Tao'er had never been to the palace before, and she was even more excited than Xu. When she heard her instructions, she hurried to find an umbrella and helped Xu dress up.

In comparison, Gran was much calmer. She felt that there was nothing strange and nothing to be happy about. To her, it didn't matter whether it was a prince's mansion or a palace, it didn't matter where she lived. There was no difference except that she had rarely lived in a palace. So she didn't feel any fluctuations in her heart.

When it was time for dinner, the eunuch knocked on the door to inform them. The emperor and Nangong Jing realized that it was very late and they were a little hungry, so the emperor said, "Let's go and have dinner together."

"Okay." Nangong Jing responded, and the two left the study.

In the imperial garden, Xu and Tao'er were very happy looking at the various gorgeous flowers in the garden. No woman would not like such beautiful flowers.

"Hurry, Tao'er, help me pick a few more flowers. I will take them back to the palace tomorrow and put them in a vase. It will look nice as a decoration in the house." Xu ordered. As she spoke, she personally picked the most beautiful flowers. Another maid was beside her holding an umbrella for her.

"Okay." Tao'er responded, holding the umbrella with one hand and picking flowers with the other.

"Sure. I am willing to play chess with you, my brother." Nangong Jing said, his speech not as unclear as other drunkards.

After eating for a while, Nangong Jing looked at the wine glass at hand, poured himself a glass of wine, raised it and said to the emperor: "Brother, I toast you a glass!"

Nangong Jing has always been a worse drinker than the emperor, so this time he was drunk while the emperor only had a red face but was not obviously drunk.

"Yeah." The emperor nodded and waved to him, so Nangong Jing left.

Although Nangong Jing was drunk, he was an excellent chess player and won two games against the emperor while the emperor only won one game.

So the two of them walked towards the study again.

"Today is a family dinner. Don't be shy. Feel free to eat or drink whatever you want." The emperor said, then picked up his chopsticks and added a piece of delicacy to his meal.

Nangong Jing smiled and said, "Since it is getting late, I will leave first and not disturb you, my brother."

Only the other two maids continued to hold umbrellas and pick flowers, and they did not dare to go to eat when it was time for dinner.

Dinner is here? Xu was secretly delighted. She was very curious about the difference between the food in the palace and the food in the prince's mansion. After hearing this, she quickly threw the flowers she had picked to the maid next to her and ordered, "Pick more for me. Pick the ones that are in good shape. Don't put everything in the basket." Then she followed the eunuch to eat. Tao'er followed silently and helped Xu hold an umbrella to keep out the rain.

Nangong Jing frowned. He was drunk and had played chess for so long. He just wanted to have a good rest and didn't want to see any woman bothering him. So he said, "I'm not going anywhere. Just help me back to my place."

"good."

"Let's go play chess!" The emperor said to Nangong Jing, "Can you still play chess?"

Gran had no expression on his face and slowly ate the delicious food in front of him.

The emperor then noticed the passage of time and laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, I was so carefree with my brother today that I forgot the time."

He hadn't been so close to his brothers for a long time, and he was very happy the whole day.

When everyone saw the emperor picking up his chopsticks, they also picked up their chopsticks and started eating. The maids and eunuchs were standing by to serve the dishes.

Suddenly, the guard seemed to have seen something and said to Nangong Jing, "Your Highness, look, isn't that the concubine?" Hearing this, Nangong Jing raised his head and glanced in the direction of the guard, only to find Gran standing in the corridor shivering, his whole body wet.

An hour passed in this way, playing chess and chatting. Although the emperor lost more times than he won, he was obviously very happy.

"Good! I haven't had a good drink for a long time. Today, you and I, brother, why don't we drink to our heart's content and not go home until we are drunk! No, I'm afraid you won't be able to go home even if you are drunk tonight, haha!" said the emperor, laughing.

Nangong Jing's eyebrows and mouth corners were also colored with smiles, and he drank first as a sign of respect.

Nangong Jing always had a good attitude after drinking. He would not lose consciousness or go crazy. Even if he was drunk, his mind would be clear and he would not talk nonsense.

Walking out of the study, the biting cold wind outside sobered Nangong Jing up a little, but he had drunk too much and was too stuffy in the room just now, so his face was flushed and his expression was tense, which made people feel nervous and oppressed.

The emperor then drank the wine in his cup as a toast. The two began to drink and chat, while Xu, Gelan and others were silent and ate their food.

Afterwards, a eunuch holding an umbrella came over, and seeing that it was Xu, he hurriedly said, "Concubine Xu, I have been looking for you for a long time. It turns out you are standing here! Dinner is about to start, and you are still wandering around the Imperial Garden. Hurry over, the Emperor and the prince are waiting, don't miss the dinner." The eunuch was anxious.

The servant answered yes, and then helped Nangong Jing to his residence.

It was not until the chief eunuch beside the emperor told him that it was already late and it was time to turn over the names of the concubines in the palace.

Seeing that the emperor had said it was ok to do as he pleased, Xu really did not hesitate and picked up her chopsticks and started eating casually, trying all kinds of dishes. Sure enough, the taste was better than that in the palace, and there were some dishes she had never eaten before.

The attendant looked at Nangong Jing cautiously and asked, "My Lord, it's getting late. Are you going to Concubine Xu's place or the Khitan Princess's place?"

Nangong Jing saw Gran's clothes were soaked, frowned, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Gran was a little stunned looking at Nangong Jing who suddenly appeared in front of him, then shook his head and explained: "It's nothing, I just lost the jade pendant my mother gave me, so I was anxious to find it and got wet in the rain, but fortunately I found it just now."

Listening to what Gran said, Nangong Jing frowned even more, and said in an angry voice: "If something is lost, why don't you let the maids and guards look for it? Why do you have to stand in the rain by yourself? What if you catch a cold?"

Gran didn't say anything. He thought to himself that he was in a hurry just now and didn't think so much. He was just afraid that someone would pick it up and he wouldn't be able to find it, so he just wanted to try his best to find it.

Nangong Jing sighed, walked over helplessly, and said, "Forget it, just follow me first."
