Then he followed the eunuch, beat around the bush, climbed up to the four-story building, and waited outside the main hall. The little eunuch walked in and greeted Gonggong Kun, who made a gesture and motioned for Lu Xiyi to go in.

Gonggong Kun grabbed Lu Xiyi's shoulder, and said in a fierce voice: "You must act according to etiquette, you will do what you teach you today!" ”

"Alright, alright, I got it!" After thousands of instructions, Lu Xiyi was upset when he heard it. Having said that, Lu Xiyi is also the daughter of a member of the Ministry of Rites, and she is considered a beautiful lady, and she knows the etiquette of meeting big people, so she doesn't need to talk about Gonggong Kun.

However, the more confident Lu Xiyi was, the more uneasy Father-in-law Kun became. But there is no way, if it comes, it will be safe. Gonggong Kun tidied up his sleeves, provided his body, and led Lu Xiyi into the main hall.

When Lu Mingde saw Lu Xiyi's big horn, he was angry and ashamed. had to bow his head and cover his face with his official uniform.

Zhong Yihan's eyes were blazing, and he gently threw a glance at her, this glance had a lot of meanings, not only to praise Lu Xiyi for dressing very beautifully today, but also to remind Lu Xiyi to be cautious, after all, she was facing the emperor and the eldest princess.

seems to have a soul in his heart, and Lu Xiyi can see the meaning in Zhong Yihan's eyes. It was precisely because she could see it that the corner of her eye immediately caught sight of the eldest princess sitting beside the emperor and wearing a Taoist robe. The eldest princess's eyes were red and green, as if she wanted to eat Lu Xiyi in one bite.

Lu Xiyi is so young and beautiful, and the eldest princess is even more jealous and resentful. She can't deal with a little girl, and she won't have to go back to the capital in the future!

Gonggong Kun knelt in front of the emperor and respectfully announced: "Your Majesty, bring it to the shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Liquor Workshop." Gonggong Kun waited for a while, but he didn't see Lu Xiyi speak, looked back, and found that Lu Xiyi was still standing, staring at the eldest princess with stunned eyes. Gonggong Kun was taken aback: This thing that can't be on the table, hasn't she already taught her today, when she saw the emperor, she immediately knelt down to answer, how stiff it was like a clay sculpture! So, Gonggong Kun called in a low voice, "Hey, kneel, kneel!" ”

Zhong Yihan pinched a handful of sweat for Lu Xiyi, put his hand to his lips, and coughed twice.

Hearing his voice, Lu Xiyi came to his senses and hurriedly knelt next to Gonggong Kun: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"You are Lu Xiyi, the shopkeeper of Xiaoyao Wine Workshop?" The emperor is not very strict, but Lu Xiyi's innocence makes him like it very much.

Lu Xiyi kowtowed, not daring to raise his eyes to look at the emperor: "The little woman is Lu Xiyi of Xiaoyao Wine, it is Xiyi's honor to see the emperor's holy face today!" ”

Lu Xiyi replied fluently, and there was no nervousness, which was really unexpected by Zhong Yihan and Kun Gonggong. Then, Lu Xiyi toasted the eldest princess. I saw her pick up a wine jug from the case next to the eldest princess, pour a glass of wine into the parrot jar, and kneel on the ground to offer it to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess ignored the answer, took the wine cup, took a sip, pretended to be very unpleasant, and frowned.

"I like the jade ice roast you brewed." When the emperor saw Lu Xiyi's answer, he liked it more and more, "Anyway, what is your jade ice roast made of, and why is it so delicious?" Even Ambassador Haque of the Li Kingdom is full of praise, which can be said to have won a big face for our Yongguo! ”

This question stumped Lu Xiyi, what she was most afraid of was that the eldest princess would stir up trouble. Thinking about it, he secretly glanced at the eldest princess, and sure enough, he saw a cold smile at the corner of the eldest princess's affectionate mouth. Yes, the eldest princess can't wait to disappear Lu Xiyi and Xiaoyao Wine Shop from the world! Lu Xiyi snorted, not knowing how to answer.

Gonggong Kun next to her saw that she suddenly stopped talking and was anxious, so he replied for her: "Back to the emperor, the jade ice roast in this Xiaoyao Wine Workshop is made of fatty meat. ”

"Oh?" The emperor thought it was very novel, "Since it is made with fatty meat, why don't I taste greasy at all?" Tsk tsk, this brewing method is really superb, it can be said to turn decay into magic. Treasurer Lu ......"

"Your Majesty!" The eldest princess snatched the conversation, her eyes were as cold as a knife, "You praise Lu Xiyi so much, it really embarrass me!" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and chewed the meaning of the eldest princess's words: "Princess, how do you say this?" ”

"If you can, the emperor should pull Lu Xiyi out and behead him!" The eldest princess snapped, pressed the wine cup on the case, and her face turned red, presumably very angry.

What was supposed to be a very harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense, which surprised everyone. Even Zhen Guogong didn't know how the eldest princess could be so angry with a winemaker.

Zhong Yihan's heart was clear, and the eldest princess began to use the topic to attack. He secretly made up his mind that if Lu Xiyi couldn't deal with it, he would have to intercede for Lu Xiyi.

The emperor stroked his beard, his eyebrows were confused: "Sister Huang, can you make it clearer?" ”

"Humph!" The eldest princess pointed to the wine on the case, "Your Majesty, I am a monk, and it is clearly stipulated in the rules and precepts that you cannot drink meat wine." Just now, Lu Xiyi poured me jade ice roast, which is made of fatty meat, doesn't she know that I am a monk? She was clearly using jade ice to laugh at me! ”

The emperor was embarrassed, don't say whether Lu Xiyi knew it or not, even he never thought that the eldest princess couldn't drink meat wine: "Sister Huang, this matter is also strange, it has nothing to do with Shopkeeper Lu!" ”

"Your Majesty, a glass of meat wine will ruin my ten years of cultivation!" The eldest princess was very sad, and glared at Lu Xiyi, "Your Majesty, I know!" Now that I am no longer an official in the court, the emperor looks down on me, and a winemaker comes to make fun of and insult me, isn't it? ”

The eldest princess was obviously fighting grief and asked the emperor to punish Lu Xiyi, because she knew that the emperor would definitely not make her sister sad for a little Lu Xiyi, and this sister was still the founder of the country!

The emperor stroked his beard and was embarrassed: "This ......" It is not difficult to punish Lu Xiyi, but once it spreads, won't it make him damage his prestige?

Zhenguo Gong walked out and bowed to the emperor.

"Zhen Guogong, what do you say?" The emperor hoped that the Duke of Zhenguo would relieve him of the siege.

Zhenguo Gong has already seen that today's eldest princess is looking for something to do: "There is a saying among the people, those who do not know are not guilty, and there is no excuse for the crime that they want to add." Shopkeeper Lu didn't know at first that the eldest princess couldn't drink meat wine, but if he knew, he would definitely not burn the jade ice to the eldest princess. Shopkeeper Lu didn't know that now he wanted to punish her crimes, wouldn't he want to add to the crime? It is easy for the emperor to kill a person, but it is difficult to convince the people of the whole country. I hope the emperor will think twice! ”

"Bold!" The eldest princess had long wanted to attack Zhen Guogong, "You just say some cool words, I don't know how hard my cultivation is!" You are shielding a winemaker like this, it can't be some kind of collusion with her, right? Suddenly, the eldest princess looked at Lu Xiyi again, "Are you cooperating with Zhen Guogong and giving half of the income of Xiaoyao Wine Workshop to Zhen Guogong?" ”

What Zhen Guogong hated most was the slander of others, and he was so angry that his hair almost stood up: "It's just unreasonable!" Shall I covet that little money? ”
