I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Early in the morning, Lu Qingxue informed An Muxi that she would host a banquet for Dai Meng and Li Yian, and also invited Lu Qingfeng, Jiang Siyu, Bai Jingchen, Gu Anyan and others.

Bai Jingchen has always had a good relationship with Lu Qingfeng, and is therefore more familiar with Li Rui. Lu Qingxue thought that it would be more lively with more people, as a way of seeing off Dai Meng and his wife.

An Muxi didn't have any objections. These people were all pretty good and they should be able to become friends.

Dai Meng and Li Yian are leaving tomorrow, and they are really reluctant to let them go.

At noon, An Muxi went to the banquet hall in Lingfeng Pavilion in the front yard which was specially used to entertain guests.

Dai Meng and his wife had already arrived, and Li Rui had also come over. Lu Qingxue was chatting with Dai Meng, while Li Rui and Li Yian were drinking tea on the side.

Dai Meng saw An Muxi and said with a smile: "Xi'er, time flies so fast. We will set off to return to Tianyue Country tomorrow."

An Muxi walked over and hugged Dai Meng gently, feeling reluctant to let her go. Dai Meng was the best friend she had ever met in this era.

Although they had known each other for a short time, they got along very well. Dai Meng was very grateful to her for saving his life.

"Take good care of yourself and His Royal Highness Prince An when you return. You are both my good friends. I am still waiting for you to become the queen in the future and protect me!"

Li Rui, who was holding the teacup, suddenly stopped holding his hand, his fingertips turned white, and then he took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.

Has she still not given up the idea of ​​leaving?

Li Yian glanced at Li Rui, sensing his strangeness, but remained silent. This third brother seemed even more dull than himself. He didn't understand a woman's mind at all.

He had completely forgotten that he was completely led into the sweet trap by Dai Meng, and thought he understood women's hearts very well, but he didn't know that high-end hunters always appear in the form of prey.

Soon, Lu Qingfeng, Jiang Siyu, Bai Jingchen and Gu Anyan all arrived. Lu Qingxue specifically asked her brother to pick up Jiang Siyu today.

She was worried about her brother's lifelong affairs.

After everyone arrived, the dishes were served one after another. Everyone knew each other and had a good relationship. Plus, everyone had a few drinks, so the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Everyone toasted Dai Meng and his wife as a farewell drink, and then Gu Anyan toasted An Muxi with a glass of wine.

"Thank you Madam An for helping me to break up the fight yesterday, but it ended up causing you to fall into the lotus pond. I really feel bad about it.

I'll give you a toast to express my apology and gratitude."

An Muxi picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp. She waved her hand and said, "Don't be so polite. It's no big deal. I just like you. You're much better than that Bai Yueli."

Bai Jingchen next to him was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Dai Meng quickly interrupted him and said, "Xi'er, are you drunk?"

An Muxi still refused to admit it: "How could I be drunk? I have a good alcohol tolerance. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

Lu Qingxue held her forehead with her hand. This woman had a poor alcohol tolerance but still drank several glasses. She said to Bai Jingchen apologetically, "Master Bai, Xi'er can't drink much. Don't mind her talking without restraint after drinking too much."

Bai Jingchen said quickly: "It's okay, I already know what happened yesterday. Don't blame Madam An, it's my sister's fault. She is indeed too arrogant and has done a lot of wrong things.

In fact, I should be the one to apologize to Madam An on behalf of my sister."

Bai Jingchen saw that An Muxi had indeed drunk a little too much, so he picked up the wine glass and said, "Mrs. An, just drink tea instead of wine. I apologize to you on behalf of my sister. I will never let her do such a thing again in the future."

An Muxi picked up the wine glass directly: "Who are you looking down on? You even used tea instead of wine. Let me tell you, your sister is not a good person. She bumped into my carriage the first time we met. If it weren't for the fact that you are a reasonable person, I would not drink this glass of wine to forgive her."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to drink the wine in his hand, but suddenly his hand felt empty. He turned around and saw Li Rui taking the glass and drinking it in one gulp.

"She drank too much, so I drank for her. What happened yesterday is over. But if Bai Yueli does it again, I will never forgive her."

Bai Jingchen was very depressed. He had been cleaning up Bai Yueli's mess since he was a child. After so many years, he finally got to the level of the royal palace.

Li Rui said to Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue, "Send your master back and let her rest early."

He didn't want outsiders to see An Muxi drunk. It was really too tempting.

An Muxi refused to do it and stood directly on the mahogany chair: "Who wants to rest? Today is to see Dai Meng off. I won't leave. Sister Meng, you must be well when you go back. Maybe I will come to find you one day.

It's great that you can all go home. But I can't go back."

After saying this, An Muxi's eyes turned red, and tears suddenly flowed down, which made everyone at the table dumbfounded.

Li Rui quickly picked up An Muxi and left in a hurry.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect An Muxi to be so crazy after drinking.

Li Rui put An Muxi on the bed in his bedroom with mixed feelings. When he heard her say that just now, he felt very panicked and felt like she would leave him at any time.

An Muxi thought that she could never go back to the modern era, and she had no sense of belonging in ancient times. She was like a wandering ghost, homeless.

In addition, I had drunk a little bit of wine and thought that my best friend was about to leave, so I said those words without thinking.

However, Li Rui understood that An Muxi had been away from home for too long and she missed home, so he wondered whether he should arrange for her family to come and accompany her.

An Muxi had a pretty good alcohol tolerance in modern times, but this original body would really get drunk after just one glass of wine. She had just drunk three glasses of wine, and now she felt groggy and very sad. She cried for a while and then fell asleep.

Li Rui looked at the woman on the bed with a complicated expression. He tried hard to calm himself down so that he did not impulsively go over to hug her and comfort her.

Thinking that Princess Wenhua was going to the Western Frontier for marriage, he could just ask for permission to see her off.

The Ice Spirit Snow Lotus was produced in Western Xinjiang, so he could go and look for it. There were only two herbs left. He didn't want to wait any longer.

After helping An Muxi close the quilt, he walked out.

Back in the banquet hall, Dai Meng quickly asked, "How is Xi'er?"

Li Rui said calmly: "She has already fallen asleep. Nothing happened, she just drank a little too much."

Dai Meng still said: "Your Highness Prince Rui, I hope you can take good care of her. You know what I mean."

Li Rui nodded: "Don't worry. I care about her as much as you do!"

Except for Lu Qingxue and Lu Qingfeng who knew the inside story, everyone else was surprised. Did Li Rui actually dote on Madam An so much?

And looking at Lu Qingxue's expression, she doesn't seem jealous at all?

Lu Qingfeng saw the strange atmosphere and quickly held up the wine and said, "Let's all wish the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Prince An a safe journey. If the ladies can't drink, please drink tea instead."

The others agreed and drank the last glass of wine. The banquet was over.

Lu Qingxue still arranged for her brother to send Jiang Siyu off. Gu Anyan and Bai Jingchen left together. Dai Meng said to Lu Qingxue, "Xue'er, come to Tianyue to play with me when you have the chance. I will definitely treat you warmly."

I didn't expect that this sentence would actually come true in the future.

Li Yian said to Li Rui: "Third brother, Xi'er seems to have some unspeakable difficulties in her heart, which is why she lost her composure today. I hope you can treat her well. She is a good woman and deserves your cherishment."

Li Rui nodded and patted Li Yian's shoulder gently: "Take care of yourself when you get to Tianyue, and keep in touch at any time."

Then he took out a black jade plate and handed it to Li Yian.

"Take this. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Baiweizhai in Tianyue Country and show this jade token. Someone will help you."

Li Yian was a little curious, and took the black jade token and saw that there seemed to be a dragon pattern on it. If An Muxi had recognized this jade token at this moment, she would have recognized that it was exactly the same as the one given to her by the ghost-faced man in the hot spring villa.

"Third brother, where is this token from?"

"Shadow Pavilion."

Li Yian was shocked. He didn't expect that the famous Shadow Pavilion of Tiansheng Country belonged to his third brother. He was really touched.

The third brother has exposed all his cards. He is the only one in the royal family who is really worried about his safety. From now on, he will also be his only relative in Tiansheng Kingdom.
