"I still remember that at the New Year's Palace banquet last year, the Ninth Princess fell asleep so drunk that I had no chance to appreciate the Ninth Princess's talents. I wonder if we will have the chance today?" Empress Yuanfei suddenly said with a smile, and turned to look at her. emperor.
The emperor smiled silently and looked in agreement, but Luo Zhiyi was startled. He didn't expect that as the protagonist today, he would still be unable to escape from this matter.
"Your dance and your piano can only be danced and played for me alone." Bai Ye suddenly came close to Luo Zhiyi and whispered in his ear, his voice was gentle, but his tone was unquestionably domineering and coquettish. meaning.
"Sister Princess, let's just give a performance. Ruoshui also wants to broaden his horizons?" Lian Ruoshui suddenly said beside him, with a hint of prayer in his tone.
After a pause, Luo Zhiyi said with a smile: "Reporting to the empress, I have little talent and little knowledge. I really don't have any good talent. If I perform in front of the emperor, I'm afraid it will make the magnanimous people laugh!"
"The Ninth Princess is too modest. I heard that the Ninth Prince fell in love with the Ninth Princess at first sight because the Ninth Princess once performed a plum dance and made the Ninth Prince astonished?" Princess Yongxi on the opposite side suddenly said.
Luo Zhijian saw that Princess Yongxi had a smile on her face and was very kind to her, as if what happened a few months ago had never happened. His heart was filled with worry. In this palace, everyone lives with a mask, even if they don't It's really tiring to pretend to be friendly even if you like me.
Luo Zhiyi smiled politely at Princess Yongxi, stood up and said: "If the empress must see it, then Zhiyi can only show her ugliness. However, since the scar on Zhiyi's arm is ugly, she will not dance."
"Oh, the Ninth Princess has other special skills." Concubine Yuan asked curiously.
"It's just a small plan." After saying that, he looked at the emperor and said, "Please allow the emperor to make some preparations."
The emperor responded with a smile. The smile was still friendly, which made Luo Zhiyi feel a little dazed. In her memory, the emperor had never been unhappy with her and had never had a good look on her. This time, it was rare for him to remain loyal to her from beginning to end. Smiling.
After a while, Luo Zhiyi returned to the main hall, followed by several palace attendants. Some held several transparent glass bottles on trays, some held wine jars, and some held glass bottles in trays containing various colors. water......
Everyone didn't know why, and looked at everything in front of them with curious eyes.
"Is the ninth princess going to perform a juggling act?" Princess Yongxi said in a teasing tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone chuckled softly at the table.
Bai Ye sat in his seat and glanced at the people who laughed out loud. Although he was smiling and his eyes were gentle, those people suddenly felt a chill running down their spines. They shrunk their necks and did not dare to say anything. sound.
"It turns out that the fifth sister-in-law likes to do juggling tricks." Luo Zhiyi replied calmly, and before Princess Yongxi could refute, he bowed to the imperial concubine on the jade steps: "Zhiyi's hobby is wine, New Year's Eve He was drunk and disobeyed at the palace banquet. The emperor is kind and has no intention of blaming him. Today, I don't dare to be impudent anymore. I specially offer a cup of "Wanli Jiangshan" to the emperor. I wish the emperor that the mountains and rivers will be forever and the country will be prosperous for thousands of years." Luo Zhiyi's flattering skills. He didn't hesitate at all, and his manners were elegant yet a little playful when he spoke.
"Thousands of miles of land." The emperor finally showed a curious look on his face.
Luo Zhiyi smiled slightly and ordered the palace servants to place the things on the table that had been prepared in the center of the hall.
Therefore, everyone only saw Luo Zhiyi turning flowers with his hands, a transparent glass bottle, white jade-like hands, and brightly colored water and wine. In an instant, the aroma of wine filled the hall, and everyone was dazzled by the sight. But he saw that Luo Zhiyi had already put down the glass bottle in his hand. While the palace attendants waiting beside him were still stunned, Luo Zhiyi had already taken two slightly smaller glass cups and slowly poured out the wine in the bottle. Pour it into the wine glass, then pick up the candle on the side and light it up. Light flames jump in the two wine glasses.
Everyone in the main hall exclaimed, even the emperor showed surprise.
Luo Zhiyi smiled and motioned to the palace attendants to present the two cups of burning wine to the emperor.
In two transparent glass cups, flames are burning, and several colors are blended together, but not mixed. The barriers are clear, red is still red, green is still green, orange is still orange...
However, when the emperor took a closer look, he discovered that there was something else in the cup.
Although there is no clear outline, with just one glance, it feels like the vast world seems to be dissolved into a small cup in front of you.
The emperor's face showed a look of joy, he picked up the still burning glass cup, and suddenly felt that the light fragrance seemed to spread under the burning flames, lingering on the tip of his nose, and his whole body felt clear and refreshing. The emperor laughed loudly: " Today I know that the Ninth Princess is a true lover of wine."
"Your Majesty, have you heard that the people jokingly call the nine younger brothers and sisters the 'Drunken Immortals'?" Princess Yongxi taunted her again.
Luo Zhi was very angry. Princess Yongxi was taking revenge on her. Wasn't this title of Drunken Immortal given to her after the New Year's Palace Banquet?
"Hahaha, Drunken Immortal, what a Drunken Immortal. However, I think it is more appropriate to call her Drunken Concubine. What do you think, Ninth Brother?" The emperor also suddenly started joking.
"My brother, thank you for the title given by the emperor." Bai Ye suddenly stood up and walked to Luo Zhiyi's side. He pulled Luo Zhiyi and knelt down, taking the emperor's joke as an imperial title given to Luo Zhiyi.
The emperor was startled, then smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'll call you drunk."
Luo Zhiyi couldn't laugh or cry, how could there be such a title?
After thanking him, Bai Ye took Luo Zhiyi's hand and returned to the seat, holding the cup in one hand and still holding Luo Zhiyi's hand in the other.
"Brother Ye, can you lend me the princess sister for a while?" Lian Ruoshui came over at some point and stood delicately in front of the two of them. His face was as cold as the moon, delicate and pitiful, and his smiling eyes were full of envy and sadness. A look of teasing.
Luo Zhiyi's face turned red and he broke away from Bai Ye's hand.
Bai Ye didn't care: "You women, just go and talk to me if you have anything to say, but just don't leave the hall."
Luo Zhiyi took Princess Wanping's hand and walked towards the side hall, leaving the brightness and hustle and bustle behind her. Luo Zhiyi suddenly felt her heart settle down. She still didn't like the glitz and bustle in the main hall, and this side hall The temple was indeed much quieter.
Lian Ruoshui did not enter the hall, but stood in the corridor, turned around and watched the singing and dancing in the hall.
"Why did the princess stay in the capital this time? Is her health better?" Luo Zhiyi looked at Lian Ruoshui still wrapped in light fur in the palace, and remembered that she was in poor health and had to go to a warmer place in the south of the Yangtze River every winter. For winter.
"Well, I found a doctor among the people. Although he is not well-known, he does have excellent medical skills. After his treatment, my illness has improved a lot. I am just slightly cold, but I am much better." Lian Ruoshui smiled warmly. Euphemistic.
"That's good, nothing is as important as your own body." Luo Zhiyi felt this very much. After what happened in Dongsan City, her body was really not as good as before.
"Well, Ruoshui knows. Sister Princess, do you know why Ruoshui came out to you alone?" Lian Ruoshui suddenly smiled at Luo Zhiyi. That smile was completely different from her usual. Luo Zhiyi was surprised and shook his head slightly. .
"Actually, I don't know whether I should tell the princess or sister about this, but Ruoshui doesn't want her to get hurt." Lian Ruoshui turned to look at the dim lights in the hall and smiled again.
Luo Zhiyi looked at Lian Ruoshui who was about to speak but was full of questions, waiting for her next words.
