After the death of the host: the tyrant cried red eyes

Xu Qingyou's eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and her teeth were clattering, almost breaking into pieces.

After a moment of stalemate, she suddenly sneered: "Okay, Madam, please watch carefully!"

After she finished speaking, she straightened her chest and stomach, mustered up her courage, and walked towards Xiao Yi again.

Looking at her resolute back, Shen Bingning smiled more meaningfully: "Luzhong, bring some melon seeds."

"Why is your Majesty in the mood to eat?"

Lu Zhong handed over a handful of melon seeds. Shen Bingning's eyes curved slightly and she whispered, "Just watch the fun."

Xiao Yi was holding his chin with his hand, staring at the wine glass nonchalantly, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps and slowly raised his eyes.

Xu Qingyou lowered her head shyly, with a charming smile on her lips: "Congratulations to your majesty on the successful conclusion of the Spring Banquet. I am here to offer a toast to your majesty."

"Ok?"

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shen Bingning who was enjoying melon seeds on the side, her eyes sparkling with the gleam of watching a show.

The hand holding the cup was already slightly sore, and Xu Qingyou couldn't help but call out softly: "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, changed his usual behavior, and raised his glass to gesture.

Xu Qingyou was overjoyed and quickly drank it all in one gulp. Although it was a light liquor, it made her cheeks flush with an attractive blush, attracting more glances at her.

"I heard that Your Majesty has been keen on this item recently. I was fortunate enough to meet a young man who had returned from the Western Regions. I spent a lot of money to buy a pigeon blood ruby ​​and specially presented it to Your Majesty."

Xu Qingyou spoke drunkenly, her voice becoming softer and softer.

Xiao Yi was very interested when he heard this: "Oh? Miss Xu is so thoughtful? Bring it here and have a look."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The gem is very valuable and I carry it with me. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to present it to you personally."

Xu Qingyou lowered his eyebrows and took out an exquisite mahogany box from his arms.

"No problem, come forward."

Xiao Yi waved his hand.

"This Xu Qingyou is not simple, he has some skills."

Shen Bingning in the back was muttering to herself while eating melon seeds. She originally thought Xu Qingyou was just an impulsive cannon fodder, but she didn't expect that she was well prepared. No wonder she dared to challenge him.

"As ordered!"

Xu Qingyou responded excitedly, holding the box and slowly walking towards Xiao Yi. Facing this enchanting king, his heart was beating like a drum and it was difficult to calm down.

For today, she specially picked out a hundred-flower aromatherapy diffuser, which would surely leave a deep impression on the emperor.

When she thought of this, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Xiao Yi took the box and slowly opened the lid. The tempting deep red inside instantly attracted all eyes. Inside the mahogany box was a gem with a uniform and bright color, almost comparable to an egg.

The size, color, and transparency are all so valuable that you can tell at a glance.

Xiao Yi's frown gradually relaxed: "Yes, it is indeed the best quality among the recent tributes. Miss Xu, thank you for your hard work.

It is my blessing to serve the Emperor!"

Xu Qingyou was overjoyed and felt more confident, but he still rolled his eyes at Shen Bingning.

Miss Xu has been a great help. Just let me know what reward you want.

Xiao Yi put away the gem and asked in a low voice.

Xu Qingyou smiled shyly and pursed her lips: "Your Majesty is too polite. I just want to share your worries. I don't need any reward. As long as your Majesty is happy, I will be satisfied."

She had charming eyes and she tried to bring them closer while talking. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had something else in her words.

Xiao Yi's voice was cold and emotionless, and he said in a formulaic way:

Miss Xu is too modest, a reward is necessary.

Since it is the emperor's wish, I will not refuse..."

Xu Qingyou pretended to be reserved and said softly: "It is said that at the Spring Banquet, the more popular a woman is, the more prey she will receive. I also want to have a taste of that."

The melon seed shell was empty. Shen Bingning shook off the crumbs on her hands, feeling mixed emotions.

Xu Qingyou's series of actions were both explicit and implicit. He even gave her such a precious gem. If I didn't agree to this request, I'm afraid people would gossip about me.

Before she opened her mouth, Lu Zhong beside her was angry: "This Xu Qingyou has evil intentions, and is clearly trying to steal the queen's limelight!"

Shen Bingning patted her shoulder and said, "Although she has this idea, she may not be able to achieve her wish."

Madam, you mean…"

With a puzzled look on her face, Shen Bingning just gave her a meaningful smile: Just wait and see, the best is yet to come.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yi stood up and said, "It's just a prey. Since Miss Xu likes it, then give it to her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xu Qingyou's face was full of pride.

Xiao Yi walked towards Shangguan Yi. Under everyone's gaze, their eyes met. Xiao Yi spoke first: "General Shangguan, today's prey is the most outstanding. I wonder if you can give it up. I got a precious sword not long ago, which is just right for you, General."

Shangguan Yi replied calmly: "If the emperor likes it, I am naturally happy to do so."

This sudden turn of events made the crowd stunned for a moment, and then they started to chuckle.

Even if the emperor wanted to exchange his sword for General Shangguan's prey, he would not give it directly to Xu Qingyou..."

"The Emperor is so merciless..."

Xu Qingyou turned pale as she was discussing this. Her body was trembling slightly with anger and shock, but she still tried to force out a smile: Your Majesty, I am actually... "

If General Shangguan's prey is not enough, I will find others to make up for it.

Xiao Yi interrupted her without any hesitation: "But these things of mine are to be given to the Queen. Other than that, you can choose whatever you want."

Ok?

Shen Bingning suddenly felt the burning gazes from the audience, catching her off guard.

She had expected that Xiao Yi would not play by the rules and might not fulfill Xu Qingyou's wish, but she had not expected that he would directly give the prey to her.

Even though the prey was her trophy.

At this point, even though Xu Qingyou had a thousand knots in her heart, she could only grit her teeth and accept it, saying indignantly: "I... thank you for your grace."

"Go back."

Xiao Yi waved his hand impatiently.

Xu Qingyou stomped his feet and left in anger. When he passed by Shen Bingning, he vaguely heard a hint of contemptuous laughter.

"Don't get complacent too soon!"

She gritted her teeth and her face turned livid.

Shen Bingning shrugged indifferently, as if nothing had happened.

The banquet continued, Xiao Yi returned to his seat and continued drinking, but his eyes would occasionally glance at Shen Bingning who was enjoying herself.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the ones you hunted earlier?"

The young eunuch next to him came closer and asked in a low voice.

He really didn't understand why the emperor had clearly hunted a wild boar weighing more than 300 kilograms, and also took out two deer and a breast to compete for the first place.

Xiao Yi picked up the wine glass and said calmly, "You guys decide."

The play ended, and Shen Bingning returned to her seat. She looked at Xiao Yi who was drinking beside her and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, why do you give me the prey?"

After taking a sip of wine, Xiao Yi answered formally: "You hunted it yourself, so it should belong to you."

"So that's the case……"

Shen Bingning forced a smile, thinking there might be some special reason, but it turned out to be so simple.

The night sky is dotted with a few stars, and the night is slowly drawn down like a thick curtain. The camp has been set up. Everyone will spend the night on the grassland tonight and set off for Beijing tomorrow.
