Minglong

Chapter 449 Zisu has a flash of inspiration!
After several rounds of toasts, the girls present were all a little tipsy, and their initial slight restraint disappeared.

Duoduo gently played the pipa, while Ling'er, Qingmo, and even the ghost who was participating in its true form for the first time danced together in the hall.

Lin Wanyi whispered to Bu Yuehua, while Empress Dowager Guo leaned in close, probably still talking about her misdeeds during the day. Zisu, holding a coal ball, pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Meanwhile, the two reserved older sisters, Nangong Ye and Ye Yunchi, weren't so quick to let loose. They sat on either side of Marquis Danyang, keeping him company while he drank, their expressions rather strange. They would occasionally frown or look around, suggesting that something else was happening beneath the table...

Jiang Xian was a newcomer and was a little surprised to see that her usually serious seniors had suddenly become quite unruly.

After all, what's the difference between this scene and the Akashitai?
No, the quality of the concubines in the Asahitai Palace wasn't that high...

Will there be an open-air conference later...?

Should I take it off...?

Jiang Xian recalled the scene she witnessed in the study earlier that day and realized it was quite possible. A sense of unease crept into her heart, and she began to understand why the invisible hand had prevented her from staying there…

Just as he was lost in thought, a voice suddenly called from beside him:
"Xiao Biao?"

"Ok?"

Jiang Xian turned around and saw Xie Jinhuan, dressed in white robes, had risen from his seat at some point and was standing beside her with a wine cup in his hand. Jiang Xian blushed and quickly raised her cup in return.

"Young Master Xie? Weren't you sitting over there? What brings you here?"

Xie Jinhuan had been enjoying himself watching the dance with women on both sides, but as the head of the family, he couldn't neglect his patron. Seeing that Xiao Biao was alone, he came over and offered a toast with a smile.

"Even when slaying demons, you need to balance work and rest. There's no need to be so particular about relaxing when you come back. Why don't you go up and dance along? I'll teach you if you don't know how."

Jiang Xian was embarrassed and quickly shook her head:

"No, no, I'll just sit and watch. Young Master Xie, there's no need to entertain me..."

Seeing this, Xie Jinhuan didn't force him. He thought for a moment and with a flick of his right hand, the clear wine in the glass turned into a misty fog in his palm.

Then, the scene of a cat-and-mouse battle emerges from the mist as the light and shadow shift.

Although this technique has no practical use, being able to flirt with girls is a great supernatural power. For this reason, Xie Jinhuan carefully studied and improved it on his way back. At this moment, he already has four or five tenths of the power of a ghost, and can barely make his image appear at will, but he still has no sound.

"Wow~"

Jiang Xian's eyes lit up, and she moved closer to Xie Jinhuan, curiously examining him:

"Young Master Xie is amazing! How did you do that?"

"It's a bit complicated. If you want to learn, I'll teach you slowly later."

"Oh... okay~"

Jiang Xian was truly craving this technique, and at this moment she watched intently without saying a word.

Xie Jinhuan shook his head and chuckled. Since there were several vibrant and enchanting wings right in front of him, he naturally didn't pay attention to the cartoon. Instead, while keeping Fairy company, he kept an eye on the swaying giant swing...

……

Meanwhile, not far away.

Lin Zisu sat obediently at the table, rubbing the coal ball that was being flaunted in a daze, watching a group of older sisters dance and play.

However, just as Lin Zisu was admiring how good Miss Ye's figure was, she suddenly noticed out of the corner of her eye that Empress Dowager Guo's brows were furrowed and that she was glancing to the side with a hint of murderous intent!
?

Lin Zisu was slightly taken aback. Following the gaze, she saw Xie Jinhuan run up to Miss Jiang, the two of them shoulder to shoulder, behaving very intimately...

Hey?
Is the Empress Dowager jealous of Miss Jiang?

Lin Zisu was a die-hard fan of "The Secret History of the Empress Dowager." Seeing Xie Lang neglecting his duties and going to spend time with others, while the Empress Dowager stood by and watched, she was furious and naturally couldn't stand it.

To ensure the two would eventually become a couple, Lin Zisu's eyes flickered. She felt she couldn't just stand by and do nothing. So she picked up the wine pot, poured two cups of wine, and subtly drugged them. Then, she rose and went to Xie Jinhuan's side.

"Xie Lang, what are you looking at?"

Xie Jinhuan quickly averted his gaze from his wife and accepted the wine cup offered by Zisu Daxian:
"A few little tricks, want to watch them together?"

Lin Zisu was indeed interested in the image in Xie Jinhuan's palm, but she hadn't come here to play games. After downing her drink in one gulp, she gestured with her eyes towards the distance:

"The Empress Dowager is alone. Why don't you go and greet her, Young Master Xie? Miss Jiang and I are about the same age, so it would be a good opportunity for us to get to know each other."

Xie Jinhuan turned to look at her, only to see that Sister Guo, who had been looking this way, quickly looked away, pretending to be nonchalant...

?

Seeing that Sister Guo seemed to be neglected, Xie Jinhuan naturally had to make amends. He nodded and thanked the Great Immortal Zisu for the reminder, then got up and went to the window: "Sister Guo, why aren't you dancing today?"

Empress Dowager Guo was so angry at Mei Conggao today that she had no heart to dance and now only wanted to retaliate!

She had just seen Xie Jinhuan flirting with Mei Cong Gao, and although it infuriated her, she remained calm and observed until the other party brought trouble upon himself. When she discovered Xie Jinhuan had returned, she responded:

"I'm not in the mood today. You just do your own thing and don't worry about me."

Xie Jinhuan knew why Sister Guo wasn't in the mood, so he sat down next to her.
"Today was truly an accident. Next time I help Sister Guo recover, I will definitely make arrangements in advance and ensure that such a little incident never happens again..."

As he spoke, Xie Jinhuan frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was the alcohol that emboldened him or if Sister Guo was too charming, but he suddenly felt a little agitated.

This restlessness wasn't just about wanting to have fun; it was a strong impulse. Seeing the red-haired, blue-eyed exotic beauty, he especially wanted to have a mixed-race daughter. With his natural features and Guo Jie's exotic looks, wouldn't she become the most beautiful woman in the world in the future...?

Xie Jinhuan wasn't sure why he suddenly wanted to become Lao Deng. After thinking about it for a moment, he dismissed it as a random thought and continued talking and drinking with the others.

Empress Dowager Guo wasn't oblivious either. She noticed that Ah Huan was being a bit too aggressive, as if he wanted to have a child with her. She knew Ah Huan would be embarrassed in public, so she summoned her apprentice to keep her company while they drank.

Then Bu Yuehua was stunned. She had just sat down in front of her husband, who seemed to be quite drunk, and he started flirting with her in various ways, exuding an irresistible masculine charm. If she hadn't been relatively sober, things might have really turned out that she was being pulled behind the beaded curtain and caught cheating in public...

clang clang ~
The banquet continued, and before we knew it, it was already past midnight.

The ghost may say he's going to do something ruthless, but a truly skilled player should remain behind the scenes, concealing his achievements and fame. Publicly stirring up trouble only incites collective hatred.

If Ye Hongshang wants to become a respected leader, she certainly can't openly mock everyone. In reality, she acts more like a shrewd and understanding older sister, but she's not as ruthless as Zisu Laomo in her work.

However, Lin Zisu was ultimately too young. After all her planning and maneuvering, although no one knew the methods she used, the result was not as smooth as she had imagined.

After all, Empress Dowager Guo was not the deeply infatuated heroine in the book, but rather a savior with whom she had just begun to have an ambiguous relationship. It was impossible for her to follow Xie Lang back to his room just because he showed her affection. She maintained her composure throughout the banquet and did not get drunk in the end.

Xie Jinhuan had no idea what Zisu Daxian had done. After the party, he did what he always did: first, he took the weak-willed Naigua back to her room to rest.

Ye Yunchi was quite skilled, but being born into a Confucian family and raised with strict rules, his alcohol tolerance was indeed average. At this moment, he was dizzy and leaning against Xie Jinhuan's chest, his heavy robe no longer concealing his figure, looking like a scholarly lady who had been drugged and taken back to her room by a blond-haired man.

"I can go back by myself, I know the way..."

"It's alright, I'll see you off. I haven't seen you all day, where did you go?"

"I went to the Confucius Temple and asked the Confucian sages of all dynasties not to blame me..."

"Hmm? What am I blaming you for?"

"I...I knew you were a married man, yet I couldn't shake off those impure thoughts and acted improperly..."

Xie Jinhuan found it somewhat amusing, and with his arm around Sister Ye, they returned to the room and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"The Marquis's mansion is so big, it's not like there's not enough room for everyone, why bother with these things..."

"Humph……"

Ye Yunchi collapsed onto the bed, feeling dizzy, her breasts slightly open, her legs dangling over the edge of the bed, and she murmured with her eyes closed:

“A woman should be a good wife and mother. If she doesn’t have a proper status, how can she properly educate her husband and children? By the way, about what I told you last time about getting pregnant, you still haven’t agreed…”

Xie Jinhuan noticed the unsuspecting Nai Gua and leaned down slightly to gently pull at her strapless bra:
"Sister Ye wants to have my baby, how could I refuse? When do you want to have it?"

Ye Yunchi was caught in a fatal trap by Ye Daxian last time, and now he wants to have a legitimate marriage. However, he wants a child so that he can gain status through the child, and only a proper marriage can make it legitimate.

Ye Yunchi thought for a moment, intending to ask about the marriage, but suddenly felt something was wrong with her chest. She opened her eyes and gently nudged Xie Jinhuan's head:
What are you doing?

"Oh... I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"I'm drunk, you...you can't take advantage of me..."

"Sigh, don't worry, don't you know what kind of self-control I have? I have a bottom line..."

Xie Jinhuan said that, but his actions were anything but honest. He leaned his head against her and kissed her repeatedly...

"Isn't this taking advantage of someone in distress?"

"It's okay, I was just touching it..."

"..."

Ye Yunchi didn't dare open his eyes to look. His lips moved, but seeing that Ah Huan insisted, he finally didn't resist. He just kept muttering to himself:
I'm drunk... I'm so drunk...
