Chapter 451 Do you want to take a concubine?
Su Yue raised her chin slightly and passively endured Xiao Sanlang's sudden enthusiasm. She felt his hot hands gently kneading her skin, causing her to shudder involuntarily.
Her whole body seemed to be on fire. She immediately forgot the emotions that had just occupied her mind and danced involuntarily to Xiao Sanlang's rhythm.
I don't know when snowflakes started flying outside, dancing in the air with the wind, flying up and down, fluttering, and finally turned into soft water.
It snowed for two days in a row, and it didn't clear up until New Year's Eve.
Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, and good news comes from the border: Marquis Weiwu and Master Zhou have reached an agreement with the Xiye Kingdom.
Xiye Kingdom is willing to immediately return the four Hexi states they occupied. Weiwuhou and Zhou Fuzi will stay in Liangzhou, waiting to take over the four Hexi states before returning to the capital.
Along with the good news came a secret letter from Marquis Weiwu to Xiao Sanlang.
The secret letter mentioned that the reason why the King of Xiye was so anxious to return the four states of Hexi was that he hoped to get the antidote to the hallucinogen as soon as possible.
Marquis Weiwu has promised the king of Xiye that Xiye's army will withdraw from the four states in Hexi and that he will give them the antidote on the day of the handover between the two countries.
Xiao Sanlang read the letter and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little troubled.
Bluegrass dew is needed to remove the hallucinogen, but now Yueyue's space cannot be entered at all, so there is no way to get the bluegrass dew.
A little tricky!
Emperor Zhang He didn't know about these troublesome things. He received the news from the fast horse. Long Xin was very happy and immediately announced that there would be a banquet on New Year's Eve. Officials of the fourth rank and above in the capital could bring their families to the palace to participate in the palace banquet.
On New Year's Eve, the entire palace city was brightly lit and very lively.
Xiao Sanlang and Su Yue, as the crown prince and crown princess, sat at the head of Emperor Zhang He, so naturally many officials and family members came to toast them.
Xiao Sanlang drank a lot of wine, and all the drinks offered to Su Yue were stopped by him.
"The Crown Princess cannot drink, so I will drink on my behalf."
All the female family members were full of envy, "The prince is really doting on the princess."
"The Crown Princess is so lucky."
Zhang Hedi, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but snort when he saw Xiao Sanlang carefully protecting Su Yue.
Prince Ping, who was sitting across from him, chuckled and said, "The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are so loving, it's really enviable.
It's just that today is New Year's Eve after all, a time to welcome the new year and bid farewell to the old, so His Highness the Crown Prince declined the wine offered by the ministers to the Crown Princess.
This is a toast to His Majesty and the Queen, and if the Crown Princess still lets His Highness drink it instead, wouldn’t it seem too disrespectful to His Majesty and the Queen?"
Xiao Sanlang's face darkened slightly.
Su Yue stretched out her hand and pulled him, shaking her head slightly at him, "I should be fine if I have a drink."
Xiao Sanlang frowned, somewhat disapproving.
Although Su Yue has been in much better spirits these past two days and is no longer as sleepy as before, but who knows whether alcohol will have a bad impact on her body.
He didn't want Su Yue to take risks.
But Su Yue had already picked up the wine glass in front of her, stood up and saluted Emperor Zhang He and Queen Xu, "Su Yue wishes your Majesty and the Queen to be healthy, safe and happy."
After she said that, she drank the wine in the glass so fast that Xiao Sanlang didn't even want to stop her.
As soon as the hot wine entered his stomach and intestines, Su Yue couldn't help but arch her eyebrows and reveal a satisfied smile.
She was a little greedy when so many ladies toasted to her just now. She hadn't had a drink in a long time.
But Xiao Sanlang didn't allow her to drink and blocked all the wine.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and caught Prince Ping's words before having a drink, barely overcoming her alcohol addiction.
Su Yue calmly stretched her hand to the wine bottle next to her, but Xiao Sanlang held her hand down.
"This is just one cup, no second cup is allowed." Xiao Sanlang looked at her helplessly.
Su Yue was a little disappointed and a little embarrassed, "Stingy, I only had a small drink just now."
Xiao Sanlang laughed helplessly, but still moved the wine pot a little further away resolutely.
He observed Su Yue's expression nervously and saw her playing with the wine bottle in her hand. Her bright almond eyes scanned everyone in the room with interest. To be precise, it was the wine glasses in everyone's hands. Her lips pursed unconsciously.
beep.
He couldn't laugh or cry, but he was still drunk.
He reached out and held Su Yue's hand, planning to take her out of the palace and go home as soon as possible.
At this time, another group of old ministers came over to toast him, many of whom had worked in his prince's palace and taught him.
Xiao Sanlang was socializing for a while, but when he turned around, he found that the bottle of wine was empty.
"Yueyue!" He glared at her angrily.
Su Yue held her chin, with a touching blush on her cheeks, and her bright eyes were as bright as the stars. When she heard his voice, she turned around and shook the wine glass with a smile, "You said there was no second glass, so I didn't drink the second glass.
Cup, haha, I drank directly from the wine bottle."
Xiao Sanlang......
It seems that I was very drunk this time.
He held Su Yue's hand and said, "Let's go home first and then we'll take care of you when we get home."
Su Yue smiled and hugged his arm, almost leaning on him, "It's not yet certain who will deal with who."
At this time, Prince Ping came over with a glass of wine and said to Su Yue: "The Crown Princess has been married to His Highness the Crown Prince for six years, but she only has one child, the Emperor's eldest grandson, and the number of heirs is too thin.
I wonder if the Crown Princess has any plans to recruit new people to the Crown Prince’s Mansion to help His Royal Highness?"
As soon as King Ping finished speaking, the originally noisy palace suddenly became quiet.
Almost everyone's eyes fell on Su Yue, especially those ministers who had wandering thoughts.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back, and there was only the Crown Princess alone in the backyard, so many people were secretly worried.
Especially when they realized that His Majesty was not very satisfied with the Crown Princess. If they could enter the Crown Prince's backyard, then in the future...
Thinking of this, many people looked at Xiao Sanlang even more enthusiastically.
Xiao Sanlang's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at Prince Ping with a cold look, "What does Prince Ping mean?"
King Ping drank the wine in his cup and laughed, "As a Zongzheng, I must consider the prosperity of the entire clan's descendants.
His Majesty the Crown Prince's knees are empty. In order to stabilize Yunzhao's country, His Majesty the Crown Prince should also enrich his backyard.
There are two well-trained maids in the old minister's house. One is good at poetry and poetry, the other is good at singing and dancing. They are both gentle and interpretive flowers.
The old minister wants to give them to His Highness, hoping that they can serve His Highness well and share the worries of the Crown Princess."
After saying that, he clapped his hands, and two graceful girls walked into the palace, one was beautiful and the other was gentle and delicate, each with their own style.
The two of them twisted their waists and walked up to Xiao Sanlang. They knelt down and saluted shyly, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
The palace became quieter.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Yue.
Zhang Hedi, who was sitting above, squinted his eyes and drank slowly, as if he didn't even notice the scene below.
Queen Xu next to her looked slightly gloomy.
This is a blatant temptation. If these two women enter the prince's mansion today, more people will be sent in tomorrow, and then the prince's concubines and concubines will naturally appear...
Prince Ping looked at Su Yue with a smile, "They are just two maidservants, the Crown Princess can't accommodate them, right?"
Su Yue took her eyes away from the two maids and turned to look at Xiao Sanlang doubtfully, "Do you want to take a concubine?"
Xiao Sanlang's face darkened, "Of course I don't want to."
Su Yue spread her hands, looked at Prince Ping and said, "He said he didn't want to take a concubine, did you hear that?"
