Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Chapter 300 What if I'm not drunk?

An San returned to the palace to report, and Emperor Yuan learned that Gu Ling'er had arrived in Beijing. He immediately couldn't wait to summon her into the palace.

But the Queen stopped him before he could give the order.

"Your Majesty, most of these hermits dislike the cumbersome formalities of the palace, nor do they like being summoned and dismissed at will.

If I rashly issue an order to summon them, I'm afraid not only will they not come, but they will also be annoyed."

When faced with the emperor's edict, capable people can often choose to obey or not.

Gu Ling'er was not an official appointed by the court and had not committed any crime. Even if he did not respond to the summons, Emperor Yuan could do nothing about it.

You can't just kill people, right? That would make you a real tyrant.

Emperor Yuan frowned. "Then what do you think we should do? I want her to show you and the baby in your womb."

"Didn't Dean Guo say that? The child is healthy now."

"I don't trust him."

The Empress smiled and shook her head. "Jiang Yueyang also said that the child is healthy. Your Majesty doesn't trust Guo Yuanzheng, so does he not trust Jiang Yueyang either?"

Emperor Yuan curled his lips and said, "What does a little girl like her, who has never experienced anything in life and has never had a mother, know?"

The Empress opened her mouth to respond, but Emperor Yuan spoke first, "She can tell whether a child is healthy or not, but can she deliver your baby?

You are pregnant with twins now. I dare not even think about the dangers of childbirth. When Concubine Li gave birth to Little Eight and Little Nine... I just want you to be well."

Emperor Yuan has twin sons, fifteen years old this year. They went abroad to study some time ago and will probably be back before the New Year.

The Empress reached out and held his hand, "Your Majesty, Lipin's is her first child, so the delivery was difficult.

I have already given birth to three children, so it will definitely not be that dangerous. Besides, it is too early to say this now."

"I don't care. From now on, you must take good care of yourself. If anything goes wrong, you won't give birth."

"Your Majesty." The Queen was slightly angry.

"Alright, alright." Emperor Yuan gently embraced her in his arms. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's first find a way to summon that girl into the palace."

The Empress snorted, "If Your Majesty says that again in the future, I will ignore you."

Emperor Yuan did not respond.

The Queen knew he wouldn't agree, so she said to herself, "Your Majesty, shall we go meet that girl?"

"Shall we go see her?"

"Well, we have something to ask of her, so we should go and visit her in person. However, we should still ask the girl's opinion before we go."

"Alright, I'll have Lu Yunting give that girl a message tomorrow."

On the other side, Jiang Yueyang's carriage stopped outside Zuixianju.

Jiang Yueyang and the other three got off the carriage one after another, and looked up at the plaque above at the same time.

"This is my first time here." Qiao Xi spoke first.

Qiao Xi usually drinks with her father and occasionally has a drink herself, but she has never been to the winery to drink.

"This font is so special." Wen Shuyan also said.

"Really?" Jiang Yueyang smiled faintly, "When I first came here, I was also attracted by this font."

“I wonder who wrote it?”

"I'll find out later if I ask."

"I'll knock on the door." Gu Ruo walked up and knocked on the door. "Is anyone inside? We want to buy some wine."

Li Yan, who was sitting under a tree and preparing to enjoy his meal, pretended not to hear the sound and picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks.

He put the chicken in his mouth and chewed it, his eyes gradually brightening. Then he poured himself a glass of wine.

Fine wine and delicious food, their faces are full of enjoyment.

Outside, seeing no one responding, Gu Ruo knocked on the door and shouted a few more times, but Li Yan still ignored her.

She turned to look at the three of them and said uncertainly, "It seems we came at a bad time. There seems to be no one inside."

At this moment, a voice with a hint of anger came from inside, "Li Yan, why didn't you call me for dinner?"

"Aren't you full just by looking at your 'Seven Star Flower'?"

Jiang Yueyang recognized these two voices, they were Gu Lan and Li Yan, they were pretending not to hear.

Wen Shuyan suggested: "How about we change places? They don't seem to want to do business."

"It would be fine if I didn't come here, but now that I'm here I really want to drink the wine." Gu Ruo didn't want to change places.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang took two steps forward and knocked on the door, "Mr. Li, are you in there?"

Hearing Jiang Yueyang's voice, the two people who were eating paused and looked up at each other at the same time.

"I seemed to hear Miss Jiang's voice just now."

"I think I heard it too." Gu Lan echoed.

Jiang Yueyang's voice came again, "Mr. Li, Mr. Li."

"It's her." Gu Lan suddenly asked, "Why did she only call you and not me?"

Li Yan: "...Is now the time to worry about this?"

He stood up and said, "I'll go open the door for her. Maybe Ziyue is outside now."

Just as Jiang Yueyang opened her mouth again, the door opened.

Li Yan took a quick look and when he didn't see Lu Yunting, he asked, "Miss Jiang, why are you here?"

"We wanted to find a private place to get drunk, and we thought of your place."

"You want to drink?" Li Yan was shocked. "No, you can't drink. Ziyue will beat me up!"

"She only drinks a little, it's mainly us who drink." Gu Ruo found the right time to interrupt.

"Don't you know how much she can drink? She can't drink at all! And, after drinking, she will..."

"Mr. Li!" Jiang Yueyang interrupted him, "I brought the hangover medicine that Ah Yue gave me, so those things won't happen."

"Even if that's the case, I can't bear that responsibility."

"Mr. Li, my friend is in a bad mood and would like to drink some of your wine. Please."

Qiao Xi also said, "I heard that Zuixianju has a kind of wine that is very easy to get drunk, and so far no one has been able to drink more than three cups.

Although I'm a woman, I can drink just as much as a man. I wonder if that wine can get me drunk? If not, then my reputation is in vain."

Li Yan was provoked, "My wine lives up to its reputation!"

"I haven't drunk it, I don't believe it."

"Then today I will convince you!"

After saying that, he opened the door wide and stepped aside to let them in.

Qiao Xi secretly raised his eyebrows at the three of them, his eyes seemed to say, aren't we going in now?

Li Yan led them to the tree, and then went into the house to get some wine.

Jiang Yueyang saw the dishes on the table and asked curiously, "Why do you have Ye Wuhen's chili sauce?"

"What chili sauce? Are you talking about this?" Gu Lan pointed to the open chili sauce on the table.

Jiang Yueyang nodded.

"Ziyue, don't throw this to Li Yan."

At this time, Li Yan ran over with a small jar of wine and placed the wine in front of Qiao Xi.

"The wine you were talking about just now is this Yaoguangzui. Drink it, I bet you'll get drunk in just one glass!"

Hearing this, Qiao Xi curled her lips and looked at him straight, "What if I'm not drunk? What will you do?"
