iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 27 The Imperial Forest Hunting Route
Maegor Tower, Queen's Hall.

Queen Cersei sat at the head of the long table, and Jaime and the stewards sat on both sides.

Green was a little interested at first, but he couldn't help being bored and distracted while listening.

"At the recent banquet, Dawn's summer red appeared more than the wines of Qingting Island."

"Yes, summer red is becoming more and more popular."

"Highgarden's open-arm skirt, the ladies of King's Landing are now almost everyone owns one."

"Well, Highgarden's jewelry is also popular with ladies."

"Yes, I heard that Earl Janos bought a large box of Highgarden jewelry in order to please his new lover."

[Earl Janos, full name Janos Sterling, Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Guard (Gold Robe)]

"Which poor girl can stand Genos's frog face?"

"He looks like a barrel."

"Is Genos still collecting golden dragons from his men?"

"Naturally, you can't teach an old dog new tricks."

"There is no way, he is deeply trusted by His Majesty Robert, holding 6000 gold robes."

"It's hard for the little girls."

"He can only hook up with illegitimate daughters. Which legitimate daughter would fall in love with a butcher's son."

"Not necessarily, I heard..."

"You said it yourself, but you just heard it, so it's a rumor."

The stewards' discussion strayed into gossip, and James gave a well-timed light cough.

Green has changed some of his impressions of these colleagues. Listening carefully, there are actually a lot of useful information, and he is also the Queen's fashion consultant.

James said: "The discussion last time continues. Her Royal Highness used to go hunting in King's Landing in the past. The steel gates are used, and this time it cannot be changed."

Everyone fell silent for a while.

After the official meeting started, Queen Cersei said for the first time: "Why don't you speak, are those untouchables still spreading rumors?"

Lancel glanced left and right, and said: "According to the tradition, there will be a lot less trouble. Huan, who is rumored to be spreading, if he rashly changes the route out of the city, it's in his favor, and it will make our Queen Highness bear the stigma."

The corner of Queen Cersei's mouth showed a satisfied arc: "Lancell, continue talking."

Lancel nodded and clenched his fists: "The time is only eight days. My suggestion is to punish the rumormongers severely. Only when the heads are rolling can people understand. The noble queen should not be slandered at will."

From Green's perspective, Lancell's thighs were trembling slightly after speaking.

Is it to cater to Cersei?Or is that actually what Cersei herself meant?
James held opposing opinions: "There are nearly [-] civilians in the entire Queens District. Lancel, how many heads do you think can be killed to stop the rumors? How can the riots that may be caused by the killing be quelled?"

James' gaze was terrifying, and Lancel didn't dare to look directly, avoiding his gaze.

Cersei couldn't hide her disappointment and anger at the performance of James and Lancel.

"By the way, why is that smelly and dirty place called Queens?"

"Yes, yes, it is one of the poorest areas in King's Landing."

In fact, everyone here knows the origin of Queens District, but they just have nothing to say, so as to relieve the tense atmosphere.

Queen Cersei took up the conversation: "I asked the maester, oh, a certain queen of Aegon the Conqueror once drank there a bowl of clean water offered by the untouchables."

"Oh, I see."

"These people are too shameless. The queen drank a bowl of water there and called it the Queen's Quarter. Aegon was also there at the time, so why not call it the King's Quarter."

"The specific truth is not important, it's just that the name is easy to be used by people with intentions."

"Yes, yes, there is a disease spreading in the queen district, but they are pointing the finger at our queen. How dare you say that the queen's unkindness has brought the disease."

"The hunting team in King's Landing...the Queen's carriage must pass through the Queen's Quarter. I'm afraid that it will cause riots, which will not be conducive to the safety of Her Royal Highness, and will even affect the Queen's prestige in King's Landing."

"There will definitely be problems. This time the rumor came suddenly, and it is aimed at Her Royal Highness's hunting in the royal forest."

Cersei turned her head slightly and turned towards James: "My kind Sir James, what can you do?"

Hearing Cersei's words, James frowned: "According to the information I got today, the atmosphere in Queens District is very bad. If there is blood... it is likely to cause a large-scale riot."

Cersei seemed to have lost her patience, unwilling to listen to the so-called excuses, and interrupted: "Tell me the specific method."

James didn't mind Cersei's reaction, and smiled: "Throw some golden dragons, this is the fastest. One or two thousand golden dragons are enough."

One or two thousand golden dragons? !

Green, who had been quiet all this time, moved his ears.

Green found that Cersei's expression was obviously moved, good Lannister.

Green felt that it was time for him to play, for the poor citizens of Kleiber.

Green coughed lightly, attracting attention, stood up, and said to Queen Cersei: "Your Highness, if you take the liberty, I have something to say."

Cersei seemed to value the newly arrived Baron Green, nodded gently, and stretched out her hand to signal to sit down and talk.

"Your Excellency James' suggestion is very good, but I have to remind you that you have ignored their next appetite, or their next appetite."

James squinted at Green and didn't speak.

Didn't everyone say that James has a great chivalry, why does it feel like he is always targeting me!
Green continued: "In fact, I agree with His Excellency Lancel's advice."

Lancell's eyes on Green made Green tremble secretly.

Hearing that Green supported Lancel's decapitation plan, James' eyes became menacing again.

Green imitated James and squinted: "We can't ignore Her Royal Highness's return journey after the royal forest hunt. At that time, will we have to pass through the Queen's Quarter again?"

Everyone nodded slightly.

"Rumours are the first problem, but I think this is the easiest to solve."

No one came out to mock, and everyone showed doubts at the right time.

"It turned out to be a rumor, and it has its own weaknesses. We can use bigger rumors to weaken or even eliminate rumors that are not good for Her Royal Highness."

The affairs officers recalled Green's words, and they all made exclamations of wonder.

Lancel's "Bling Bling" eyes seemed to be fixed on Green: "Sir Green, for example?"

Green smiled at first, and moved his brown eyes towards Lancel: "What's the secret between His Majesty Robert and Duke Jon?"

After 15 years of oppression, Greene, who has proclaimed himself the guardian of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and the Duke of Arryn are "worn to death".

Green blinked his eyes after he finished speaking, and everyone was unanimously thinking about it.

The upright James thought of a lot for a while, as if he was verifying the authenticity of Green's words.

James shook his head, shaking off the strange thought that Green's belt had caused him.

What's more, everyone.

It has to be said that it is politically correct to target Lord Robert and Lord Jon in the Queen's Hall, because Queen Cersei would be happy.

"This is the first step to solve the rumors. We can discuss what kind of rumors to use. I'm just making a metaphor."

OH~ The affairs officers are in high spirits.
