The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

At this moment, in a secluded palace, Qu Qingyan was holding the teacup and drinking tea leisurely.

"Miss, it's already so late, why don't you go over and take a look?" Lvliu, who was standing beside her, had an anxious look on her face. She kept looking outside and urged, "The old lady and the others are already here. If we don't go over, it will be too late."

Qu Qingyan didn't care. He smiled and took the cake in front of him and handed it to her, "Lvliu, are you tired of standing? Sit down and taste the cakes in the palace. How about comparing them to the ones in our Prime Minister's Mansion? If they are delicious, let my father dig this imperial chef to our Prime Minister's Mansion."

After eating too much delicacies from land and sea, she wanted to change her taste. Not to mention, this pastry chef was quite good at making pastries, which were sweet but not greasy, and suited her taste.

"Miss, the banquet has already started, you should go and take a look. If you are really late, and Qu Xinzhu takes your place and does whatever she wants, it will also damage your reputation. Besides, I don't want to see her showing off her power by using your name." Lvliu couldn't resist the temptation. After taking the plate, she took a piece of cake and took a bite, but still urged her to go over quickly.

The stunning woman shook her head and said with a smile, "You, you don't understand. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. I will let her show off her power, and when she is at her most proud, I will give her a fatal blow."

The show had just begun and Qu Xinzhu hadn't sung the most exciting part yet. It would be a real spoiler if she went over now.

She had to let Qu Xinzhu show her face, preferably making her the focus of the whole audience and the center of everyone's attention. This way, when the skin on her face was exposed, she would be in excruciating pain.

[Host, you are smart. If we go there now, we won't cause any harm to Qu Xinzhu. At most, she will be talked about and punished a little, and she will get away with it by relying on the heroine's halo. But if we wait until she is full of pride and then go there, the effect will be different. At that time...] The little one laughed evilly twice.

Seeing that the young lady had something planned, Luliu felt relieved and ate her snacks in peace.

As time passed, a spy came to report that the young ladies from the aristocratic families were showing off their talents and it would soon be Qu Xinzhu's turn.

Qu Qingyan then calmly put down the teacup and said to Lvliu, who was eating so much that her belly was bulging, "Let's go."

"Miss, are we going to the Imperial Garden?" Lvliu asked with sobs as she hurriedly stuffed the last piece of cake into her mouth.

"You girl, you eat cakes like a child, and you get them all over your body." Qu Qingyan picked up a handkerchief to wipe the residue from the corners of her mouth, then smiled and replied, "No hurry, let's go to the imperial study first."

"Miss, what are we going to the imperial study for? Isn't that where His Majesty stays?" Lvliu was very confused.

Qu Qingyan did not explain so much. He tapped the ignorant maid's head and went out first.

In the harem, there were countless palace maids and eunuchs, busy running around in groups of three or five.

The two of them walked in the harem and had a smooth journey.

This also requires us to praise her father, a treacherous minister with great connections, for having placed so many people in the palace, which also gave her a lot of conveniences.

"Young Master, the Emperor is discussing matters in the Imperial Study and is about to go out for a flower-viewing banquet." On the way, a spy quietly walked up to her, whispered something, and quickly left.

Qu Qingyan understood. She came here on time just to meet the old emperor and go to the flower-viewing banquet together.

At first she had no intention of letting the old emperor get involved, as she could still handle it herself, but who knew that Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua would also come.

They are Qu Xinzhu's biological mother and grandmother, so naturally they will side with her.

She could take action against Qu Xinzhu, but Qu Wenshi was the old lady of the Qu family, and was her grandmother. If she spoke against her in front of everyone, she would be accused of being unfilial.

In this era where filial piety is so important, she was not afraid, but she did not want to cause trouble. Therefore, she went with the old emperor, and when she faced her three generations of ancestors, even if Qu Wenshi made trouble, she would not dare to do anything in front of the king.

[The host is smart. Qu Wenshi is now taking advantage of her seniority and her title as the prime minister's mother to bully others at the flower viewing banquet. Even the queen and the imperial concubine are respectful to her, not to mention others. She and Qu Xinzhu are having a great time at the banquet. Everyone sees how close they are. Even if a few insiders know Qu Xinzhu's identity, they keep silent for fear of touching on Qu Wenshi, the prime minister's mother.]

Qu Qingyan sneered in his heart.

Prime Minister’s mother?

In order to protect her family business, she did not hesitate to switch parents, killed her grandparents and took her father away to raise him in the Qu family.

To be honest, she was the enemy who destroyed her father's family, not to mention that she and her daughter later joined forces to indirectly kill her mother.

Her father didn't kill her because he had given her the last bit of kindness in raising her. He just sent her back to the old house of the Qu family. If she had behaved herself, she could have lived out her life in peace and died of old age. But she didn't repent and continued to abuse her power.

Want to step on her to pave the way for her granddaughter?

They are afraid they will be disappointed.

After walking for a long time, when she arrived at the door of the imperial study, she saw the old emperor walking out.

"Your Majesty, I am Qu Qingyan, your humble servant, here to pay my respects to Him." She bowed and greeted with an elegant and graceful manner.

The old emperor was still in shock when he saw the stunning woman in front of him. He only came to his senses after hearing her introduce herself. He was amazed and surprised, "Yan Qing, you... why are you here? I can't recognize you after you changed back into women's clothes. It turns out that you look better in women's clothes. You don't look like a tomboy anymore."

"I heard that my father was in the imperial study, so I wanted to come and find him." Qu Qingyan lied without blushing or beating her heart.

The old emperor replied, "Qu Aiqing went back home after the court session and is not in the imperial study. I guess you missed Qu Aiqing when you entered the palace."

"I see. I am a little disappointed." Qu Qingyan showed a hint of disappointment on her face, and then asked, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"There's a flower-viewing banquet being held in the Imperial Garden. I have nothing to do, so I'll go join in the fun." The old emperor stroked his beard and replied with a smile.

Qu Qingyan's eyes flickered and she smiled slightly, "It just so happens that I am going there too, so why not accompany Your Majesty?"

The old emperor was naturally happy.

Behind the two of them was a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, marching towards the imperial garden in a mighty procession.

Along the way, Qu Qingyan was talkative and chatted a lot with the old emperor, which made the old emperor admire her very much and said bluntly that like father, like daughter.
