Chapter 227: The Present Situation
Chapter 227: The Present Situation
The fourth princess saw Murong Jue's face change in an instant, and knew that the information she got was reliable.
I heard that Murong Jue rarely drank alcohol when he attended the banquet, and there were few things in the palace that had anything to do with wine. The fourth princess guessed that Murong must not be accustomed to drinking, and even had a resistance to alcohol.
At this time, seeing Murong's expression of resoluteness, the fourth princess was even more determined in her thoughts. What's more, even if he doesn't reject drinking, when a few jars of wine are in his stomach, and the whole person is groggy, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have any foreign appearance.
The more I thought about it, the more relieved I felt, and the four princesses couldn't help but show a smug smile on their faces.
Xiao Xiazi watched his master's suddenly pale face from the side, and saw the treacherous look of the fourth princess, and he was even more worried.
He and Murong Jue glanced at each other, trying to persuade Murong Jue to leave, even if he left forcibly, it was better than hurting his own body. However, he saw the reassuring and non-arrogant emotions in Murong Jue's eyes, and he slowly calmed down.
Although Murong Jue looked indifferent to Xiao Xiazi and did not show any fear, he was still somewhat uneasy in his heart.
Since he was a child, he was not good at drinking. Maybe it's not good at it, but it's a compliment to your drinking ability.
It's not a rumored cup of drunkness, a cup of pouring, it's just that he has always disliked the taste of wine, and he is even more disdainful of the role of drinking.
Drinking a spicy and choking liquid, just to be able to forget the pain for a while, this kind of cowardly behavior, he has always been shameless.
Rather than using wine to dispel his sorrows, Murong Jue prefers to chew on the past heartache and pain over and over again. I survived it at the time, and when I look back on it later, I will only remember it more clearly. I am more aware of my weakness and powerlessness, and I am more determined to change the status quo, hoping that one day I can pull all the people who have trampled under my feet from their high positions and let them taste the taste of being humiliated.
Murong Jue glanced up at the wine on the table and the fourth princess sitting at the table who wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
Among these people, there is one more today, that is, the four princesses in front of them. There are also the people who framed his mother's concubine, the prince and the minister who used him as a joke, and Luo Xiaoran......
No, Luo Xiaoran, Murong decided to think that during the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet before, he was kicked out of the banquet by his own father and emperor.
When he was at a loss and resentful, it was Luo Xiaoran who chased him out and gave him a piece of moon cake. He didn't lack this kind of thing, but she was able to chase it out at that time, which has already shown her importance and respect for herself.
When everyone was ridiculing him, Luo Xiaoran's appearance was like a light. The bright girl had a bright smile, smiled softly and handed him a small piece of mooncake, and comforted him, telling him something funny.
Murong Jue can still clearly remember every little detail at that time. These warmth mixed with seemed to be a long time ago, diluting those old memories, making him unable to distinguish the attitude towards her in his heart.
The memory under the moon soothed his rejection of the situation in front of him, and Murong Jue looked up, wanting to see what reason the Fourth Duke would use to get him drunk and make him ugly.
It's just a few sips of wine, although he doesn't like the taste and it's not easy to eat, but the amount of wine is not so bad that it can be poured down casually. Listening to Xiao Xiazi, if he is drunk, he will only fall into a deep sleep, and I am afraid that the fourth prince's plan to see his jokes will be frustrated.
"Brother Seventh Emperor, you were wronged here just now, I toast you, maybe you can dissipate your anger." The four princesses hid their faces and chuckled, as if they were very happy.
Murong resolutely excused himself and said: "Fourth Emperor Sister, I really can't drink alcohol, and I don't dare to be angry with the Imperial Sister, so I won't drink this glass of wine." ”
He looked at the fourth princess's suddenly frozen face and didn't react too much, and said, "If there is nothing else, Sister Sihuang, I will leave first." ”
The fourth princess didn't care about thinking about Murong Jue's direct refusal, and only thought about keeping people first.
"Whatever you go, you will leave when you come, I'm afraid you won't give me this face. It's just a glass of wine, such a small thing, the fourth emperor brother refuses to agree, I don't know how much he resents me in his heart. The fourth princess said it so sadly, as if she was not facing someone she was insulting before, but as if she owed her lover.
Xiao Xiazi was also frightened by the tone of the fourth princess, shivered, and disdainful in her heart, not knowing who was arrogantly punishing the two of them just now. It's so abnormal at this time, at first glance, it's uneasy and kind, and if you keep it, something will happen.
Therefore, after Murong decided to leave, he followed behind. Seeing that Murong Jue stopped after listening to the words, he was anxious, hoping that his master would leave quickly, and that he could solve it well later.
Murong was very helpless in his determination, and he also wanted to leave here quickly, but the four princesses all said that they resented her in their hearts. There are many of her people here, presumably when he leaves this door today, there will be all kinds of rumors immediately. The light one will say that he is disrespectful to the eldest sister, and the heavy one will directly say that he came to the fourth princess's birthday banquet to make trouble.
He didn't care about a few rumors, but these words were likely to reach his father's ears, and his already difficult situation would be even more unbearable.
Therefore, Murong Jue had no choice but to turn around and face the fourth princess again: "How can I resent the Fourth Emperor Sister, as we all know, I am not favored, the Fourth Emperor Sister is willing to brave everyone's criticism and invite me to the birthday banquet, I have always been grateful." ”
It was a compliment and thanks, but the fourth princess turned pale when she heard it. If it weren't for the fact that she was watching Murong Jie's jokes and suppressing his self-esteem and status by the way, how could she invite him to such an important banquet. Unexpectedly, this kid actually had a good mouth, and most of her mockery was blocked back in a few words.
Therefore, the next thing is to succeed and not fail. As long as Murong Jue showed something strange after drinking, so many people watched, her goal would be achieved.
"If you know it's not easy to come once, why don't you stay longer? Leaving so soon, I would only think that I didn't entertain you well, and that you were still angry with you just now. The fourth princess smiled lightly, but her eyes were full of sarcasm and perfunctory.
Murong Jue looked at the fourth princess with a look of ambition, and sighed secretly in his heart, "It's just because there happen to be some things in the palace that haven't been dealt with yet, so I want to go back and finish it first, so as not to be unintentional here, lose my manners, and let everyone see the joke." ”
He didn't know what tricks the fourth princess had waiting for him, and at this time, he used things as an excuse, even if something really happened later, he also had a reason to care about things, and the fourth princess didn't let go.
The fourth princess choked after listening to Murong Jue's words. Isn't it just to let others see the joke, this person is good, and put the blame on himself.
