Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"They are different. A bewitching demon is a demon that always takes human form. A fox spirit is a fox that has cultivated into a spirit." Gu Yue let him touch him. "A fox spirit doesn't necessarily absorb human essence, it can also cultivate on its own. But a bewitching demon feeds on human body fluids."

Gu Xu wondered, should he secretly breathe a sigh of relief?

"Are these... monsters all familiar to you?" Gu Xu asked tentatively.

"No, most of them are folk tales, and some of them are made up by me." Gu Yue felt his ears getting hot, "How can I know these? They are not true."

Gu Xu began to speculate in his mind.

"By the way." Gu Yue took out a small jar from under the table.

"What is this?" Gu Xu saw that this thing looked like a wine jar.

"Mulberry wine." Gu Yue said stealthily like a thief, "Try it quickly, there's only a little bit. It would be terrible if they snatch it away."

Gu Yue poured some into his cup and poured some for himself.

"This grain wine is not spicy. I added some fruit to it. It's okay to drink a little." Gu Yue comforted himself.

The two raised their glasses and clinked them under the moonlight.

"It will definitely get better in the future." Gu Yue said with a smile and drank the wine in the glass.

"So sweet!" Gu Yue smacked his lips. He added rock sugar, and these ancient mulberries were extremely sweet. One bite made his throat choke.

"Well...don't add sugar." Gu Xu commented.

It was a small jar, and the two of them drank a cup each and finished it.

"If it fails, I might as well make it into jam." Gu Yue muttered.

Gu Xu looked at him with a smile, and the man's eyes became unfocused.

You can't drink that?

Gu Yue said: "Forget about tonight. I have a meeting tomorrow..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Gu Yue slumped down on the table.

Gu Xu pinched his ear again.

"What's wrong?" Shi San came over immediately and tried to smell Gu Yue's breath.

"You're drunk! Come here! What are you doing?" Wu Huo dragged Shi San away. This guy! He has no manners!

"Have you finished eating? It's almost time to go back." Gu Xu said.

The yard was a mess, with wine jars and wine jar fragments everywhere. The children playing in the mud had turned into mud figures. Lu Junmei raised a broom to beat them, but Feng Laoshi tried to stop her. Wu Guo also had mud all over his legs. He grabbed one with each hand, looked at Lu Junmei with tears in his eyes and acted like a spoiled child to prevent the two children from getting beaten.

Chai Gui was also scolded by He Gui.

There was only soup left on the table, and half a basket of steamed buns. The wine was all gone.

"It's almost midnight, we can't keep messing around." Wu Yan's face turned a little red, but his eyes were still clear.

Someone has to be in charge.

The drunken Wulinwufeng, Shisi and Shiwu were carried into the side room of the martial arts hall. The slightly tipsy Lu Junmei and her husband drove the two mud monkeys, while He Gui grabbed Chaigui and prepared to go home.

Shi San and Wu Yan escorted Gu Yue and Gu Xu back to the courtyard in Yishan.

Once we entered the mountain, the surroundings immediately became quiet. The sound of fireworks outside was completely blocked out, leaving only the chirping of insects.

Gu Xu and Shi San carried the sleeping Gu Yue to the kang bed. Two guards stayed in the side room to keep watch, while Gu Xu burned wormwood to repel mosquitoes and hung it on the window.

He sat on the kang bed and stared at Gu Yue in the darkness.

Will this person reveal his true colors after getting drunk?

The pool outside reflected the moonlight, with the full moon sinking to the bottom of the pool, sparkling.

Gu Xu simply pulled open Gu Yue's clothes and looked at his chest in the moonlight.

The red mole is still there.

I put my hand over it and heard a strong heartbeat from underneath.

……

Luoyang.

The Mid-Autumn family banquet in the imperial city was held as scheduled.

The rituals and music started from the early morning of the 15th day. In the morning, they worshipped their ancestors and had a small banquet at noon. In the afternoon, they worshipped the moon, which started at 11:00 and ended when the moon reached the zenith. The emperor and empress then changed into different dresses and went to the evening banquet.

The night banquet was held in the Guanfeng Hall of Shangyang Palace. Due to the good harvest in the first half of the year, the banquet was extremely grand, and the palace was full of people inside and outside. Although men and women sat on the left and right, there was no obstruction in the middle, and many nobles took the opportunity to get closer to them and secretly see what the boys and girls they were interested in looked like and behaved.

There were undercurrents among the ministers, but no one would blatantly break the rules, so the entire night banquet went on in an orderly manner.

The most prominent among them was the eldest princess Qin Zhaohong, the head of the female family.

The eldest princess has no title and has never been married. It is said that she has been practicing in seclusion under the tutelage of Master Qingxu for several years, and her state of mind is different from that of ordinary people. Now that I have seen her true appearance, she is indeed elegant, beautiful, and harmonious and natural in her behavior.

A strange woman was sitting in the seat of close ministers behind her.

She was not a princess, nor a noble lady. She looked only 13 or 14 years old, still a little girl, but she had a stunning appearance and a cold and aloof temperament. The eldest princess seemed to favor her.

Sitting on the minister's seat near the entrance of the hall, the head of the Yu family was already sweating profusely.

This evil girl!

He had no idea when he had married the eldest princess or when she would return to the capital!

His eyes met with his step-wife sitting opposite him, and both husband and wife looked shocked.

However, Yu Weishuang's presence did not cause any waves. The emperor naturally did not take such a girl seriously and only regarded her as Qin Zhaohong's maid. The father and daughter said some caring words, and the eldest princess's return to the court passed in a dull manner.

The emperor turned the topic to Qin Zhaoning: "Third brother, you have been confined to the mansion to copy scriptures recently. What have you gained?"

Qin Zhaoning stood up and said, "Father, I have copied the sutra ten times and my heart has indeed calmed down a lot."

"You are very good. The Queen Mother also said that you are quite filial." The Emperor was relieved and praised him, "You are not young either, and more ambitious than your second brother. I would like to arrange for you to enter the Ministry of Rites for some training."

Qin Zhaoning said in surprise: "Thank you, father! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The emperor said, "You should especially take good care of your own house. Today we are reunited, I don't want to say more, you know what's going on."

"Yes, son, I understand." Qin Zhaoning knew very well what the emperor was referring to.

Wen Qing also attended the banquet.

He had just been "punished" by Qin Zhaoning with a stick, so he could no longer sit behind the Third Prince, so Liu Fei took his place. The seat near the wall made it easy for him to leave.

This was a family dinner, and the rules were relaxed, so his departure did not alarm anyone.

Wen Qing stopped at a place on the corridor connected to the Guanfeng Palace where the guards were less guarded.

It was quiet all around, with no one around.

Wen Qing stood in the shadow of the eaves, saying nothing, as if waiting for something.

Not long after, a man wrapped in a black cloak quietly appeared. When he saw Wen Qing, he teased, "It seems that the injuries Qin Zhaoning gave you have all healed?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Wen Qing said coldly.

"Why, you still dare to meet me? Isn't Qin Zhaoning still suspicious of you?" the man in black said with a smile.

"He is busy trying to please the emperor, how can he care about me?" Wen Qing said coldly, "It is better not to mention such a fool."

"Do you want to act now?" The man in black handed him a bamboo tube. "Now is not a good time."
