Ji Panpan came over because Lin mama had given her instructions. After she finished speaking, she began to eat dessert.

Xu Lin drank the lotus seed congee happily and thought back to what her highness had said just now. Unfortunately, Prince Jiang Liu was a man, so she was a bit unhappy. However, she was more sensible than Ji Panpan and did not continue to pester him.

From the beginning of the banquet, Shen Wan Ruyi stood at the gate of the Eastern Palace to welcome Prince Jiang.

Prince Jiang wore the most formal of the prince of Jiang, a long black gown with a dragon embroidered on the sleeves. Beneath it was a brocade robe embroidered with an auspicious purple design, and beneath it was a red cloak. The robe was heavy and heavy, but he was not covered by the clothes at all.

Ru Yi went down the stairs, and Li Qing followed closely behind her. The head of the etiquette team quickly said a few words to Prince Jiang Liu, and then saw Jiang Mubai Li gently nod his head, slowly walking towards Ru Yi.

"Greetings to the princess."

Ru Yi raised her hand and said, "Prince, please forgive me for coming from afar to welcome you." When she saw the beauty, she unconsciously lowered her voice.

Prince Jiang was even more noble than the paintings.

For the past few years, Emperor Qinghe had paid more attention to her diet. Sometimes, when he came across good food, he would rather give it to her even if he didn't eat it. Ru Yi was in a very healthy condition and had almost never gotten sick. She was wearing a plain, moon-white makeup dress with a coiled dragon embroidered in black and gold thread at the collar. She stood in front of Jiang Mai Li without losing any color.

"The Sixth Prince is our esteemed guest, Ru Yi should have welcomed him in person, but he just so happened to have some business in the palace and was being disrespectful. This cup of wine is for the Prince."

He raised his hand and drank the wine, "I have come presumptuously because of Li's disrespect. I have a strong character, if Your Highness does not mind, please call me a strong character."

"Alright, Brother Fuchsia, you can call me Ruyi." Ru Yi put down her wine cup. "Father has been busy with matters of the court lately, but he still bestowed music and dancing upon me in his busy schedule. I can enjoy it a little and compare the etiquette and music of Yan and Jiang Kingdoms."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Highness." "A few days ago, I found a jade mine in my fiefdom, and the craftsmen rushed it day and night. That's why I got two treasures before I set off, giving them to His Majesty and His Highness."

The large piece was a beauty pillow, and the small piece was a Buddha statue. Such a large piece of jade was rarely seen even in Yan Country.

Jiang Liu held the wine cup and said slowly, "This wine has a rich aroma, and a sweet taste. It also has a lingering fragrance. Isn't it the famous apricot wine in Yan Country?

Ru Yi smiled, "That's right, brother Qiang Zhen is very knowledgeable." The apricot flower wine was provided exclusively by the royal family. It was a clear spring water from a royal forest in the southwest of Yan City, and because of its unique brewing technology, it was extremely difficult for outsiders to taste it. I heard that there is also some fruit wine in Jiang Country. Its color is red, and it's made from roses and grapes? "

"That's right, I brought some too this time. This wine is very fragrant, so your highness can taste them." If you like it, there are still a few jars left in the inn, which you can give to your highness. "

Jiang Muli's men gave him the wine, and Li Qing took it himself. She took another silver wine cup from behind and was about to pour it when she heard him say, "This wine should be drunk in a glass …"

Li Qing looked at Ru Yi. Seeing her nod, he changed the Glazed Glass Cup.

The host switched cups, Ru Yi drank two cups, the smell of alcohol slowly rose to her face, Li Qing moved closer to her, she was secretly anxious, this wine was of a different color, and was also in the Glass Cup, it was obvious at a glance that he wanted to pour less, the silver cup that he had prepared could fall to the bottom after being poured in, because of its mechanism, His Highness did not need to do anything but drink, and after being switched to the Glazed Cup, he would not be able to do it. Even if His Highness had taken only a few sips, he'd still drank two cups of it off and on. Prince Jiang had basically used the apricot wine as water!

Ru Yi also felt a bit dizzy. She used to drink a lot of water, but now that she had tasted this wine, she knew that her alcohol tolerance was too low. Fortunately, she still had a song and dance, so she took the opportunity to call out the song given by Emperor He.

Prince Jiang Liu drank a whole pot of apricot wine and didn't waver when he left. Ru Yi felt a little jealous and impressed.

She could not compare to him. She was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She did not take a single step further.

When Lin mama saw that Manager Li had personally delivered it, her face tightened and she hurriedly called out to Green Bamboo to personally prepare the hangover soup.

"Your Highness, how are you?" Although Ru Yi was drinking with outsiders, Senior Servant Lin, Li Qing, and the rest knew the truth. Who wouldn't know that Prince Jiang had brought wine with him today and even said he wanted to drink in the glass cup like a scoundrel?

Ru Yi shook her head. "I'm just a bit dizzy, let me sleep first. I don't want to disturb royal father. I will tell royal father about this tomorrow. "

Qing He was the one who gave Li Qing to the princess. Since he had let her get drunk, he had already failed his duty. Thus, when he found out that the princess was drunk, he had his men report to His Majesty.

So, as soon as Ru Yi finished speaking, Emperor Qing He came in, followed by the imperial physician and Senior Official Zheng, who was holding pear juice in his hands.

The imperial physician took his pulse, "Your Highness is fine."

Emperor Qinghe was worried. He rubbed Ru Yi's forehead. "What do you think?" Is it a headache? "

Ru Yi smiled lazily. The smell of alcohol rushed up, causing her eyes to be especially bright. "I want to sleep for a while."

"Alright, go to sleep." After saying that, he personally covered her with a blanket.

Li Qing and Lin mama had knelt before the emperor when he entered, and now lay on the ground without daring to move at all.

As an emperor, Xue had had many misunderstandings with the emperor, but there was no denying that his first love rival, Jiang Mai Li, had been personally sent away by Emperor Qing He.

It was said that the Emperor's hatred towards Prince Jiang Liu began when Prince Jiang Liu made his daughter drunk. At the end of Jiang, Li was beautiful, and there was once someone who believed that the Lady Jiang Liu was a person who didn't want to get drunk.

Later on, Prince Jiang Liu also showed his love for his daughter, and everyone thought that she wouldn't refuse, but Emperor Qing He personally split the two young mandarins with a knife.

According to the history books, Xue Ji Yun was extremely filial to his father-in-law, and Emperor Qing He was too old to be sick. Of course, this was a wild history. As for the truth, no one would dare to say that they were the parties involved.

Emperor Qing He's face darkened as he looked down at the two people below. He was about to erupt when Ru Yi spoke up. "Imperial Father …" He held on to Ru Yi's outstretched hand and said, "I am here. Sleep."

The imperial maiden had never been so close to him ever since she was a child. Emperor Qinghe immediately recalled the days when he had first entered the palace, and how she had been unable to sleep well at night and had often wanted him to coax her.

Ru Yi woke up after sleeping for two hours. When she woke up, she found her father sitting on a chair by her bed, reading a paper. Li Qing and Senior Servant Lin were still kneeling on the floor.

When he heard the noise, he turned around and gently asked, "Did you wake up?"

Ru Yi yawned, scratched her head and returned, "Why hasn't royal father rested yet? I was just hungry and wanted to eat something before I woke up. " His eyes swept over Li Qing as he said apologetically, "It's all my fault for wanting a toast today. It's not about Senior Servant Lin and Manager Li. I hope Imperial Father can be merciful and spare them this time."

"I know you, and I don't blame you. Even though it was a banquet, the matter involved a prince of another country, so your actions today as the crown prince was not wrong; similarly, Li Qing, as the chief overseer, served you as his duty, and getting you drunk today was his dereliction of duty. I have taught you before that each has his own place and his own duty. You said that he had failed in his duty and I punished him, right? "

When the warm handkerchief brushed against her face, Ru Yi heaved a sigh of relief. After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she felt much more energetic. "Father's lesson was right."

He also took a cup of warm water for himself, but he didn't drink it. "Imperial Father has always given me distinct rewards and penalties, and Manager Li has knelt for a long time now. Since Senior Servant Lin doesn't know what happened, Imperial Father will just give this son some face."

Emperor Qing grudgingly waved his hand. Senior Official Zheng hurriedly commanded his eunuchs to come over and help Li Qing and Lin mama down.

"Lin mama is smart and loyal, too. She can be counted as good as serving the princess, but you're the crown prince. Forget it, she'll still be in charge of internal affairs in the future." "Li Qing was selected by us …"

Ru Yi quickly said, "It is your son who is at fault. Your son used to dislike eunuchs, but Eunuch Li has helped your son a lot, and your son truly thinks that he is not bad. It is father's opinion that should be good, but your son will not teach you, so when your father is free, teach me a few moves, right?"

"Do you think that I'm teaching you martial arts? I'm even teaching you a few moves. If he himself is not smart enough to follow in your footsteps, and does not serve you well, and is only willing to change, do you think that this will depend on my face?! "

After Ru Yi had eaten five points of food, she put down her chopsticks and refilled Emperor Qing He's bowl of water. As she sat on the bed to eat, she winked at Emperor Qing He. "Imperial Father, although this son's tolerance for alcohol isn't great, the wine is still pretty good, right? I used to read books, but there were people who drank too much, knew how to sing, danced, and even fought and cursed. As for me, I just wanted to sleep for a while … "Finally, I said joyfully and with pride," Father is still the best! "

"What does this have to do with me?"

Ru Yi held her cheeks and gave her a coquettish glance. "This son of mine is born to the royal father!" The meaning behind his words was, "Father, your wine is great, that's why my wine is so great!"

Even when she was drunk, the princess could kiss his majesty's ass; no wonder he said that her daughter was a caring little cotton-padded jacket. If she was the crown prince, perhaps the people around her would have been caned to death and they would even dare to flatter her?

"Enough. Since you've already woken up, I can set my mind at ease. In the future, if you dare to get drunk again, I won't forgive you. If there comes a next time, flattering me won't be of any use." That meant it would be fine this time.
