Chapter 43: Inviting the Messenger

Shengping Hall

There are two chairs in the middle of Shengping Hall, which are the seats of the emperor and the queen.

Ning Youbei sat down after the first case on his right hand, and Qu Chu sat next to Ning Youbei.

Qu Chu didn't look at the others, but poured wine on his own.

"Achu, drink less. After the banquet is on, many people will come to toast, and you will have to drink it."

After hearing Ning Youbei say this, Qu Chu's drinking movements slowed down and no longer drank one drink at a time.

Seeing that Qu Chuken followed his advice, Ning Youbei felt soft inside. He personally poured Qu Chu a glass of wine, "If Achu likes to drink, I will drink more with you in the future."

Qu Chu did not respond, but the expression on his face became softer.

Before the formal meeting was officially started, the eunuch reported that the envoy from the Haiqing Division had arrived.

Qu Chu then looked up at the entrance of the hall.

Hai Lizhu was wearing a red dress and a red gauze mask, and came slowly surrounded by several envoys. She was still as graceful and brilliant as she was.

Hai Lizhu also saw Ning Youbei and Qu Chu, and she walked towards them.

"Prince, General Qu".

Although he was covered in his face, Qu Chu could still notice the smile on Hai Lizhu's face when he saw them. After all, he had been walking on the road together for more than a month, and Hai Lizhu felt that the two were more intimate than the others.

Qu Chu has always had a cold face, but when he saw Hai Lizhu, he still showed a difficult smile.

Hai Lizhu knew that Qu Chu was serious and never laughed a few times along the way, but she didn't feel cold. But the officials of the Dayu Dynasty who were watching next to her didn't think so.

They think Qu Chu is too arrogant!

Hai Lizhu sat down opposite Ning Youbei, and the messengers who came with her also sat down one after another.

The hour of You is correct

The eunuch reported that the emperor and the empress arrived.

Qu Chu stood up to greet the crowd. She did not look up, so she did not notice the queen's fierce look at her.

After the banquet started, the emperor said a few words to welcome the envoy of the Haiqing tribe, saying that he was willing to make friends with the Haiqing tribe forever.

The messenger of the Haiqing tribe stood up and toasted:

"Our Haiqing tribe is willing to have a good relationship with the Dayu Kingdom forever. We will bring the pearl of our tribe to Yudu, hoping to establish a good marriage with the people of Dayu Kingdom."

Ning Youbei also took the opportunity to stand up:

"Hai Lizhu is the number one beauty in the tribes in the west. The emperor has canceled the draft this year. Why not just put Hai Lizhu in the harem?"

The messenger of the Haiqing tribe quickly explained: "If Your Majesty can bring Hai Lizhu into the harem, it is an honor for our Haiqing tribe."

This is something that has been agreed upon for a long time, but now it is just a superficial work.

Before the emperor could speak, the queen spoke first.

"If you want His Majesty to be included in the harem, you have to see if you are qualified enough. This veil covers you. Who knows how you look? It's not that you say you are the number one beauty or the number one beauty."

The queen is really arrogant!

Qu Chu looked up at the queen after hearing this.

The queen is in her thirties and has thick powder on her face. She can't tell whether her facial features are good-looking, but sitting next to the emperor, she looks older than the emperor and has a worse appearance than the emperor.

Qu Chu had never looked at the emperor carefully before, but then he realized that the emperor was also good-looking. Although he was not as gorgeous as Ning Youbei, he also had his own charm and was still a bit tempting.

Thinking of this, Qu Chu calmed down a little for Hai Lizhu. Facing such an emperor, Hai Lizhu would at least not feel disgusted.

However, the emperor's expression was not very happy at this time.

Yes, he didn't even say anything, but was squeezed by the queen with a gun and a stick. How could he be happy?

If it were normal, Qu Chu would never have participated in these things, but now it is different.

Marrying with the Haiqing tribe was her idea, it was a political measure, and it had a lot to do with whether the tribes in the west could be stable.

Qu Chu stood up:

"Your Majesty, I have seen Hai Lizhu, and I am indeed extremely beautiful. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one beauty in the tribes in the west. Moreover, Hai Lizhu is the younger sister of the leader of the Haiqing tribe, and his identity is not inferior to that of the people in the harem.

I believe that it is a great thing for the Emperor to be able to bring Hai Lizhu into the harem."

The queen had long disliked Qu Chu, and she didn't know where the wild breed came from, so she dared not give her face.

"What does General Qu mean by saying this? How can the sister of a small tribe leader compare with the daughters of the important officials of the Dayu Kingdom? Isn't General Qu suspected of colluding with the enemy?"

A general was said to be a serious crime to collude with the enemy. Even if Qu Chu did not get angry, he would not allow others to slander himself like this.

"If I remember correctly, the Empress's grandfather was just a seventh-rank lieutenant in the army. Before the Empress became the Empress, Duke Wei was only a third-rank official. If it weren't for the wife's nobleness, I really couldn't see how noble the Empress's identity was.

Even if the Haiqing tribe is not a very powerful tribe, it is still an independent tribe, like a small country. Hai Lizhu's ancestors have been the leader of the Haiqing tribe for more than a hundred years. I seem to be more noble than the Queen's identity as a family.

As for the Queen's suspicion of collusion with the enemy, I dare not agree.

I joined the army at the age of 15 and have been killing the enemy for 11 years. I wonder where the Empress was 11 years ago? Are you killing the enemy for the country like me?"

Qu Chu's words could be said to have not given the queen any face, and she did not call herself a "member".

For people like the queen, Qu Chu did not want to be wronged and called himself a "member".

After Qu Chu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the audience became very strange.

Those who were able to attend this banquet were officials and family members of the third rank and above in the Dayu Kingdom. Some of them had good transportation with the Queen and Wei Kingdom buses, while others were opposite the Queen and the others.

But no matter which side, in such a public place, they would not speak so mercilessly like Qu Chu, without even a trace of fig leaf.

What Prime Minister Fang is thinking now is:

I used to know that General Qu would fight, but I didn’t expect that her eloquence would be so good!

Didn’t she say she was serious and not good at speaking? It’s true that she was serious but where did she start with this insult?

Ning Youbei did not hide his appreciation at all. He looked at Qu Chu with affection that he had never paid attention to.

The queen was so angry that she trembled all over. A small general dared to say that to herself!

She took a heavy photo of the case:

"Bold Qu Chu, who gave you the courage to let you talk to me like this? Do you still have the king's laws in your eyes? Do you still have the magnanimity?"

Qu Chu's expression was still cold.

"I have the law of the king in my eyes, and I have the magnanimity in my eyes, but I respect the emperor, and the emperor is also loyal to him!"

This is not right at all!

But he doesn't give the queen even more face!

The queen was about to say something, and Duke Wei stood up.
Chapter completed!
