Boss, she was forced to be the wife

Chapter 43
With a majestic voice, all the officials got up one after another. Ruan Qingliu knelt at the last position, and she didn't dare to get up when she heard the queen's words. She waited until the person in front of her stood up before slowly getting up.

It's like doing exercises, the bigger the range, the easier it is to attract the attention of others. Ruan Qingliu, who was behind, simply waited for everyone to stand up before standing up silently.

At this moment, a pair of big eyes sneakily observed the empress on the throne.

I saw that the empress was wearing a golden dragon robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and a golden crown on her head. She looked graceful and luxurious.

Although she looked almost forty years old, there were no signs of age on her well-maintained face, only a solemn and steady aura.

Nangong Rong's appearance can be said to be completely inherited from the empress, but the empress's face is more angular in comparison, which can be seen faintly from Nangong Tou's appearance.

Following the footsteps of everyone, Ruan Qingliu quietly took his seat and listened to the Queen's speech before slowly opening the table.

During the banquet, Ruan Qingliu was sitting alone in the corner, and no one offered to toast her, so she was at ease.

Looking around here and there, the main focus is still on the gigolos.

Looking at the men in red and green in the middle of the banquet, twisting their graceful figures and dancing alluring movements, the people around them watched as if they were judging objects.

Ruan Qingliu can only say one thing - this world is wonderful!

It wasn't until the end of the song that everyone was having a harmonious conversation that the superior empress said:
"It's a happy event for all the lovers and family members to gather together today. I'm in a very good mood today."

At this time, a few courtiers took the initiative to stand up, and what they said was nothing more than some high-sounding words, and the purpose was very clear, that is, to please the queen.

But I don't know who was short-sighted. He obviously had a grudge against the Minister of War, and actually mentioned Ruan Qingliu's return to the capital.

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Qingliu, who was gathering dust in the corner, couldn't help shaking his wrist, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled all over him.

You must know that the original owner's reputation in the capital has not been very good. It was already a violation of the emperor's taboo not to be summoned back to the capital. Now the person who mentioned this matter at this juncture is obviously looking for trouble for nothing!
"Ok?"

When the queen heard what the courtier below said, she raised her eyebrows, looked at the Minister of War sitting beside her and asked:

"Ruan Aiqing, is this serious?!"

Ruan Jun, the servant of the Ministry of War, came to the front as soon as he heard the Queen's question, knelt on the ground and said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, my daughter is indeed here for a palace banquet today."

"Oh? Where is Ruan Qingliu?"

When Ruan Qingliu heard the high-ranking queen calling her, how dare she not agree, a grunt came to the bottom of the steps, knelt down on the steps, imitating the appearance of the original owner in memory, and respectfully kowtowed to the queen:

"Long live my emperor!"

The Queen looked down at Ruan Qingliu, neither saying anything nor superfluous words. Ruan Qingliu did not dare to raise his head. She only felt beads of sweat leaving her cheeks, and she couldn't help cursing in her heart——

It seems that this is really accompanying the king like a tiger. It is not easy to be a man or a woman under the emperor's hands!If she can't handle this matter well today, then she, Ruan Qingliu, will be completely ruined!
"Ruan Qingliu, why did you come back from the frontier?!"

Hearing the empress's majestic voice, Ruan Qingliu was so frightened that her legs were going weak, she could only bite the bullet and say:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the ministers are not talented, and I really can't stand the bitter cold over there. I beg Your Majesty not to let the ministers stay in the frontier for my father's sake!"

As soon as Ruan Qingliu finished speaking, he heard a disdainful snort from someone behind him.

Ruan Qingliu knew the memory of the original owner. The father of the original owner Ruan Qingliu was a half-brother of the Queen. He was most obedient and obedient, and the Queen took good care of him.

And it is precisely because of this that Ruan Qingliu is also domineering and ignorant in the capital city.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my daughter really can't stand the bitter cold, please forgive me! Don't let our family be separated!"

At this time, Ruan Jun kowtowed a few times. If others were like this, others might see some pity, but facing Ruan Jun.
Ruan Qingliu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at his cheap wife kowtowing. Something was obviously wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.

Ruan Qingliu knew that she, a cheap old lady, was not a good person. When she was young, she was even more dissolute than the original owner, wandering in the Fireworks Willow Alley, happy and unhappy.

If it wasn't for Ruan Qingliu's father who fell in love with Ruan Jun, Luo Hua would be ruthless, and after being teased by Ruan Jun, she would marry Ruan Jun and give her a child.

It is absolutely impossible for the empress to marry the original owner's father to Ruan Jun, a dude.

Ruan Qingliu's set of things is completely a replica of her old mother when she was young, and now she can already feel the anger of the empress above.

So he quickly stretched out his hand to hold Ruan Jun and said:
"Mom, don't do this."

Then he said to the Queen:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my mother is also eager to love her daughter, and she can't bear to see me suffer."

"Are you suffering? If you are suffering, then wouldn't it mean that Yuge, the daughter of the Duke of Jade Kingdom, has been sent to the eighteenth level of hell?!"

Before Ruan Qingliu finished speaking, a sonorous voice came from behind—it was Wei Guogong.

Facing Ruan Qingliu, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of War, Wei Guogong really didn't have a good impression.

Here tonight, she had already heard that her daughter Wei Yu was pushed into the water, and she is still unconscious!

If it weren't for the palace banquet today and she couldn't leave, she would definitely go to see Eucalyptus right away!

There has been faint news from the Princess Mansion that Ruan Qingliu and Wei Yu pushed her into the water during a dispute!

If this is the case, then Wei Guogong will definitely not let it go, and today she took the initiative to embarrass Ruan Qingliu to give her and the Minister of the Ministry of War a blow!

There is still a long way to go to confront her, the Duke of Wei!

Ruan Qingliu looked at the person in front of her who was a round older than her, and right now she looked at herself with indignation, if she didn't know her, she would have thought she was Yuge's old lady!

But Ruan Qingliu recognized this person through the original owner's memory, and she was Wei Guogong.

That Wei Guogong who has always been disliked by Yu Guogong's mansion.

Today, Duke Jade has been ill for several months, so he did not come to the palace banquet. If she came, she would be the first to rush to compete with Duke Wei.

Just as Ruan Qingliu was about to say something, Ruan Jun, his cheap old lady, held her back, and the faint voice of mosquitoes and flies rang in her ears:

"Silly girl, don't mess with people from the Duke's family! Your mother, I haven't lived enough yet!"

Seeing that Ruan Qingliu didn't speak, and Ruan Jun still had that little boy who couldn't get on the stage, Wei Guogong smiled coldly, and pressed him even more:
"What? The daughter of the Ruan family went to the frontier fortress and was scared enough to pee her pants?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter. The queen just took a sip of tea and had no intention of stopping her from the situation below. She seemed to deliberately allow Duke Wei to do all this.

"Not everyone can go here because of the bitter cold!"

When the people in the hall were waiting to see the joke about the servant of the Ministry of War, they saw a hearty female voice outside the hall, and everyone turned their heads, only to see a woman in a red dress standing outside the hall.

The woman wore a high ponytail, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and there was a deep scar on the corner of her eyebrow. Her whole person looked wild.

Seeing that it was her coming, everyone consciously stepped aside.

This person is Yuge, and she is not polite, she walked to the bottom of the stairs and knelt down to salute the queen:

"Long live my emperor. I came from the frontier all day and night. I am late. Please forgive me. I am willing to punish myself with three cups of wine!"

The queen lowered her head and played with the wrench in her hand, but she looked at the people below with great interest, and signaled to the slave beside her. The man understood, and immediately took out three large bowls filled with wine, and ordered them to serve them. In front of Yuge.

"Okay, today you are the one who punishes yourself, and you are also alone, to catch the wind for you."

Yuge looked at those sea bowls, didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, just picked them up one by one and gulped down every drop.

Then he stood up and said:

"The frontier is bitterly cold, please don't criticize the servants of the Ministry of War, Duke Wei shouldn't be aggressive on this good day, right?"

The Duke of Wei was choked by a junior, and although he looked bad, he didn't say anything else.

Everyone knows that Yuge, the young master of the Yu Kingdom, is born with supernatural powers. He was able to carry a tripod at the age of nine, and went to the battlefield at the age of 13. At the age of 15, he asked himself to guard the border between the Southern Kingdom and the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Xuanyuan Kingdom is good at building weapons and fighting.

After Yuge went there, he repeatedly defended against Xuanyuan Kingdom's large and small attacks, defending the frontier towns in the southern country, not to mention capturing several of them back.

This stay lasted for ten years. When Zhou Ang and Wei An were enjoying the glory, wealth and power in the capital city, Yuge already knew the strategy of risking life and death, and knew the dangers of people's hearts.

And Duke Jade did not relax for a moment in Kyoto City. Whether they were merchants or petty officials, they all spoke surprisingly well of Duke Yu.

One is in the capital city to pave the way, and the other is to expand the frontier. The mother and daughter have a clear division of labor.

But relying on the contacts accumulated before, once Yuguogong went to Yuge to inherit the Yuguogongfu, he could still beat Zhou Ang and Wei An.

Wei Guogong was very jealous of her, but he couldn't say anything in front of the queen.

"Well, I know that all the Aiqings have good intentions. Ruan Aiqing doesn't need to be so nervous. Yuge came back at the right time. Today, the flowers are full, the moon is full, and the whole family is happy, I will always think of those memories from before."

Everyone watched Her Majesty sink into memories, and knew that the most important thing for the Empress was the daughter Nangong Rong who was born to her and the Empress. She was raised by the Empress since she was a child. Horseback riding and archery were all taught by the queen herself.

But at this time Nangong Rong was confined in the Princess Mansion.

In such a contradictory situation, which courtier would dare to speak up easily, I'm afraid it's a person who can't say that losing his official position is a minor matter, but losing his life is a major matter.

"Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, after the flowers are full and the moon is full, and the family is reunited, I will go to the princess's mansion tonight to attend the banquet. I see that the princess misses you very much. Why don't your majesty release the princess's confinement and see you again, so that you can relieve your grief!"

As soon as Ruan Qingliu said these words, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and Ruan Jun almost fainted. He thought that he would have nothing to do at this banquet, but he didn't expect that his worthless daughter was even more stupid than him. Heart!He was so brave that he dared to mention the princess!

After Ruan Jun married her husband, she still didn't change her flirtatious character, plus she didn't care about things, Ruan Qingliu's father begged the queen sister for his official position.

Since then, Ruan Jun has been "invited" into the palace by Her Majesty the Empress every now and then, and after a series of teachings, Ruan Jun will fight with each other when he sees the Empress, as afraid as a rat seeing a cat.

At this time, the Queen was really like a cat, staring at Ruan Qingliu with sharp eyes for a long time, and her whole body was numb when she saw Ruan Qingliu.

I had no choice but to comfort myself silently - this is all fake, fake, fake, she can't see the Queen's eyes.

Even though he was pretending to be calm, his clothes were already soaked through.

One of the tasks Nangongrong gave her today was to speak for her at the court banquet, trying to get Nangongrong's confinement released.

Ruan Qingliu really didn't expect that she would receive such a difficult task just after she came here, and she would really risk her life just to hold her thigh.

Fortunately, the queen just looked at Ruan Qingliu sharply for a while and didn't say anything about dragging him out and killing him with a stick.

The queen lowered her eyes, seemed a little unhappy, then opened her thin lips and said:
"Oh? The lonely princess, you already knew you were wrong?"

Ruan Qingliu knelt down again at this time, and said solemnly:

"I dare not speak in vain. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can summon the princess here now. Her Highness the Princess has already realized her mistake, and she misses Her Majesty very much. Everything I said is true, Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Ruan Qingliu kowtowed her head to the ground as she said this. As soon as she said this, it meant that the family of the Minister of War belonged to the captain and the princess, and there was no way back for her.

Everyone in this court was afraid of the Queen's coercion. Since the day Nangong Rong was banned, no one dared to mention this matter to the Queen in person, so the matter was shelved.

At this time, when they encountered such a person who was not afraid of death and rushed forward, everyone opened their eyes to see Her Majesty the Queen's reaction.

The queen looked at Ruan Qingliu for a while, then suddenly laughed and said:
"Ruan Aiqing, when did your girl become so brave to speak up? It seems that this trip to the frontier was not in vain!"

"Back to Your Majesty, my lord. My lord."

Ruan Junchen didn't say a word for a long time, and the Queen didn't wait for her. Then she looked at Ruan Qingliu and said:
"Get up, I believe it. Ronger is willing to let you spread the word, because he trusts you, and he really knows that he is wrong."

"Today is a good day. The confinement of the princess mansion will be lifted tomorrow."

Ruan Qingliu stood up tremblingly with Her Majesty's pardon, and only then did she feel shivering all over her body.

He looked up and saw that Her Majesty's face was all right, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

If you understand this matter in your heart, it is considered to be - it is done!
