The man in black moved fast, but Su Qiang was not slow. The hall heard a burst of surprise: "Why is there no one!" She was already standing at the door of the temple, and raised her hand to signal the attendant at the door to go in and pass through.

She originally wanted to go back to the dormitory the same way, but she didn't know that the exclamation in the hall had already alarmed the guards. At this time, we can only respond to all changes with the same.

Adjust your breathing and wait at the entrance of the hall, and soon after the waiter is cleared, Qu Fang, the chief steward of the East Palace, came out of it and personally stretched out his hand to help, wanting to lead Su Qiang in.

Su Qiang was not used to being helped to walk, nodded slightly, raised her feet and walked in.

The crown prince Li Cong was still sitting behind the low couch, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, a pair of eyes raised and cut Su Qiang's face like a blade.

She noticed that Li Cong deliberately glanced at the bottom of her skirt.

The cotton cloth that had been wrapped in brocade had been thrown into the flowers by her, and it was now clean and unstained with dirt.

In front of the chamberlain, he didn't save much face for himself.

"The crown princess arrived late at night, is there anything wrong?" He still has a wine jug in his hand, and a drop of wine has not been wiped off the corner of his mouth, he should be lazy, but his words are a little alienated. Especially when he said the three words "crown princess", it seemed that he wanted to bite these words and throw them into the furnace to relieve his hatred.

That's right. They didn't have a husband and wife in the first place, and he couldn't imagine that the crown princess he married was an assassin who wanted to kill him.

The man in black didn't know where he had gone, so he must have swept out the back door and searched the house.

Qu Fang stood at the door of the temple, like a transparent person.

Su Qiang curtsied, with a respectful smile on her face, and said: "During the day, the prince once said that he would take his concubines to taste wine together, and at this time, I heard that the prince was in the Yuexiang Palace, so the concubines hurriedly came. ”

Earlier, he did say so, and in front of the regent Li Zhang.

"Do you know how to drink?" Li Cong asked.

Su Qiang looked slightly stunned.

"Do you know how to drink?" Her father had asked her the same question.

"I don't understand, but my father can teach me."

There was no shelf on weekdays, and her father, who doted on her and fulfilled all her wishes, only hesitated for a moment, and then smiled gently: "If you want to understand wine, you must drink first." ”

After saying this, he looked left and right and said, "It's just that we have to hide it from your mother." She's not well, and you can't annoy her anymore. ”

That afternoon, she tasted her first sip of wine, which was a soft red cloud syrup suitable for her daughter's family. Later, she drank many kinds of wine, and her father even went to a friend's house to ask for wine in order to give her a taste that she had never tasted before.

Within a year, rumors spread in the court and the opposition that His Majesty the Emperor's minister of the humerus had become a drunkard.

It's just that after my mother died, my father stopped touching alcohol. He said that his body should be well maintained so that he can protect her and her brother for a long time.

But he couldn't protect it.

Su Qiang's nose was sour, she raised her eyes to look at Li Cong in front of her, nodded and smiled: "Shangshu Mansion also has wine." ”

Li Cong looked slightly surprised, laughed, and suddenly pushed a pot of wine forward.

Su Yiming looks like an old stubborn, did he even allow his daughter-in-law to touch wine? Even if you are allowed to touch alcohol, if you don't drink it often and have a sharp sense of taste and thought, I'm afraid you can't say a word about understanding alcohol.

Seeing this, Su Qiang slowly stepped forward and sat down opposite Li Cong.

There were two small pink porcelain cups on the table, both of which were clean, and it was obvious that Li Cong drank them directly from the pot. She raised her hand to gently fold the cuffs, then took the jade pot pushed by Li Cong, and poured a shallow cup.

This wine is sweet in the mouth but burns the tongue, it has a unique flavor, and it makes people warm after just one sip. Su Qiang put down the wine cup, looked at Li Cong and said, "This wine is ordinary, it is Tu Su who drank in the first month." ”

Legend has it that Tusu wine was created by the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and it is soaked in traditional Chinese medicine such as cinnamon branches and atractylodes, which can benefit the temperature and yang, dispel wind and dispel cold. On the first day of the first lunar month, this wine will be served at the family feast. So she guessed that this wine was unusual.

Li Cong glanced at more than a dozen pots of wine on the table, picked a pot with the most delicate body and pushed it over.

Su Qiang didn't drink it again, just lowered her head and sniffed lightly, and said: "The prince has a good means, and he actually got the Jiudan gold liquid in the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." ”

Li Cong's face was a little stunned, and the corners of his mouth pursed slightly: "The person who offered the wine did say that he had restored the Jiudan Golden Liquid, but was it true?" ”

He just said this, but he didn't mean to taste it, he only said lightly: "It seems that Miss Su does understand wine." Can you smell what's in my hand? ”

He put the wine jug he had been holding in his hand in front of Su Qiang, and raised his eyes to look at her red little face.

Will a person who understands and likes wine kill himself? Looking at her vigorous appearance now, it is very different from the rumored Miss Su family.

He was stunned for a moment, Su Qiang had already raised his head again, and said softly: "The prince's pot is hard to guess, it should be mixed with several kinds of wine." The concubines only smelled the bamboo leaf green, autumn dew white and Hantan incense, and the rest were covered by these strong flavors, and they couldn't distinguish clearly. ”

Li Cong's eyes were clear for a moment, and he said in a deep voice: "You really know how to drink." ”

Su Qiang pursed her lips and smiled: "The concubine has finished tasting wine with His Royal Highness, and then she will go back to the dormitory to rest." ”

After she finished speaking, she pushed the jug forward, and was about to get up and walk away.

"Don't you ask me why I mix several kinds of wine?" Li Cong asked suddenly. His expression was heavy, and nothing could be seen on his handsome face. However, Su Qiang felt that he seemed to have less disgust with himself, and he wanted to say a good word to himself for the first time.

Su Qiang bent her knees and said: "Back to Your Highness, I heard that these kinds of wine are mixed together, and it is easy to get hangover and do not know who is wrong, and it is not great joy or great sorrow that cannot bear it." ”

In fact, this is a mind-damaging way to drink.

It is said in ancient books that if you drink a pot of these kinds of wine, you will forget the sun and moon when you wake up the next day, and you will not be able to wake up for a long time. Some people are overjoyed and rely on this wine to extinguish the fire in their hearts and return to normalcy. Some people rely on this kind of wine to forget the reality after great sorrow, and live for a day.

Remembering that they talked about the Guogong Mansion before, the prince must be too happy.

Li Cong looked at her steadily, held the pot of wine in his hand, put it to his lips and sniffed it deeply, and said, "Yes!" You're right, Hongu is, I'm so happy. ”

With that, he waved at her, and added another kind of wine to the jug.

Su Qiang's footsteps paused slightly, and she was a little hesitant to go. But when I heard the word happy, I suddenly turned my head and walked away without stopping.

Happy.

He's so happy.

She is cold in her heart, for the government of the country, but also for herself.

"Your Highness, the crown princess has already gone away." Qu Fang cautiously approached Li Cong and put away the cups left by Su Qiang on the table.

After all, it's a young couple, how nice it is to have fun drinking together.

Qu Fang was happy for Li Cong in her heart.

It seems that this young lady of the Su family is married correctly, or Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother is smart.

"This!" Li Cong suddenly stuffed the pot of mixed wine into Qu Fang's hand, "Throw it out and pour it out." ”

"This ......" Qu Fang was still immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of the crown prince and the crown princess just now, and she was a little confused for a while.

"You must throw it away, but don't drink it secretly." Li Cong laughed suddenly, "Poisonous." ”

He said.

There is only one person in the world who can poison him in front of him.
