Immediately, her face darkened as she yelled angrily, "You dare to stop me? Do you not want to live? If you don’t let me in, don’t blame me for not showing mercy."
The people in Hu Xiao’s palace were too arrogant, if not for the fact that Zhi Lan knew martial arts, she would have already barged in.
"Imperial Consort Xue, I’m sorry. This servant doesn’t dare to disobey Empress’s orders." Zhi Lan was neither humble nor arrogant, she cupped her hands towards Xue Mier with no intention to give in.
Inside the house, Hu Xiao heard the commotion outside. She looked outside but did not see anyone.
"What’s going on outside?" Hu Xiao raised her eyebrow and asked outside.
After a while, the palace maid returned and reported, "Empress, Imperial Consort Xue is here. They are outside the door shouting for us to come in."
Hearing that, Hu Xiao looked up and glanced at Qin Shuo, and then smiled and said: "Let her in, let her come in for a feast."
Hu Xiao said passionately. She stood at the door and took the initiative to welcome Xue Mier.
Seeing that, the anger on Xue Mier’s face receded, she looked at Hu Xiao with an astonished gaze, her heart was confused.
He thought to himself, what is Hu Xiao doing? Why is she standing at the door and looking at me with a smile? No, I have to be careful not to fall into her trap.
Xue Mier took a deep breath, then, she slowed down her pace and slowly walked towards Hu Xiao, before she could even speak, Hu Xiao had already taken the initiative, "What a coincidence, I had let the imperial kitchen make a hotpot, do you want to try it?"
Hearing the word "hotpot", a hint of confusion flashed across Xue Mier’s eyes. What hotpot? She had never heard of it before. Could it be poisonous?!
However, since Hu Xiao had invited him enthusiastically, it would not be good for him to give up on him. She lightly nodded her head to hide the embarrassment on her face. She wouldn’t ask what the hotpot was like!
No wonder the room was so fragrant. Just by looking at the food in the hotpot, it would look delicious. A hint of joy flashed across Xue Mier’s heart.
Moreover, Qin Shuo was also here. Even if she wanted to find trouble with Hu Xiao, he wouldn’t look for him now.
"What about me?" Seeing that Hu Xiao did not invite him, Qin Shuo’s mouth twitched, and asked seriously.
After Xue Mier came here, Qin Shuo didn’t say a word, and for a moment, Hu Xiao had forgotten about Qin Shuo’s existence.
She laughed mischievously as she pulled back two stools. She gave off the air of a hostess as she said, "Those who come are guests. Quickly sit down and try out the hotpot. You haven’t eaten before, so I’m afraid you won’t get used to it."
Hu Xiao grinned. She looked really good when she smiled, while Qin Shuo stared at her like a pervert.
Hu Xiao was in a great mood, if not she would not be so passionate. Sharing her favorite food with others was a blissful thing for her.
Xue Mier did not hold back, she immediately sat down. At the beginning, she was a little uncomfortable, eating happily with her love rival, she felt very uncomfortable.
However, Hu Xiao’s carelessness allowed her to gradually get used to the atmosphere.
"Would you like some wine? "How can we eat hotpot without drinking wine!" Hu Xiao was chewing on a piece of meat, she said as she ate, "Zhi Lan, quickly get me the alcohol."
Three cups were placed in front of them, and Hu Xiao personally poured a cup of water for them.
"Come, let me toast you. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such a hearty drink." Hu Xiao was extremely generous, she said excitedly as she raised her wine cup.
It had been a long time since her mood was as cheerful as it was now. She lifted her head and drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp.
This was the first time Xue Mier was so presumptuous in front of others. In the past, whenever she drank, she would take small sips.
Seeing that Xue Mier’s actions and behavior had changed, Hu Xiao became even more excited, she patted Xue Mier’s shoulders and shouted: "Women should be like this, women have a year of pride, who says that women are men’s subordinate products, women can also be like men and do whatever they want, like now, drink in big gulps ..."
was like a chatterbox, constantly talking. These words caused a great deal of shock in Xue Mier’s heart, but when the alcohol surged, she did not think too much about it. She and Hu Xiao continued to drink cup after cup, occasionally eating some meat, and her voice gradually became rough.
Hu Xiao was very satisfied with Xue Mier’s transformation. Even though Xue Mier was her love rival, she also hoped that Xue Mier could live for her.
The women of the imperial harem only lived for the Emperor. How boring were these days!
"Hu Xiao, this is interesting, I never thought you would have such an interesting side!" Xue Mier said happily. At this time, she was almost drunk, she blinked her eyes, thinking to herself: Why are there two Hu Xiao s? free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Come back to me more often. Let’s drink together, burp ..."
The two of them seemed to have ignored Qin Shuo, and started chatting. The more they talked, the more they drank, and Xue Mier had never drank so much before, she could not help but feel intoxicated.
Hu Xiao was still not drunk, she looked at the crumbling Xue Mier, and could not help but shake her head: "Xue Mier, your alcohol tolerance is not good!"
Right after she finished speaking, a ’bang’ sound came out, and Xue Mier fell onto the table. Seeing that, Hu Xiao helplessly said, "I was just drunk, so boring, so boring!"
"Zhi Lan, carry the Imperial Consort Xue to the side hall." Hu Xiao instructed. Inadvertently, she saw the moonlight outside the window, and felt that the moon in the sky was extremely beautiful.
Suddenly, she stood up, holding the bottle as she giggled. "It’s not fun sitting in the room. It’s better to enjoy the moon."
With that, she jumped out of the window.
Qin Shuo was shocked by her careless movements. He drank well and left immediately after. He asked worriedly, "Xiao-Xiao, it’s already so late, where are you going?"
As he was speaking, he followed Hu Xiao and came out. Hu Xiao jumped up with a single leap, and landed on the roof. Seeing that, Qin Shuo frowned.
"The moonlight is really good today. Drinking here is pretty good. Do you want to come up and drink together?" Hu Xiao looked down at Qin Shuo from above and asked with a smile.
Then, she raised her head and took another sip of wine. The pure moonlight shone on her body, making her look like a fairy who had left the mortal world.
"Alright!" Qin Shuo squeezed out a word from his teeth with great difficulty and climbed onto the roof.
He raised her sleeves and slowly climbed up the pillar. Seeing his sorry state, Hu Xiao could not help but burst out laughing.
"Be careful, don’t fall down." Hu Xiao said with a teasing tone.
Just as he finished speaking, a "bang" sound came from below and, as expected, Qin Shuo fell down.
