The fifth prince was stunned by Yi Chenjing's sudden question, and the noisy atmosphere around him became stagnant. All their eyes focused on Bai Qige in disbelief.
The marriage of Princess Qi'an of Zhao Kingdom to Yi Chenjing, the seventh prince of Yao Kingdom, has long been announced. Although she is full of curiosity about Princess Qi'an who came to the palace as a symbol of humiliation, after all, the harem is not an area that the prince should interfere with, but everyone
Never mentioned this matter.
It was unexpected to take the initiative to bring his wife, who had already been engaged but had not been formalized, to the banquet without being invited. Seeing Yi Chenjing making things difficult for Bai Qige in every possible way, the princes present were all puzzled, but they all watched with a heart.
I hope that there will be a good show, and besides Bai Qige, there seems to be one more protagonist now.
"Seventh brother is too worried." Yi Chenxuan raised his glass and smiled, "I went to greet Concubine Jing during the day. I wanted to meet up in the evening, but I didn't want you to go to my father's study. I happened to want to leave.
I saw someone passed out by the well, and when I brought her to the room, I realized that this person was Princess Qi'an. Please forgive me for any offence."
Bai Qige didn't know what the relationship between brothers Yi Chenjing and Yi Chenxuan was in normal times, but what she saw in front of her was that after Su Yan, Yi Chenxuan was also implicated for helping her. Bai Qige felt depressed in her heart, and when she looked at Yi Chenxuan
I couldn't help but feel a little apologetic.
It's really surprising that brothers with similar facial features and the same blood have such huge differences in temperament.
Yi Chenxuan's answer was reasonable and reasonable. Yi Chenjing, who wanted to vent his anger on Bai Qige's private release today, knew that he had no reason to ask further, so he simply raised his glass and drank it in one gulp, with an unnatural smile: "In that case, what else should I do?
Thank you Fifth Brother for your concern. Bai Qige, you owed Fifth Brother a favor as soon as you entered the palace. How can you make sense if you don't accompany me for a drink today?" Yi Chenjing raised her hand slightly, with a cold smile on her lips: "Come here, please pray for me.
The princess pours the wine."
Alcohol is a hair-raising substance and is extremely detrimental to the healing of trauma. He knows this clearly...
Bai Qige raised her breath in her chest, enduring the swelling and pain in her limbs and smiling calmly: "His Highness has said so, so naturally Qige cannot shirk it, and I also ask the fifth prince to give me a small reward to accept this respect."
Taking the wine glass brought by the little eunuch, Bai Qige raised the wine glass and nodded to Yi Chenxuan from afar. The aroma was so fragrant that she nodded to Yi Chenxuan. She glanced at the side and saw Yi Chenjing's cold expression.
If he sets up a trap, she will break it; if he forces her, she will resolve it; if he wants to disgrace her, she will drag him into the water to see who can surrender first. No one in this world can make her give in, even if she is defeated.
Knees, her heart and spirit will never give up.
Caught between the two people who were fighting openly and secretly, the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan was at a loss. He could neither stand nor sit down while holding the wine glass, which was really embarrassing.
"Thanks to the Fifth Prince for taking care of me, Bai Qige will keep this love and kindness in my heart forever. I would like to thank the Fifth Prince for this glass of wine in advance for providing help in times of trouble. Please." After saying this, Bai Qige raised her head happily, and not a drop of the whole glass of strong wine was left.
Ordinary women hate the pungent and pungent smell of wine, but Bai Qige is different. In her previous life, she often had to sleep in the cold nights when performing missions, and drinking to keep warm has become a daily routine. Although the wine in front of her is strong, for her, drinking half a pound of it is definitely not a problem. The only thing she needs to worry about is
What matters is whether the body can bear it.
Fortunately, there are still advantages under the ruined appearance, which is consistent with Bai Qige's expectations - after drinking the whole glass of strong wine, there is no discomfort in the body.
It is rare for a woman to drink so freely and openly. The princes in the audience who did not know what was going on were all dumbfounded. It took a while before bursts of cheers broke out and the commotion resumed.
But this is not the end.
Bai Qige took advantage of the noisy and lively crowd and poured another full glass of wine. She held it in one hand and held it out to Chen Jing: "This glass is for Your Highness. As the saying goes, 'A hundred years of cultivation can make you cross the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can make you sleep together.'
It is a great honor for Bai Qige to be friends with Qin and Jin Dynasties. I hope that one day His Highness will be able to stay together till old age, and we can walk side by side even in the underworld."
If he could understand, he would understand. What she wants to say is that she will drag you with her even if she dies.
The imagined scene of Bai Qige begging for mercy did not happen. In addition to being disappointed, Yi Chenjing was also troubled by the unexpected situation in front of her. When she was in trouble, she had to hold the wine glass and knocked it heavily on the table, and drank it all in one gulp with a cold face.
This is still not over.
After shocking the whole audience, Bai Qige actually poured a third glass of wine: "This glass of wine is for all the princes. Qi Ge is not talented and knows nothing about singing and dancing skills. I can't entertain everyone here today. I hope all princes will understand."
He drank it all in one gulp again.
This kind of drinking method is beyond the reach of most men. Three cups of it go into the intestines, and the applause comes one after another, shocking the night.
He originally wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Bai Qige and embarrass her, but instead of falling into the trap, Bai Qige cleverly used singing and dancing to add to the fun. Yi Chenjing had to admit that he lost this move.
Accustomed to being a lady of noble status, Bai Qige's frankness immediately won the favor of all the princes. She even toasted you one glass at a time, and Bai Qige didn't refuse. Anyone who was respectful would fill their glasses and raise their heads to empty them.
He didn't care that Yi Chenjing's face was getting worse and worse.
No, it shouldn't be said that she had no scruples, it should be said that this was exactly the result she wanted.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, two puffs of crisp red flew onto Bai Qige's pale cheeks. From a distance, her fair and pink face was no longer so unsightly. The previous mocking comments had all turned into the east wind and dissipated, leaving behind
All that was left was the messy mess of cups and plates.
The banquet was a lively one, and more people got drunk. In the second half of the banquet, the drunkenness became overwhelming, and the rules became even more unruly.
The prince sitting in the upper seat was also flushed with drunkenness, and kept praising Bai Qige as a heroine among the drunken people. The prince closest to the center, who was unknown, drunkenly grabbed Bai Qige's sleeves and insisted on sitting next to her to accompany the wine.
It made the eunuchs behind him tremble with fear and kept whispering reminders; the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan did not drink much, his eyes were full of worry and he kept following the thin figure that was weak but seemed to contain infinite power. Whenever a prince toasted to Bai Qige, he would
He tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him at all; as for Bai Qige, she drank so much that she couldn't even stand still.
The most sober person in the waterside pavilion is probably only Yi Chenjing.
Every time Bai Qige drank a glass, his anger increased, until his eyes were dark and his fists were clenched. Her figure was not as cold and hard as she was in front of him. Sometimes she was graceful and graceful, sometimes she was charming and seductive.
The brothers were so distracted that they didn't even care about the ugly scars on Bai Qige's face, and even forgot about her special status as a married princess.
When a man seduces a woman, it is because the woman is weak-minded, but when a woman seduces a man, it is immoral, foxy, and filthy. The dignified seventh prince of the distant country's substitute wife is having an affair with so many people in full public view. How would he have any face if word got out?
The wine glass was placed heavily on the table, and a solemn figure passed in front of the drunken brothers. Yi Chenjing quickly walked to the center of the waterside pavilion and grabbed Bai Qige's arm, dragging her out without explanation.
"We will discuss the expedition tomorrow morning, so I will go back first."
Regardless of whether anyone heard it or not, Yi Chenjing left her blunt farewell without stopping for a moment and turned around to leave. As soon as she reached the pavilion, she was stopped. The person who stopped her was none other than the fifth prince Yi Chenxuan: "We agreed to drink together all night, why?"
You want to go back so early? But you are angry with them for breaking the etiquette and making a fuss?"
"It's my lax discipline that allows this kind of woman who doesn't know her own abilities and attracts bees and butterflies everywhere to ruin people's hearts."
Yi Chenjing grabbed her slender arm and pulled her forward hard. Bai Qige staggered drunkenly and was about to fall. Yi Chenxuan subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold her up.
"This..." He accidentally lifted up his thin sleeves, and the festering wound appeared in front of him. Yi Chenxuan took a deep breath, "Why didn't you treat her when she was injured like this? Seventh brother, there were so many people just now, it was inconvenient for me to tell you.
She said that there is no one at the moment, and she is really unhappy - she is still the princess of Zhaoguo after all. Even if you look down on her and dislike her ugly appearance, there is no need to torture her like this! When I went to Lianchenxuan to see her for the first time today, I still
She thought she was a maid who had done something wrong and was being punished. She was soaked all over and shivering, and her forehead was terribly hot. You were afraid that if you delayed her for another afternoon, she would get sick and die of fever. If you really don't like her, just throw her aside.
Out of sight is out of mind, and it will be difficult for both the father and the Zhao Kingdom to explain her death."
How could he not know these things? Yi Chenjing remained unmoved, and only kept a simple and perfunctory face while dragging Bai Qige roughly to Lianchenxuan.
Seeing two figures disappearing into the thick night from a distance, Yi Chenxuan chuckled and shook his head, taking two steps towards the dark woods: "Jinyan, go check the origin of this woman. It is said that the only daughter of the Bai family is weak and fearful of trouble.
But it seems that the previous rumors are completely untrue, I suspect that it is not Bai Qige who married Lianchenxuan, but someone else."
"Yes." There was a rustle of grass and trees in the forest, and after a moment there was no sound again. It seemed as if the reply from the male and female Mo Mo just now was just an illusion.
Far away from the waterside pavilion, Yi Chenjing suddenly stopped when he was about to reach Lianchenxuan. In the palm of his hand, his slender wrist changed from weak to stiff and pulled back. He let go of his hand and turned his body slightly, and the woman who was following him staggered behind him.
Standing steadily, his eyes are alert and agile. Is there any trace of the dullness of a drunk person?
The anger of being deceived filled her heart. Yi Chenjing frowned, and her eyes almost burst into flames: "Aren't you drunk?"
"It's just a few glasses of wine. If you're interested, I can drink ten more bottles with you and see who gets drunk first." Bai Qige smiled proudly, with no trace of sarcasm in her tone.
Drinking continuously, laughing wildly, from lifting the cup up to standing shaking, the whole process is just a play, a good show carefully performed for the princes and Yi Chenjing.
Through this scene, Bai Qige escaped the singing and dancing that forced her to make a fool of herself, and while making the whole house laugh, she also gave Yi Chenjing a show of strength. She turned from passive humiliation to active threat. The whole process was flawless, and she finally became deeply scheming.
Yi Chenjing was also surprised and was deceived by her.
The best confrontation is not to hide and dodge, but to turn disadvantages into advantages without anyone noticing, and to poke at the opponent's weaknesses.
"It's better not to show up in public, otherwise your face will be smeared sooner or later. Once this person is drunk, he can do any scandal. My personal honor and disgrace are small, but the dignity of the seventh prince of Yaoguo is different. You said
What about, Your Highness?"
The night breeze is blowing, the wisps of coldness are blowing, and the fragrance of wine is inhaling.
