Chapter 0682 drinking poisonous wine(1/2)
As autumn goes and winter comes, the sky gradually becomes colder.
The new house where Bo Langjun lived was the palace when Qiuzijun was not the King of Chu, so there were warm walls in the house.
“Why is this winter so cold?”
Luo Jiaojiao, who couldn't rest, went to the yard to practice swords for a while, and ran to the room to rub her hands.
"Come on! Come here and warm up!"
Bo Langjun put down the book in his hand, fiddled with the fire tongs, and asked Luo Jiaojiao to sit next to him.
Luo Jiaojiao ran over to bake the grilled hands, and then went to make tea for Bo Langjun.
Li Zheng walked into the house with a plate of roasted sweet potatoes.
Luo Jiaojiao took it happily and brought it to Bo Langjun's table and started eating.
“Is it that delicious?”
Bo Langjun looked at Luo Jiaojiao after eating one, and even smacked her fingers, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Yeah! It's quite delicious! If you don't believe me, please try it!"
Luo Jiaojiao carefully delivered the peeled sweet potato to Bo Langjun's lips.
Bo Langjun smelled the sweet fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes and took a sip:
"Yeah, good! You eat it!"
Bo Langjun, who is used to eating delicious food, doesn’t think there is anything good about sweet potatoes.
Luo Jiaojiao was overwhelmed with food. She touched her abdomen and said she couldn't eat it anymore.
"You look like a pregnant child like this!"
Bo Langjun glanced at Luo Jiaojiao's round abdomen and joked.
"Do you really want me to give birth to a baby for you?"
Luo Jiaojiao asked him whispered with her head resting on her legs.
"Of course! Don't you like children very much? I don't mind having a few more."
Bo Langjun pretended to be nothing, and flicked Luo Jiaojiao's forehead with his hand.
"But Hongye has children, why don't I?"
Luo Jiaojiao frowned and asked Bo Langjun in confusion.
It turns out that she wants a child just like me!
Bo Langjun was so happy after hearing Luo Jiaojiao's words.
"No hurry! There will be!"
Bo Langjun touched Luo Jiao's delicate and smooth face with his hands and smiled.
He was really afraid that Luo Jiaojiao would not give birth to a baby for him!
As the New Year is approaching, Bo Langjun prepared a generous gift to Qiu Zijun.
Qiu Zijun looked at the gift list and smiled:
"I didn't expect that he was really rich!"
From the New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Bo Langjun and his wife lived in the palace to accompany Qiu Zijun.
Ji Lianer and Luo Jiaojiao are as close as before.
On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qiu Zijun took Ji Lianer out of the palace and went to the street market to watch lanterns with Bo Langjun and his wife for the first time.
Zhang Qian took the guards to secretly protect him. Guard Li and General Manager He were inseparable from Qiu Zijun.
"Isn't the Chu State peaceful? Stay away from you two!"
Qiu Zijun felt that they were a little annoying, so she let the two of them follow from afar.
"Aren't they thinking about your safety?"
Ji Lianer spoke softly.
"Well! I just don't understand the charm! My wife and I finally came out! We still have no freedom, why don't we make people angry?"
Qiu Zijun hugged Ji Lian'er's shoulders and said exaggeratedly.
"loquacious!"
Ji Lian'er also smiled with her eyebrows and eyes curled. At this time, she and Qiu Zijun were wandering happily and freely in the lantern market like the poor people on the street, enjoying the charming lights at night.
Bo Langjun had been dragged by Luo Jiaojiao to eat snacks.
Li Zheng and Hongye are watching the lanterns and guessing riddles.
"Master! This is a letter from the Hedong County Magistrate!"
Zhang Qian approached Qiu Zijun and bowed to him, and then presented a letter.
Qiu Zijun frowned and opened the letter and read it.
When Ji Lian'er heard that it was a letter from her father, she wanted to know what was inside.
"Your mother is seriously ill and wants to see you."
Qiu Zijun sighed in her heart.
This time, it was impossible for him to not let Ji Lianer return to Hedong County.
As soon as Bo Langjun and his wife finished the street snack, they saw Zhang Gan walking over and say that Qiu Zijun had already brought the princess back to the palace.
"It's time for us to go back too!"
Bo Langjun glanced at Li Zheng and his wife coming over with a lantern, and said to Luo Jiaojiao.
"All right!"
Although Luo Jiaojiao had not visited enough, she also knew that although Zhang Gan was called "Traveling" and actually invited them to return to the palace together.
The next day, Luo Jiaojiao learned that Ji Lian'er had returned to Hedong County due to her mother's illness. She told Bo Langjun that she wanted to send Ji Lian'er back.
Bo Langjun also wanted to leave Chu State, so he agreed to Luo Jiaojiao and her to see Ji Lian'er off.
Three days later, Qiu Zijun held a banquet to send her princess back to her hometown to visit her relatives.
At the banquet, Ji Lian'er danced a colorful dress for Qiu Zijun.
Ji Lianer's dance was light and elegant and beautiful, which made the other princes look straight.
They were all lamenting that their brother was so blessed that he married such a beautiful and intelligent princess.
"Sister Ji danced so well!"
Luo Jiaojiao held the fruit in her hand and looked at Ji Lian'er, who was so frowning and smiled.
"My mother's dance is indeed fascinating! It has been said since ancient times: 'Beauty is so bad that you will forget your soul!' But you are different, right!"
Prince Chu raised his lips and looked at Ji Lian'er with a hint of provocative eyes.
After Ji Lian'er finished her dance, she was angry when she heard Prince Chu's words. She took the wine pot and wine bowl from General Manager He's hand, poured a glass of wine and sent it to Prince Chu and chuckled:
"After drinking this bowl of wine, you can really be ecstatic!"
Prince Chu also responded with a glass of wine and put it on the tray.
"Does my mother dare to drink this glass of wine?"
"What are you afraid to drink together?"
Ji Lianer picked up the wine glass, making Prince Chu frightened. He really didn't dare to pick up the bowl of wine.
"What? Are you afraid of the poison in the wine? Or are you poisoning me?"
Before Ji Lian'er finished speaking, the third prince shouted as if outside the door:
"Come on! The imperial physician is here to check!"
"Slow down!"
"Take the wine over!"
Qiu Zijun shouted in a deep voice.
Guard He walked to Prince Chu's desks, took the wine glass in Ji Lian'er's hand and the bowl of wine she toasted to the prince and delivered it to Qiu Zijun.
Qiuzijun picked up the wine glass with both hands.
Bo Langjun's heart suddenly rose. He knew that these two glasses of wine were probably poisonous. He was closest to Qiu Zijun, and only he could stop Qiu Zijun from drinking those two glasses of wine. However, he didn't do that.
Ji Lianer and Prince Chu were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They watched Qiu Zijun pour all the wine into their mouths.
"There is no problem with the wine! Let's leave! The uncle and his wife, the third emperor, the prince and the princess stay!"
Qiu Zijun waved and ordered the hike to withdraw.
The retainers stood up and left the seat and dispersed.
