As a majestic voice sounded, the officials stood up one after another. Ruan Qingliu knelt at the last position. He did not dare to get up in a hurry after hearing the Queen's words. He waited until the people in front of him stood up before slowly getting up.

This is just like doing exercises. The bigger the amplitude, the easier it is to attract others' attention. Ruan Qingliu in the back simply waited for everyone else to stand up before standing up silently.

A pair of big eyes were peeking at the empress on the throne.

I saw that the empress was wearing a golden dragon robe embroidered with dragon patterns, and a golden crown on her head. She looked graceful and luxurious.

Although she looked almost forty years old, there were no signs of age on her well-maintained face, only a solemn and steady aura.

It can be said that Nangong Rong's appearance is completely inherited from the Queen, but in comparison, the Queen's face is more angular, which can vaguely reveal Nangong Tou's appearance.

Following the footsteps of everyone, Ruan Qingliu quietly took his seat and listened to the Queen's speech before slowly opening the table.

During the banquet, Ruan Qingliu was sitting alone in the corner. No one took the initiative to toast her, so she was at ease.

I looked here and there, but the main focus was still on the gigolos.

Looking at the men in red and green clothes in the middle of the banquet, they were twisting and dancing with graceful postures and dancing with enchanting movements. The people around them were watching as if they were appraising items.

Ruan Qingliu can only say one thing - this world is so wonderful!

It wasn't until the song was over and everyone was chatting in a harmonious atmosphere that the queen in charge opened her mouth and said:

"It is a happy thing for all my dear friends and family members to gather together today. I am in a very good mood today."

At this time, several courtiers took the initiative to stand up, saying nothing more than some high-sounding words, and their purpose was very clear, which was to please the queen.

It’s just that I don’t know who is short-sighted. He obviously has a grudge against the Minister of War, and he took the initiative to mention Ruan Qingliu’s return to Beijing.

As soon as these words came out, Ruan Qingliu, who was gathering dust in the corner, couldn't help shaking his wrist, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled all over him.

You must know that the reputation of the original owner in Kyoto has not been very good. Originally, he was not summoned to the capital, which already violated the emperor's taboo. Now, the person who raises this matter at this juncture is obviously looking for trouble!

"Huh?"

When the queen heard what the courtier below said, she raised her eyebrows, looked at the Minister of War sitting beside her and asked:

"Ruan Aiqing, is this serious?!"

As soon as Ruan Jun, the Minister of War, heard the Queen's question, he came to the front, knelt on the ground and said:

"To tell you your Majesty, my daughter is indeed here for the palace banquet today."

"Oh? Where is Ruan Qingliu?"

When Ruan Qingliu heard the aloof Queen calling him, he dared not to agree. A Guru came to the bottom of the steps, knelt on the steps and imitated the appearance of the original owner in his memory, and kowtowed to the Queen respectfully:

"Long live my emperor!"

The Queen looked down at Ruan Qingliu, neither saying anything nor superfluous words. Ruan Qingliu did not dare to raise his head, she only felt beads of sweat leaving her cheeks, and she couldn't help cursing in her heart——

It seems that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. It is not an easy task for a man or a woman under the emperor! If she cannot handle this matter today, Ruan Qingliu will be completely screwed!

"Ruan Qingliu, why did you come back from the border?!"

Listening to the Queen's majestic voice, Ruan Qingliu was so frightened that her legs went weak, so she could only bite the bullet and said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I... I am not talented and I really can't stand the bitter cold at the frontier fortress. I beg your majesty, for my father's sake, please don't let me stay at the frontier fortress!"

As soon as Ruan Qingliu finished speaking, he heard a disdainful snort from someone behind him.

Ruan Qingliu knew the memory of the original owner. The father of the original owner Ruan Qingliu was a half-brother of the Queen. He was most obedient and obedient, and the Queen took good care of him.

And it is precisely because of this that Ruan Qingliu is also domineering and uneducated in Kyoto City.

"Yes, Your Majesty, my daughter really can't stand that bitter cold place. Please be merciful to Your Majesty! Don't let our family be separated from each other!"

At this time, Ruan Jun kowtowed a few times. If others were like this, others might see some pity, but facing Ruan Jun...

Ruan Qingliu twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at his cheap old lady kowtowing. Something was obviously wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.

Ruan Qingliu knew that she, a cheap old woman, was not a good person. When she was young, she was even more dissolute than her original owner, wandering around the Fireworks Willow Alley, happy to be in Shu.

If Ruan Qingliu's father hadn't fallen in love with Ruan Jun, Luohua would have been ruthless and would have given her life to marry Ruan Jun and give her a child after being seduced by Ruan Jun.

It is absolutely impossible for the Queen to marry the original owner’s father to a playboy like Ruan Jun.

Ruan Qingliu's set of things is completely a replica of his mother when she was young, and she can already feel the anger of the queen above.

So he quickly reached out his hand to hold Ruan Jun and said:

"Mom, don't be like this."

Then he said to the queen:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my mother also loves her daughter very much and cannot bear to see me suffer..."

"Are you suffering? If you are suffering, then wouldn't it mean that Yuge, the daughter of the Duke of Jade Kingdom, has been sent to the eighteenth level of hell?!"

Before Ruan Qingliu finished speaking, a sonorous and powerful voice came from behind - it was Wei Guogong.

Facing the daughter of the Minister of War, Ruan Qingliu, Wei Guogong really didn’t have a good impression.

Here tonight, she has already heard that her daughter Wei Yu was pushed into the water, and she is still unconscious!

If it hadn't been for the palace banquet today and she couldn't leave, she would have gone to see Yu'er immediately!

There has been faint news from the Princess Mansion that Ruan Qingliu and Wei Yu pushed her into the water during a dispute!

If this is the case, then Wei Guogong will definitely not let it go. Today she took the initiative to stand up and embarrass Ruan Qingliu just to give her and the Minister of War a disgrace!

It's still a long way from going against her, the Duke of Wei!

Ruan Qingliu looked at the person in front of her who was a round older than her. At this moment, Zheng Zheng looked at herself angrily. If he didn't know her, he would have thought she was Yu Ge's wife!

But Ruan Qingliu recognized this person through the memory of the original owner. She was none other than Wei Guogong.

The Duke of Wei who has always been dissatisfied with the Duke of Jade.

Today, Duke Jade has been ill for several months, so he did not come to the palace banquet. If she came, she would be the first to rush to compete with Duke Wei.

Ruan Qingliu was about to say something when he was stopped by Ruan Jun, his own cheap lady, and a weak voice sounded in his ears:

"Silly girl, don't mess with the people from the Duke's family! I haven't had enough of your life yet!"

Seeing that Ruan Qingliu didn't speak, and Ruan Jun still looked like a pretty boy who couldn't stand up to the stage, Wei Guogong smiled coldly and pressed every word:

"What? The daughter of the Ruan family went to the frontier and was so frightened that she peed her pants?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter. The queen, who was in charge, just took a sip of tea. Facing the situation below, she had no intention of stopping her. It seemed that she deliberately allowed Duke Wei to do all this.

“It’s bitterly cold here, so not everyone can go there!”

When everyone in the hall was waiting and waiting to see the joke of the Minister of War's family, a cheerful female voice sounded outside the hall. Everyone turned around and saw a woman in red clothing standing outside the hall.
p>

The woman wore a high ponytail, her skin was a healthy wheat color, and there was a deep scar on the corner of her eyebrow. Her whole person looked wild.

Seeing that she was coming, everyone consciously moved out of the way.

This person was Yu Ge, and she was not polite. She strode to the foot of the stairs and knelt down to salute the Queen:

"Long live my emperor. I came from the frontier fortress day and night and am late. Please forgive me. I am willing to punish myself with three cups of wine!"

The queen lowered her head and played with the ring in her hand, but looked at the people below with interest. She gave a signal to the servant next to her. The man understood what he meant, and then took out three large bowls filled with wine, and ordered the servants to bring them.

In front of Yuge.

"Okay, today you are punishing yourself, and you are also alone. I will support you."

Yu Ge looked at the several bowls of sea food, without saying any unnecessary nonsense, he just picked them up one by one and drank every drop.

Then he stood up and said:

"It's bitterly cold at the frontier, your Majesty, please don't criticize the family of the Minister of War. Duke Wei should not be aggressive on this great day."

The Duke of Wei was choked by a junior. Although he looked bad, he didn't say anything else.

Everyone knows that Yuge, the young prince of the Jade Kingdom, was born with supernatural powers. He could carry a cauldron at the age of nine, went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen, and even volunteered to guard the border between the Southern Kingdom and Xuanyuan Kingdom at the age of fifteen.

.

Xuanyuan is good at building weapons and fighting.

After Yuge went there, he repeatedly defended Xuanyuan Kingdom's attacks, large and small, and defended the southern border towns, not to mention taking back several.

This stay lasted for ten years. When Zhou Ang and Wei Yu were enjoying the glory, wealth and power in Kyoto City, Yu Ge already understood the strategy of life and death and knew that people's hearts are dangerous.

And Duke Jade did not relax for a moment in Kyoto City. Whether they were merchants or petty officials, they all spoke surprisingly well of Duke Yu.

One is working in the city of Kyoto to pave roads, and the other is opening up territory in the frontier fortress. The mother and daughter have a clear division of labor, even though Duke Yu has been ill since the end of last year and is about to die.

But relying on the contacts accumulated in the past, once the Duke of Yu goes to Yuge and inherits the Duke of Yu, he can still defeat Zhou Ang and Wei Yu.

Duke Wei was very afraid of her, but he couldn't say anything in front of the queen.

"Well, I know that all the Aiqings have good intentions. Ruan Aiqing doesn't have to be so nervous. Yuge came back at the right time. Today, the flowers are full and the moon is full, and the whole family is happy. I will always think of those memories before..."

Everyone looked at Her Majesty the Queen and fell into memories, knowing that the most important thing to the Queen was the princess Nangong Rong who was born to her and the Queen. She was raised by the Queen's side from childhood, from poetry and song to music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Horse riding and archery were all taught by the Queen herself.

At this time, Nangong Rong was banned in the princess mansion.
