Li Ruo didn't know what the real empress looked like, but the person in front of her was obviously on par with the dignified empress of a TV show.

They were like a mother who respected the world, graceful, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous. These words were like extremes when compared to the person in front of him.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that such a person could be the empress. Sure enough, TV dramas could lie.

"Little stool, little table, where are you? "Don't run, let's see if this old lady can catch you!" Liru could not help but laugh as he looked at the young eunuch playing hide and seek with his blindfolded eyes, even though he was wearing a robe.

A small table and a small stool. Wasn't this the young eunuch by Little Swallow's side?

Could it be that he had also crossed over to another world?

However, from the looks of the people around him, they could tell that this empress was someone who could be at ease with others.

"Empress. The princess is here! "

Qingyan took off the blindfold on her face and looked at Liru curiously.

Liruo bent down slightly. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she shouted first.

"Esteemed Empress!"

"Truly a beauty. That kid, Xuanyuan Mo, got lucky!"

Qingyan beamed as she reached out to pull Liru's hand towards the dining room.

"Mother …" Qingyan was used to using violence, but she suddenly realized that she would be scared out of her wits.

"Oh, pui! Look at my mouth. I knew that you guys would enter the palace today. I was afraid that you would get bored from waiting for Xuanyuan Mo, so I prepared some delicious food. Come have a meal with me first."

Li Ruo smiled. She was not used to speaking softly like this when she saw the rude look on the woman's face.

Green Smoke touched the wine jar, winking at Liru. "A little?"

The court lady was anxious and came forward to stop her. "Esteemed empress, the emperor won't let you drink …"

"Go to hell, I'm very happy today!"

Li Ruo smiled. "It's rare to meet a true woman. Drink, then drink …"

"Alright!" Qingyan smiled, lifted her big feet and placed them on the chair. She then poured wine into two big bowls. Her actions were extremely flamboyant.

She didn't look like the empress, but more like a gangster on the street.

Originally, she thought that the empress had called her here to denounce her father, because she thought that Li Ruo had offended her father in the main hall, but she didn't expect her to ignore all these matters.

What Li Ruo didn't know was that Qingyan was treating her like this because she knew about those things. It was because she felt that this woman called Li Ruo had the same personality as her.

The entire palace was filled with the heavy smell of alcohol, causing the Jun brothers who had just arrived to stop in their tracks.

"Royal brother, it seems that Imperial Aunt is secretly drinking again!" Xuanyuan Mo's thin lips slightly parted, a faint smile on his face.

"Obviously."

The young Emperor rubbed his glabella helplessly.

Raising his foot to take the first step, Xuanyuan Mo followed closely behind.

Obviously, they had already guessed what would happen, but they didn't know what would happen. Thus, when they saw the two women who were hugging each other and fighting with their wine jars, they both revealed astonished expressions.

After that, the two similar faces showed helplessness at the same time.

Qing Yan's eyes lit up. She grabbed the Emperor's shoulder boldly and threw the jar into his arms. "Xuanyuan Yi, it's great that you're here. I'm very happy today, come and drink with me!"

Xuanyuan Yi was not angry. He took the jar and put it down, smiling like a peach flower. "Don't drink too much!"

Qingyan had a treacherous smile on her face after receiving Xuanyuan Yi's concern. She even secretly threw a smug look at Liru, as if saying, "See, I'm still powerful. So what if Xuanyuan Yi is the emperor?"

Aren't you completely obedient from what I did?

Liruo smiled, then seemed to recall something as she picked up the wine jar and passed it to Xuanyuan Mo who was not far away.

"General, what's your alcohol capacity?"

"It's not bad!" Xuanyuan Mo swept a glance and accepted it. Was this person going to compete with him for wine?

Who didn't know that he, Xuanyuan Mo, was a drinker who dominated the entire Xuanyuan Empire? However, in front of a woman, shouldn't he behave humbly?

"Not bad, then that's good!" Li Ruo raised an eyebrow. "Then, how about we make a bet?"

"How should we bet? "Betting on what?" Bai Zhe's fingers lightly gripped the wine jar as Xuanyuan Mo suddenly became interested.

"Let's bet on drinking. If I win today, I can freely enter and leave your General's Estate from now on, how about that?"

When Qingyan heard about the wager, her eyes opened wide, wanting to warn Liru to be careful, but she was seen through by Xuanyuan Yi. She quickly covered the corner of her mouth with her hands and she could only anxiously look at Liru, unable to do anything.

"No." There was a rule in the general's residence that no one was allowed to enter or leave the manor. Therefore, this request was surely out of the question.

"However, leaving the palace three times a month is fine. The condition is that you have to win against this general!"
