On the second day of the Lunar New Year, in order to apologize to the Ninth Prince, the Queen specially invited King Jin to a dinner at Kunning Palace.
There were several people sitting at a table, the emperor, the queen, the eldest prince, the eldest princess, the eldest grandson, the ninth prince, the fifth princess, Princess Lingyu, Guo Mingyan, and Nalan Jinnian.
During the dinner, the Ninth Prince toasted King Jin: "Uncle King Jin, I was the one who offended you that day. I offer you this glass of wine and I will apologize to you!"
Nalan Jinnian sat there without moving: "I cannot drink alcohol as my poison has not been cleared away."
The Ninth Prince immediately changed his mind: "I didn't think carefully! I will punish myself with three drinks!"
"There is no need to drink a fine. If you want to apologize, I like to be more realistic. If you give me a hundred thousand taels of apology, I won't care!"
A room full of people: "......"
Seeing that no one said anything, Nalan Jinnian looked at the Ninth Prince calmly: "What? Don't you want to compensate? My clothes are worth a lot of money, and I haven't argued with you yet!"
"no."
A hundred thousand taels of apology, will this make the lion open his mouth
He just broke one of his sleeves!
And how much money can clothes that are ruined by tearing be worth
"Isn't that what it is? You treat me to a banquet as an apology, but you just want to treat me with a meal of pig food? And then drink wine yourself? Who doesn't know that you, the Nine Emperors' nephew, like wine the most? Do you punish yourself with three glasses of wine? Is this really an apology? Sincere enough!”
After Nalan Jinnian finished speaking, he stood up and turned around to leave.
Seeing that the queen was anxious, she quickly stood up and said, "King Jin, please wait!"
She got up in a hurry, and accidentally knocked over the wine glass on the table with her wide sleeves, spilling the wine on Guo Mingyan.
Guo Mingyan: "..."
Nalan Jinnian turned around.
The queen said with a shy face: "Chengzhen offended King Jin, and it was me, the queen, who helped her compensate for the one hundred thousand taels. It was promised as an apology. King Jin, please sit down and have a meal! If it happens in a row, If you just leave without eating, then it’s really my fault.”
Nalan Jinnian sat down again in shame.
The queen said to Guo Mingyan: "Mingyan, your clothes are wet by aunt, let Furong take you down to change!"
"Yes." Guo Mingyan had no choice but to stand up and change clothes.
The emperor then opened his mouth to smooth things over: "Brother Seventeen, you have had a bad appetite recently. These dishes are made in the queen's small kitchen. They taste good. You can try them."
"I asked someone to stew pigeon soup. This soup is delicious and helpful for wound recovery. Mudan, go and serve a bowl to King Jin."
"yes."
Mudan quickly went to bring a cup of stew. Just when he was about to present the stew to Nalan Jinnian, the eldest grandson suddenly stood up and bumped into the soup in her hand.
The soup was poured all over the eldest emperor's grandson's clothes.
The queen's expression changed, she quickly stood up and angrily shouted: "How did you do it!"
Peony quickly knelt down: "Queen, spare your life!"
The queen looked at the eldest grandson nervously: "Did Shengyuan get burned?"
The eldest grandson's body was sticky and he felt uncomfortable all over. He waved his hand and said, "No, it's none of her business. I bumped into her accidentally. Grandma, I'll go change my clothes."
After hearing this, the queen felt relieved. She scolded Peony who was kneeling on the ground: "Don't bring a bowl of soup to King Jin again!"
"yes."
The two went down quickly.
The queen smiled apologetically at Nalan Jinnian and said, "King Jin made you laugh."
Nalan Jinnian smiled half-heartedly: "It doesn't matter."
He picked up a piece of crystal chicken in a good mood and put it in his mouth.
Well, it tastes okay!
The emperor was really a little angry: "Queen, the rules of your Kunning Palace are getting worse and worse. Shengyuan is not young anymore and he is still so reckless!"
"That child has been a little reckless since he was a child. I must teach him well."
The emperor stopped talking and talked about other things with Nalan Jinnian.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from the room: "Great Emperor, why did you come in!"
"Get out!" a woman yelled.
Then there was a "clang" sound!
"Ah! Great Emperor, you are bleeding!" Another exclamation!
The queen's expression changed and she didn't care about anything. She quickly stood up and Wu Wu walked in.
If the queen hadn't wanted to be dignified, she would have run away!
The emperor frowned and stood up.
Nalan Jinnian elegantly picked up the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and then walked in.
Outside the door of a wing
The eldest emperor's grandson stood there with a confused face and a bloody head.
The queen almost fainted when she saw her precious grandson's face covered in blood.
"what happened?"
The eldest princess also felt dizzy: "Shengyuan, are you okay?"
The emperor said angrily: "Shengyuan, what's going on with you! Quick! Call the imperial doctor!"
The eunuch beside the emperor rushed to call the imperial doctor.
"I went into the house to change clothes, but I didn't expect that Mingyan was also changing clothes inside. Then..."
The Great Emperor Sun didn't say any more, but everyone had finished thinking.
At this time, Guo Mingyan had already put on her clothes. She opened the door and walked out. She was about to slap the grandson of the emperor: "You are a disciple!"
The queen quickly grabbed her and said, "Okay, his head is bleeding!"
Why is this girl Mingyan so cruel!
He broke the head of her great grandson!
What if this happens
Guo Mingyan looked aggrieved and said: "Auntie, he broke in while someone was changing clothes!"
"This house used to be my house, and I didn't know you were in it." The great emperor said innocently.
"What's going on with Furong?" The queen looked at the palace maid.
"Back to the empress, it was Miss Guo who said that she could just find a nearby room and change her clothes. This is the closest one. The grandson of the emperor has not lived here for many years. This servant did not expect this."
The eldest grandson has never stayed in the palace again since he came of age.
The queen held her forehead: "Shengyuan! Why are you so reckless?"
At this time, Nalan Jinnian, who was leaning lazily on the vermilion pillars of the corridor with a look on his face, suddenly said, "So... Shengyuan, have you seen Miss Guo's body?"
The Great Emperor Sun covered his bleeding head and said impatiently: "I didn't mean it! I didn't see anything, really! I turned around right away!"
Nalan Jinnian doesn't care if he is real or fake!
He said calmly: "In this case, just marry Miss Guo! A man who is a good man must take responsibility for his own recklessness. This cannot be solved by paying money. Miss Guo's innocence has been ruined by you!"
People in a courtyard: "..."
Guo Mingyan's eyes widened and she looked panicked: "No, I was wearing clothes at the time! He didn't see anything! And I'm not engaged to you? The emperor personally granted the marriage, so how can the eldest grandson marry me?"
This seniority is not right either!
The great emperor’s grandson is younger than himself!
He is also younger than me!
Nalan Jinnian turned around and looked at her squarely for the first time: "So, you still want to rely on me? Do you want me to marry an innocent woman?"
