Chapter 620: Lou Han Ah

Year's Eve, this year it couldn't be done due to these circumstances. Since the elderly mistress wasn't making arrangements, the servants didn't dare to bring it up. 。Not until the hour of shenshi in..."Third Brother is so good at putting people in their place." 。"Quan Qingcheng was very satisfied, but she also felt that she couldn't just let things go. She had to find a way to turn the tables." 。But his third older brother has already scolded Su Yuan, the crown prince, he can't possibly go and pick on a lamb. 。

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the Regent King and said, "Uncle Emperor, why do you always expose my weaknesses Even though I was mute in the past and didn't attend school, although these are facts, commoners know that it's improper to air family matters. Your understanding can't be worse than a commoner's, can it"

What's more, wouldn't this make Prince Suyuan think something was wrong between us It would make it seem like we're not on good terms. 。If your relationship isn't good, how can you still manage this position Then I would have to go before the Emperor and report on you! If they were to dismiss you… Hehe, wouldn't that mean you'd lose out in every way and become the laughing stock of everyone And then if a few others jumped on the bandwagon... "Enough!" Quan Ji clenched his fists, "Your Majesty, please have your meal." He finished speaking, picked up his chopsticks himself, and stopped talking to Su Yuan, the Crown Prince. 。Only a glance passed between the two, an inexplicable message conveyed in that look that made Quingcheng frown deeply. 。 He was unhappy with this Prince Suyuan, so he secretly plotted to pick a fight. After only two bites of his meal, he put down his chopsticks and asked Prince Suyuan, "I heard that the surnames of the people in the country of Suyuan are Lou. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to tell me your given name" "Lou Qinghan" 。The Crown Prince of Suyuan answered readily, "My name is Lou Qinghan" 。"Lou Qinghan, mm, good name" 。"Quan Qingcheng smiled, "We both have the character 'Qing' in our names. It's fate." 。Lou Qinghan gave him a glance, "The 'qing' in Wang Minghui's name, I'm afraid it isn't the same as yours, Your Majesty." 。“Oh, I see!” Quan Qingcheng nodded, “Indeed it shouldn’t be just one, otherwise you would be breaking taboos.” 。Although you are the prince of Suyuan, I cannot do anything to you. However, since you have arrived in my Beiqi territory and openly use the names associated with the Beiqi royal family, it is not appropriate. My elder brothers and uncles would be uncomfortable hearing this. 。"Is that so, Third Brother" 權青允輕哼一聲，“Although they are written differently, they sound the same, so it’s still uncomfortable.” 。"Oh, that wouldn't do. 。"Quan Qingcheng thought for a moment and said, 'Perhaps this would work. Why don't you, Prince Suyuan, humble yourself for a few days and temporarily put aside the name 'Qing' Just call yourself Lou Han. After you return to Suyuan, you can resume your original name.'" 。"

" Emperor " 。The Regent frowned and called out to him, his tone laced with obvious rebuke. "Although the Emperor has not yet taken personal rule, everything he says and does represents Northern Qi, so please weigh your every word before you speak it, and think carefully about every action before you take it." 。"Suyuan Kingdom and I, Northern Qi, have equal power. What right do you have to change someone else's prince's name" "Imperial Uncle>>> 。“Qian Qingcheng also sank his face. “Su Yuan and Bei Qi are equal, that’s right, but the prince and the emperor are different in terms of seniority.” 。As a sovereign emperor, what's wrong with temporarily changing his name for him Does my royal uncle mean that Prince Suyuan is the same as the ruler of Northern Qi Then you overestimate your own country. 。And, wouldn't Uncle Huang feel offended That's right, your name doesn't have a single "qing" character in it, so naturally you wouldn't feel anything. 。Therefore, the imperial family still considers the legitimate lineage to be the most authentic. Others, even if they are called imperial relatives, their sense of family honor is still lacking compared to the legitimate line. It's just different. 。"

Quan Ji was so angry his face turned red, his eyes glared fiercely at Quan Qingcheng. But Quan Qingcheng didn't seem to care, and even asked him: "Is something wrong with Uncle Emperor's eyes Are they uncomfortable If you're uncomfortable, quickly send for the imperial physician, don't delay this." 。"

The great general took a deep breath, "Your Majesty needn't worry, I am well." 。"It's good that you're alright, then I can rest easy." 。"Quan Qingcheng started eating with a smile, Quan Ji just let out a sigh of relief, but then Quan Qingcheng had something to say again." 。This time, the question was still directed at Su Yuan, the crown prince, and he opened with a—"Lou Han!"Qian Ji almost choked on his words. Lou Qinghan also looked at the emperor with newfound respect, even casting a questioning glance at Qian Ji, a clear message in his eyes: This emperor is not like yours!Qian Ji didn't meet his gaze, because he couldn't figure out what was going on with this Emperor Qiongcheng either. 。It's impossible for the Emperor to just hang around with Fourth Sister every day for half a year and become more sharp-tongued, more unreasonable. 。Then I would have to explain what Ye Wen's Night Temperature means, but what does Ye Wen's Night Temperature mean Is that something that can be explained in a word or two

The Regent was helpless, he could only do nothing and wait for Quan Qingcheng to continue. 。Then, Quan Qingcheng said to Lou Han, "Lou Han, you have traveled all the way from Suyuan to my Lin'an city. You must have been very tired." 。Now that summer is in full swing, the land of Northern Qi is ablaze with blossoms and lush greenery. The rivers flow turbulently. I wonder how you feel after this long journey Such a vibrant land is quite different from your Suyuan, wouldn't you say You arrived rather late. Had you come sooner, I could have sent someone to greet you. 。We people of the Northern Qi Dynasty always place great importance on etiquette. Whether it's royalty or commoners, we have very traditional ways of receiving guests, and when we go to visit others, we would never show up without saying hello first. That would be considered too rude and impolite. 。As you can see, the country is still lacking in rules and etiquette. 。Since you have arrived in Beiqi, don't come all this way for nothing. I will have the Ministry of Rites visit you later and introduce you to the customs of Beiqi, passing on some knowledge to Su Yuan. 。Speaking of which, Uncle Huang—" He paused again, "It's you, the Regent King. The Regent King is giving me a headache..." 。"Since you've known Prince Suyuan for quite some time, how come you didn't receive any news It seems Prince Suyuan has kept his distance from you!"

Quan Ji let out a muffled hum, "This king is not close with Prince Suyuan. "> 。“Huh Unfamiliar” Quán Qīngchéng was surprised. “Impossible, impossible! If you were unfamiliar, how could I have hosted a banquet for Lóu Hán, while he only chatted happily with you When people who know each other speak, it's like easing awkwardness with acquaintances. But if you don’t know someone, yet still only talk to them, that’s ignoring me, the King of Beizhi! The nature is completely different.” 。Even if the people of Suyuan Country were ignorant of etiquette, they wouldn't be so foolish as to not distinguish even a king. Wouldn't that make them idiots 。"He felt his heart skipping a beat, he glared fiercely at Quan Qingcheng and reminded him, "If Your Majesty used this cleverness for governing the country, I would be a lot less worried than I am now." 。“Your Majesty means that I haven't used my abilities in the right place Alas, I didn't expect Your Highness to think this way. I always thought Your Highness only wanted to hold onto power and prevent me from interfering too early! Well, since that's the case, tomorrow when we go to court, you tell all the civil and military officials that from now on, I will be in charge of all matters concerning government. This way, Your Highness can rest assured.” 。"You—" Quan Ji's words got stuck in his throat. The feeling that Quan Qingcheng had been corrupted by Ye Wenyan, even possessed by him, came back again. 。He felt quite embarrassed, and even the meal was becoming a bit difficult to stomach. 。It's a pity he can't leave yet, that would be even more embarrassing. Making Prince Suyuan laugh at him is one thing, but if Prince Suyuan thinks this Regent King is actually just a figurehead with no real power, that would be a major problem. 。So he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and said again: "The emperor is not yet eighteen years old, nor has he been married. It is still necessary to wait two more years before taking the throne." 。While I would rather not involve myself in matters of state, the late emperor entrusted me with his legacy before his passing. I cannot disregard his final wishes. 。As for Prince Suyuan... I beg your pardon, Your Highness. As the new emperor of Northern Qi, I am still young and inexperienced. My words and actions may not always be thoughtful enough. Please do not blame me. 。Lou Qinghan narrowed his eyes and looked at Quan Qingcheng. Although he still had that eerie smile on his face, there was also a hint of thoughtfulness in his heart. 。All I had heard about this emperor was that he was incompetent. For over ten years, he was a mute. Now that he's ascended to the throne, he's just a figurehead. The real power in Northern Qi lies with Regent Wang Ji. 。But now it doesn't seem like that at all. Although the Regent King holds the power on the surface, this emperor is rapidly rising in influence, even daring to confront the Regent King directly. 。Even though this was happening at a dinner table instead of in court, everything has a gradual process. Today he dared to speak like this at the dinner table, tomorrow in court, the Regent King would probably not benefit much from it. 。If the Regent had no real power, then anything he wished to discuss with the Regent would have to be carefully considered. 。Lou Qinghan smiled and raised his wine glass to Quan Qingcheng, "Your Majesty is a talented young ruler, I toast to you" 。" Well, Lou Han, please!" Quan Qingcheng raised his cup. Although Lou Qinghan called out each word one by one, and on the surface he didn't seem to be unhappy at all, a fire of anger burned in his heart, wishing he could kill Quan Qingcheng. 。He would occasionally glare at Quanji, his eyes filled with a clear warning and displeasure, which made Quanji extremely embarrassed. 。Quan Qingyun watched this scene, and also smirked. When he looked at Quan Qingcheng again, his eyes were filled with approval. 。This is what the ruler of Northern Qi should be like. It was from this moment that he saw the potential of Quan Qingcheng, and all those disdain and frustration he had for Quan Qingcheng before lessened considerably. 。On the road to the Imperial Palace, an attendant led Su Yuan Kingdom's envoy and his entourage toward their guest quarters. 。 As they reached a fork in the road, the palace maid addressed the old man and the two young men in white: "Please follow me, sir, to the left. The male guests may reside in the courtyard ahead, and further inside is the inner palace, accessible only to female residents." 。"

The old man nodded, glanced at his daughter in her silver dress, and said, “Go to the inner palace now, and don’t worry about "

The woman in the silver skirt said, “Good,” and then followed another palace maid as they continued walking. 。Yehongzhuang has already been disguised, and at this time, she follows the woman in silver behind her, stepping forward...to provide for the families of retired soldiers or those who have perished in service. 。Xiao Jue told Bai Chuxiao, "Elder Sister Four and His Majesty are thoughtful. As a younger sister, you naturall...
