"Your majesty." Xiang Er looked up timidly. Her big eyes were pitiful as Xuanyuan Xiao suddenly threw her onto the bed.

Xiang Er was Bai Rouzhi's personal maid, so she had learned most of Master's essence. Although it was the first time, she had also served the Emperor very well, and was unwilling to leave in the morning.

"Your majesty, it's about time for the imperial court to begin." The eunuch urged from outside.

"Xiang Er, wait for us here." Just as the emperor left, the empress ordered people to drag Xiang Er over. "Hit him mercilessly, beat him to death, you actually dared to carry our master and climb onto the emperor's bed."

Xiang Er did not say anything. Some things, once done, she would not regret.

When the eunuch's club fell, Xiang Er gave up all hope. She shouted for her life, "Empress, you will die a horrible death. You will be punished for this sooner or later."

The empress raised her eyebrows. "Someone, have you poisoned me to death?"

The eunuch quickly brought the poison wine forward, pressing Xiang Er down and drinking it immediately. After the poison left Xiang Er's body, the Empress ordered her people to continue fighting until Xiang Er had his flesh ripped off and fainted. Then, she allowed him to be dragged out of the palace to feed the dogs.

When the eunuch saw that Xiang Er's looks were good and that her face was fine, he became greedy and secretly sold her to the Spring Wind Pavilion, making a small fortune.

After the emperor had finished dealing with the political matter for an entire day, he thought of Xiang Er and hurriedly ordered some servants to bring him over. The eunuch quickly returned with a head full of sweat and replied, "Your majesty, Xiang Er was beaten to death by the empress."

Xuanyuan Xiao snorted. Bai Rouzhi, you really dare!

Inside Prince Zhi's Mansion, Chu Qingyao flipped through two books, but she couldn't find where Paleo-Wushan was. Calling Hong Tan over, he asked her to find him a few more books on geography.

"Princess, if you wish to find a place that is not in Tian Qiong, it would be best if you were to look at Night Fog's map, where the topography of the entire nocturnal staining of the continent is recorded."

So this was actually the nocturnal staining of the continent.

"I'm just bored and want to understand more about the outside world. Hong Tan, help me find it quickly."

After getting the map, she quickly found the Paleo-Wushan. So it was within the borders of the Nine Moons Country, no wonder she couldn't find it. She took out the order badge that Hua Ximo had given her, and looked at it for a while, then rejected the idea of contacting Hua Ximo first, as that way, it would be easy for Xuanyuan Zhi to notice.

Now that Snowy sealed off the mountain, she decided to leave after the new year. She owed Xuanyuan Zhi a debt and if there was a chance, she would definitely pay it back.

"Princess, Aunt Mian wants me to pass on a message that you must come over and have dinner with Prince no matter what." Hong Tan brought a servant girl in.

When did Aunt Mian become so kind?

"I know." After receiving a positive response, the servant girl happily left. Aunt Mian had said that if she didn't manage to invite Princess Hua-Yang, she would be sold off.

"Esteemed wangfei, this servant will go ask about the situation." Hong Tan also felt that the Aunt Mian did not have good intentions.

"No need." You'll know in a minute.

"Then this servant will dress up the wangfei." Hong Tan ignored her objections and pushed her down onto the chair.

She got up and said, "Keep the food warm for me." Aunt Mian calling her must be for the Hong Gate banquet, who would she dress up for?

"Esteemed wangfei, your servant will compensate you."

She patted Hong Tan, "Be obedient and wait for me to come back for dinner."

When she entered the Celestial Pavilion, she saw that it was brightly lit. The servants were lining up to serve dishes at the house, it really did seem like there was a happy occasion.

"Princess." Someone saw her.

She nodded and walked in slowly. He took a glance and saw that Xuanyuan Zhi was not there, there were only the Aunt Mian and Su Ruyi. She walked over and called for Aunt Mian. Without waiting for Aunt Mian to speak, Su Ruyi spoke in disdain, "Chu Qingyao, brother Zhi's birthday, you aren't even giving me any presents?"

The heck, who told me that today is his birthday?

He walked to the side and sat down, "Ru Yi, you prepared a present? "Why don't you take it out and broaden this wangfei's horizons?"

Su Ruyi proudly snorted, "Of course I prepared a big gift, but it wasn't for you to see. If you have the time, why don't you think about it? When the brother Zhi comes, how are you going to give it to him?! "

Chu Qingyao's face was calm. "This is the Prince Zhi's Mansion, everything belongs to you, so what honor does this wangfei need? Only when the guests arrive will they bring gifts. "

"You don't have a proper present, do you?" What Su Ruyi had prepared was a gigantic Night Pearl, it was probably not even possible to find a second such large pearl in the entire nocturnal staining of the continent.

Aunt Mian's expression of watching a good show had made Chu Qingyao rather unhappy. She laughed lightly, "This wangfei marrying him is the best gift ever."

Su Ruyi was furious, just as he was about to scold Chu Qingyao for being shameless, he saw Xuanyuan Zhi walking in from the outside. He immediately saw Chu Qingyao sitting there, "What day is it today? Why are there so many people?"

Su Ruyi hurried over, "brother Zhi, how come you don't even remember your birthday?"

Xuanyuan Zhi was startled, he had really forgotten about it. If there was anyone else who would still remember his birthday, it would definitely be Aunt Mian. He was a little touched, "I've troubled you, Aunt Mian."

"I am your biological aunt, I naturally have to take care of you on behalf of your matriarch." Aunt Mian's words clearly showed that he was unsatisfied with Chu Qingyao, but Chu Qingyao did not mind and followed everyone into the hall.

Xuanyuan Zhi and Aunt Mian surrounded him as he sat in the main seat, directly pushing Chu Qingyao, this wangfei, to the side. She laughed at herself and chose a new seat again, sitting opposite of Xuanyuan Zhi.

Xuanyuan Zhi looked over, "Today is just a feast, everyone should go back and rest well."

"brother Zhi, take a look at Ruyi's prepared present for you." Su Ruyi stood up and was about to go get a present, but Xuanyuan Zhi pulled her hand, "Let's talk after we finish eating."

Su Ruyi sat down happily and provocatively looked at Chu Qingyao. He picked up a piece of cod and placed it into his bowl, "brother Zhi, this is your favorite cod snow, how about you quickly try it?"

Xuanyuan Zhi looked at the fish in the bowl and frowned, "I haven't eaten fish for a long time."

Su Ruyi's expression froze, "Then what does brother Zhi like to eat?"

"I have no appetite today. I'll just drink a glass of wine." He took the wine jug and filled a cup for himself, then he waved the jug at Chu Qingyao, "Are you going to drink?"

Aunt Mian's face changed, who would pour wine for a woman?

Chu Qingyao walked over with a glass of wine, asked him to fill it for her, and raised her glass. "I wish you all the best in your life, your highness. My stomach is not feeling well, so I won't accompany you for dinner. Let's do it first. " He raised his head and finished the wine in one gulp. Then, he walked away without even looking back as he put down the wine cup.

Xuanyuan Zhi's gaze became obscure and gloomy. He raised his head, drank all of the wine in his cup and filled his cup for himself. Zhi Er, you have chosen these dishes personally. Drink slower, don't hurt your stomach. "

Chu Qingyao could no longer hear what was said inside. Once she returned to Blue Luan Courtyard, she shouted for Hong Tan to start eating.

"Esteemed wangfei, why are you back? Didn't you say that you have to accompany Prince to have a meal tonight? "

"I'm done accompanying you, hurry up and start eating. I'm starving." She drank a glass of wine with an empty stomach. Her stomach was burning with pain, and she wanted nothing more than to eat something and press down on her.

Just as the dishes were served, the door opened and Xuanyuan Zhi walked in. Chu Qingyao was stunned, he must have been drinking too much, how could he possibly come over? She took a bite of the cold dish and placed it into her mouth. Xuanyuan Zhi had already walked over and sat beside her.

"Chu Qingyao, you dare to lie to me?"

Chu Qingyao's eyes widened, Xuanyuan Zhi had really come!

She pushed the bowl towards him. "Why are you here?" Given how fast he had arrived, it was obvious that he had not eaten yet.

"This King can't come?" Xuanyuan Zhi looked around in disdain, but there was no wine, he said to the outside: "Hong Tan, go get some wine."

Chu Qingyao accompanied him with a smile, "They had prepared a table full of dishes for you, why did you abandon them and leave?" Xuanyuan Zhi took the wine Hong Tan brought over and poured a cup for both of them.

"Drink with This King." He raised his glass to her.

Chu Qingyao quickly picked up her cup and took a sip, "I'm fine with it, your highness is done with it." Xuanyuan Zhi did not argue with her. He drained his cup and pushed the cup over for her to pour.

After finishing the wine, Xuanyuan Zhi said, "Hong Tan, bring the entire jar over." Although Chu Qingyao had drunk less, her face was flushed, like the most beautiful clouds in the western sky.

After the wine jar was brought over, Xuanyuan Zhi opened the wine seal and poured two cups, "Ji Bei has already sent a message to contact Chu Yunmu."

Chu Qingyao raised her glass, "Many thanks, Your Highness." Seeing her raise her head, drink an entire cup of wine, and then fill it up for herself, Xuanyuan Zhi started to frown. Chu Qingyao picked up the cup, "Xuanyuan Zhi, thank you for saving me so many times."

"It was you who saved This King first."

The two of them continued drinking until the bottom of the pot of wine, Xuanyuan Zhi asked in surprise, "Chu Qingyao, I didn't think that you could drink so much."

Can you drink it? Why did she feel like the whole world was spinning?

Seeing that she had drank too much, Xuanyuan Zhi gently carried her and put her on the bed. He took off her shoes and socks and also took off his clothes and laid down beside her.

Chu Qingyao was drunk to the point of unconsciousness, she felt that her entire body was very hot. When Xuanyuan Zhi saw this, he stifled his breath, turned his body, and immediately kissed her tender lips.

Chu Qingyao, you actually dared to get drunk while you were seducing this duke!

He did not want to take advantage of her. He did not know when, but he had already cared about this woman and was afraid that she would be angry when she woke up. However, she was clearly his woman.

Chu Qingyao, wake up.

He leaned over her ear as if he were saying something sweet. However, the woman in his arms held his arm and turned her head over, letting out a light and even breathing sound.

She was actually fast asleep! Sleeping …

Xuanyuan Zhi felt a sense of powerlessness, and was truly defeated by this woman.

He turned his body and pulled her into his embrace, feeling the exquisite softness of her embrace. He had spent the entire night in torment, unable to fall asleep at all.
