Chapter 41 I really envy Lord Lu
At this time, the Flower Festival palace banquet had just begun. Emperor Ming and Empress Dowager Liu sat in the seats in the middle, surrounded by the empresses and princes and princesses from various palaces. Below them sat other nobles with their wives and children.
What made Xu Miaoyan even more worried was that the eldest princess actually brought Fang Qianxue with her!
Fang Qianxue had not appeared in the circle of noble ladies for a long time. Today, she suddenly appeared at the palace banquet, and the eldest princess introduced her as her goddaughter. Immediately, many noble ladies surrounded Fang Qianxue, and even princesses and counties talked to her.
When Xu Miaoyan saw Fang Qianxue, her eyes almost popped out.
She grabbed Lu Changqing's arm tightly and asked in horror: "Why is she here?!"
She can make a fool of herself, but she can't make a fool of herself in front of Fang Qianxue!
"The princess brought her here," Lu Changqing looked back and saw Fang Qianxue sitting next to the princess. He felt a little uneasy. "Miao Yan, nothing can go wrong today. The queen has promised that as long as you become the saint of the country, she will grant us a marriage. When the time comes, no one can stop us."
Although the two were talking behind people's backs, King Beining still heard a few words and sneered, "I really envy Lord Lu for being able to enjoy the blessing of having many wives."
Lu Changqing then noticed the King of Beining, and with a red face, he bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
King Beining has been living in his fiefdom and stationed in Mobei for many years. He rarely returns to the capital, but there are many rumors about this man in the capital.
Lu Changqing glanced at him quietly, feeling both humble and disdainful.
As expected of the Mobei God of War, this man had an extremely strong aura, and most people wouldn't dare to look up or look directly at him within ten feet of him.
But deep down, Lu Changqing looked down on King Beining.
So what if he was the God of War in Mobei? He was injured by a female assassin, and he will never be humane in this life. Men, if the most important thing is gone, what future can you talk about? No wonder he said he envied me just now.
Thinking of this, Lu Changqing straightened his back again, but still lowered his head, complaining in his heart: The Queen Mother still wants the Prince of Beining to ascend the throne, so what if he wins the throne? Who will the throne be passed on to?
"Forget it," Xiao Mingzhe impatiently swung the whip in his hand, the sound like the wind and sand in the northern desert, "Xu, do you still want to see this Qilin? If not, I will leave."
Xu Miaoyan couldn't make up her mind yet, and Lu Changqing kept winking at her.
Empress Dowager Liu had just heard Xu Miaoyan's cry, and seeing that there was no movement from this side, an anxious look appeared on her face. Soon, she sent a eunuch to trot over to deliver the message.
"Master Lu, Master Xu, the Queen Mother is urging you to hurry up. Everyone is waiting to see the Qilin beast."
The highlight of today's palace banquet was when Xu Miaoyan tamed the Qilin beast and led it around the venue to open everyone's eyes.
"Miao Yan!" Lu Changqing held her hand and said, "You must not disappoint the Queen Mother, otherwise... I will go in with you."
"Will you accompany me in? Okay," Xu Miaoyan thought for a moment, then looked at King Beining, "But Your Majesty has to go in too. The Qilin beast is still wild, and I... I'm a little scared."
Xiao Mingzhe sneered: "Don't worry, I will take you in and protect you from behind."
After the three of them entered the horse farm, Xu Miaoyan realized how far behind Xiao Mingzhe meant by "behind". She and Lu Changqing had already walked to the door of the stable, but Xiao Mingzhe was still standing behind, slowly looking at the scenery, a full three meters away.
She was worried at first, but then she felt relieved. King Beining was so far away, so she didn't have to worry about him discovering what she had done.
Lu Changqing found that the King of Beining was far behind, and he felt indignant and muttered in a low voice: "A general is so afraid of death, he is not as good as me."
The low roar of the Qilin was heard from the stable, but the sound was much quieter than before. It seemed that the Qilin was at the end of its strength and had no strength to roar after the commotion in the morning.
"Is this the Qilin?" Lu Changqing's eyes lit up when he saw the Qilin for the first time. "It is indeed an ancient auspicious beast, definitely not an ordinary one!"
Although this Qilin was starving to death, it was a divine beast after all. Its eyes were like two golden gems, its breath was as hot as fire, and even its fallen hair was golden.
As he was admiring it, he saw Xu Miaoyan take out a jute paper bag half the size of her palm from her sleeve pocket, as if she wanted to add something to Qilin's feeding trough.
Lu Changqing's blood rushed to his brain, and he asked in shock: "Miao Yan! What are you doing? Are you trying to poison the Qilin beast?"
Why is it different from what he imagined? Miao Yan should have tamed the Qilin by using her spiritual energy to make the Qilin approach her and submit to her, not by drugging her!
