After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

As dusk fell, Prince Jing was listening to the zither and admiring the stars in the courtyard of his concubine Lin Yao. The zither music was melodious, the Milky Way was brilliant, and he was enjoying a sip of fine wine, feeling extremely content.

"Boom boom boom, boom boom boom."

A rhythmic tapping sound came from the roof, interrupting the music.

"Boom!"

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Fear filled Lin Yao's pretty face as she went to Prince Jing's side and looked up at the roof with him. "Your Highness, what is that?"

She remembered the strange tales she had read before and worried that some demons or monsters might suddenly emerge from the darkness.

King Jing looked up and glanced at Lin Yao, then chuckled and comforted her, "It's just a bird."

His eyes darkened, and he instructed the maid to accompany Lin Yao into the house before turning and leaving.

Pushing open the study door and lighting a candle, Xiao Chang'an saw Yun Ting standing with his hands behind his back in the very center of the study.

After closing the door, Xiao Chang'an walked over and sat down in the armchair, asking unhurriedly, "Is there something you need?"

"When will Your Highness be able to arrange for my entry into the Ministry of War?"

Although Yun Ting's expression remained calm, Xiao Chang'an could sense a hint of impatience in her eyes.

He recalled Xiao Yu's words: once such a person enters officialdom, it's like a dragon entering the river; he might become uncontrollable. How long could he keep such a person by his side?

Yun Ting stared at Xiao Chang'an, her voice icy, "Your Highness, do not forget our deal. If Your Highness is unwilling to abide by it, I can leave at any time."

Xiao Chang'an had long known that he was different from ordinary guards, but he was still unwilling. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Xiao Yu?"

"He already knows."

A single, understated sentence sent a chill down Xiao Chang'an's spine.

Xiao Yu already knew, but he couldn't do anything about it, so naturally he wasn't afraid of this Prince Jing.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chang'an said in a deep voice, "Lord Lin has only just entered the Ministry of War. If he recommends someone too soon, it will arouse the Emperor's suspicion. Please wait a few days."

"How long is 'a few days'?"

"Within half a month."

Having received a clear answer, Yunting didn't linger; he disappeared into the darkness and vanished outside the door.

Looking at the darkness outside, Xiao Chang'an felt a vague unease in his heart.

But then he thought, no matter what, he was just a subject, while he himself would be the ruler in the future.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

The most important thing right now is the children. Getting the Empress and concubines pregnant as soon as possible to please the Emperor is the most crucial thing.

Xiao Chang'an went directly to the main wife's courtyard.

In Furong Pavilion, Su Lingyue finished giving Xiao Yu a massage and came out of the private room, leaving Xiao Yu to soak in the bath by himself.

Feeling a bit hot after exerting herself, Su Lingyue sat down at the table, fanning herself with a jade fan, and drank the cooled tea in one gulp.

At this moment, she thought of the two jars of wine that Xiao Yu had gotten for her earlier that day. They were sweet and delicious fruit wines, perfect for drinking on a hot day like this. Besides, she was in her own room, so even if she drank a couple more glasses, it wouldn't matter.

Thinking of this, Su Lingyue summoned Cai Die and said with bright eyes, "Where did you put the fruit wine I brought back today? Pour me a pot."

Cai Die smiled and went out, quickly bringing back a pot of wine and a white jade cup.

After pouring Su Lingyue a full glass of wine, Cai Die asked, "Would the Princess like two side dishes sent over? I'll have the kitchen prepare them."

After Su Lingyue picked up her wine glass and drank a cup, she waved her hand with a smile, "No need, I'll just have two cups to cool off. You can go now."

Only after hearing that Su Lingyue wouldn't drink too much did Caidie feel relieved enough to leave.

As soon as the butterfly left, Su Lingyue couldn't wait to pour herself another full cup, tilt her head back slightly, and drink it all in one gulp.

After two glasses of fruit wine, the sweetness with a hint of tartness dispelled the heat in my heart.

The wine has the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness; it's a pity there are only two jars. However, these two jars should be enough for her to drink for a few days.

After a few drinks, Su Lingyue felt her cheeks getting warm. However, she hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, and this wine was really to her liking. Su Lingyue shook the wine pot; there was still half a pot left.

She poured herself another glass.

Tomorrow I'll go to Zhao's Trading Company and force the manager to write a letter to Zhao Xingzhou, telling him to hurry up and do the things I've asked him to do, and also to bring back a few jars of wine while he's at it.

That despicable Zhao Xingzhou! He promised to do his best, but he's been out of contact for so long.

What else could she do?

Thinking of Qin Wanning, Su Lingyue felt a glimmer of hope. She would ask Wanning to help her find the Spirit Fire Grass when Wanning returned to the Western Territory a month later. Wanning was definitely more reliable than Zhao Xingzhou.

Thinking this, Su Lingyue felt a little better and tilted her head back to drink the wine in her glass.

Su Lingyue came out of the cubicle, and Xiao Yu soaked for another quarter of an hour as instructed by Doctor Lu. When he came out after getting dressed, he smelled a familiar aroma of wine.

Looking up, I saw Su Lingyue propping her head up with one hand and pouring wine into a cup with the other, but the wine pot was already empty.

Su Lingyue snorted, pouted, and threw the wine pot on the table.

Seeing that the wine pot was about to fall off the table, Xiao Yu walked over, picked it up, placed it in the center of the table, and sat down next to Su Lingyue, resting his chin on his hand as he watched Su Lingyue's drunken state.

Su Lingyue was already somewhat drunk and her eyes were unfocused as she stared ahead. Her soft earlobes and snow-white cheeks were flushed.

Xiao Yu was very glad that he hadn't let her drink too much at the Qin residence.

His queen was indeed extremely beautiful when she was drunk.

"Are you drunk?" Xiao Yu asked with a light laugh.

"No," Su Lingyue replied softly, turning her head to look at the person she was talking to. She couldn't see him clearly, so she leaned closer. The sweet scent of wine mingled with their breaths.

Su Lingyue leaned over and kissed Xiao Yu on the lips, saying with a grin, "You're so handsome."

Tsk tsk! And he claims to have excellent drinking manners!

"Do you recognize me?" Xiao Yu asked in a low, coaxing voice.

Su Lingyue cupped Xiao Yu's face in her hands, her soft fingers caressing his face before placing her fingertips on his lips.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth and took a bite.

Su Lingyue withdrew her finger, her face innocent and carefree, and said with a grin, "You are a prince, only a prince bites people."

Xiao Yusong spoke, with a sneer.

So that's how this little creature recognizes people!

Xiao Yu pinched her little face.

Su Lingyue didn't dodge, laughing as he kneaded and molded her. "What a little wine pot!"

After pinching Su Lingyue's cheek, Xiao Yu helped her back to bed to rest, satisfied. Fortunately, Su Lingyue was light and Xiao Yu could still support her.

As soon as Su Lingyue lay down on the bed, she hummed twice and then slowly stopped moving, letting out soft breathing sounds.

Looking at her charming appearance, Xiao Yu smiled, lowered the gauze curtain, and lay down beside her.

With his eyes closed, Xiao Yu did not fall asleep as usual. The sweet aroma of wine filled the entire gauze tent with Su Lingyue's breath.

He hadn't drunk any wine in a long time. What exactly did the wine from this western region taste like that made this little guy so greedy for it?

He wanted to try it.

Xiao Yu opened his eyes, turned over to face Su Lingyue, and brought his nose close to her to smell the alcohol on her breath.

Their warm breaths mingled as he lowered his head, his slightly cool lips covering the soft ones, and began to gently bite and savor them.

Sure enough, Xiao Yu tasted the wine in Su Lingyue's mouth; it was mellow, sweet, and had a pleasant aftertaste.

Su Lingyue hummed a few times in protest against Xiao Yu's kiss, and pushed his body away with her hands.

Su Lingyue was feeling a bit hot from drinking, but when she touched Xiao Yu's cool body, she became fond of the coolness and forgot to push him away. She moved her body towards Xiao Yu and wrapped her arms and legs around him.

Xiao Yu hugged and kissed Su Lingyue for a long time before letting go of her.

Su Lingyue was panting, but she still nestled her head against his chest, seeking that coolness.

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue in his arms, letting her whine and snuggle into his embrace until they found a comfortable position before she quieted down.

Holding the warm body in his arms, Xiao Yu's body gradually warmed up, and his heart softened completely.

Xiao Yu's fingers accidentally touched the tie of Su Lingyue's inner garment. He paused for a moment, then gently tugged, and the tie came undone, revealing the inner garment.

He skillfully untied the other straps until he had stripped the person in his arms completely naked, then Xiao Yu closed his eyes and held her with satisfaction.

Hearing the steady breathing of the person in his arms, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes again, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.

It's rare to see the little guy so drunk; it would be a shame not to tease him a bit!
