He deliberately emphasized the word "cousin" and looked at Qian Jue provocatively.
He thought that since his master couldn't lose face, he would help his master to prevent Mr. Qian from looking like a shrewd villain all day long.
Qian Jue glared at Lin Qi and said, "You'd better not get sick."
"When you are sick, there are also doctors and physicians."
Lin Qi was not to be outdone, "I really thought he was some elegant young man before, luckily the princess has a keen eye."
"Lin Qi, stop talking."
Yu Yiluo was worried that Lin Qi would continue talking, and Qian Jue, the black sesame stuffed one, was giving him medicine, so she spoke out to stop him.
Qian Jue looked at Yu Yiluo with a touching expression, "I knew that Luo'er still cares about me, her cousin."
Yu Yiluo: “…”
【Why is the tea so fragrant? 】
…
It was almost noon when Feng Qingqing sent someone to invite Yu Yiluo and Concubine Xian.
I don't know whether she did it on purpose or not.
When the two of them arrived, the queen and other ministers had already arrived.
The banquet was held outside, probably because Feng Qingqing felt it would be more convenient for her to implement her plan outside.
Empress Xian held Yu Yiluo and bowed to the Empress.
"Get up and sit down quickly. Don't let Luo'er get hungry."
Feng Qingqing stood up quickly when she saw the two of them coming and apologized.
"My Lady, you are late. There is no room in the front. How about..."
Before she could finish her words, Concubine Xian spoke directly: "I'll take Luo'er and sit in the back."
[The above is left to you blessed people to enjoy. My mother and I are not worthy of it.]
Feng Qingqing originally wanted to do this to embarrass Empress Xian, but Empress Xian didn't care at all.
She snorted in her heart. The closer to the front the seat, the more honorable it is. This Concubine Xian is just as disrespected as the Crown Prince of their country. She keeps wanting to sit in the back.
The Prime Minister looked at Feng Qingqing's petty behavior with cold eyes, and then looked at the prince sitting behind him with an upright posture, handsome face and extraordinary demeanor, and felt that his country's princess was an embarrassment.
"Okay, today is your birthday. You're the birthday girl, so it's understandable that you can't take care of many things."
The Queen said this to give Feng Qingqing a way out, but Feng Qingqing seemed not to see the step and scolded the maid next to her with a sullen face.
"How do you do things? How can you not arrange for the position of the princess?"
The maid knelt on the ground in fear, saying that she was wrong.
The ministers turned their eyes away and didn't look at Feng Qingqing.
I had the illusion that it was Feng Qingqing who was embarrassed, but they felt more embarrassed.
The prince of another country is still alive, but the princess was so rude and harsh on the servants at her own birthday party.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye would know that the princess was deliberately targeting the princess and her daughter. Otherwise, the princess was no small figure and would not have forgotten her position so easily.
"Go down, everyone is hungry, let's start the feast first."
When the maid heard the queen speak, she thanked her and retreated as if she had been pardoned.
Feng Qingqing realized that she had displeased the Queen, so she stopped talking and sat down obediently.
She felt that the Queen was displeased because she was targeting Concubine Xian and the other two, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
The Queen's expression returned to a gentle state, and she raised her hand and said, "Begin the banquet."
When she raised her hand, she saw Qian Jue, who was wearing a veil and sitting at the back. His temperament was not inferior to that of the prince, so she couldn't help but ask.
"What is that?"
Qian Jue was just about to pick up his chopsticks and eat heartily, so as to avoid being unable to eat later when he wanted to, but he heard this voice as soon as he picked up the chopsticks.
He raised his eyes to look at the Queen, but since she didn't say anything, he felt that she wasn't calling him, so he continued to reach for the braised chicken in front of him with his chopsticks.
[Cheap cousin, you foodie, didn't you realize the Queen was calling you?]
Yu Yiluo found it a little funny.
Qian Jue picked up the braised chicken, lowered her head and quickly lifted her veil to put it in her mouth, then put down her veil and sat upright.
His appearance made the empress vaguely remember the king and queen attending a palace banquet before they entered the palace.
Feng Qingqing realized that the Empress was calling Qian Jue, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother, he is from my son's house."
The Queen was a little surprised and rarely agreed with Feng Qingqing's vision.
"It's from your backyard. Come out and let me see it."
Qian Jue felt everyone was looking at him, so he raised his hand and pointed at himself.
"I?"
The Queen nodded.
Qian Jue put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked to the middle.
"Your Majesty, I am not the concubine of the Dowager Queen. I am just a guest. I am wearing a veil because of the wound on my face."
"Yes, Queen Mother, he is my friend."
After hearing this, the queen couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
She had wanted this man to be Qing'er's legal husband, but it turned out he was just a friend.
Seeing the man eager to distance himself from the matter, it seemed that he didn't like Qing'er.
She stared at Qian Jue and felt that his features were similar to those of the Queen.
He slowly withdrew his gaze, thinking that he just missed the Queen too much, and everyone he saw looked like him.
"Please step aside and take a seat."
The matter was simply revealed, and the empress took a sip of the wine. Feng Qingqing and Minister Jiang looked at each other and stood up.
"Mother Queen, although today is my birthday, you suffered a lot giving birth to me. I will play a song for you."
The Queen smiled and nodded, "Well, it's rare that you have such filial piety."
Feng Qingqing stood up and walked to the center of the platform above. After sitting down, she glanced at the ground and narrowed her eyes.
The two people waiting below heard the sound of the chair moving above, raised their hands and pulled open a square piece of wood, revealing a hole.
"Didn't they say these chickens were meant to entertain guests? Why are you letting us release them now?"
The guard came over with the cage and asked suspiciously.
"Why do you care so much? The princess told us to release the chickens, so we did."
"Listen carefully! When the Queen's zither starts playing, we'll let all the chickens out of this cage."
As they were talking, the sound of a piano rang out. The two of them didn't care about anything else and hurriedly grabbed the chicken from the cage and quickly threw it out through the opening.
…
Feng Qingqing was talking intently when she heard the sound of flapping wings and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Minister Jiang, who was sitting below him, saw something flying out. Without even taking a closer look, he quickly shouted, "May Heaven bless our Li Kingdom! Phoenixes are surrounding the princess. This is an auspicious sign."
As he spoke, he didn't hear anyone's agreement, but instead the Prime Minister's voice was heard.
"Auspicious sign?"
The Prime Minister glanced at Minister Jiang and said, "Could it be that Minister Jiang's eyes are blurry due to old age? He can't even tell the difference between a phoenix and a chicken."
Minister Jiang's face changed as he looked at the things that kept flying out. As if to help her see clearly, one of them pounced directly towards her.
She raised her hand and grabbed it, her expression changing constantly as she looked at the chick in her hand.
How could it be a chicken? What she gave was clearly a phoenix.
Could it be that Feng Qingqing knew her plan and deliberately replaced the phoenix with a chicken?
However, this would embarrass Feng Qingqing herself, and with Feng Qingqing's intelligence, she would definitely not be able to think of the real purpose of her helping her do this.
Chickens were flying everywhere, and chicken feathers and dust were floating in the air.
Feng Qingqing stood up with a gloomy face, looking at the chickens flying around, and stood there in a daze.
