Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 158 Mrs. Ze

Que Yu slowly walked to the main seat at the front, and leaned back with his chin propped lazily.Although it's just a very casual movement, the coercion in it cannot be ignored.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and all the aristocratic families sat in their seats, not daring to make any noise.After all, they still knew a little about His Highness King Qin's methods.

The young man on the main seat didn't seem to feel the weird and quiet atmosphere, the corners of his mouth curled up, flirtatiously, "Today is my king's birthday, everyone can come here in spite of your busy schedule, it is also giving me enough face. It's just an ordinary banquet, you can do whatever you want."

Many masters of aristocratic families could only hold up their wine glasses with a half-smile, raised their hands to toast their colleagues, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Many girls in the boudoir saw Que Yu's eyes and just didn't look at them, they couldn't help feeling anxious.They dressed up carefully for two hours, but they didn't even look at each other, so what's the point of them coming over in such a hurry.

Seeing that all the aristocratic families became timid because of Que Yu's arrival, Meng Yanxi lowered his head and smiled.Although he brought a bridge to establish a connection with Prince Qin's mansion, but when he saw himself, he shrank and dared not move. So what is the value of this bridge?

Some ladies in the boudoir are impatient and want to attract the attention of the young people but dare not. Some girls in the boudoir have been flirting secretly because of their prettier faces than others, but it is conceivable that they will definitely fail.

The young man didn't know what he was thinking, he just raised his chin and turned his head to look into the distance boredly, the young lady in the seat didn't even look at him.

Yi Xingke couldn't help sighing when he saw the forbearance of those ladies in the boudoir who were furious but didn't dare to vent their anger.The person was brought here, but the person concerned didn't look at it, what else could those aristocratic families do?
Some aristocratic families seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. One of the elders of the aristocratic family stood up and said with a smile, "Today is His Royal Highness King Qin's birthday. I hereby congratulate His Highness King Qin and wish His Highness King Qin a happy year."

Everyone looked at the young man on the main seat, and found that the young man was still unresponsive, and didn't even bother to turn his face around.

The old man of the aristocratic family who got up to celebrate the new year couldn't hold back for a moment, but he could only continue with a smirk, and then said: "To congratulate His Royal Highness King Qin on his birthday, I present a Donghai Night Pearl. I hope His Highness will not dislike you."

The people in the seats couldn't help but feel pained by this, no wonder they dared to be the first to stand up and touch their heads. It turned out that they had prepared the East China Sea Night Pearl as a gift.

There is much land in Beishuo and few seas.To get the Donghai Yeming Pearl, one must spend a lot of money to buy one. It is a rare imported product, and sometimes you may not be able to buy one if you want to buy it with money.This rare treasure is not available to everyone.

The young man finally reacted when he heard the words, and smiled at the standing master, "Master Lu really put a lot of thought into congratulating the king on his birthday. This East China Sea Night Pearl is a priceless treasure. Is this given to the king?"

The corner of Master Lu's mouth twitched slightly, and his heart ached very much. He finally got such a one, so of course he didn't want to give it away.But in order to allow his daughter to enter the Qin Palace, he had to sacrifice his darling.

"It's the prince's birthday, so I naturally have to offer my best respect to the prince, isn't this also my duty? Today is the auspicious day of the prince's birthday, so I am willing to offer it."

"Since Master Lu sincerely gave it to me, is there any reason for me to refuse it? Then present the treasure." The young man said aloud with his lips curled up.

"Yes." Master Lu replied in a low voice, "But the Ye Mingzhu is currently being kept in the hands of my daughter, how about asking my daughter to present it to the lord?"

"It turned out to be in the hands of Miss Lu's family." The young man raised his eyebrows as he looked at the beautiful woman who bowed her head in embarrassment.

Miss Lu's heart was also very flustered at the moment. Seeing the young man looking at her, she felt as if a deer was bumping into her heart.She naturally knew that her father wanted to dedicate her to King Qin, and she herself was willing.Ever since she saw that handsome face, she has fallen deeply and cannot extricate herself.So I agreed with my father's approach, and wanted Qin Wang to see her demeanor, so as to keep her in Qin Wang's mansion.

Thinking of the happy life in Prince Qin's Mansion, Miss Lu's heart can't help but surge.The eyes of the other ladies in the boudoir looked at Miss Lu's family full of jealousy, but it was because the family was rich, relying on their own good looks, what's the big deal.

"In that case, let the Miss Lu family present it."

Hearing the low and magnetic voice ringing in her ears, Miss Lu stood up gracefully, picked up the wooden box containing the luminous pearl on the table, and walked towards the young man slowly like a lotus growing, wanting to put her most beautiful Leave it to the youth.

The other ladies in the boudoir were even more jealous, but they didn't expect His Royal Highness Qin Wang to really agree.If I had known that they would also prepare a luminous pearl at home, maybe they would be the ones who could get in touch with His Highness King Qin at close range.

Miss Lu's family enjoys the envious gazes of the ladies in her boudoir, as if walking to the young man under the stars.Slowly opened the wooden box, revealing the huge luminous pearl inside, and the surrounding area immediately brightened like day.

Everyone at the banquet saw that it was still such a big one, so they knew that it must have cost a lot of money, no wonder the master of the Lu family stood up so confidently.With such a valuable treasure, he naturally has confidence in his heart.

The master of the Lu family couldn't help but feel proud, it took him a lot of effort to get it.It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Beishuo is only this big, and there is not even one in the imperial palace.After thinking about it, if the Lu family can establish a connection with the Prince Qin's mansion, wouldn't the Lu family be more confident in the subsequent battle to seize the heirloom, and be able to use this to make a fortune?
Que Yu looked at the Ye Mingzhu in the wooden box. He was slender and straight, and his knuckle-boned fingers lightly twitched. After looking at it for a while, he praised, "It really is a treasure."

The father and daughter of the Lu family felt at ease in an instant, and the Lu family in the Prince Qin's Mansion had settled down.

But the praise on the young man's face has not faded away, and the evil in the corner of his eyes appeared in an instant, "This treasure is good, but the person is too ugly." Then he looked at the master of the Lu family, "This king accepts this treasure. Master Lu should be taken away, so as not to stain the king's eyes."

The master of the Lu family was stunned for a moment, and he refused so simply.The so-called cannibalism is short-mouthed and soft-handed when taking people. His Highness King Qin took what he wanted to take, but returned the person.

The other people were also a little surprised. They thought that the Lu family would be safe in the Qin Palace, but they were turned down by this method.At the same time, I feel a little rejoiced, fortunately they are not the first.Originally, I wanted to use the Lu family to test the waters, to see if His Highness King Qin got along well.

Now that the answer has been obtained, His Royal Highness King Qin is more difficult to get along with than they imagined.

Miss Lu's family also felt aggrieved instantly, and the fingers holding the wooden box were slightly bent.She is not ugly, although she is a bit ugly compared to Que Yu, but she can't insult people like this.

The other ladies in the boudoir looked over with sarcasm, even though the family was rich and good-looking, His Royal Highness King Qin still looked down upon her.But this Miss Lu family is already good-looking among the many girls in the boudoir, why is His Royal Highness King Qin still so disgusted, could there be someone more beautiful than Miss Lu family?

"What is the meaning of His Royal Highness King Qin? The beauty of the little girl is considered to be the best among many young ladies. Has His Royal Highness King Qin ever seen someone who is more beautiful than a little girl?" Miss Lu looked at the young man in front of her, and said aggrievedly.

Originally, she was still a little scared, but who knew that she was insulted like this.For a girl who has always been a victor in appearance, how can she tolerate this?
Que Yu didn't feel that he was talking too much, so he turned his face away from Miss Lu's family and said, "I've seen someone with better looks than you, and your looks simply can't catch my eyes."

"Then where is this person now?" Miss Lu asked.

She didn't believe that there was someone more beautiful than her. His Royal Highness Qin Wang must be lying to her, and he said so in order not to let her enter Qin Wang's mansion.

"His Royal Highness, why don't you let me open your eyes." The master of the Lu family said next to him.

The master of the Lu family was also very angry. He had already taken out the treasure of Donghai Yemingzhu, but he was still rejected.And still without hesitation, there was no tactful rejection at all.I was insulted in my heart, so I naturally wanted to get it back.

A dangerous aura flashed in Que Yu's eyes, the Lu family really took it lightly, and dared to press him.But if he gets the benefits he wants because of this, it's okay, and he doesn't mind.

"Kong Zhong, don't you hurry up?" the young man said suddenly.

Butler Kong was taken aback by these words, "What? Your lord."

The corners of the young man's mouth curled up, as if he had thought of something, his eyes were full of romance, and there was a hint of tenderness in his usual magnetic voice.

"Go and invite Mrs. Ze, my king's wife, over here."

Madam Ze?What Madam Ze?Is there a wife in Prince Qin's Mansion?

But after only a moment of daze, Kong Butler understood in his heart.There is only one woman in Prince Qin's mansion, isn't that Mrs. Ze?

"Yes, my lord." Butler Kong promised to leave.

Because Butler Kong had to take care of the banquet, and because he was old and his legs were bad, Qi Ze's yard was quite far away, so he could only send an ordinary servant there.

When the servant heard that he was going to invite Mrs. Ze, he was also puzzled.But I also know that there is only one woman in Prince Qin's Mansion, so it is absolutely right to find a woman.

He could only fly to Qi Ze's courtyard with a sword in his hand, walked outside the door, and saluted: "Madam Ze, please go to the front yard, the prince has summoned you."

Qi Ze's hand, which was flipping through the book, frowns and raises his eyes to look at the servant who is respectfully saluting.

Candy next to him also looked at the servant with doubts.

Looking at the servants outside, Qi Ze didn't know what to say for a while.Madam Ze?Are you talking about her?Remembering that before Que Yu asked the people in the palace to call her "Miss Ze", now there is another "Mrs. Ze".And she is the only woman in the palace, so you don't need to think about it to know that you are talking about her.

But what did Que Yu's birthday ask her to do?Que Yu was forced to go to Southern Chu due to the struggle for imperial power, and now that he has returned, the political situation in Beishuo has also undergone considerable changes.It is understandable that those aristocratic families took the opportunity to put people in the Qin Palace to consolidate their power.

So Que Yu used her as a shield, trying to keep those women out.After all, it is really not a good thing to marry a daughter of an aristocratic family who will not change her mind, and it is very likely that she is the other party's undercover agent.But relying on Que Yu's strength, it is more than enough to refuse the daughter of the aristocratic family to marry into the Prince Qin's mansion. Does she need to come forward?
"No." Qi Ze said coldly.

The servant was surprised for a moment, not knowing why he refused.After thinking for a while, I could only say: "Madam Ze, please don't embarrass the younger one. The younger one can only obey the order of the prince. I hope Madam Ze will understand."

Tangtang blinked and looked at Qi Ze with big eyes, as if she understood something in her heart.

Listening to the servant talking about Mrs. Ze, Qi Ze suddenly put down the book in his hand, "I am not Mrs. Ze, let alone a concubine of Duke Qin's mansion. If His Highness Duke of Qin needs a woman, he can find someone else, not me."

"But... there is only Miss Ze in Prince Qin's residence. So..." the servant said with difficulty after a moment of consideration.

Candy also looked at Qi Ze with anxious and pleading eyes.

So let her come forward as a shield?Hearing the servant call her back to "Miss Ze", Qi Ze felt a little better.

In fact, as a friend, she is also willing to help, but if she comes forward as Que Yu's concubine, then forget it.She is also used to being a man, so asking her to appear as a delicate woman is really embarrassing her in an unusual way.

"I won't go." Qi Ze re-opened the book and refused.

"This..." The servant was speechless for a moment.

Candy also looked at Qi Ze expectantly, pouted her small mouth, and her bright eyes were shining brightly.But seeing Qi Ze not looking at her, just flipping through the book in his hand, the servants outside the door were also at a loss for a while.

After looking at Qi Ze for a long while, Tang Tang suddenly jumped down from the twig, took Qi Ze's hand and dragged him out of the house.At the same time, she kept looking at Qi Ze with grievances, hoping that Qi Ze could go to the front yard.

Looking at the little hand on his arm, Qi Ze was also a little dazed.What did Tangtang drag her to the front yard? When did Tangtang help Que Yu?Thinking that Candy is the granddaughter of Butler Kong, helping Que Yu seems to be a matter of course.But Qi Ze really didn't want to go, and he was still thinking of refusing, but he saw Candy's big and round eyes shining with desire, looking at him with pouting lips.

If he wanted to refuse for a moment, he couldn't say anything, and Qi Ze hated himself for being too soft-hearted.In desperation, I had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, Candy, can't I go?" Please don't look at her with that kind of aggrieved eyes like a poor puppy, although she doesn't know why Candy is wronged.

Candy immediately burst into tears when she heard the words, her eyes shone brightly, and she pulled her to walk even faster.

After a while, Qi Ze was dragged to the front yard.Seeing the packed crowd, including many women, all the women looked at the young man in the chief seat with gleeful eyes, and she knew that this was a tough battle.

Que Yu looked at the cold woman who was slowly approaching, and Candy behind him still had a happy smile on his face, so he knew what was going on.

This little girl would definitely not come over obediently, and he never expected her to come over on her own initiative.But that doesn't mean she can't come, he can't ask for foreign aid.Kong Zhong's little granddaughter really went on the road, and the little desserts she usually gave were not in vain.

Looking at Que Yu who was looking at him with raised eyebrows, Qi Ze felt helpless for a moment.Forget it, they have already been pulled over by candy anyway.And today is Que Yu's birthday, so it's her friend's help.

After all, she is a native of Southern Chu, so she cannot show her face in front of many Beishuo aristocratic families. It would be bad if she is recognized later in the Southern Chu court hall.

So Qi Ze asked Steward Kong for a veil, and walked from the seat to the frivolous young man whose mouth curled up.When walking, Qi Ze also took as small steps as possible, his eyes drooping slightly, making himself more like a woman.

When everyone saw the cold woman approaching slowly, surprise appeared in their eyes, and they were speechless for a moment.No wonder the King of Qin doesn't want Miss Lu, what more Miss Lu wants with such a beauty.Although I only saw a pair of eyes, the temperament exuding from the whole body was not comparable to that of ordinary women. The face under the veil must be so touching.

All the ladies in the boudoir looked at this woman in indigo and thought of the one they saw on the street that day.This temperament is no worse than that of the noble lady. The lady from which family she was originally thinking of is so elegant and refined.Unexpectedly, it was King Qin's concubine, the man and woman they always wanted to marry in their hearts, His Highness King Qin really had a high opinion.

And the dress on her body should be the latest model of Ya Yunzhu a few years ago. I just heard that the dress was sold a few days ago.Originally thinking about who would buy such old-fashioned clothes, I couldn't help but sneer.I didn't expect her to wear it with an unexpected fit, as if it was made by nature, exuding her own charm from the inside to the outside.

Meng Yanxi in the seat was stunned, it turned out that the girl on the street that day was Que Yu's concubine.After looking carefully, I found that the clothes on her were somewhat familiar. Isn't this the Ya Yunzhu clothes he bought?Then this girl is the Nanchu girl that Que Yu brought back from the border.

Yi Xingke also stared blankly at the woman for a while, and finally came back to his senses, turned to Meng Yanxi and asked, "Yanxi, don't you think this girl looks familiar?"

"That's right, it looks familiar." Meng Yanxi stared at the woman and replied, otherwise he would not have stretched out his hand to take off the veil to find out what happened on the street, but he was choked by the man. .

"But why can't I remember where I saw her?" Yi Xingke wondered, "I'm sure I've definitely seen her, especially..." He looked up and looked at the familiar eyes carefully, "Those eyes."

Meng Yanxi also looked at those eyes, "It's just that those eyes are so familiar, I always feel like I've seen them before, but I can't remember them at the moment." Then he looked at Shang Lu behind him and asked: "Shang Lu, this Do you know the girl? You must have been there when Yelan took this girl back to the palace. "

Shang Lu just glanced at the woman and shook his head expressionlessly.He really wanted to say it, but he didn't know if the two in front of him could accept the reality, so he didn't say it.

Seeing this, the two puzzled people didn't feel at ease. Usually, Shanglu was expressionless and taciturn.They just thought that Shanglu really didn't know, and no matter how familiar they were, she was still a girl.They haven't had contact with such a girl yet, so they should just be supercilious.

The father and daughter of the Lu family were even more stunned. At first they thought it was Qin Wang's excuse, but they didn't expect that there was such a beautiful woman.

Miss Lu's family was even more jealous. She was already very good-looking among many girls in the boudoir, but this one's demeanor was obviously better.Especially the all-encompassing atmosphere, although not dignified, but those cold eyes seem to be able to see through everything, unusually bright, but not sharp, some are just calm.Just standing there quietly, the radiance of the bright moon on her body seems to have covered the stars in the sky, so that everyone can only see her, and can't help but feel ashamed.

Que Yu looked at the woman and smiled.Little girl, I won't let you go so easily tonight.
