The Devil's Wife, I Just Want to Survive

"Alright, alright." Emperor Ruiqian reached out and pressed down Wang Que's hand: "You two are my right-hand men, how can you be so hostile?"

Since last night, Emperor Ruiqian has been worried about the relationship between Wang Que and Qi Yuehai.

He knew that Wang Que was not a good person, and the power held by Qi Yuehai made him cautious.

For him, it would be best to stabilize the relationship between the two for the time being.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm impulsive, but this great scholar Yun Yang has been provoking me since he came in. How can I not be angry?"

"Hey, you old man, you are the first to complain!" Wang Que pointed at Qi Yuehai and looked at Emperor Rui Qian again: "Your Majesty, I have never provoked him. He just said I was a disgrace when I came here!"

"I, Wang Yun Yang, am the fifth great scholar of our Great Zhou Dynasty. How could I not know the etiquette and manners?"

"I am a scholar, and I know the Four Books and Five Classics, poems, songs, and inscriptions. Which of the books and scriptures do I not master?"

"He is a right prime minister, and he is not a scholar. How can he teach me about etiquette?"

"As the saying goes, what can a scholar endure? If I bow my head, wouldn't I be insulting the face of all the scholars in the world?"

Emperor Ruiqian frowned slightly, but at this moment he still spoke to make peace: "Okay, you two don't talk from now on!"

Wang Que snorted and retracted his hand: "The emperor's order cannot be violated. Since the emperor has spoken, then I won't say anything."

Qi Yuehai gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Emperor Ruiqian didn't say anything more. Soon, the wine and food were served.

After the wine and food were served, all the palace maids and eunuchs in the Jinque Palace retreated outside the palace.

"Today, there are only three of us in this palace. If we have anything to say, let's say it directly. When we leave this Jinque Palace, we can't act on impulse anymore."

Emperor Ruiqian said, and he actually picked up the wine pot.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute. I will pour the wine." Qi Yuehai stood up and stretched out his hand to take the wine pot.

Seeing this, Wang Que also said a few words symbolically and wanted to get the wine.

Who knew that Emperor Ruiqian directly slapped the hands of the two people: "This first cup of wine, I will pour it for you two personally. You two are my left and right arms. No one can be missing."

The meaning of this sentence is already very clear, but none of the three people present will not understand it.

Emperor Ruiqian first took Qi Yuehai's cup. Even if Qi Yuehai said no, Emperor Ruiqian would not care about him: "Prime Minister Qi, you are also an old predecessor of our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"You were appointed as the right prime minister before you were less than 100 years old. It has been more than 600 years since then. You are also a predecessor who followed my father. You are so old, can't you let Yun Yang go?"

Qi Yuehai moved his mouth, but didn't say anything.

Emperor Ruiqian said again: "Yun Yang is a rising star. He is now the face of our Great Zhou. Do you think anyone in the four great dynasties is as famous as Yun Yang?"

"You are an old senior. Please give way to Yun Yang. Ah, did you hear me?"

Qi Yuehai nodded, but still did not respond.

Emperor Ruiqian was not in a hurry. He pushed the glass of wine in front of Qi Yuehai, and then Emperor Ruiqian took Wang Que's glass.

Wang Que naturally had to pretend to be polite.

Finally, Emperor Ruiqian took Wang Que's glass and began to pour wine while saying: "Yun Yang, today I saw you write another inscription that spread throughout the world?"

Wang Que leaned back in his chair and pinched his eyebrows when he heard this: "Ah, headache, really headache, Your Majesty, this inscription was written by me in my early years, but it was just released now. I have been having headaches in recent years. I have headaches when I see the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and think of writing."

How could Emperor Ruiqian not understand that Wang Que was playing dumb?

But he didn't expose it. He still said with a smile: "The right prime minister is an old senior of our Great Zhou. Sometimes we still have to learn from the old seniors. You can't always embarrass the old seniors, right?"

"Today, the emperor has no other intentions. The emperor just arranged for you to drink together and we will resolve the previous grudges."

As he said, Emperor Ruiqian pushed the poured wine in front of Wang Que.

Then, Emperor Ruiqian began to pour wine for himself: "You had a feud before, but that is a thing of the past. The dead cannot be resurrected. We who are alive must look forward and cannot always stay on the hatred of the past."

"If you want to kill him today, his descendants will grow up tomorrow and he will seek revenge on you. If this goes on, the grudge will never be fully avenged. What's the point?"

"So, let's settle all the accounts today, okay!"

The voice fell on the table, on the floor, and fell into silence... But neither Wang Que nor Qi Yuehai spoke up to answer.

Emperor Ruiqian frowned slightly and tapped the table with a hint of anger: "Prime Minister Qi, do you think it's okay?"

Qi Yuehai looked at the wine glass on the tableHe opened his mouth and said, "Okay, how can I say no?"

Emperor Ruiqian was slightly satisfied and then looked at Wang Que, "Yun Yang, how about you? Can you do it?"

Wang Que crossed his legs and shook, "It's impossible for a man to say no."

Emperor Ruiqian smiled, "Okay, since both of you say yes, let's get started. Yun Yang, apologize to Prime Minister Qi."

As soon as he said this, Qi Yuehai smiled and looked up at Wang Que.

Wang Que felt cold in his heart, but his face remained unchanged.

He thought Emperor Ruiqian would protect him for the sake of his reputation, but he didn't expect that Emperor Ruiqian would choose to protect Qi Yuehai in the end.

Wang Que didn't say anything. He sat up and looked at Qi Yuehai with his wine glass. He could see the undisguised mockery in Qi Yuehai's eyes.

Wang Que had a blank expression on his face: "Prime Minister Qi, I'm sorry for spraying wine all over your face today. I'll toast you."

Qi Yuehai frowned and looked at Emperor Ruiqian, who also frowned. But since Wang Que had said this, he decided to drink this cup first.

Immediately, Emperor Ruiqian waved his hand to signal Qi Yuehai to raise his glass.

The smile on Qi Yuehai's face disappeared, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at Wang Que.

When toasting, the rim of the toasting person's glass should be lower than that of the toasted person, but Wang Que didn't do that. He directly touched the rim of Qi Yuehai's glass with the bottom of the glass!

Qi Yuehai became even angrier when he saw this. How could he tolerate such disrespect to himself?

Qi Yuehai immediately raised his glass upwards. Wang Que sneered in his heart, and slightly squeezed the glass with his fingers and hit it on Qi Yuehai's glass.

The glass tilted forward slightly, and the wine in the glass turned into a water line and shot Qi Yuehai in the face!

"Oh!" Wang Que shouted in surprise: "What's going on? Prime Minister Qi, why are you so strong?"

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Wang Que said and looked at Emperor Ruiqian: "Your Majesty, I really didn't mean it. It was Prime Minister Qi who used too much force. I think he just doesn't want to accept my apology."

Emperor Ruiqian was slightly angry, but he came to "make peace" today.

Suppressing his displeasure, Emperor Ruiqian whispered: "Prince Qi, are you okay?"

Qi Yuehai was even angrier when he heard this. This was the second time he was splashed with wine in the face. How could he see that he was okay?

He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it like this: "It's okay, it's okay, but isn't Yun Yang a little too much?"

"Too much?" Wang Que was stunned: "How did I go too much? You obviously used so much force and you still blamed me, Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qi is slandering me! You have to make the decision for me!"
