The Empress Behind the Veil

Chapter 194 The Prince Who Came From Beifeng's Work

Qin Ruojiu's long, wry eyelashes made her eyes look so beautiful when she lowered her head. There was a great turmoil within Emperor Zhaolie's day, if not for him attending this palace banquet, he would have directly embraced this woman tightly and made her his own.

A while later, Su Zhen’er and Zhao Yuanran came over. The presence of the two of them immediately made the atmosphere there become more lively. They are both very attractive women. Coupled with the makeup and their arrogant way of walking, of course, naturally they will immediately become the center of attention. The arrival of the two of them was not inferior to the arrival of the Queen earlier.

Yet from them walking into the hall until entering inside, Emperor Zhaolie did not look at them at all. The look in his eyes was only directed towards Qin Ruojiu.

“Hamba arrived late, please the Emperor can forgive us.”

They both knelt down in front of the Emperor. Emperor Zhaolie did not look towards them and directly waved his hand, “Nothing, quickly sit down.”

Then, the two of them sat down one by one. After sitting down, Su Zhen’er immediately smiled sinisterly and looked towards Qin Ruojiu who was there. Not knowing intentionally or not, the gazes of the two of them met.

At that moment, Qin Ruojiu did not pay much attention to them and simply lifted her tea glass gently.

Then, Emperor Zhaolie just allowed them to drink their tea.

At this moment, there was a man wearing a brown robe, a silver hat and black boots walking out from the left side.

This man has a very sharp nose and has wavy hair. The skin color is also slightly brownish. The way he dressed was much different to the way the Kang Qing Kingdom people dressed.

He lifted his wine glass and slightly bent his body and said, “Emperor, I am representing the Kingdom of Beifeng to congratulate the friendship between these two countries. Today, I toast to you.”

Emperor Zhaolie who heard that said nothing and only showed a satisfied smile on his face and raised his wine glass as well.

Then, they toast and gulp down the wine in the glass without a single drop left. Before the wine runs out, they won't put the glass down.

Prince Funing also saw Emperor Zhaolie who looked so satisfied and his eyes were sparkling. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on Qin Ruojiu and the smile of his eyes became somewhat stiff. He raised his hand even higher and gulped down the wine until it ran out.

“Well, the Emperor and Prince of Funing are like dragons and phoenixes. This glass of wine is a form of friendship achieved in these two countries. From today, Kangqing Kingdom and Beifeng Kingdom are two brother kingdoms. These two countries will never fight and attack each other. This glass of wine could be considered a form of homage to the Prince of Funing.”

Upon seeing that, one of the white-haired ministers immediately looked so excited and gulped down his wine. Then, the other ministers also gulped their wine.

Looking at Emperor Zhaolie who kept sipping his wine glass by glass, Qin Ruojiu began to feel worried and said, “Emperor, do not drink too much.”

Emperor Zhaolie nodded his head gently. He did not answer and did not refuse either. Emperor Zhoualie immediately clasped his hand to transfer the warmth he had in his hand to Qin Ruojiu.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Prince Funing stood in the center of the Hall slightly tilted. Suddenly he laughed loudly then looked towards Emperor Zhaolie and said, “I have often heard that Emperor Kangqing is a very wise and formidable emperor. He was a very wise man in handling all matters and was an excellent emperor and had won the hearts of all his subjects. Do not know if the queen of this kingdom will also be very beautiful and charismatic?”
