The Queen Mother waved to the crowd, sat down, took off her gorgeous cloak, and looked at the dancing men and women with a smile, seemingly enjoying everything.
But the little emperor was jumping up and down, and with five or six followers, he was worming his way through the crowd.
After getting to a place where the Queen Mother could not see him, the little emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said to a follower beside him: "Xu Kai, today's fun will be left to you!"
Xu Kai is older than the little emperor, seventeen or eighteen years old.
Many nobles at this age have already inherited the family business or gone to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds.
But this guy obviously doesn't have that kind of ability. He has been following the little emperor with a playful smile for two years. From a playmate to a confidant of the little emperor, he can be regarded as a helper who specializes in having fun.
After listening to the little emperor's words, Xu Kai patted his chest and said mysteriously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely find you the most beautiful girl!"
The atmosphere in the square is very lively. Young people are singing and dancing, middle-aged people are drinking and mingling. Even the old people can enjoy a moment of joy.
People seemed to have forgotten the threat of war, dancing, singing, and eating barbecue, as if they would no longer have any worries.
Li Xuan sat next to a barbecue grill, stuffing beef tongue into his mouth with big mouthfuls, chewing and drinking delicious wine. It was really enjoyable.
From his seat, he could just see the cheerful faces of Luo Li and Sang Jingyu. It was the first time for the two girls to participate in such a lively celebration. One moment they ran to the bonfire to dance, and the next they joined the singing team.
After a while, I secretly drank a few sips of wine. I was as happy as two beautiful butterflies, which was pleasing to the eye.
"It would be great if such happy days could last forever."
Li Xuan felt a little emotional, and he really hated the Chu people who started the war.
But Li Xuan soon left these worries behind.
If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will be worried tomorrow. Even if the war breaks out tomorrow, you will have to get drunk today! While Li Xuan was busy dealing with the beef tongue and wine, Xu Kai looked at Yingying Lulu with a smirk on his face.
He passed through the aristocratic girls, and from time to time he stretched out his hands to squeeze.
The girls turned their heads in panic and were about to curse, but when they saw Xu Kai's face clearly, they immediately fell silent.
Some people hid in a hurry, while others reluctantly laughed along with them. This kind of fear made Xu Kai feel very happy.
The fox pretends to be the tiger's power?
Many people said this about Xu Kai, but he didn't care.
Not everyone can fake the power of a tiger, especially that tiger who is the nominal monarch of this empire, the emperor who can decide life and death with just one sentence! Although the emperor is still a child for the time being, he will be able to rule in a few years, right?
Xu Kai, the emperor's favorite playmate, will definitely be in great power! Many people recognize Xu Kai and know that he is the popular person in front of the little emperor, and they can only swallow their anger when bullied.
This further fueled Xu Kai's arrogance. He walked around in the crowd with a smile. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he stared closely at the two beautiful girls running past.
The two beautiful girls are Luo Li and Sang Jingyu. One is a beauty with short hair and a slightly androgynous look. The short hair makes her look more sassy and wild, especially her recently tanned skin that shows a wheat color and is very healthy.
As for Sang Jingyu, she is the perfect girl next door, and her smile is so beautiful.
Xu Kai almost started drooling after just one glance. He couldn't help but said to himself: "Hey, they are two new faces that I have never seen before. Hey, since they are fresh products, His Majesty will definitely like them, right?"
When Li Xuan was enjoying his meal, he was lightly tapped on the shoulder.
He looked back and saw Xia Ruixue standing behind him with a tired look on his face.
"Your Highness, why do you look unhappy?
Let’s have a piece of beef tongue. It’s grilled and delicious. Once you bite it, all your worries will be gone!”
Li Xuan said.
Xia Ruixue smiled bitterly and said, "It would be great if it were true."
As she spoke, she sat down politely, took the beef tongue with the sauce from Li Xuan's hand, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
"Your Highness, are you too rude?"
Li Xuan said angrily.
"Eating your tongue means I look down on you!"
Xia Ruixue glared at Li Xuan fiercely.
Then Xia Ruixue noticed a strange smile on Li Xuan's face, and she asked strangely: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No...no! No!"
Li Xuan suppressed his laughter and said.
Xia Ruixue muttered: "Eat your tongue, you look like this, you are so young..." Suddenly she realized something, there was an ambiguity in what she said just now, no wonder Li Xuan smiled so... so meanly! "You stinky boy"
, what’s going on in your mind?”
Xia Ruixue was ashamed and angry.
"I don't understand what your highness means."
Li Xuan pretended to be stupid and said, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Hmph..." Xia Ruixue didn't have the nerve to say it. She gave Li Xuan a hard look and began to eat the beef tongue with concentration.
After eating up a piece of beef tongue, Xia Ruixue said with satisfaction: "It tastes really good... I didn't expect the chef in the palace to be so good at barbecue!"
"Would you like a glass of wine?"
Li Xuan asked.
Xia Ruixue shook her head: "I have important things to deal with later, so I won't drink."
"Why are you so tired? Sometimes you should give yourself a vacation and relax."
Li Xuan saw the tired look on Xia Ruixue's face and couldn't help but persuade her.
Xia Ruixue sighed: "It's easy for you to say it, but since you sit in this position and see many problems that others can't see, you must solve them..." After a pause, she continued: "Even if it's a building
The dilapidated house that is riddled with holes needs to be repaired, otherwise, if it collapses, we will have no place to live!"
Li Xuan understood that this country had completely different meanings to him and to Xia Ruixue.
Even leaving aside Li Xuan's identity as a time traveler, the ownership of the empire by minor nobles and the royal family is completely different.
So many people will seize the last chance to enjoy themselves, while others are desperately trying to repair this broken house, hoping to last a little longer.
"Anyway, take care of yourself."
Li Xuan thought for a moment and took out a few pills, "This is my special pill. Take one when you feel tired.
Don’t worry, there are no side effects.”
"Thanks."
Xia Ruixue was never polite to Li Xuan, so she immediately put away the elixir after hearing this.
"By the way, how's the work on Unit 1 going?"
Li Xuan hadn't been to the research room for several days since he completed the design drawing last time, so he couldn't help but ask.
"With the design drawings in hand, the rest of the work is progressing quickly, and the production of some parts has been completed in the past few days.
The next step is to assemble it. Langli said that the first test product will be completed in about another week.
A practical test will be conducted at that time, and I would like to invite you to observe it."
When Xia Ruixue mentioned Unit 1, a look of excitement appeared on her face. This was the rare good news she had heard recently.
