Chapter 103 Making a Game
As the clear wine went down her throat, Nan Zhiyu caught a glimpse of the Crown Princess's gaze from the corner of her eye and nodded slightly.

Nan Zhiyu slowly put down her wine glass and looked at the second Miss Qi.

As a girl, she looked at the prince without any hesitation. She really didn't know how to write the word shame.

Ming Guanyue stood up in his official robes and walked to the front of the palace, raised his glass and said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is very happy this year! During the autumn hunting trip, fortunately, God has mercy on the prince and he was able to stay safe.

The war between Southern Qin and Northern Vietnam has come to an end, and the envoys from Northern Vietnam will soon arrive in Jingzhou City to discuss a treaty of friendship between the two countries.

Plus, the Queen Mother has returned from worshipping Buddha, so the Emperor and the Queen Mother are reunited, so happy and congratulatory!"

Ming Guanyue said this very well, and he immediately drank the wine in the glass.

With this warm-up, the atmosphere of the banquet also became lively.

As a small secretary, Qi Che did not expect that he could attend the banquet and was very excited.

After three glasses of wine, he was a little tipsy.

With his blurred vision, he stared straight at Nan Zhiyu who was in the high seat.

During the one year he spent in the Prime Minister's residence, he had no idea that beneath that ordinary mask, there was such a peerless beauty hidden.

If he could have discovered it earlier...

When Ming Guanyue returned to his position, he deliberately took a long detour, then staggered inadvertently and pounced towards Qi Che.

Qi Che raised his hand just in time to help him. Ming Guanyue stood up and accidentally knocked over the wine on the table. He smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Secretary Lang. I can't handle the wine."

Qi Che looked at his wet clothes and smiled calmly, "Master Ming, what you said is not a big deal. It doesn't matter."

Ming Guanyue patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "Secretary Qi is young and promising, and has reached the age of twenty. I wonder which girl he has taken a fancy to?"

"Your Excellency is drunk, don't talk nonsense. I will go and change my clothes and take my leave first." Qi Che subconsciously looked in the direction of Ye Nanzhiyu, then turned and left.

This little accident did not cause much waves in the water pavilion.

Nan Zhiyu watched for a while as if watching a play, and then she noticed the sinister look of Wei Qingye who was sitting next to the empress dowager, so she turned her head and looked back.

Wei Qingye's gloomy eyes stared at her, as if she had done something to offend him.

Nan Zhiyu noticed that many concubines present were looking at him, so he retracted his gaze and tasted the cherry in front of him carefully as if nothing had happened.

Wei Qingye secretly kept a note of her in his heart, and he knew that this account would be settled sooner or later.

The maid who came to pour tea poured her a cup of tea and said, "Dame Yue Liang, this tea is a little hot. You have to be careful."

Nan Zhiyu responded without taking it to heart. When she raised her hand to pick up another dish with chopsticks, the back of her hand accidentally rubbed against it.

The slightly warm water wet her sleeves, and Qingdai used the wine in the jug to help rinse them and dispel the heat.

"My lady, are you okay?" Qingdai frowned slightly and looked down at the teacup that had rolled to the ground.

This was indeed knocked over by our young mistress. I hope she is just being paranoid.

"Fortunately, the temperature of the tea is not that hot, so you don't have to worry too much."

Nan Zhiyu spoke to comfort her, looking at her wet sleeves and skirt with some regret.

"As long as the young lady is fine, it's fine. Fortunately, I asked someone to prepare a set of clothes. Why don't you go to the side hall at the back to change!" Lian Yue was very grateful that she did not forget to prepare these things even though she was in a hurry when she went out this time.

Otherwise, the young lady would be disrespectful in front of everyone.

Nan Zhiyu and the others left in a hurry, unaware that a conspiracy against her had begun in the palace.

A lady sitting at the table suddenly picked up a handkerchief from the ground and said jokingly, "I wonder which girl is so careless that she lost a handkerchief?" The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it caught Wei Qingye's attention. He knew who it belonged to at a glance.

Another lady looked at it carefully and asked in confusion, "Only the Qi family's secretary Lang passed by here just now. Could it be his?"

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not reacted, everyone couldn't help but feel confused. Was he really so fond of this Yue Liang Di that he could turn a blind eye to the crime of private sex between a man and a woman?
Ming Guanyue's heart sank when he saw this. It turned out that the favored concubine who could be stepped on by Ming Zhaoyi must have a different status in the prince's heart!

I just don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to remain calm when something substantial happens between these two people.

The Crown Princess, who was sitting beside him, could instantly sense the oppressive feeling emanating from the Crown Prince. She smiled and said in a dignified voice, "Are you two ladies probably drunk? Are you following the example of those street women and gossiping in public?"

The two were so frightened that they kowtowed and confessed their guilt.

The Crown Princess snorted coldly, "Today is to hold a banquet for the Queen Mother. Eating and drinking alone is not enough fun..."

Before she could finish the rest of her words, Qi Fuyao stood up and interrupted her, "Crown Princess, I am willing to present my talent."

The prince held her hand in front of everyone and said softly, "Everything is up to the Crown Princess."

Qi Zhaoying had never thought that the prince would be able to protect her dignity in front of so many people. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Qi Fuyao chose to play the zither to liven up the atmosphere, and then a guqin was placed on the open space in the center of the hall.

The sound of a long piano sounded, and Qi Fuyao looked in the direction of the prince, only to find that the seat had become empty at some point.

She immediately lost interest in continuing to play, but with so many people watching her, she couldn't just give up and leave, so she had to patiently continue playing.

As for the Crown Prince who was being worried about, he turned around and went outside to look for Nan Zhiyu.

Soon he heard unusual noises at the door of the side hall, and faint whimpering sounds came from inside.

Wei Qingye had a gloomy expression on his face and kicked open the palace door.

The master and his servants in the hall were frightened and trembled at once. When they saw that it was the Crown Prince coming, they stood in a row and smiled awkwardly.

Wei Qingye raised his eyebrows and looked at the three people who were guilty of their crimes. "What happened?"

Nan Zhiyu tried to explain, and the useless snack hidden under the table began to work hard to squeeze out the cricket pupae.

Wei Qingye saw Qi Che tied up with wounds on his face, and frowned, "Where did this filth come from?"

Nan Zhiyu ran up to him, whining and pointing at the dirt on the ground, complaining: "Your Highness, he was planning something bad. Fortunately, I brought Lianyue and Qingdai with me, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been bullied by now."

The prince held the man in his arms and kicked Qi Che in the stomach, "You bastard, don't learn your lesson."

After that kick, Qi Che felt like his internal organs were about to break.

Wei Qingye slowly stroked her little face with his hands and asked softly, "Nan Jiaojiao, do you want to know who did this?"

Nan Zhiyu nodded, "I do."

Then she was taken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and hid in the closet, waiting for what was to happen next.

 Because of some things that happened these two days, my physical condition has been quite serious due to the influence of emotions. I will only update three times in total in these two days. Just think of it as me being lazy.

  I will adjust my mood tomorrow and then resume my normal life.
  Actually, I wanted to say this yesterday, but I was worried that I would keep spreading negative energy and you would be affected. But if I didn’t say it, it would seem like I didn’t update the post properly every day.
