"Since the Imperial Noble Consort is unwell, how about I, on her behalf, return the greeting to Noble Lady Miao?"
There was an uproar when these words were spoken. What kind of thing was it that the Regent blocked the drinking for the Imperial Concubine?
Even Su Yu, sitting beside him, couldn't help but frown. This Regent wanted to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, regardless of the occasion! Now that Qiao Qiao was struggling in the palace, he still acted so recklessly!
Yan Fu stared at Yan Qu intently, as if he wanted to poke two holes into him. After a while, he laughed angrily: "Good, good, good! My beloved concubine is so charming that even my uncle wants to be a hero and save her. Yu'er, why don't you quickly pay your respects to my good uncle?"
"Yes." Miao Yu glanced at Qiao Yu calmly and raised the glass to Yan Qu again: "Your Highness, please do as you please. I will drink first as a token of my respect."
When Yan Qu heard the emperor call the woman in front of him "Yu'er", his face changed. There were too many coincidences.
Next, at the emperor's signal, all the guests at the banquet toasted Yan Qu. Even the god of wine who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk would get drunk after being toasted by so many people, not to mention that Yan Qu was not good at drinking.
He didn't refuse because he had just helped Qiao Yu block the wine, and refusing now would give Qiao Yu a chance to criticize him.
After a few rounds of conversation, Yan Qu was indeed a little drunk, so he simply asked to leave first. Yan Fu waved his hand in disappointment as a sign of agreement.
Not long after Yan Qu left, Qiao Yu also stood up and wanted to leave. Unlike Yan Fu who agreed immediately as usual, no one was stupid enough to know who she was going to chase!
The wine glass in Yan Fu's hand shattered in his hand without him noticing. He glared at the woman in front of him fiercely. Miao Yu beside him immediately grabbed the man's big hand to stop him from hurting herself, exclaiming: "Your Majesty..."
The man ignored the worries and concerns of the people around him, and picked up the pot of wine on the table:
"If my beloved concubine drinks this wine, I will grant your consent, how about that?"
The man's almost childish revenge made Qiao Yu feel helpless. She looked at Yan Qu's leaving figure with pretended worry, and finally stepped forward to take it as she was about to compromise.
Miao Yu said, "Your Majesty, may I drink it on behalf of Sister Lan? Sister Lan is not feeling well, so I don't think she meant to spoil Your Majesty's mood."
The woman in gorgeous clothes couldn't hide her pale complexion even with lip balm. It was not clear whether it was his own embarrassment that made her complexion even worse. In the end, Yan Fu couldn't bear it any longer, so he stopped looking at her and said two words:
“Boring.”
Seeing this, Miao Yu hurriedly snatched the wine jug from the emperor's hand and drank it in one gulp. The strong liquor made the girl's fair skin blush.
At this time, Miao Yu felt a big hand holding her waist. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened slightly in surprise, and the man's kiss fell.
The emperor, whether due to the influence of alcohol or to anger the beautiful woman, kissed Miao Yu in his arms tenderly and affectionately, yet at the same time with great aggressiveness, he went to attack the city.
However, Qiao Yu hardly stayed for a moment. He just glanced at the two people kissing, then politely bowed and left.
After Qiao Yu left, Yan Fu pushed the girl away from him. Whether it was guilt or anger, his voice was unrecognizable. He said to Miao Yu:
"You should go down and rest too."
The girl's fair cheeks were still red from the kiss, making her look tempting to pick them up: "Yes."
Qiao Yu had just walked out of the banquet hall when she saw a man not far away.
The moonlight shone on Yan Qu's sculpture-like face. He was wearing a black robe and dancing lightly. His long black hair fluttered in the wind. There was a hint of sadness between his brows. His dark eyes were like two bottomless pools, and his pupils emitted unpredictable black shadows from time to time.
But the first time he saw Qiao Yu, the coldness in Yan Qu's eyes melted away like spring, and he was so gentle that people couldn't help but fall in love with him:
"Ayu."
The people serving Qiao Yu were very tactful and did not follow. However, there was no one around Yan Qu. Normally, at least Xin Xiao would follow.
The man was like a worm in Qiao Yu's body, and he answered first:
"I asked him to go back first. Let me hold you."
Qiao Yu didn't say anything about this, but just leaned over obediently, supporting her shoulders so that Yan Qu could lean more comfortably.
Qiao Yu could sense that the other party was really drunk. Normally, he would never ask for intimacy in front of others. He could not help but complain:
"You clearly knew you couldn't drink, so why did you bother arguing with the Emperor just now?"
The man buried his head in the girl's shoulder and said solemnly, "I can't stand him not cherishing you, so I just want to piss him off so he knows that if he doesn't cherish you, I'm ready to snatch you away at any time."
Listening to the childish words, Qiao Yu felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, maybe guilt or maybe joy, anyway, it was a mixture of all kinds of emotions, and in the end, selfishness took over everything.
"Aqu..."
The man heard Qiao Yu calling him and didn't say anything for a long time, so he responded with a nasal voice: "Hmm?"
"It would have been better if you had said this earlier..." Although Qiao Yu spoke softly, she felt the man's whole body stiffen, obviously he heard what she had just said.
But before Yan Qu could react, Qiao Yu held his face in her hands.
The faint moonlight illuminated their kiss. Perhaps because Yan Qu drank too much, even Qiao Yu felt a little tipsy.
When Yan Qu woke up that day, there was no warmth around him. The hangover gave him a terrible headache, and all the beautiful memories of last night came to his mind at once.
"Damn it." The shirtless man on the bed cursed his own behavior. He immediately got out of bed and put on his shoes when he thought of something.
Yan Qu hurried out and was just about to meet someone with a hangover soup.
"Where are you going in such a hurry? I've already asked Xin Xiao to ask for leave on your behalf."
