iron throne of ice and fire

Chapter 55 The Disliked Green 3
Queen Cersei patted Princess Messiah on the back.

Queen Cersei's eyes were a little distracted, and the cheers outside the carriage made her fall into a long memory.

........................

When she emerged from the great sept of Baelor hand in hand with young King Robert Baratheon, the crowd cheered just as it did today.

Thousands of people had come to King's Landing to bless her union with King Robert, and there was more pomp than ever in the square, all the women in their best clothes, and half the men with their children on their shoulders.

The tall and heroic Robert whispered in her ear that everyone loved her, and Cersei, who put on the queen's crown, tried to fall in love with Robert, and Cersei was ready to be queen with peace of mind.

The day Cersei Lannister married Robert Baratheon, the day she won all the women of Westeros!

However, Cersei Lannister's good mood did not last long.

The same bed on the wedding night, Cersei Lannister, who was pressed under her body, endured the smell of wine from Robert's entry into her body, but afterwards she heard Robert whispering Lyanna's name in her ears.

Lyanna Stark was once Robert Baratheon's fiancée. For the arrogant Cersei, Robert Baratheon's behavior is absolutely unforgivable.

The living Lyanna took away Prince Rhaegar, whom she had a crush on, and the dead Lyanna stole the heart of her new husband, Robert. Cersei felt that she was Lyanna's defeated opponent, and Lyanna's name became her shame!

How can the lioness Cersei Lannister, who has always wanted to compete with men since she was a child, be defeated by a woman?
The most hateful thing is that Lyanna has passed away, and she hasn't been able to seek revenge!

Cersei couldn't swallow her anger.

The only time Robert Baratheon got Cersei Lannister wet was on their wedding night.

Originally, Robert Baratheon should have been wiped out at that moment.

........................

Queen Cersei's palm clenched slightly.

"Mother?"

Princess Myrcella seemed to have noticed Cersei's strangeness, she rolled her eyes suspiciously, her little face was full of worry.

Queen Cersei withdrew her thoughts.

"I'm fine, Myrcella, pay attention to your manners, and always remember your princess status."

After hearing Queen Cersei's words, Myrcella immediately adjusted her posture obediently, her small face slightly raised her small chin "proudly".

Queen Cersei nodded, a satisfied smile on her face.

........................

In an open area outside the Iron Gate of Junlin City, a large group of people had already gathered, and the flags of various families were fluttering in the wind.

When the carriage the queen was riding in stopped, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone saluted in the direction of the carriage.

Naturally, Queen Cersei would not receive the noble ladies participating in the Royal Forest Hunt next to the carriage.

A large tent has already been set up here to facilitate the queen to meet the ladies.

The distance from the carriage to the tent was less than [-] meters, and they were all covered with wine-red carpets that Queen Cersei liked.

These rugs were supplied by a King's Landing rug merchant named Petrie.

What Green is looking for is the number of uses, so the content of the transaction he talked to the carpet merchant Petrie is also the use price, not the purchase price.

Although it was the first time for Petrie to do this kind of transaction, he had also seen similar transaction methods, so the transaction was concluded very smoothly.

According to the content of the transaction, Petrie will drive a carriage full of carpets with his hands and lay carpets in advance at the place where Queen Cersei is staying.

After the royal forest hunt is over and he returns to King's Landing, Petrie will not only be able to earn fees for using the carpet from Green, but the ownership of the carpet will still belong to him.

As for the carpet that Queen Cersei stepped on, what Petrie will do with it in the future, Green will no longer care.

........................

It is common for nobles in Westeros to lay carpets in their houses, but paved roads in the wild are generally very rare.

It's not a question of waste, it's just that this kind of atmosphere has not been formed. Green will not underestimate the profligacy of the nobles for the sake of ostentation and face.

........................

Queen Cersei, who got out of the carriage, stepped on the pre-laid carpet and nodded secretly satisfied.

Green, who is the head of hunting and chief affairs officer of the king's forest, escorted Queen Cersei into the tent.

Queen Cersei, who had been holding Myrcella's little hand, first handed Myrcella to the maid, and then sat down: "Baron Green, you are very attentive."

Queen Cersei refers to all kinds of expensive fruits on the long tables on both sides of the tent.

From the carpet to the current fruit, there has never been any hunting in the royal forest before. Queen Cersei naturally knew that it was all arranged by Greene.

........................

Green stroked his chest and said in a respectful voice: "Your Highness, you are as noble as you. These are just a small foil arranged by the humble minister."

Green will not tell Queen Cersei that after they leave, Green's Surana steward will be responsible for arranging for the "low-key" delivery of these fruits to Kleber Manor.

There are still merchants waiting to purchase this batch of fruits in Kleber Manor. Green's price will be very fair, and it is worth waiting for them early in the morning.

These expenses, including the carpet, were paid by Green with the extra money for hunting in the royal forest specially approved by the Minister of the Exchequer Petyr.

In addition, Green is the head of the royal forest hunting personally appointed by Queen Cersei, so Green has the final say on how to deal with these things.

Volume King Green was busy all day yesterday for today's operation.

........................

Queen Cersei took a sip from the wine glass handed by the maid, and said with a slightly curled corner of her lips, "It will be of some use, at least those women who only like to hide behind men and gossip will be much more honest."

Queen Cersei took another sip of summer red, stretched out her wine glass to the maid and ordered, "Pour the wine."

Queen Cersei continued: "Every hunting in the royal forest has made me tired of listening to their boring conversation."

Queen Cersei shook the wine glass she was holding, and said, "Baron Green, because of you, I am a little interested in this royal forest hunt."

Green bowed and said: "Thank you again for your highness, the queen, it is a great honor for me."

Queen Cersei nodded slightly, her green eyes moved: "I was also surprised when I got the news. This is not an easy task. I am curious how you persuade Littlefinger? I know that you men are generally dishonest."

Queen Cersei had something to say, and Green's heart moved, it was the annoying James!

Green secretly despises Jaime's sloppy tongue in front of Cersei.

Green spread his hands: "It was Lord Petyr who facilitated my meeting with Prime Minister Jon."

Green said again: "After all, his existence has been discovered. Lord Petyr may be afraid that we will not let him go."

The corners of Queen Cersei's lips curled up, and she leaned slightly to one armrest: "Littlefinger Petyr, what's your impression of him?"

Green thought for a while, and said, "Well, Petyr's bottom line is more flexible?"

Green was cast a glance by Queen Cersei.
