Liu Fanyin paused, looking at the twinkling light in her mother's eyes. She was stunned for a long time, then came to her senses and burst out laughing.
Fang Xu was drunk, holding Liu Fanyin in one hand and Xie Wanzhou in the other. He poured out his words of praise, not as reserved as before.
Liu Fanyin and Xie Wanzhou's faces flushed with her praise. They responded to her words while watching her movements carefully.
After Fang Xu praised the two of them, he moved his eyes to Xie Li.
Seeing his mother staring at him, Xie Li sighed softly and tried to help her up, "Mom, you are drunk."
Fang Xu grabbed the hand he offered, his eyes as bright as a torch.
Xie Li froze on the spot, looking at the hands held by the two of them, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
"Mother……"
"Xie Li."
Fang Xu's expression was extremely serious, which made Xie Li's heart tremble.
"Mother." Xie Li twitched her hand but didn't pull it out, so he had no choice but to follow her and said, "My son is here."
"Xie Li." Fang Xu's eyes were bright, just like the crescent moon in the sky.
She looked at Xie Li like this, with a relaxed expression and a sure tone, "I see all your efforts. In the days to come, I will protect you and help you to achieve great success."
Fang Xu rolled his eyes, "I believe you."
Xie Li froze and stared at Fang Xu without saying a word. He couldn't even tell whether his heart was hotter or his eyes were hotter.
The bright moon shines on the ditch, and the secrets hidden in the young man's heart are revealed and put on the table. At this moment, dreams grow like weeds.
Many years later, Xie Li would still recall the scene back then. His mother was drunk, naive but extremely serious. She did not hide her trust in herself in front of others.
That was also the first time in his life that he was recognized by others.
Seeing Fang Xu getting more and more drunk, Bai Ji and Su Zi worked together to carry the lady back to the room.
After Liu Fanyin took a few bites, he went back to take care of Xie Yinyin, "My younger brothers and sisters eat slowly. Yinyin likes to cry at night, so I'll go first."
"Sister-in-law, walk slowly."
Watching Liu Fanyin walk back to the house, Xie Wanzhou also put down his chopsticks, "Second brother, I'm full, I'm going back to study first."
"Go." Xie Li paused, feeling that he was too indifferent, and added, "Don't be too tired."
"Thank you for your concern, second brother." Xie Wanzhou pursed her lips and smiled, strolling out of Chengyuan.
Only Xie Li and Hu Zhihai Sai's long sail were left on the table.
Xie Li held his chin, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the wine cup on the side, filled it up, and raised the cup towards the bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Early the next morning, Fang Xu had a splitting headache. He just sat up and met the bitter and resentful faces of the two maids.
Fang Xu was startled. When he saw it was Su Zi and Bai Ji, he calmed down a little and pretended to be angry and said, "You two girls, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Su Zi's face fell and she whispered, "Madam, do you still remember what happened last night?"
Fang Xu rubbed his swollen head, shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
"If Madam recalls it, why would Su Zi and I scare you to death?" Bai Ji sighed and sat on the footstool, "I'm afraid I'll scare you to death!"
Fang Xu glared at her, "What's the point? What happened last night?"
Seeing that Madam really couldn't remember it, Su Zi hurriedly told everything that happened yesterday, and at the end he didn't forget to add, "Madam didn't see you yesterday. You praised the Crown Princess so much that your face turned red, and you insisted on being sisters with her! "
Fang Xu was dumbfounded, and after a long while he wailed, "How can I go out to meet people like this!"
Bai Ji put away his shoes and said with a smile, "Yesterday you were very drunk. Miss sent Zhutao to inquire several times. I was afraid that you would become drunk again. The second young master stayed with you in the yard all night. He just returned not long ago."
Fang Xu covered his face and was hesitating whether to stay in the house and not see anyone today when he heard a voice coming from outside the door.
"Madam!" The young man ran into the courtyard and shouted loudly, "Madam, someone in the palace handed me a note!"
"In the palace?" Fang Xu looked surprised and looked up at Su Zi.
Su Zi understood, turned around and left the room. Within a moment, he came back with a piece of paper.
"Madam, I just took a look at it." Su Zi paused and whispered, "It is indeed a gift from the palace. It was sent by someone from the Queen's side, Aunt Chang."
"Queen?" Fang Xu put on his shoes and put on his clothes, "What is my relationship with her?"
"I don't know about this either." Su Zi shook his head, his eyes full of worry, "This news comes suddenly, I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Fang Xu spat out the mouthwash with a calm look on his face, "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. My status is different, can she still challenge me?"
If it doesn't work, there is still that cheap husband who died early to block her.
"Madam is right." Su Zi smiled and pinched the folding book. "This folding book says that you will enter the palace immediately. Madam must take care of things quickly."
Fang Xu straightened the wrinkles on his dress and said calmly, "Let's go now. The boss has an order, how can I dare to neglect it."
The two maids were walking behind. Hearing this, Bai Ji muttered in a low voice, "Su Zi, what do you mean by hugging me to death?"
Su Zi pondered for a moment and replied softly, "Madam, maybe she said... that she is determined to die!"
Bai Ji was startled, with a look of fear on his face, "Is the emperor...is the queen so scary?"
"You two, hurry up!" Fang Xu stood in front and urged, the carriage was already approaching.
The two maids looked at each other and ran over holding up their skirts.
That’s all, just hug him to death!
It is an honor to die with my wife!
Fang Xu stepped onto the carriage, and as soon as he stepped off, a carriage stopped outside the gate of the palace.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a little head poked out from inside. It was a baby face with some baby fat.
The little girl looked up and saw that the four characters "Yongcheng Houfu" were indeed written on the door plaque. She suddenly smiled and said to her back, "Miss, we are here."
There was a soft noise from the carriage, and the little girl jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped someone out from the carriage.
The person who came here had a well-proportioned figure. She was covered in red clothes and tied at the waist, which made her waist as thin as a willow. Her black hair was pulled up high. Her skin was white and flawless. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
"Is this right here?" The woman curled her lips and said softly, "Let's go in and take a look."
Jingyuan
Xie Li held the book and sat down next to the willow tree in the courtyard. After taking the antidote, his appearance had recovered. He was wearing an ivory white gown, a jade-colored wide-sleeved brocade dress, and a jade belt around his waist. He had a pure and pure temperament.
"Who are you... Stop! You're so arrogant! Who allowed you to enter our yard?"
Chang Sail's voice came from far away and came closer. It was not as loud as usual. Instead, it was mixed with panic, which really made people curious.
Xie Li was confused and looked up. At this moment, the door of Jingyuan was pushed open.
