Meng Shi: *placing hairpins in her hair*
An attendant: *holding a mirror for her* you look very sweet and gorgeous today? Tai Hou jiejie.
Meng Shi: thank you.
Four maids: *entering* greetings Tai Hou.
Meng Shi: oh hi darlings.
Yes, your tea was excellent.
Thanks, Tai hou.
We're here to groom your fox tail.
Meng Shi: lovely! *smile* Now I wonder if you can handle them.
Of course, Tai Hou. You're delicate like Huangdi after all.
Meng shi: *makes her nine fox tails appear*
Maids: *astonished* WOW!!
well you are the goddess of Hulijings!
You're magnificent.
I guess we have to get some more maids.
yea. Like maybe 18 of them.
Meng Shi: *giggle*
Maybe we can dismiss grooming today.
I must get ready for the banquet.
Yes Tai Hou. As you say.
Attendant: *hands her a handfan*
Meng Shi: thank you. Let's go.
Tai hou: how was the caravan ride?
Meng Shi: it was so fun! I really enjoy it.
Great that you enjoyed, Tai hou.
Meng Shi: I'm supposed to do it again, and also meet Yao'er's citizens.
As you must.
Meng Shi: after that, I have to visit Moling Su.
Hmmm what a busy Huanghou.
~
Yao: *walking down the hall with team dimple and Rusong*
Xue yang: *whispers* Shanshan, look at Jiggy's dimples.
Su she: I was always looking at them. They're hella gorgeous.
Mo xuanyu: Yao gege is so perfect. I wonder what's his hair routine.
Xue yang: the guy wakes up with perfect hair.
Yao: team dimple.
Trio: *kneels* yes boss.
Rusong: Team D. Did your legs stop working? You three are so random.
Mo xuanyu: our A-Yao called us.
Rusong: huh. Is this what it's like to be a simp?
Yao: *laughing* why are you kneeling?
Su she: you got that emperor voice.
Mo xuanyu: you make out knees weak Yao gege.
Rusong: you look really nice kneeling. Heehee.
It makes me feel tall.
Yao: guys, stand up.
Trio: *stood up*
Yao: I was going to ask if everything is put into place.
Mo xuanyu: yea, Yao gege. You can always count on us.
Xue yang: obvi, Jiggy.
Su she: Huangdi, some of my sect members are coming to greet Tai Hou.
Yao: so lovely.
Meng Shi: Yao'er!
Yao: *smile* A-niang! You look stunning.
Meng Shi: *pinches cheeks* thank you, Yao'er.
Baby you look so handsome.
Yao: thanks. *kisses her hand in respect*
Rusong: Nainai!
Meng Shi: ahh Song'er. Such a gentleman.
You make me proud as well.
Rusong: I hope you enjoy the soiree.
Meng shi: of course I would.
Rusong: nainai, team d was simping for A-Die again.
Su she: *blush*
Mo xuanyu: Dianxia, don't sell us out.
Xue yang: because Jiggy is gorgeous.
Meng Shi: well obviously. I made him handsome.
Rusong: they went on their knees too.
Meng Shi: congrats Yao'er. You have mastered it.
Yao: haha. Certainly I have.
~~
During the soiree/banquet, some guests were seated while some others were moving about. Meng Shi however was chatting with some fox spirits, who have her flowers and expensive gifts.
A-Yao and Rusong also mingled with some guests along with team dimple.
Tai hou, you're really beautiful in real life.
Thank you for giving us such a brilliant and caring Huangdi.
Meng Shi: oh you recognize my A-Yao's talent. Yes he's indeed brilliant.
He fought a lot for women equality as well.
Also he protected his empire for threats.
Meng Shi: ahh, I'm so proud of him.
You're the sweetest thing, Tai hou.
Huangdi got his cuteness from you.
Imperial dimples.
Meng Shi: *smiling*
It's so nice to meet you. And thank you for the compliments.
Tai hou, let's toast to your perfect descendants.
Our sweetest Huangdi and ideal Dianxia.
Meng Shi: sure. I would like to toast.
The Mengs are a blessing to hulijings.
Xichen: A-Yao. *toasts*
Yao: *toasts*
Xichen: you look very happy today.
Yao: yes. Because the one I care about the most is here.
Xichen: that's so sweet. *caresses his face* stay happy like this. It's precious.
Team dimple: *fuming*
Su she: look at the lan. Making us look bad.
Mo xuanyu: we care so much about Yao gege.
Xue yang: lipsy is stealing the show. Let's do something.
Xue yang: Jiggy. Jiggy.
Yao: yangyang.
Xue yang: I'm just happy you're happy. And I'm more happy than Lan lips.
Mo xuanyu: A-Yao, your smile and dimples are our reason to live.
*kisses*
Su she: Lan lips, do you have somewhere else to be.
Xichen: but I'm just toasting with A-Yao.
Rusong: I'm sorry Shizun. You know how team D is.
Team dimple, are you hungry? I babysit them BTW.
Xue yang: no! And when do you babysit us.
Su she: well he is mini boss Dianxia.
Mo xuanyu: we want Yao gege.
Rusong; well there's your Yao gege.
Yao: team D, please don't fight Huan. *laughing*
Su she: can I still stab him?
Yao: no.
Su she: fine.
Zixuan: *entering* Yaoyao, I'm sorry I'm late. Pregnancy, remember.
Yao: aww Zishie.
*walking towards him* It's ok.
Meng shi: that Madam Jin's son?!! What is he doing here!
Zixuan: A-Yao, I'm so happy for you. May I meet your mom?
Yao: of course.
Zixuan: but would she want to talk to me? My A-niang abused you a lot.
Yao: come on. Don't be afraid.
Meng Shi: *glaring at him*
Zixuan: greetings Tai Hou. *bows* I'm Jin Zixuan, the emperor of peacock spirits.
Meng Shi: ah, quite decent. Unlike Madam Jin.
Pleasure to meet you.
Zixuan: I have never bullied A-Yao. We're actually really close.
Meng Shi: how sweet. Well you know, I have a rivalry with Madam Jin. Yet that doesn't mean that I hate you. You're my like my stepson.
Zixuan: really??
Meng shi: mhm.
My A-Xuan and A-Yao.
Zixuan: awwwwwww. *cries*
Yao: *smile*
Meng Shi: gosh Madam Jin will flip.
But I want that to happen. She needs a chill pill.
Zixuan: *laughing*
Meng Shi: A-Xuan, why do you have a little baby bump.
Zixuan: well Jimu (stepmom), it's a long story, well~~
Yao: it's gas.
Zixuan: yea it's gas.
Meng Shi: oh no. Don't your servants cook for you?
Zixuan: yea. But I get gasy easily.
Meng shi: poor baby.
Yao: *whispers* Zishie, A-niang wouldn't understand mpreg.
Zixuan: oh, I thought she would.
Well it is a new concept.
Yao: yea. And it would make her laugh.
Zixuan: lol.
~~
Thereafter Huaisang came limping into Yao's conference hall during the banquet.
(He was the cloaked guy who wanted to put A-qing against Rusong)
Huaisang: *limping* hey guys.
Su she: are you constipated?
Mo xuanyu: *judging him* have some conduct.
Xue yang: you look like my homewrecker Songlan. Stop it.
Huaisang: *sarcasm* thanks for your concern team dimple.
Yao: team D *nods*
Meng shi: Huaisang, you shouldn't scare team dimple.
Huaisang: *sobs* yes empress.
Meng shi: Yao'er, would he be alright?
Yao: definitely.
Huaisang, how did you get hurt?
Huaisang: Dage made me train again *sobs* and I hit my knee. I feel like I'm dying! Will my leg be amputated. I can't live without a leg.
Yao: oh my.
Xue yang: you perfectly can. It's like living without a tongue.
Huaisang: *disgusted*
San ge!!!!!
Yao: alright alright. Huaisang. Take a seat here. I'll call the physicians.
Huaisang: no no no. The hulijing physicians might find out the reason why I walk with a limp.
Yao: is there something you did? Other than martial practice?
Huaisang: n...no. why would you ask that? I don't want them to think that I'm weak.
Yao: well fine.
Su she: Huangdi, I thought that he was banned from Jing Manor. And where's Xuan Huangdi?
Zixuan: here. Next to the buffet.
Get huaisang away from me. *opens fan and looks away* I'm not in the mood.
Xue yang: what is hurricane Nie doing here?!
Yao: *sigh* it's a banquet guys. As Huangdi, I put things behind me and invited him along with dage.
Su she: ahh. We see. You're so smart and sweet.
Mo xuanyu: love you.
Xue yang: always will.
Yao: *smile*
Meng shi: smart Huangdi.
Yao: thank you A-niang.
Huaisang: *sobs* (this A-qing and her bamboo stick. Why did she have to beat me like that.
I'm not going to be able to walk properly for days)
.
Later on, a special someone arrives!
Sisi: Huanghou jiejie!!! Huanghou jiejie!
Meng Shi: Sisi!
Sisi: *goes to kowtow, but Meng Shi stops her.
Meng Shi: *hugs* no formalities!
Sisi: *looking surprisingly at A-Yao* little Yao'er! You have grown so much!
Yao: aunt Sisi. *hugs* I missed you!
Sisi: I missed you too, little hulijing Dianxia. Or should I say little Huangdi.
Yao: aunt Sisi, I'll always be your little Dianxia.
Sisi: *kisses his forehead* I know, baby.
Meng Shi: yes! He became such a wise and successful Huangdi.
Sisi: and he got really handsome too!
Meng Shi: I know right! He's the cutest thing.
Sisi: I'm so happy for our Yao'er.
Meng shi: mhm. And speaking of cutest, our Yao'er has an adorable son.
Sisi: ahhhh Dianxia!!! Where is he.
Rusong: *enters* I'm right here! Great aunt Sisi.
Sisi: omg. How adorable. He has his A-Die's face. And especially his dimples.
Meng shi: yes.
Sisi: *pinches cheeks* little Dianxia. You're the cutest.
Rusong: *blushing* A-Die, help.
Yao: *laughing* you need to be pinched by your great aunt and grandma once in a while.
Meng Shi: exactly!
Isn't Song'er adorable?
Sisi: yup! I'll give him and Yao'er all my love.
Meng Shi: mn.
Now where were you, darling?
Sisi: meimei. I was hidden in Dongying.
Well someone, I can't remember who it is, was so kind to arrange a hideaway cottage for me to stay somewhere around Moling. But I fled to Dongying because I was pulled into a controversy, also I was terrified if someone found and killed me.
Especially Madam Jin.
Meng Shi: oh gosh! That old bat is still around. Ehem...I mean...Madam Jin, *smiling in a regal way* I must pay her a visit.
Sisi: mhm. But in Dongying, I learnt swordfighting and the way of weilding the Katana. I offer my skill to your service and protection.
Meng Shi: ohh, how amazing. I'm glad that you learnt martial arts.
Sisi: yes. And I took the cultivation books you had bought for Yao'er.
Meng Shi: marvelous.
Yao: I have secretly organized the safe house.
Sisi: ohhh it was You?!! Thank you Yao'er. How should I repay you?
Yao: you don't need to.
Meng Shi: *hugs* A-Si. I want you to live near me.
And remember you wanted to be my personal maid.
Sisi: yes, I do, jiejie!
*bows* thanks for your gratitude!
Meng Shi: no formalities.
And you should teach me how to sword fight some time.
Sisi: you were always my inspiration. You showed that women can do great things in this misogynistic world.
Meng shi: *strokes head* yes. Darling, you can do anything.
A few Su sect members: *offering her flowers* greetings taihou.
Meng Shi: nice to meet you. And they're lovely! Thank you.
Tai hou, you're very pretty.
Do you have a skincare routine?
Meng Shi: *whispers* it's the warm spring water. Keep that between us.
Awww
I heard that Huangdi does the same.
We'll keep your secret.
Does Huangdi's dimples have its own beauty routine?
Meng Shi: of course it does.
Glamorous Mengs!
Sisi: glamorous indeed.

i think about huaisang's rage a lot. it's not loud or boisterous like his brother's, not escalating or expeditious like jin guangyao's. it's like a breeze, silent, almost untraceable, but there. it's a rage that waited over a decade to age into fine wine, a rage to not only hurt but destroy.

I think it's really funny that out of 3zun the one that probably likes drinking alcohol the most is in fact Lan Xichen.
Nie Mingjue canonically doesn't like drinking very much. Qinghe alcohol is probably effective for use as paint stripper so he might have a decent tolerance, he just doesn't enjoy it.
Jin Guangyao has likely deliberately worked up the exact tolerance he needs to drink a socially appropiate amount of alcohol at events without actully getting drunk, because I think the act of not being of sound mind in public is like a horror movie to him.
But Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen invented a whole new cultivation trick just to bypass his family's "one sip and we pass the fuck out" piss poor tolerance gene so he can drink as much alcohol as he wants. This man wants to go get white girl drunk with his sworn brothers so bad and neither of them are into it please pray for him.

MXTX really said: if you write a villian who has suffered abuse and trauma but also does cruel and evil things, the audience is going to divide into people who either say his trauma means his actions were 100% justified or people who say he deserved his trauma because of his later evil actions. When the truth is the villian is both a traumatised victim and guilty of their very evil crimes in equal measure. In fact I'm giving you a specific example so you understand what I'm talking about
And the audience proceeded to prove her point exactly
