Chapter 9 - The Night Banquet

 Although my identity is King Ping of the Dakang Kingdom, I am not among the invitations of the queen, so I can only stand behind Yan Yuanzong in an orderly manner, Yan Yuanzong can be described as respectful and afraid of his mother, hoping to win the favor of the queen mother through the birthday banquet, and no longer force himself to intervene in the court fight.

 The Qin Palace is located in the center of the Qin capital, surrounded by city walls, and the moat is deep and wide, like a city within a city. The birthday banquet of Empress Xiang Jing was held in the Yixiang Hall in the palace. The royal seats of Emperor Qin Xuanlong and Empress Xiang Jing are located in the north of the hall facing the main gate, with sixty seats on each side, all facing the vast space like the square in the center of the palace, the seats are divided into two rows in front and behind, each seat can seat ten people, the front seat is the royal noble ministers, and the back seat is Wang Qing's family and special status warrior generals.

 The closer you are to the Qin Emperor's banquet, the higher the status, and the seats of the prince Yan Yuanji and the Qi King Yan Yuanzong are set up in the second seat on the left and the second seat on the right, which also shows their transcendent status among the princes. After the guests entered the hall, they sat in their own banquets, and when talking, they all listened to each other, not daring to make noise, and the atmosphere was tense and serious.

 Sun Sanfen's injury medicine really worked, my lower body no longer hurt, and after a period of ice, the edema has subsided a lot, which will not hinder my actions at this time.

 King Qi Yan Yuanzong turned to me and whispered: "When my mother comes out, you will take a good look at it, and then I will ask Duke Chen to take you to the side hall to paint, and I responded."

 At this time, the bell rang to remind everyone to take their seats. Nearly 1,000 royal relatives, nobles and nobles took their seats, and more than 100 tables on both sides were crowded, and the grand palace dinner was about to kick off.

 At this time, there was a commotion near the door, and I looked up, but I saw a beautiful woman in palace clothes surrounded by several beautiful maidservants, Tingting walked in, the woman was wearing a silk robe, and countless colorful pearls fell on it, shining brilliantly. The earrings are two crystal clear pearls, the cloud-like bun is horizontal with a gold hairpin, shining brightly, the clothes are adorned with pearls, the silk skirt is light and thin, and the delicate body exudes a strong fragrance. Her face is extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are picturesque, and her tender skin is white and red, which is extremely attractive. Isn't it the ninth princess Yan Lin, which one else? I was secretly amazed in my heart, I didn't expect this perverted princess to be so beautiful under her careful dress, full of femininity.

 Yan Lin seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness of the day, and greeted the imperial brothers with a smile, and when her eyes turned in my direction, she suddenly became cold, and her eyes showed a look of shame and indignation. I laughed secretly in my heart, and I pinched her hard underwater today, thinking that it should still be in pain.

 Naturally, I won't be afraid of her now, no matter how savage Yan Lin is, she won't dare to do anything to me in front of the princes and ministers. Unfortunately, Yan Lin was actually arranged to sit with King Qi Yan Yuanzong, it seems that I have to be careful to prevent her from getting into trouble with me again.

 Although Yan Yuanzong and Yan Lin were not born to the same mother, he had always loved Yan Lin incomparably, and such a sharp scolding as today had never happened, he took the initiative to get up and come to Yan Lin's side, Yan Lin must still remember his reprimand to himself during the day, his eyes were red, and he was about to shed tears: "Where are I going to sit down with the eldest brother?" "

 I knew she was bluffing as soon as I heard it.

 Yan Yuanzong smiled and said, "Ghost girl! Can't you really give birth to the seventh brother? Come and sit down, and I'll bring you two glasses of wine later as an atonement!" Yan Lin stared at me fiercely, and then sat down next to Yan Yuanzong.

 I have long learned about Yan Lin's life experience from the biography, her mother is Concubine Qin Shu, and she is also a famous beauty, who died of a sudden illness as early as ten years ago, and it is rumored that the queen Xiang Jing hated her for favor and poisoned her, but looking at the harmonious relationship between Yan Lin and Yan Yuanzong, she should not know this rumor.

 At this time, the bells in the hall rang softly, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded leisurely, and a ceremonial band walked lightly, playing and blowing, leading the way in, and then dispersed to stand on both sides and continue to play music. Everyone withdrew their gaze and looked at the main entrance. Surrounded by concubines, Qin Xuanlong Emperor Yan Yuan, who was in his fifties, and Empress Xiang Jing walked into the palace hand in hand, followed by dozens of personal guards, half of whom went around the space behind the banquet to stand guard, and the remaining half followed Emperor Xuanlong to the chairman at the end of the hall.

 This is the first time I have seen the world-famous Xuanlong Emperor, he is of medium stature, with wide foreheads, gloomy eyes, beards under his chin, gray temples, trembling and stepping on the chairman with the support of the crystal queen, I never expected that the fifty-three-year-old Xuande Emperor would look like a dying old man.

 Yan Yuanzong whispered: "Look carefully! "

 Only then did I think of my main task, my eyes turned to the queen Xiang Jing, and my heart couldn't help but move, but I saw that she was born with eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like autumn water, beautiful and bright, but her demeanor was dignified, and she had an awe-inviolable noble style. Graceful and luxurious, looking around without anger and self-esteem, women like this often have strong personalities and are very assertive. Xiang Jing's figure is long, and standing with the medium-sized Xuanlong Emperor seems to be a little taller, she must have hidden a pair of slender legs under her luxurious palace outfit, I didn't expect Xiang Jing to be so young, looking only in her twenties, compared to the beauties I saw before, there is a more heart-warming mature charm.

 The concubines sat in the back two seats according to their status, and the guards were guarded on both sides and in the rear.

 The crowd waited for them to sit down and sang congratulations in unison. The toast ceremony of the Qin Palace is no different from that of Dakang, and I spend more time concentrating on looking at Xiang Jing after Qin.

 I suddenly found that when I faced this kind of mature beauty, I would involuntarily produce a kind of **, I remember when I saw Murong Yanyan, I had this kind of budding, but at that time I didn't know the origin of this feeling, and now when I see Xiang Jing, this feeling has become more and more intense, maybe this is related to the potential mother-love complex in my heart.

 I finally retracted my gaze, turned around and saw Yan Lin's almost bitter and hateful gaze, I smiled faintly, in the face of such a rival, I really had no choice. Yan Yuanzong wouldn't know Yan Lin's love for Yaoru, was the real purpose of his reward for Yaoru out of love or hatred for Yan Lin?

 Yan Yuanzong and Yan Lin are still chatting and laughing, on the surface I can't see anything unusual, maybe Yan Yuanzong gave Yaoru to me in order to end Yan Lin's love for Yaoru as soon as possible.

 Duke Chen had already prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone and invited me to the side hall, but when I was about to leave, I heard Emperor Xuanlong cough twice and said, "Today is the queen's birthday, what gifts have you children prepared?" "

 Yan Yuanzong's expression also changed slightly, he never expected that his father would actually bring up this matter at the beginning of the banquet. Watching the princes show their gifts one by one, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in embarrassment, Yan Lin also walked towards the queen with a jewelry box, she looked at King Qi with some surprise and said, "Seventh brother!" You don't go with me? "

 Qin Hou Xiang Jing's eyes have been paying attention to King Qi from beginning to end , in her mind, the most important thing is naturally this gift from King Qi, seeing the other princes scrambling to express themselves, only King Qi is still sitting there motionless, a trace of displeasure flashed in Empress Jing's beautiful eyes, Emperor Xuanlong saw all the subtle changes in his beloved wife's expression, and said with a smile: "Yuanzong!" What do you have in store for your mother? "

 King Qi hurriedly stood up and replied bitingly: "Son minister... A portrait was prepared for the queen mother. "

 "Oh!" Emperor Xuanlong and the Queen of Crystals looked at each other, their eyes were full of joy, and Emperor Xuanlong said: "If that's the case, why don't you present it yet?" "

 Yan Yuanzong said awkwardly: "Son minister... Not ready yet..."

 His words caused all the princes to laugh in unison, and the crystal queen's pretty face turned slightly red, obviously angry and lost her face in front of many royal families.

 Yan Yuanzong clenched his fists hard, and the scene in front of him was so familiar to me, and the intrigue between the princes was the same in any country.

 I whispered behind Yan Yuanzong: "Your Highness King Qi, Yinkong is willing to paint a portrait of the queen on the spot!" A trace of doubt flashed in Yan Yuanzong's eyes, he had not really seen my painting technique, and my suggestion was already quite bold in his opinion.

 The beautiful eyes of the Crystal Queen swept across the crowd with a smile, and suddenly the entire hall returned to silence, everyone knew the character of the Crystal Queen, if she was caught openly laughing at King Qi, she would definitely not end up in a good end.

 Yan Yuanzong finally made up his mind and said loudly: "Mother! The child specially invited a painter to paint for you on the spot! "

 A smile appeared on the pretty face of the queen, and what she wanted most was to see her son stand out in front of everyone and be in the limelight above the princes.

 The Queen of Jing nodded and said, "Okay! It's rare for you to have filial piety, let that painter paint on the spot in this hall!" "

 "Thank you, mother!"

 I took the towel handed by Chen Gonggong and wiped my hands silently, and once I stood in front of the painting case, I completely forgot where I was.

 The banquet above the hall continued, everyone's eyes were focused on Emperor Xuanlong and the queen of crystals, few people would notice me, I solemnly pinched the sheep's hair, wanting to fully outline the beauty and elegance of the queen, I had to take advantage of the soft and rounded characteristics of the sheep's hair.

 Closing my eyes, the peerless demeanor of the crystal queen suddenly appeared clearly in my mind.

 If you want to complete a good work, the penmanship, pen gesture, pen meaning, pen fun, pen power, and brushwork are inseparable, and it is also the embodiment of the painter's talent and cultivation.

 I took a deep breath, and the ink-soaked sheep's hair flew like clouds and water on the rice paper.

 With just a stick of incense, I finished painting the portrait, but I saw that the portrait on the painting was simply vivid, but the beautiful eyes of the queen were replaced by kind and gentle eyes, and the background behind me was also replaced by Jiangnan full of flowers.

 Since I started painting, King Qi was restless, and then he simply came to my painting desk, and I dipped a little red ink in sheep's hair and finally tapped it on the lips of the portrait, smiling and saying, "Okay! "

 King Qi's eyes fell on the portrait, and the expression on his face changed from surprise to ecstasy: "Good painting!" Really good painting! He was so excited that even his voice trembled.

 The ninth princess Yan Lin also came to the painting case curiously, originally she wanted to take the opportunity to sarcastic me a few words, but when she saw the lifelike portrait on the table, she couldn't say the mean words she had just thought of, and she held back for a long time before saying: "I didn't expect you, a lewd thief, to have such a ability!" "

 I smiled and said, "If it weren't for the ninth princess burning the centennial picture, Yinkong wouldn't dare to show it in front of everyone!" "

 Yan Lin glanced at me angrily, and I continued to smile: "The ninth princess is beautiful, and if there is a chance to depict the princess's peerless style in the future, Yinkong will depict the princess's peerless style." "The reason why I flattered her extremely numbly is mainly because I don't want to continue to oppose this perverted princess, if Yan Lin hates me because of Yaoru's affairs, I'm afraid my life in the Qin capital will be difficult in the future.

 Yan Lin looked at me disdainfully: "Let you, a lewd thief, look at paintings, wouldn't I be bad luck for the rest of my life." This perverted princess spoke without any obstruction, if the queen heard this, she was afraid that she would be angry again.

 I noticed that the original murderous aura could no longer be found from Yan Lin's body, and perhaps she knew that I had rescued her from the water and eliminated some of the hostility in her heart. When the picture was dry, King Qi carefully picked up the painting, and with the lesson of the last centenarian picture, this time he didn't want to make any mistakes no matter what.

 Thinking that Yan Lin was still standing behind me, I took the opportunity to give way to King Qi and crashed backwards, my solid back hit Yan Lin's elastic chest, she screamed in pain, covered her chest and squatted down, the impact just now must have hit her ** pain, I was secretly happy in my heart, but on the surface I pretended to be fine: "Your Highness the Princess!" Yinkong didn't know that you were standing behind! "

 Yan Lin bit her lower lip, she also felt that I didn't mean to, and I didn't know how to vent my anger for a while. King Qi was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he comforted him: "Ninth sister! You follow me to the queen mother to present a painting!" "

 The queen took the scroll presented by King Qi, and the phoenix eyes suddenly became bright, rippling with excitement. I stood quietly in the crowd, paying attention to every change in the expression of the Crystal Queen from a distance.

 The queen praised softly: "Good painting! Her beautiful eyes were actually a little moist, and she said to King Qi: "This is the best gift the Ai family has received today!" "

 King Qi was overjoyed and said respectfully: "The child wishes the mother, the blessing is like the East China Sea, and the longevity is better than the South Mountain!" "

 The queen smiled and said: "It's rare for you to have this filial piety, and you appreciate it for your mother!" Her eyes returned to the portrait and she couldn't bear to leave for a long time: "Yuanzong, you call the painter up!" "

 "Yes!" King Qi turned around and waved to me, my heart jumped wildly, and the moment of deliberate planning finally came, and I tried my best to pretend to be sincere and frightened and walked towards the crystal queen.

 When I passed by the side of Prince Yan Yuanji, his cold eyes looked at me, and my appearance was an accident to him.

 "The thirty-first prince of Kang, Yinkong, knocked on the queen! I wish the emperor and the queen a long life. "I bowed respectfully, although I am a prisoner of Da Qin, but my identity as the prince of Kang is still there, and I don't have to kneel down to the queen in terms of etiquette.

 Emperor Xuanlong and Empress Jing were both surprised, and they didn't expect that the painter in front of them was actually the prince of Kang.

 Emperor Xuanlong's expression was very indifferent, he didn't seem to have any good impression of me, an enemy proton. Empress Jing smiled and said: "Who do I think has such a wonderful hand, it turns out to be His Highness King Ping!" "

 I said at the right time: "Yinkong doesn't dare to be!" "

 The queen smiled indifferently, pointed at the portrait with a slender finger and said: "You have only seen the Ai family once, and you can draw such a look in a short period of time, and you do have extraordinary ability, I don't know who King Ping is from?" "

 I replied respectfully: "Yinkong has been learning painting with Master Kaizhi in the palace since he was a child, and this painting skill is taught by him!" "

 Jing Hou nodded: "No wonder, Master Kaizhi is a generation of masters, I have had a relationship with him, but I have never gotten his ink treasure, and today I have you, a disciple, to paint a portrait for me, which can be regarded as fulfilling my long-cherished wish." "

 She turned to the eunuch beside her and said, "Give King Ping three thousand gold!" "

 I hurriedly said deeply: "Thank you, Queen! "

 Empress Jing smiled and said: "You don't have to be so formal, your aunt is my sister-in-law, speaking of which, you should still call me aunt!" I hurriedly knelt down: "Nephew Yinkong pays respects to my aunt!" "This time it was a courtesy of aunt and nephew, so naturally there were not so many scruples.

 Empress Jing smiled and said, "Get up, I have long heard that Kang Guo is going to send a prince, but I have never heard the news of his arrival in the Qin capital." "

 Emperor Xuanlong said: "I don't know about this either!" Naturally, he couldn't take care of such trivial matters, but his eyes always seemed a little dull as he spoke, and his right hand kept shaking.

 Empress Jing keenly grasped what from Emperor Xuanlong's words, Feng Mu turned to the prince Yan Yuanji in the second seat on the left, and said secretly: "I think the prince should know about this matter." "

 My heart sank, and the Queen of Jing obviously wanted to use the topic to make a big fuss about my visit to Qin, wouldn't this put me on the cusp of the fight between her and Yan Yuanji?

 Yan Yuanji hurriedly came out and said, "Father! Empress! After the child settled down with King Ping, he has been busy with political affairs, and please forgive me for forgetting to report! I noticed that he did not call the queen mother the queen, and the rumors among the people that he had a grudge against the queen were indeed true.

 Emperor Xuanlong was about to speak, but was preempted by Empress Jing: "Yuan Ji is also the governor of the navy, and he does not forget to relieve his father's worries in his busy schedule. Her words were clearly accusing Yan Yuanji of wanting to take over the government in public.

 A hint of anger flashed in Yan Yuanji's eyes, but he did not dare to attack in front of Emperor Xuanlong. He smiled and said: "It is the duty of a child to relieve my father's worries!" "

 The Queen of Jing smiled sweetly: "No wonder your father often praises you, among these dozen or so children, you are the only one who understands his mind the most." Her wonderful eyes swept over the faces of the other princes one by one: "You children should learn more from your imperial brothers in the future, and you must take care of what you should or should not manage!" Her words were tantamount to giving the prince Yan Yuanji a slap in public.

 Yan Yuanji could no longer suppress his anger, stared at the queen coldly and said, "The queen seems to be reprimanding Yuan Ji for being troublesome?" "

 The queen sneered: "The prince is serious, you are today's prince and tomorrow's Qin emperor, how can I dare to reprimand you?" "

 I didn't expect that Empress Jing would have no scruples in front of Emperor Xuanlong and the ministers, and confront the prince with a sharp sword.

 Xuanlong Emperor Yan Yuan suddenly coughed violently, his whole face turned red, his waist bowed tightly, and the crystal queen hurriedly slapped his back, and said loudly: "Imperial doctor!" "

 After a long time, Emperor Xuanlong's cough subsided, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips, and I noticed that the white silk handkerchief was obviously stained with bright red blood. It seems that his condition is not light, I am afraid that his time in this world is running out, if he really dies, his throne will be passed on to future generations, and the intensifying struggle between the queen and the prince may stem from this.

 Emperor Xuande seemed to want to say something, but immediately began to cough again. The queen winked, and the two eunuchs around her helped Emperor Xuande leave first, and the queen raised her glass to Wang Qing in the palace and said: "The Ai family uses this cup of thin wine to thank the ministers for wishing me a birthday!" Everyone stood up at the same time, indicating that the birthday banquet would end early.

 The princes and nobles began to say goodbye one by one, the queen was not in a hurry to leave, she smiled and greeted everyone, I intuitively felt that this woman was extremely unusual, the current Xuande Emperor was afraid that time was running out, she held a birthday banquet to invite the princes and ministers, her real purpose was not to celebrate her birthday, but to take the opportunity to show her strength in front of the ministers and demonstrate in front of the prince Yan Yuanji.

 Thinking of Yan Yuanji, I couldn't help but feel a chill rise in my heart, no matter what purpose I had tonight, I had been used by the crystal queen just now to act as a pawn against Yan Yuanji, putting me in a rather disadvantageous position, Yan Yuanji would definitely be angry with me because of this, if that happened, I am afraid that I would be self-defeating in handling this matter.

 When passing by Yan Yuanji's side, Yan Yuanji sneered and blocked my way: "King Ping's acting skills are really first-class, and Yuan Ji didn't know that His Highness King Ping actually had such a unique skill!" "

 I smiled indifferently and said, "Small skills, what is there to worry about!" "

 Yan Yuanji said meaningfully: "In Yan's opinion, His Highness King Ping is a master of knowledge, and he is perfect in using it." There was a strong murderous intent in his eyes, and my heart couldn't help but tremble.

 King Qi also sensed the prince's deep hostility towards me, and smiled and said: "Brother Emperor is right, King Ping is indeed uneducated, and if there is a chance in the future, we will make an appointment to discuss calligraphy and painting together." "

 Yan Yuanji sneered: "It's a pity that I don't have that kind of leisure." "

 I respectfully gave him a series, following King Qi was about to leave, and I didn't want the queen to call King Qi behind her, she took the initiative to come to us and said to King Qi: "What! Do you want to leave before you say goodbye to your mother? King Qi said respectfully: "The child is busy seeing his mother, and he wants to leave first, and he will come over tomorrow to greet the queen mother." "

 The queen sighed and said, "You go, in your mind, I, as a mother, may not be as good as those guests!" "

 I don't know if the queen's words included me, my eyes hung on the ground, but the corner of my eyes quietly glanced in the direction of the prince Yan Yuanji, he left surrounded by a group of people, and before leaving, he looked in my direction coldly, I secretly screamed in my heart, this time I only cared about looking for an opportunity to get close to the queen of the crystal, but I didn't expect to be used by the queen of the crystal, it was really not worth the loss.

 The Queen of Jing's eyes finally fell on me, and she said softly: "Yinkong! Thank you for the portrait you gave me, if you have any trouble in the Qin capital in the future, you can come to me!" I hurriedly thanked him, but I said in my heart that Yan Yuanji in front of me was a big trouble, but you caused me this trouble.

 That night, I returned to the palace with King Qi to live, and I couldn't sleep for a long time, and tomorrow I will return to the proton mansion, and Prince Yan Yuanji will definitely not spare me. I couldn't explain this matter to King Qi at the moment, so I paced back and forth in the room, and I couldn't think of a way to resolve it.

 The door rang softly, but it was Yaoru who came over with a bird's nest, her eyes were still slightly swollen, thinking of the grievances she suffered for me during the day, I couldn't help but feel pity, stepped forward and hugged her slender waist, and said softly: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" "

 Yao Ru said softly: "I have packed my things and will go to the Proton Mansion with His Highness King Ping tomorrow." "

 I sighed, sat down at the table, and did not take the bird's nest handed by Yaoru.

 Yaoru put the bird's nest on the table and said softly: "Your Highness seems unhappy?" "

 I looked at her beautiful and intoxicating pretty face, and said softly: "If I let you stay in the Qi Wangfu, will you agree?" "

 Yao Ruhua's face faded, and she knelt in front of me with tears: "Yao Ru is already His Highness's person, if His Highness does not want Yao Ru, Yao Ru has only one death...

 I reached out to wipe the tears from her face: "Yaoru! It's not that I don't want to take you back, I'm now a proton of the Qin State, and I can't protect myself, so how can I take care of you?" "

 Yao Ru said: "As long as Yao Ru can follow His Highness, no matter how hard the days are, I can survive them." "

 I helped her up from the ground, picked up her delicate body, and sat on my knees: "I don't want to lie to you, tonight at the queen's birthday banquet, I'm afraid I will offend the prince Yan Yuanji!" "

 Yao Ru's delicate body was shocked, she would not be unaware of the power and status of the prince Yan Yuanji in the Qin capital, if a prisoner like me offended him, I am afraid there would be no good end.

 Yaoru said in a trembling voice: "Why don't we ask His Highness King Qi..." I noticed that she used us, and she was obviously in the same position as me.

 I smiled and said, "This is just a speculation of mine, the prince has not taken action against me now, if I go to King Qi now, he will definitely not believe it, he will only blame me for being a mediocre person." Even if he believes it, he will not easily offend his imperial brother for an insignificant person like me. "

 Yao Ru said worriedly: "Why don't you go ask the queen for help!" "

 "Do you feel like I can see the queen in my current capacity?"

 Yaoru was silent.

 I whispered, "That's why I asked you to stay in the Qi Wangfu temporarily." "

 Yao Ru looked at me with inquiring eyes.

 I gently kissed her delicate ear and said, "After I return to the Proton Mansion tomorrow, if the prince starts to deal with me, I'm afraid I won't be as free as before, within three days, if I can't leave the Proton Mansion, you can ask King Qi to send you there, and I can take the opportunity to tell King Qi everything." "

 Yaoru's eyes were slightly red, she hugged my neck, and her pretty face was close to the side of my neck and said, "If the prince attacks you in these three days, then... What should I do? "

 I smiled indifferently and said, "After all, I am the prince of Dakang, and even if the prince hates me no matter how much he hates me, at most he will humiliate me in every possible way and will never kill me." "

 Yaoru nodded.

 My big hand lifted Yaoru's long skirt and gently stroked her silky smooth skin, Yaoru couldn't help but twist her delicate body under my caressing, and said softly: "Your injury has not healed yet!" "

 Only then did I feel the swelling and pain in my lower body, my brows furrowed slightly, Yaoru grabbed my big hands with both hands, stood up from me, and said softly: "Your Highness still needs to take care of your health." "

 I couldn't help but scold: "Yan Lin is really vicious." "

 At the mention of Yan Lin's name, a hint of pain flashed in Yaoru's eyes, she picked up the bird's nest and carefully fed it into my mouth.

 "Does she often harass you?" I thought about it again and again and finally said this question.

 Yao Ru sighed faintly, put down the bird's nest, and tears fell from her eyes: "Yao Ru is originally the Jinghai Tian clan." "

 I was stunned and said, "But the Tian family, the largest salt merchant in the Qin state?" "

 Yao Ru nodded and said with tears: "Tian Xun is my father's name." "

 I couldn't help but be shocked, the Tian family is not only in the Qin Kingdom, but also in the Eight Kingdoms is also very famous, Tian Xun is the head of the Tian family, the largest salt merchant in the world, it is said that half of the salt used by the people of the Eight Kingdoms comes from his salt fields, and he was suddenly convicted three years ago, and his death is unknown.

 Yao Ru said: "My father was confiscated all his family property because he offended the Qin Emperor, and he was sent to the army in northern Xinjiang, and my mother opened up the joints in order to seek justice for my father, so that I could be selected for the ... of the show."

 Yao Ru paused, and her eyes showed sadness and indignation: "I worked hard to come to the Qin capital, but I never saw the Qin Emperor, so I was sent to the Qi Wangfu by the queen." "

 I sighed: "It must be that the Crystal Queen saw that you were outstanding, and if you were selected as a concubine, you would definitely compete with her in the future, so she expelled you from the palace walls." "

 Yao Ru nodded noncommittally: "After coming here, I am not the only beautiful woman with a fate like me, and now that I think about it, it is a kind of luck for me not to be selected for the palace in the first place." "

 I nodded in agreement, if Yao Ruo was lucky enough to be canonized as a concubine, Xiang Jing was jealous and would definitely torture her in every way, and she might not be able to live in this world now.

 Yao Ru said: "King Qi is generous, and our life here is also peaceful, until the ninth princess appears... Only ..." Yao Ruying's lips trembled, and two crystal tears slowly slipped down, as if remembering an unbearable scene in the past.

 I took her into my arms lovingly.

 Yaoru said: "The ninth princess showed unusual enthusiasm from the moment she saw me, I didn't notice her abnormality at first, but then she became more and more excessive... She even asked me to do a lot of perverted things with her, and as long as I dared to resist, she would severely punish me..." Yaoru said this, snuggled tightly in my arms and cried bitterly.

 "Didn't King Qi ignore this?" I said angrily.

 Yao Ru cried and said: "This matter is not to blame for King Qi, the matter of the ninth princess, how did I speak in front of King Qi, and later His Highness King Qi found that the ninth princess was entangled with me in every way and reprimanded her several times, and then the ninth princess did restrain a lot, but it didn't take long for her to regain her old ways, and His Highness King Qi was helpless to her, and finally let it be...

 I said secretly: "King Qi rewarded me with Yaoru, and there must be the above reasons." "

 Yao Ru said affectionately: "It wasn't until His Highness appeared that Yao Ru saw a glimmer of hope out of the sea of suffering, if even His Highness abandoned Yao Ru and ignored it, Yao Ru would probably only die." "

 I held up Yaoru's curvy and soft jaw: "How can I be willing to ..."

 Yaoru's pretty face was crimson, and she said in a low voice: "As long as Your Highness is willing to take Yaoru in, I would rather let Yaoru be a cow and a horse!" "

 I hugged her into my arms and smiled, "Then let's see if you can control this horse!" "

 "Your Highness..."
