queen and pro

Chapter 19

When Lan Qin arrived at Zhaoyang Hall, the banquet was already full of people, and Concubine Li Gui was still sitting on Qi Tianyu's right hand.Lan Qin glanced around, and found that there seemed to be only an empty seat on Qi Tianyu's left, which was probably reserved for her, so she was not polite, and walked up to Qi Tianyu and bowed slightly without saying a word. Then he sat down under Li Guifei's jealous eyes.

Only then did Qi Tianyu announce the start of the banquet.This time, only a few humerus ministers were invited to accompany the banquet. There were few people, so Lan Qin was happy and relaxed.Except for drinking a glass of wine at the beginning, Lan Qin has been ignoring other people, and started to eat hard, joking, as for the state banquet, this kind of dinner is probably the only one in her life.

Concubine Li Gui on the right was very upset when she saw Lan Qin sitting on the left, because the custom of this era is to respect the left. Doesn't this show that Lan Qin has a higher status than herself?Therefore, at the beginning of the banquet, Concubine Li Gui was like an octopus, hanging on Qi Tianyu's body, with a mouthful of "Your Majesty, would you like to try this?"

For her actions, Qi Tianyu did not stop her. He showed his affection in front of many ministers and Feng Chenyi openly, but a pair of dark ink eyes glanced at Lan Qin from time to time. Who knew that Lan Qin seemed to be indifferent to the scene in front of him? As if they didn't see it, they ate and drank happily.Qi Tianyu's dark eyes couldn't help but deepen a bit, Li Guifei in front of him also felt his gaze, and lowered her eyelids to hide the hatred in her eyes.

After drinking for three rounds, Lan Qin's meal was almost finished, at this time Feng Chenyi suddenly stood up.

Only then did Lan Qin see his appearance clearly, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment, until Xiao Tao gently pulled her clothes behind her back, and she came back to her senses, sighing secretly, she deserves to be the best husband candidate in the eyes of all women in the world.Feng Chenyi is more than seven feet tall, with a face like a crown jade, a jade tree facing the wind, and a personable demeanor, but the gentle smile on his face makes Lan Qin's back go numb.Intuition told Lan Qin that Qi Tianyu was a more dangerous person.

"Empress Empress, I have a small gift from my Majesty Minglan to your empress, I hope your empress will accept it with a smile!" After finishing speaking, Feng Chenyi waved his hand, and seven maidservants lined up came out from behind, each with a hand Both hold a long box.

Lan Qin stared at him warily, and the rest of the people stopped what they were doing and stared at the box curiously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for me!" After Lan Qin finished speaking, she gave Xiao Tao a look behind her. Xiao Tao understood, and immediately brought two maids with her, ready to receive these boxes.

"Your Majesty, won't you open it and have a look?" Feng Chenyi never gave her this chance.

The rest of the ministers also looked at Lan Qin expectantly, wanting to see what Emperor Ming Lan gave Lan Qin.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient!" Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Lan Qin had no choice but to bite the bullet, stood up, and walked to Feng Chenyi's side. From the beginning to the end, Feng Chenyi had a beating smile on his face.

Lan Qin didn't say anything, walked over, turned his back to the outside of the hall, opened the first box on the left, and only glanced at it, the corner of Lan Qin's mouth couldn't help twitching.

The painting turned out to be a middle-aged old man with sagging skin, cloudy old eyes, slightly bald head, sallow complexion, and swollen eyes. He looked like a sensualist.

In the lower right corner of the painting is written a row of small characters: Emperor Minglan, 59 years old, three thousand beauties in the harem (the specifics cannot be verified), and have 12 sons and 38 daughters!
"This is the marriageable candidate of my Minglan royal family, and there are six other princes, the empress can check them one by one!" Feng Chenyi whispered standing beside her, because the screen blocked their faces, the ministers and the emperor in front Did not see clearly.

Hearing what he said, Lan Qin trembled with fright, and almost threw the painting on the ground, Feng Chenyi immediately put the painting away.He said to the ministers and the emperor: "The empress is so excited!"

Then he turned his head and said to Lan Qin, "Come on, empress, please see the second gift!"

Lan Qin doesn't need to guess, there is definitely nothing good in this second box, she originally planned to stop watching it and leave immediately, but when Feng Chenyi called it like this, she couldn't get off the horse, and had to hold back her nausea and continue watching go down.

The second picture is better. It shows a wretched man with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, crooked nose and slanted eyes. Remarks: Prince Minglan, 38 years old, one principal and two concubines with three concubines. He has 3 sons and 8 daughters. 18 years old!
After the round of blows just now, Lan Qin's ability to fight against blows has jumped to a new level. Seeing this painting, she just frowned.

Knowing that this Feng Chenyi did not know which tendon has made a mistake, he will definitely not let him go.Lan Qin didn't bother with him, and went to see the portraits one by one.

The third one was a guy with fat head and big ears, comparable to Zhu Bajie, and what was even more disgusting was that there was a lustful light in his eyes.

The fourth one has a pockmarked face, except for the pockmarks, there is no room for two inches of cleanness. Lan Qin almost vomited out the rice he just ate.

The fifth one looks weirder, with a big left cheek and a small right cheek, extremely asymmetrical, very funny, even more funny than a clown.Lan Qin couldn't help but laughed out loud, which made all the ministers present stunned.

"Empress, why are you so happy?" Qi Tianyu saw Lan Qin staring at the painting, only showing the right side of his face, smiling like a flower, and it made people look crazy for a moment, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, always feeling that something was wrong with him .

Lan Qin glanced at Feng Chenyi beside him, a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then grabbed the painting beside him, rolled the row of characters below it, only the face was exposed, then turned around, put Show it to the ministers and the emperor.

The ministers all stretched their necks, aimed hard, and finally saw the man in the painting clearly, and couldn't help laughing.

"There are still such strange looking men in this world!"

"That's right, Prime Minister Feng, this is a clown who performed in your country, it really looks like it!"

"Ming Lan is so sincere that she actually made such a gadget to make the Empress happy!"

"Prime Minister Feng, may Daqi and Minglan be forever in love for a hundred years, I offer you a toast!"

The ministers who were slightly drunk also removed their usual serious faces and appeared much more amiable, which made the atmosphere of the whole banquet a lot easier.

Feng Chenyi still had that gentle and harmless smile on his face, thanked him softly, took the wine glass and drank it down, then looked at Lan Qin with a half-smile.

Originally I thought I could fix this guy, but he didn't care. Lan Qin felt uncomfortable. She turned around and buried her head in the painting before asking in a low voice.

"Didn't His Majesty Minglan have 12 princes? Why are there only 6 here?"
