After losing the vest at the beginning, the female general was forced to marry the scheming prince

Chapter 43

Shengping Hall

There are two chairs in the middle of the Shengping Hall, which are the seats of the emperor and the empress.

Ning Youbei sat down behind the first table on the right, and Qu Chu sat next to Ning Youbei.

Qu Chu didn't look at the others, and just poured the wine by himself.

"Ah Chu, drink less. After the banquet starts, there will be many people coming to toast, and you will be able to drink."

Hearing what Ning Youbei said, Qu Chu's drinking slowed down, and he no longer took a sip.

Seeing that Qu Chu was willing to follow his advice, Ning Youbei softened his heart.He personally poured a glass of wine for Qu Chu, "If Ah Chu likes to drink, I will drink more with you in the future."

Qu Chu didn't answer, but the expression on his face softened a little.

Before the banquet was officially opened, the servant reported the arrival of the envoy from the Haiqing Department.

Only then did Qu Chu look up at the entrance of the main hall.

Hai Lizhu was dressed in a red dress and covered her face with a red gauze, and she came slowly surrounded by several envoys.Still the same graceful and graceful, bright and bright.

Hai Lizhu also saw Ning Youbei and Qu Chu, and she walked towards them.

"My lord, General Qu."

Even though his face was covered, Qu Chu could still feel the smile on Hai Lizhu's face when he saw the two of them.After all, they have been walking on the road together for more than a month. Compared with other people, Hai Lizhu feels that the two of them are more intimate.

Qu Chu always had a cold face, but when he saw Hai Lizhu, he still smiled imperceptibly.

Hai Lizhu knew that Qu Chu was serious, so she didn't laugh a few times along the way, so she didn't feel that she was treated coldly.But the officials of the Dayu Dynasty who were watching from the side didn't think so.

They thought Qu Chu was too arrogant!
Hai Lizhu sat down opposite Ning Youbei, and the envoys who came with her also sat down.

You Shizheng

The servant reported the arrival of the emperor and queen.

Qu Chu stood up with the crowd to greet her, but she didn't look up, so she didn't notice the fierce eyes the queen was looking at her.

After the banquet, the emperor said a few words to welcome the envoys of the Haiqing Department, saying that he would like to have a good relationship with the Haiqing Department forever.

The Haiqing Ministry envoy stood up to toast:

"Our Haiqing Department is willing to have a good relationship with the Dayu Kingdom forever, and we will bring the pearls of our department to Yudu, hoping to establish a good relationship with the people of the Dayu Country."

Ning Youbei also took the opportunity to stand up:

"Hai Lizhu is the number one beauty of all the tribes in the west. Brother Huang canceled the draft this year, so why not include Hai Lizhu in the harem?"

The envoy of the Haiqing Department hurriedly said, "It would be an honor for our Haiqing Department if His Majesty can bring Hai Lizhu into the harem."

This is something that has been agreed a long time ago, and now it is just superficial.

Before the emperor spoke, the queen spoke first.

"If you want your majesty to be included in the harem, it depends on whether you have enough qualifications. This veil covers it. Who knows what it looks like? It's not that you say that the number one beauty is the number one beauty."

The queen is really arrogant!
Qu Chu heard the words and looked up at the queen.

The queen was in her thirties, her face was covered with thick powder, and it was impossible to tell whether her facial features were good-looking or not, but sitting next to the emperor, she looked older than the emperor, and her demeanor was not as good as the emperor's.

Qu Chu hadn't looked at the emperor carefully before, but now he realized that the emperor was not bad looking. Although he was not as gorgeous as Ning Youbei, he still had his own charm, which was still a bit seductive.

Thinking of this, Qu Chu calmed down a little for Hai Lizhu. Facing such an emperor, at least Hai Lizhu would not feel disgusted.

However, the emperor's expression at this time was not very happy.

That's right, he didn't say anything, but was squeezed out by the queen, how could he be happy?

If it was normal, Qu Chu would never get involved in these things, but now it is different.

It was her idea to marry Haiqingbu, a political measure, which had a lot to do with the stability of the tribes in the west.

Qu Chu stood up:

"Your Majesty, I have seen Hai Lizhu, and she was indeed extremely beautiful. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful woman in all the tribes in the west. Moreover, Hai Lizhu is the younger sister of the leader of the Haiqing Department, and her status is not comparable to that of everyone in the harem. Not bad.

The minister believes that it is a great thing for the emperor to bring Hai Lizhu into the harem. "

The queen had long disliked Qu Chu, and she didn't know where the bastard came from, so she dared not give her face.

"What does General Qu mean by saying this? How can the status of the younger sister of the leader of a small tribe be compared with the daughters of important ministers of the Dayu Kingdom? Isn't General Qu suspected of collaborating with the enemy?"

It is a great sin for a general to be said to be collaborating with the enemy. Even if Qu Chu is not angry, he will not allow others to slander him like this.

"If I remember correctly, Empress Empress's grandfather was only a seventh-rank school lieutenant in the army. Before Empress Empress became Empress Empress, Duke Wei was only a third-rank official. I really can't see how noble the empress's status is.

Even if the Haiqing tribe is not a very powerful tribe, it is still an independent tribe, like a small country.Hai Lizhu's ancestors have served as the head of the Haiqing Department for more than 100 years, and I think it seems to be more noble than the empress's natal status.

As for the empress saying that I am suspected of collaborating with the enemy, I don't even agree.

I joined the army at the age of 15 to kill the enemy, and it has been 11 years so far. I wonder where the empress was 11 years ago?Are you killing enemies for your country like me? "

It can be said that Qu Chu's words did not save face for the queen at all, and she did not call herself a "subject".

For people like the queen, Qu Chu didn't want to be wronged to call himself a "subject".

After Qu Chu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the audience became very strange.

Those who could participate in this banquet were all officials and family members above the third grade of the Dayu Kingdom. Some of them were friendly with the Queen and the Duke of Wei, while some were against the Queen and the others.

But no matter which side, in such a public place, they would not speak so ruthlessly like Qu Chu, without leaving even a fig leaf.

What Prime Minister Fang is thinking now is:

Before, I only knew that General Qu could fight, but I didn't expect her eloquence to be so good!

Didn't it mean that she was unsmiling and not good at words?It is true that he is not good at words and smiles, but where does he start with this bad words?
But Ning Youbei made no secret of his admiration, he looked at Qu Chu with affection that he himself had never noticed.

The queen was trembling with anger, how dare a little general say that about himself!

She took a hard look at the table:
"Boldly Qu Chu, who gave you the guts to allow you to talk to Ben Gong like this? Do you still have the law of the king in your eyes? Do you still have dignity?"

Qu Chu's expression was still indifferent.

"I have the law of the king in my eyes, and I also have the dignity and inferiority in my eyes, but I respect the emperor, and I am loyal to the emperor!"

This is absolutely true!

But even more disrespectful to the queen!

The Queen was about to say something, Duke Wei stood up.

He gave the Queen a warning look, and said: "Since the Haiqing Department intends to make friends with the Dayu Kingdom, I hope that Your Majesty will accept their kindness and bring Hai Lizhu into the harem."
