Chapter 237 Hongmen Banquet
Upon hearing Wu Xiyu threatening him like this, Qin Zhao simply lay down on the couch and said, "Whatever you want, I'll take a nap first."
She didn't care that Wu Xiyu was watching eagerly from the side, and soon fell asleep.
She slept until she woke up naturally. It was already dusk, and Wu Xiyu was still sitting beside her. It seemed like what Wu Xiyu said was true. If she didn't agree, Wu Xiyu would not leave.
Originally, Qin Zhao had just suspected that Wu Xiyu had prepared some trap for her to jump, but now that Wu Xiyu was not looking for her to attend the party, she felt that her suspicion might be true.
"If sister finds it troublesome, why don't we invite everyone to Wangyue Residence, which happens to be spacious enough. My sister is Liangdi, so it's right for all the sisters to stay close to her." Seeing that Qin Zhao had woken up, Wu Xiyu made such a suggestion.
Qin Zhao originally had no interest in this party, but now that Wu Xiyu had come up with such a bad idea, she had no choice but to compromise: "That's all, I'll just join. I really admire my sister's perseverance."
Wu Xiyu's eyes lit up and she couldn't hold back her smile: "As long as sister agrees, sister will go get ready now and wait for her arrival later. By the way, the party will be held at Wuhua Pavilion."
Qin Zhao responded softly and watched Wu Xiyu go away, the smile on her face fading.
Although she didn't know what kind of trick Wu Xiyu wanted to play, it would definitely not be a good thing. This was a Hongmen Banquet, and she had to be mentally prepared.
"Liangdi needs to be careful. I think Wu Liangyuan, a good person, will not come." Baozhu also had a bad premonition.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Let's see what tricks she plays." Qin Zhao said and asked Baozhu to help her choose a dress.
The weather was getting colder, and the Mid-Autumn Festival had already entered autumn. It was night again, so Baozhu chose a thicker dress. Especially since he hadn’t seen His Highness the Crown Prince for such a long time, tonight was a good opportunity, so of course this dress
It must have certain characteristics that can complement Qin Zhao's stunning appearance.
After Qin Zhao put it on, he walked around in front of Si Bao and said, "This is the one, it's enough to keep you warm."
"Liang Di looks good in anything she wears. When His Highness sees Liang Di later, he will be fascinated by Liang Di again." Baoyu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
When Qin Zhao heard Baoyu say this, she understood that Xiao Ce always commented on her as "glib" every time after flattering her. Speaking of which, she also felt that Baoyu had the same virtue as her when he said sweet words.
She was always lazy, with her hair in a bun. Si Bao wanted to dress her in gold and silver, but she thought it was troublesome and refused them all.
Baoyu drooled over it, but still couldn't convince Qin Zhao.
When Qin Zhao appeared in Wuhua Pavilion, the place was already overcrowded.
Speaking of which, since the day Qin Zhao entered the East Palace, today is the first time that I have seen all the beauties in the East Palace. There are probably more than thirty people in total, and each one is beautiful and unique.
But when so many beauties saw Qin Zhao, they all fixed their gazes. Even Xiao Ce looked over and couldn't look away for a long time.
Qin Zhao appeared in everyone's sight at that lively moment.
She was wearing a silk dress with flowers and flying butterflies made of clouds and satin, and a butterfly skirt with smoke and clouds. She was without any ornaments. She was like a fairy who accidentally broke into the world. She was not stained with a trace of dirt. She was as bright and pure as the bright moon in the sky.
Clean and radiant.
The noise at the scene faded unconsciously, and everyone remembered the Qin Zhao from before, who was so ordinary. How did Qin Zhao achieve such a qualitative change in temperament and beauty in such a short period of time?
When Qin Zhao saw everyone looking at him, he thought to himself, had he never seen a beauty before?
She went to the front seat and saluted Xiao Ce. Xiao Ce's expression was very calm. He was obviously calmer than these bumpkins who had never seen the world. He was worthy of being a prince.
She sat down at her seat, and when she looked up, she saw Wu Xiyu, who was sitting next to Xiao Ce, looking at her with a smile: "Sister Qin came too late, so I have to punish myself with three drinks."
Qin Zhao thought it would be good to drink wine, but this body had never drank wine before, so she didn't know how much she could drink. She could drink it before.
"I'm not a good drinker, why don't I punish myself by drinking three cups of tea." Qin Zhao said, picking up the tea cup and wanting to drink it all in one gulp.
Of course, Wu Xiyu would not let Qin Zhao off easily. She smiled and said, "That's Sister Qin's problem. Sister Qin is such a generous woman, and she can't be willing to give face to the Crown Prince even after three glasses of wine. Your Highness, don't you think so?"
"
She said and looked at Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce glanced at the naive Wu Xiyu, then looked at Qin Zhao sitting in the lower seat, and calmly opened his lips: "Women should not drink alcohol..."
"Is Your Highness looking down on Sister Qin? If not, there just happens to be a jar of good osmanthus wine. Let Sister Qin drink three cups. It should be fine." She said and whispered to Xiao Ce in a low voice: "Sisters.
They are all looking at me, I have already spoken out my words, if Your Highness stops me, where will I put my face?"
Xiao Ce took a deep look at Wu Xiyu and met her pleading eyes. In the end, he didn't say anything and acquiesced to Wu Xiyu's approach.
Afterwards, Luoxia brought the sweet-scented osmanthus wine over and helped Qin Zhao pour a cup.
Qin Zhao looked at the fine wine in the cup and secretly wondered if the wine was poisoned, right? But she couldn't test the poison in public.
At this moment, Xiao Ce suddenly raised his voice and said: "Pour a drink for everyone, including one here."
Qin Zhao was secretly happy and felt that Xiao Ce's method worked. It was just a jar of wine, and each person could finish it by one cup. Moreover, the wine that His Royal Highness drank, Wu Xiyu would not dare to poison the wine unless he wanted the Wu family to be buried with him.
Xiao Ce gave the order, and Luoxia went to the front seat first to pour wine, and the other beauties in the East Palace also poured a glass each.
Everyone just felt that the sweet-scented osmanthus wine was fragrant, and they knew it was a good wine when they smelled it.
After Qin Zhao smelled the aroma of the wine, his nose moved. It was indeed very fragrant, but he didn't know how it tasted. She sat still and did not drink. Seeing this, Wu Xiyu asked, "Why don't you drink, sister?"
"I don't drink well, so I'm afraid I'll make a joke if I drink too much." Qin Zhao smiled reservedly.
Wu Xiyu laughed when she heard this: "Sister is always fond of joking. Even His Highness drank it. Why don't you give it a try?"
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Qin Zhao took the wine glass. After taking a sip, she shook her head: "No, I can't get used to drinking."
Baoyu had never seen Qin Zhao drinking before, so she believed it. She became anxious and said, "Your Highness, Liang Di really can't drink. Please let Liang Di go."
When Xiao Ce saw this, he said, "You can't just drink it."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Baoyu hurriedly handed Qin Zhao another cup of tea.
Qin Zhao took a sip of tea, held his forehead and said, "I'm dizzy and want to sleep."
Wu Xiyu sat next to Xiao Ce. Seeing Qin Zhao's coquettish look, she could still try to smile: "It seems that my sister's drinking capacity is really bad. Today is a special day. My sister has a distinguished status, so I can't leave the table first."
