Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Palace Banquet
In the past few days when Qu Qingge went home, every day there were people who heard the wind and moved to visit Qu's house with heavy gifts, respectfully visiting Qu's house, or handing invitations to invite Qu Qingge, down to the pawn peddlers, and up to the emperor's relatives, among which there were many important ministers in the court, and everyone was enthusiastic, just to meet the legendary fairy child.
In fact, there are not many people in the secular world who have been selected to cultivate in the true realm, and it stands to reason that the people in the secular world are not so strange to immortal masters, not to mention that the opportunities for these powerful people to come into contact with immortal masters have greatly increased.
So why do these people still respect Qu Qingge so much?
However, it turned out that there was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: if there was no major event, the monk should not disturb the secular world at will.
Therefore, even if people in the cultivation realm are born in the secular world and occasionally go home to visit relatives, they rarely reveal their identities in public, and the most important factor why Qu Qingge is so popular is that her way of traveling is too high-profile, she has seen too many people, and the attention she has attracted is too widespread, which will lead to this grand occasion today.
However, no matter how high-profile her actions are, Qu Qingge does not want to be disturbed by others to disturb the happy moment with her family, so except for the palace banquet specially set up for her by Emperor An Wu, the monarch of the Great Yang Kingdom, she will appreciate her face, and she will turn away all other invitations to visit.
People who have been pushed down to visit or invite requests, even if they are depressed, do not dare to be dissatisfied.
Because in the eyes of outsiders, Qu Qingge's identity is not only the daughter of the four-rank Zhongwu general, but also the great sect that dominates one side in the cultivation realm, the noble immortal child in the Lingyun Sect, even so many powerful immortal masters have to listen to her orders and serve her, which shows the dignity of her status within that big sect.
As for the invitation of the monarch of Dayang, Qu Qingge can also choose not to go, after all, even if the monarch of Dayang is the king of a country, he is just an ordinary person, but she can't help her as a monk, but her parents and relatives still have to continue to live in Dayang.
For the sake of his family, for this face, Qu Qingge has to give it whatever he says. So when she received the invitation post personally sent by Emperor Anwu's brother, Prince Zhongsu, she didn't embarrass others, and simply answered on the spot.
Today is the third day of Qu Qingge's return home, and Emperor Anwu, the monarch of Dayang, specially set up a luxurious palace banquet to entertain the immortal masters who came to Dayang.
The palace banquet was set at noon, so Qu Qingge got up and prepared after finishing a night's practice.
She put on her most luxurious set of robes, which were made of ice silk and a set of dresses from ice blue to frost white, a wide-sleeved long skirt with a ruffle collar, and delicate snowflake dark patterns embroidered on it.
Although this dress is not of high grade, only a medium grade, it is the most gorgeous set of dresses among all Qu Qingge's vestments, which is a embryonic dress specially tailored for her by Zhang Lian'er.
As the name suggests, the radiance charm is a kind of rune that can make the utensils radiant and shiny, and this kind of charm is mostly used to make the clothes of female nuns, and is very favored by beautiful female nuns.
Changing clothes, and then bringing a set of delicate sapphire heads, Qu Qingge reached out and pinched a water mirror, standing in front of the water mirror and looking at the mirror to self-photo, although the girl in the mirror is still immature, but she has also begun to have a bit of a girlish feeling, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, ice muscles and jade skin, with that set of ice and snow luxurious dresses, like a snow fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, floating out of the dust.
Looking at her appearance, Qu Qingge nodded with satisfaction, this outfit was gorgeous and elegant, with a bit of solemnity, which was very in line with her identity.
She turned around and stepped out of the door, went to her parents, and when she passed by the young brother's courtyard, she keenly heard the young brother's angry crying and his nurse's persuasion, she walked in directly, and took the young brother out by the way, and took it to the parents' yard together.
As soon as he arrived in his sister's arms, Qu Qingxian nested obediently inside, two little fat hands tightly tugging on the placket of his sister's chest, and there were still two tears of grievance on his round little face.
Qu Qingge carried him all the way, and was speechless for his two unobtrusive fathers and mothers, and actually put a one-year-old child alone in a yard to live.
However, she also knows in her heart that the Qu family is from a peasant family, and the children raised by the peasant family are relatively rough, and the Qu family started as a military general, and the upbringing of the male baby is even rougher, not as fine as raising her as a girl back then.
It may be because the baby is naturally more sensitive to aura, since Qu Qingge returned home, Qu Qingxian loves to stick to this sister whenever he has the opportunity, and Qu Qingge is also willing to spoil his younger brother.
When he came to his parents' house, he saw that they had already gotten up, and they were having breakfast at this time, and after Qu Qingge greeted his parents, he held Qu Qingxian and found a place to sit down at random, and picked up the spiritual food brought up by the jade sleeve to feed his younger brother.
After Qu Qingge went home, except for the first day after she ate a meal in the secular world, every meal in the future was made by Jade Sleeve personally with the spirit vegetables and spirit beast meat of the Spirit Valley for Qu Qingge to eat, and even the Qu family also ate these aura-rich foods, but in just a few days, they looked at the spirit and spirit very different from before.
For example, the old problem of rheumatism on Grandpa Qu's legs and feet is much better, and she has been walking like a fly recently, and Grandma Qu is even younger than a few years younger, so she happily ran to the warehouse to pick up several brightly colored cloths, and asked the embroidery lady in the house to help her make a few more beautiful clothes, which made Grandpa Qu always muttered that she was disrespectful to the old, but in the end she was scolded back.
"Don't patronize your brother, eat more yourself. Zhou Liniang scooped a bowl of soy milk for Qu Qingge, sandwiched a fritter and two buns, pushed it in front of her, and said with concern.
"Got it, mother. Qu Qingge nodded in response, and seeing that the younger brother in her arms was almost full, she picked up the chopsticks and used breakfast by herself.
After telling her daughter, Zhou Liniang turned her head and saw that her husband didn't even eat well, so she knew that she was holding the secret realm of martial arts brought back by her daughter and watching it obsessively.
"Do you dare to ask why?!The children are still there, you don't eat well early in the morning, are you ashamed to look like this? And Meow'er finally went home once, you don't want to hurry up and get along with her, all day long, you know that holding these broken books is chattering, believe it or not, I asked Meow'er to take back the books for you!"
Zhou Liniang's willow eyebrows were raised, her beautiful eyes were on fire, and she was a bunch of crackling numbers in front of Qu Qiaoshan, which made Qu Qiaoshan promise again and again with a ashamed face that she would not do it again in the future, and carefully coaxed his wife to let her stop being angry.
If this appearance of the nest is seen by outsiders, he may not know how to arrange him Quqiao Mountain is a dignified man, or a general who commands thousands of armies, and he is actually afraid of the inside!
But Qu Qiaoshan doesn't mind this, in his opinion, his wife has given birth to children for him, honored his parents, and handled housework, which is already very hard, and he spoils her every day and lets her be deserved.
After watching a play early in the morning, Qu Qingge finished his meal without being surprised, and played with his younger brother for a while, and after his younger brother was sleepy and fell asleep, he left him in his parents' yard and went to his grandparents' yard to accompany them.
When the palace banquet was about to begin, everyone in the Qu family was dressed up and ready to go, Qu Qingge hugged his younger brother and sat on her frame with jade sleeves, while the rest of the Qu family still sat in the Qu family's carriage, and the group set off for the palace.
In the palace banquet, Qu Qingge was presented as a guest of honor, even Emperor Anwu and his empress retreated to the first line, sitting at the bottom of Qu Qingge, Jade Sleeve stood behind her with a respectful face, and the others were arranged to sit in the position of the emperor and queen, at this time, Qu Qingge was no longer suitable to take her younger brother, and could only hand him over to his mother to take care of.
At the palace banquet, Qu Qingge remained indifferent throughout the whole process, did not say much, and also gave a certain response to some of Emperor Anwu's words, but there was no more.
This image added a little mystery and majesty to her, which made the hearts of those present even more afraid of her.
"Master Immortal, the little emperor toasts you with a glass, and I want to appreciate your face. Emperor Anwu picked up a glass of wine and toasted to the song of the previous song.
Qu Qingge picked up the half-filled wine glass in front of him, replied to Emperor Anwu, and said indifferently: "The monarch is polite." ”
Then she drank all the contents of the cup, and never thought that as soon as the wine was in her mouth, she noticed that something was wrong, her eyebrows frowned, her face was displeased, and she turned her head and asked Emperor Anwu: "What does the monarch mean by this?"
"What?" Emperor An Wu was stunned by the question, and asked inexplicably.
"There is poison in this wine!" Qu Qingge's eyes suddenly turned cold, like a thousand years of ice, and he said coldly in his mouth.
"Impossible!"
"Impossible!" said Emperor Anwu.
At the same time, another female voice followed him, screaming in a shrill voice that attracted the attention of many people in the room.
They turned their heads to see who the gaffe was, and immediately turned their heads, as if nothing had happened.
The screaming woman was Qu Qingge's mother-in-law, as soon as she heard that her daughter's wine had been poisoned, she lost control for a while, and screamed in shock, but everyone understood that she loved her daughter, and Qu Qingge's identity was special, but no one dared to treat her for the crime of dereliction of honor in front of the emperor.
"Mother, don't worry, this little poison can't help me. Qu Qingge saw that her relatives were anxious for her, and immediately raised her voice to comfort her.
At this time, the surroundings were dark, and it fell into pitch darkness, and a black mist suddenly enveloped the entire palace, and an eerie laugh came from the air: "Hee-hee-hee-ha-ha...... Come play, hee-hee-hee...... Let's have fun together."
The sudden darkness caused everyone present to scream, and everyone fled in panic, some shivering under the table, and some tried to escape from the door, but the black fog blocked the way.
The people who can be qualified to participate in this palace banquet are all noble and powerful, and when they encounter this kind of bizarre and terrifying thing, these adults, noblewomen, sons and daughters are all frightened and lose their former dignity, and their embarrassment is fully revealed, and their ugliness is revealed.
