Seeing that Nalan Baiqiong was about to get drunk, Shen Yanxi could only continue to make up excuses."Your Majesty, you even promised the Monarch and Empress that you would talk to him. It's not good for the Monarch and Empress to see you so drunk.”
Nalan Baiyao frowned and said sharply,""The Monarch Empress can't be so strict with Sister. After all, Sister is the Emperor.”
"What did Qiong-er and Jinchuan meet for?" Tang Xue asked.”After drinking a few cups of the autumn wine, she was also a little tipsy. This autumn wine was Tang Xue's favorite wine when she was still a daughter of the Tang family. Only one person knew how to brew it. After entering the palace, she had never drunk it again.
"Who is it?" Nalan Baiqiong was a little drunk. He leaned on the table and asked Tang Xue.
"Jinchuan, Qiong 'er should indeed talk to Jinchuan more. It is the country's great fortune that the Empress has a deep relationship with him.”She shouldn't be like her, holding power but never finding the happiness she had in the past.
"Speak more…" Nalan Baiqiong muttered and nodded." That's right. I should have told him earlier. I like him very much. I've liked him for a long time. I told him not to treat others well and not to…" She didn't hear the rest of the sentence clearly because her voice was too soft.
"What do you mean by not being nice to others? Jinchuan is the Empress, so he naturally has a bigger heart. So Qiong 'er is also jealous?”Tang Xue smiled and rebuked," Mother has kept you here for too long. Go."”
Shen Yan immediately bowed to Tang Xue and helped Nalan Baiqiong up.""His Majesty hasn't drunk for months due to his fast, and his alcohol tolerance isn't as good as before. He still needs to return to Asahi Palace to rest so that he won't miss his appointment with the Empress.”
"Go. BenGong only hopes that Qiong 'er will stop doing ridiculous things and cherish Jinchuan.”
"I like you, I like you…" Nalan Baiqiong was still mumbling when Shen Yanxi helped him out and onto the carriage.
Nalan Baiyao pretended to be nonchalant." I haven't drunk for a few months, but my tolerance has dropped so much. It's really surprising."”
Seeing that Tang Xue did not react, Nalan Baiyao's heart sank, but she still smiled and said,""It's all Yaoyao's fault for making Elder Sister break her precepts and get so drunk. Yaoyao, go and see Elder Sister.”
"Go ahead." Tang Xue didn't even lift her eyelids as she sank into her own thoughts.
Nalan Baiyao immediately got up and chased after him.
Shen Yanxi noticed that Nalan Baiyao was following them and knew that things were not good. She instructed Shen Jingmin to send Nalan Baiqiong back to the Asahi Palace safely and asked a guard to go back first to order someone to prepare the hangover soup. She then turned around and went over to welcome them."Your Highness, I almost forgot one thing. I wonder if Your Highness has autumn flowers in your residence?”
Nalan Baiyao didn't know what Shen Yanxi was thinking. After hesitating for a moment, she said,""No, I haven't."
"The Empress said that the Prince Consort loves autumn flowers the most and wants this subject to choose some to send to plant. This subject is worrying about which colors to choose, so why not invite Your Highness to choose with this subject, lest Your Highness doesn't like it.”
Nalan Baiyao smiled." I won't. Lady Yanxi has always been the best at arranging things. I'm very relieved."”
"Your Highness, you are too kind." Shen Yanxi also smiled." I wonder which one does Your Highness like the most among Pink Qiuying, Yellow Qiuying, and Orange Qiuying?"”
"Huang Qiuying." Nalan Baiyao answered patiently.
"Then how high does Your Highness like it? Is it three inches or seven inches?" Shen Yanxi asked sincerely.
Nalan Baiqiong's carriage gradually went further away.
She felt dizzy and heavy. Although this body wasn't like that, it was Nalan Baiqiong's first time drinking. She felt the world spin and sorrow came from her heart."South City…Ah Cheng…"
"What did Your Majesty say?" Shen Jingmin's ears were sharp. She leaned closer and asked, only to hear Nalan Baiqiong calling out for Ah-Cheng with a sorrowful expression.
"Ah-Cheng?" Shen Jingmin thought for a moment and only remembered that other than the Empress, there were only four men left in the palace: Jianyue, Lin 'an, Jing' an, and Qingwu.
He remembered that Lord Qingwu's name was Lou Chen. Ah Chen?
"Your Majesty, you are drunk. Jingmin will accompany Your Majesty back to the Asahi Palace.”
Nalan Baiqiong, on the other hand, became drunk and almost jumped off the carriage."I'm not drunk! Bring me to Ah-Cheng! I have something to say to him! I have something to say to him!"
"Your Majesty!" What would happen if he really fell off the carriage? Shen Jingmin could only coax him," Go see Ah Chen, Your Majesty. This is the way to Winter Villa."”
He thought that his elder sister probably wouldn't be able to stop the Second Princess for long, so he might as well follow the Emperor's instructions to go to the Winter Villa. If his elder sister didn't stop her, the Second Princess would be able to pounce on nothing.
"Really? Don't lie to me. I really have something important to say to him. If you don't say it now, it'll be too late. I won't be able to see him anymore.”
Looking at Nalan Baiqiong's love-stricken expression, Shen Jingmin was also slightly moved. She was a young lady of 16 or 17 years old, and was at the age where love matters were most important."I'm not lying to you, Your Majesty. We're almost there.”
Lou Chen was watering the orchids when he heard a guard announce that the Emperor had arrived. He would only leave after watering the last stalk.
Before he reached the door, he saw an unfamiliar female official supporting the stumbling Nalan Baiqiong. Lou Chen was a little surprised. When he got closer, he could smell the alcohol on Nalan Baiqiong's body.
"Today, the Second Princess came and insisted on drinking with His Majesty. His Majesty was drunk and wanted to find Lord Qingwu.”Shen Jingmin said roughly.
"Ah-Cheng?" Nalan Baiqiong forced her eyes open and saw a man standing in front of her. He looked very similar to Nancheng and was wearing an ancient costume. She could not help but laugh." Why are you wearing such strange clothes? But it looks very good on you."”
As she spoke, she pounced towards Lou Chen. Lou Chen didn't have time to dodge and was covered by her. He wanted to push her away but realized that her grip was very strong and she was holding onto his clothes.
"Listen to me, listen to me. Can't you give me a chance to tell you? You're going to marry someone else. I should wake up from my dream. Five years. How many five years can a person have? Can't I even get a chance to listen?”
Lou Chen's body stiffened. He recalled Nalan Baiqiong's words that day and did not push her hard.
After living in the palace for half a year, he had seen the cruel side of Nalan Baiqiong, the side that she had fun with men, the cold side, the gentle side, and the serious side. However, he had never seen her so fragile.
She was a high and mighty empress, an unprecedented person. She was also a little girl who had a person in her heart that she could not get.
Lou Chen was suddenly curious. What kind of man could make the ruler of a country so humble that he didn't even dare to say that he liked him?
There was no harm in listening.
Just as she made up her mind, she suddenly felt a warmth on her lips. She lowered her gaze and saw Nalan Baiqiong's face right in front of her. Where was the story she had promised? She actually kissed him while he was soft-hearted?
When Shen Jingmin saw this scene, she immediately retreated and closed the door.
This kiss was very gentle at first, but later on, it was filled with despair. Although Lou Chen practiced martial arts, his martial arts weren't very good. Originally, he practiced martial arts because he was born with a congenital deficiency and wanted to strengthen his body. Otherwise, if his martial arts were strong, Nalan Baiyao wouldn't be afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape after killing Nalan Baiqiong.
