The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father

Chapter 56: Spring Search Banquet with Many Farces

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the eve of the end of the spring search.

On this night, a grand and lively banquet is about to begin.

As night falls and the lights come on, the entire camp is illuminated by bright lights.

The bonfire was burning, lighting up people's happy faces. The air was filled with tempting aromas, and all kinds of delicious food were placed on the table, making people salivate.

People gathered in groups of three or five, talking and laughing happily.

Until a sharp and piercing voice came: "Your Majesty, Queen, here you are!"

After hearing this voice, everyone knelt down hurriedly like frightened birds, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Everyone, please stand up." The old emperor waved his hand and sat on the main throne with a casual look on his face, while the empress sat beside him.

The Imperial Concubine was not to be outdone and sat below the old Emperor, while the Shu Concubine was slightly inferior and sat below the Imperial Concubine.

The other concubines kept their heads down in silence, becoming mere background figures.

As for the row of princes, there were some changes. Originally the third prince should have been sitting at the top, but now it was replaced by His Royal Highness Prince Li, who has been attracting much attention recently.

He sat there with dignity and grace, as if the whole world was under his control. The other princes sat below him, each with their own thoughts.

It was the first time in Mo Li's life that he sat in such a front seat. The excitement in his heart was beyond words, but his face did not show anything unusual.

"Third brother, I have reminded you before that you must be on guard against this person. What do you think? Are you in trouble this time?" Mo Chensen's charming peach blossom eyes showed a gloating smile at this moment.

Mo Yihe's face turned livid. He gritted his teeth and said, "Things change over time. This prince was just careless for a moment. Just wait. There will be a day when he falls."

"Third brother, he has been crowned king now, while you and I are still nothing. Just based on this point, he has already won, not to mention that he is about to marry the prime minister's daughter. If he really gets what he wants, I'm afraid we brothers will have to become his subjects by then." There was an obvious hint of sowing discord in Mo Chensen's words.

Although Mo Yaohe knew very well that Mo Chensen had evil intentions and bad motives, every word the other party said hit him right in the heart, making him feel extremely upset.

In a fit of rage, he snatched up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

When Mo Li saw Mo Taohe's furious but helpless look, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sarcasm. As if on purpose, he slowly raised his wine glass, his eyes calmly swept over the princes below, and then said in a deep voice: "Brothers! In the past, there were more or less misunderstandings and conflicts between us, but that is all in the past! I would like to toast you all with a glass of wine, and I hope we can put aside the past grudges and hatreds, and forget all grudges with a smile!"

After saying this, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, his movements graceful and neat.

The princes present looked at each other, feeling a little confused for a moment.

They obviously had not expected Mo Li to act this way, and they were secretly trying to figure out his true intentions. However, after a brief silence, they all raised their glasses to toast him.

But there was one person who did not move and kept a cold face.

Mo Hehe looked at him with an extremely ugly expression, wishing he could kill him right now to relieve the hatred in his heart.

When the officials on the opposite side saw this scene, they all praised King Li for his magnanimity and wisdom.

Mo Hehe's expression became increasingly cold, his face full of jealousy and unwillingness.

Several people in high positions naturally noticed this scene, and the old emperor's cloudy eyes revealed an incomprehensible look.

The Queen also had a stern face, but didn't say anything.

The Imperial Concubine spoke without hesitation, "Prince Li is really magnanimous. No wonder the Prime Minister is willing to marry his daughter to you. Only a dragon among men like you is worthy of the daughter of the Qu family."

During this sensitive period, the Imperial Concubine's words "a dragon among men" immediately caused an uproar among the people below, and everyone started to imagine all kinds of things.

The princes were even more anxious and restless.

Mo Yihe tightly grasped the wine glass in his hand. The wine swayed in the glass, making his face look extremely hideous and terrifying.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Mo Chensen's peach blossom eyes.

Mo Xuyao ​​had a blank expression on his face and his brows were furrowed.

Mo Zemiao's eyes, which were as clear as water, quickly flashed with a hint of darkness.

The hostility in Mo Mingxin's eyes almost became real.

Mo Yiyan glared at the handsome man fiercely.

"My dear concubine, I think you have drunk too much and have started talking nonsense." The queen reprimanded on the spot.

The old emperor looked a little unhappy, and he rarely reprimanded her, "Don't talk nonsense, Concubine."

"Your Majesty..." Feng Lanyue was quite dissatisfied. After seeing his ugly face, she knew that he had touched his bottom line. She quickly poured another glass of wine, raised it to the old emperor's lips, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. Please don't be angry."

The old emperor's anger subsided a little, but he did not drink the wine. Instead, he turned his gaze to his outstanding sons.

As a father, I should be very pleased to have so many sons with outstanding abilities.

However, he is not only a father, but also the king of a country.

He was not old yet, but his body was already strong, which really made him extremely fearful.

The dragon's might swept over them, and the princes all lowered their heads, not daring to look the emperor in the eye.

The old emperor glanced at the people present and asked, "Where is the prime minister? Why didn't I see him today?"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is busy with important matters and has no time to come here, so he asked me to come and report." Xianzhi Liu knelt down and replied.

The old emperor sighed, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear Lord Qu. If it weren't for the Prime Minister, I wouldn't be able to sit on the throne so securely."

"It is a blessing for our Tianyuan country to have Prime Minister Qu in our dynasty!" The ministers began to flatter him in unison again.

This made Qu Qingyan, who was hiding in the dark, speechless.

[Host, look, it's Qu Xinzhu! ] Xiaoyaer suddenly reminded.

Qu Qingyan was startled and looked in the direction he pointed. He saw a thin figure kneeling not far from Mo Li, with his head looking around dishonestly.

Qu Qingyan's eyes turned slightly, "What would happen if the drunken Third Prince met Qu Xinzhu who was alone at this time?"

[Host, do you want to...] Xiaoyaoer's surprised voice sounded, and then said: [But host, you are really too despicable, right? ]

"Despicable?" Qu Qingyan sneered, "Isn't it despicable for her to use my name?"

Xiaoyaoer heard the host's anger and was afraid that there would be another rift between the two, so he hurriedly said: "Host, I made a slip of the tongue, that's not what I meant. Qu Xinzhu is such a bad woman, this is how she should be dealt with."

Qu Qingyan felt even more disgusted by the lack of submission.
