Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

At the welcoming banquet, Qi Yuan and Chu Xiong chatted and laughed happily, as if they were close friends.

Whenever Qi Yuan asked about the affairs of the State of Chu, Chu Xiong would tell him everything he knew. His words revealed his resentment towards Xie Lang, and he told Qi Yuan that as long as Xie Lang could be convicted, he would be willing to take half of the State of Chu as a reward.

This statement shocked everyone.

"The eldest princess has arrived."

At this moment, Qi Piao walked in from outside the hall, accompanied by several handsome men with elegant faces.

Everyone put down their cups and chopsticks, looked at Chu Xiong with complicated emotions in their eyes.

As everyone knows, Qi Piao had a chaotic private life and kept countless male favorites. Even the people who served her closely were not palace maids but handsome men.

Qi Piao acted like this, and some officials could not bear to see her doing so and rebuked her for violating morals, but she retorted: "Was the one who helped you change your clothes and wash your face a man or a woman?"

The minister replied, "It is a girl."

Qi Piao laughed and said, "You are a man, so you can have a woman serve you personally. I am a woman, so why can't I have a man serve me personally?"

The ministers could not refute and could only turn a blind eye to it. Qi Yuan knew her hobby and would send her a few handsome men from time to time. Qi Piao gladly accepted them. Two of the men following Qi Piao this time were sent by Qi Yuan himself.

Qi Yuan saw Qi Piao coming, smiled and stood up, pointed to a seat and said, "Sister is here, come and sit down."

Then she turned her gaze to Chu Xiong and said quietly, "Sister likes handsome men to serve her. Emperor Chu shouldn't mind."

Sure enough, Chu Xiong's face suddenly changed. He also knew Qi Piao's name and naturally didn't want to marry her, but he was forced by Xie Lang and had no choice.

But no matter what, his status as the king of Chu was there. Qi Piao brought the handsome man here purely to humiliate him, so he gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face: "I have heard that Princess Beihuang has a bad style, and today I really saw it."

Qi Yuan's face turned cold. Qi Piao was his sister, and the relationship between them was special like that of ordinary siblings. What was this Chu Xiong?

He gave him a cold look only because Chu Xiong was his brother-in-law. This Chu Xiong really thought he was in the State of Chu.

Qi Yuan was about to speak, but Qi Piao spoke first.

"So you are the Emperor of Chu."

There was sarcasm in his words: "The Chu Emperor who came to marry."

The officials of the Northern Wilderness were so embarrassed that their faces turned red. Finally, someone couldn't help laughing out loud. Once there was one, there were two, and finally the whole audience burst into laughter. Qi Piao had a bad reputation, but Chu Xiong's reputation as the "first emperor in history to marry a foreign prince" was even more famous.

Chu Xiong became furious, his face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.

"After meeting you today, I feel so helpless." Qi Piao looked at Chu Xiong with a playful smile, then bowed to Qi Yuan and walked to her seat. A man helped her sit down, and another man set the table for her.

This action hurt Chu Xiong's eyes.

"Emperor Beihuang, is this how your eldest princess treats her fiancé? I need an explanation." Chu Xiong spoke to Qi Yuan in a rare tough tone. The thing a man can't tolerate the most is being cuckolded.

Qi Piao knew that she was going to marry him, but she still blatantly asked handsome men to serve her. This was a naked humiliation to him, and no man could tolerate it.

"Explanation? What explanation do you need?" Qi Piao slammed the table and said sternly: "This is the Northern Wilderness, not your Chu State. You are marrying me, not me marrying you. What qualifications do you have to ask me to give you an explanation?"

Then he said to a gentle man standing beside him, "Zhu'er, pour the wine."

Zhu'er's name was Li Yuzhu. He came from a poor family but had extraordinary literary talent. At a banquet, he presented a poem to Qi Piao. In addition, because of his extraordinary appearance, Qi Piao recruited him to be his side.

Li Yuzhu replied respectfully, "Yes, Princess."

As he said this, he poured a glass of wine for Qi Piao.

Qi Piao took the wine glass, drank it all, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating, no longer paying attention to Chu Xiong.

Everyone saw Qi Piao's reaction, and they looked at Chu Xiong with a funny attitude. Chu Xiong's face became even worse, and he turned his eyes to Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan said: "Sister's meaning is my meaning."

At this point, Chu Xiong's mentality completely collapsed, and he felt a little dissatisfied with Qi Yuan.

Just as he was about to get angry, Zhang He saw it and quickly walked to Chu Xiong's side. He lowered his voice and reminded Chu Xiong in his ear, "Your Majesty, this is the Northern Wasteland."

Chu Xiong was getting even more angry, but Zhang He continued, "A real man can endure what the world cannot endure. Your Majesty, you have endured it for so long. What is this little humiliation? Can it compare to the humiliation Chu Lanrui has inflicted on you?"

Xie Lang seized Chu Xiong's throne and even let the female etiquette official humiliate him. Chu Xiong had endured that before, so there was no reason why he couldn't endure it this time.

After hearing what Zhang He said, Chu Xiong's expression eased a little. Yes, compared to the humiliation inflicted by Xie Lang, this was nothing.

He wanted to endure hardships and use the power of the Northern Wilderness to pull Chu Lanrui down from the altar. Thinking of this, he raised the wine glass on the table and apologized to Qi Piao: "I made a mistake, so I will drink this glass as a punishment."

Qi Piao ignored him and continued to eat his food, totally ignoring Chu Xiong. Chu Xiong stood there, feeling very embarrassed. He could only smile and drink the wine in his glass, pretending nothing had happened.

Apart from anything else, Chu Xiong is really shameless.

Qi Yuan saw this and felt even more contempt for Chu Xiong in his heart, but he still smiled, picked up the wine glass, looked around, and finally set his eyes on Chu Xiong: "Emperor Chu has come from afar, this glass of wine is for you."

He drank the wine immediately, which eased the awkwardness on the scene. Chu Xiong looked at Qi Yuan with gratitude, and his previous dissatisfaction completely disappeared at this moment.

Afterwards, both the host and the guests drank and enjoyed themselves.

After the banquet, Chu Xiong, Zhang He and others returned to the post station.

…………

Three days later.

The autumn wind blew over the eaves, and golden leaves rustled down.

There were more than a dozen boxes in the palace. When they were opened, they were full of gold and jade.

Qi Yuan picked up a jade bracelet from the box, took a closer look, and then threw it back with a crisp sound. He turned his gaze to Zhang He and exclaimed: "Prime Minister Zhang is really rich! He is willing to spend so much money to bribe He Qing, but he didn't expect that the money would be here!"

Zhang He was in the hall now, with a look of shock in his eyes. He never expected that the gold and jade he had used to bribe He Siming would be reported to Qi Yuan by He Siming right after.

At this moment, he looked at He Siming who was standing not far away, his eyes full of anger. It was the anger towards the betrayer. He took money from others to help them get rid of disasters, but you took the money and exposed the matter to others.

He Siming felt Zhang He's murderous gaze and smiled at him. He was the senior official of Beihuang and it was he who proposed the plan of marriage with the State of Chu. It was also he who went on a diplomatic mission to the State of Chu and gave Zhang He a large amount of money, which made Zhang He speak up to facilitate the alliance.

Since then, the two have formed a good friendship.

However, he did not expect that Chu Lanrui would ascend the throne and marry Chu Xiong to him, and also married his old friend Zhang He to him.

His old friend was very greedy for money. When he encountered this situation, he was willing to spend a large sum of money. He brought more than ten boxes of treasure to beg him, asking him to talk to Qi Yuan and change his fate of marrying Qi Piao.

He is not like Zhang He, who only cares about money. What's more, this money is not something he can take. His previous contact with Zhang He was purely taking advantage of their relationship.

He felt no guilt at all for suing Zhang He, and was even happy to see it happen, which led to what happened today.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Beihuang, a foreign minister is at least the prime minister of a country. Princess Wuyou wants a foreign minister to marry the eldest princess. This is ridiculous! Don't take it seriously."

Since the matter was exposed, Zhang He stopped pretending and said to Qi Yuan: "Besides, this matter is really humiliating. Your Majesty is also a man. If you were humiliated like this, you must be very angry."

He knelt down and said, "As long as Your Majesty lends a hand, I am willing to serve Your Majesty as my master."

"You should talk to your Lord about this. Dignity is something you earn, not beg for."

Qi Yuan smiled faintly, his eyes were unchanged, he did not need a minister like Zhang He who would damage the national interest for money. Before, He Siming could use money to make him negotiate peace by ceding land, and now he could damage the interests of Beihuang for money.

He is willing to invest a large sum of money today, and he will definitely make up for it in other ways in the future.

This kind of minister is a black sheep, so it is better to stay as far away from him as possible.

"You should take back the money." Qi Yuan said, "Come here, show the guests away."
