Chapter 991 Previous Life (5)

“These fireworks are really beautiful.” Shen Miao’s voice was low and had a hint of drunkenness. “When can I watch the full show?”

She suddenly smiled bitterly. “Probably never will.”

As she spoke, she heard footsteps behind her. The boots stepped on the snow, making a rustling sound.

Bai Lu was shocked and said, “You…”

Shen Miao turned around and saw someone walking out of the bushes.

The person was tall and wore a purple robe and green boots. His eyes reflected the fireworks in the night, looking especially bright and beautiful.

“Young Marquis of Lin’an?” Shen Miao narrowed her eyes at him.

That person seemed to be a little surprised. He clicked his tongue and said, “So the empress is actually an alcoholic.”

The guard behind him said, “Master, it’s time to leave.”

Bai Lu was also a little nervous. She did not know why Xie Jingxing was still in the palace. However, if the empress and the official were seen standing together, a rumor might spread, especially since Shen Miao had been having a hard time in the palace these days. Once she was caught with another man, she would naturally be slandered. At this moment, the further the Young Marquis of Lin’an stood, the better.

Bai Lu did not dare to speak too loudly, so she whispered, “Young Marquis, the empress is a little drunk. I’m about to help her back. Please pretend not to see us.”

Xie Jingxing glanced at Shen Miao and chuckled. He was not interested and turned to leave.

“Wait!” Shen Miao called him.

Bai Lu was stunned and was so anxious that she wanted to cover Shen Miao’s mouth. Shen Miao stared at Xie Jingxing. She was a little drunk. Ever since she went to the State of Qin, she had never drunk as much as she wanted. However, it was true that when people were drunk, they would feel relaxed and would do many things that they would not normally do.

She said, “I heard that you’re going to the northern border?”

Xie Jingxing crossed his arms and said with a faint smile, “Your Majesty, what can I do for you?”

Tie Yi and Bai Lu both stared at Shen Miao. Shen Miao smiled and grabbed the bowl she had just drunk from the table. She poured a large bowl of wine from the jar and showed it to Xie Jingxing. She said, “Young talent, an eternal figure. You are peerless in the world!”

Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. Bai Lu was so embarrassed that she wanted to drag Shen Miao away.

“The northern border is a very bad place.” Shen Miao patted his shoulder. She was petite, so when she patted his shoulder, she had to stand on her tiptoes. She looked at Xie Jingxing and said seriously and drunkenly, “I heard from my father that flowers don’t grow there. The terrain is treacherous, and there are many poisonous snakes, insects, and worms. It’s very easy to fall into a trap. It’s full of danger.”

“Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty,” Xie Jingxing said casually.

She raised the wine bowl in her hand at Xie Jingxing and downed it in one go.

Bai Lu and Tie Yi were both shocked. The former did not expect Shen Miao to drink it just like that, and the latter was surprised that the empress was so straightforward.

Shen Miao wiped her mouth and burped. She said, “This is a toast to you. You have to return triumphantly!”

Xie Jingxing stared at her. There was still wine on her lips that had not been wiped clean. Under the moonlight, with the pretense of an empress, she looked delicate and beautiful.
