Chapter 161 It’s over, I’ve become the first one to stand out

The moment the Saker Falcon fell, Chu Qingmeng gritted his teeth, held on without shaking, held the eagle with his right hand, slowly sat down on the steps, propped up one leg, and put his hand on his leg. He seemed to be teasing the Saker Falcon inadvertently, but his eyes were looking at the tiger lightly.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene, and for a moment, they dared not move. Only Mu Lingxue shrugged and suppressed a laugh. While others might not know Chu Qingmeng, she did understand him. She had been feeling listless and exhausted when she left the house today. Sitting on the steps wasn't meant to look cool; she must be completely exhausted!

Finally, in less than a cup of tea, the tiger was defeated and crawled to Chu Qingmeng's feet. Its huge head rubbed against her legs, and it turned over on its belly, begging her to touch it. Chu Qingmeng smiled gently and reached out to touch it, indicating that everything was fine and they could sit down peacefully. Kui Wenzhong remained motionless, observing the expressions of the princes present. Unfortunately, none of them showed any flaws.

When Chu Qingmeng lowered her head to touch the tiger, an unfriendly look was cast at her, and at the same time a jujube-pit nail came towards her. Xia Zhi raised her hand and two leaves flew over, one blocked the jujube-pit nail, and the other hit the person who attacked. An inconspicuous eunuch in the corner slowly fell down.

Someone pushed the cage back over, and Chu Qingmeng patted the tiger's head to signal it to go in. The tiger obediently went into the cage. Once the tiger was in the cage, everyone relaxed their guard and returned to their seats. Chu Qingmeng was still sitting on the steps at this time. He turned around and looked at Mo Liujin pitifully, and said weakly, "Heavy~"

Mo Liujin smiled, took two steps over, took the Saker Falcon and placed it on a huge bird stand beside him. Then he helped her up. Chu Qingmeng was really out of strength. The Saker Falcon was very heavy! She had been out of strength these days. After holding it for nearly two cups of tea, her whole arm could not be lifted. Mo Liujin had no choice but to hold her again and slowly walked back to the seat. He let her sit down and then sat down himself. Chu Qingmeng silently rolled up her sleeves and took a look. Wow, there were several bloodstains! The skin and flesh were all scratched.

The scene was quickly cleaned up and restored to order. The people who had just treated Chu Qingmeng like a child suddenly felt quite complicated.

"An Ning, you have great skills." The emperor said with a smile from his seat. "I didn't know you could tame animals."

Chu Qingmeng was helpless. She didn't want to stand out and be a sitting duck, but in her attempt to find someone, she ended up exposing herself. After today, there would be no peace. The emperor spoke, and Chu Qingmeng wanted to thank him, but the fight had exhausted her energy. Mo Liujin stood up and helped her up, then walked over to the table to thank him. "Your Majesty is too kind. I only learned a few things from my brother when I was young."

Seeing that Mo Liujin was still supporting her, the emperor frowned slightly, "An Ning, your body is still not fully recovered, is it?"

Chu Qingmeng gave a wry smile and acted weak, "Your Majesty, An Ning's body can only be sustained by medicine. I have just exhausted all my strength, otherwise I would not be so rude."

Mu Lingxue lowered her head to hide the smile in her eyes. She was so weak that she really doubted whether the girl who rode with her the day before was really her. However, she had to go through with the whole act.

The emperor nodded and said in a clear voice, "An Ning has done a great service in saving me today. Is there anything you would like? Just ask."

Chu Qingmeng suddenly came out of his sorrow of lamenting his lack of peaceful days. His eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at the emperor and said, "I heard from my father a few days ago that the emperor had just acquired a Ferghana horse?"

The emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Girl, you really love horses to the extreme. Okay, then I'll give you that horse!"

Chu Qingmeng quickly thanked him, and then Mo Liujin helped her kneel back down to her seat.

After the farce was over, the emperor no longer had any interest in looking at the birthday gifts. He waved his hand lightly and asked them to be taken away. The sound of stringed instruments rang out, and the singing, dancing and acrobatics began again. The noble ministers began to toast each other again.

At this time, the person above Mo Liujin spoke up, "Is General Mo's wife not feeling well?"

"Thank you for your inquiry, Duke Fuguo. My wife has been in poor health since she was young and needs someone by her side all the time. Otherwise, she would not have brought a maid into the palace today." Mo Liujin could see that Chu Qingmeng had made up her mind to pretend to be unwell today. Although he didn't know what she was going to do, he could not go wrong by agreeing with her.

Chu Qingmeng was slightly startled for a moment. Mo Liujin was the Duke of Fuguo before him? Could he be a "first-rank official"? She thought about it and realized what rank had to do with her. It wouldn't delay her meal. But it was really noisy here, making her a little irritated. Seeing her irritation, Xia Zhi touched his sleeve and took out a piece of cake. "Madam, if you don't want to eat vegetables, then have a dessert. Don't be picky. It's not good for your health to be hungry all the time."

Chu Qingmeng put on an unhappy look, took the pastry and ate it in small bites.

Everyone covered their mouths and chuckled when they saw this. Although General Mo's young wife had the ability to tame animals, she was still very young and was like a child, needing a nanny to remind her all the time.

Seeing Chu Qingmeng like this today, Ling Xiao's eyes widened, didn't he? What was this sick beauty up to today? When he took his second brother to see her, he heard that five big men had stabbed her throat, not even giving her a chance to breathe. What was she...she...doing? It was terrifying!
