Inverting black and white in this game

Xi Rui and the emperor's uncle were drinking in the private room.

The emperor's uncle continued sharing his hobbies with Xi Rui.

Xi Rui pretended to be dealing with it well, but he actually wanted to roll his eyes.

Xi Rui curled his lips and said, "These men are all sissy."

The emperor's uncle raised his eyebrows. "You haven't even grown all your hair yet, so who are you to call them sissy?"

Xi Rui did not mention Xiao Yuanshi right from the start. 

Instead, he praised a few of the imperial guards.

These people all came from some well-known family. 

He knew them and had a good relationship with them. 

Hence, even if this news were to spread, it would only be treated as a joke.

The emperor's uncle laughed. "Then, you should strike them off the list as soon as possible. I haven't heard of any problems with these people."
