Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The Empress Makes Trouble

"What are you laughing at!"

Jiang Yilian panicked, realizing that things didn't seem to be as she expected.

Everyone was laughing, and some people's eyes were full of pity, she didn't dare to ask anyone else rashly, so she had to grab Mo Li.

"You're just not laughing."

Mo Li was too lazy to entangle with her, and was about to walk away with a perfunctory word.

"Stop!"

Jiang Yilian didn't know the bottom of her heart, and she reached out to grab Mo Li.

Mo Li dodged sideways, and his face sank.

"Miss Mo, slow down!"

Outside the crowd, a crisp voice came, walking this way.

"Miss Mo, the cousin of the courtier's daughter just came from Jinyang's hometown, please don't blame me if her words and deeds are inappropriate."

Jiang Yu, the young lady of the Qing family of Dali Temple, finally walked up, her eyes full of eagerness.

"Sister, what are you afraid of her doing, I ......"

"Smack!"

Jiang Yu shook his hand and was a slap.

"If you're a fool, stop talking, Miss Mo is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can you despise it?"

Jiang Yilian opened her mouth to cry, and when she heard Mo Li's identity, she was stunned in place.

"Not yet!"

Jiang Yu scolded, and when he turned his head to face Mo Li, a smile appeared on his face.

"Let you see the joke, the scenery ahead is good, I'll show you the way?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's flattery, Mo Li shook his head.

"This matter has nothing to do with Miss Jiang, and I will not distinguish between right and wrong."

"I'm not ......"

Jiang Yu wanted to explain, but he was speechless for a while.

The farce came and went quickly, and when Xu Yanyou appeared, no one said it anymore.

"The Queen Mother has arrived—"

The palace man's sharp voice was elongated, attracting everyone's attention.

"The Queen."

Everyone gathered around Xu Yanyou and saluted in unison.

Mo Li only felt that a gaze fell on him, and he raised his head to meet Xu Yanyou's gaze.

"Get up."

Xu Yanyou retracted his gaze and helped the nearest noblewoman.

"The sisters are all of the same age, and today's banquet is also a relief from boredom, so you don't have to be too formal."

"Yes."

The crowd responded in unison again.

Slowly, someone started talking, and the garden became lively again.

"Miss Mo, come to the palace."

Xu Yanyou suddenly spoke up and gestured to the vacant seat on the side.

Just one sentence immediately made everyone look at Mo Li.

Mo Li frowned, and felt more and more truly Xu Yanyou's hostility towards him.

She was clearly smiling and talking, but Mo Li just felt that she was not at ease.

Out of trust in his instincts, Mo Li coughed in a low voice.

"Thank you for the queen's love, the courtiers have occasionally felt cold in the past two days, and I am afraid that I will be sick to you, so I should be here."

"It's okay, come here."

Xu Yanyou's smile became more and more genuine, as if the two of them were old friends.

Helpless, Mo Li had no choice but to get up and step forward.

"Come, try this fruit wine, it's not intoxicating."

Xu Yanyou pushed the cup in front of him forward, and picked up the cup himself.

In front of so many people, there is always no problem with wine?

Mo Li was a little undecided, and hesitated to pick up his wine glass.

Xu Yan looked at Mo Li without a trace, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her drink the wine in the cup.

"Let's have the flowers brought up."

Following Xu Yanyou's instructions, many florists came in outside, each holding tall or short flowers.

While no one was paying attention, Mo Li moved his hand under the table, holding a dark handkerchief in his hand, which was already soaked with wine.

There are not a few people planted on the wine, she doesn't trust Xu Yanyou, so naturally she won't drink the wine she handed over.

As more and more flowers were placed in the field, Xu Yanyou's observation of Mo Li became more and more frequent.

With a twist of thought, Mo Li raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.

"The queen mother, the courtiers are not strong enough to drink, maybe they are a little drunk, and they want to go to a less crowded place to blow the wind."
