Chapter 459: Parting on bad terms
"There are no outsiders at the moment, it's just us, there's no need to be formal." Qin Zhao said, raising his glass and drinking it down in one gulp: "I'll do it first as a courtesy, you can do whatever you want!"
Baozhu had no time to stop him and saw his master finished the glass of wine.
That doesn't matter, Liang Di is in a good drinking mood today, so after a toast she had another glass.
So when Xiao Ce came to Wangyue Residence, he saw a woman holding Ruxi and going crazy with alcohol.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ce asked coldly.
Baoyu quietly pushed the orb out, while she hid behind it. Baoyuan and Baoping also followed suit.
Bao Zhu secretly thought that these dishonest people would push her out to die at the critical moment.
She didn't dare to hide it and responded truthfully: "Liangdi said that she was in a good mood during the Chinese New Year. She had not had a good meal after entering the palace for such a long time, so she asked the slaves not to stop her. So Liangdi drank too much without knowing it, and then...
It’s become like this…”
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao, who was holding Ruxi tightly, and saw her touching Ruxi's face and mumbling that Ruxi was beautiful.
He was about to step forward and pull Qin Zhao up when he heard her murmuring to herself: "I am sorry for you because I am selfish. I am afraid that I will remind you that my life with His Highness will turn into a dream."
…”
He stopped and frowned slightly.
He told himself that Qin Zhao was just drunk and talking nonsense. What logic could there be in what a drunk person said?
He stood there for a while, but Qin Zhao only repeated the sentence "butterfly effect" over and over again.
Qin Zhao slept until dusk before waking up.
The consequence of being drunk is a splitting headache. She had a good drinking capacity in her previous life, but her drinking capacity in this life is really not that good.
She was about to stay and look for water when she found Xiao Ce sitting in front of the dressing table, thinking about something and looking very deep.
"What is the butterfly effect?" Xiao Ce looked over. Under the swaying candle shadow, his eyes were like a deep pool with no bottom, mysterious and distant.
Qin Zhao was at a loss for a moment.
How did Xiao Ce know about the butterfly effect?
By the way, at noon she went to eat hot pot with Si Bao and Ru Xi. Because she was greedy for alcohol, she drank a little too much, and then she became less conscious.
As for the nonsense she said while drunk, she had no recollection at all.
"It's probably a seemingly unrelated little thing that may eventually lead to unpredictable consequences." Qin Zhao scratched his head: "That's probably what it means anyway."
"I have never heard of the butterfly effect. Where did you hear it?" Xiao Ce asked.
"I have heard this from my mother since I was a child. It's strange. I have almost forgotten everything else, but I remember this little story very clearly. My mother said, don't underestimate the impact of a little butterfly.
, a slight wave of its limbs may cause a big storm. When I was a child, I was dull, and I couldn’t understand the Zen meaning in it. When I grew up, I remembered what my mother said, and I was quite touched. When I was in Zhao
When I first met His Highness the Crown Prince, if His Highness had not said one or two more words to me, I and Your Highness might have never been together again." Qin Zhao shook his head: "My head hurts."
Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Xiao Ce stepped forward and gently pressed her temples, saying harshly: "If you drink too much, you should stop drinking in moderation. Now you have a headache of your own making. Who can blame you?"
"I drank too much just because I was happy. I won't do it next time." Qin Zhao responded hurriedly.
She only hoped that she didn't vomit more things while drunk, otherwise Xiao Ce's suspicion would sooner or later reveal all her secrets.
"Is there a next time?" Xiao Ce frowned coldly.
Qin Zhao leaned on his shoulder and complained softly: "I feel so uncomfortable, and your Highness still scolds me, showing no mercy at all."
Xiao Ce pushed her away and said, "Sit tight."
He gently pressed her temples again, and Qin Zhao felt happy, knowing that this trick worked.
Although Xiao Ce didn't ask any more questions after that, Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce was very suspicious. As long as he was suspicious of her, he would pursue her relentlessly if he caught any clues in the future.
She had just fooled her, but only Xiao Ce knew whether Xiao Ce believed her.
"Are you feeling better?" While Qin Zhao was thinking wildly, Xiao Ce's gentle voice came from above his head.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "Much better."
It was indeed much better to be pressed by Xiao Ce like this.
"His Highness will be turning 20 soon. Will the matter of selecting a concubine for His Highness also be put on the agenda?" Qin Zhao said in a casual tone.
As if he didn't expect her to ask such a question, Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment and didn't answer.
The air indoors is also somewhat condensed.
Qin Zhao's original intention was to explore Xiao Ce's tone, how this year's crown prince would choose his concubine, and whether he could open some backdoors for her, such as filtering out those shortcomings that she was not good at, such as female celebrities, poetry or painting.
, and dancing.
But seeing Xiao Ce's cold face, all her questions were stuck in her throat and she couldn't ask them.
"I, I'm just asking..." Qin Zhao said in a dull voice.
Shouldn't he be happy that he wants to choose the crown princess? If she is also angry, why should he be angry?
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
As soon as Xiao Ce said these words, Qin Zhao immediately became furious. She said sarcastically: "That's true. How can we, the Crown Prince, choose such a major matter as the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Ce pursed his lips, trying to explain something, but when he saw Qin Zhao's cold eyes, he couldn't say anything.
This matter was originally his fault, so it was normal for her to be angry.
Qin Zhao didn't want things to turn out like this. She couldn't control her temper. She didn't know how to deal with the words that hurt each other's feelings, so she simply left the dormitory.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's back and wanted to say something, but was speechless.
Bao Zhu heard the conversation between the two people inside, and she, the maid, didn't know what to do. Although it was just a simple quarrel, the atmosphere became tense because of the sensitive topic just now.
The final result was that His Royal Highness the Prince left Wangyue Residence.
Qin Zhao sat at the dining table and had dinner, but he didn't know what to eat.
She thought she was impulsive just now, but was she wrong to ask? If she didn't mention this matter, wouldn't it exist? She didn't even know that she couldn't even ask this question.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She put down her bowls and chopsticks. Baozhu saw this and said hurriedly: "Liangdi, don't get in trouble with yourself. Liangdi usually has a good appetite..."
"I'm so angry, how can I eat anymore?!" Qin Zhao said angrily: "Why can he lose his temper, but I can't have my own? It's a fact that he wants to choose the crown princess, why can't I even ask?
No?!"
She was so angry!
Neither Baozhu nor Baoyu dared to answer the question. Liangdi usually smiled and ignored everything she encountered. Even if she had a quarrel with the Crown Prince, she could figure it out quickly.
This was the first time they had seen Liangdi so angry.
