"Your Majesty the Empress," Qiu Ci whispered a reminder, and only then did Shen Ye realize her rudeness.
"Your Majesty, I am late. Please punish me."
"How could I bear to punish you? Please take a seat," Gu Qimu said with a smile, as if he doted on his empress.
Shen Ye wisely sat down next to Gu Qimu, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at Gu Qichen below.
He's still as handsome as ever, and as irresistibly charming as ever!
Those who could appear here were all members of the royal family, and judging from the order of their seating, it wasn't hard to guess their status in Gu Qimu's heart.
"Host, don't forget your main quest. If you want to complete the quest and resurrect, stop thinking about these trivial things."
Shen Ye stared blankly at Gu Qichen, at his outrageously handsome face, swallowed hard, and completely forgot about the system's words.
Gu Qimu suddenly wrapped his arm around Shen Ye's waist and whispered in his ear, "You've got your eye on someone?"
Shen Ye then came to his senses and coughed lightly, "What is Your Majesty saying?"
"The Empress should know very well what I'm saying," Gu Qimu said, his tone laced with undisguised danger.
Just then, the Fourteenth Prince suddenly raised his cup to Shen Ye and said, "Your Majesty, I toast you, wishing you to give birth to an imperial heir for His Majesty soon."
"Fourteenth Brother, Her Majesty the Empress cannot drink alcohol." Gu Qichen's magnetic voice suddenly rang out, because he had figured out all of his preferences during their time together.
"Sixth Brother, how did you know that Her Majesty the Empress can't drink alcohol?" The Thirteenth Prince grinned mischievously at Chen Ye.
"As the head of the six palaces, Your Majesty should naturally prioritize your health. Alcohol is harmful to your health, so Your Majesty should not drink."
Seeing how carefully Gu Qichen treated Shen Ye, Gu Qimu felt very unhappy. He had heard that his younger brother and his woman were getting close, but he didn't believe it at first. Now it seemed that it was all true.
"Bring the Empress a pot of Jade Spring Dew; she won't drink anything else." Gu Qimu's voice was filled with danger.
Gu Qimu did it on purpose; he knew perfectly well that Shen Ye didn't drink a drop of alcohol.
"Bring two jugs. The Empress has a large capacity for alcohol; one jug won't be enough," Gu Qimu added.
Shen Ye glared at Gu Qimu, gritting his teeth. Was he going to torture him to death tonight?
"Heavens, Your Majesty's sister-in-law has such a high alcohol tolerance?" the seventeenth prince, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
Gu Qimu wrapped his arms around Shen Ye's waist, pecked him on the cheek, and whispered through gritted teeth in his ear, "Don't forget our cooperation. Haven't I been good to you?"
The word 'cooperation' brought Shen Ye back to reality. People like Gu Qichen are only suitable for collecting, while Gu Qimu is the goal of his life.
"Your Majesty is so good to me." Shen Ye forced a smile and said loudly, making sure everyone present could hear her.
Gu Qimu nodded in satisfaction, his slender fingers gliding across his cheek. "If I don't treat you well, who else should I treat well?"
That's so wonderful, it's so touching.
emmmm
Gu Qimu personally poured Shen Ye a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Come, Empress, your sweet spring 'dew'."
Gan Quan Lu is very strong; you don't feel anything when you first drink it, but the effects only kick in after you've swallowed it.
Gu Qimu revealed a charming cold smile and poured one glass after another for Shen Ye, "Good boy, drink more."
Since his memories were erased by the system, Shen Ye has stopped drinking alcohol, so even the best wine tastes like swill to him, making him want to vomit.
Shen Ye looked at Gu Qimu with a mournful expression. "So what if you've taken a liking to your brother? Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"
