Queen's scheming

Chapter 53 Plum Appreciation Banquet ([-])
The reason why the prince of Chuyue Kingdom is favored is not only because he is the youngest son of the queen, but also because he is the only child left by the current queen.The queen of Chuyue had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Yuyue, was brave and good at fighting. At the age of fifteen, he went to battle and killed the enemy. Prince Yuyue was killed in a small battle.

The queen's second child is the eldest prince's three-year-old sister, Princess Liuyu.It is said that Princess Liuyu has inherited the appearance of the queen, with snow-like skin, black hair like ink, and a curvaceous figure, which can be called the beauty of heaven and man.When he was 13 years old, the queen chose Sima Lin, the son of the general of Chuyue Kingdom, for him. The son of the general is also quite famous in Chuyue Kingdom.

But on the night before Princess Liuyu's wedding, her palace suddenly caught fire. At that time, the little prince Yurui, who was only ten years old, was giving Princess Liuyu a dowry with a wreath he had made by himself.Princess Liuyu died in that fire, but at the last moment, she pushed the little prince Yu Rui out of the hall. Yu Rui watched helplessly as her favorite sister was engulfed in flames.From then on, Yu Rui did not allow any red to appear around him, and that red would remind him of that fire and Princess Liuyu.

Shen Qingwan didn't know what she did wrong, she actually caused the guards around Prince Chuyue to draw their swords at each other, she was so shocked that her face paled for a moment, she curled up aside, not daring to get up.

Concubine Duanjing glared at Shen Qingwan, Jieyu, the dignified third-rank concubine of the Dali Kingdom, was like a palace actress, who used all means to invite favors, and danced in thin gauze in winter, she really didn't want half of her face.Mi Yurou couldn't understand why Shen Qingyi could be dignified and elegant when the time was right, while Shen Qingwan always did embarrassing things when the time was not right.Sure enough, the same rice feeds hundreds of families.

No matter how much Mi Yurou hates Shen Qingwan at this moment, her status as a noble concubine reminds her all the time that Shen Qingyi can deal with Shen Qingwan. His prince can't, and his guards can't.It is about the national system, and she cannot be slack in the slightest.

After Shen Qingyi pleaded guilty to Prince Yurui, Concubine Duanjing glanced at the trembling Shen Qingwan, and said coldly, "Yumei, don't help your little master go to the side hall to change clothes. If it is cold, I am afraid that no matter how many imperial physicians will look down upon it."

As soon as Shen Qingwan heard about the amnesty, she hurriedly got up with Yumei's hand, blessed everyone, and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute! She can't leave yet!" Prince Chuyue said suddenly.

Shen Qing Yiliu frowned, and looked at Li Tianyou, because this matter was caused by the gift from the concubine in the harem, Li Tianyou was inconvenient to intervene, but when she heard Yu Rui blocked Shen Qingwan's footsteps, Li Tianyou's complexion changed, and the unhappy expression could be anyone's choice You can see it all.It is true that Shen Qingwan offended the prince, but she is a concubine of the Dali Kingdom after all, and if the prince stops Shen Qingwan, it is tantamount to slapping Li Tianyou in the face.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, stared straight at Yu Rui, and said dignifiedly, "I don't know what the prince has to teach? The person who spoke just now is my noble concubine Duanjing from Dali Kingdom. She has the right to assist the Six Palaces. What she said is equivalent to The imperial decree of this palace."

Duanjing imperial concubine Mi Yurou smiled gratefully at Shen Qingyi, Shen Qingyi said clearly that if Yu Ruiqiang kept Shen Qingwan, it would be against Shen Qingyi's will, as a prince of another country, he really has no right to interfere in the affairs of the harem of Dali Kingdom.

Yu Rui looked carefully at the person in front of him. Three thousand blue silks were tied into a bun near the clouds, and on top of the bun was a gold-plated hairpin with a phoenix head inlaid with colorful glazed orbs, which showed her identity as the mother of the world.The eyebrows are picturesque, shining like stars, and the skin that can be broken by blowing bombs is as crystal clear as white porcelain under the reflection of the gold and jade all over the body. The light pearl pink double-breasted four-happiness pattern is embroidered with rich purple peonies on the cloud brocade outer garment. A pair of deer antler leather boots woven with gold and inlaid with jade, with a pair of oriental beads trembling slightly on the toes.No wonder everyone said that the queen of the Dali kingdom was a fairy who came down to earth. Even her princess Liuyu, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the Chuyue kingdom, looked three points inferior in front of her.

Yu Rui pushed aside the guards in front of him, smiled slightly, and said to Shen Qingyi, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. This king is not trying to disobey your orders, but just now this woman has touched the bottom line of this king. In our Chuyue Kingdom, if If someone angers this king, the queen mother will tear that person apart, and this king keeps her, just to ask what the empress will do to her." It was a bloody murder, but on the side of the 13-year-old prince, it It's as common as trampling an ant to death.Yu Rui looked at Shen Qingyi with a smile, only waiting for her reply.

Shen Qingwan was stunned on the spot when she heard this, the strange heat on her body subsided, leaving only the bone-chilling cold, she looked up to Li Tianyou with pleading eyes, at this moment there were only people from the inner court in the hall, her father Duke Feng was still on the table outside the palace, and the only thing she could ask for was the emperor.She just wanted to dance Li Tianyou's favorite dance to win his favor, but she just showed up, and before she received any sign of appreciation, she was pointed at the tip of her nose with a knife.She still doesn't know how she angered the little prince of Chuyue Kingdom, how could she be so ruthless at such a young age, and even killed her with one word, the car cracked. .car crack. .Shen Qingyi could only think of these two words.

Li Tianyou didn't even look at Shen Qingwan. From his point of view, Shen Qingwan was really unworthy of the public. She wore thin clothes and was charming and enchanting. In the eyes of the people of Chuyue Kingdom, what kind of king was he? Concubine, I really lost face.But at this moment, he couldn't scold her. It would be even more inappropriate for a king to scold his concubines in public.

He just silently watched Shen Qingyi, his beloved woman, she was always beyond his expectations, when he saw Shen Qingyi apologizing to Prince Yurui, he was not filled with the humiliation Shen Qingwan brought him, It was Shen Qingyi's love for him, and Shen Qingyi almost involuntarily stepped forward to resolve the matter for him. The original Qingyi disdained this kind of official banquet the most, and would always refuse it, but now Not only did Qing Yi attend, but he also had a lot of face for it. He could always feel the envious expressions of those envoys from Chuyue Kingdom, which made him puff out his chest unconsciously.

Shen Qingyi stared at Prince Yurui, his eyes clearly showed a fierce look, Qingyi smiled, "The prince's joke is really funny, even this palace almost took the prince's words seriously. The queen of your country has Everyone knows how much you love the prince, if you are offended, how could it be just a broken car? You know, in my country of Dali, if someone offends this palace, the emperor will kill all the nine clans of that person Yes, after autumn, the vegetable market in the capital is full of blood-clothed prisoners, surrounded by many people, waiting for an order, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and those people took steamed buns to stain the blood, The blood-red steamed buns are so beautiful under the sunshine."

"Enough!" Prince Yurui interrupted Shen Qingyi's bloody description, with a splitting headache, and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Just now, he thought that Shen Qingyi was an immortal fairy, but now he felt that she came from hell. The monster, such blood red, can be described by her like a landscape, Shen Qingyi is clearly threatening him, telling him not to challenge her in vain.

The guards beside Prince Yurui whispered a few words in his ear, as if confirming what Shen Qingyi said.Prince Yurui's expression changed a few times. The trip to Dali was an opportunity he finally got by acting like a spoiled child. The princess has already gone first. If Dali Kingdom wants to attack Chuyue, it will definitely not hesitate.

Chuyue's power is gradually weakening. Once Dali attacks, it will inevitably lead to civil strife. Her mother and son have nothing to rely on now. They can only hope that Dali will protect him and help him ascend to the throne. So he has no choice but to Ingratiating Li Tianyou, he has done a great job these few days, is he going to offend Dali at the banquet before leaving?That's too much to lose.

But Chu Yue's envoys were all watching from the outside, they all knew that they were afraid of red, if they found out that they had endured this matter in order to please Dali, they would feel that he was cowardly and incompetent, and they would not support him in the future.

Prince Yurui thought for a while, then walked to Shen Qingyi's side with a smile, and said in a low voice, "This king just wants to give an excuse to the empress. If you make an imperial edict at this time, our envoys from the Chuyue Kingdom will not enter the inner palace to watch Punishment, so how to do it is not a matter of your words? The courtiers in our country are all looking at the king. If the king shrinks back, won’t he be scolded to death by those old men, please take pity on me I!"

Shen Qingyi looked at Prince Yurui helplessly, her eyes were as bright as a full moon, she looked at her eagerly, innocent and clear like a child, showing a look of pleading, as if the fierceness Shen Qingyi saw just now was hers Illusion, in front of me is just a innocent and harmless little prince.

Shen Qingyi shook her head invisibly, Prince Yurui and Shen Qingwan are really a couple, they are best at pretending to be innocent, pitiful, and sympathetic, "It's not that I don't help the prince, it's just that I am Queen Dali. You are not joking, and this palace is no exception. Words spoken are like splashed water, and there is no such thing as a lie. Although this palace has severed ties with Shen Jieyu, this Shen Jieyu is from Fengguo Gongfu Concubine, if you deal with her, Duke Feng may not let it go. However, I understand the prince's feelings. It is impossible for the car to be broken, but I can do it by punishing her slightly, and I will try my best to be considerate of the prince. Face, is this okay?"

Prince Yurui pursed his lips, and reluctantly agreed.

Shen Qingyi turned to Li Tianyou to bless her body, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Shen Jieyu behaved badly at the state banquet, and my concubine begged the Emperor to punish her for half a year and remove half of her from serving the palace people. Your Majesty's grace." This kind of punishment is neither light nor heavy, it will save anyone's face, and whether Prince Yurui is satisfied or not is another matter.On the night of the second day, it was heard that there was a ghost in Fengguo's mansion, but after one night, his mansion was covered with white silk, as if a funeral was held.
