His Majesty rarely allows foreign officials to rest in the palace.
The only ones who have this honor are Prime Minister Lin and Jiang Siqing.
General Lu was also offered an award, but he refused, saying that he couldn't sleep well in the palace.
The emperor was neither angry nor happy, and finally waved his hand and told him to go away.
Now this new number one scholar has not yet held any official position, but he has already received such an honor.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Lin Yuzhi and Jiang Qi at the top.
Lin Yuzhi held the teacup and sipped it slowly, ignoring the gazes from people around him, looking very cold and indifferent.
Jiang Qi picked up a winter date and played with it, his mind flashing back to the day when Sheng Qingchi and Yue Lingfeng seductively behaved like that.
The princess had clearly entered the palace, but coincidentally, she and Yue Lingfeng disappeared at this moment.
The emperor has not yet punished him and has even allowed him to stay in the palace.
Stay overnight...
Thinking that the princess had boldly married General Lu, then with Yue Lingfeng...
With a "crack", Jiang Qi's eyes darkened, and the winter dates in his hand broke into pieces, and even the date pit had a crack.
Lin Yuzhi's desk was on Jiang Qi's left. He put down his teacup and said in a cold and calm tone, "Why does Lord Jiang need to vent his anger on fruit?"
Jiang Qi threw the winter dates on the table, expressionless: "Prime Minister Lin is as still as a mountain."
"You and I have both stayed in the palace before, so why should we be angry?"
Jiang Qi stood up and shook his robe: "Prime Minister Lin is right."
As he said this, he left the banquet temporarily on the pretext of paying respect.
After leaving Xinsui Garden, Jiang Qijing stood for a moment, not knowing where to go. He sighed, and his heart gradually calmed down.
If it was as he guessed, the princess would be in the harem at this moment, and ministers were not allowed to enter the harem.
He was silent for a moment, then returned to the table, sat down, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
General Lu was fine, he accepted it.
Yue Lingfeng...
He closed his eyes and poured another glass of wine.
He just likes to seduce princesses.
Lin Yuzhi sensed something was wrong with Jiang Qi. This Dali Temple Chief Justice normally never drank alcohol and would often just pretend to take a sip when picking up the wine glass, but today he actually drank several glasses.
"Master Jiang is different today than usual. He is drinking."
Jiang Qi looked at the wine glass and said, "Who knows? I don't know how to drink, so I have to learn."
Lin Yuzhi was slightly surprised: "Not really like you."
Jiang Qi nodded: "It's not like that anymore."
He just never admitted it.
"Wine is really a magical thing..." Jiang Qi drank another glass, "The princess entered the palace, but no one knows where she is, and I can't go to the harem to look for her."
When Lin Yuzhi heard this, his brows slightly frowned. The princess has entered the palace?
Similar to Jiang Qi's idea, he also guessed that Yue Lingfeng, who was not present, was probably with Wen Yu at the moment.
But he didn't think as deeply as Jiang Qishen, because he didn't know the extent of the relationship between Wen Yu and Lu Ren.
Naturally, he would not guess that Wen Yu and Yue Lingfeng were in a loving relationship.
"If that's the case, you're going to drink to drown your sorrows. I advise you not to get entangled with the princess any longer. The princess won't be the only one with you."
Jiang Qi nodded: "I know, but you don't understand."
Lin Yuzhi tapped the table with his fingertips: "I don't understand?"
"Yes, you don't understand."
Jiang Qi looked at the wine glass in his hand, then gently put it down: "I won't drink it anymore. I've tasted the wine."
As for worry, ever since the princess suddenly appeared in his world, how could he not be worried?
Lin Yuzhi listened to his riddle-like words, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
But he would never have thought that Wen Yu not only had one child but also had two.
The reason why Jiang Qi was abnormal was only because he failed to become the second one.
The emperor, who was sitting at the top, took everything in and rewarded Jiang Qi with two pots of wine.
Jiang Qi: ...
After the banquet ended, the emperor thought for a while and decided to keep Jiang Qi.
"Lord Jiang, please stay in the palace today."
This way I can be closer to my imperial sister, which is some consolation.
Jiang Qi was brought into the Xianhua Hall by palace servants. Ministers usually stayed here, and it was only a few palace walls away from the Hongde Hall where the emperor worked diligently.
He took a bath and lay down on the bed. He felt hot all over and his face was a little red.
This was his first time drinking seriously, and he still felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Qi slept soundly until midnight, when he suddenly woke up and glanced at the sky outside the window. It was still early.
But after that I couldn't fall asleep.
Although he was lying motionless on the bed with his hands placed neatly, his mind was as confused as a tangled spider thread.
He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling of the bed, a hint of obscurity flashing in his eyes.
What is the princess doing now...
I don't want to think about it, but I can't help thinking about it.
Wen Yu's naked back in Sheng Qingchi, her passionate look when she kissed him, the wet and slippery touch when she sucked him, her playful expression when she pulled his clothes and played with him...
Jiang Qi's breathing quickened slightly and he closed his eyes.
A princess with a springy face, naked body, and skin as white as cream...
The next second he jumped up suddenly, embarrassment and shock flashing across his face.
He actually blasphemed the princess like this in his mind!
Jiang Qi got out of bed, called for a tub of cold water, and soaked himself from head to toe.
It was chilly in spring and the water was so cold that an ordinary person would have been shivering with cold, but he felt he could not suppress the heat rising from his body.
He suppressed his desire, his face serious, and said in a cold voice: "According to the Dasheng law, insulting the royal family is punishable by death, and disrespecting the royal family is punishable by fifty strokes of the cane."
"Jiang Qi, go to the Dali Temple to receive your punishment."
He soaked himself in the water tank, closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
After soaking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Qi finally opened his eyes and saw a hint of pale sky.
He stood up from the water tank, changed into court robes, and went straight to the Dali Temple.
The official on duty was originally very sleepy, but when he saw Jiang Qi, his sleepiness immediately disappeared and his skin became a little tighter.
"Greetings, Lord Temple Minister. I heard that you are staying in the palace today. Why are you here to take up your duties before the shift is handed over?"
Jiang Qi said calmly: "I am here to accept the punishment."
The official was confused: "Accept, accept the punishment?"
"Yes, fifty strokes of the cane."
"What?!!!!"
At this time in the Damei Palace, Wen Yu was extremely tired, and was sleeping soundly on Yue Lingfeng's chest with great satisfaction.
