The Emperor's Favorite: The Beauty Disturbs the World

Chapter 197 Undercurrent

Yu Zhen's cheeks were flushed, and she said with a smile: "Gu Ye is going to see the Empress's sister-in-law and their Wen Dou, and you are here to have a drink with Brother Wu!"

Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, Li Ye said impatiently: "Be less sticky for a while and you won't die!" As he spoke, he stuffed a piece of grass into Xiao Yu's hand, and shouted: "Start!"

The two pulled the dog's tail grass like a saw, and under the action of external forces from both sides, the grass in Xiao Yu's hand snapped in two.

"I lost!" Xiao Yu picked up the wine jar on the table with a wry smile, and drank all the spirits in the jar after a few sips!Because he drank too much, he choked on a few sips of wine, coughed loudly, and the rest of the wine was poured on the white satin robe, in an indescribable embarrassment.

Li Ye was taken aback for a moment, his narrow eyes gradually enlarged, and he looked at the man in front of him who was a bit out of control.Xiao Yu was drunk, and for the first time ever, the gentle and refined man wiped the drink from his mouth with his sleeve, pulled a random grass from his side, and shouted: "Come again!"

"Okay! This king will accompany you!" Li Ye said seriously.

Over there, the empress and the crowd are also fighting fiercely.

Concubine Li took out a Guanyin willow from the flower basket behind her, and said with a smile: "Since the empress has Luo Hansong, my concubine has Guanyin willow!"

"Avalokitesvara is very appropriate to Luohan!" Feng Lu covered her mouth and laughed.

It was the first time for Yun Cairen to participate in such an event, and he was about to show off in front of Li Longji. At this moment, he took out a twin lotus and said with a smile: "Chenqie has a brother twin!"

Liu Meiren glanced at her contemptuously, and shouted: "Stop it! Stop it! This Concubine Li took out Guanyin Willow, you take Bingdilian, this is not the right situation, you will lose!"

Yun Cairen's face darkened, and he said: "In this case, what did Sister Shangguan prepare?"

Liu Meiren proudly took out a twin lotus from behind, swayed and said: "If this twin flower blooms two flowers, one up and one down are called brother twins, one left and one right are called husband and wife twins, look at my branch, it's not Husband and wife with two pedicles, the idea is much better than yours!"

When Yun Cairen saw it, he couldn't help being discouraged. Chang Xi smiled slightly, took out an ordinary lily from the flower basket, and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, there is still a chance!"

Next, Yu Zhaorong, Guo Shunyi, Huangfu Xianyi, Xiao Meiren, Huacairen and Shangguan Cairen competed with each other with flowers they picked. Even Wei Shi and Princess Yuzhen also took their own flowers for fun.

In the end, Concubine Li's Avalokitesvara willow was more suitable for the Queen's Podocarpus, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look, it's my Guanyin Willow that won, or the Empress's Podocarpus!"

The pun made these concubines very nervous, and the queen unconsciously stood up from the ground, waiting for Li Longji's reply.

Li Longji was leaning on the felt blanket in the grass and was excited to see it. Hearing Li Fei's question, he just smiled lightly: "I think everything is fine!"

The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back behind the case.

Concubine Li was a little displeased, but since it was Li Longji who said it, she didn't dare to act out of it, Fenglu smiled, "If the concubine said it, it should be Concubine Li who won!"

"Why!" Princess Yuzhen opened her eyes wide and didn't understand why, and the rest of the people also listened attentively, wanting to know why Fenglu said that.

Feng Lu said: "In this Buddhism, Bodhisattvas are more respected than Arhats. Isn't it true that Concubine Li has won?"

When everyone thought about it, it was really the case, and even Li Longji couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

The queen was about to argue, but there was a loud crash. Everyone was startled and looked for their reputation, but they saw a huge wine jar shattered on the table next to it. He stood up staggeringly, pointed at Li Ye and said, "Your Highness, let's drink again!"

Although Li Ye's handsome face flushed from drinking, he was clearly awake, while Xiao Yu not only staggered, but even his eyes became blurred.

Princess Yuzhen hurriedly got up, held Xiao Yu's arm, and persuaded: "My son-in-law, you are drunk, stop drinking!"

"Get up! I'm not drunk!" Xiao Yu staggered Yuzhen with a flick of his arm, and fell to the ground in surprise. This was the first time that Xiao Yu was so rude to Yuzhen in front of everyone, and he saw Li Longji beside him. He frowned.

Li Ye didn't know what happened today, but he clearly felt that Xiao Yu's expression was wrong. At first, he just laughed and asked him to fight for wine. How could he know that he would not only drink when he lost, but also drink when he won, as if he was borrowing money? It's like drinking away your sorrows, and you can't stop drinking it from jar to jar like this.

Yu Zhen sat on the ground, staring blankly at Xiao Yu, who looked like a madman in front of her, feeling aggrieved in her heart, her eyes turned red, and she was about to cry.

Seeing that the commotion was unbearable, Li Longji felt sorry for Yuzhen and would blame Xiao Yu for a while, so he quickly stood up and persuaded: "This time I'll drink here, if you still want to drink, come to Xue Wang's mansion tomorrow to find me!"

Xiao Yu looked at Li Ye, and said with a smile, "Didn't your Highness come to ask me to drink? How come I got cold feet in the middle of drinking!"

Li Ye said with a smile: "Okay! Okay! This king is a coward, and I admit defeat! Don't drink anymore, okay?"

"No! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return home!" Xiao Yu ignored Yu Zhen who was crying and calling for his son-in-law on the ground, and forced Li Ye to drink.

Li Longji stood up with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "Enough!" His handsome face was full of gloom.

Seeing that he was about to get angry, everyone stepped aside, not daring to say anything, for fear of touching his scales.Seeing this, Chang Xi secretly sweated for Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu seemed at a loss, and squinted at Li Longji, holding the wine jar in his right hand very disrespectfully, staggered a few steps forward, slowly raised his left hand, pointed at the emperor in front of him, and said loudly: "You What qualifications do you have to say about me! You are the one who is least qualified to say about me!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's faces changed, and their hearts trembled involuntarily. The face of Mr. Xiao Qing next to him turned green, and he was so frightened that his legs sifted, and he lifted up his robe and knelt on the ground, trembling like a man in autumn. The fallen yellow leaves shouted "Your Majesty forgive me" in a stack of voices.

Princess Yuzhen walked up to Xiao Yu on her knees, pulled his lapel and cried, "My son-in-law, what are you doing, are you confused! The one in front of you is the third brother!"

Li Longji didn't stop talking, just looked at Xiao Yu gloomily, but said in a surprisingly calm tone: "Shut up all of you and let him continue talking!"

Xiao Yu staggered, walked towards Li Longji, and said, "Why did I say something wrong! You didn't keep your promise, you!"

The tip of her left finger was almost pointing to Li Longji's nose, Chang Xi was secretly worried, how would it end if this went on like this!I'm afraid Li Longji might kill him in a fit of rage!He never drank, what happened today?Could it be the son-in-law? Thinking of this, he no longer cared about his own safety, and whether Li Longji would get angry again. He passed the crowd obliquely from the side, got in front of Li Longji, grabbed Xiao Yu's arm, Wen Yan said: "My son-in-law, you drank too much! You'd better go back home with the princess!"

Xiao Yu, who was delirious from drinking, seemed to recognize Chang Xi, put away his cold and disdainful eyes, the corners of his mouth curved into a soft arc, and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Plop", everyone saw that the wine jar he was holding in his right hand fell to the ground and turned around in a circle, "Chang Xi—" he opened his arms and called softly.

"Be careful, son-in-law!" Seeing that Xiao Yu was about to hug Chang Xi, Mei Er who was beside him seemed to have foreseen how furious Li Longji would be when such a situation happened, so she quickly rushed up from the side. Before hugging Chang Xi, he knocked off Chang Xi's arm in advance, "My son-in-law drank too much, and his footsteps are not steady, princess, let's take the son-in-law back to the mansion to rest first!"

Mei'er put her head under Xiao Yu's armpit and helped him up with her hands, but his arm still stubbornly stretched out towards that person, with force, and stretched forward - only an inch away from touching her frail body, again Caressing her haggard face, but that little distance separated the two of them like an abyss.

He was not willing to let go of his arm, and the weak words whirled in his throat: "Chang Xi!" This call full of affection, helplessness, and sorrow was only heard by Mei Er, her eyes were sore, Almost shed tears.

His hands lowered slowly, his head leaned on his shoulders, and he was still muttering softly to himself. Seeing Li Longji's frosty face, Mei'er trembled subconsciously, for fear that the man beside him would say something in his mouth. Chang Xi's words were heard by the stern emperor.

Chang Xi stepped back silently, getting farther and farther away from his fingertips, and farther and farther away from his miserable eyes. For him and herself, the only way to leave is the best!
"Third brother!" Princess Yuzhen returned to her normal state, and begged on the ground, "The son-in-law is drunk today, please allow Yuzhen to take him back to the mansion, and when he wakes up, he must come to apologize to third brother in person! Sometimes the third brother will be punished and killed, Yuzhen will never complain!"

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the emperor standing on the ground with his hands behind his back, waiting for a reply.

Everyone's eyes were on Li Longji, wanting to see how he would deal with it, but he was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I'm sure!"

"Thank you, third brother!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Princess Yuzhen and Xiao Qing knelt down to thank each other at the same time.

Princess Yuzhen helped Xiao Yu, who was unconscious from drinking, from Meier's hand, and said in a low voice, "Thank you!"

Meier was taken aback, and replied: "Princess, you are welcome!"

Yuzhen and Xiao Qing and the guards of the princess mansion helped Xiao Yu down.

Chang Xi stood at the side and looked at the people who had gone all the way absent-mindedly. Beauty Xiao coughed lightly, brought her back to her thoughts, and said to Li Ye with a smile: "I have heard that Concubine Xiao is not good at drinking, but King Xue insists on drinking with the concubine. Fighting to drink, this has caused a catastrophe! King Xue should really punish himself with a drink!"

Li Ye laughed, and said: "Xiao Meiren is right! This king punishes himself with three cups!"

Li Longji smiled and said: "One cup is enough, after three cups, I'm afraid there will be another person full of nonsense!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed along with Li Ye for a while, sweeping away the embarrassment just now.

Concubine Li smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines have not yet decided the winner!"

"Okay! Let's continue!" Li Longji smiled and sat back in the banquet.

All the ministers and concubines were relieved to see that Li Longji was not angry, and the old scene of interlacing glasses and composing poems and reciting lyrics resumed at the banquet.

Chang Xi was afraid that Li Longji would see his flaws, so he pulled himself together, took out a blue mandala that little Zhao Zi had worked so hard to snatch, and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Li has won a round just now, this time the concubine Take out your housekeeping skills, how about this mandala?"

Yu Zhaorong said with a smile: "My sister has such a rare flower and weed in her possession. She didn't show it just now. It can be seen that she is planning to use it to win us! It seems that my sweet-scented osmanthus will lose again!"

The queen and others also said: "This time I can't compare with Wu Zhaoyi!"
