The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Seeing the Xie family members leaving in embarrassment, the people around them laughed louder than each other.

Xie Yuantang said to everyone, "Thank you for watching the fun here today. I have asked someone to prepare some snacks and fruits. Please take them back and eat them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongqiu and Yanmo had already taken out the cakes and fruits from the mansion.

Everyone was surprised that they could get something while eating melons and watching the show.

Moreover, after a few days, they inexplicably felt that they seemed to be "closer" to the little imperial concubine, and some people even dared to make jokes about her.

"Oh, you're too polite, little princess. Remember to invite us next time you have some gossip!"

"That's right, if the little princess really wants to thank us, there's no need for these fruits and snacks. Just let the Fifth Prince stand out and let us take a few glances. It will be enough to feast our eyes!"

Xie Yuantang's eyes widened: "That won't work! My husband is not someone you can just look at casually!"

Someone raised his hand: "I'll give you money!"

Xie Yuantang: "That's fine!"

Situ Yan: “…”

other people:"……"

Finally, the people at the door dispersed. Xie Yuantang turned around and looked at the people waiting for a free meal. He smiled and said, "Thank you all for your help today. The hot pot party tonight is free. We won't charge you any money!"

Situ Feng rolled her eyes: "We didn't pay for it in the first place, it was put on Sun Fengbi's account."

Sun Fengbi, who had been hiding in the background, said: “…” Really, it’s okay not to remember him.

A group of people entered the prince's mansion. Hongqiu, Yan Feng and others were busy preparing ingredients for hot pot. Situ Ran simply asked his men to help.

Xie Yuantang asked someone to set up the pot in the yard. After all, the weather in May was not cold, so it would be cool to eat this way.

Everyone sat around, and Situ Ran said with a smile, "It seems like you're eating game."

Situ Mo also nodded: "I didn't expect that I didn't go hunting today, but I still felt the fun of picnic."

Xie Yuantang curled his lips: "Humph, I don't like talking to you adults. I can't even tell whether you are praising or insulting me!"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed out loud at her amusement.

There was a cool breeze, mixed with the aroma of spicy food, which made people's mouths water.

Situ Ran suddenly sighed: "We brothers rarely have the opportunity to sit together like this."

Situ Ye had something on his mind. He looked at Situ Yan and said, "Fifth brother, don't you have any wine at home?"

"That's right, it's so unpleasant to have meat but no wine!" Situ Xu also shouted.

Situ Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xie Yuantang, only to see that Xie Yuantang's eyes were full of excitement: "Yes, I forgot, bring the wine!"

Yan Mo brought a few jars of wine and Situ Ye opened two of them.

Just as I filled up the glasses of a few brothers, I saw a small hand coming over with a large bowl.

When I looked up, I met Xie Yuantang's sparkling eyes.

"Fourth brother, please~ give me some!"

Xie Yuantang licked her lips. If they hadn't said anything, she wouldn't have wanted to drink, but when they all drank, her alcohol addiction came back.

Situ Ye raised his eyebrows: "You want to drink?"

"no!"

"do not want!"

Before Xie Yuantang nodded, Situ Mo and Situ Yan spoke at the same time.

Situ Yan frowned and took the bowl from her hand: "Madam, children should not drink alcohol."

Situ Mo raised his hand and pressed down Situ Ye's arm that was holding the wine jar, and said with a smile: "If you really want to drink something, why not let the maid make you some juice."

Xie Yuantang put down his bowl in frustration, his head hanging down: "Alright, alright, who made me a poor kid?"

The nine-year-old little Pa Cai is short and has no wine to drink~

Seeing Xie Yuantang being humiliated, Situ Feng laughed twice as loudly: "Haha, Xie Yuantang, I guess I've finally made you depressed for once, so just stay there and watch us drink!"

Xie Yuantang glared at her resentfully, and Situ Yan beside him glanced at Situ Feng unhappily: "Third sister, you laughed too loudly."

Situ Feng: “…”

Situ Yan looked down at Xie Yuantang, who was losing interest, and coaxed her softly, "I won't drink either. Can I accompany my wife?"

Xie Yuantang blinked, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he slapped the table and stood up and said, "Although I can't drink alcohol, who says that only alcohol can make people drunk?"

She whispered a few words to Hongqiu, and soon Hongqiu came over with a bunch of red peppers.

Xie Yuantang proudly pulled a chili off and said, "Being able to drink is nothing. Do you dare to compete with me in spiciness?"

Situ Mo paused for a moment, and gave in without a second thought: "I'm weak, I can't handle something so strong."

Situ Ran: "...Thanks for the invitation, I decline."

Xie Yuantang turned around and stared at Situ Ye, Situ Xu, and Situ Feng: "You guys are not going to admit defeat too?"

Three people: "..." What does your provocative tone and disdainful look mean?

Situ Feng was the first to get angry: "I'm afraid of you? What a joke! Come on!"

Situ Xu snorted proudly: "I have loved spicy food since I was born."

Situ Ye didn't say anything and directly soaked the peppers in wine.

Xie Yuantang smiled proudly, turned around and handed a pepper to Sun Fengbi: "Grandpa Bi~"

Sun Fengbi said with a bitter face: "I get crazy from eating spicy food."

"It doesn't matter. If you're crazy, I'll make sure someone throws you out."

“……”I dare not eat it anymore.

So the hotpot party was divided into two groups, one group ate and drank calmly, and the other group competed in soaking chili peppers in wine.

Hong Qi, Yan Feng and the others watched this scene with worry, and then all looked at Yan Mo: "Is everything really alright? The little imperial concubine is already at the table!"

Yan Mo looked at Xie Yuantang who stepped onto the table and was pulled back by Situ Yan. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he said uncertainly:

"Is he... okay? The Second and Third Princes are both awake."

The three of them looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

Xie Yuantang held a chili pepper in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand to Situ Feng: "Come on, come on, come again, the fifth leader, six six six..."

Situ Feng put one foot on the chair: "White knife in, red knife out..."

Situ Xu: “…” It’s so shameful, so shameful.

He sighed, silently pried down his sister's legs, and let her sit on the chair.

Situ Ran glanced at Situ Yan, smiled and said to Situ Mo: "Fifth brother is getting better and better now."

Situ Mo also smiled and nodded: "This is a good thing."

The two men looked at each other, Situ Ran raised his glass, and Situ Mo used tea instead of wine, and they clinked their glasses lightly without saying a word.

The night wind is cool and the moon and stars are sparse.

Xie Yuantang and Situ Feng were making a fuss, Situ Yan and Situ Xu were cleaning up, Situ Ye was drinking alone, and Situ Mo and Situ Ran were chatting with smiles.

The laughter and noise continued.

Yet strangely peaceful and warm.

This night, even long after, everyone would think of it from time to time.

I remember the hotpot party that night, and that rare night that could be called a "family gathering."

But happiness is always short-lived.

"bump!"

When everyone was relaxing and enjoying themselves, without any precautions, suddenly, Situ Yan raised his hand and kicked over the chair next to him!

Everyone was stunned.

Situ Ye frowned and said unhappily: "Old Five, what are you doing?"

Situ Xu snorted: "Drink a penalty!"

Situ Ran and Situ Mo, who were sitting opposite, looked at Situ Yan, and their expressions suddenly changed slightly: "It seems... something is wrong!"
