Chapter 35: The Game

Concubine Duan is the most feminine man that Empress Qu Fengran has ever seen, he is more beautiful than women, his appearance is better than Pan An, and his speech is also gentle.

Such a beauty is born to be pampered.

Empress Qu Fengran thought so, even if Concubine Duan said that she wanted the moon in the sky, she would order someone to make a ladder to climb the sky to take off the moon in the sky for him.

It was supposed to be pampered by her in the palm of her hand, but it was stirred up by Qu Jiuning and a delicate flower withered, and it could no longer bloom with a beautiful color.

Concubine Duan is not as good as before, her face is thin, she is afraid of everyone when she sees her, and she is crazy.

As if he was deeply hit and had a mental breakdown, Qu Fengran went to see Concubine Duan for a few days, but every time he was repelled by his crazy appearance, several times, Qu Fengran never went again, and the Concubine Duan printed in his mind could never come back.

Wen Zhao knew that His Majesty actually liked Concubine Duan very much in his heart, and as long as Concubine Duan was mentioned, he would definitely not be as pleasant as he was just now.

Sure enough, the effect he wanted was achieved.

Qu Fengran no longer looked like he had just said and laughed at Qu Jiuning, and he had a calm face throughout the whole process.

Lu Tingsen stood behind Qu Jiuning, so he couldn't see Qu Jiuning's expression, but when Concubine Duan was mentioned, the atmosphere obviously changed.

Rumor has it that he had heard about it, too.

It is rumored that Qu Jiuning pressed Concubine Duan, who was passing by to enjoy the flowers, directly among the flowers after being drunk.

That incident was seen by the people in the palace, and it was directly in front of the empress, which was a special sensation at that time.

At that time, when Lu Tingsen heard this rumor, he didn't pay attention to it at all, anyway, they were all people who had nothing to do with him, but now this person who had nothing to do with him has become an indelible existence in his heart.

Qu Jiuning's wine is so bad, but he is a drunkard, and he was almost killed by Su Xi after being drunk last time, so it is rumored that Lu Tingsen believed it.

[I don't know what this concubine looks like......]

[How much wine does she have to drink, this is already the tenth cup, this wine has a lot of stamina, should she get drunk again and unknowingly make a second concubine. 】

[How can I stop her?] 】

Hearing Lu Tingsen's inner voice, Qu Jiuning's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, and the wine spilled out.

...

Where am I so anxious?

And that's really not what I did!

Forget it, she's also a little afraid that something terrible will happen after getting drunk, so let's drink it after returning home.

Qu Jiuning licked his lips reluctantly and put the wine glass back in place.

Qu Fengran had been dull for a long time, and suddenly said, "Zhong Aiqing, do you have any new fun to amuse?" ”

If Concubine Duan was not mentioned, Empress Qu Fengran would not even be able to stand singing and dancing.

The more I look at it, the more upset and irritated I feel.

The ministers were silent, and everyone could see that the empress's mood suddenly became bad, and they didn't want to come forward to scold at this time.

But it's not the same as the old.

She was not afraid of Qu Fengran's gloomy face at all, walked out of her seat, and respectfully bowed her hand: "Your Majesty, there is a very simple game here. ”

The empress cheered up and raised her hand: "Aiqing, please speak." ”

"Get on the instrument."

The palace people moved the drum to the center of the drum, a position where everyone's eyes could see.

He Lao walked to the drum and sat down, looking at everyone: "The name of the game is very simple, the name is a game of several horses. ”

As he spoke, he beat the sound of a horse on the drum: "Gotta gotta get ....."

After a burst of voices, He Lao stopped his hand and asked, "Guess what, a few horses." ”

King Chung: "Six horses! ”

King Lu: "Seven horses!" ”

Hou Wang: "No, no, it's obviously eight horses!" ”

There were also the answers of the ministers, and there were constant arguments for a while, and the old man sat without saying a word, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile.

King Lu wanted to take this opportunity to let the empress know that she was smart.

He Lao also taught King Lu and King Zhong.

But the lukewarm to them never gives them any good looks.

But before and the old man, he was kind to Qu Jiuning, and Qu Jiuning had a natural conversation, which was something that had never happened to King Lu and King Zhong!

That's why Lu Wu especially wants to prove himself.

Let He Lao and Empress Qu Fengran know that she is no worse than Qu Jiuning.

Qu Jiuning didn't speak, staring at the drum in Helao's hand.

Obviously, he hit six times, but the answer of six horses was wrong.

How many horses are there?

Qu Jiuning was stunned and couldn't answer at all.

[Three horses.] 】

Qu Jiuning heard the answer in Lu Tingsen's heart, turned to the side to look at him, and raised his eyebrows.

Was the answer he had in mind correct?

Lu Tingsen hid under his sleeve, and his hand quietly compared three fingers.

He Lao looked straight at Qu Jiuning in front of the emperor and asked, "The other people have already given the answer, I don't know what the answer is for King Jing?" ”

Qu Jiuning glanced at Lu Tingsen again, and felt that this answer was very outrageous.

It's obviously six hits, why is it three horses?

He shouldn't have a bad ear.

Lu Tingsen nodded very affirmatively at her.

"Three horses."

It's wrong, it's wrong, and she's not the only one who says it's wrong.

Three horses?

When King Chung heard this answer, he smiled and shook his head.

King Lu even sneered, "Third sister, why are you all marching and fighting, why are your ears so bad, obviously it's just six sounds, you can't hear this?" Isn't it possible that you rely on luck to fight? ”

Regarding Qu Jiuning's return from another victory, Qu Beifu has always been very skeptical.

Why Qu Jiuning has no injuries at all, what is wrong in the middle, she still can't figure it out, but it must not be Qu Jiuning's strength, it must not be!

Hou Wang interjected at this time: "No, no, it's obviously eight horses, I heard it really." ”

Empress Qu Fengran stared at Qu Jiuning with her eyes, and her thoughts seemed to be thinking about how many horses there were.

Wen Zhao spoke up again: "The concubine thinks that King Lu's answer is correct, and the concubine also listens to it as six times, so it's six horses, as for King Jing, it's probably an answer that he came up with casually." ”

Empress Qu Fengran didn't respond, and looked directly at He Lao below: "The correct answer is a few horses." ”

He Lao stood up, stretched out his finger and pointed at Qu Jiuning with a smile on his face: "The correct answer is three horses." ”

Empress Qu Fengran's face looked much better, and her gaze at Qu Jiuning softened a little.

She's still very smart.

He Lao praised without hesitation, "King Jing is so sharp, he can guess the answer just once." ”

I think she guessed it after listening to it several times, and originally thought she was already very powerful.

Now I only listened to it once, and I saw through Qu Jiuning.

She's really smart.

The eyes of the ministers all turned to Qu Jiuning, praising one after another.

Qu Jiuning felt that he was about to inflate himself in the rainbow farts of the ministers, and his little tail was about to ascend to heaven

"Impossible!" King Lu gritted his teeth and cut off, "How can this be the correct answer!" ”

He Lao's face changed, and he was not as good-looking as he was just now, and asked in a cold voice: "Does King Lu mean that the ministers and King Jing conspired?" ”

What is the need for collusion in such a small game?

And what kind of identity is Helao, how could he do such a thing.

When King Lu knew that he had said the wrong thing and wanted to change his words.

Qu Jiuning suddenly said: "This is indeed not the answer I came up with. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the king was still disgraced, and at this time, the face can be said to be excited to explain!

Look, even Qu Jiuning himself admitted it, and said that it wasn't collusion!?

"I'm cheating." Qu Jiuning stood up and replied very simply.

"What do you mean by this.....

Before he finished asking the old man's words, Qu Jiuning pulled Lu Tingsen behind him to the front and raised his hand: "He told me the correct answer." ”
