He did it calmly, and Xiao Rui raised his head and drank the wine mixed with the drunken pills.
Realizing that Qu Li was peeking at him, he raised his eyebrows and gave Qu Li a rather handsome wink.
Qu Li almost vomited because of his actions.
She quickly turned her face away, patted her chest, and suppressed the nausea rising in her stomach.
Xiao Rui's eyes darkened slightly.
If he had known that Qu Li was so beautiful and charming, he would have tried every possible means to get her.
Seeing her patting her chest, his pupils constricted.
Could it be that...
Are you pregnant?
Impossible!
Xiao Xian only loves Bai Fengyao, and is blamed by his father for this.
However, he is also a man and knows that sometimes it has nothing to do with love. It would be strange if Xiao Xian could control himself facing such a beautiful face all day long!
The more he thought about it, the faster the blood flowed throughout his body.
At this time, Changle was following the Grand Princess to present birthday gifts to the Empress Dowager. Xiao Rui's sudden standing up made everyone's expression change several times.
"Fourth Brother, what's wrong with you?" Kangdi asked loudly, with a frightening depth in his eyes.
Xiao Rui shook his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He usually has a very good alcohol tolerance, so even if the wine in the palace is fine wine, he won't get drunk after a few drinks.
"But have you drunk too much? If so, let the eunuch find a side hall for you to rest!"
In front of Xiao Rui's eyes, two Kangdi gradually appeared, then four, eight... He was so dizzy that he felt terrible.
"Someone, send the Fourth Prince to the side hall to rest!" Emperor Kang said with a stern face.
Xiao Rui's biological mother, Concubine Yi, felt ashamed, and since she was very far away from Emperor Kang, she could only ask the first-class palace maid beside her to keep a close eye on him.
The eunuchs helped Xiao Rui away, but Xiao Rui yelled and knocked several eunuchs to the ground.
"This prince is not drunk! You rootless people, don't touch this prince!"
Xiao Rui staggered, pointing at several eunuchs who fell to the ground, and swearing at them.
All the court officials were stunned.
"Could it be that this Fourth Prince has been cursed? He used to be as gentle as jade, always polite to everyone he met!"
"Hush! Stop talking, or you might offend the Emperor!"
"Fourth Prince, you've drunk too much!"
Eunuch Fu, the chief eunuch beside Emperor Kang, stepped forward, grabbed his arm, secretly mobilized his internal strength, and tried to take him away by force.
Xiao Rui tried to break free but failed, and anger quickly spread across his flushed face.
"Let go of me, you bastard! I can walk on my own!" Xiao Rui's face was grim. "I've edited classics and historical records before. My father was pleased and praised me for my profound knowledge. He said that the literary world would surely flourish because of this book! But why didn't he confer the title of prince on me? Hiccup~~"
Concubine Yi turned pale with fear, fearing he would say more outrageous words. She immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The Fourth Prince is drunk. I will personally escort him away."
There was a low pressure around Emperor Kang, and the Empress Dowager's face did not look very good either.
The Queen took the opportunity to taunt him, "How arrogant! As a prince, you should help the Emperor solve his problems! You want to be crowned a king just for compiling a few historical books? If the Fourth Prince wants to be crowned a king so badly, he can either lead his own troops and earn it, or let the Emperor make him a prince!"
Concubine Yi felt so guilty that she wished a crack could appear on the ground.
"The Empress is right! I will definitely give the Fourth Prince a good lecture!"
The queen withdrew her mocking gaze and returned to her noble, dignified and inviolable appearance.
Qu Li frowned and looked at Xiao Xian meaningfully.
Xiao Xian shook his wine glass, his face calm and composed.
Just now, the Queen clearly used Xiao Xian as a pretext, wanting Xiao Rui and Concubine Yi to hate Xiao Xian.
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!" Xiao Xian uttered in a low voice.
Qu Li raised his eyebrows, "It looks like your life isn't that easy either!"
Xiao Xian didn't care about the sarcasm in Qu Li's words at all, "Will the imperial physician find out about that thing?"
"Of course not!"
Anything produced by Space must be of the highest quality!
Xiao Rui was sealed in the mute point by Eunuch Fu and forcibly taken away.
Changle withdrew her surprised gaze and said a few auspicious words to the Empress Dowager before returning to her seat with the Grand Princess.
Civil and military officials came forward one after another to present birthday gifts, and the Empress Dowager looked a little listless.
Emperor Kang was extremely filial. Seeing this, he immediately asked with concern, "Mother, has your headache come back?"
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired!"
"In that case, I will let them proceed to the next step!"
Emperor Kang called Eunuch Lai Fu and whispered a few words to him. Soon, the dancers came on stage. Their graceful figures were like blooming roses, forming a unique scene in the imperial garden.
Xiao Xian has never been interested in these things. He glanced at Qu Li out of the corner of his eye.
Qu Li muttered, "This Queen Mother's birthday banquet is so boring! Is it just singing and dancing like this?"
"There should be performances from young masters and young ladies later!"
Qu Li frowned impatiently.
The entertainment in ancient times was really monotonous and boring.
In modern times, although she spends most of her time treating patients and saving lives, she is not completely without entertainment.
If she slightly improves modern poker and mahjong and brings them here, she should be able to make a fortune, right?
Xiao Xian didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her eyes sparkling, he was attracted by her for a moment.
"Since we are partners now, you wouldn't mind collaborating on a few more things, right?"
"oh?"
"I'll tell you when we get back!"
Qu Li supported his chin with one hand and went over in his mind what he was going to do next. He felt that there was no problem at all, so he grabbed a snack and stuffed it into his mouth in a very good mood.
A young eunuch walked up to Eunuch Fu in fear and trepidation and whispered something to him. Even Eunuch Fu, who was usually calm in emergencies, couldn't help but change his expression.
He raised his eyes, glanced at Emperor Kang who was sitting on the dragon throne, hesitated for a moment, and walked forward.
Kangdi's frown deepened.
"Since you're here, let's announce it!"
The Queen asked in a low voice, and Emperor Kangdi leaned over to whisper to her, and the Queen's eyes were full of disgust and disdain.
The court officials secretly observed the interaction between the emperor and the empress, and their hearts were all in suspense.
The daughters of wealthy families who were performing their talents on stage were also extremely nervous because of the overwhelming pressure, and some of them twisted their ankles or played the wrong notes.
Kangdi simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave first.
The next performer was Qu Qing. Seeing Kangdi's gloomy face, she felt that no matter what happened, she would not end up well.
I had planned to shine today, but who could have expected that something unexpected would happen!
Just as my thoughts were in a mess, I caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking in from the entrance of the Imperial Garden.
