The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 24: The Ministers Are Drunk

After everyone finished congratulating each other, they happily savored the food, one slurping a glass of wine, another munching on a bite of food, eating until they were completely lost in thought.

After swallowing a mouthful of braised beef in soy sauce, Prince Guang wiped the oil off his mouth with a handkerchief and said to Zixuan with a big smile on his face, "Sister Xuan, I want to ask you something."

Zixuan took a sip of his drink, glanced at him and asked, "Brother Guang, what's the matter?"

"Sister Xuan, this is what happened. Last night, Lü Qi, the inner guard, came to me to complain, saying that Sister Xuan had given him twenty lashes of the cane."

"I don't know what's going on, so I'd like to ask my sister for some clarification."

After hearing this, Zixuan's face suddenly flushed with anger: "Humph! This Lu Qi has contradicted me so many times!"

"That day, this princess wanted to renovate the dining hall and ordered him to relocate all the staff here to work in the dining hall at the back."

"Not only did Lu Qi disobey my orders, he even insulted me. My sister was furious and gave him twenty beatings with the cane!"

Crown Prince Jiang Guang and all the ministers cheered in unison: "Well done! Well done!"

Jiang Guang said angrily again: "Sister, you are showing mercy. If it was me, I would definitely give him a hundred beatings!"

Immediately, everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, that's right!"

"Sister, if anyone dares to bully you again, be sure to tell me, and I will definitely stand up for you!"

Zixuan looked at the big boy and felt a little touched.

Then the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a gentle smile: "Thank you, brother Guang. With you protecting me, I will be safe."

Jiang Guang was flattered and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, sister, it's settled!"

Okay, Zixuan responded while picking up a small piece of cake for him: "Brother Guang, come and try this small cake."

Jiang Guang took the cake, took a small bite and chewed it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Sister, it's delicious, crispy, soft, sweet and delicious, it melts in your mouth, it's so delicious!"

Instantly, he felt a taste he had never experienced before rushing into his stomach buds.

So, he took another bite and started chewing with a happy look on his face.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed and everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.

Crown Prince Jiang Guang stroked his bulging belly and burped with satisfaction.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said to Zixuan, "Sister Xuan, Guang, I have a request. While I'm back in the city, could you please come to the imperial kitchen every day for dinner?"

Zixuan smiled softly: "Sure, no problem."

After saying that, he muttered to himself: This kid is such a greedy little cat, haha, quite interesting.

At this moment, the guard commander Ji You walked gently to her side and saluted.

Then he whispered, "Your Majesty, the ministers are all drunk, and many have slipped under the table."

Zixuan's expression changed slightly after hearing this: "Have you checked everything? There's no danger to his life, right?"

"Everything has been checked and there's no danger to his life. He just fell asleep."

She nodded gently and waved to Jiyou: "Well, let's go and take a look."

After Zixuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards another restaurant.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they all followed out.

As soon as we entered the restaurant, we smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.

The ministers were all drunk and some were even sleeping soundly under the table.

Some of them sat on the ground and grinned foolishly, while others bent over and vomited in the corner.

Some of those who did not fall to the ground sat at the table and stared blankly at the restaurant.

Zixuan covered his mouth and nose in disgust, thinking to himself: Oh, I was careless. The ministers will definitely get drunk because it’s their first time drinking such strong liquor.

I must remind them tomorrow not to let a few of them die from drinking, otherwise it would be a waste of time and effort.

She looked at the table again, and fortunately, all the food on the table had been eaten up.

These people were afraid of having their salaries fined, so no one dared to disobey the king's order.

Zixuan nodded in satisfaction. Then he said to Jiyou, "Let them sleep. When they wake up, tell them. Anyone who gets drunk again tomorrow will still be punished with a year's service!"

After saying that, he hurried out. Everyone else also covered their mouths and noses as they left the restaurant.

Zixuan changed to another single room and ordered someone to serve tea.

After everyone sat down, they drank tea and chatted happily.

After the tea was served, everyone stood up and said goodbye and left the dining hall.

Zixuan and the queen also returned to their own bedrooms.

Zixuan stood in front of the dressing mirror excitedly, looking at his clothes, feeling extremely excited.

I couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, hahahahahaha..."

"Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan, I never thought that you would travel through time and become the king."

"This fiefdom of Guicheng is equivalent to the area of ​​a small country. My goodness, will your harem also have 3,000 handsome men in the future?"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha, I'm beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... I'm happy, happy, happy..."

She laughed and started singing loudly, dancing as she sang, and almost threw the crown on her head to the ground.

She quickly took it, sat down on the edge of the bed, calmed herself down, coughed lightly, and shouted to the door, "Zi Chi, undress for me!"

Zi Chi and the maids had wanted to come in for a long time. They had been listening outside the door for a long time and suspected that the king was almost going crazy with joy. They couldn't help but feel anxious.

When they heard the king calling them, they quickly pushed the door open and walked in.

The maids bowed gracefully and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Zixuan waved his hand: "Well, stand up and undress immediately."

Yes, yes, the maids agreed and began to take off her makeup.

When everyone saw the dressing mirror in front of them, they covered their mouths in shock. However, they were afraid of death and dared not ask.

Zixuan looked at their expressions and said calmly, "Do you like this kind of mirror?"

The maids nodded repeatedly: "I like it! I like it!"

Zixuan nodded: "Since you like it, I will reward you with one tomorrow."

Ah, the maids all cried out excitedly and fell to their knees: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

Dong dong dong, the sound of kowtows shocked Zixuan so much that he touched his forehead.

Oh my god, it hurts so much, doesn’t it? Zixuan waved his hand again: "Get up!"

Yes, yes, yes, the maids agreed, stood up immediately, and started working again.

After cleaning up, everyone left. Zixuan also entered the space and took a good nap.

An hour later, seeing that it was still early, she went with her maids to burn paper for her father, and then went to the queen's bedroom.

The queen had just gotten up from her lunch break and was drinking tea. Seeing Zixuan come in, she quickly stood up and said, "Xuan'er, you're here? Sit down quickly. You must be tired today. Didn't you take a break?"

"Mother, I just rested. Xuan'er wanted to see if you have any food left. I also brought you two mirrors."

After Zixuan finished speaking, he waved his little hand, and immediately, an ancient-style dressing table and a standing dressing mirror were placed steadily in front of the queen.

The queen was already accustomed to her daughter's behavior. She slowly walked to the dressing mirror and looked at herself in surprise.

She put her beautiful face close to the mirror and looked at it carefully, then stood up straight and looked at herself from front to back.

Then he covered his mouth and laughed foolishly.
