Wei Yanzhou suddenly let out a chuckle.
He made a sound, and everyone's eyes turned to the high-ranking emperor.
Including Wei Yanshu, who was embarrassed and bald while holding a wine glass.
Cheng Ning put down his chopsticks with a smile on his face.
But soon she bit her back molar.
I heard Wei Yanzhou twirling the cup in his hand and saying, "Concubine Xi, come and pour me some wine."
Cheng Ning: "..."
But Wei Yanzhou's expression clearly said: Didn't you want me to help you out?
Li Lianbei and others did not dare to speak since Wei Yanzhou spoke out.
It was one thing to step on Cheng Ning, but if he went in the wrong direction and offended Wei Yanzhou, then things would be very serious.
Just stop when you feel good, the fire has already started anyway.
Men are very possessive, so how can they allow their women to always be disconnected from other men?
"Concubine Shu is here to do the work for you. Your Majesty, if you want to drink, are you afraid that no one will drink?"
Fu Youting was furious and added another sentence.
He couldn't see Wei Yanzhou treating Cheng Ning as a woman in the back house and a tool for him to demonstrate his authority as emperor.
How infuriating.
But this sentence is obviously stepping on the tiger's tail.
Wei Yanzhou ignored Fu Youting. When he saw Cheng Ning getting up slowly, he sneered: "What are you waiting for?"
When Cheng Ning arrived in front of the Holy Emperor, she lifted up her skirt and knelt down, holding a wine bottle and pouring wine for Wei Yanzhou.
After pouring, bring the wine glass to him.
Wei Yanzhou only glanced at it: "Will you pour wine? It's too full."
I understand, this is to make things difficult.
Cheng Ning poured the wine in his glass and poured another glass, this time only filling two-thirds of it.
Wei Yanzhou took a sip and said, "It's cold. I want something warm."
"...."
Cheng Ning gave Wang Xi the wine flask and brought over a freshly warmed one.
Wei Yanzhou held the cup and rubbed it on his fingertips this time, and sighed: "I can't drink alone."
Xie Nianyao on the side heard this and hurriedly picked up the wine glass and offered a toast: "Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a drink."
Wei Yanzhou turned a deaf ear and only stared at Cheng Ning.
"..." Cheng Ning poured herself a glass, touched his glass, and drank it in one gulp.
She always drinks happily without any trace of ink.
This has been practiced in the northwest. Drinking in the northwest is rarely done to celebrate, but to warm up in the cold weather.
The wine he drank was not as warm as at the palace banquet now, it was all strong wine.
It's been too long since I've had a drink, so even if such a warm wine enters my throat, it's not very pleasant.
She drank a glass of wine so quickly that she choked and coughed for a while.
"Bad temper." Wei Yanzhou drank the wine and snorted coldly.
He thought it was her who was threatening people, but now it seemed like he was making things difficult for them.
Wang Xi on the side promptly reminded: "I have had a few drinks today. The imperial doctor said that the throat should not be too irritated."
Wei Yanzhou, who originally wanted to embarrass himself, did not pour any more wine after hearing this. Instead, he leaned into Cheng Ning's ear and asked.
"What are you conspiring with Fu Youting?"
He had endured it all night, but don't think he didn't notice the two men's flirtations just now.
Cheng Ning also dressed up today, including hibiscus flowers.
He had never seen her wearing flowers!
Moreover, Cheng Ning was outside the palace at the beginning, coming in with Wei Yanshu and Fu Youting.
I don’t know what he said outside.
Cheng Ning pretended to be deaf and pretended not to hear.
Anyway, he was already mute and couldn't say anything.
"Don't be pretentious with me. I can't cure him, but I can cure you. Don't forget that your father and brother are still in prison."
It is very natural to threaten people.
Cheng Ning was so angry that she wanted to beat him.
But what she asked Fu Youting to do couldn't be hidden later, so she dipped her fingertips in wine and wrote: Guarantor.
Ouyang Xi happened to turn his face sideways and saw these three words, not knowing why.
And I felt like I had some guesses as to why Wei Yanzhou suddenly came to Liyue Palace last night.
She sat quietly aside, not daring to pry at will.
"It's really what you would do," Wei Yanzhou didn't seem surprised: "If you can't beg me, why don't you go and beg him?"
Fu Youting doesn't need to beg at all, he is not as cold-hearted as you.
Cheng Ning said heartily.
Wei Yanzhou felt that whatever Cheng Ning was thinking sometimes was reflected on his face.
For example, it is written on her face at this moment: Fu Youting is different from you.
He was so angry that he pinched Cheng Ning's face directly.
He was not surprised that Cheng Ning would find a way to intervene, because this person was like this. As long as he had some way, he would not let things go to the worst outcome.
It's just not her nature to be honest.
Just think of it as compensation for making her angry because of yesterday's dispute. Wei Yanzhou thought about it and let it go.
From the perspective of others.
What is the emperor doing?
Wasn't he angry when he asked Cheng Ning to pour the wine just now?
I originally thought that calling Cheng Ning over was just to embarrass him, but the pouring of wine just now was just to find fault.
But now the two of them were whispering, I don't know what they were talking about, and His Majesty even pinched Concubine Xi's face.
How can he look angry?
Li Lianbei looked at it, raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp, feeling that Wei Yanzhou's attitude today was a bit strange.
He couldn't figure out what was strange about it.
Fortunately, a batch of smuggled merchant ships before the Chinese New Year were settled before entering the palace today.
The amount of money in his private account is equivalent to one month's income of the national treasury.
So it doesn't matter what business tax reform is. He can still avoid taxes on some secret businesses.
It's that idiot Xie Zhiyun.
Do you think that after your daughter becomes the queen, she will rise to prominence?
Wei Yanzhou is just treating the Xie family as a pawn. How much less money will he earn by surrendering to the imperial court and leaving the aristocratic family?
You still have to stand out for Wei Yanzhou, so when it comes to choosing a concubine, isn't it just that you go too far and get backfired?
idiot.
The more Li Lianbei thought about it, the more he felt that he was right. If you have money, don't make a bastard. High positions and so on are all fleeting.
Look at Xie Nianyao, doesn’t the emperor even look at her seriously?
"Li Aiqing," just as he was thinking about it, he was suddenly called by Wei Yanzhou: "It's boring to drink alone. I'll drink with you to appreciate your contribution to Jinyang in the past year."
Cheng Ning thought to himself, Wei Yanzhou is really good at lying.
Li Lianbei is already a piece of meat on his chopping board, yet he can still put on such a fake smile.
She felt bored, her body was full of alcohol, and with the popularity in the hall, her whole body felt hot.
I want to go out and take a breath.
Just as he stood up, Wei Yanzhou held his hand down again: "Where are you going?"
Cheng Ning fanned herself to indicate that she was warm, and pointed outside.
It happened that a minister was toasting Wei Yanzhou. He let go of his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't run around."
With that said, where can she run?
Just as Cheng Ning turned around, Xie Nianyao's eyes immediately changed.
She summoned Tian Xing, whispered something in her ear, and Tian Xing bowed and retreated.
Ouyang Xi's peripheral vision flashed and Cheng Ning's figure had arrived outside the hall.
After thirty years of drinking, the sound of dancing music rang out in the palace, and the palace people also came up to replace the second round of food and drinks.
Fu Youting's wine glass was filled.
Xie Nianyao glanced at Xie Nianjin, and then glanced at Fu Youting.
The other party understood and raised his cup to toast Fu Youting: "General Fu, here's a toast to you."
Fu Youting didn't notice anything strange and drank the wine.
