After Bu Yu sent away Prince Yu, the big Buddha, she was obviously not as nervous anymore.

Thanks to her elder sister, it was the first time that she met the nobles in the palace. She heard that the current emperor and His Royal Highness Prince Yu were brothers and looked exactly the same. She didn't know if it was just talk made up by the people.

She turned around to look at the two people at the table. Bu Ji was holding his cheeks with both hands. He seemed to have sobered up a little and actually smiled foolishly at the masked man beside him.

The masked man was really something. He sat upright and listened to her drunken talk with a serious face.

"Sister!"

She shouted with full confidence, walked forward to help Bu Ji up, and said.

"I'll help you to the backyard to sober up."

At the back is the Bu family residence with three entrances and three exits, and in the front is a cloth and clothes shop, which is quite convenient.

Li Ji just stood up and showed no intention of leaving.

Bu Yu saw him staring at Bu Ji, thought for a moment, and said.

"Don't even think about hitting on my elder sister. She's already married."

"If you rely on others for saving you, you will lose the demeanor of a knight."

The eldest sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, so it is possible that this man wants to marry her.

Tell him to give up this idea as soon as possible. If he likes the emperor's concubine, he will have several heads chopped off.

Bu Ji's cheeks flushed. He shook his head, cheered himself up, glanced at the masked man next to him, and smiled with seeming satisfaction.

She reached out and patted Bu Yu's shoulder, then hugged her and said.

"Shhh."

"There's no one else here, so if he wants to marry me, then just do it."

She let go of his hand, looked at Li Ji with an infatuated look on her face, and spoke closer.

"I can't afford to buy a house in the capital for now, so please be my mistress and find a place to live on your own."

After Bu Ji finished speaking, he still looked a little distressed, tears welled up unconsciously, and he looked pitifully at the masked young man in front of him.

What a miserable life! Such a handsome man doesn't even have a place to live as her mistress.

Li Ji's face darkened and his perfect thin lips twitched twice.

What was this woman thinking, making him her mistress?

His face turned cold instantly, and the silver mask seemed to be frozen, embedded in his face motionlessly.

The problem now seems not to be who is the mistress, but that she dares to marry another man!

Bu Ji saw the anger growing in his eyes, so he raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and took the opportunity to touch his strong arms twice without anyone noticing.

Even when she was drunk, she never forgot to take advantage of others.

"Don't worry, I promise I'll see you at least once a week."

"As soon as I have money, I will immediately arrange a house for you, the kind with three entrances and three exits."

Bu Yu was shocked by her words. How could it be like she was reading a book? It was so outrageous.

How could a woman keep a mistress, especially when she is the emperor's concubine?

"Sister, please stop talking."

"Even if you want to keep a concubine, you have to wait until the emperor is gone. When you become the imperial concubine, all others will be executed."

She read that this was written in the storybooks, some concubines, even queen mothers, would secretly keep men.

Maybe this is a rule that people in the palace avoid talking about, no one can say for sure.

Bu Ji hummed deeply and looked at her with admiration.

"If it makes sense, then let's make it clear."

Li Ji gritted his teeth with a clicking sound, and his face under the mask was as black as if it was covered with charcoal ash.

Where is he going?

She really has become very capable. She has a mistress at least once a week, and she goes in and out of the mansion three times. She pretends to be pitiful to him in the palace and refuses to sleep with him, saving her energy to seduce others outside the palace. Does she treat him as a decoration? !

Li Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore and was about to scold this lawless woman.

At this time, a loud and rough male voice came from behind, and a middle-aged man in simple clothes came in with big strides, carrying a wine jug, his face flushed with drunkenness.

"Where's my wine?"

"Dig up the Liuxiang wine I buried in the backyard. Tonight I want to host a banquet for Mr. Liu from the southern suburbs, Mr. Wang from the western suburbs, and Mr. Li from the northern suburbs."

Li Ji looked back at him with a vigilant look in his eyes. He subconsciously grabbed Bu Ji's arm with one hand, and hid the other hand under his sleeve, holding a silver fan.

Bu Yu's face turned pale and he quickly called the waiter over, picked up the half-filled pot of Liuxiang wine on the table and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Quick, add some water and bring it to my dad."

"He tasted something wrong with the wine. If he asks you, you can tell me what you want, but you are not allowed to betray me."

The young man nodded and ran to the backyard with the wine.

It just so happened that the mistress didn't allow the master to drink, and the young lady used this pot of wine to entertain the guests. It would be fine for the master if she added some water to it.

Before Li Ji could speak, Bu Yu pushed Bu Ji into his arms and spoke hurriedly.

"Young man, please take my elder sister to the tea shop outside. I will come to find you later."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the leftovers on the table and quickly went to the backyard. She couldn't let her father see her eldest sister sneaking out of the palace. If her father saw her, her uncle would know about it and her eldest sister would be scolded.

The series of reactions is scary to think about.

Li Ji lowered his eyes and looked at Bu Ji, who was leaning on his arms and was extremely drunk, and led her out of the cloth shop without saying a word.

But he didn't go to the tea shop, but went towards the palace gate.

In the afternoon when the sun was shining brightly, a black cloud suddenly rolled in and covered every corner of the earth tightly. People's sight suddenly changed from colorful oil paintings to black and white ink paintings.

Then a strong wind blew, the branches shook violently, and thunder rumbled.

Li Ji rode on a red-maned horse, straightened his back and held Bu Ji in his arms, letting her lean on his arms.

I felt her shoulders trembling slightly, her eyes half-closed, and her slender long eyelashes trembling in panic like a butterfly's wings.

"Bu Ji."

He suddenly spoke, trying to call her name so that she wouldn't be so scared.

It's just thunder, nothing to be afraid of.

Bu Ji's head moved slightly, and when he was about to open his eyes to look at him, there was another loud thunder in the sky. The rumbling sound was like a building collapsing in an earthquake, and the giant tree was cut in half.

She was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and clutched someone's sleeves tightly with both hands, not caring whether someone was calling her.

Li Ji reined in his horse, looked straight ahead, and his beautiful Adam's apple rolled twice.

The clouds ahead grew darker, and the thunder became louder as we got closer to the palace gates.

He slowly raised his hands, frowned, and covered Bu Ji's ears with his hands.

The thunder did not stop, but the woman on the horse no longer frowned and her shoulders trembled.

Bu Ji didn't know how she fell asleep. She just felt a warm and familiar hand against her ear. Slowly and gently, the surroundings became quiet, and she naturally lost consciousness.

Li Ji only had two hands and could not ride a horse. By the time the thunder stopped, it was already past the time to close the palace gates.

He got off the horse holding Bu Ji and walked into a private inn.

The shopkeeper came up and asked.

"Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"

"Stay at the hotel."

"There just happened to be another room upstairs."

The shopkeeper led the way in front and went up the stairs. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the person he was holding.

The man was wearing a mask and looked cold, with a drunk and unconscious young girl in his arms. If he was a flower thief, he would not dare to let him stay in the hotel.

Li Ji hugged the woman in his arms tighter, looked at the shopkeeper, and said in a deep voice.

"This is my wife."

"We were visiting someone outside and had some drinks. It's going to rain outside, so we'll stay at your place for one night."
