New Year's Eve dinner, with toasts and feasts.

He Yunxi looked at Nan Yu, who was surrounded by a group of people and lowered his head with a look of disappointment.

When she first arrived at the banquet today, she saw many women trying to talk to him, but she timidly hid in her shell and didn't dare to look for him.

She remembered that several of the court officials he was talking to now had daughters of marriageable age, and they looked at Nan Yu as if he were a son-in-law.

Nan Yan sat at the top, her eyes scanning the hall with boredom.

Soon, a little girl with a sad face, different from the others who looked happy, caught her attention.

Looking at the lady next to her, it turned out that she was the daughter of a cabinet scholar.

She remembered that this little girl was usually lively, cheerful and quirky, and she didn't know what had happened to make her so upset.

After keeping her eyes on He Yunxi for a long time, she found that the little girl looked in a certain direction from time to time. She pursed her lips when she looked, and was obviously a little shy, but after she looked away, she felt a little depressed.

This looks like a girl's first love.

"I don't know who this little girl likes?"

She followed He Yunxi's gaze.

There were two families there, one was the Nan family and the other was the Ruan family.

Is it...

There was a flash of surprise in Nan Yan's eyes.

Nan Yu is the only man of the right age in the Nan and Ruan families.

Thinking of what her mother said when she entered the palace a few days ago, she curled her lips and smiled.

If this girl is capable, perhaps her mother's troubles can be solved soon.

He Yunxi didn't know that Nan Yan already knew that she liked Nan Yu. She looked at Nan Yu again and saw that his eyes were never on her. She couldn't help but feel more disappointed.

What she didn't know was that Nan Yu looked at her when she came in, but when she saw many women surrounding Nan Yu, she felt sad and looked away, thus missing Nan Yu's sight.

It wasn’t that Nan Yu had never looked at her as she thought.

Feeling depressed, she picked up the small cup on the table and drank it all.

A rich fruity aroma mixed with a hint of wine instantly spread from between the teeth.

She looked at the cup in her hand and asked in shock: "Is this wine?"

Xiaoyu leaned over and said, "Miss, didn't you hear what the Queen said just now? This is the fruit wine that the Queen gave to the female relatives."

"Ah? Is this really wine?" He Yunxi looked confused, "I didn't hear what the queen said just now."

She was so sad just now that she didn't care about anything else.

Seeing how He Yunxi drank so heroically just now, Xiaoyu thought that her young lady knew it was wine!

She was also wondering when the young lady became so brave.

"Miss, are you okay?" She looked at He Yunxi with concern.

My young lady has never drunk alcohol before. Although this is fruit wine with a low alcohol content, she will definitely get drunk.

"fine."

He Yunxi shook his head and stood up, saying to Xiaoyu, "It's a bit stuffy here, I'm going to go out for a walk."

"Hey, Miss..." Xiaoyu quickly said to Mrs. He beside her. Without waiting for Mrs. He's response, she hurriedly chased after the person who had left.

Mrs. He looked at the two figures, thought that her daughter was a person who knew her limits, and then she looked away.

Xiaoyu chased her young lady out, but after turning a corner, she found that her young lady was gone.

It's still a bit dark here.

"Miss, Miss, where are you?"

She was afraid that something had happened to the young lady, so she quickened her pace and looked forward anxiously.

Just as she ran over, a figure slowly stood up next to where she was standing before leaving.

He Yunxi opened her misty eyes and looked around.

"Um...Xiaoyu, where's Xiaoyu? Wasn't Xiaoyu still here just now?"

Her figure was swaying.

He Yunxi felt a little dizzy when she just finished drinking the fruit wine. She thought she would feel sober if she went out for a walk and felt the cool breeze. However, the more she walked, the more dizzy she felt.

Just now I felt something tripping me. I bent down to remove a piece of dry vine, and when I stood up I found Xiaoyu was gone.

She staggered in the direction where the sound of light rain came from.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..."

"what!"

In the darkness, she suddenly bumped into the wall and screamed in pain.

Nan Yu watched the man in front of him fall to the ground after being knocked down by him, and quickly reached out to pull him up, "Be careful."

Although it was a little dark here, he knew who He Yunxi was as soon as she spoke.

He Yunxi's slender wrist was grabbed by Nan Yu, and with a slight force, the person in front of him fell on him as if she had no bones.

A sweet fragrance instantly wafted into Nan Yu's nose. His heart tightened and he subconsciously took a step back.

The person in his arms leaned towards him as he moved, as if she had lost her support.

"Well, how come this wall is still moving?"

She reached out and touched the "wall", then said with surprise: "Hey, this wall is still hot!"

Nan Yu's body froze instantly, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

The little girl in his arms leaned closer to him again, murmuring, "Hot wall, lean against it to keep warm."

"Miss, Miss, Miss, where are you?"

Suddenly, Nan Yu heard Xiaoyu's voice. He looked down at the drunk girl leaning on him, and helped her stand up straight with both hands.

After he let go of her hand, the little girl's body swayed a little, but she finally stood still.

Hearing Xiaoyu's voice getting closer, he dodged and hid in the dark.

"Hey, wall, where is the wall?" He Yunxi reached out to touch the wall, but didn't touch the "wall", and his brows quickly frowned.

Xiaoyu was so excited when she saw her young lady that she almost cried.

When she came over and saw her young lady waving her hands and saying something about the wall, she asked anxiously, "Miss, are you okay?"

He Yunxi pulled Xiaoyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you see the wall in front of me?"

Xiaoyu looked around and turned back and said, "Miss, there is no wall here!"

Then Xiaoyu thought of something, her heart tightened, and she pulled He Yunxi away.

"Miss, there is no wall here. You are drunk and you are seeing things wrong. Let's go back."

It's pitch black here, I'm afraid the lady is trapped in a ghost wall!

He Yunxi was still struggling when he was pulled away.

"My wall, my wall..."

The warm wall was comfortable to lean against, and she wanted to lean against it more.

The more she shouted at Xiaoyu, the more frightened she became, so that her pace became faster and faster, and He Yunxi was pulled into a jog.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hall where the banquet was held, light came through and there were more guards.

"Huh!" Xiaoyu let out a long sigh and was finally no longer afraid.

She turned to look at He Yunxi, who was looking angry. When he saw her looking over, He Yunxi walked away angrily.

"Miss, let's go in first, otherwise Madam will be worried if you wait for too long. I will take you to find the wall later, okay?" Xiaoyu coaxed her gently like coaxing a child.

Even though He Yunxi was drunk, when she heard that her mother would be worried, she immediately put down her pout and said, "Then let's go! Don't let mother worry."
