I am Feng Jun

Chapter 331 331. Don't Kneel!
"How much has it increased?"

Gu Qianqiu knelt down on the mat dignifiedly, with a slight smile on her lips, nodding in agreement with the greetings from the person next to her, but she asked silently in her heart.

【one thousand and three】

Gu Qianqiu felt a little melancholy, "It's a little little!"

Not long ago, she was deducted [-] yuan, how could the increase be so slow!
【It's good to have it, you didn't even look at what you did】

It's just to report a letter, what more bicycles do you want!

"Then what can I do? The hero is so capable, so he came up on his own, but in the end, he was hugged by a princess. I made it happen, can't we share more?"

【That one thousand is a lot】

"Where did the last three hundred come from?"

Just as Gu Qianqiu asked, she found the answer before Ah Huang answered.

A high-pitched voice of "Emperor Dowager Arrives" broke the silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes turned to the vermilion gate in front of the hall.

Two people slowly walked in from the hallway in front of the hall, and the two black figures who were close to each other just stepped into the hall door and broke into the sight of everyone.

The girl with a tall figure and the young man with an alluring posture are wearing gorgeous clothes that complement each other. Even though the wide sleeves cover them, you can still vaguely see the two hands that are hooked together.

The two people who are perfectly matched walking side by side are a natural picture scroll, beautiful and moving.

In the silent hall, the gasps of many people could be vaguely heard.

Most of those noble ladies and young masters who just saw Shen Ci dressed in red in the imperial garden couldn't hide their inner surprise.

Can't help but have some doubts, the person walking with His Royal Highness Xi is the extremely flirtatious Second Young Master Shen just now?
Shen Ci's embarrassment after falling into the water is still in their minds.

But now, seeing that noble and arrogant young man, his embarrassed appearance gradually blurred, and they kept doubting in their hearts:
It's just taking off a makeup and changing a suit of clothes, does it have such a big impact on a person's temperament?
Gu Qianqiu looked at the two figures who walked gradually along the red carpet in the hall with the same pace.

Her attention was all on the two hands hooked together, and she blinked a few times, trying to figure out where the three hundred points came from.

Normally, there should be a lot of points for holding hands, but she didn't participate in it, so it was greatly reduced.

This can't help but make Gu Qianqiu feel melancholy again.

Can't help but the male protagonist is capable, and the female protagonist is also quite capable, so you can hold the beauty's hand without her assisting?

She really is a mature heroine, but this hinders her from earning points.

There is a world of difference between the C position points and the mixed points!

The two people who were waiting for everyone didn't know the melancholy in Gu Qianqiu's heart, so Mu Yuanxi led Shen Ci to the front of the hall without looking sideways.

It wasn't until the bottom in front of the white jade platform that she reluctantly let go of Shen Ci's hand, which was as smooth as porcelain, and squeezed the warmth still in that palm, wanting to salute and say hello.

Shen Ci rubbed his wrist, and rolled his eyes helplessly. Although he walked along the way and attracted the attention of many people, those were just a foil to him.

He was still competing with Mu Yuanxi, but he didn't care about those gazes.

But now in front of the hall, Mu Yuanxi suddenly let go of his hand, and Shen Ci raised his head to look at the person on the high platform.

The phoenix eyes were facing the eyes of the empress in gorgeous clothes on the golden throne in the middle of the high platform. The empress fixedly stared at the people below the stage, and Shen Ci felt a little strange in that look.

"My son has met the mother emperor and father queen."

Mu Yuanxi's cold voice sounded beside him, and Shen Ci wondered if he should say something symbolically.

After all, the one in front of me is the empress, the supreme ruler of this dynasty, who holds the power of life and death, what if she drags herself out and beheaded if she disagrees?
Thinking of this, Shen Ci helplessly lifted the hem of his clothes, and when he was about to express his intentions, he suddenly heard a somewhat hasty and shrill voice on the high platform.

"Don't kneel!"

"???"

Shen Ci lifted the hem of his clothes halfway, but was stopped just like that, and his brows were slightly frowned.

What does this mean?
Although I don't want to, but shouldn't it be a courtesy or a normal life?

What does 'not allowed' mean?
Do you dislike Grandpa's gift?

"His Majesty."

Lu Fengyuan, who was on the lower right of Mu Lianya, kept his face fixed, and whispered a word, but his eyes would inadvertently catch the plain Shen Ci in the audience. Compared with the coquettishness in the afternoon, this familiar face made people He couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Mu Yuanxi had also got up, stood beside Shen Ci, looked up at Mu Lianya who looked a little lonely, and was about to speak, but Shen Ci jumped ahead.

"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"

Shen Ci tilted his head and asked, but saw that Mu Lianya on the high seat turned her head and chuckled when she came back to her senses, and there was some melancholy in her words.

"I will save you from kneeling, okay?"

Shen Ci licked his lips, without the slightest sense of awe, "Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but I don't know if it's just this time, or all of them?"

Of course he'd be happy to be able to be rude in an open and aboveboard manner!

"Everything." Mu Lianya said loudly, "I will spare you all the etiquette. From now on, no matter who you meet, you don't have to salute."

Shen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Oh, then thank you, Your Majesty."

I don't know why, but it's...no loss.

Seeing that Shen Ci was so insincere in thanking her, Mu Lianya didn't care about it, she just said it to the two people in the audience.

"Sit down, it's time."

"Yes." Mu Yuanxi nodded, and then took Shen Ci to sit in the first place below.

There were originally two separate tables, but under Mu Yuanxi's gaze, Lu Ai clearly merged the two tables together.

And during this process, Mu Lianya turned her head to look at Shen Yinchu who had already been sitting on the seat below, her eyes gradually became complicated.

Shen Yin first noticed the Queen's gaze, and met her, a faint wry smile flashed on his lips.

She may be the only one who knows why Mu Lianya was so excited just now and refused to let Shen Ci kneel down.

Jiang Ni's kneeling back then was a farewell, and since then he has never stepped into the palace again.

As for Mu Lianya, the last time she saw him was at his funeral.

Since then, the relationship between Shen Yinchu and Mu Lianya, who had already been on thin ice, has become intolerable.

Also later, under the waning time, the two tacitly buried those things gradually, and maintained the superficial monarch and ministers between each other.

In fact, everyone remembers it very clearly.

And Shen Ci's movement of lightly lifting the hem of his clothes just now easily opened the dusty memory in Mu Lianya's heart, and made her subconsciously speak out in front of all the officials to stop her.

She didn't want to see that dazzling scene a second time.

Even if she clearly knew that Shen Ci was not him, she didn't want to see that face continue to kneel in front of her and say goodbye.

Although this move is not in accordance with the etiquette, it is not a big deal for Mu Lianya, as an empress, to want to avoid a person's courtesy. Although everyone does not understand the reason, they will not find fault.

But Gu Lihuan, who is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, doesn't think so. There are not no precedents for exempting from courtesy, but there must be a reason. How can this queen be self-willed and think she can stand it, and immediately wants to stand up and refute.

It was Gu Qianqiu who had sharp eyes and quick hands, and pulled back Gu Lihuan who was half standing up, blocked Gu Lihuan's movements, and also made Na Qingle unfold the imperial decree in his hand, making Gu Lihuan lose the opportunity to write the letter.

Gu Qianqiu put on a serious look on her small face, listening to the inexplicably rising points in her head.

She found that she seemed to have found other ways to earn points.
