After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 166 Banquet of December 8th

The Laba Banquet in the palace was originally just a reunion banquet for the royal family, but when Yan Qing arrived at the banquet venue, he found that this year's Laba Banquet was much more lively than previous years.

In addition to the royal family, there are also some lords.

Yan Qing looked at Gu Huaizhou.

Gu Huaizhou was also looking at her.

Both of them saw a message in each other's eyes: Something will happen today!

Gu Huaizhou whispered, "Li Ying cannot come to the palace. You must be careful."

Yan Qing nodded: "I understand."

This palace is a den of dragons and tigers.

If you fail to stay vigilant, you will be eaten to pieces by the powerful palace if you are not careful.

Gu Huaizhou had originally planned to stick to Qingqing all night, but as soon as he showed up at the banquet, he was pestered by the royal family members. When he finally had time, his useless father, the emperor, wanted to see him again...

Gu Huaizhou's face was extremely dark.

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Go ahead. His Majesty must be looking for you for something important. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

The man still looked at her worriedly.

No one knew better than him how dark and ugly the palace, a place where people were eaten without leaving any bones, was.

Yan Qing said helplessly: "When the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will flood it with earth. Gu Huaizhou, you can't protect me forever..."

Gu Huaizhou opened his mouth: "I can..."

"Are you sure you can?"

Yan Qing looked at him seriously: "Gu Huaizhou, you want to protect me forever, but you can't really protect me forever, nor can you protect me all the time. I have to learn to protect myself."

Gu Huaizhou was silent.

Yan Qing said: "Believe me."

She didn't want to be a dodder that only depended on others. Even without weapons, she could protect herself.

Gu Huaizhou compromised.

He knew that Qingqing was right, but he also knew that he couldn't change Qingqing's mind.

In her previous life, she had no self-awareness, which led her to that point. In this life, she must have learned a lesson and wanted to take control of her own life.

He loved her so much that he wanted to embed her into his bones and blood.

But he also respected her.

If she must face the dangers ahead on her own, then he can only give her the greatest support.

"Don't be in trouble."

The man held Yan Qing's hand, thought for a moment, and then said worriedly, "Being alive is more important than anything else."

Ripples surged in Yan Qing's heart.

At this moment, she felt the incomparable love of the man in front of her.

Why didn’t I notice it before?

Suppressing the sourness rising in his nose, Yan Qinghui held his hand and said solemnly: "Okay, I will protect myself, no matter what method I use."

Only then did Gu Huaizhou leave slowly.

But before leaving, he asked someone to call Prince Jing out.

Prince Jing had just appeared at the banquet with the eldest daughter of the Yang family, which attracted a lot of people's attention. But everyone also knew Prince Jing's personality, so that bit of attention was quickly forgotten by everyone.

Since his own brothers didn't want to play with him, Prince Jing had no choice but to be compatible with the children of the lords.

Prince Jing was guessing riddles and drinking with everyone when a palace servant came over to say that the Fourth Prince was looking for him.

"Ziyuan?"

Prince Jing looked outside and saw Gu Huaizhou standing in a pavilion waiting for him.

Prince Jing suddenly felt unhappy.

But after thinking about it, he threw down his wine glass and ran over.

"What do you want from me?"

Prince Jing felt uncomfortable when he thought of Ziyuan saying he was no longer useful at the palace gate. How could he be useless? He still had a lot of potential, didn't he?

Gu Huaizhou glanced around the banquet hall and found that the King of Qi and the Princess were nowhere to be seen. He frowned and said, "There might be something unusual about tonight's banquet. Please take good care of Qingqing for me."

"Why?"

Prince Jing snorted, "She's not my princess, why should I look after her?"

Gu Huaizhou looked at him with cold eyes.

Prince Jing immediately stepped back at his gaze, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "What are you looking at? Do you think I'm useful now? It's too late! I'm telling you, Gu Huaizhou, don't think that just because I'm interested in you..."

"It seems that Concubine Xie is going to choose a concubine for you recently..."

"so what?"

"So I plan to mention it to my father later. You're not a child anymore..."

"stop!"

Prince Jing immediately patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just taking care of Yan Er? Don't worry, leave her to me. I will take good care of her and make sure she doesn't lose a single hair!"

Gu Huaizhou was satisfied and said, "He who knows the current situation is a hero."

Prince Jing felt very aggrieved.

But he had to suppress his anger and said unwillingly: "Then what about Father..."

"There is currently no woman suitable for you in Kyoto."

"it is good!"

Prince Jing immediately clapped his hands and said, "Tell my father that it would be best if he never grants me a marriage. I don't want to get married..."

After giving instructions to Queen Jing, Gu Huaizhou went to see Emperor Yong.

The people sent by the King of Qi to Chu have returned.

There will be some turmoil in Kyoto in the near future.

He indeed has a lot to do...

Kunning Palace.

Princess Shu Ning and Prince Ying Chu of Qi were both there.

Shu Ning leaned on Queen Wang's knees and complained, "Mother, when can you make Yan Er disappear? I really don't want to see her again."

Queen Wang stroked her hair and said, "It will be soon."

Shu Ning's eyes lit up, and she looked up and asked, "Has the Queen Mother figured out a solution?"

Queen Wang nodded.

Shu Ning was about to say something, but then shook her head and said, "This son always feels that Yan Qing is a bit weird. Last time at the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Wang Mingjue was clearly going to deal with Yan Qing, but in the end, Yan Qing sent him to the Marquis' Mansion to keep Lu Qiaonan's chastity. And that Yang Xuan, although she is extremely stupid, with the Queen Mother behind the scenes, even the dumbest person can get things done.

But what about the end?

Yan Qing messed things up again! How abominable! "

The Emperor frowned and said, "That Yan Qing is indeed a bit strange, but the reason why I failed last time was partly because of Gu Huaizhou. Yue Fei is from the Yue Clan, and it is unknown what she left behind for him before her death. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape my pursuit all these years..."

So when Queen Wang failed to choose a concubine for Gu Huaizhou last time, she did not feel angry or embarrassed.

Because she finally understood that Gu Huaizhou might not be alone.

There must be some force behind him supporting him.

"Yan Qing is nothing to be afraid of. The most important thing is the General's Mansion."

Queen Wang looked at her calm son and asked, "Chu'er, how are your preparations going?"

Ying Chu said: "Don't worry, mother, everything is ready, we just need to wait for the east wind."

Queen Wang nodded. "Although you were born to me, the Yong Dynasty royal family has always been wary of the Wang family. Therefore, they will not pass the throne to you, nor to Prince Li. Who does he favor the most? Do you know?"

The King of Qi suddenly crushed the teacup and said, "Of course I know."

My father has arranged for Gu Huaizhou to marry into the General's Mansion, so it is clear to whom he wants to give the throne.

Queen Wang said, "Recently, there have been a number of officials impeaching the Wang family. If this continues, the Wang family will be uprooted. Your father is old, Prince, do you know what to do?"

"My son understands."

The eyes of the King of Qi were full of ambition.
