Chapter 42: Drinking
"I know nonsense in one day, what do you think in your head?" Ji Qiang said jokingly, suppressing the strange thoughts in her heart, and still used a little force in her hands.
Xi'er covered her forehead, looked at her young lady with disgust, and puffed out her cheeks, "Where are the slaves and maids thinking, His Royal Highness King Qi must be interested in Miss!" ”
Then he pointed to the hanging dress and said: "There are only three Yunjin this year, one for the queen's mother, one for Your Majesty, and one for His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and now he actually gave it to the young lady to make this dress, this thought is too obvious!" ”
Ji Qiang smiled helplessly, but she also had some doubts in her heart, why did Xia Jinnian wade into this troubled water?
can stay out of the matter, but she always lends a helping hand when she needs it, and she does not hesitate to oppose Xia Chengmu at the banquet, and the people present are all smart people, so naturally they are all bright in their hearts.
I'm afraid that the reason why Ji Yuanxun is so angry is also because of this variable.
In his previous life, he had already made a mistake in his true life, and now he can't take a wrong step, Xia Jinnian has helped her again and again, what do you want from her?
Ji Qiang couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but she only felt that the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, until Xi'er called her several times before she reacted.
Xi'er probably felt that she had said the wrong thing, looked at Ji Qiang, who was tired, closed her mouth, and said cautiously: "Miss, it's getting late, let's rest." ”
Ji Qiang nodded, took a deep breath, and suppressed the thousands of thoughts in her heart.
High branches on the moon.
Ji Qiang couldn't sleep at all, she tossed and turned on the bed, and finally turned over and got out of bed, changed into clothes that were convenient for mobility, and walked out of the Guogong Mansion through the back door.
I went to the flowergarden in the west of the city where I met with Zhao Qiao on weekdays, and when I arrived, there was no one, so I couldn't help sighing, pushed open the fence, and saw the hibiscus that had bloomed happily in the flowerbed, growing extremely delicate.
Ji Qiang sighed secretly, and was about to leave, but she heard a light voice from behind her, "This king didn't know that Miss Ji still had the habit of enjoying flowers in the middle of the night." ”
Ji Qiang looked at the visitor with some surprise, dressed in a purple robe, a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling, the expression in his eyes was dark and uncertain, it seemed to be a little bright, and it looked mysterious and charming in the moonlight, as if he was a seductive goblin.
Ji Qiang's heart jumped, and she hurriedly looked away, stabilized her mind, and had just the right smile on her face, "Isn't the prince the same?" Or did you really like me and come with me? ”
Xia Jinnian didn't refute, just entered the courtyard of the flower garden and put the wine in his hand on the stone table, "The hibiscus is very good during this time, but if Miss Ji thinks so, then it is not impossible." ”
"Today is not an odd-numbered day, I came so early, but something?" Xia Jinnian said meaningfully, his eyes turning around her.
Ji Qiang pursed her lips, ignoring the mockery in his words, looked at him with a complicated expression, and had a lot of confusion in her heart, and swallowed it all back when she came to her mouth, "I just can't sleep." ”
"But because your cousin took your place at the banquet?" Xia Jinnian said that, he had already put the two wine cups on his own, as if he had thought of something, looked at Ji Qiang and said with a smile: "Now I should be called Princess Xiaoyang." ”
Ji Qiang looked at his casual appearance, chuckled, bored by the temptation in his words, and sat at the stone table, "Why are you here?" ”
"Would I believe me if I said that I had seen the princess today, and I could not forget it in my mind for a long time, so that I could not sleep, and I guessed that I would see you here, and I would come to you with a fine wine?"
Ji Qiang listened to what he said, her tone was full of jokes, but when she said the back, she looked straight at her, but there was no smile in her eyes, her deep eyes seemed to suck her in, and those three words seemed to be echoing in her ears.
Ji Qiang only felt that her heart was suffocated, and it seemed that there was some abnormal throbbing, so she hurriedly staggered her gaze, picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it up, and a spicy hot current rushed down her throat into her internal organs.
I secretly said in my heart that it was dangerous, and I was almost tempted by Xia Jinnian's beauty.
Believe it? In her previous life, she made too many mistakes, she was really afraid, and she couldn't stand scrutiny.
Ji Qiang shook her head, "The prince said that he laughed, how can I say whether I believe it or not, not to mention how I think it matters?" The prince is a smart man with ambitions, but if he wants to use me, to put it bluntly, the prince and I are now allies, so why bother to ridicule me. ”
Xia Jinnian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and slowly took a sip of wine, "What does Miss Ji think of this wine?" ”
Ji Qiang didn't know if he heard what he had just said, and he was a little angry in his heart, and without waiting for her to reply, Xia Jinnian continued: "This daughter has been red for fifty years, she is very mellow and fragrant, and she has enough stamina, Miss Ji is so anxious, but she is easy to get drunk. ”
"Fifty-year-old daughter Hong, doesn't the prince think it's a bit violent?" Ji Qiang chuckled, and the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
Xia Jinnian shook his head, "Beauty accompanies fine wine, I have long wanted to drink with Miss Ji, what is the waste of it." ”
Ji Qiang choked, angry and funny, knowing that Xia Jinnian was so flamboyant, he couldn't get anything useful, and after a few cups, he was already a little drunk.
Ji Qiang staggered to his feet, pulled Xia Jinnian's collar, his eyes were clear, and his lips and teeth were slightly open, "What is your purpose?" ”
Xia Jinnian never expected Ji Qiang to be so direct, or to act like this, her expression was stunned, and after listening to her question, the curvature of her mouth widened a little, and she took advantage of the situation to get a little closer, "Of course, I want to see how many surprises you will bring me." ”
Ji Qiang used strength in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face was a little irritable, "It's easy to say beautiful words, but please pay attention to the prince, don't cross the line." ”
The distance between the two was stretched extremely deep, and the distance between the lips and teeth was only an inch, Ji Qiang said with a slight warning, and pushed him away suddenly, but Xia Jinnian pulled him back, and swept past the corners of her lips like a dragonfly, "Is this what you said when you cross the line?" ”
Ji Qiang's face sank completely, the golden needle in his sleeve slipped out, and he held it in his hand and attacked his life gate with lightning speed.
But seeing Xia Jinnian looking at her with a smile, her eyes were dark, Ji Qiang seemed to wake up suddenly, took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent, left his embrace, and wiped the corners of her mouth vigorously, as if she was stained with something unclean.
"Thank you for the prince's hospitality, it is more profound, this wine should be drunk slowly by the prince alone."
