Chapter 92: The Misogyny Prince x The Beautiful Female Killer 42

It was half an hour later when the group arrived at the palace banquet venue. The afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the open space of Fengyuan Palace.

Marquis Cheng'an took Mo Xueer to his seat, and the ministers also took their seats one by one.

About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Yue brought Jin Jin Qiao to Fengyuan Palace.

Qin Yue was wearing a dragon robe. His tall stature and handsome face, coupled with the aura of a superior, made the noble ladies blush.

Aunt Qiao was wearing a phoenix robe, and the long hem of the robe was carefully held up by the maids behind her, for fear that the Empress would stumble.

Nanny Gu was left in the Pepper Palace to look after Qin Yao and Qin Yu.

Mo Xueer looked at Aunt Qiao, and even though she was very good at restraining herself, she couldn't help but show a twinge of envy in her eyes.

"The Emperor is here, the Empress is here"

Everyone present knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor! Long live the empress! Long live the empress!"

Qin Yue held Aunt Qiao's hand, passed by the people kneeling on the ground, and after sitting in the first seat, he looked around and said, "Everyone, stand up."

"The palace banquet begins"

The sound of pianos rang out, and the palace maids carried delicious food and fruits and placed them on the tables of the ministers. Because Qin Yue had no concubines in the harem, and those who attended the palace banquet were all high-ranking ministers and their families, the entire Fengyuan Palace was not very crowded.

An ordinary-looking maid secretly slipped a note to Marquis Cheng'an when she was serving him wine.

Marquis Cheng'an's heart skipped a beat, because he knew that his people would not do this unless there was an emergency.

Cheng Anhou placed his hands on his thighs, blocked everyone's view with the table, and slowly unfolded the note.

After reading the note, Marquis Cheng'an's face turned grim. He pursed his lips tightly and couldn't help but frowning slightly.

But he was afraid that others would notice something, so he tried to control his facial expression.

Mo Xueer couldn't help but whispered to Cheng Anhou, "Father, what's wrong? What happened?"

Cheng Anhou looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered, "I'm afraid the people my father sent won't be able to complete the mission."

"The Queen may be pregnant again"

"What?" Mo Xue'er was shocked. "It seems that the emperor really dotes on the queen. She's pregnant again just one year after giving birth to the royal heir."

"Father, what should we do?"

Marquis Cheng'an lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Xue'er, call the maid behind you who is pouring wine for your father."

"It's easier for your daughter. Tell her that since the food in the Pepper Palace cannot be tampered with, then start with the food in the palace banquet."

Mo Xueer nodded gently, called the palace maid over under the pretext of pouring tea, and told Marquis Cheng'an what to say while covering her mouth with a handkerchief.

When the palace banquet was halfway through, Bai Meizhi stood up and bowed to the head of the table, saying, "Your servant Bai Meizhi pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress."

"I have specially prepared a dance and would like to present it to His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress."

Qin Yue looked at Qiao Jinjin's enthusiastic look, smiled, turned around and said, "In that case, let's get ready."

Mo Xueer felt a little annoyed as Bai Meizhi got there first.

Cheng Anhou narrowed his eyes and said, "Xue'er, don't worry. If your father is right, Bai Meizhi will provoke you after she finishes dancing."

Mo Xueer immediately understood what Cheng Anhou meant. After all, Bai Meizhi would never miss any opportunity to embarrass herself.

Bai Meizhi's dance is not particularly outstanding, but it is not too ugly either.

At the end of the performance, Bai Meizhi panted and said to the leader, "I have behaved so badly."

"I heard that Miss Mo also prepared a dance, and said that this dance is unmatched. I guess Miss Mo must have put a lot of thought into it."

Aunt Qiao's eyes lit up for a moment.

"Isn't this a plot from novels? Where there are women, there are always intrigues."

Qin Yue held his forehead in silence and said, "In that case, please ask Miss Mo to get ready."

Bai Meizhi looked at Mo Xueer with pride, which made Mo Xueer think that Bai Meizhi was an idiot even more.

Did Bai Meizhi think she was unprepared for anything? How could that be possible?

Sure enough, after Mo Xueer's opening words, Bai Meizhi's face turned ugly and her face twisted for a moment. She only calmed down after her mother reminded her.

While eating the meal that Qin Yue had carefully prepared for her, Aunt Qiao was watching the performance below. She had no idea that the food she put into her mouth had been tampered with.

However, even if Aunt Qiao knew about this, she wouldn't be worried or afraid. After all, the backlash attribute of the system is not a joke.

But the more Aunt Qiao looked at her, the more unsatisfied she felt. What was that look in Mo Xueer’s eyes?

"Look, mother, how dare you, a little white lotus, covet my man?"

Qin Yue had been taking care of Aunt Qiao while she was eating, so he didn't pay attention to Mo Xueer's dance below. Only after hearing Aunt Qiao's inner thoughts did he turn around and take a look.

Just this one glance made Mo Xueer even more excited, and even pitiful.

After the dance ended, Mo Xueer knelt on the ground, looked at Aunt Qiao carefully and said, "I am sorry for my dishonesty."

Aunt Qiao didn't want to get used to Mo Xue'er, so she calmly put down her chopsticks and said coldly, "Miss Mo, what do you mean by that look? Did I bully you?"

Mo Xueer was secretly delighted, and shrank her shoulders and said, "No, the Queen did not bully her subjects."

If the people present had not been watching, they would have really thought that Aunt Qiao was using her position as queen to teach Mo Xueer a lesson.

Aunt Qiao curled the corners of her lips, lowered her eyes and looked at Mo Xueer and said, "I guess Miss Mo is usually like this, right? She is quite good at pretending to be pitiful."

Qin Yue wanted to scold her, but Aunt Qiao held his hand and stopped him. Since Mo Xueer wanted to play, he should play with her.

Mo Xue'er looked at Qin Yue hesitantly, then shrank her shoulders, as if she was very afraid of Aunt Qiao.

"Your Majesty, how could you miss me so much? I came to the palace to accompany you a few days ago. You should know what kind of person I am."

As soon as Mo Xueer said this, there was a burst of murmurs at the palace banquet.

"Is there such a thing?"

"Could it be that the Emperor has taken a fancy to this Miss Mo and has been reprimanded by the Empress?"

"It doesn't look like that. The Queen doesn't seem like someone who would make things difficult for others."

"That's hard to say. You can only know a person's face but not his heart."

"If you ask me, this Miss Mo is not a good person either. Why did she come to the palace for no reason?"

"But Mo Xue'er seems quite innocent, she probably won't say anything nonsense, right?"

Aunt Qiao was very upset. It turned out that Mo Xueer was waiting here.

The muttering in the palace banquet was interrupted by a sharp look from Qin Yue.

Looking at Mo Xue'er kneeling on the ground, Qin Yue curled the corners of his lips coldly and said, "I heard from the Queen that Miss Mo is a simple person, but now it seems that is not entirely true."

Bai Meizhi's gloating voice rang out, "Oh, it seems that the emperor has never seen Mo Xue'er. What is she trying to do?"
