The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

A few steps down were the heads of the palaces, including Concubine Hui, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, and Chen Shuyi. As for the other concubines, they were not qualified to attend such an occasion.

Further down are the ministers in the court.

Qi Junyi led the person to a seat and said, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers all expressed their gratitude.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am celebrating with all of you, my dear ministers. There is no need to be restrained."

Qi Junyi held the wine glass and said a few words, then drank it all.

The concubines and ministers hurriedly raised their glasses and drank the wine in them.

The eunuchs at the side sang "Open the banquet".

There was the sound of stringed instruments coming from the corner.

The musicians began to play music.

The hall suddenly became lively.

The wine was osmanthus wine produced in the palace. It was fragrant and delicious. Jiang Lingyue liked it very much, so she drank a glass as well.

Qi Junyi caught a glimpse of her greedy look from the corner of his eye, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more real.

He didn't even know in his previous life that his sweetheart was a little drunkard.

Thinking of the little girl lying on the sickbed, unable to eat, he felt pity for her. He picked up the wine jug and personally filled her cup, saying with a smile, "Today is a festival, you can have a few drinks as much as you want."

Doctor Li had examined her pulse just two days ago and said that the toxins from the Immortal Drunkenness were very well resisted by the Mind-Concentrating Pill.

The antidote is at the last moment.

Thinking that she didn't know how long she would have to be without alcohol after taking the antidote, Jiang Lingyue raised her head and drank the wine in the glass without hesitation.

This time, without waiting for Qi Junyi to pour the wine, she picked up the wine pot and poured it herself, "In that case, Your Majesty, don't worry about how much I drink today, just let me drink to my heart's content."

Qi Junyi raised his eyebrows and was about to give some instructions, but some ministers below toasted him.

Jiang Lingyue lowered her head and glanced. It was Prince Yu.

The late emperor's half-brother and Qi Junyi's cousin.

In terms of bloodline, they are the closest branch of the royal family.

Of course Qi Junyi had to give this face.

With Prince Yu taking the lead, toasts from the ministers continued one after another.

Their wives, in addition to talking to their acquaintances, also spoke to Jiang Lingyue.

They were very unfamiliar with Jiang Lingyue, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who suddenly appeared. Everything they knew came from rumors circulating in the palace.

This brief contact quickly made them discover that this imperial concubine, who was the most favored in the harem, was not as arrogant as the legend said, but seemed to be kind and easy to get along with.

Especially when someone tentatively raised his glass to toast, Jiang Lingyue decisively drank it all.

The desire of the various royal palaces and the wives of ministers to make friends with her, the imperial concubine, was unprecedentedly high.

They are all ladies who are immersed in the inner palace and are good at dancing with long sleeves. When they praise someone, they can make you feel comfortable from the bottom of your heart without realizing it.

As she drank glass after glass of wine, Jiang Lingyue smiled more often. Her pretty face was as rosy as a peach, and her lips were flushed red by the alcohol.

Princess Huayang, who was not far away, watched with sparkling eyes. She raised her glass again and said, "Sister-in-law is truly the most beautiful among all the beauties. Huayang toasts to her again."

This is her third toast.

Jiang Lingyue was already a little tipsy. She pursed her lips, savored the sweetness of the osmanthus wine between her lips and teeth, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as he was about to continue filling the bottle, his hand was grabbed by someone as soon as it touched the wine jug.

After being toasted by the ministers, Qi Junyi asked the palace maid beside him. When she learned that this was the fourth pot, her face turned a little dark.

He glanced at Huayang, who was about to toast again, with a warning look, and said to the girl next to him, "Drink less, you're going to get drunk."

Osmanthus wine is not a strong liquor, but it has a strong aftertaste.

But Jiang Lingyue refused. She said, "I can drink quite well."

She can drink quite well, which she learned during the two years she spent on the farm with Chen Ziqi.

Qi Junyi also thought of the girl who had spent a whole night drinking with a man in a wine cellar, and her already dark face became even darker.

The other party involved was also in the hall at this moment.

Apart from having a few drinks with colleagues, he would drink alone, one cup after another.

On this side, Princess Huayang was warned by her royal brother, and immediately smiled awkwardly, giving up the idea of ​​continuing to toast the beautiful royal sister-in-law.

She looked around and called out to the young man standing nearby, "Chen Zilu, stop drinking alone. How about we have a drink?"

Chen Ziwei lowered his eyes, pretending not to hear, and drank the wine in the glass again.

Princess Huayang hummed and was about to say something, but the gentle sound of stringed instruments suddenly changed into a cheerful and exciting tune.

A line of dancers came out gracefully.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden change of tune and they all looked over.

In the center of the hall, seven or eight dancers formed a circle, wearing cool dance costumes, revealing their slender waists as they swayed slowly, with sleeves flying in their hands, looking very graceful.

The drumbeats sounded, and as the dancers moved, everyone saw that there was another girl surrounded by them in the center. Just a quick glance revealed that she was quite beautiful.

The drumbeats gradually became louder and louder.

The tune becomes more passionate.

At the climax, the dancers in a circle dispersed, and the lead dancer in the middle appeared in a gorgeous dance dress different from the other dancers.

Under the moon surrounded by stars, she looks even more beautiful and extraordinary.

There were already several young men from wealthy families in the hall who were greedy for women and were staring with their eyes wide open.

Jiang Lingyue also blinked.

The 'opponent' she had been waiting for for a long time finally made his appearance.

I remember that this seemed to be the beauty that Concubine Hui had found and presented to her specially for the Mid-Autumn Festival?

In the previous life, the emperor wanted it.

It was also the first title of Baolin, followed by the fifth rank Huiyi.

And in this life...

Jiang Lingyue couldn't help but tilt her head, and the people next to her were also looking at her.

Then, she met the emperor's deep eyes head-on.

Not expecting her to turn her head, Qi Junyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her.

Could it be that he has been looking at her all the time?

Jiang Lingyue's lips twitched as she reminded him, "Please look down."

Don't miss the 'old love' from your previous life.

Hearing this, Qi Junyi looked down.

Just then, when the song ended, the lead dancer Yingying fell to the ground and used her slender hands to remove the veil behind her ears, completely revealing her extremely beautiful face.

She was breathing lightly, revealing her curvy figure under her cool dance skirt. A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead as her breathing rose and fell, making her look even more charming and attractive.

It’s really vivid and colorful.

It was as if she was a fairy who existed specifically to arouse men's desires.

The hall was silent for a moment.

Then, led by Concubine Shu, applause broke out.

Qi Junyi didn't say anything. He stared at it for a few seconds before he seemed to finally remember something. He clenched his hands suddenly, and the jade ring on his thumb shattered into pieces with a "crack".

No one paid attention to this tiny sound amid the noisy applause.

Jiang Lingyue beside him was also completely unaware of this. After giving that reminder, she held the wine glass and continued to drink leisurely.
