The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Everything is ready for the banquet and it will start soon.

The Queen Mother sat in the main seat in the inner hall, carefully looking through the expenses needed for this trip.

"Don't waste money, just cut back on what needs to be cut back." Shu Renhui was taught by her father, who was honest and frugal, and was very dissatisfied with the emperor's extravagant behavior. But the emperor was incompetent and would not listen to her, so she could only cut back on what she could do on weekdays.

"Yes!"

The people below were busy taking care of it.

"Empress, this is the list that the Prime Minister asked me to give you." A eunuch came in hurriedly, knelt down in front of the queen, and presented an account book with both hands.

The senior palace maid beside the Queen took it.

Shu Renhui asked, "Where is the Prime Minister?"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister just left not long ago," the eunuch replied.

The banquet is about to begin, where is he going?

Shu Renhui's mind suddenly flashed back to his elegant smile like that of a bamboo, and her heart sank.

"The Queen is really capable. She has prepared the banquet in such a short time." A sweet laugh suddenly came from outside.

Shu Renhui looked over coldly, and saw a gorgeous woman, swaying with a charming figure, walking in with a smile.

"Why are you the only one who is given the title of Imperial Concubine? Where is the Emperor?" Shu Renhui asked.

"Your Highness, I see you." Feng Lanyue walked slowly to the front, bowed casually, and sat down on the side. She stretched out her slender jade hand and yawned, "Your Highness has worked too hard, so he is naturally taking a rest. So, he ordered me to come over. Otherwise, I would not be willing to come."

Shu Renhui's face darkened, and she was obviously angry. "The emperor is in poor health, but you not only don't care about his health, but also ask for too much. If anything happens to the emperor, I will never forgive you!"

After hearing this, Feng Lanyue curled her lips and showed an indifferent attitude.

The concubines who were about to enter the door were so frightened that their bodies shuddered.

The leading concubine, Lady Shufei Yun Cairou, hurriedly walked up to the Empress, bowed obediently, and immediately explained: "Empress, calm down. Yesterday, Your Majesty was upset and came to my palace and asked me to drink with him, so..."

"Sister, are you pushing all the blame onto the Emperor?" Feng Lanyue, who was watching the fun, made a sarcastic remark.

Yun Cairou's face froze, and she said hurriedly, "No, your concubine..."

"That's enough!" Shu Renhui's face darkened, and a hint of anger appeared on her face. "If you really care about the emperor, you must put the emperor's health first in the future and never act recklessly!"

The Queen was angry. Yun Cairou was so frightened that she dared not say anything more and could only swallow her anger.

Feng Lanyue was not afraid. She glanced at the trembling concubines with sarcasm, then stood up and stretched, "It's really boring. I'd better go out for a walk to avoid staying here and affecting my mood."

As the most favored concubine, she is so willful that she doesn't even take the queen seriously.

Feng Lanyue swayed her slender waist and walked away.

As soon as she left, the hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Shu Renhui's face was serious, and she looked dignified without being angry. "Everyone, please sit down."

As soon as he finished speaking, the concubines sat down one after another according to their rank.

All the concubines above the rank of imperial concubine came on this trip, except for Concubine De, who was in poor health and was recuperating in the palace.

They were not Feng Lanyue, who could give the empress a cold shoulder by relying on the emperor's favor. Even the concubine Yun Cairou, who gave birth to twins for the emperor, was wary of the empress.

Shu Renhui was not the emperor's first wife, but the empress dowager. However, she was extremely strict with her subjects and she hated people who did not respect the rules the most.

She sat there with a cold face, not saying a word, and the concubines sitting below didn't even dare to breathe.

……

Along the way, Qu Qingyan met many people who tried to get close to her, including princes and court officials.

She always smiled and refused in a distant manner.

In this way, she could have arrived at the banquet venue earlier, but was delayed for a long time until she met the handsome man who came to look for her.

"Prime Minister Qu!"

Seeing his father coming over, Qu Qingyan smiled.

"Yan...Yan Qing, why did you come out? Why didn't you wait for...me to find you." The handsome man frowned, and the concern in his eyes was undisguised.

Qu Qingyan walked forward and replied, "I'm bored, so I came out for a walk."

The two of them walked side by side towards the banquet venue. On the way, Qu Qingyan told the story of the princes and court officials trying to establish relationships with each other.

"No need to pay attention to them." As a powerful official, Qu Honglin never takes others seriously.

Looking at the handsome man who looked down upon the world, a trace of guilt appeared in Qu Qingyan's eyes.

Her father was a supreme hero who looked down upon everything. However, because of her foolish daughter, he fell into poverty and was killed by a scumbag and a vicious woman.

Mo Li and Qu Xinzhu took advantage of her stupidity to threaten her father to give up his military power, and then joined forces with the mortal enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion to wipe out the root of the problem.

She was the one who let him down!

Seeing that his daughter was silent and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, Qu Honglin said gently, "But I'm tired."

"Dad, you have to promise your daughter one thing. No matter what happens in the future, you must not give up the power in your hands!" Qu Qingyan suddenly stopped, leaned close to his ear, and spoke in a low voice.

He is very strong, second only to one man and above ten thousand others.

He was weak, simply because he was a father and had her as his weak spot.

Qu Honglin smiled. Seeing her serious expression, he reached out and touched her little head, whispering, "Don't worry, your father will definitely be able to protect you!"

As long as he lives, no one can bully his daughter!

"I know." Qu Qingyan had tears in his eyes.

She naturally knew that he was capable of protecting her as long as she stopped doing stupid things.

Of course, the mistakes of the previous life will never be made again in this life!

Seeing her crying, Qu Honglin hurriedly asked, "Did someone bully you?"

His daughter was sad and cried from time to time, and the secret guards reported this to him.

He was worried that someone might hurt his daughter, after all, she was already grown up. But he didn't dare to ask too much, fearing that the hard-earned harmonious relationship between father and daughter would be ruined.

"It's okay, it's just that my daughter can now better understand the hardships that father has gone through." Qu Qingyan's tears faded and she smiled again.

Qu Honglin breathed a sigh of relief and patted her head lovingly, "You kid."

Dad is so annoying, he always likes to touch her head.

Qu Qingyan's eyes twitched.

The two continued to move forward.

However, the intimate behavior between the two people just now was seen by someone with ulterior motives, and soon it reached the ears of the master behind the scenes.

Qu Qingyan knew that someone was watching them in the dark, so she deliberately lowered her voice so that they couldn't hear what they were talking about. As for the rest, she didn't need to care about it.

She thought so, but she didn't expect that not long after, rumors spread in the capital that Prime Minister Qu was still a homosexual.

Because Qu Honglin was not interested in women, the rumor became more and more intense and out of control.
