After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

"Miss, wake up, wake up, the prince is watching you." The maid Rong Ruo anxiously shook Shangguan Qing's body, trying to make her wake up as soon as possible.

"Does your young lady usually not drink at all? She just drank a small cup of wine last night, that's all. How is she going to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Empress later?" Mei Xichen shook his head helplessly as he sat on a chair beside him.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. My lady normally doesn't drink a drop of alcohol, but I didn't expect that she would get so drunk after just one glass of alcohol."

"I will think of another way. Please don't blame my young lady, Your Highness." Rong Ruo seemed to have thought of a solution and hurried out of the house.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy to have you two by my side." Shangguan Qing muttered in a daze.

Mei Xichen, who was sitting next to her, saw that she seemed to be waking up, so he walked up to her and patted her.

"Shangguan Qing, wake up, are you dreaming?"

"What kind of dream can make you so beautiful?" Mei Xichen looked at her with disdain.

"But it's true that the daughter of the Minister of Personnel is a peerless beauty. It's worth my effort to marry you." Mei Xichen smiled secretly with pride.

Just one year ago, a guild hall suddenly appeared in Kyoto, filled with daughters of high-ranking officials who recited poems and composed couplets. Even the most powerful sons of wealthy families and royal relatives were not allowed to set foot in this guild hall.

This guild hall was founded by Shangguan Qing, the only daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Later, Mei Xichen heard that there was a beautiful and talented woman in this guild hall who was not only good at reciting poems and composing couplets, but was also proficient in playing various musical instruments and singing. However, what made her famous was her skill in writing storybooks.

The young men and women in Kyoto City loved to read her storybooks, so many rich girls often went to this guild hall, but men were not allowed to enter this guild hall.

Because Shangguan Qing was born with a beautiful, elegant and refined appearance, a rare beauty in the world, many rich young men had to disguise themselves as women and sneak into the guild hall to catch a glimpse of Shangguan Qing's peerless beauty, but no one succeeded.

After that, some rich girl painted a portrait of Shangguan Qing with her amazing brush. For a while, every street and alley in Kyoto was selling portraits of a beautiful woman. Mei Xichen happened to pass by there and saw it by accident.

So he ordered Xu Mo to check the identity of the woman in the painting. Only then did he realize that the portrait was of Shangguan Qing, the only daughter of Shangguan Lang, the Minister of Personnel, who was seventeen years old and still unmarried.

Mei Xichen was secretly happy when he heard the news, so he told his father that he intended to marry Shangguan Qing as his princess, and asked his father to arrange a chance for them to meet.

The emperor loved his son very much. Over the years, he had never seen his son have any interest in the daughter of an official family, so he agreed very readily.

The emperor invited all the ministers and relatives to meet and enjoy the beautiful scenery during the Lantern Festival. However, Shangguan Qing did not like to be in the spotlight. She just wanted to focus on her own affairs, so she made an excuse not to attend.

This immediately angered the hot-tempered prince.

At this time, Shangguan Qing didn't know that this time she had offended the person she should never have offended in her life.

Mei Xichen was very angry when she saw Shangguan Qing did not come, so she asked her father to directly issue an order to grant the marriage.

When the imperial edict arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, Shangguan Qing seemed to realize that she had made a big mistake. She wanted to refuse, but disobeying the imperial edict would result in the death of all nine generations of her family. After her father and mother's strong persuasion, Shangguan Qing reluctantly agreed.

Until the wedding night, Guan Qing and Mei Xichen did not know each other. It was only when they drank the wedding wine at the end that they saw each other for the first time.

When Mei Xichen saw Shangguan Qing, his eyes suddenly lit up. Shangguan Qing was even more beautiful than the woman in the painting. She was simply a rare beauty in the world.

Then he picked up the wine glass, filled it with wine and drank the wine together with Shangguan Qing. However, Shangguan Qing didn't know how to drink at all and fell to the ground immediately.

Helplessly, Mei Xichen had to carry Shangguan Qing to the bed. At this time, there was a knock on the door, asking Mei Xichen to go and drink with them. He looked at Shangguan Qing on the bed and it seemed that he would not wake up for a while, so he walked out of the room and asked the maid Rong Ruo to take good care of him.

At 9:00 p.m. the next day, when Mei Xichen came back from the study, he saw the maid Rong Ruo still calling Shangguan Qing beside the bed. At this time, Shangguan Qing was talking in her sleep and laughing non-stop for some reason.

After a while, Rong Ruo brought a basin of cold water and gently sprayed it on Shangguan Qing's face. He then shook her arm and shouted, "Miss, wake up quickly. The prince is watching you." Rong Ruo continued to call Shangguan Qing in her ear.

About another cup of tea later, Shangguan Qing slowly opened her eyes. She looked around in a daze. Why wasn't this the room I lived in?

She looked to her right again and saw Mei Xichen sitting upright in a chair looking at her.

"Xichen, why has my palace changed? Is this what it looks like after the renovation?" Shangguan Qing slowly stood up and sat up. She looked at the furnishings in the surrounding rooms in confusion and frowned.

"No, my room is not like this." She pinched her forehead and looked at Rong Ruo. She was a little conscious at this time, but not much.

She hugged Rong Ruo and said excitedly: "Rong Ruo, you are resurrected again? You are not dead? This is great."

"Miss, what are you talking about? Did you drink too much last night? You are just talking drunkenly. When did I die?" Rong Ruo looked at Shangguan Qing and then looked at Mei Xichen with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my young lady must not be awake yet. Why don't you go to the hall and wait for a while. I will help her wash up, and then I will come to you."

"No need. I am very interested in my princess. I want to see what else she can say." Mei Xichen poured a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.

Shangguan Qing staggered in front of Mei Xichen.

"Xichen, why is your attitude different from usual?" Shangguan Qing's words were enough to prove that she had not yet awakened from her dream.

"Miss, what are you talking about? What about usual..." Rong Ruo hurriedly stopped her for fear that she would say something disrespectful.

"Shut up and go away." Mei Xichen glanced at Rong Ruo and said.

"Yes, Your Highness." Rong Ruo had no choice but to retreat.

"Qing'er, come and sit next to me. Tell me how I treat you normally?" Mei Xichen's tone became gentler. She took Shangguan Qing's hand and let her sit next to her.

Shangguan Qing shook her head, as if her eyes were not fully open yet. She smiled and said to Mei Xichen, "You are usually very gentle, and you don't have a bad temper. Even when Shu Rong and I were together, you were not angry at all."

"Oh, then can you tell me who Shu Rong is? How do we get along with each other on a daily basis?" Mei Xichen touched Shangguan Qing's face and took the opportunity to find out the secret in Shangguan Qing's heart.

"Xichen, have you forgotten everything? You must have drunk too much. He is your love rival." Shangguan Qing said with a foolish smile.

"Well, I know he is my love rival. Maybe I really drank too much and can't remember some of it. Qing'er, tell me what happened between the three of us."

"Okay, let me first tell you how I conspired to marry you..."
