The bustling and magnificent hall was exceptionally quiet at this moment, even the breathing seemed to slow down a bit, and everyone's eyes drifted upwards.
I was afraid that a beautiful corpse would be added to the banquet in the next second.
Jun Ye's strong arms wrapped around Mo Qin's body, and he pinched the girl's broad hands on her slender waist. The girl nestled in his arms looked particularly petite.
He smiled and asked, "Would you like to be my queen?"
Mo Qin was suddenly pulled by him and fell into his arms. Before she could recover, she heard these words.
The heavy and tacky hairpin on her head was still shaking violently, making her feel a little dazed.
Is it a question of whether she is willing or not?
Jun Ye did this in front of everyone without even thinking of giving her a way out.
This person has a very bad heart.
Jun Ye exerted a little force with his arms and lifted the person up a little.
"Why? Don't want to?"
The people below didn't know whether they were frightened or didn't dare to say anything. Jun Ye's soft voice was particularly clear in the spacious hall. Every word was like a hammer hitting everyone's heart, or like a knife falling on their heads.
It is not uncommon for someone to smile and laugh at you one second and be torn apart the next.
Mo Qin put on a fake smile and said, "I am willing. How could I not want to?"
He rejected my proposal not long ago, and now he is doing this again.
Let her be the queen...
Thank you so much.
Jun Ye seemed not to notice the dissatisfaction in Mo Qin's tone, and happily decided on the marriage. Only at the last moment did he seem to remember Jun Chen's previous words.
He openly held his newly snatched queen in his arms and asked Jun Chen, who looked grim:
"My uncle just said he has someone he loves. I wonder whose daughter she is? My uncle is not young anymore, yet he still hasn't married. I am really worried."
Jun Chen stared at the jade steps with a sinister look in his eyes. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. How dare I..."
Although the backup option has been prepared for a long time, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be criticized if it is replaced so quickly.
Therefore, we can only let this go today and make plans later.
But Liang Yubing, who was standing aside, couldn't wait any longer. She interrupted and said:
"Your Majesty, my cousin and I are in love, and I hope Your Majesty will grant us your blessing!"
The ministers were stunned and only just began to discuss in low voices, "This..."
Jun Chen frowned deeply.
He had no intention of marrying Liang Yubing as his principal wife. Right now was the time to recruit people, and he couldn't waste the position of principal wife on one of his own.
Liang Yubing didn't understand all these twists and turns. She only knew that Mo Qin was the queen now.
A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.
She had to secure her place first.
I couldn't help but secretly resent her in my heart. Mo Qin is so lucky. She lost Jun Chen and hooked up with Jun Ye!
She felt better when she thought about Jun Ye's final fate.
Jun Ye was slightly surprised, and a playful smile fell on Jun Chen, as if he was enjoying the show.
"This turns out to be the emperor's uncle's cousin. I thought she was just an unruly servant."
Even if her identity was not revealed, one could tell from her clothes that she was not a palace maid.
Liang Yubing immediately became angry, "You!"
He had just uttered a word when he was held down by the palace maid beside him, and his knees fell to the ground with a bang.
Liang Yubing's face suddenly became distorted and hideous. Just as she screamed in pain, a slap landed on her face.
Snap——
The sound is exceptionally clear.
The veil on Liang Yubing's face also fell off.
"ah!!"
She hurried to pick up her veil and covered her face with her sleeves.
"His Majesty!"
Yun Rongsheng screamed, and only after he screamed did he realize what he had done. His grandfather and father were looking at him in shock, not understanding what was happening to him.
"Your Majesty, today is your birthday, so please don't make a big fuss. Miss Liang is, after all, the cousin of Prince Zunyi, the second daughter of the Liang family, and... Prince Zunyi's sweetheart."
Most importantly, Liang Yubing is also the person he truly loves.
How could he bear to see her being humiliated in public?
Jun Ye's scrutinizing gaze fell on Yun Rongsheng. "Since Rongsheng has asked for mercy on your behalf, I will spare you this time. If it were any other time..."
Although the following words were not spoken, they were already creepy.
He spoke rudely to the emperor and called him "you". Thinking of Jun Ye's methods of torturing people, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Jun Ye smiled, as if he was chatting with Jun Chen.
"Uncle, is she really your sweetheart?"
Jun Chen's teeth were grinding, and he finally agreed to it in front of everyone's gaze.
The happiest person was Liang Yubing. At the same time, she hated Jun Ye, the lunatic. All the surprise and sympathy she had felt before were strangled by her.
Jun Ye did not grant the two of them a marriage directly, but instead looked down at Mo Qin, with expectation in his deliberately gentle tone.
"My Queen, what do you think of this marriage?"
Is it heartache or anger?
But he saw none of it on his queen's face.
He suddenly felt a little tired of this kind of game, so he asked himself:
"I think they are a perfect match. Since they are in love with each other, I must certainly make it happen."
Two marriages were arranged at a banquet. Although there was no bloodshed, there were thrills everywhere.
Mo Zhong's daughter was snatched away by a tyrant to become his empress. How much trust can he still have with Jun Chen? Having lost her position as the principal consort, what will Jun Chen do next? Now that Jun Ye has been crowned empress, is there a chance his own daughter will also enter the palace as a concubine?
Jun Ye didn't stay long. He didn't even watch the performances before he left with his queen in his arms.
No one dared to say anything against the rules. They just drank and ate meat quietly, watched the singing and dancing, and waited for the time to come before slipping away.
Yun Rongsheng looked at the depressed Liang Yubing, and his heart felt as if it was being scraped by a knife and soaked in salt.
He wanted to go forward and comfort her, but he couldn't.
He tried his best to restrain himself, his body bound by invisible shackles, only his heart felt the pain she felt.
But if someone can’t even control his mind, how can he control his body?
-
Leaving the banquet hall, a breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers wafts into the air, and long and intricate corridors connect the houses like a spider web.
It's very quiet outside.
The sun has set in the sky, leaving only patches of orange-red sunset, some as plump as cotton, some swaying like gauze, all trying their best to bloom their last bit of grace.
Several palace maids fell behind Jun Ye, lowered their heads, staring at the ground in front of their toes, not daring to look around at all.
Mo Qin put her hands on Jun Ye's shoulders, not knowing where he was going.
"I can walk on my own."
"Be quiet."
“…”Okay, be quiet!
Jun Ye brought the person back to his palace. The palace was luxurious, but inexplicably there was a feeling of oppression and desolation.
He put her on the bed, leaned over and asked her:
"Are you afraid of me?"
Mo Qin blinked at him but said nothing.
There was no fear in those beautiful eyes like glass. Jun Ye couldn't help laughing. He raised his hand to pinch Mo Qin's chin, looked at her face, and said with disdain:
"Go wash your face! And take off all that ugly stuff on your head."
