Chaoyang glanced at Xiao Junze subconsciously, and as expected, his eyes were like murderous knives.
His throat rolled, Chaoyang stood up and carefully opened the black curtain.
The curtain was lifted, and instantly the tree was filled with silver butterflies flying in fright, astonishing everyone.
"Is this...an ordinary apricot blossom?"
When the butterflies are flying, the flower tree reveals its true form, which is the most ordinary but full of snow-white apricot blossoms.
All the courtiers began to talk about it. Princess Li was trying to be mysterious, and she made the most ordinary apricot flower.
"Father, apricot blossoms are Yunrou's favorite. Yunrou did not go looking for those rare flowers, but Yunrou dedicated her favorite flowers to father. May your Majesty have this day every year, harvest flowers in spring, and harvest flowers in late summer.
I received the apricots sent by Yunrou to whet my appetite and nourish my spleen." Chaoyang said with a smile and knelt down again.
"What a favorite flower." Emperor Long was obviously pleased by Chaoyang, and his smile could not be suppressed.
Seeing His Majesty applauding loudly, all the ministers began to be perfunctory. "This apricot flower is good, the apricot flower is noble, the princess has really good taste."
"Yes, this apricot flower can still bear fruit. It is beautiful and practical."
…
Chaoyang raised his head and glanced at the apricot flowers with butterflies flying around, his eyes flashing with sadness. Unfortunately, the flowering period of the apricot flowers is very short...
"Princess Li really put her heart and soul into it. I am very happy. I feel that there is no need to look at the rest of this. I will send this apricot flower to my palace. This year's Hundred Flowers Feast will be the culprit. Do you have any objections?" Emperor Long clearly said
I couldn't hold it any longer and quickly found an excuse to leave.
Chaoyang just gave him this opportunity.
Chaoyang had already calculated this point. Emperor Long must have known that Prince Yu could no longer hold his temper, so he would find a way to pave the way for Xiao Junze.
Because among the princes of Emperor Long, except for Xiao Junze and Xiao Chengen, all the others are useless.
"Thank you, Father." Chaoyang forced a smile, but wanted to show his happiness on his face.
Xiao Junze frowned and glanced at Chaoyang, this woman... seemed to have the magical charm of bringing the dead back to life.
Who would believe that she is not a witch?
Looking a little confused, Xiao Junze slowly clenched his fingers.
Murong Ling, who was kneeling behind her, burst into tears.
Shen Chaoyang! Why does this woman have such good luck everywhere! She must get rid of her!
"Okay, the feast of flowers continues, I want to go back to the palace to enjoy the flowers."
Emperor Long found an excuse to leave, and the royal family and nobles at the banquet could finally let go and drink to join the fun.
Chaoyang carefully restrained its sharpness, today... it was a little too dazzling.
With a pot of apricot flowers, she can win the title of Oiran. Chaoyang should be the first person in the history of Fengtian Baihua.
Sighing, Chaoyang just turned around when Xiao Junze pinched his wrist and pulled him back hard.
Chaoyang stumbled and almost lost his balance. His knees fell to the ground, and the pain was heartbreaking.
"The princess is really good at it." Xiao Junze had a smile on his lips, but he still wanted to maintain a doting look in front of outsiders. "Come, I will personally reward you with a glass of wine. The princess has really made me proud!"
Xiao Junze's words were full of threats, and it was obvious that he was angry.
Chaoyang didn't want to drink, and couldn't drink, so he refused in a low voice. "Your Majesty, you have to do it... Chaoyang can't drink."
Drinking alcohol will trigger the onset of nightmare poison in her body.
"What? The princess refuses to show her favor?" Of course Xiao Junze knew.
After drinking alcohol, the nightmare poison in the body will become more intense.
If it's serious, you'll lose a layer of skin even if you don't die.
Chaoyang clenched his hands nervously and shook his head.
Xiao Junze promised to fulfill her one request, but it would be a pity to just use it like this.
"The princess seems to be a bit ignorant of the importance of showing off. Why are so many people watching?" Xiao Junze said with a smile and motioned Chaoyang to look around.
In the Feast of Hundreds of Flowers, Prince Li’s Mansion came out on top. What does this mean?
Xiao Junze's restoration as crown prince is just around the corner.
All civil and military officials can come to flatter you.
Chaoyang bit her lip and shouted, her eyes instantly turning red.
She really can't drink...
What she fears most is not the pain when the nightmare poison attacks. Although life is worse than death, she can endure it. What Chaoyang fears most is the dreams that the nightmare brings to her, as if she is forcibly locked up in hell, making her suffer over and over again.
Experiencing the most painful memories in life.
Xiao Junze was obviously angry. He raised his head and poured the drink into his mouth. In front of everyone, he held Chaoyang's chin and kissed Chaoyang's lips.
Shengsheng passed the wine.
Chaoyang's eyes widened in shock, grievances and heartache surged up in an instant, making Chaoyang's whole body tremble. "Cough, cough, cough!"
He coughed and propped himself up on the table, his tears falling heavily on the table.
She...is being smart again.
Take a deep breath.
No matter how much she does, she can never have anything to do with Murong Ling.
At the Feast of Hundreds of Flowers, the rule over the years is that you can go beyond the etiquette, but you cannot break the rules.
King Li kissed Princess Li, which in the eyes of outsiders was an honor and favor, which completely confirmed the rumors of favoritism.
But for Chaoyang, this kiss was a warning, a punishment, and a poison.
As the strong alcohol entered his throat, Chaoyang's body began to heat up and tremble.
Nightmare attacks, life is worse than death.
What Chaoyang feels most wronged is that this poison... was for Xiao Junze.
"Ha..." He laughed softly, picked up the wine glass from Chaoyang and drank it again.
Since you've all drank, let's get drunk...
I'm drunk, maybe the wine doesn't hurt anymore.
"You!" Xiao Junze obviously hasn't come back to his senses yet, his heartbeat is a little accelerated.
Did he... go too far again?
But this woman always pissed him off.
He raised his hand and touched his lower lip and asked, is it because the aroma of the wine is too mellow? Why... He actually felt that Chaoyang's lips were sweet.
There seems to be some unfinished business.
Witch.
Chaoyang's title as a witch has been firmly established.
"How can you make those butterflies surround the apricot blossom?" Xiao Junze wanted to know.
"My lord, don't you know that Zuixiangyin can not only attract wild beasts, but also help flowers attract bees and butterflies?" Chaoyang was a little drunk, drinking himself one cup after another.
Xiao Junze's face turned dark. "Stop drinking!"
Does this woman want to die?
But then she thought about it, and she made herself agree to a condition. If this nightmare happened, wouldn't she go along with it and ask him to detoxify it?
Although the dragon blood fruit is precious, if Chaoyang begs him, he won't be able to give it to him.
He just waited for this woman to beg him.
"Your Majesty said that the Feast of Hundreds of Flowers is a feast of flowers to unleash your nature. You can drink as much as you want." Chaoyang's cheeks were a little red, and he pushed Xiao Junze's hand away, and simply drank himself from the wine bottle.
Xiao Junze's face darkened again and again, and he simply trapped the person in his arms and carried him away.
"The princess is too drunk to drink, please leave first."
…
Murong Ling watched Xiao Junze take Chaoyang away, her nails scratched her palms, and her whole body was already stiff.
In the past, Xiao Junze would never look at other women with that kind of look.
But now, when Xiao Junze looked at Chaoyang, he was attracted to her.
Why...how could that fake witch get into Xiao Junze's eyes!
She worked hard to get Xiao Junze's love and would never allow anyone to take Xiao Junze away from her.
