That was because the Empress was still young and had less understanding of the world.
As they had expected, Long Yang said adoringly, "Your arrangement is the best, of course."
"It's nice that you have no objections," she said while pouring two cups of wine personally. She took out a porcelain bottle and poured out two dark, black medicinal pills. She crushed it with her fingers and sprinkled it separately into each cup.
She placed the cup on a tray and turned to a palace maid next to her with instructions. "This wine is specially prepared by me for the Prince of Xiangyang and Lord Wanyan to thank them for bringing all these beauties all the way here."
The palace maid was from Grand Phoenix Palace and had always served Lu Liangwei. She was considered loyal to Lu Liangwei and was lucky enough to witness His Majesty's love for her. That was why she did not look shocked even though she saw Lu Liangwei sprinkle the medicine into the wine cups.
