Yi Zexuan glanced at Xue Yurou and then said, "Only you think she's cute. I'm afraid of her. She doesn't take sides. If she offends someone, I'll have to take care of it for her."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yurou covered her mouth and smiled, "It seems that unless it's something serious, Your Highness is quite capable of protecting the princess."
"I may have the ability to protect her, but she might not be smart enough to survive until I have to protect her." With that, he picked up a glass of wine from the table, watched the dance, and slowly drank it.
Xue Yurou glanced at Su Lixia, who was eating, and sighed softly. It seemed that she had overestimated this princess.
When the Queen returned to her seat, she found that the Emperor was still enjoying the song and dance performance with great interest, unaware that she had returned, or even that she had left the room.
The empress handed him a cup of wine and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, is this really that beautiful?"
The lord didn't hear it the first time; in fact, he even clapped for the high kick below.
"Your Majesty?" the Empress called him again.
But the lord didn't hear it and clapped his hands again to mark the end of the dance.
The Queen smiled and put down her wine cup. Hearing the sound, the Lord realized that she had handed him wine. The Lord's lips twitched, and he reached out and patted her shoulder.
She comforted her, saying, "Oh dear, they're performing down there. Watching them attentively is a form of respect. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Is it a form of respect to treat others as respect, or is it also a form of respect to ignore one's own wife?"
The king's lips twitched, and he said, "It is my fault, it is my fault, please forgive me, Your Majesty." After saying that, he picked up the wine cup that the queen had just put down, filled it, and cried, saying, "I will punish myself with a cup."
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
The Empress snorted, "That's more like it."
Su Lixia, who was below, would occasionally steal a glance at their actions, suppressing her laughter as she watched the show.
That's right! Isn't this more enjoyable than watching a dance?
After the banquet, the king said he had a headache and could not accompany the princess, so he asked the queen to accompany the princess to stroll around the palace.
"Princess, we'll be going back together soon. Rou'er will accompany you." Seeing that the two were about to leave, Xue Yurou stepped forward to stop them.
Upon hearing this, Su Lixia was taken aback: "You're not up to anything again, are you?"
Before Su Lixia could answer, the Empress said, "Miss Xue, don't worry, it certainly won't delay your return. If you and the Prince have nothing to do, you can go for a stroll together, and then just wait for me in my palace. You can leave the Princess to me without worry."
"This..." Xue Yurou glanced back at Yi Zexuan. If possible, of course she would choose to spend time alone with Yi Zexuan.
Yi Zexuan understood and stepped forward, saying, "Since the ministers are all here, I have some matters to discuss with them. I would also like to entrust Rou'er to the care of Her Majesty the Empress."
The Empress coughed twice, realizing she couldn't refuse, especially since she was unfamiliar with the place. So she agreed, "Alright then, Your Highness, go ahead and do your work."
"Yes." After saying that, Yi Zexuan left.
Although Xue Yurou came along, it didn't stop her from talking to Su Lixia.
"I suppose the princess is nothing special. She has seen everything in the imperial palace in the Central Plains. I will show the princess the way so that she will not get lost next time she comes."
Su Lixia smiled slightly and said, "It's not that it's strange, but I'm still very curious. After all, every place is different, and maybe your place is even more beautiful than ours. As for getting lost, maybe, but your place doesn't seem very big, so the probability of getting lost is probably not high."
Su Lixia chuckled smugly to herself, thinking, "I'm going to embarrass you so much you'll be kicking a giant castle!"
