"Cousin Yun Liu, you are still in the capital?"

Concubine Xiao showed a happy smile on her face, and quickly stepped forward to hold Yun Liu's hand, saying with a smile: "I thought you had returned to the northwest a long time ago."

“I was going to go back.”

Yun Liu glanced at his cousin the Crown Prince and pretended to be helpless and said, "But it's rare for my cousin the Crown Prince to host a banquet for me, so of course I have to stay and join in the fun."

"Besides, I also brought a birthday gift for Xiaoxiao."

As he spoke, Yun Liu handed the gift box in his hand to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, happy birthday."

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly took it and thanked him: "Thank you, cousin Yun Liu."

Yun Liu: "These are just some little gadgets I brought back from the northwest. I wonder if you will like them."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "I like whatever my cousin Yun Liu gives me."

Yun Liu was immediately amused by her.

Concubine Xiao was jealous on purpose: "Does Sister Lu like the birthday gift I gave her?"

Lu Xiaoxiao said without hesitation: "Of course I like it."

Concubine Xiao covered her lips and chuckled: "Then Sister Lu can't be partial to one and ignore the other."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[I never thought that the concubine's jealousy would be even greater than that of Your Highness! ]

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly.

Concubine Xiao wanted to laugh, but subconsciously held it back.

Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed lightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Qiuyuan and Meng Huaijun both handing over birthday gifts. "This is a birthday gift for Lu Liangyuan."

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately looked at the two of them. She blinked, then turned her head to look at Xie Xi.

Xie Xi noticed her gaze and nodded, taking it. "Sorry for the trouble."

"When you go to a banquet, you should bring a gift."

Bai Qiuyuan said in a calm tone.

Meng Huaijun agreed: "Master Bai is right."

Seeing this scene, Emperor Li suddenly looked thoughtful.

Only the Queen noticed.

She pursed her lips lightly, frowned slightly, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Because of the presence of His Majesty and the Queen, everyone who came to the banquet still seemed a little restrained and cautious, and could not completely let go.

After a while, the kitchen started serving dishes and the banquet was set up. Men and women sat at separate tables. After three rounds of wine, Emperor Li proposed to return to the palace with the Queen first.

Xie Xi and everyone else stood up to see him off respectfully.

As soon as the emperor and empress left, the atmosphere instantly became a lot lighter.

"Your Highness, His Majesty and the Queen have returned to the palace, why hasn't he left yet?"

Lu Xiaoxiao's alcohol tolerance was very low. After only a small drink, she started to feel dizzy. Her round almond-shaped eyes darted around and immediately fixed on the young eunuch standing not far away.

She remembered that the little eunuch had clearly come here with the Emperor and the Empress.

Why doesn't he have to leave?

Hearing this, Xie Xi looked up.

Seeing the drunk Lu Xiaoxiao, Xie Xi, who was still talking to Lord Bai, said goodbye to him before standing up and walking to Lu Xiaoxiao's side.

There was a faint smell of alcohol emanating from her. Xie Xi frowned imperceptibly and lowered his eyes to look at the wine glass on the table. It was empty.

Xie Xi: "Xiao Xiao, why are you drinking?"

"what?"

Lu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and stared at him.

Xie Xi: “…”

Concubine Xiao and Yun Liu looked at each other quickly, and neither of them dared to say a word.

After all, they coaxed Lu Xiaoxiao into drinking that glass of wine.

But they didn't know that Lu Xiaoxiao's alcohol tolerance was so shallow that she was drunk after just one glass.

Madam Zhai seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

The Third Prince's wife chuckled, "Today is Lu Liangyuan's birthday, so it's okay to let her have a drink. Why is Your Highness so nervous? Besides, everyone here is familiar to her. Lu Liangyuan is so well-behaved, so she probably won't get drunk and go crazy."

"Your Highness, rest assured."

"I can't handle the alcohol, I'm really worried."

As he spoke, Xie Xi gave Guard Mu Qing a look and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup."

If I don’t drink the sobering soup, I’m afraid I’ll have a headache.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Mu Qing nodded and left.

"What kind of soup?"

Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead, feeling more and more dizzy, and suddenly fell backwards. Fortunately, Xie Xi had been paying attention to her and reached out to hold her in time.

Lu Xiaoxiao was completely drunk and passed out.

Concubine Xiao, Yun Liu: "..."

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually picked up Lu Liangyuan in front of everyone, the Third Prince's wife was startled and subconsciously looked towards Concubine Xiao.

She thought she would see Concubine Xiao's face was ugly and she would regard Lu Liangyuan as a thorn in her side, but she never expected that she would see a trace of worry in Concubine Xiao's eyes? ?

The Third Prince’s wife was speechless for a moment:?

Concubine Xiao is worried about Lu Liangyuan! ? ?

Isn't Concubine Xiao afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cares about Lu Liangyuan?

Or is it that Concubine Xiao has hidden thoughts deeply?
