Chapter 119 I Really Want to Sue Him for Sexual Harassment

The next day, a banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the fall of the Heaven Wolf Country without a fight, and also to welcome gu shaoqing, the third son of the Gu Family.

Before the banquet, Mu Tinng only brought Dehai to Phoenix Palace. Su Mianyue got up to greet him. Mu Tinng did not beat around the bush and directly mentioned Gu Changqing.

"Gu Changqing has done a great job this time. How does the empress think she should reward him for his generosity?" Mu Tinng sat down and asked in a pleasant voice.

"The harem is not allowed to do politics, and the concubines dare not speak in vain. I think the emperor has made a decision in his heart." Su Mianyue replied indifferently as he stood up.

"Since I have asked the empress, she can only speak freely." Mu Tinng reached out and pulled Su Mianyue to his side.

"Your concubine obeys your orders." Su Mianyue nodded with a slight smile and asked without answering, "Gu Changqing made a great contribution. Your concubine has heard of it, but she also heard some doubts. I'm sure the emperor also knows about it. Your concubine took the liberty to ask, if Gu Changqing did not negotiate with the Heaven Wolf Country, what would the outcome of this battle be? What are the interests of the Heaven Wolf Country when gu changqing negotiates with the Heaven Wolf Country?"

Mu Tinng smiled slightly and pondered for a while, "General Shangguan will naturally break into the Heaven Wolf Country and take the Heaven Wolf Country into the hinterland. Although a large amount of food and grass will be consumed by the company, many soldiers will die, but the income will not only be to bow down and submit. Every year, one hundred thousand gold, more than ten thousand cattle and more than ten thousand sheep."

Su Mianyue nodded. This was known to all, but gu changqing's courage was commendable. Without rewards, the hearts of those soldiers who fought in blood would be chilled. No one wanted to die on the battlefield, especially those who could defeat without fighting.

After receiving the hot tea from Biwu, Su Mianyue handed it to Mu Tinng and said softly, "Now that River South is plagued with insects, there will definitely be a shortage of food and grass, and a hundred thousand soldiers will be spared from the battle on the battlefield. Gu Changqing has indeed contributed a lot. However, in this battle, General Shangguan was the commander in chief. Gu Changqing did not ask General Shangguan for his orders, which was against military discipline. Even if the soldiers were grateful to him, they could not allow him to stay in the army. Otherwise, the military law would be in vain, and everyone would follow Gu Changqing's lead. Sooner or later, the army would be scattered."

After praising Gu Changqing for his credit and then talking about the military rules, Su Mianyue didn't say a word about how to reward Gu Changqing.

"Tonight at the banquet, Concubine Ling must attend. What does the queen think she should do?" Mu Tinng asked again.

Su Mianyue smiled at mu ting and said softly, "Your majesty, since ancient times, the former dynasty and the rear palace have been inseparable. However, Gu Changqing had both merits and demerits in this matter, and Concubine Ling had made a mistake first. Unlike the banquet, this palace personally pardoned Concubine Ling's disrespectful crime, which was considered a kind of sympathy for gu changqing. What does the emperor think?"

There was no sound of a slap, nor was it too sweet to give a date, otherwise Gu Linng would definitely jump up.

Mu Tinng frowned and fixed his eyes on Su Mianyue's face. Seeing that she was still smiling, he nodded and said, "The empress should be in charge of the affairs of the harem, so the empress should be in charge."

"Doesn't the emperor think that his concubines are too proud to be favored by the emperor?" Su Mianyue asked.

"If the empress is really proud of herself, I am glad." Pinching Su Mianyue's palm, Mu Tinng stood up with a smile and said, "Empress, please change your clothes first. I haven't visited the imperial concubines for a long time. I just took the time to visit them."

"Your majesty." Su Mianyue got up and chased after him for a few steps, then said in a low voice: "Concubine Qing has been pregnant for more than six months. When I heard the baby in his womb at this time, I could hear the voice of the outside world. I often heard the voice of someone, and I will be intimate with someone in the future. The emperor might as well talk to Concubine Qing more, so that Little Prince would know how much his father was looking forward to his arrival and be stronger."

"The queen knows a lot." Mu Tinng's face lightened up and asked, "How did the queen know it was Little Prince?"

"Concubines are not divine operators. Naturally, they don't know." Su Mianyue curled his lips and then said with a worried face, "I only know that the prosperity of the royal children represents the prosperity of the country. Only with a large number of royal children can we select the most suitable prince to inherit the throne. The Tianlan country will be more prosperous."

Mu Tinng's eyes softened a little. He raised his hand and stroked Su Mianyue's cheek, "Indeed, the queen has changed. She has more and more potential to be a virtuous queen. However, I hope that in front of me, the queen is carefree and honest."

Su Mianyue forced out a fake smile. Mu Tinng sighed in disappointment and walked away. Dehai took a deep look at Su Mianyue before following him and quickly looked away.

When Mu Tinng's figure walked away, Su Mianyue immediately wiped his face with a brocade handkerchief and muttered, "They all say that a gentleman doesn't use his mouth to do anything. They really want to sue him for sexual harassment."

Regardless of Su Mianyue's change of clothes and makeup, as well as mu tingde's small seat in the qing palace, after the banquet began, the empress emperor met outside Banquet Hall and walked into the banquet hand in hand. All the officials and the imperial wife knelt to welcome him.

"Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."

"The empress is thousands of years old. Thousands of years old."

Mu Tinng waved the crowd to get up and said, "Gu Changqing did a great job of neutrality in the Heaven Wolf Country battle. Go forward and listen to the letter."

"General Gu Changqing, see your majesty." Gu Changqing stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Gu Changqing went into the kingdom of the heavenly wolf alone, surrendering his troops without a fight, and making the Heaven Wolf Country bow down to him. This is a great achievement. I am willing to reward Gu Changqing as your superior general. However, I have heard that the military regulations are strict, and Gu Changqing did not report to the top when he acted. If he returns to the army, he will have to bear 200 military regulations. I cannot bear it. Therefore..." Mu Tinng's voice lengthened, hanging everyone's heart, especially Gu Changqing's face had turned white, Mu Tinng's eyes dimmed, and continued: "Officer Gu Changqing into the third grade, the cabinet will be served on the day."

The cabinet was an important place in the imperial court, but the officials of the third grade could only be handyman. Without ten or eight years, they would not be promoted. Otherwise, they would be suspected by the emperor.

Moreover, Gu Changqing joined the army and took the military official route, making him go to the cabinet with suspicion of going up in the open and down in the dark.

However, Mu Tinng's mind was always strange, no one could guess his ultimate goal, so the man dynasty could only wait and see.

Gu Changqing froze there, forgetting even shane. Su Mianyue looked at him sarcastically and covered his lips with a smile, "Your majesty, the gu qing family is so happy that they forgot to thank the lord, long en. The concubine wanted to use this festive day to forgive Concubine Ling for being so proud of himself, but when you look at the state of the gu qing family, forget it, lest the gu qing family can't bear so much good news."

Mu Tinng only glanced at Su Mianyue and did not say anything, obviously agreeing with Su Mianyue.

Although Gu Changqing was a meritorious man, both thunder and rain were jun en. Mu Tinng was angry that he was dissatisfied with Mu Tinng's will.

"Minister, thank you for your kindness." Gu Changqing regained his senses and immediately kowtowed to xie en, but there was a raging fire burning in his heart. In order for him to control his military power, how big a game had been set up by the Gu Family?

Grand Preceptor Gu also had a grim face, smiling even harder than crying. Su Chengye shook his head in disappointment and did not take this opportunity to criticize Grand Preceptor Gu's party for its mistakes. Otherwise, they would not be tolerant enough to tolerate the meritorious officials.

The banquet was still going on, and the atmosphere was not high because Mu Tinng's reward was so unexpected.

In Weiyang Palace, Gu Linng specially dressed up today, which was originally the appearance of a small jade family. At this moment, she was dressed more like water hibiscus, and there was no lack of innocence in her beauty, which would definitely make a man feel pampered when he saw her.

However, after waiting for a few hours, there was still no sign of any palace people coming to announce the decree. Gu ling sent the palace people to Banquet Hall to inquire about the news.

"If you go back to your mother, there's news from Banquet Hall that you can't forgive her..." Bizhu spoke carefully, afraid that Gu Linng would take it out on her.

Upon hearing this, Gu Linng's face immediately darkened. His sharp eyes shot at bizhu and asked, "What title did my third brother bestow?"

Bizhu looked at Gu Linng hesitantly and met her knife-like gaze. He quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Third young master has been assigned to the cabinet. He is a senior member of the third grade."

With that said, Bizhu quietly moved back, at least the beating wouldn't hurt so much.

When Gu Linng heard this, he was furious. He waved his hand and swept off the white jade vase beside him, "It must be that little bitch Su Mianyue who did this. The emperor clearly said that he wanted to confer a title on Third Brother. How could it be a third-rank official of the district or a cabinet member? Isn't that the same as going up and down in the open?"

Listening to Gu Linng's words, Bizhu's head dropped even lower, but she did not dare to speak casually. She was just a slave, how could she guess what the emperor was thinking?

After venting his anger, Gu Linng stood up and said, "No, I can't just sit here and wait for death. Third Brother has spent so much effort in order to get to the position of general, he can't let that bitch Su Mianyue ruin his future. Besides, the emperor has not come to Weiyang Palace for a long time. If this continues, there is no difference between Weiyang Palace and the cold palace!"

Bizhu froze and wanted to stop Gu Linng from acting impulsively, but his eyes turned and he took a step back and let Gu Linng do what he wanted.

Gu Linng soon came to Banquet Hall with a group of palace people, and asked to see Mu Tinng loudly. Mu Tinng's face darkened a little. Even Grand Preceptor Gu was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled with satisfaction. The daughter he had cultivated with all his efforts was indeed outstanding.

Glancing at Gu Linng indifferently, Su Mianyue picked up his wine glass and looked at mu ting. Seeing that his original anger had diminished a lot after seeing Gu Linng, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your majesty, your concubine's face has been beaten so much that she kneels down."

Su Mianyue was about to get up when Mu Tinng grabbed her.

"As the mother of the country, the emperor is not in any condition and should not leave his seat halfway." Mu Tinng's voice was gentle, and if gu lingshi could not see him kneeling down, he ordered de hai, "Go and prepare a bowl of soup for the empress to cool down. I remember that there is a piece of goat fat and warm jade in the tribute offered by the Heaven Wolf Country this time, and make a set of gestures to send it to the empress."

"No." Su Mianyue stopped her. Knowing that mu ting was comforting her, he said softly, "A warm jade is something you can't ask for. Although my palace is cold, Empress Dowager needs to hold on to Empress Dowager's side first. Moreover, the emperor was injured in an assassination. Wearing a warm jade is good for your health. I can't be in front of you."

When Mu Tinng heard this, his heart warmed up, and he couldn't bear to let go of Su Mianyue's hand, so he signaled Dehai to do what Su Mianyue wanted. After all, filial piety was the first thing.

"The empress still thinks of zhou dao, but I am unfilial." Listening to the compliments from his subordinates, Mu Tinng was in a good mood and praised Su Mianyue, which stole the limelight from Gu Changqing.

"The emperor is busy with all sorts of things, so he can't take care of everything. This is what his concubines should do. Besides, the emperor must have a better gift to honor Empress Dowager. My concubines will go to Cining Palace tomorrow to feast their eyes." Su Mianyue responded with a smile. The husband and wife made up for each other, but it made Gu Linng's knees hurt and he didn't get a straight line.

Gu Linng was unpopular, or at Gu Changqing's merit banquet, which was equivalent to slapping the Gu Family in disguise. Who in the audience could not tell that this was the empress dowager's intention?

However, Gu Linng didn't know what to do and insisted on getting his face beaten, which made Su Mianyue secretly laugh.

"Concubine Concubine Ling, see your majesty." Gu Linng gritted her teeth and shouted again. She remembered all the humiliation today.

"Why is Concubine Ling here?" Seeing that Mu Tinng frowned and did not speak, Concubine Shu looked up with a smile and said, "I heard that Concubine Ling was grounded because she was spoiled. She's still grounded, but she broke into Banquet Hall without being summoned. Indeed, she's worthy of this crime, and she's relieved to hear that she did something wrong by accident in the future. Concubine Ling can also be used as a reference to get away with it."

"Sister Concubine Shu is wrong. Sister Concubine Ling has the right to be spoiled. In the past, the emperor favored her, but now there is the glory of her brother. How can sister Concubine Shu compare with us?" Concubine Hua covered his mouth and sneered, ignoring Gu Linng's poisoned eyes.

A good palace banquet was completely snubbed by the repeated disrespect of the Gu Family, and Mu Tinng's face was even darker.
