The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 619: Lou Han

"Third brother, you are good at retorting." Quan Qingcheng was very satisfied, but at the same time he felt that he could not be at a disadvantage and he had to say something to turn the tables. But his third brother had already retorted to Prince Su Yuan, so he could not just pick on one sheep.

He thought for a while, looked at the Regent, and said, "Why does the Imperial Uncle always expose my shortcomings? He said that I was dumb before, and that I never went to school. Although these are all facts, the common people outside know that family disgrace should not be made public, and the Imperial Uncle's awareness cannot be lower than that of a commoner. What's more, what does this mean to Prince Su Yuan? It will make people think that we have a bad relationship between uncle and nephew. If our relationship is not good, how can you still be the regent? Then I have to go to the Emperor to complain about you! What if you are removed... Hehe, then you will lose more than you gain, and people will laugh at you? And then you will meet a few people who will take advantage of your misfortune..." "Enough!" Quan Ji clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, please have your meal!" After that, he picked up the chopsticks and did not speak to Prince Su Yuan again. The two of them just looked at each other, and I don't know what was conveyed in that look, which made Quan Qingcheng frown.

He was unhappy with this Crown Prince Su Yuan, so he secretly planned to find fault with him. He put down his chopsticks after taking two bites of the dish and asked Crown Prince Su Yuan: "I heard that Su Yuan's surname is Lou. I wonder if Your Highness can tell me your name?"

"Lou Qinghan." Prince Su Yuan answered straightforwardly, "My name is Lou Qinghan."

"Lou Qinghan, um, what a good name." Quan Qingcheng smiled, "We both have the word Qing in our names, so it can be considered fate."

Lou Qinghan glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid the word 'Qing' in my name is not the same as yours, Your Majesty."

"Oh, so that's it!" Quan Qingcheng nodded, "Indeed, it shouldn't be the same, otherwise you would have violated a taboo. Although you are the Crown Prince Su Yuan, I can't do anything to you, but now that you have come to my Northern Qi territory, it's not good to openly use the name and words of my Northern Qi royal family. My brothers and uncles would not feel comfortable hearing it. Isn't that right, Third Brother?"

Quan Qingyun snorted softly, "Although it's not the same word when written, it still sounds the same, so it's not comfortable."

"Oh, that's not good." Quan Qingcheng thought about it and said, "How about this, Prince Su Yuan, please bear with it for a few days and temporarily put aside the word Qing and just call yourself Lou Han. After you return to Su Yuan, you can return to your original name."

"Your Majesty." The regent frowned and called him, with a tone of obvious rebuke. "Although Your Majesty is not in charge of the government now, your words and deeds represent Northern Qi, so please weigh every word before you speak, and think twice before you do anything. Suyuan Kingdom and Northern Qi have equal power, what qualifications do you have to change the name of the prince?"

"Uncle." Quan Qingcheng's face darkened. "It's true that Su Yuan and Northern Qi are equal, but the prince and the emperor are of different generations. What's wrong with me, as the emperor, asking him to temporarily change his name? Could it be that uncle means that Prince Su Yuan is equivalent to the monarch of Northern Qi? Then you underestimate your own country. Also, don't uncle feel offended? That's right, there is no Qing in your name, so you naturally don't feel it. So, the royal family is still the orthodox only from the direct line. Others, even if they are called royal relatives, still lack too much sense of family honor, it's different."

Quan Ji was so angry that his face turned pale, and his eyes glared at Quan Qingcheng fiercely, but Quan Qingcheng didn't care and even asked him: "What's wrong with my uncle's eyes? Are you feeling uncomfortable? If you are not feeling well, please call the imperial physician to see you immediately. We can't delay this any longer."

Quan Ji took a deep breath and said, "I am fine, Your Majesty is worrying too much."

"It's good that nothing happened. I'm relieved." Quan Qingcheng started to eat with a smile. Quan Ji just breathed a sigh of relief, but Quan Qingcheng had something to say again. This time he asked Prince Su Yuan again, and the first thing he said was - "Lou Han!"

Quan Ji almost fainted. Lou Qinghan also looked at the little emperor with admiration. He even cast a puzzled look at Quan Ji. The meaning of that look was very clear: what the little emperor said to you is not the same thing!

Quan Ji didn't meet his gaze, because he couldn't explain what was going on with Quan Qingcheng. He couldn't say that the little emperor had been hanging out with Miss Ye for the past six months, and the more he hung out with her, the more eloquent he became, and the more unreasonable he became. Then he would have to explain what was going on with Ye Wenyan, but how could Ye Wenyan be explained in just a few words?

The Regent was helpless and could only say nothing and wait for Quan Qingcheng to continue.

Then Quan Qingcheng said, "Lou Han, you have worked hard all the way from Suyuan to Lin'an. It is summer now, and the land of Northern Qi is full of flowers, willows, and rivers. I wonder how you feel after walking all the way? Such a vibrant land is completely different from your Suyuan, isn't it? You too, why didn't you tell me you were coming earlier? If you had told me earlier, I could have sent someone to greet you. We Northern Qi people have always attached great importance to etiquette. Whether it is the royal family or the common people, we have a very traditional way of entertaining guests. And if we go out to visit others, we will never go without even saying hello, as that would seem too rash and unwelcome.

It can be seen that a small country is a small country, and it still lacks rules and etiquette. Lou Han, since you have come to Northern Qi, don't come in vain. I will ask the people from the Ministry of Rites to visit you later and pass on the etiquette of Northern Qi to Su Yuan.

Then again, uncle——" He cue the regent again, and the regent was very troubled. "Since you have known Crown Prince Su Yuan for a long time, how come you didn't get the news? It can be seen that Crown Prince Su Yuan also has reservations about you!"

Quan Ji snorted, "This prince and Crown Prince Su Yuan are not familiar with each other."

"Eh? Not familiar with you?" Quan Qingcheng was surprised. "No, no, if not familiar with you, how could it be possible that I hosted a banquet for Lou Han, but Lou Han only talked to you? This is talking to people who know each other, that's called talking to acquaintances to ease the awkwardness, but if you are obviously not familiar with me, but still only talk to you, that is ignoring me, the king of Northern Qi, the nature is different. Even if the people of Suyuan don't know etiquette, they can't be so stupid that they can't even distinguish between the big and small kings. Wouldn't that make them fools?"

Quan Ji felt like he was about to have a heart attack. He glared at Quan Qingcheng fiercely and reminded him, "If Your Majesty could use this cleverness in government affairs, I would have much less worries than I do now."

"Uncle, do you mean that I didn't use my abilities properly? Oh, I didn't expect that uncle would think this way. I always thought that uncle just wanted to control the government and not let me get involved too early! In that case, when you go to court tomorrow, tell all the civil and military officials that I will be in charge of all government affairs in the future, so uncle can save his worries."

"You——" Quan Ji's words were stuck in his mouth and he couldn't say them. He felt that Quan Qingcheng had been corrupted by Ye Wenyan, or even possessed by Ye Wenyan. He felt quite ashamed and even couldn't eat this meal.

It was a pity that he couldn't leave yet, as that would be even more embarrassing. It was a small matter for Crown Prince Su Yuan to laugh at him, but if Crown Prince Su Yuan felt that he, the regent, was actually just an empty shell with no real power, that would be a big problem. So he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said, "The emperor is not yet eighteen, nor has he married yet, so he has to wait another two years before he can rule the country. Although I don't want to deal with state affairs, the late emperor entrusted me with his care before his death, so I have no choice but to fulfill his wish. As for Crown Prince Su Yuan... I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness. I am the new emperor of Northern Qi, so I don't think too much before I speak or act. Please don't blame me."

Lou Qinghan narrowed his eyes and looked at Quan Qingcheng. Although he still had that wicked smile on his face, he was thinking more in his heart.

In the past, we only heard that this young emperor had no ability and had been mute for more than ten years. Even if he sits on the throne now, it is just an empty title. The person who truly holds the power in Northern Qi is the regent Quan Ji.

But now it seems that this is not the case. Although the regent holds great power on the surface, in fact, the little emperor has been rising rapidly and even dares to confront the regent head-on. Even if this confrontation is at the dinner table instead of in the court, everything has a gradual process. If he dares to say such things at the dinner table today, the regent will probably not get much benefit in the court in the future. If the regent has no real power, then he will have to think twice before discussing things with the regent.

Lou Qinghan smiled and raised his wine cup to Quan Qingcheng, "Your Majesty is young and promising, I toast to you."

Quan Qingcheng also raised his wine cup: "Okay, Lou Han, please!"

Lou Han shouted these words one by one. Although Lou Qinghan did not show any displeasure on the surface, he was already furious in his heart and wished to kill Quan Qingcheng. He glared at Quan Ji from time to time, with obvious warnings and dissatisfaction in his eyes, which made Quan Ji very angry.

Quan Qingyun looked at this scene and curled the corners of his lips. When he looked at Quan Qingcheng again, there was a look of approval in his eyes.

This is what a monarch of Northern Qi should be like. It was from this moment on that he saw the future potential of Quan Qingcheng. The disdain and disappointment he had felt towards Quan Qingcheng in the past were also alleviated a lot at this moment.

On the small road of the imperial palace, a palace servant led Su Yuanguo and the envoy to the palace where the guests were staying. When they reached a fork in the road, the palace servant said to the old man and the two young men in white, "Please follow me to the left. Male guests can only stay in the palace in front. Going further in is the harem, which is only open to female relatives."

The old man nodded, glanced at his daughter in a silver dress, and said, "You can go to the harem, don't worry about it."

The woman in the silver skirt said "OK" and continued walking with another palace maid.

Ye Hongzhuang had already changed her appearance, and now she was following the woman in the silver skirt, walking forward in small steps...
