Mu Ruqing suddenly thought of something, and said to Yizhonghou with some doubts: "Who is this brother, I only feel familiar, it seems that I have seen it, but I can't remember it for a while, why are you covered again?" ”

Yizhonghou's face was full of reluctance, and he said perfunctorily: "It's my aunt's cousin, I just entered Beijing recently, I think I saw it at the wine party, his face is allergic in the spring and can't blow the wind, don't be surprised." ”

"In this case, it is Ruqing and abrupt, but there is one more thing, which needs to be explained clearly by Hou Ye, if it is all made clear, then Ruqing apologizes in person, and sends Hou Ye and this... My cousin eats for free for half a year at Yipinxiang, how about it? Mu Ruqing smiled kindly, and looked at Yizhonghou with bright eyes.

"Okay, naturally it's good, what does Brother Mu want to ask?"

As soon as he heard that he could get half a year of free in the famous Yipinxiang, Yizhonghou couldn't take care of anything, and the corners of his mouth were raised proudly, as if he saw that he was calling friends to accompany him every day and drinking and having fun at Yipinxiang, Yipinxiang didn't love and didn't have to flatter these magnates, so there were few people who put their business on the banquet for the magnates, but if they promised it in public, what they wanted to do at that time was not up to their own eyes.

At that time, the people of the King of Qi found him and asked him to book a wing room in his own name, on the grounds that the King of Qi was still grounded and could not go out blatantly, but he wanted to watch the chef competition of Yipinxiang in person, and promised to send 10,000 taels of silver to the Yizhong Marquis Mansion after the matter was completed, plus the fat difference of the water conservancy dam in Hedong to control the water, which made him moved.

It's just that King Qi asked for a room for him to watch the game, and this saw that the promised things had been moved, so Yizhong Hou was full of free meal tickets for the next half a year, and almost instantly forgot about the pale-faced King Qi beside him.

Mu Ruqing pressed his fist to his lips and coughed lightly twice, which brought back to reality Yizhong Hou, who had fallen into a sweet dream and was full of intoxication, and then he asked: "Since Master Hou agreed, then I will ask." ”

Mu Ruqing paused slightly, causing the whole room to prick up their ears and turn their heads to listen to what he asked.

"Master Hou and this son both said that there were no women in the room, so may I ask," Mu Ruqing's eyes swept over the messy tabletop, and he reached out and picked up a jade cup on the table, "Why is there an extra cup and a pair of chopsticks on the table, and there is still a woman's lipstick residue on the cup?" ”

Mu Ruqing had already pinched the cup with two fingers and turned it around for half a circle as he spoke, and handed it to everyone, there was indeed a water-red half-moon-shaped lip print on the rim of the cup, and the lines of the lips could be vaguely seen, it must be someone who wiped the fiery red lipstick and used this cup to leave traces.

After Ruan Mianmian finished reading the cup, her eyes rolled around, looked at Yizhonghou, and then at King Qi who was covered with her face, and said in her usual innocent tone: "Oh, is it possible, does this son also have a hobby of wiping women's lipfat?" Then he raised his eyebrows again and handed over a knowing look, "It's understandable, it's understandable." ”

King Qi couldn't help it at the moment, plus Fang was laughed at by everyone for making inappropriate remarks, and he kept staring at him with such eyes, and now Ruan Mianmian said such things again, it was obvious that everyone was making fun of him.

Thinking of this, King Qi's original reserve or two points were gone, and he stood up abruptly and kicked over the chair in front of him, even falling to the ground with the beautiful fan, and fell in half with a "snap".

"You have shown this king who he really is! One by one, they are full of nonsense, can you really be a member of the royal family? King Qi tore off the veil on his face, revealing a face flushed with shame and anger, and the upturned eyes showed that his whole person was bloodthirsty and tyrannical, cloudy and uncertain.

As soon as King Qi showed his face, the housekeeper behind him patted his head, knowing that today's matter would not end so well, while thinking about this Ruliang County Lord Ruan Mianmian in his heart, it was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he could get right into his heart in a few words, provoking King Qi to reveal his true identity, and secretly resolved in his heart that when today's matter is over and he returns to the palace, he must let the people in his hands assassinate her at all costs to prevent future troubles.

King Qi's words were very loud, and everyone present was frightened, and immediately knelt down to salute, only Ruan Mianmian and Mu Ruqing were still standing. Ruan Mianmian is the county lord of the emperor's own title, and in the Zongmiao, she is the nominal sister of King Qi, and Mu Ruqing is the county lord's concubine who has crossed the Ming Road in front of the emperor, so she doesn't have to make a big salute, and Liu Xin'er disdains to be a stupid and murderous person like King Qi, so she can't seem to take a step away from Ruan Mianmian, and she doesn't owe a salute.

However, King Qi didn't care about who was perfunctory now, because Mu Ruqing immediately reacted: "Oops, I didn't expect it to be a reunion of old people, I said how to look at the prince so familiar, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful." But in this way, we are all old acquaintances, and please don't hide it, tell the truth earlier, and save disturbing the prince, right? ”

Ruan Mianmian was also surprised: "I didn't expect to see Brother Wang here, but I didn't know until now, it's really disrespectful, I haven't seen Brother Wang in the past few months, Mianmian misses you." As he spoke, Ruan Mianmian smiled dexterously, suddenly retracted his smile, and asked softly with some embarrassment: "Why did Brother Wang come out at this time, Mianmian remembers, it seems that the grounding will not end until next month, right?" ”

After saying this, Ruan Mianmian seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, took a half step back and covered his mouth with his hand, smiled wryly, raised his eyes and looked at King Qi's expression carefully, as if he was afraid that he would be angry.

King Qi snorted coldly, looked at Yipinxiang and everyone in disgust, and said: "In order not to disobey the painstaking efforts of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, this king is also going back, and whoever dares to stop me is disobeying the holy decree!" ”

King Qi threw off his sleeves and just took two steps, and before he reached the door, he heard a majestic voice outside: "Disobeying your order is disobeying the holy decree?" Haven't you already disobeyed my will, how should you explain it? ”

Before everyone got up, even Mu Ruqing, Ruan Mianmian and Liu Xin'er immediately knelt down and saluted in a proper manner, and said respectfully: "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be blessed and long-lived." ”

The others also saluted respectfully, and as the emperor strode in, a group of well-trained guards appeared, who guarded the only staircase upstairs, and guarded the doors of every wing, and even the windows were tightly closed to prevent a single fly or mosquito from flying up to the second floor.

Although the people downstairs were looking forward to seeing the development of things, but after all, they were far apart, and the emperor was in the upstairs wing, so they didn't know that there were the most honorable people in the whole country upstairs, and the emperor entered the wing, and immediately asked Mu Ruqing and Ruan Mianmian to choose two safe and trustworthy people to go down to maintain the scene, Mu Ruqing sent Liu Xin'er and Ruan Bai, Uncle Hua to go down, after they went down, the wing room immediately fell into a dead silence, and the sound of the silver needle landing could be clearly heard.

King Qi looked at the man in civilian clothes at the door in disbelief, his aura was naturally different from others, and he was also followed by Concubine Lan and Princess Fangyan who were wearing veils, and he was already convinced that it was the emperor, so he said blankly: "You... How did you end up in..."

"Bold! Dare not bow to Your Majesty and speak wildly! A guard looked at the emperor's gloomy eyes that could drip water, and immediately kicked King Qi's knee from behind, kicking him to his knees.

However, it was precisely because this blow was heavy enough that he temporarily eased his expression, and immediately kowtowed three times, and kept saying: "Your Majesty forgives me, my brother made an unintentional mistake, and it was never an intentional offense!" ”

Ruan Mianmian and the others had already gotten up peacefully, she stood beside Mu Ruqing, her mouth curled, and she seemed to look down on King Qi. Although she is a weak woman, she also knows the courage and fearlessness in the book, this King Qi has a vicious mind in private, and he is stupid and ignorant and self-righteous, but in front of the emperor and the queen mother, in order to clear up the relationship and admit his mistakes, it is the first place, no one kneels fast like him, his head knocks and sounds, it is really not good.

If he had half the determination and perseverance of the king, he would not have been able to mix up like this. Ruan Mianmian sighed in his heart, he did his own sin, he couldn't live.

The emperor waved his hand, and the guards around him immediately took out all the soldiers who had come up, and did not let them go downstairs, but took them to the box where the emperor was originally in to take care of them, and waited until the emperor returned to the palace safely before they could be released.

Concubine Lan Guifei personally held a stool for the emperor to sit down, and she and Fang Yan naturally stood behind the emperor as a background board. Now as soon as the room is closed, there are only Mu Ruqing and Ruan Mianmian, the two bitter masters, and the three suspects of King Qi, and the rest are the emperor's people.

"Let's talk about it, what happened, what is new for King Qi to come out to see the excitement despite being grounded and disobeying the holy decree, ah?" The emperor was sitting in a chair, and when he opened his mouth, he naturally had a natural majesty.

"It's... It was the younger brother who heard that the Yipinxiang Chef Contest was very lively, and he was preparing to open a restaurant, so he secretly came to take a look. King Qi bowed his head deeply, his fingertips pressed the ground tightly, as if he couldn't support his heavy body, his fingertips were blue and white without blood, and his wrists couldn't stop trembling slightly.

"Oh? Your King Qi and Yipinxiang have always been enemies, and there are unfinished grievances with Liu Xi'er in the past, are you still willing to come to cheer them on, isn't it a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chicken, right? ”

"The younger brother was at fault in the past, and he believed the words of such villains, which made the royal brother and the queen mother unhappy, and almost wronged the lord of Ruliang and Yipinxiang, but the younger brother has changed!" King Qi lowered his head deeply, and even he didn't believe what he said, let alone others.
