Cone heart no promise
Even so, she didn't have any means of leaking wine. Although it was difficult to swallow, he still drank all the wine in the bottle in small sips, and turned the bottle upside down after drinking. Not a drop of wine left in the upside-down wine bottle.
Qi Yanxun sat beside Nangong Jingnu, his eyes sinking like water.
Even Nangong Lie couldn't help but slap his hands in admiration: "Little sister is refreshing, women don't let men!"
Nangong Jingnu smiled sweetly, put the wine bottle back on the case, and said nothing.
Nangong Lie gave Qi Yan a deep look, the eyes were full of aggression, which made Qi Yan very disgusted.
Nangong Lie didn't say anything, got up and went to sit down at the case of the third prince, Nangong Wang, and the two brothers chatted happily.
Qi Yan picked up a glutinous rice cake: "Your Highness, eat a sweet cake and put it on a cushion."
Nangong Jingnu burped, grabbed Qi Yan's wrist, and leaned over to take the cake.
Soft and hot lips brushed Qi Yan's fingers, Qi Yan retracted her hand, twisted her fingers hidden in her sleeves, and clenched her fist.
"Your Highness is drunk."
Nangong Jingnu held her chin in one hand and played with the empty wine cup with the other hand: "Bengong's alcohol capacity is very good."
"Have a drink and get drunk. What else do you want to eat, Your Highness? Your Majesty will serve you a meal."
Nangong Jingnu sighed softly, pursed her lips, and did not answer.
Qi Yan leaned into Nangong Jingnu's ear, lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness has something on your mind? Why don't we go back to the palace."
Nangong Jingnu suddenly turned her head, there was only an inch between the two's breaths, and the sweet and greasy smell of alcohol got into Qi Yan's nose.
Qi Yan sat up straight, opened the distance between the two, and heard Nangong Jingnu say inaudibly, "Bengong wants to go back to the manor."
Qi Yan saw the "unsuitable" identity and age in the eyes of the other party, but this time she couldn't guess the reason.
"Okay, I will go and report to the second prince."
When he got up, he was stopped by someone.
"Brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law."
Shangguan Wu stood in front of Qi Yan with a wine bottle: "Come on, you and I met for the first time today, my brother-in-law toasts you."
Qi Yan bowed and bowed: "Brother-in-law forgive me, Qi Yan suffered from a serious illness when she was young, but after she was lucky enough to recover, her eyes were different, and the doctor repeatedly asked not to drink alcohol."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? What disease does my brother-in-law have?"
Qi Yan looked into Shangguan Wu's eyes calmly: "Plague. The plague in Jinzhou in the first year of Jingjia." In Wei Kingdom, the plague was a mortal disease, and naturally no one would stand up to question her look.
Shangguan Wu said in surprise: "There is still a way to recover from such a terminal illness? Which genius doctor saw it for my brother-in-law? Why not recommend it to help thousands of people."
"This miraculous doctor is a tutor. It's a pity that his old man passed away four years ago. Before his death, he was ordered to observe filial piety for only one year."
"It's a pity. So, my brother-in-law's eyes are not born?"
"No."
"Tsk, the dissatisfied brother-in-law said, I have seen eyes that are the same as yours. Many slaves in Youzhou have the same eyes as yours."
Qi Yan smiled indifferently and said calmly, "The eldest brother-in-law is well-informed and admirable."
Shangguan Wu kept staring at Qi Yan, only to see that the other party was calm and indifferent, his eyes dark and unwavering.
"Since my brother-in-law can't drink, I'm not good at being difficult. You must honor your brother-in-law when you entertain your brother-in-law alone in a few days."
"Thanks to the kindness of my eldest brother-in-law, Qi Yan is here."
"it is good!"
Qi Yan and Shangguan Wu passed by, but in her heart it was as if the river was overturned: the only people who know their identity are Master, Ding You, and Wu family brothers. These people are absolutely impossible to betray themselves, so Shangguan Wu's remarks are unintentional after all. Lost, or something else? This is the second time today!
Qi Yan explained the situation to the second prince, Nangong Wei, and the latter expressed concern and instructed Qi Yan to take good care of Nangong Jingnu.
Qi Yan returned to Nangong Jingnu's side and couldn't help frowning.
She had only been away for such a short time, but she actually drank a few more cups at her own discretion.
"Your Highness, let's go."
Nangong Jingnu raised her head and looked at Qi Yan with her drunken eyes for a long time before she nodded.
Qi Yan bowed to the Nangong sisters who were next to her: "Your two highnesses, Your Highness Zhen Zhen is incapable of drinking, so the minister and His Highness will go back to the palace first."
Nangong Jingnu was a little unsteady, and her own maid stepped forward to support her. When the group came to the entrance of the main hall, Qi Yan instructed: "His Royal Highness is drunk and it is not easy to blow your hair, you all stand in the hall and wait, I will pass the sedan chair."
"Here."
The servant at the entrance of Qi Yan's Ming Palace called the sedan chair to stop under the imperial steps, and took the cloak in Qiu Ju's hand to put it on for Nangong Jingnu in person.
The drunk Nangong Jingnu was very well-behaved and silent.
Just as Qi Yan took a step, cold sweat broke out: After being tossed by Nangong Jingnu, she almost forgot that her eyes "can't see at night"!
He quickly stopped and said to the waiter, "Please lower the light end, I can't see the steps clearly."
"Here."
Sitting on the sedan chair, Nangong Jingnu leaned softly on the sedan chair: "Go back to the mansion."
The waiter sang: "Get up from the sedan chair and drive the Weiyang Palace!"
Nangong Jingnu suddenly sat up straight and almost fell off the sedan chair. Qi Yan had to wrap her arms around her shoulders.
"Are your ears deaf? Go back to the palace!"
The servant replied cautiously, "Your Highness... The palace gate is closed early at this hour, and there is also a curfew."
"My father gave this palace the privilege of freely entering and leaving the palace. Who dares to stop me?"
The servant turned his eyes to Qi Yan for help, but Qi Yan was completely invisible.
In the end, Qiu Ju whispered: "Don't you know the temperament of Your Highness? Go back to the manor..."
"But... yes."
"Place at Xihuamen!"
The sedan chairs in the palace were not allowed to leave the palace without an edict, and a clever servant rushed away to pass the carriage for Nangong Jingnu.
The sedan car moved silently, Nangong Jingnu leaned weakly in Qi Yan's arms, raised her head and looked at Qi Yan and asked, "Where is the sedan car going?"
"Xihuamen, on the way back to the mansion."
"Um."
Nangong Jingnv's consciousness was awake, but her body didn't obey her orders, and the surroundings were swirling, especially when the cold wind was blowing: she felt nauseated.
Qi Yan's embrace was warm and safe. She also knew that this move was inappropriate for her body but she couldn't control it, so she didn't want to move in this person's arms.
Qi Yan patted Nangong Jingnu's arm and said softly, "Your Highness, don't sleep, you will get sick."
"Well..." Nangong Jingnu responded, but her eyelids became heavier.
Qi Yan sighed, shook Nangong Jingnu's body, and whispered next to her ear, "Where does His Royal Highness Shangyuan Festival plan to take me to play?"
Sure enough, Nangong Jingnu moved and opened her eyes.
"The Kongming lantern is definitely going to be put on, and this palace hasn't let it go yet!"
Qi Yan chuckled: "You can write your wish on the Kongming lantern, what wish does Your Highness want to make?"
Nangong Jingnv thought about it seriously: "Ben Gong hopes that the father and emperor will be healthy, the second sister can be happy, and the eldest sister will give birth to Lin'er successfully... Well, will it be greedy?"
Nangong Jingnu looked at Qi Yan expectantly and blinked.
Qi Yanqiang concealed the turbulence in his eyes and replied, "There are four sides to the Kongming lantern, and His Highness can make four wishes in total. But there are only three, so don't be greedy."
Nangong Jingnu was a little surprised: "Can you still promise one?"
"Well, what is your last wish, Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu pressed Qi Yan's chest and took advantage of her strength to sit up straight, and let out a long sigh of relief: "I'll promise you a long life."
For a moment, Qi Yan felt in a trance that something had stabbed her in her heart. She was not afraid of the pain, but what made her terrified was that she felt a few drops of bright red blood oozing out from the needle-sized wound from this already rotten and black heart.
Qi Yan took a deep breath and asked with a smile, "Don't your Highness promise one for yourself?"
Nangong Jingnv shook her head and counted with her fingers: "Father, the emperor is in charge of every day, and this palace hopes that he will take care of his health. The sadness between the second sister's brows is always inexorable, and this palace hopes that she can be happy." Nangong Jingnv suddenly After a pause, he continued with a bit of sadness: "Bengong heard that giving birth is a life-or-death matter for a woman. Back then, this is the eldest sister's first child. I hope she can give birth safely. As for you, kneel and kneel whenever you want. Yes, the foundation is weak and plagued by old diseases. Since you are so afraid of death, this palace will make a wish for you."
The fists hidden under the wide sleeves were clenched tightly, and Qi Yan gritted her teeth. I had to recall the scene of turning the king tent into a ranch before suppressing the strangeness in my heart.
He slowly exhaled the turbid air in his chest, and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"His Royal Highness, Xihuamen has arrived. The sedan chair cannot leave the palace without an edict. The servant has prepared the carriage for His Highness, and please move His Highness to drive it."
"understood."
Qi Yan asked the maid to lower the palace lantern, groped and got off the sedan chair, and stretched out her hand to Nangong Jingnu: "Your Highness."
After getting into the carriage, but after a few ruts, Nangong Jingnu shouted, "Stop!"
"Ugh!" The groom jumped out of the carriage in fear, and stood beside the carriage to ask for instructions, "What is your Highness' order?"
Nangong Jingnu covered her mouth and frowned slightly.
The inside of the car was pitch black, and Qi Yan, who "can't see", asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness?"
Nangong Jingnu reluctantly suppressed the churning in her chest: "This chariot-ridden Ben Gong wants to vomit."
"Then... the minister ordered a soft sedan chair?"
"At this time, there is a curfew, every door is closed, and the streets are empty. Where can I find it?"
Qi Yan was silent for a moment, and then replied, "Why don't you abandon the car and walk, ask the driver to drive behind you, and get on the car after His Highness is less uncomfortable?"
"Alright."
The stamina of the spirits is surging, and Nangong Jingnu can't stand still, and she is wearing a cumbersome palace costume and every step is very difficult.
Going down this route, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach the Princess Mansion even at dawn. Nangong Jingnu sweated after drinking, fearing to catch the cold.
Chuntao exclaimed: "Be careful, Your Highness!"
Nangong Jingnu stumbled and nearly fell, and Chun Tao and Qiu Ju were shocked in cold sweat.
The two teams of maids walking on both sides with lanterns stopped, and the figures on the street swayed with the lanterns.
"Two sisters, please stay."
After finishing speaking, Qi Yan took the initiative to squat down in front of Nangong Jingnv: "Please come up, Your Highness, I will carry you back to the manor."
