Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 463 Drunkness

Xia Houdi really wanted to get drunk.

On the one hand, the joy of recognizing one's ancestors and settling down the dust that has been entangled for a lifetime is worth mentioning. On the other hand, the ugly scene of her brothers in front of the ministers made her depressed, and thinking about the intense situation in the future made her heart palpitate. That's all for brothers. The man I like is also causing trouble. Strictly speaking, this return to the clan is fake...

She knew that Ji Qingyuan would not canonize her easily, and originally planned to usher in relief.

But Xue Mu single-handedly promoted public opinion and was extremely confident, and in the end he actually succeeded in canonizing... She knew that it was most likely not Ji Qingyuan's intention, but Liu Wanxi's pen and Li Eunuch's seal. This was a fake edict. .

She didn't dare to think that Liu Wanxi and Eunuch Li were both Xue Mu's people. That would be too exaggerated. She identified Liu Wanxi as Liu Wanxi. The person who wrote the imperial edict must be the first key. There may be many ways to deceive the person who signed the seal, or through bribery or transactions, to make him turn a blind eye. The initiative in writing is unusual. This person is most likely Xue Mu's.

The thought of Xue Mu reaching into the inner palace and even sleeping in the imperial concubine's bed... made her shudder. It's just a matter of seizing power for some profit, it's not a matter of stealing her mother-in-law. In her heart, she sympathizes with Liu Wanxi's suffering in the past ten years, and she can tolerate it if she falls into the arms of another man. What’s really scary is that this means that if Xue Mu wants to kill the king, it’s just a matter of medicine...

She didn't know how to characterize this kind of thing, at least when it came to her canonization alone, Xue Mu was doing it for her own good, and he even didn't hesitate to expose his secrets for it.

My emotions are too complicated in all aspects. It would be best if I could get drunk and not ask about everything...

But it's hard for her to get drunk. After practicing to this point, even if she doesn't need any skill to suppress it, the strength of her body and soul is there. How easy is it to be drugged by alcohol?

She toasted to all the officials one by one. It didn't take long for her to drink more than a hundred cups. She was slightly tipsy, but more sober.

People just thought she was happy...

Except for Xia Houdi, who was active everywhere in the room and seemed to have a lively atmosphere, Ji Wuli and Ji Wuyou were both silent, with no sign of hosting at all. Xiahou Dijing completed a full circle and looked back. The two brothers faced each other in silence. She strode towards the main seat and poured wine for her two brothers: "Be lively, what's the virtue?"

Ji Wuli ignored her, and Ji Wuyou sighed: "Drink less."

Xia Houdi drank two glasses of wine and said with a smile, "I'm happy."

Ji Wuyou shook his head, drank with her, and said, "It's very difficult for you to get drunk. In fact, it's pointless."

Xia Houdi glared and said, "You look disgusting."

Ji Wuyou said, "You can go out and relax."

Xia Houdi was startled, then stroking his hands and said: "That's right, I can go to the inner palace now. I'll go pay respect to the ladies."

Ji Wuyou stopped talking and shook his head: "It's up to you."

Seeing Xia Houdi striding away, Ji Wuyou watched her disappear. She looked down at the amber liquid in the wine glass. There was an unspeakable ferocity in her usually calm and steady eyes.

After a long pause, he suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu, you have a good drinker, can you help me with a few more toasts?"

Ji Wuxing didn't refuse. He stood up and said with a smile, "Don't blame me for shouting and grabbing people to drink. It's not appropriate."

Ji Wuyou smiled but did not express his position.

Ji Wuxing ignored him, picked up the big wine pot, and went to Su Duancheng: "Su Xiang! You have worked hard these years! Let's have a drink!"

Su Duancheng drank with him helplessly.

Speaking of which, Ji Wuxing and Xia Houdi are quite similar. Others are served by palace maids, drinking from small cups and quietly. Only this pair of brothers and sisters are running around carrying large wine bottles, and there is no trace of the solemnity of a state banquet. . However, Xia Houdi makes people feel that he is heroic and crisp. What Ji Wuxing makes people feel is that he has a strong bandit spirit, and he brings the atmosphere of a state banquet into a template for drinking from a big bowl in a bandit's den.

Ji Wuyou looked at it and smiled slightly, then turned to Ji Wuli: "One of our brothers?"

Ji Wuli said coldly: "I don't want to drink with a hypocrite."

Ji Wuyou was not angry, but his words seemed to indicate something: "It doesn't matter if you don't drink with me. If Lao Jiu comes to visit, I hope the second brother can handle it."

…

Xia Houdi entered the inner palace. Not only was there no one to stop him, but he saluted and led the way: "Princess, are you going to the inner banquet?"

The cold wind blew through the palace, and Xia Houdi was a little drunk. He staggered a little, patted the inner guard on the shoulder and said: "Take me to see whose female family members are the most beautiful!"

The inner guard smiled apologetically and said: "Of course no one can compare to the princess. The princess is the most beautiful choice in the country."

Xia Houdi laughed: "Where did you put your mother and concubine?"

The inner guard smiled and said: "The imperial concubine belongs only to Your Majesty."

Xia Houdi curled his lips and stepped inside. After a while, he saw bright lights, palace maids and eunuchs coming and going, and vaguely heard laughter inside. It was peaceful.

Nice atmosphere? When Xia Houdi walked to the door, the first thing he saw was Liu Wanxi presiding over the banquet in a dignified manner. The scene was solemn but lively, harmonious and orderly, the ladies were talking and laughing happily, and the whole court was filled with fragrance.

Xue Mu was beside Liu Wanxi, wearing a eunuch's outfit, well, it fit him very well.

She appeared outside the door, and the first one she noticed was Xue Mu.

He had always guessed that Xia Houdi would come, and his mind always wandered to the door. Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, she appeared.

Xue Mu quietly exited the back door and walked around to the side corridor.

Xia Houdi was not very smart for a moment, thinking that this guy was going to run away, so he took great strides to chase after him. Xue Mu arrived at the pillar in the corridor and stopped to look. Xia Houdi seemed not to have expected him to stop. He stumbled twice and fell on him.

Xue Mu stretched out his hand to help him, but Xia Houdi stretched out his hand to push him in front of his chest, pushed him against the pillar, grabbed his collar and said, "Eunuch Xue, are you okay?"

The smell of alcohol wafted from her body, but it wasn't the stench of being drunk. Instead, it was a mellow fragrance that hit her face, mixed with her own fragrance. It smelled good and made her feel warm and tipsy. But the force was so heavy that Xue Mu's back ached from being pushed by her. He could feel that the volcano she was pressing was about to erupt at any time.

"Why did you drink so much?"

"Do you care? As a guest in my mother's bed, do you think you are my father?"

"If I were your father, your title of princess would not wait until today."

"Should I still thank you for the canonization?" Xia Houdi said angrily: "You are just pretending! I am still a fake who has deceived everyone in the world!"

"The bloodline is real, what is fake?" Xue Mu said lightly: "Now the ministers have made it clear and the world has spread, even if Ji Qingyuan can recover in three years, he will no longer be able to deny this imperial edict. This is a foregone conclusion."

"Ha..." Xia Houdi looked a little unsteady, with almost her whole body pressed against him, looking at his face very close at hand: "From what you say, it seems that you have thought about letting him recover?"

Xue Muran replied dully: "I don't want him to recover, but I do hope he lives well. Your brothers may not have the same kindness as me."

Xia Houdi narrowed his eyes.

Xue Mu asked again: "Do you want to expose me?"

Xiahoudi was silent. Xue Mu was exposed for her canonization, was it exposed? Can it be done?

"I can't control too many things. Today's government cannot get things done just by tampering with edicts, but I would like to maintain the status quo. Instead, you have to pay attention. I have been competing with someone for a long time. This is He is a poisonous snake that will kill his father and his brother. Even if you want to expose me, please cooperate with me for a while. When this person is exposed, you and I can solve our problems."

Xia Houdi's hand holding his collar slowly lost strength, and the weight of her body was supported more on his chest, and she murmured: "What do you want to do to the noble concubine?"

"Wanxi has been suffering for more than ten years, don't blame her..."

"I don't blame her! I'm just asking you!"

"If your father dies and a certain prince comes to power, I will take Wanxi away."

"what about me?"

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment.

Xia Houdi said loudly: "You pushed me to become a princess with your own hands! Can you take it away too? Do you want to ignore it if you bite me, you bastard!"
