A life of ups and downs is pure joy

After three rounds of drinks, Gong Zheshan left early. Before leaving, the old ghost Xue Modao glanced at Ning Sijue again. After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, they saw the number one master of Dayan following the old emperor out of the front hall. Everyone stood up and stayed in place to see him off.

"Is that strange old man the Sixth Brother's master?"

Xiao Qiannan pulled Xiao Fan and asked curiously.

"Ah."

Xiao Fan supported his sister who was a little unsteady and nodded in response.

"No wonder he looks at Sixth Brother with a different look, cold yet with a hint of different emotions."

Xiao Qiannan rubbed his head and continued to mutter.

"Nan'er, your alcohol tolerance is really too low. Drink less next time."

Xiao Fan used all his strength to support Xiao Qiannan, who was already a little unsteady, and complained.

"I'm happy. Brother Fan is here, Second Brother is here, and Sixth Brother is here too. It's just like when we were kids. Back then, the older brothers didn't want to play with us."

Xiao Qiannan said with a smile, squinting her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Fan shook his head helplessly, then helped Xiao Qiannan sit down next to Lin Mo.

"Please, Madam Jia, keep an eye on my little sister and don't let her drink too much."

Lin Mo smiled faintly and nodded.

After Gong Zheshan left, the atmosphere at the banquet was no longer as restrained as before. Gong Heyu and his close friend Ning Sijue began to drink one glass after another.

Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. After the banquet, Gong Heyu should go to Chaoyang Palace to talk with the Queen, so Su Jin is happy to be free and no longer has to worry about the drunken monarch.

After a few drinks, she felt obviously very anxious and excited, and couldn't help but sigh that her alcohol tolerance was too poor.

At this moment, she really wanted to go out and take a breath, so she unconsciously looked at Queen Wei Lan, pointed at her red face, and tilted her head to gesture outside the hall, meaning that she wanted to go out for a walk.

Seeing this, Wei Lan agreed and whispered a few words in Gong Heyu's ear. Then she saw Jun Shang nodded to Su Jin.

Su Jin quickly asked Wan Dong to help her up and whispered.

"This wine is too strong. Come with me and sober up."

As Su Jin walked out of the front hall, the silent Concubine Xian began to smile, and then she glanced slightly at Concubine Gu and Concubine He behind her, and saw that the two of them got up quietly after receiving the order and followed her out of the palace.

The banquet was bustling with noise, and everyone was particularly excited because of the wine. No one noticed who went out and who came in. Everything was still going on so naturally. Gong Kou Shi walked towards Xiao Fan who was sitting opposite her with a wine cup in her hand, praising his accurate archery skills and saying that she would compete with him in the future.

Ning Anruo was drunk and a little dazed at this moment. She subconsciously looked at the woman who had attracted her special attention tonight, but found that she could not find her figure in the crowd, so she rubbed her eyes unconsciously.

"The princess is drunk, you guys should take her back to the palace first."

Gong Kou Shi returned to her seat and took a look at the little Princess Da Sheng beside her, who was almost unable to hold on to her body. She then gave orders to the maids, who knelt down and helped Ning Anruo up. Then they paid their respects to the emperor and the queen together with her, and then left the Chaoyang Palace.

Su Jin and Wan Dong were slowly sobering up in the imperial garden next to the front hall, but for some reason, the wine today was particularly strong, not as mellow as the peach blossom wine and apricot blossom wine she usually drank, and she still felt dizzy.

"oops."

When she reached the corner of the rockery, several women passing by with tea in their hands bumped into Su Jin in their hurried footsteps, and the tea stains spilled all over Su Jin's dress.

"You blind men, you will suffer if you hurt the princess."

Wan Dong quickly squatted down and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the dirty stains on Su Jin's clothes. A row of palace maids who had caused trouble quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The palace maid who spilled the tea on Su Jin bowed her head and kowtowed.

"This servant deserves death. Princess, please move to the side hall of the front hall to tidy up your appearance."

"Everyone, get up. It was so dark that no one saw anything. Be careful next time."

Su Jin was in a very good mood today and was not angry, so she waved to the group of kneeling palace maids, and then let Wan Dong lift her skirt and leave the rockery.

"Princess, there are two side halls ahead. The left hall is where the young prince usually rests, and the right hall is specially set up for the concubines to tidy up their appearance before meeting the monarch."

Wan Dong supported Su Jin, held up the dress that had been prepared early in the morning, and pointed to the side hall closest to them and said.

"Fortunately, I brought an extra set of clothes today, otherwise I would have to go back to Hehuan Palace again."

Wandong said thankfully.

"Wait here, I'll go in and change my dress."

Su Jin glanced around. During these days in the palace, she gradually realized the importance of the neat appearance of the women in the harem. It would be disrespectful to meet the emperor in stained clothes.

Although she felt a little confused, she had to adapt to local customs and could not be arrogant because of her favor, so she took the dress from Wandong's hand and went into the side hall.

Wan Dong knew that the front hall was full of nobles, and he definitely couldn't let anyone know that his master's clothes were dirty, so he kept watch in the courtyard with all his strength.

The cup of wine that Su Jin drank in the front hall had already been replaced by a palace maid without anyone noticing. Concubine Xian Fang Duoduo looked at the empty seat opposite and knew that someone would not be able to watch the sunrise tomorrow morning with a smile.

Wan Dong waited for a long time in the yard but did not see his master come out. He was anxious to knock on the door, but he saw the door was open. He saw the princess gently closed the door and walked quickly from the corridor to the imperial garden with very fast steps.

"county…"

Wan Dong called out hurriedly, then immediately covered his mouth and chased after the woman's back.

In the right hall, Su Jin was lying on the ground with her outer clothes taken off. Seeing that Wan Dong had also walked away, several palace maids stepped forward to help the unconscious woman up, pushed open the door and gently carried the woman to the left hall.

After about an incense stick of time, Empress Xian saw Concubine He walk in and nodded to her.

In the left side hall of the front hall, Su Jin was lying on the bed, drowsy and tossing and turning. She felt like there was a fire in her body that was about to burst out. She was so hot and restless that she pulled open her collar to catch her breath.

The smell of incense in the room increased her uneasiness, but her blood was boiling inexplicably and she didn't know what was going on.

"Late winter, I feel so bad."

Su Jin reached out to lift the bedside curtain, but the boiling excitement in her body made it difficult for her to control her trembling arms, and her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat.

After rolling back and forth on the bed for several times, Su Jin gradually lost consciousness due to the pain in her throat and heart.

In the Yunguang Palace, Empress Xian, Concubine He and Concubine Gu dismissed their attendants and sat down.

"There's a good show tonight."

Lady Gu smiled with joy, then proudly picked up the tea beside her and took a sip.

"Your Majesty, how did you know that our young prince would stay tonight? I thought I would have to find a guard who is not afraid of death."

Lady Gu thought for a moment and then looked at Concubine Xian and asked.

"Our young prince likes beautiful women. This young princess's appearance must not be to his liking. Otherwise, why would she stay in the front hall every day except for the wedding night?"

He Bin spoke in a high-spirited tone, as if she was going to avenge her house arrest tonight.

"You did a great job. I never thought there would be spies from the He family in his house."

Empress Xian picked up a grape with her delicate hand and smiled flatteringly. She seemed very satisfied with what the two women sitting below had done today.

"Has it been taken care of?"

Empress Xian paused and asked again.

"Don't worry, my lady. That kind of medicine is not available anywhere except in the Exotic Divine Continent. If you search, you can only find it in the Chaoyang Palace."

Lady Gu lowered her voice and said.

"Let our Lord see what sisterly love is like. Hahahaha."

After saying this, Lady Gu laughed happily again.
