Chapter 9 Palace Banquet (4) (4. My brother is no good!)
"His Majesty has arrived..."
"Her Majesty the Empress has arrived..."
A brief announcement.
The banquet hall into which the Emperor of Eastern Qin and his entourage entered.
"Greetings to your Majesty, and to the Queen."
"Greetings to all the ladies, princes, and princesses."
The officials and their families then paid their respects.
"Rise, all of you! This is a family banquet, so please don't stand on ceremony."
"Everyone, please take your seats!"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin smiled and walked to his seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone then took their seats.
The palace banquet officially began.
The ministers, accompanied by their families, toasted the princes, princesses, and other dignitaries in the banquet hall.
Because this was the first time in ten years that Qin Wu had attended a palace banquet, and he was the main figure at the banquet, all the ministers brought their families to offer him a toast.
Qin Wu did not refuse.
Just when everyone was happy.
A palace maid came to the Empress's side and whispered something in her ear.
"What? Are you telling the truth?"
The Empress's expression changed.
She repeatedly told people to be careful and not to let anything happen.
Unexpectedly, something still happened.
And it's not a small matter.
"Your Majesty, it is true. It concerns the Prince, and we servants dare not handle it, which is why we have come to report to Your Majesty."
The palace maid answered in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, what has happened?"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin also discovered the situation on the Empress's side.
"His Majesty..."
The Empress stammered, unsure how to explain.
"explain."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin snorted coldly.
"His Majesty..."
The Empress came to the side of the Emperor of Eastern Qin and whispered her report in his ear.
"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to cause trouble at the palace banquet?"
Upon hearing the Empress's report, the Emperor of Eastern Qin flew into a rage.
He never imagined that the King of Qi would be so absurd as to dare to do such a ridiculous thing at a palace banquet.
"Your Majesty."
Qi Ye quietly approached Qin Wu and whispered something in his ear.
"Interesting, interesting."
"This dull and tedious palace banquet is finally starting to get interesting."
"Go and have a look."
Qin Wu got up with great interest.
Qi Ye immediately led the way, taking Qin Wu away from the main hall and heading towards the side hall.
On the high platform above, the Emperor and Empress of Eastern Qin also noticed Qin Wu's departure.
"Go and ask where King Wu has gone."
Emperor Dong Qin gave instructions to Yongfu, the chief eunuch beside him.
Before long, the chief eunuch Yongfu returned and whispered a report in the ear of the Eastern Qin Emperor.
"Let's go to the side hall."
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin heard that Qin Wu had gone to the side hall, he originally wanted to keep the matter of the King of Qi a secret and deal with it after the palace banquet.
Now that he heard that Qin Wu had gone there, he knew that the matter could no longer be kept secret.
If we don't deal with it now, it might be too late.
Qin Wu had already arrived at the side hall.
"Your Highness, shall we just go in and catch them in the act?"
Qi Ye listened to the sounds coming from inside the room and asked somewhat awkwardly.
"Catching someone in the act? What's the point of catching someone in the act? It's a rare opportunity to see a live performance, and no one is allowed to interrupt my enjoyment."
"Oh, right, there's a little stray cat on the roof. Let's go check out the live show."
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he went up to the roof.
Qi Ye was left alone there, bewildered in the wind.
Qi Ye was speechless. When did his prince develop such a perverse sense of humor?
"do not move."
Qin Wu stopped the little wildcat from making a move and whispered something.
He then lifted a few tiles and watched the performance inside the house with great interest.
Qin Wu's actions froze the little wildcat in place.
The woman never expected that the man who suddenly appeared would be so bold as to dare to make a fool of the King of Qi.
"Shut up. I haven't encountered anything this interesting in a long time. This is your doing, isn't it!"
Seeing that the woman was about to say something, Qin Wu interrupted her directly.
The woman was stunned again when she heard Qin Wu refer to himself as "this king".
She had met several princes, but she had never seen this person before.
"Are you King Wu?"
The woman suddenly thought of someone: the protagonist of this palace banquet, King Wu Qin Wu, the youngest prince of Eastern Qin.
He was the first prince in the Eastern Qin dynasty to be enfeoffed as a king based on his military achievements before he even reached adulthood.
"So you've heard of me, little wildcat! This is your doing, isn't it? You dare to scheme against a prince of the current dynasty? You've got some nerve!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, how long has it been? And it's already over? My fourth brother is no good!"
Qin Wu sighed in amazement as he watched the man in the room finish so quickly.
"Qi Ye, add some spice to my fourth brother's story. How can my brother's story end so quickly?"
Qin Wu gave instructions to Qi Ye, who was standing behind him, disheveled in the wind.
Qi Ye was even more speechless now. When did his prince become so perverse?
However, he did not hesitate and immediately took out a bottle of medicine powder and sprinkled it into the room.
Moments later, the battle in the room resumed.
"Go, bring me a bottle of wine. How can we watch a play without wine?"
Qin Wu had just finished speaking.
The Emperor of Eastern Qin then arrived with his entourage.
The Emperor and Empress of Eastern Qin heard the commotion inside the room as soon as they arrived outside the palace.
Seeing this, Qin Wu realized that there was no good show to watch.
He leaped into the air and appeared in front of the Eastern Qin Emperor.
"Father, did you also come to observe the virility of the Fourth Prince? Father, you don't need to observe anymore. Your son has already confirmed for you that the Fourth Prince is no good."
Qin Wu's words stunned everyone present.
They never expected Qin Wu to say such a thing.
And you want to observe the majestic presence of King Qi? Is that even human language?
"Damn it, what nonsense are you spouting? What's going on inside?"
The Eastern Qin Emperor's forehead was covered in black lines, and his face was ashen.
It wasn't that the Eastern Qin Emperor was petty; it was simply that Qin Wu's words were too wicked.
There are not only members of the royal family present, but also a group of ministers and their families.
This is a disgrace to their royal family.
"It's nothing. I guess the Fourth Prince's wife couldn't satisfy him, so he couldn't resist and found someone in the side hall. Well, how should I put it?"
"Never mind, I can't really explain it either, but my fourth brother's hobby is indeed a bit unusual."
Qin Wu thought about it very seriously, and finally only mentioned one unusual hobby.
Qin Wu is now very interested in the little wildcat on the roof, and has even found a eunuch for the King of Qi.
King Qi has probably lost all face now.
When Emperor Dong Qin heard Qin Wu say that the King of Qi had unusual hobbies, his face darkened considerably.
"You bastard! Guards, break down the door for me!"
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was furious.
Immediately, Imperial Guards stepped forward and kicked the door open.
"Give."
Qin Wu pushed aside the Imperial Guards and went inside.
After entering, he sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of wine.
They started watching the play face-to-face.
Of course, he had already taken the antidote before going in.
The medicine in the room is not so simple.
He certainly didn't want to be poisoned by his own drugs.
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin entered, he saw that Qin Wu had not separated the two people on the bed, but was still watching the show from the side.
He even wanted to go up and give Qin Wu a few slaps.
"Separate these two bastards."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin angrily issued an order.
The Imperial Guards immediately stepped forward and forcibly separated the two.
