Yusui Chang'an

After getting the Queen's approval, Lin Jinyan thanked her profusely, followed the palace maids of Fengqi Palace, and got on the sedan chair heading to Wangshu Palace.

Along the way, I was thinking about how to start the conversation.

When they arrived at the place, the palace maid spoke to the guards, and as usual, she politely reminded Lin Jinyan and Bai Zhi, telling them not to mention outsiders when they saw Concubine Yu, and not to mention Wangshu Palace to anyone.

Lin Jinyan agreed obediently, and with complicated thoughts, she took Bai Zhi into Wangshu Palace.

While waiting for Su'e to pass on the message, Lin Jinyan had already thought of what to say. When she saw Yufei bowing calmly, she was called forward and sat down.

Yu Fei leaned on the table, resting her head on one hand, with a faint smile on her lips and a lonely look in her eyes. She raised her glass and looked at Lin Jinyan:
"It's rare to see you, maybe you can drink with me?"

Lin Jinyan: "I am weak and have never drunk alcohol, so I cannot accompany you, Your Majesty. But this is the first time I have seen you drink."

Concubine Yu was drunk with a hint of sadness:

"I have never held a cup before, and you rarely come, so I have never seen you before. Today is a day worth remembering, let's drink a few glasses of wine to remember the old friend."

Yu Bi was worried that Yu Fei might get drunk, so she gently advised:

"Your Majesty, please drink a few cups less. When the little prince wakes up, he will be worried when he sees you so upset."

Yu Fei drank it all in one gulp, and then filled her own cup again:
"It's okay. He slept late last night while copying scriptures. He just fell asleep now to make up for his sleep. He will need to sleep for a while before waking up. He can finish this pot of wine."

Yu Bi frowned and tried to persuade her again, but Yu Fei just poured herself a drink and didn't seem to want to listen. Just when she was in a dilemma, a pair of bare hands took the wine pot away:

"My queen, drinking is harmful to your health. Since we are old friends, I don't want to see you sad. It's rare for me to see you, and I just want to have a good chat with you. You should drink this wine again next year."

Yu Bi and Su'e were surprised at Lin Jinyan's boldness, but were also grateful for her help, so they quickly followed suit and advised.

Yu Fei was disturbed by the three people. She waved her hands and sighed, "Okay, okay, take it away, but after two glasses of wine, two or three people came to complain, which really spoiled the fun."

Lin Jinyan smiled as sweet as a flower:
"I've ruined your Majesty's mood for drinking. I'll tell you about my embarrassing childhood experiences, hoping that you will be happy and make amends."

After drinking the wine, Concubine Yu had a hint of laziness in her eyes that was not usually there. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and motioned Lin Jinyan to start speaking.

Lin Jinyan bit her lip shyly: "This is too embarrassing, can you only tell the queen?"

Yu Fei laughed and said, "You are still a child now, and even a baby in your childhood. Who would laugh at you?"

Lin Jinyan covered her face in shame and anger, looking like a little girl:
"You've already started laughing before I even started talking. Just drink your drink. I won't talk any more."

Upon hearing this, Yu Bi hurriedly took the wine jug and utensils he had just put away and walked two steps away:
"Your Highness is teasing Miss Lin. I am waiting outside the door and cannot hear anything. Miss Lin, just keep talking."

After saying that, Yu Bi motioned Su'e to follow him out. Su'e looked at Lin Jinyan and her servant worriedly, and slowly followed Yu Bi.

Yu Bi handed the wine utensils in his hand to the palace maid, went into the house, dragged Su E, who kept looking back, out of the door, and whispered:

"It's rare for the queen to be so happy. Miss Lin has come here many times and nothing has happened. What's wrong with you just turning a blind eye?"

Su'e frowned and said nothing. She poked her head to look inside the room. She smiled and listened to Lin Jinyan's words, but she didn't go in after all.

After some chatting and laughing, seeing Lin Jinyan looking at the door while drinking tea, Yu Fei's smile faded and her drunkenness also faded a bit:

"You deliberately sent the servant away. Is there something wrong?" (End of this chapter)
