Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 17 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

"Let's have a feast!"

The eunuch waved his whisk, and the birthday banquet began with the sound of orchestra.

The female guests offered their congratulations one after another. Ran Qianxi looked at Baili Yong with hatred, which was seen by the Queen.

After the congratulations, the queen smiled and showed her power in vain.

"What happened to Sister Ran today? Why are you staring at His Majesty?"

The empress dowager glanced at her and ignored her. It was common for concubines to act like mischief.

After hearing this, Baili Yong turned his eyes and saw Ran Qianxi's face full of murderous intent, but he raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"is it?"

Ran Qianxi turned her head away in dismay.

“Who wants to watch…”

The Queen Mother smiled, thinking that Ran Qianxi liked Baili Yong, so she handed her a glass of wine.

"Go and pay respect to the Emperor."

Ran Qianxi waved her hands frantically, she really felt unlucky.

"No no no..."

The Queen Mother thought she was shy and ordered the palace maid to take her over.

"Take Xi girl with you."

The palace maid bowed and walked to Ran Qianxi's side.

"Miss Ran, please."

Ran Qianxi was in a dilemma and had to walk over with the wine in her hand and put the glass to Baili Yong's lips.

"drink!"

The queen was stunned by such a rebellious act, but the queen mother said nothing.

Baili Yong looked at the wine that was about to hit his nose and smiled faintly, then raised his eyes meaningfully.

"You're toasting me like this?"

Ran Qianxi turned her head away helplessly, her face looking so grim that no one could get close to her, but she still tried hard to convince herself to pretend.

She smiled stiffly.

"Your Majesty, please drink~"

Baili Yong smiled and looked at her with great fondness.

"I'm sitting, and you're standing?"

Ran Qianxi squatted down in frustration.

He ruined his life with a whim, and it was a pity that I still treated him as a close friend.

"Drink quickly, and stop talking after you finish drinking..."

Baili Yong still refused to give up and refused to drink the wine even though the glass of wine was in front of him. The queen could no longer bear it.

"His Majesty…"

But Baili Yong ignored him and didn't even look back.

"Shut up."

The queen felt deflated and sat down dejectedly.

"It's not that she means well, why are you so fierce?"

Baili Yong looked at her, his smile never fading.

"I only drink what you offer me."

Ran Qianxi stood up impatiently.

"Then if I toast you and you don't drink, do you really want me to lose my manners?"

"How can you serve me when you have such a bad temper?"

Ran Qianxi was instantly amused by him and fought back wildly.

"Your Majesty... Your Great Majesty... Have you ever asked me if I want to be your concubine? The imperial decree was issued immediately, and now you are nitpicking. How did I offend you?!"

When this passage was spoken, everyone in the room burst into an uproar, and Xiahou Jin and Ran Yuelian were both sweating.

"Do you know how big an influence your imperial edict has? Today, when you are in a good mood, you issue an imperial decree to grant me a marriage. When you are in a bad mood, you issue another imperial decree to marry me. You even threaten me with the lives of dozens of people in the Ran family. You are His Majesty and we dare not refute you and let you do whatever you want, but aren't we human beings?"

The situation became increasingly serious, and Tan Qianhuan, Xu Yuanchao, Liu Xun, Xiahou Jin, and Ran Yuelian all stood up worriedly.

Baili Yong was already irritated by her!

"You said it very well. Who can be blamed for the current situation? Who told you to provoke me for no reason?"

Ran Qianxi laughed out of anger again and made a convincing argument.

"I provoke you? I am domineering, but how dare I provoke the emperor? Didn't you go to the academy for nothing? Didn't you have nothing to do but drink?"

Baili Yong stood up angrily!

"I'm free, but you invited me?"

"Okay, okay, I invited you and you just went. Do you have any reservations?"

"Xi'er!"

The elders present could no longer sit still, and Ran Qianxi seemed like she didn't want to live anymore.

Baili Yong raised his hand to stop them.

"Let her talk."

Ran Qianxi knew that she had lost her composure and didn't dare to say anything.

"What? Weren't you quite confident just now?"

Ran Qianxi picked up the wine glass in resentment.

"drink..."

Baili Yong calmed down and sat down.

"Don't drink anymore."

She laughed a few times in exasperation, put down her wine glass with a snap, and walked back to her parents.

"Okay, okay... They say that serving a king is like serving a tiger. I've seen it today!"

Baili Yong took a look at the glass of wine, picked it up and drank it in a cowardly manner.

"I'm so angry, what kind of trick is this? Who knew you were the emperor?"

Baili Yong sat on the stage and stared at her for a moment, unwilling to get angry.

"I will spare your life today, and you will enter the palace tomorrow."

Ran Qianxi rolled up her sleeves and was about to fuck him, but was stopped by her parents.

"You spared my life...I..."

Although she had to speak out, he was the emperor after all. If she continued to argue, she would be slapped in the face by Ran Yuelian, and then her entire family would be executed, and her adoptive father would also be implicated. Thinking of Liu Xun's gentleness, she bowed lazily and arrogantly, feeling very dissatisfied.

"Thank you Lord for your grace!"

"I am so angry!"

Ran Qianxi rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. Although her action was not obvious, Tan Qianhuan still saw it.

"Oh, sister Ran has such a bad temper. She even scared me."

The Queen Mother and Baili Yong looked at Concubine Xie together and said in unison.

"presumptuous!"

Concubine Xie bowed in a pretentious manner.

"Oh, it's my elder sister who said too much, please don't blame me."

Baili Yong was at a loss for where to vent his anger and was reluctant to punish Ran Qianxi, but she took the initiative to run into the tip of the knife.

"Just know that you're talking too much. Take him out and slap him fifty times!"

Concubine Xie immediately knelt on the ground and apologized.

"Your Majesty, spare my life."

Baili Yong was merciless.

"Pull it out!"

Concubine Xie was dragged away, begging for mercy. Ran Qianxi finally felt worried for herself, as she saw that he was killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

"Xi'er, you should be careful with your words."

Ran Qianxi smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, yes, my godfather is right."

Baili Yong looked at her and smiled triumphantly.

"Shu Guifei."

Ran Qianxi had not yet digested this unfamiliar name, but when she heard Baili Yong calling her, she immediately stood up and forced a smile.

"Your Majesty, please command~"

Baili Yong looked at her cunning appearance, and a doting smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Come and serve."

Ran Qianxi bowed respectfully.

"Okay, I'm here~"

Ran Qianxi slowly approached, and Baili Yong slowly raised his hand and stroked her hair in front of everyone in the hall.

"You know you're afraid?"

"Yes, yes, I am truly a traitor..."

Baili Yong smiled, and his next order surprised everyone.

"Bring another chair."

The eunuch bowed and moved a golden nanmu chair to the side.

"Move closer."

Baili Yong was in the middle, with the Grand Emperor on the left and the Empress on the right. His implication was that he wanted Ran Qianxi to sit in the middle with him.

Ran Qianxi looked at the eunuch awkwardly and blocked the chair with force.

She didn't dare to sit, and couldn't sit.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Can I sit next to you?"

Baili Yong smiled and was very pleased. He suddenly felt that she was quite polite.

"Don't you always sit next to me?"

"Tsk, who knew you were the emperor at that time? Didn't you say your name was Li Yong?"

Baili Yong smiled, stood up and picked her up. The eunuch took this opportunity to move the chair over.

Baili Yong gently placed her on the chair. None of the beauties in the six courtyards had received such treatment, and none of them had ever been held in his arms like his wife.
