All living beings are enshrined, and the world is at peace.

In order to celebrate the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people in the Da'an Dynasty, the current emperor issued a decree three days ago, ordering all departments to cooperate and make sure to hold the Dragon Boat Festival dinner.

All the divisions had been racking their brains for this matter, but now that the emperor opened his mouth, the original enthusiasm immediately increased to twelve points, and even the imperial dining room, which had never had much sense of presence, became nervous.

On the day of the banquet, Guan Xiaoxian was transferred back to the imperial dining room to help out as expected. Along the way, he felt as if he had stepped on cotton candy, and his feet were soft.

When Qiao Xie reminded him earlier, Guan Xiaoxian seemed to feel something, and at the same time, there was still a glimmer of hope deep in his heart, thinking what if this day could pass safely?

The current situation does not allow him to take chances anymore.

Guan Xiaoxian followed behind the little eunuch who came to deliver the message, and soon stepped into the threshold of the imperial dining room.

As soon as he walked to the door, Guan Xiaoxian saw figures flashing past the door carrying kitchen knives or serving plates. As soon as he entered the door, it was like walking into a noisy vegetable market——

The chefs in the imperial dining room twisted their short and fat bodies and walked between the stoves, dexterously holding the pots and spoons and waving them around. The sizzling sound and the sound of the knife touching the chopping board combined together, boiling back to the sky.

Guan Xiaoxian, who has been very leisurely since he entered the duty room of the imperial army, was dumbfounded. Suddenly, a familiar face floated in front of his eyes. Guan Xiaoxian quickly reached out and grabbed him:

"father!"

Hearing the sound, Guan Dahai turned his head dullly, revealing a pair of dark circles under his eyes that were almost as if they had been wiped from a pot.

Although Dahai was still a little unbelievable at first, he rubbed his eyelids, opened his eyes again, and after confirming that the person standing in front of him was indeed his son, a smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"Xiao Xian, why are you here?"

Guan Qingxian noticed the unignorable exhaustion on Guan Dahai's face, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of how much preparations the other party had made for today's dinner, so he said slowly:

"Didn't the Imperial Dining Room transfer me here? I heard from my father-in-law that you don't have enough manpower here..."

As he said that, Guan Xiaoxian turned around casually, but saw that there was nothing behind him, and the little father-in-law who brought him just now had quietly left at some point.

Guan Xiaoxian didn't care, but when he turned around, he was startled by Guan Dahai's sudden bright expression.

"Are you here to help in the Imperial Dining Room?"

Guan Xiaoxian saw that the tiredness on Guan Haihai's face was gone, and his eyes were fixed on him with a bright light, as if as long as he nodded, the other party would immediately pounce on him.

Although he felt a slight chill on his back, facing his own father, Guan Xiaoxian nodded honestly, and the next second, regrets flooded his heart, because Guan Xiaoxian saw Guan Haihai's eyes opened wider and wider. Da, along with his excitement, he couldn't hold back his loud and high-pitched voice——

"Old Zhang! Come quickly! Take this newcomer to fight, hurry up!"

-

The hustle and bustle of the day faded away.

The civil and military officials who were arguing about state affairs in the court naturally did not know the hard work that the various divisions in the palace had put in for this banquet.

At the end of the moon, everything is ready. In the magnificent Qionglou Yuyu, the emperor sits at the head and is worshiped by all the officials. After singing and dancing, plates of exquisite dishes are presented to the palace.

Qiao Xie enjoyed the official position of military officer, so he should sit with all the ministers logically, but as the commander of the imperial army, he also took on the duty of patrolling and guarding the palaces, so he stood in front of the imperial court according to the usual practice.At this moment, his pair of eagle eyes exuded a sharp light, and he was always paying attention to the situation in all parts of the hall.

A group of palace people came in in an orderly manner, put down the dishes, and filed out again. All the subtle sounds were covered by the sound of the piano. When the officials laughed and chatted, they didn't pay any attention to the coming and going of these palace people. Naturally, I didn't notice that when the last group of palace people entered with dishes in their hands, a young eunuch led Guan Xiaoxian, wrapped in this light red dress, into the gate of the palace, along the path of faint candlelight behind the beams and pillars. Go to the hall.

Qiao Xie's eyes followed Guan Xiaoxian's progress, but his peripheral vision calmly glanced at the old emperor behind him, and his heart sank.

Above the main hall, cups of wine were mixed, and the old emperor squinted his dazed eyes and looked at the ministers who were laughing and chatting happily, and suddenly said:

"Today's dish—"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the music played by the musicians in the hall weakened immediately, and the dancers danced lightly, their postures were more light and agile, not abrupt, and it was just right for the officials to hear the voice of the old emperor.

After everyone turned around, the old emperor nodded and said with a smile:

"--good."

The chief eunuch on the side immediately said in a drake voice:

"The sage has a reward! A cup of free Yuye wine to the imperial dining room!"

Who is Guan Xiaoxian?

All the ministers below were at a loss, only the eighth prince Jing Xi, who was sitting close to the emperor, frowned slightly.

The Holy Majesty personally ordered, and immediately a young eunuch walked towards Guan Xiaoxian with a tray carrying wine glasses.

Quite a few people cast their eyes over curiously, but saw that the little eunuch didn't even stop for a moment, walked around the steps quickly, and plunged headlong into the dark beams and pillars.

As for the "Guan Xiaoxian" that Shang Sheng said, not even a single hair was exposed.

Guan Xiaoxian didn't know how many people outside were curious about him, since he entered the hall, his mind was full of doubts, and when he heard that the emperor wanted to reward him, it was even more like a dream, and he couldn't figure it out.

No... the dishes are made by the Imperial Dining Room, and he is the one who starts the fire and chops the vegetables, so why should he be rewarded?

More importantly, how would the emperor know such a nobody like him?

My mind was still confused, the little eunuch who was presenting the wine had already arrived in front of me, Guan Xiaoxian looked at the exquisite wine glass with silver patterns on the gold background, just stretched out his hand, but before touching it, he was suddenly slapped on the hand, Guan Xiaoxian raised his head , and saw that the other party was holding the tray without moving, and his eyes and mouth made concerted efforts towards the back.

Guan Xiaoxian felt baffled, before turning his head around, he looked at the winking little eunuch, suddenly reached out and snatched the wine glass, and drank it in front of the little eunuch like a demonstration.

As soon as the wine entered the throat, it slid down the base of the tongue and into the stomach, and the spicy and stimulating taste followed afterward, spreading along the place where the wine flowed, and even though the leisurely mouth was numb, a burst of heat rushed to the head, He couldn't help squinting his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After opening his eyes, he saw the little eunuch staring at him with wide eyes.

"Thank you!" The little eunuch was afraid of implicating himself, so he could only remind him in a low voice.

Feeling drunk, Guan Xiaoxian felt his head suddenly sinking. When he heard the little eunuch's words, he let out a "oh" in a daze. After two seconds, he slowly nodded towards the void. His voice was not much louder than the little eunuch's reminder. :

"Thank... Thank you, the emperor, for the reward!"

The old emperor squinted his eyes and said nothing, as if he didn't hear it. Seeing this, the little eunuch hurriedly led Guan Xiaoxian back from the original road.

The music resounded over the hall again.

Standing beside the old emperor, Qiao Xie caught a glimpse of Guan Xiaoxian's feet swaying, and was almost pushed out of the hall by the little eunuch. He couldn't help but want to laugh, but soon, the old emperor's hoarse voice came from behind:

"Every time there is a big banquet, Qiao Qing is busy with his duties, so he can't sit down and drink a glass of imperial wine. Today, I specially allow you to indulge yourself once."

As early as when the emperor opened his mouth, another young eunuch presenting wine appeared in Qiaoxie's sight, as if he had planned it long ago.

Qiao Xie lowered his head to suppress the smile in his eyes, and when he turned around, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

-

After being pushed out of the hall door by the little eunuch, Guan Xiaoxian stumbled a few steps, leaving the bustle of the hall behind.

He stood in front of the hall and looked around in a daze. There were dark corridors on the left and right. The dark red beams and pillars were covered by the night, making them look as dark as blood. Only the door behind him shone with warm light.

Guan Qingxian stared at the gate of the palace for a few seconds, then walked back, but before he got close, he was stopped by two guards beside the gate.The little eunuch who sent him out just now slipped out and looked at him helplessly, then turned his head and gave a few words to the guards.

Although Xiaoxian couldn't hear it clearly, he saw the little eunuch turn around and leave, the two guards looked at each other, gathered around, took him away from the palace gate, and pushed him far away.

"Go, go, go!"

A guard waved impatiently.

Guan Xiaoxian, who was drunk, also seemed to see that these two people were not easy to mess with, so he turned around and walked through the bushes into the woods.

The cool night wind swept away the remaining alcohol smell in the air, and the leaves rustled as they rubbed against each other.

Not long after, a snow-white shadow that was also very conspicuous in the night led another person to the side of the woods.

The Eighth Prince Jing Xi finally couldn't hold on anymore, slipped his foot, and fell towards a tree in embarrassment, but when he was about to hit it, he was dragged back by a hand with strong knuckles supporting his waist.

"This wine...has a lot of stamina." Jing Xi gritted her teeth and said, fine beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead.

"You still insist on drinking even though you know there is something in the wine, so you're just so worried that Joe will fail to command you."

Chu Fengming said lightly, his tone seemed to be as flat as usual, but his handsome face was somewhat gloomy due to the layer of moonlight.

Sensing the tightness of the hands on her waist, Jing Xi resisted the heat surging in her body, and pulled out a reluctant smile:

"We're... good brothers. Besides, I don't know... the wine was actually drugged with this kind of drug..."

It's strange, it's strange!

He was the one who bribed his father to exchange the wine after inquiring about it!

Now it seems that what a wise choice this is!

Thinking about it, Jing Xi tilted his head and looked at Chu Fengming. It happened that the other party looked down. The moment the two looked at each other, his heart skipped a beat, and the turbulent effects of the medicine in his body almost swallowed his reason , it was only because he pinched his thigh that he resisted not rushing forward—even so, Jing Xi still couldn't restrain himself from letting out a low gasp.

In the deep night, there are dark and quiet woods beside.

Almost in an instant, Chu Fengming's eyes darkened like the night, and the force he exerted on Jingxi's waist suddenly became stronger. Due to the effect of the medicine, the latter's waist was sore and his legs were weak, and he didn't even refuse for a second. He fell directly into Chu Fengming's arms.

Chu Fengming's strength was so strong that he could embed Jing Xi into his arms, and with the other hand he held Jing Xi's wrist tightly, his voice was hoarse: "The medicine is so powerful, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back. I'll help you prepare the antidote..."

"Um……"

Jing Xi pressed her face against Chu Fengming's chin, and the hot and moist breath that she exhaled happened to hit his Adam's apple.

The atmosphere was very ambiguous, but the light from Jing Xi's eyes was brighter than the stars in the sky, and the thoughts in his heart were simpler and rougher than Commander Qiao——

Such a good thing, in the future, there will be a special study room in the mansion to store it!

Thinking of this, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince couldn't help showing a simple smile.

The author has something to say:

Eighth Prince: Thank you, Father, I love you, and I will give you a jade seal!

Master Guoshi: Thank you, Your Majesty, I love my wife, I will compare you to a daughter-in-law... Forget it, it’s mine.
