Being mentioned like this, I actually remembered that when I went to court in place of Xia Yan some time ago, I always saw Xiao Qi standing there enjoying herself alone. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that I think about it, what kind of happy event is it?
How can a person laugh while standing there doing nothing?
"Could it be that Seventeenth Master..." Duotong slowly said the truth that was immediately revealed.
We all looked at him.
Duotong said word by word with perfect accuracy: "Have you been possessed by an evil spirit?"
"Tch..." Amidst a burst of sighs, Duotong touched his nose in embarrassment and stood aside dejectedly.
About a stick of incense later, Xiao Qi walked in from the open door in a hurry. It seemed that he had come back in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brothers." Xiao Qi smiled and apologized to us, looking at Xia Yan with a little shyness.
Xia Yan didn't mention a word as to why Xiao Qi was late. He celebrated his twentieth birthday as if nothing had happened.
Xia Huanzhi saw that Xia Yan remained calm, so he didn't bother to ask.
The process of the banquet was very simple, but it was enjoyable. No one was putting on airs, and a few bold guards came over to offer wine to Xia Yan. Xia Yan was not perfunctory.
Xia Huanzhi was afraid that the guards would go too far and get Xia Yan drunk, so he repeatedly helped Xia Yan to stop drinking. Who knew that in the end he would rebel.
One foot on the stool and one hand on Xia Yan's shoulder: "Brother, are you my brother?"
Xia Yan is already half drunk. I have known Xia Yan for so long and I have never seen him drunk before, but today it seems that he is doomed.
When asked by Xia Huanzhi in front of so many people, Xia Yan nodded naturally: "Yes."
"Then drink the wine."
Xia Yan slowly picked up the wine glass and finished it inexplicably.
Then Xia Huanzhi ran to another place, put his arm around Xiao Qi's shoulders and asked him if he was his brother. Xiao Qi didn't answer anything and just finished the drink.
I was ordered not to drink alcohol by Xia Yan, so I drank a sweet wine made from grains with Didi. We had a bowl and I had a bowl. Xia Dong was very greedy and wanted to drink it too.
Didi gave him a small glass. The little guy had no reaction after drinking it. I saw, hey, he has a good drinking capacity, so I gave him another glass.
Tragedy happened. After two glasses of sweet wine, Xia Dongji began to imitate his father.
Holding his father's thigh, he imitated an adult with a sweet voice: "Tell me, was it my brother? It was his brother who did it."
Xia Huanzhi was already drunk. He looked down and laughed twice: "Okay."
The father and son drank three glasses of wine in a row, while Didi broke down laughing beside him.
Xiao Qi took me aside because of his drunkenness. I thought he was going to ask me if I was his brother, and I was about to clink glasses with him. Who knew that this damn kid clung to my shoulders and asked me like a thief:
"Do you know what I'm going to do today?"
I shook my head. It wasn't the roundworms in his stomach, how could I know where he had gone?
Xiao Qi looked to the side mysteriously. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly said to me: "Sister-in-law, I want to marry the princess."
When I heard it, I was very happy.
Xiao Qi finally got the idea. When he didn't mention marriage for so many years, I thought he was a fool for being a eunuch in the palace.
"Whose girl is this? The emperor's sister-in-law will make the decision for you." With my current identity and status, as long as Xiao Qi tells who that person is, I can take care of the matter the next day.
