Chapter 567
"If the empress has nothing else to do, then the minister's wife will step down first." Meng Ruoqing obviously didn't intend to say anything more to Ximen Yue, when she heard Ximen Yue say nothing, she turned around naturally and wanted to leave.

"Meng Ruoqing, what are you going to do!" Seeing Meng Ruoqing's indifferent attitude, the little maid at the side finally couldn't help asking.

"My aunt's words are very strange. It was obvious that you called me in, but you asked me what I wanted to do?" Meng Ruoqing asked back, curling her lips.

Hearing Meng Ruoqing's words, the little maid was stunned. She glanced at the Jing Huangfei who was beside her, whose face was much cooler, and finally closed her mouth obediently.

No matter from which aspect, it was impossible for her and Meng Ruoqing to get along in harmony, and Murong You's words that night were like a sharp knife, piercing her heart fiercely.

Just as Ximen Yue's thoughts were constantly flowing, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the hall: "The emperor is here!"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help being shocked by this statement, these days, Murong You had been working hard in the Civil War, Ximen Yue thought that he would not attend the Lantern Festival banquet today.

But the fact is that when he came, Ximen Yue couldn't help but look at Meng Ruoqing who was opposite, and she had to assume that Murong You came here for Meng Ruoqing.

Just as she was thinking, Murong You had already come in from the outside. When she saw Meng Ruoqing standing alone opposite Ximen Yue, Murong You frowned subconsciously, and her tone was still calm: "Isn't it time for you to come?"

Ximen Yue put away all her guilty conscience, walked to Murong You's side, and took his arm very naturally: "How could it be, this concubine is just talking ordinary things to Mrs. Wei."

"I have seen the emperor." Meng Ruoqing took a step back, and then bowed slightly to Murong You.

"Stay flat." Murong You cast his eyes on Meng Ruoqing, then quickly turned to another place, and then sat down on the main seat beside him.

Naturally, this gaze did not escape Ximen Yue's eyes who were always paying attention to her. Her complexion was still soft, but her eyes could not help but become a little cold: "Your Majesty, didn't you say you were busy? Why are you here when you are free?"

"After finishing my work, I will come here naturally. Why, is Aifei not welcome?" Murong You turned around and called Ximen Yue in an extremely gentle tone. Not much tenderness.

Meng Ruoqing was not interested in seeing the two of them show off their affection, so she found a reason and retreated from the hall.

After exiting the hall, she lowered her head and looked at a small scarlet spot on her wrist, her brows could not help but frown, it was left when Concubine Jing pulled her wrist just now.

It's just that Meng Ruoqing doesn't know what effect this has, because so far, his body has not experienced any rejection.

Up to now, she can only take one step at a time, but she still doesn't understand Ximen Yue, but it seems that there is no need to target her like this after losing the imperial merchant!
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Lanzhi was not allowed to go in with her, just when she was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, Meng Ruoqing came out from the hall, Lanzhi hurried up to meet her and asked.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry about me." Meng Ruoqing folded her wrists and showed a comforting smile to Lanzhi.

Seeing that Meng Ruoqing really seemed to have no problem, Lanzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, madam, let's go."

Meng Ruoqing responded, let Lan Zhi support her, sat down in a corner of the courtyard, waited until the banquet started, and then the two followed the crowd to the banquet hall.

Everyone sat down one after another, the maid beside Ximen Yue waved outwards, and the singers entered the arena one after another, dancing the most beautiful dance in the hall, and the drinks and delicacies were also served on the table.

Meng Ruoqing waved the wine glass slightly in her hand, but she didn't drink it, looking at the scene of singing and dancing in front of him reminded him of the soldiers who were still fighting with Beiman.

This made Meng Ruoqing suddenly feel like a businesswoman who doesn't know the hatred of subjugated country, and still sings about flowers in the backyard across the river. She sighed slightly, and finally put the cup down again.

Ximen Yue suddenly raised her glass and gestured towards Meng Ruoqing: "Madam Wei, how about this toast to you?"

The imperial concubine took the initiative to toast, in the eyes of others, it was a supreme honor, and after knowing the relationship between Ximen Yue and the Li family, she felt it was understandable.

However, to Meng Ruoqing, Ximen Yue's glass of wine was a bit strange. She looked at her glass, finally raised it up, gestured to Ximen Yue, and drank the wine in the glass.

After making this headline, someone came to toast Meng Ruoqing again, and there was no lack of flattery in it. Now in the capital, there is Empress Jing, and there is no other woman whose status is more noble than Meng Ruoqing.

After drinking the wine offered by Ximen Yue, she was a little embarrassed to refuse the wine offered by others. Fortunately, Meng Ruoqing was a good drinker, so she simply refused to refuse anyone who came. been drinking.

Soon, Meng Ruoqing's complexion became a little flushed, and Meng Ruoqing was also sensitively aware of the changes in her body. She subconsciously tugged at the neckline, and her eyes became a little distracted, obviously a little drunk.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Lan Zhi who was at the side was a little worried, she walked to Meng Ruoqing's side and asked in a low voice.

"I'm fine." Meng Ruoqing stood up and walked out with Lanzhi's support. She was very stuffy and had to go outside to get some air.

Murong You's gaze has been focused on Meng Ruoqing. Seeing Meng Ruoqing walking out, she immediately wanted to stand up, but was pulled back by Concubine Jing who was sitting beside her: "Looking at Mrs. Wei's appearance, she seems a little drunk. It’s over, go and have a look quickly, don’t get lost.”

"Yes!" After the maid at the side responded, she hurriedly retreated, but Murong You's stern gaze had already landed on Ximen Yue: "What tricks are you playing again!"

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood my concubine this time, but my concubine didn't do anything!" Ximen Yue gave a speech innocently, raised her glass and said to Murong You: "Your Majesty, this concubine respects you."

"It's best not to let me know that you are playing tricks, otherwise, I will definitely not reply and let you go, understand?" Murong You's voice was cold, and his eyes were like a gloomy wolf, locking him tightly Ximen Yue seemed to lock on the prey.

Ximen Yue's body couldn't help trembling slightly, and then she continued: "Your Majesty, you really think highly of your concubines!"
