The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Chapter 16: Banquet Trouble in Progress

When they arrived at the banquet venue, the princes and adults were greeting each other. When they saw the handsome man coming, they immediately stepped forward to greet him.

Qu Honglin said a few perfunctorily, then took the handsome young man to the first seat on the left side of the main seat.

"Yan Qing, just sit next to me." Qu Honglin naturally had to arrange a good seat for his daughter.

Qu Qingyan wanted to refuse, but everyone was staring at her, so she bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."

As soon as the two of them sat down, a palace maid came forward to pour wine.

At this moment, a shrill voice sounded.

"The Queen is here!"

Immediately, there was a sound of kneeling.

Shu Renhui walked in with a group of concubines and palace maids. Her face was serious and she looked as if she didn't want anyone to approach her.

Qu Qingyan lowered his head slightly and knelt beside the wine table.

When the phoenix arrived in front of her, it suddenly stopped.

Then a cold voice sounded, "Prime Minister Qu, the emperor is tired and will not come tonight. I will trouble you tonight and tomorrow's hunting and other matters."

"I obey your order!" Qu Honglin responded.

Qu Qingyan felt an unfriendly gaze on his back, which disappeared in an instant.

"Be flat."

Everyone stood up one by one. Just as they were about to sit down, they heard the eunuch's shrill voice again.

"The royal concubine is here!"

Everyone greeted each other again.

After the fragrant breeze faded away, everyone sat down peacefully.

Qu Qingyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her previous life, she didn't like going out, and she never attended palace banquets or banquets for court officials' wives. She had to accept these red tape and various rules only after she married into the Liwang Mansion.

Now that she thinks about it, she was really out of her mind to end up like that for a man.

In the lower middle position, Mo Li suddenly felt a gaze mixed with hatred and murderous intent falling on him. He looked up but could not find out who did it.

He looked around, and finally his eyes met Mo Yaohe, which was a few meters away.

Mo Yaohe gave him a mocking smile.

Mo Li's expression remained unchanged, but his silver teeth were almost broken in secret.

"You are overestimating your own abilities!" Mo Yaohe sneered in his heart.

"Is the Third Brother having a quarrel with the Sixth Brother?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side, sounding like someone was enjoying the show.

Mo Yihe looked at the feminine and handsome man beside him and regained his composure. "Fifth brother, you are wrong. It's just a small quarrel between us brothers."

"Really?" His tone was full of doubt.

"Fifth brother, you'd better take care of yourself!" Mo Yihe didn't look at him again.

It is wishful thinking to expect to benefit from it yourself.

Mo Chensen's lips curled slightly, but he was not angry. Finally, his eyes fell on the extremely beautiful and charming woman in the upper position, and he revealed an ambiguous smile.

"Prime Minister Qu, what will be the arrangements for tomorrow?" The dignified woman sitting on the right side of the main seat looked at the handsome man beside her.

Qu Honglin replied, "Your Majesty, spring is the time when animals are in heat and breeding, which is not conducive to hunting. If the emperor is in a good mood, you can just go through the motions."

The purpose of this spring search is not hunting, but...

"Spring is the season when everything starts to grow, so it's really not suitable for killing any living things." The Queen nodded in agreement.

She had never agreed to such extravagance, waste, and use of the national treasury, but the emperor was becoming increasingly incompetent as he grew older, and he simply would not listen to what she, the queen, said.

The extremely beautiful woman at the side stretched out her hand and yawned, "It would be so boring without hunting. I would not have come if I had known."

"If Concubine Feng wants, you can return to the palace now!" Shu Renhui said with a cold face.

Feng Lanyue raised her lips with a mocking smile, "The Empress cannot decide whether I return to the palace or not. It depends on the Emperor's opinion."

The two women in the main seat were engaged in a verbal battle, and the people below did not dare to say a word.

The wine cups on the table exuded a charming aroma of wine, and Qu Qingyan couldn't help but take a few sniffs.

In her previous life, she often drank to drown her sorrows when she was sad.

She stretched out her slender hands and was about to pick up the wine cup in front of her, when she saw a slender hand take the cup away first.

When she looked up, she saw the handsome man looking at her with a frown.

"Sir, I'm just curious and want to smell it." Qu Qingyan was caught by his father and a flattering smile appeared on his face.

The handsome man replied: "No!"

But he felt it was too harsh, so he said in a gentle voice: "Drinking is harmful to your health. You are still young, you should not drink."

She is not young anymore, she has already reached the age of marriage.

Qu Qingyan wanted to say this, but seeing his father's serious expression, he had to give up.

If she doesn't want to drink, then she doesn't want to drink. She doesn't have any alcohol addiction.

He reached out and picked up the grapes from the fruit plate, putting them into his mouth one by one. Immediately, the sweet taste filled his entire mouth, and Qu Qingyan revealed a satisfied smile.

Seeing this, Qu Honglin's lips curled up and a fatherly smile appeared in his eyes.

How could such an intimate scene between the two of them escape the eyes of others?

In an instant, the court officials and princes looked at Yan Qing, the retainer, again.

Sitting in the main seat, Shu Renhui saw from the corner of her eye that the handsome man's face was filled with a smile from the bottom of his heart, and she felt depressed.

"It seems that this retainer is very much in the Prime Minister's favor." Feng Lanyue's gaze fell on the handsome young man, and his narrow fox eyes narrowed into a line.

The gaze falling on him made Qu Qingyan pause.

Needless to say, she also felt where the unfriendly gaze came from.

It is said that her father had quite a few romantic affairs when he was young, although they were unintentional.

Among the ones she knew, there was Yan Wanyu, the daughter of Yan Kuanggu, the Marquis of Pingyang, who remained unmarried all her life in order to wait for her father.

It was also because of this that Marquis Pingyang hated her father so much.

Furthermore, there was this old-fashioned, feudal and conservative queen. In her previous life, she accidentally discovered that she was also infatuated with her father all her life.

and also……

Thinking of those troublesome bad love affairs, it is obvious that her father's stunning charm in his youth was what attracted so many women to love and hate him for their entire lives.

My father is still young today, just over 30 years old, and he exudes the charm of a mature man. Coupled with the blessing of power, some women are more attracted to him.

If it weren't for his deep love for his mother, how could there be no woman in the backyard?

The more he thought about it, the more ashamed Qu Qingyan felt for having questioned his father's callousness.

A humble gentleman loves his whole life.

His first wife died early, and he stayed with her forever.

"Why don't you want to eat anymore? Is it because you don't feel like eating?" The handsome man asked his daughter with concern when he saw that she was in a daze again.

Qu Qingyan came back to his senses and said, "I ate too much. I won't be able to eat later."

"Are you hungry?"

Qu Honglin stretched out his slender hands and clapped his hands, and then he saw a group of palace maids coming in with delicious dishes.

The palace maids were busy serving food and pouring wine.

At this time, pleasant piano music slowly sounded, and a graceful dancer slowly came over.

The royal banquet officially begins.
