Dragon King Awakens in the Interstellar

Chapter 251 250: The Palace Banquet

In fact, Long Jiu is more willing to believe in the statement that human nature is inherently evil than the statement that human nature is inherently good.

Human beings are born with the five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, slowness, suspicion, and in the process of growing up, most people can restrain themselves after acquired teaching, but there is another part of people. Positive energy, it is also difficult for them to suppress the evil in their hearts, and there will always be evil thoughts in their hearts at a certain moment, but this kind of people will still hesitate before doing evil, or lose due to extreme emotions. reason to do evil.

But there are still a very small number of people, they are like born bad, they have evil thoughts towards everyone and everything from the very beginning, they are paranoid, selfish, extreme egoism, even if they smile all the time, but in their hearts But all evil thoughts.

Lu Qingzhu is the last kind of person, born with bad seeds.

As the only daughter of the Canglang Star Lu family, she enjoys a rich life that many people in the world can't even imagine. She was spoiled by her parents and brothers since she was a child. The eldest lady of the family, but no one knows that this flower that has been pampered and grown up is hiding the poison that sees blood and seals the throat. No one knows that under the fertile soil, the roots of this precious delicate flower have long since rotted. .

No one knows why she looks like this, people in the Lu family don't know, and presumably they didn't think of it the night before the death of Emperor Zhaoxu.

But Long Jiu knew that because of Lu Qingzhu's desire for power, Lu Qingzhu, whose heart and roots were already rotten, inflated his desire even more.A person like her will never be satisfied. She feels that her family treats her well, and she feels that she deserves it.

But she would not be satisfied, the better the late emperor treated her, the deeper her desire would be, and she would even secretly think, why couldn't the late emperor treat her better?
And when the late emperor was seriously injured, Lu Qingzhu's first reaction was not to find a way to cure the late emperor, nor to cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Her first thought was that if the late emperor died, what would she do?Who can give her such a noble life like now, even if the prince is her own son, she doesn't think that after the prince succeeds to the throne, she will be pampered like the first emperor.

Therefore, after the first emperor was seriously injured, she immediately thought of changing the emperor to someone else, and this person happened to be Xiao Junchen who was interested in her at that time.

Lu Qingzhu felt that as long as she helped Xiao Junchen become the emperor, then the future queen would still be herself, and she would be the same as now, the most honorable woman in the empire.

After her son succeeds to the throne, she will be the queen mother, but how can a queen mother be as honorable as a queen?

So Lu Qingzhu and Xiao Junchen teamed up to poison the late emperor while he was recuperating from his serious injury.

She didn't care at all whether the serious injury of the late emperor could be cured at that time, she only cared about whether it would affect her status.

Lu Qingzhu is such a woman who is so selfish and wicked that it makes people gnash their teeth and at the same time thinks she is ridiculously stupid. For such a woman, even if she is Xiao Tingyun's biological mother, Long Jiu still looks down on her.

Every time this woman was mentioned, the look of contempt in Long Jiu's eyes and face was completely undisguised.

Mrs. Lu also saw Long Jiu's attitude towards Lu Qingzhu, so she never mentioned that she wanted to see Lu Qingzhu again.

After the two of them had lunch in the Heqing Haiyan Palace, Long Jiu accompanied Mrs. Lu to play and watch here all afternoon. It was not until evening that Uncle Qian and Bo Chen both came over and invited them to the banquet hall to attend the dinner.

When the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he naturally had a big banquet for the ministers at night. When Long Jiu and Mrs. Lu passed by, they saw many ministers and their family members coming outside the banquet hall from a distance.

Long Jiu took Mrs. Lu and found Long Jihuai in the crowd. It happened that Lu Junxiao was also there, so the two walked over together.

Long Jihuai and Lu Junxiao are the commander-in-chief of the Long family army, and the head of the Canglang star regiment. No matter their official positions or their family backgrounds, no matter where they go, there will be many people who come to greet them. .

Long Jiu looked at Long Jihuai who was surrounded by a group of people. At first she didn't want to squeeze, but Lu Junxiao in the crowd spotted Mrs. Lu who was outside the crowd. Lu Junxiao's originally expressionless face suddenly revealed She gave a gentle smile, then squeezed past the people around her and walked towards Mrs. Lu.

With Lu Junxiao making such a move, the others and Long Jihuai naturally noticed them too.

Compared with Lu Junxiao's thoughtfulness to his wife, Long Jihuai raised his eyebrows and shouted at Long Jiu: "What are you still doing standing there? I haven't seen anyone all day, come here quickly."

Long Jiu dawdled and didn't want to go there, but Mrs. Lu beside her had already been taken away by Lu Junxiao, so she could only reluctantly move towards Long Jihuai.

The people on the side couldn't help laughing and said: "Miss Long hasn't attended the palace banquet for many years, this time the commander-in-chief is finally willing to bring out his precious granddaughter."

"It's no wonder the commander-in-chief hid it tightly. If I had such a beautiful granddaughter, I would hide it too."

Listening to the jokes of the people around him, Long Jihuai couldn't help laughing and said: "It's because I hid it tightly. I didn't let her participate in the palace banquet before because she was not in good health. Now that I have recovered, that's why I let her go." She came out and walked around."

Long Jiu glanced at Long Jihuai upon hearing this, and muttered in her heart, why didn't she know that Long Jiujiu was in poor health?It was clearly the bad old man who was afraid that Long Jiujiu would be bullied if his naive little white flower was released, and he was worried about the emperor at that time, so he didn't allow Longjiujiu to appear in the palace banquet.

But Long Jiu was muttering in her heart, but she still knew that she wanted to give this bad old man face in front of others, so she pretended to be more obedient than anyone else, standing obediently beside Long Jihuai, whenever other people around her said Whatever, she kept a cute smirk on her face.

Just when Long Jiu felt that his face was going to freeze with laughter, Lu Wei hurried over from behind the crowd.

Everyone present didn't know that Lu Wei was the most capable person around the new emperor, so even though Lu Wei's official position was not as high as theirs, these people still greeted him warmly and kindly after seeing him.

Lu Wei nodded to everyone with a cold face. When he faced Long Jihuai and Lu Junxiao, he finally had a little smile on his face. He first nodded to them, and then said to Long Jiu: "Your Majesty is looking for you. Let the subordinates take you there first."

Long Jiu blinked and looked sideways at Long Jihuai.

Others' eyes flashed when they heard the words, but they smiled more kindly when they looked at Long Jiu.

Long Jihuai hummed in his heart angrily, but still nodded and said: "Since His Majesty is looking for it, then you should go with Major Lu first."

Long Jiu was happy in his heart, but kept a reserved and decent smile on his face. Then he greeted Lu Junxiao and Mrs. Lu, and happily followed Lu Wei away.

Finally getting rid of the group of people, Long Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that her reserved complacency disappeared immediately, she poked Lu Wei's arm with her finger, and asked, "Brother, where is he now? "

"It's in the lounge behind the banquet hall." Lu Wei always had some respect for Long Jiu, so he always spoke cautiously and respectfully, "Your Majesty wants you to attend the dinner with him later."

Long Jiu was a little taken aback, "I'm with him? Isn't that appropriate?"

Don't think that she can fool her because she doesn't read much, then she also knows that the only person who can attend a dinner like a state banquet with the emperor is the empress.

She is not his queen yet.

Lu Wei seemed to have known that she would ask such a question, and said directly: "Your Majesty said, just take this opportunity to rectify his name. You attended the dinner with Your Majesty, which is to tell everyone that you are the future of the Xingluo Empire." Empress, lest some people want to make any crooked ideas out of greed."

Long Jiu immediately became vigilant, "What do you mean? Who wants to make a wrong idea? What kind of wrong idea do you want to make?"

Looking at Long Jiu, who was instantly vigilant, Lu Wei truthfully repeated Xiao Tingyun's original words, "In the past, your majesty was the prince, so some people could still restrain themselves, but now that the prince has become your majesty, some people will be splashed. Heaven's wealth and power have been deceived by lard, and His Majesty is impatient to deal with those things that cannot be put on the table, so I can only trouble you to attend with him, and help His Majesty block those people's lust for profit."

Long Jiu blinked, and understood that her feelings made her occupy the queen's position in advance, so that those who wanted to beat Xiao Jiujiu could see clearly who was the future queen.

Long Jiu wanted to understand Hou Yile, she was very happy to do this, so she waved her hand and said, "Understood, if you dare to grab men from me, I will break their claws."

Lu Wei: "."

A moment later, outside the lounge at the back of the banquet hall, Lu Wei pushed open the door but did not go in. Instead, he turned sideways to pass. After Long Jiu entered, he closed the door very considerately, and stayed outside to guard.

After Long Jiu entered, he immediately saw Xiao Tingyun who was resting on the sofa.

Xiao Tingyun was still wearing the black imperial uniform from this morning. Long Jiu felt itchy when he saw him wearing this at the time, and now there were no outsiders at all. She rushed over slowly without waiting for Xiao Tingyun Yun opened his eyes and threw himself on top of him with a whimper.

Xiao Tingyun opened his eyes with a light smile, looked down at Long Jiu who kept rubbing against his body, and said with a smile: "Do you like to see me wear this?"

Long Jiuceng was happy, raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes, "I like it."

Xiao Tingyun smiled, lowered his head and kissed her on the tip of the nose, and said, "From now on, I will wear this outfit every day, so you can see enough."

Not only did Long Jiu want to see enough, but she also wanted to touch it.

Touching the epaulettes on her shoulders, and then touching the ribbon on her chest, she pretended to say, "Hey, isn't it too rebellious for me to eat His Majesty's tofu like this?"

Xiao Tingyun suppressed a smile and said, "It's okay, His Majesty allows you to eat tofu."

Long Jiu immediately showed a moved expression, "Brother Xiao, you are so kind~~~"

Brother Xiao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What's this called?"

Long Jiu's eyes rolled, and he immediately changed his words: "Then I'm called Brother Emperor now?"

Xiao Tingyun narrowed his eyes slowly, dissatisfied and said: "Why don't you call me husband?"

Long Jiu yelled, and said shyly, "That's not good, I'm not married, so I can't call that nonsense."

Her shy expression made Xiao Tingyun laugh directly, and when Xiao Tingyun smiled, Long Jiu followed suit, and the two laughed together on the sofa instantly.

After the two had had enough trouble, Xiao Tingyun touched Long Jiu's face, and asked gently: "I haven't seen you all day today, I heard that you and your aunt spent the whole afternoon at the Prince's Hall?"

"Yes." Long Jiu is not surprised that Xiao Tingyun will know, after all Xiao Tingyun can rest assured that she is not in front of him, so he must always let people watch her and report his whereabouts to him at all times.

Being listened to all the time and having to report their whereabouts, Long Jiu didn't feel unhappy either, she said happily: "This afternoon, my aunt and I visited your Heqinghaiyan Temple for a while. all over."

"Aren't you tired after walking around for so long?" Xiao Tingyun asked with a smile.

Long Jiu shook his head and snorted softly: "My aunt doesn't even feel tired, how could I feel tired? Look down on me!"

After finishing speaking, Long Jiu paused again, and then said: "But today my aunt mentioned that she wants to meet that woman."

Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows.

Long Jiu quickly said again: "But I refused."

Xiao Tingyun chuckled, "Auntie is a nostalgic person, if it weren't for the fact that the woman's current appearance is really unsightly, there is nothing wrong with asking Auntie to meet her."

"That's what I said too." Long Jiu said with a smile: "I explained it to my aunt, and I also described the current appearance of that woman well. My aunt seems to be frightened."

Xiao Tingyun looked at her with a half-smile, then tapped the tip of Long Jiu's nose lightly, and said, "You're just kidding, you scared my aunt, and you don't worry about uncle coming to trouble you."

Long Jiu immediately proudly said: "Don't be afraid, my brother will protect me. Even if you can't stand up, brother, uncle can't beat me."

Xiao Tingyun was almost turned off by her laughter, he really wanted to see the scene where his uncle couldn't beat his children.

It has to be said that Long Jiu is weak and bad, and Xiao Tingyun is not too bad.

The two lingered in the lounge for a long time before Lu Wei's reminder came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the time is up, it's time to pass."

Xiao Tingyun got up with Long Jiu in his arms, first straightened Long Jiu's clothes and hair, then his own, and then took Long Jiu's hand, and the two left the lounge together.

The banquet hall was already full of people, and a shout of "Your Majesty is here" interrupted the conversation in the hall.

Everyone stood up at the same time and looked out the door. After a while, the new emperor, dressed in an emperor's uniform, walked in together leading Long Jiu.

After everyone saw the ceremony, many people quietly turned their eyes to look at Long Jihuai, but the commander had a calm expression on his face, as if the person brought in by His Majesty's hand was not his granddaughter.

Moreover, after Xiao Tingyun led Long Jiu in, he did not send her to sit next to the commander in chief, but led her all the way to the throne.

At this time, you can see Lu Wei's ability. As soon as the two of them came up, Lu Wei had brought someone to move a new table and chair, which happened to be placed next to the emperor's seat.

The other people in the hall took a breath. Everyone present knew what His Majesty's intention was.

Your Majesty is telling everyone that the only descendant of the Long family will be the future queen.

Even if the wedding has not yet been held, His Majesty will allow the future queen to exercise the privileges of the queen in advance.

Others still sighed in their hearts that His Majesty really cared about his fiancée, but Long Jihuai was very satisfied with His Majesty's current behavior.

That's how it should be!

Everyone should know that His Majesty didn't care about his fiancée because of Emperor Zhaoxu's command, or because of the power of the Long family, but that he really wanted to belong.

You must know that the commander-in-chief was so angry that he wanted to hit someone because of the temptation or sourness in the words of many people before the banquet. Now His Majesty the Emperor personally led Long Jiu to appear, and took Long Jiu to sit beside the emperor's throne. It's not that I slapped those who wanted to slap Xiao Jiujiu a loud slap in the face.

Fame is really important!
It doesn't matter what some people at the banquet thought, but Long Jiu enjoyed it very much.

As expected of a state banquet, the royal chefs in the palace have shown their housekeeping skills, and they have prepared every dish with great care.

Long Jiu didn't have to worry about those intrigues, and she didn't have to deal with those people, she just had to concentrate on eating, and besides Xiao Tingyun who kept serving her food, Long Jiu ate more happily.

Like the coronation ceremony in the morning, this dinner was broadcast live across the empire, so the tens of billions of people who watched the live broadcast saw Long Jiu sitting next to the emperor's throne and concentrating on eating.

The barrage in the live broadcast room all turned into haha, because the scene where Long Jiu was concentrating on eating made her a lot of fans unintentionally.

Many people laughed and said that the future queen is cute on the live broadcast. This is the first time they saw Her Royal Highness only focus on eating at the state banquet.

At the same time, Xiao Tingyun, the new emperor, had countless fans. The reason for his popularity was because he only stared at Long Jiu beside him at the dinner party, focusing on serving Long Jiu.

For a moment, the new emperor Xiao Tingyun and the future queen Long Jiu, an unmarried couple, instantly became a national couple. In just one night, several fan clubs of the two appeared on the interstellar network.
