The singing, dancing and music became lively again.

The Empress Dowager Bao kept holding the emperor's hand, watching the song and dance performance with a loving smile on her face.

Feng Boyang, on the other hand, hugged Xie Yuan's arm affectionately, watched the singing and dancing in the field, and made comments from time to time.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager Bao glanced at Xie Yuan again, and said to the emperor with displeasure:

"That General Xie, I don't know who she is dissatisfied with. Look at her stinky face. She has a good Chinese New Year, and I don't know who to show it to."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ulei raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Yuan. Seeing Xie Yuan's expressionless and cold face, he was indeed not gentle, but it was not a show of face either, so he smiled slightly and explained for her:
"She is a person who leads soldiers to fight. How can her smiling face shock people? It's just a habit, not any dissatisfaction."

The Empress Dowager Bao curled her lips, gave Xie Yuan another white look, and said:

"I don't believe it. Your Majesty is not like her. Didn't he still shock the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty? I have also met many other people who fought in war. People should smile as they should, and they should be fierce. It's fierce, whoever looks like her, like someone owes her some money!"

The emperor smiled tenderly, and then shouted at Xie Yuan:

"General Xie, come on, quickly toast the Empress Dowager Bao."

When Xie Yuan heard about it, Danfeng turned her eyes and glanced at the Empress Dowager Bao, then grabbed the wine glass that was already filled on the case table, got up, walked to the Empress Dowager Bao, bowed respectfully, and raised the wine glass over On the forehead, said bluntly:

"Empress Bao, I wish you good health and a long life."

She is from the Xie family, no matter how naughty she is, these etiquette rules are taught strictly, neither humble nor overbearing, impeccable.

Coupled with the fact that her every move always reveals a smooth beauty, this toast is even more pleasing to the eye.

The Empress Dowager Bao had nothing to say, and reluctantly picked up her wine glass, took a sip, and put it back.

But when he raised his eyes, he saw that Xie Yuan was holding the wine glass still, his face became serious again, and he asked:
"Why don't you drink?"

Xie Yuan hesitated for a moment, but said honestly:

"I can't drink, I don't have the capacity for alcohol."

"I don't care if you have the capacity to drink or not, so what if you have a drink? I think you did it on purpose. Did you hold a grudge because of what happened on the street that day? You hurt a lot of me, and I didn't even settle the score with you. In front of His Majesty, you still dare to show off with me, I think you just don’t take His Majesty seriously!”

When Xie Yuan heard about it, he raised his eyebrows and looked straight at her. His brows were blunt, but also very frank, and said:

"Queen Bao, I won't remember anything after a drink. Maybe I'll beat someone when I'm drunk."

The Empress Dowager Bao was frightened by Xie Yuan's sharp eyebrows, especially when Xie Yuan beat a group of people by himself that day, she was also very afraid, so she choked up and looked at her without speaking.

Emperor Ulei didn't know that Xie Yuan didn't drink, and didn't know whether what she said was true or false, and he was afraid that he would be too partial to Xie Yuan and offend the Empress Dowager Bao, so he didn't say anything.

The scene was awkward for a while.

At this time, Shen Liuzhen stood up from his seat, held his glass and walked to Xie Yuan's side, bowed and said:

"Queen Mother, the younger generation testifies that she is indeed so. A Yuan is very powerful, and it will be terrible if he plays drunk crazy, and it will spoil everyone's happiness. How about this, I will drink this glass for her."

Ulay was a little surprised, and blurted out:
"Aren't you allowed to drink too?"

Shen Liuzhen replied with a smile:

"Yeah, I'm going to sleep after drinking, and I'm not good at drinking, but it's better than Ah Yuan hitting someone when he's drunk."

As he spoke, he stood up straight, raised his sleeve to half cover his mouth, raised his neck, and drank the wine in the glass in a very chic posture.

After finishing the drink, he gently touched the wine stain on his lips with the back of his hand, turned his wrist, and showed the empty wine glass to the Empress Dowager Bao, smiling sweetly.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face with your hand.Especially for such a good-looking person who smiles at you with such a good attitude, if this slap continues, it will be unjustifiable no matter what.

So the Empress Dowager Bao stopped worrying about it, and turned her head to Emperor Wu Lei with a smile and said:

"Oh, the child Liuzhen just looks so distressed, and it makes people happy just looking at him."

The emperor also laughed when he heard this, and said:

"Who said it wasn't."

Then he winked at Xie Yuan and the others calmly and told them to go down.

Just as Xie Yuan turned around, he heard Empress Dowager Bao say to the emperor:

"You have such a good relationship with him. How about a marriage? Marry one of your younger sisters to him. Wouldn't it be better for you to get closer? The children born in the future will definitely look better."

Xie Yuan heard that his body froze, turned sideways and looked over, frowning slightly.

At this time, Emperor Ulay said very firmly:

"Oh, Mom, you don't understand. He is a student of Xie's family. He has been greatly favored by Xie Yun. Xie Yun's daughter made a baby marriage with him, and it also means to let him take on the responsibility of inheriting the Xie family's lintel. And , The two of them have such a good relationship.

If I force demolition, I will be a jerk both emotionally and rationally, how can this work? "

Xie Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: She almost forgot again that Wu Lei is a sensible and assertive emperor, not the soft-hearted little emperor of the Song Dynasty.Otherwise, as a courtier, he will be tired and angry.

"Ah... can't you?" The Empress Dowager Bao asked in disappointment.

"No, no..." Ulay waved his hands and said with a gentle smile.

"Oh...that's a pity." The Empress Dowager Bao turned her head to look at the performance in the arena, with a very disappointed expression.

Wu Lei's eyes flickered for a moment, and he felt that he had offended her again, and he couldn't bear it, so he thought, wait until he rewards something else to make up for her.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other, and Shen Liuzhen smiled at her comfortingly, as if everything was in his expectation, the two separated again and returned to their original positions.

Empress Feng Boyang saw Xie Yuan sitting over, she put down the wine glass she was drinking, smiled and watched the song and dance performance, and whispered to Xie Yuan:
"Don't worry, how could she let her talk about the east and the west? With me and Shen Shizhong. She is very important to His Majesty, but together with Shen Shizhong, I will always be better than her."

Xie Yuan raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and said:

"Thank you Queen Empress."

After Shen Liuzhen returned to his seat, in order to match his lie that he poured a glass, he put his hand on his forehead, leaned on the desk, and lazily watched the singing and dancing in the field.

The dancers are like birds, dancing happily in the arena, shuttling back and forth, changing formations after a while, making people dazzled.

The amount of alcohol is all exercised. Shen Liuzhen didn't dare to drink because of a guilty conscience. Even if he wasn't really drunk after this cup, looking at the tumbling sleeves in the field and listening to the string music in his ears, he really felt a little drunk. Sleepy.
