The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

"grandmother!"

Li Shu turned around and called out, then bowed to Xiao Wanrong, who had come with Yin Wanyu, and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Empress Dowager."

Xiao Wanrong smiled and raised her hand to gesture behind Li Shuping. She continued, "Given their temperaments, I'm afraid they'll still be bickering like this every time they meet even when they're old. It's a good thing Fei'er will be marrying Feng Lan soon, otherwise the Crown Princess would never have the upper hand against them."

In response, Murong Yunchu said, "Grandmother, you underestimate Li Shu. She's very sharp-tongued! I can't get the upper hand with her alone!"

After finishing, he gave Li Shu a meaningful look.

Li Shu had no choice but to follow suit, "It's the same for us."

"Alright, today is the last time we'll all get together before the New Year, so let's all take our seats."

After Xiao Wanrong said this, Murong Yunchu immediately followed Yin Hengyou to sit down.

Li Shu originally wanted to sit with Yin Wanyu.

But just as she was about to speak, she saw two handsome men who looked about the same as Yin Wanyu and were around twenty years old.

Although she was very surprised that the old lady actually brought her male lover to the banquet, she did not show any surprise on her face.

After watching Yin Wanyu lead the two of them to sit down, she walked towards where Ning Jin and the others were.

As soon as she sat down, she heard Xu Daijun whisper, "Jin'er! The party hasn't even started yet, and you've already drunk so much. You're going to be drunk soon. Stop drinking."

But Ning Jin ignored him and continued drinking one cup after another.

Xu Daijun sighed and turned to Ning Shuyang, "My Lord! You should also talk about Jin'er! If he gets drunk in an occasion like today and makes a fool of himself, it will be terrible!"

Ning Shuyang just frowned and looked at Ning Jin.

Jin'er is a little abnormal today.

Since Li Shu came in, he hasn't even looked at Li Shu.

But it didn't seem like he had let go of Li Shu. Instead, it seemed like he had been stimulated by something even more...

But as far as he knew, nothing major had happened recently...

Ning Shuyang was puzzled.

Subconsciously, I started drinking one cup after another.

Calling Xu Daijun is extremely tiring.

This father and son are truly her enemies!

No one listens to her!

But she never expected that after the banquet started, Ning Jin would take the initiative to stand up and say he wanted to dance with a sword to liven up the atmosphere.

Li Shu didn't expect this either.

I couldn't help but look at Ning Jin.

Ning Jin's face had turned red from drinking.

Even though she knew how good Ning Jin's alcohol tolerance was.

But when people are in a bad mood, they can easily get drunk no matter how good their alcohol tolerance is.

While she was wondering if Ning Jin was drunk and wanted to act crazy, her superior Yin Su had already sent the sword to Ning Jin.

Ning Jin's swordsmanship is top-notch.

He is also very good at sword dancing.

I have danced for her many times in the past.

She likes watching it too.

I am delighted every time I watch it.

But when she looked at it again today, her mind was filled with the scene when he danced with the sword for Xie Yu, and the scene when he danced with the sword for Xie Yu in her dream.

Naturally, I lost the mood to appreciate it.

As she lowered her head and concentrated on the food in front of her, a cry of surprise suddenly rang out.

She looked up and saw that everyone was looking at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu's face had turned pale with fright, and he was looking at Ning Jin with disbelief and hurt eyes.

When she followed Xie Yu's gaze and looked at Ning Jin, Ning Jin staggered and said, "My hand slipped. I'm going to go out and sober up."

Is this the sword in Ning Jin's hand flying towards Xie Yu?

Almost hurt Xie Yu?

Could it be that Ning Jin volunteered to dance with a sword to liven up the atmosphere just for this?

But what does he want to do?

Kill Xie Yu?

From his point of view, Xie Yu had saved his life after all, so it was impossible for him to have any murderous intention towards Xie Yu!

Li Shu thought to herself and frowned.

Xie Yu suddenly cried out in front of everyone, "Daddy, my stomach hurts so much, my child..."

Li Yunzhi quickly stood up and rushed to the head, saying, "Your Majesty, please allow me to take Yu'er to the side hall to be treated by the imperial physician."

Yin Su nodded and asked Eunuch Yuan to summon the imperial physician.

When Li Yunzhi carried Xie Yu out of the main hall, Li Shu discovered that the four brothers including Li Jin were all sitting there without moving.

After a long while, Li Jin took the lead and stood up and followed out, and the remaining three people stood up and left one after another.

Then the dancers and musicians came to add to the fun, and some discussions gradually began to be heard around.

"Prince Ning said his hand slipped, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it! With Ning Jin's swordsmanship, even if he was drunk, it's impossible for him to throw the sword out by mistake. What's more, the sword was heading straight for Xie Yu. It was obviously done on purpose!"

"But Xie Yu is Ning Jin's savior after all. Even if she used some tricks to make Ning Jin alienate his wife, Ning Jin's personality wouldn't allow him to kill her!"

"Well, even if I wanted to kill him, I couldn't do it in an occasion like today!"

"So this really was a slip of the hand?"

"..."

Li Shu listened for a long time, and when she came to her senses, she found that Xu Daijun and his wife had left the table at some point.

Just when she was about to overeat, Yin Feier ran over and sat down at Ning Jin's seat. "Sister A-li, shall we go out for some fresh air?"

Li Shu thought about it and was about to nod when a voice suddenly sounded.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the wife of Prince Ning's zither skills were taught by the Empress herself. I dare not trouble the Empress to play the zither to entertain everyone. Why not let the wife of Prince Ning play a piece instead?"

"..."

Li Shu subconsciously frowned and looked at Lin Qi.

Facing Lin Qi's charming and seductive smile, she had a hunch that Lin Qi had no good intentions.

Yin Su's voice was then heard, "During the years that Li Shu lived in the palace, she didn't learn much else, but under the Queen's guidance, she mastered the hand zither to perfection. I haven't heard Li Shu play the zither for a long time. Since my beloved concubine wants to listen, Yuanbao, go get the zither."

Then, Yin Su looked at Li Shu and said, "The Qi Concubine loves to listen to the song of Feng Qiu Huang. Please play the song of Feng Qiu Huang."

Phoenix seeking phoenix oh...

As Li Shu stood up, she glanced at the queen inadvertently.

I saw that the queen's face looked a little bad.

For this reason, she was too lazy to think of an excuse to refuse.

First of all, the current queen may not help her.

Secondly, if playing a piece of music could cause a quarrel between the current empress and the emperor, she would not be at a disadvantage.

Thirdly, she also wanted to find out what Lin Qi was planning.

Could it be that he tampered with the strings, causing her hand to be injured and poisoned?

However, while she was thinking this in her mind, there was no problem with the strings when she played the piano afterwards, and there was no problem with herself either.

However, she was vaguely aware of a burning gaze that had been fixed on her since she started playing the piano.

Say sticky...

Because that look made her feel uncomfortable...

And the person sitting in the direction of that gaze was Prince Heng'an, with whom she had never had any interaction before...
