Crazy criticizes Emperor Ji for marrying the regent and becoming more powerful

"Is the Prince Regent sober?"

As soon as Nangong Rui walked in, he looked in the direction of Xia Houqi.

"Your Majesty, I am not drunk." Xia Houqi said very insistently.

"Oh? Really? As long as you're not drunk, you have to stay up late for another hour or two." Nangong Rui looked at Xia Houqi with a smile on his face.

Could it be that he was really drunk?

As soon as Nangong Rui finished speaking, other concubines, princes and the Queen Mother walked into Tianfeng Palace.

Fortunately, Nanxi's Tianfeng Palace has a large main hall that can accommodate so many people.

Tea and snacks had been prepared by Grandma Su long ago, and the whole family sat down, chatting and eating snacks, waiting for the night watchman to remind them that New Year's Eve was over.

"Now that Di Ji and the eldest prince have already found a good match, I wonder if Wan Yue and Zhao Xing have someone they like? If so, tell them and I can grant you a marriage."

Nangong Rui saw that Nan Xi and Nangong Fuyang had already found their homes, and the marriage of the third princess and the fourth princess was about to begin. They were both old and young girls. If they didn't get married, they would become old maids.

"Father, I have a crush on someone, but unfortunately, the someone I love is already engaged."

Nangong Banyue had been unhappy tonight, so when Nangong Rui asked about it, he spoke frankly.

As soon as she said this, everyone present fell silent.

Everyone in the palace knew that the third princess liked the regent, but the regent and the emperor had already made an engagement, so they were destined to be inseparable.

Concubine Lin did not expect that her stupid daughter could say such mindless words on such occasions. She frowned and scolded in a low voice:

"Wang Yue, don't talk nonsense."

"Why should Concubine Lin stop Third Sister? We are all our own people here. There is nothing that we cannot say or hear."

Nan Xi looked at Concubine Lin with a smile and said.

Concubine Lin looked very embarrassed, then she glared at Nangong Wanyue and warned her not to say such inappropriate words again.

The Queen Mother didn't know the twists and turns. When she heard what Nangong Wanyue said, she couldn't help but ask:

"The Ai family has been keeping their doors shut before, but I don't know that Wan Yue already has someone he likes. Who is he?"

"Queen Mother, Wan Yue is young and ignorant. She may not be able to distinguish what liking is. It's just nonsense. There is no need for the Queen Mother to ask." Lin Guifei replied quickly to avoid making the matter more serious.

"If the Ai family remembers correctly, the princes and princesses are all of the same age, and Wan Yue is not young anymore. It's time to talk about marriage. As a mother and concubine, you should also find suitable candidates for your daughter. Yes." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Lin with disapproval.

"Yes, the Queen Mother has taught you that it is my concubine who has neglected her duties. I will definitely start looking for a husband for Wan Yue in the next year."

Hearing what Concubine Lin said, the Queen Mother couldn't say anything else and turned to other topics.

Xia Houqi, who was sitting underneath, kept making small movements with his hands, squeezing Nan Xi's fingers from time to time, and holding her hand from time to time, having a great time.

Even if he wasn't drunk, I'm afraid no one else except Nan Xi would recognize him now.

The group of people sat together to watch the New Year's Eve. When midnight passed, they went back to the palace to rest.

When Nangong Rui saw Xia Houqi acting like this, he knew that he would not be able to leave the palace.

"Fushun, take the regent to the side hall of Chengqian Palace to stay for one night." Nangong Rui glanced at Xia Houqi, who was drunk and hazy, and then said to Eunuch Fu.

"No, I will not go to Chengqian Palace."

When Xia Houqi heard that Nangong Rui said that he would take him to Chengqian Palace to rest, he immediately stood up straight and expressed his objection.

"If you don't go to Chengqian Palace, is it possible that you can still go back to the Regent's Palace like this?" Nangong Rui rolled his eyes at him angrily.

"Right here, with her."

Xia Houqi pointed to the ground, and then pointed at Nan Xi beside him, indicating that he would sleep with Nan Xi and not go anywhere. Nangong Rui was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He stepped forward and pulled Xiahou Qi out of Nan Xi's arms:

"You stand up for me. I now order you and I to return to Chengqian Palace. You are not allowed to stay in Tianfeng Palace and ruin the reputation of Emperor Ji!"

Xiahou Qi saw Nangong Ruidu's order. Although he was a little dizzy, he knew that he could not disobey the emperor's order.

"Then I want Di Ji to send me to Chengqian Palace."

"you"

"Father, it's okay. I just want to see my father and the regent off. I'll return later."

Seeing that her father and future husband were about to quarrel, Nan Xi said quickly.

Nangong Rui saw that his Xiao Xi'er had said this, so he said nothing more.

This kid has a habit of kicking his nose into his face! Only Xiao Xi'er was willing to spoil him. If he asked, he should throw him into the yard to sober up, and then drive him out of the palace!

Nan Xi finally sent the drunk Xia Houqi to Chengqian Palace. She wanted to go back, but Xia Houqi held her tightly and refused to let her go.

"Be good, or if you don't, your father will be angry." Nan Xi whispered in Xia Houqi's ear.

"Is there a reward for being good?" Xia Houqi was very conscious at the moment and knew how to ask Nan Xi for a reward.

Nan Xi even wondered if he was pretending to be drunk. Even though he was like this, he was still thinking about rewards.

But in order to comfort him, Nan Xi had no choice but to agree:

"As long as you go and rest obediently, I will reward you when you wake up."

Xia Houqi heard the words, thought about it carefully, and then said:

"Then you are not allowed to lie to me, otherwise I will..."

"Just what?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows, with a hint of threat in her eyes. ,

"I, the king, am no longer on good terms with you."

Nan Xi laughed out loud, seemingly helpless towards Xia Houqi.

"Okay, I won't lie to you, Eunuch Fu, hurry up and help the regent into the house to rest."

After saying that, Nan Xi quickly sent Xiahou Qi to Eunuch Fu, then turned and left to avoid being entangled by Xiahou Qi again.

The next day, after Xia Houqi woke up from drinking, he recalled the scene last night and covered his face.

He was really drunk last night and acted like that in front of His Majesty. It was really embarrassing.

"Your Majesty is awake. My servants are waiting for you to wash up. Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study." Seeing Xia Houqi wake up, Eunuch Fu quickly handed over a bowl of sobering soup.

Xia Houqi drank the hangover soup, washed up as quickly as possible, and went to the imperial study.

Not surprisingly, Xia Houqi was severely criticized by Nangong Rui, saying that he was not upright.

Xiahou Qi was also criticized by him, and it was already an hour later when he walked out of the imperial study room.

Xia Houqi sighed deeply and warned himself secretly that he would not drink so much again in the future to avoid making drunken gaffes and making people laugh for no reason.

but--

Anyway, he has already been laughed at. He has to go to Di Ji to ask for a reward. He promised himself last night, but he can't give her a chance to deny it.
