Chapter 14: Heaven and Earth Drunk Together

She lowered her head, and under the light of the candles displayed on both sides of the hall, the figures of two rows of courtiers sitting upright in the hall outlined long silhouettes on the ground.

Following a shadow, Su Mi turned her head, and the one on the right is the current leader of the royal family, Prince Yu Qi Hao, who was talking to a civil servant from Eguanbo beside him, smiling happily. Although he was in good spirits, his face was faintly pale.These days, he has really tried his best to prepare for the disintegration of Ni Yuan's military forces.

Sensing Su Mi's gaze, he turned his head and gave Su Mi a slightly bitter smile.Then he raised the cup in his hand.

Su Mi smiled knowingly, warmed up in her heart, raised her glass and drank it down.

Putting down the wine glass, he turned his head and glanced at Qi Long with a guilty conscience.Qi Taki was looking down at the clear white wine in the glass, he didn't pay attention to the little episode in the palace.

"Your Majesty, is the water cold?" Su Mi asked softly.Qi Long's health is not good at the moment, he is not suitable for drinking, so the palace man poured ordinary warm water into his cup.

Qi Taki leaned on the gold-embroidered and silver-painted cushion behind him, his face was as pale as a sheet of paper as the brilliance drifted away.

"No, it's just that I drank too much medicine. Even the most common white water tastes bitter in my mouth at this time." Qi Long's mouth raised an angle that seemed to be nothing.

"If the emperor is tired, why not go to the side hall to rest for a while." Su Mi thoughtfully suggested.

"Who said I'm tired?" He suddenly raised his head to look at Su Mi, but his eyes were filled with gloom.

Su Mi froze for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, Qi Taki had returned to normal.

Su Mi quickly felt that the haze just now was just her illusion.

The banquet continued.

From time to time, Qi Hao raised his head to look at the civil and military officials in the palace, with a calm expression, as if all the flashy and noisy things in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Naturally, the banquet in front of the emperor should not be disrespectful, but around Ni Yuan, officials from various divisions and ministries had already stood up to toast.Unable to leave the wine table, they had no choice but to leave their seats halfway, and bowed far away to the table of His Highness King Yan.Even from a long distance, one could clearly see the flattering expressions on those faces.

Facing the flattery and flattery of various forces, Ni Yuan just responded indifferently, and the wine was just on his lips.Ever since he entered the palace, he had been extremely careful about food protection. Qi Hao had also thought about assassinating and poisoning him during the time he stayed in the palace, but after the investigation, he had to give up these crooked ways completely.Ni Yuan's cautiousness made him feel annoyed and amazed.

After drinking for three rounds, the spirit was in full swing, and the banquet gradually became lively.

Qi Hao glanced at the head, stood up, and said loudly: "This king also takes this opportunity to offer a cup to His Highness King Yan, and hope that His Highness King Yan's prisoner offering ceremony tonight will be a success."

Seeing Prince Yu personally toasting, Ni Yuan also stood up, let out a long laugh, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is kind."

The two were well-mannered, but there was no smile in their eyes when they looked at each other.

Ni Yuan was raising his wine glass for the palace servants behind him to pour wine.But after hearing Gao Tailong's case, Su Mi laughed lightly, and Su Mi turned her head to see that it was Qi Long who sat up straight.

He cast his gaze downwards, with an indifferent smile on his face. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he struggled a bit, as if he wanted to stand up.

Su Mi hurriedly stepped forward to help him stand up, he smiled and said, "Since you want to respect, let me toast this cup."

Seeing the emperor getting up from the imperial case, all the civil and military officials in the hall stood up one after another.

"It's getting late, and I'm tired too," Qi Long glanced at Geng Liu beside him, and said with a tired face, "Let me to toast this last cup."

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the eunuch beside him, the clever eunuch immediately presented the gold plate filled with gold silk twigs and carved jugs.

Qi Taki seemingly casually ordered one of the pots.Then he put the glass of white water in his hand on the plate behind him.

"Your Majesty..." Su Mi couldn't help but stop her softly.

Before he finished speaking, Qi Long interrupted: "I haven't had a drink for a long time, and I want to enjoy my last drink today. Mi'er, come to the bar and have a drink with me."

According to the word, the palace servant brought the designated jug of wine together with four silver cups to Su Mi on a gold plate.

She had no choice but to pick up the jug.

Tilting his hand, the pure white wine flowed out of the golden mouth and poured into the silver cup.Su Mi filled the four wine glasses one by one.

Then she took the gold plate and handed it to Qi Taki first, but Qi Taki waved his hand.Su Mi was slightly taken aback, and then understood.

She turned and strolled into the hall.

Trying to maintain a calm pace towards Ni Yuan, she felt her heartbeat almost stopped.

Fearing that her eyesight would reveal her secret emotions, she lowered her head, only to see a hand stretched out, it was a pair of firm, strong, weather-beaten hands, a pair of hands accustomed to grasping power and controlling the world, they were both hands... Su Mi tried her best to take a deep breath to calm down her chaotic emotions.

Then she came to Qi Hao's table, Qi Hao gave her a comforting look, and then picked up a glass of wine.Su Mi's mood calmed down a little.

After returning to the Nine Dragons Imperial Court, Su Mi presented the gold plate in front of Qi Long, and Qi Long quietly picked up the wine glass.Su Mi picked up the last glass.

The palace servants in the palace have already filled the wine glasses for the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and relatives.

Qi Taki raised his wine glass with a smile, and said, "I've been taken care of by King Yan for the past few years." After finishing speaking, before Ni Yuan could respond, he turned to Qi Hao and smiled meaningfully: "It's also thanks to King Yan. Brother Wang, I will do my best to protect the capital and the court for my sake, especially when the Liao people are killing me. My health is failing, and I will have to work harder for my two lovers in the future. Jiangshan works."

Qi Hao glanced at Qi Taki suspiciously. These days, he has gradually gotten used to Qi Taki's mocking tone.But today's Qi Taki still made him a little bit at a loss.The implication in Qi Taki's words just now made him faintly feel ominous.

While he was in a daze, Qi Taki had already finished his New Year's greetings and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.The ministers in the hall also coaxed the promise, saying auspicious and wishful words one after another, while drinking the wine.

Seeing that the eyes of all the ministers in the hall were focused on himself, Qi Hao laughed loudly and said: "It is only natural for a minister to serve the emperor, and it was because of his carelessness in observing the enemy that the Liao people invaded the capital." , the crime of ten thousand deaths, the emperor will not pursue it, the minister is already inexplicably grateful, how dare he accept the emperor's gratitude."

After speaking, he immediately drank the wine in his hand.

Su Mi glanced at him, and immediately followed suit.

Ni Yuan frowned slightly, seeing that both Qi Long and Qi Hao had already drunk it readily, he immediately smiled and said: "As a subject, making meritorious deeds on the battlefield and guarding the holy driver is an honor that can never be denied. The emperor loves and trusts me." My humble minister, if you entrust this humble minister with a heavy responsibility, how can I not do my best to repay the emperor's kindness." As he said, he also raised his head and drank the wine.

Because of the stimulation of the spirits, Qi Taki immediately began to cough.Su Mi patted his shoulder.

Qi Long turned around, shook his head, and said, "My health is failing, I'm done here tonight, and the next thing will be left to the two lovers."

Su Mi quickly put down the wine glass, and helped Qi Long to walk towards the apse.

Afterwards, the bustling banquet continued, and Ni Yuan and Qi Hao continued to host the banquet.Without Qi Long, the atmosphere at the banquet became lively instead.

Many officials got up to toast one after another, greeted and sent them off, and they were quite casual.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Surrounded by the palace people, Su Mi helped Qi Hao turn back to the bedroom.The far-reaching red wall of the corridor separated the laughter of the banquet far away.

Inside the apse was still as silent as ever.There is a faint medicinal fragrance in the air.

The servants and the imperial doctor greeted him, and Su Mi helped Qi Long lie down on the bed.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you've worked hard all day, go rest first." Su Mi said.

"Don't worry. It's going to grow a lot tonight." Qi Taki's mouth curled into a smile instead.Su Mi couldn't help being startled, she hadn't seen such a pure smile on his face for a long time.

"I'm not tired. If I want to rest, I'll grow up a lot in the future." He took Su Mi's hand and said with a smile, "I just drew up a decree, come and have a look."

As he spoke, he gestured slightly to the side, and a young eunuch presented a gold plate, on which an imperial decree was neatly placed.

The end is coming soon, and everyone probably guessed it after reading this chapter.
