between the desks from time to time.

Tonight, the reception banquet set up by Yasukuni for the Shan Li delegation and the Yunwu Pavilion was set up on the square outside the Zhaohua Palace, and many princes and ministers of Yasukuni also participated, and all the princes and princes of the royal family participated, and even the concubines and princesses of the harem also participated.

After the initial nourishment of mutual praise and mutual modesty, the atmosphere was much more lively and relaxed, and the communication between the host and guest was more casual.

The old emperor of Yasukuni looked at the well-behaved Qiu Jin and Qiu Xia, and said to King Wei: "I think that when I met your father and emperor on the battlefield, I was just a stunned boy, and in the blink of an eye, his imperial grandchildren have already reached this age. Hey~ It's not okay to be old! ”

King Wei replied: "The emperor is in the prime of life, how can he serve the old man." ”

Wen Qiyun, the little princess sitting next to the old emperor, hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the old emperor and said coquettishly: "Father, how old is the emperor?" Father is not old at all! The father is the youngest father in the hearts of his sons! ”

Qiu Xia, who was sitting below, lowered her head slightly when she saw it, showed an unshaven expression and whispered, "It turned out to be a sycophant!" ”

Qiu Jing, who was sitting on the same desk with Qiu Xia, immediately reminded in a low voice: "Don't be unreasonable!" Pay attention to the occasion. ”

Qiu Xia said impatiently: "Got it! Got it! Don't get into trouble, do you?! ”

Qiu Jing: "It's good to know!" ”

The old emperor laughed out loud when he was coquettish by the little princess who was the most favored, and then said to King Wei: "Your father is so blessed to give birth to you princes who can be literate, capable of martial arts, and united." Your imperial brother is a good emperor, and he will govern the country of Shan Li in an orderly manner, and in just these years, the people can be fed and clothed, and the small life is getting better and better, it is really a rare Ming Jun! ”

The old emperor had a headache when he thought of these princes in his house, he really envied the first emperor of Shan Li Kingdom, and all the princes born were very good, especially this King of Wei and the one who became the emperor at a young age.

A wholeheartedly for the country and the people, even the harem has not been expanded, only the queen is alone, just to be able to spend time and energy on people's livelihood. One is willing to do his best to assist the emperor's brother, and it is rare for brothers and brothers to be respectful. There are several other brothers, although they don't have much ability, but at least they are all dedicated to the emperor.

Brothers work together, and their profits are golden!

It's like his unfilial sons.

Lao Wu has rarely stayed in the imperial city since the disappearance of his princess, except for a trip back for the New Year, he almost can't see him for the rest of the time, and he has recruited him back in the past two years.

Xiao Eleven has no interest in the throne, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the court, and follows those "fox friends and dog friends" around all day long.

Not to mention the rest of the people, all of them fought for the seat under his buttocks, and they didn't care about any family lovers. On the surface, he is a brother and a brother, but in private, he is bloody, and everyone thinks he is old and foolish.

Hmph~ He can understand it clearly in his heart.

In the face of Emperor Yasukuni's praise, King Wei was not complacent at all, but very modest: "The emperor has praised it!" As children of the royal family, we should do things for the country and the people, and we should do our best! ”

The two chatted a few more words, and the old emperor turned to Qiu Lin again, and said, "The Qiu Pavilion Lord is really a young talent, he has already created such a big family business at a young age, he is really a rare talent!" ”

Qiu Lin hurriedly saluted and said, "The emperor has praised it!" The grass people are also forced to eat by life, just because there are more and more people who follow them to eat, and the grass people have no choice but to find a way to find food for everyone, just to catch the ducks on the shelves. ”

Before the old emperor could speak, a voice sounded: "Look at what the Qiu Pavilion Lord said, this duck can be put on the shelves on such a large scale, so if you have the heart to operate, it must not be the first in the world?!" Hahaha......"

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and when they saw who it was, they reacted differently.

Qiu Lin followed the voice and looked over, it turned out to be Wen Qike, the old king of the sixth realm, but I didn't expect that after so many years, it was still the same brainless and impulsive.

Qiu Lin only smiled politely and did not answer.

For this kind of very self-righteous person, Qiu Lin has no interest in taking care of it. Her Cloud Mist Pavilion is now the largest in the world, she is the richest person in the world, and the royal families of various countries have to stand aside compared to her.

Of course, Qiu Lin will not be proud to show it, some old sayings are good, called: make a fortune with a muffled voice! Wealth is not exposed!

She never told outsiders what she had done, nor how much she earned, but she did whatever she thought, and before she knew it, she became bigger, and even she didn't know how much money she had now, because countless amounts of money came into her account every day.

It is not an exaggeration to say that she is rich and rivals the country, and there will only be more and more in the future.

Qiu Lin hadn't said anything yet, but the old emperor pulled a face and spoke: "King Xiang, don't be rude!" ”

The old emperor's words to defend it made everyone even more sure of the importance of this Cloud Mist Pavilion in the emperor's mind.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

The old emperor turned his attention to the other members of the mission, Qiu Lin was happy to settle down, she really didn't want to contact this father-in-law who used to be very respectful and now wanted to hate and hate.

The atmosphere after that was very relaxed, and the princes and ministers of Yasukuni were polite to the mission, and they were also to the Cloud Pavilion, which made Qiu Lin also relax a lot.

But there will always be some eyes looking at her from time to time at the banquet, some looking, some curious, and some approving...... But why did she always feel that there was a gaze that was not good, but she glanced at the banquet several times but did not find out who the owner of that gaze was, as long as she didn't look for it, that gaze still looked at her from time to time, which made her heart start to feel a little hairy.

After that, a wave of ministers came to toast, and after Qiu Lin toasted one by one, he was pulled by Wen Qixiao to know the people of the royal family, the first was the queen, and the second was his mother, the imperial concubine.

"Qiu Lin, this is the king's mother!" Wen Qixiao smiled and introduced to Qiu Lin, if you look closely, this smile is a little different from the usual smile, with happiness and gentleness in it, and there is a feeling of seeing her parents with her own quasi-"daughter-in-law".

Qiu Lin hurriedly glanced at her mother-in-law, and at a glance, she could clearly see that she was much older, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were already obvious, even the nasolabial folds at the corners of her mouth.

It stands to reason that the imperial concubine is one of the most favored concubines in the harem, and the degree of eating and drinking has never been bad. Looking at the queen sitting next to her, the two are almost a few years old, but they look a lot worse, and the queen is obviously much younger than the imperial concubine.

Could it really be because Wen Qixiao was worried about it?

Qiu Lin retracted his thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Cao Min Qiu Lin has seen the imperial concubine!" The imperial concubine is blessed with Jin'an! ”

The imperial concubine pressed down her excitement, and said in a slightly trembling voice that was not easy to detect: "The Lord of the Autumn Pavilion is exempt from courtesy!" ”

"Imperial Concubine Xie!" Qiu Lin stood up straight, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at the ground.

She is a good demonstration of the attitude and posture of a civilian man when he sees a harem concubine.

The imperial concubine looked at her from time to time after she entered the banquet and saw Qiu Lin, but because the distance was a little far, she couldn't see it very really, but she felt very familiar. Wen Qixiao had been staring at her when she brought Qiu Lin over just now, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she had a strong feeling at this time, as if she had seen the child come back, and her missing daughter-in-law was standing in front of her.

"Child, you raise your head and let Hongu take a look." The imperial concubine thought about it and subconsciously said it, and when she realized what she said, she couldn't take it back.

Qiu Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still raised his head obediently, his eyes were on the face of the imperial concubine, neither humble nor arrogant, his expression was natural, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The imperial concubine looked at the person in front of her, her eyes widened in shock, and her face was in disbelief: It's too similar, this appearance is too similar! It's carved out of the same mold. But the unsightly beard, unequal height, and man's outfit at the same time clearly told her that this was another person, a real man.

"Child, you ......" The imperial concubine had just stretched out her hand a little distance when she was stopped by the queen next to her, and she also interrupted what she was about to ask.

The queen pressed her little hand and held it into her palm, smiled and whispered: "Sister, you see that this Qiu Pavilion Lord is really a talent, it seems that he is about the same age as our Qi Wangye, it is really terrifying!"

Then he said to Wen Qi Xiao meaningfully: "King Qi, it's not that this palace wants to talk about you, the Lord of the Autumn Pavilion has already achieved such an achievement at a young age, and look at you again, those who have been running around all the year round have not made a name for themselves, and it is time to collect their hearts and learn from the Lord of the Autumn Pavilion." ”

"Erchen knows it's wrong! It's the son's unfilial piety, which makes the queen and the mother worry about it! Erchen will change it in the future, and now Erchen is also learning how to do business with the master of Qiulin Pavilion, so that he can serve the country in the future. Wen Qixiao said unhurriedly and respectfully.
