One hundred glasses of wine is almost ten kilograms, just one jar.
It was troublesome to pour so many cups, so five senior officials plus the Wei family father and son placed a jar in front of each other.
Wine is good wine. The palace brewed 'Man Ting Chun'. It would be difficult for ordinary people to drink a glass of it. King Rong was also very generous.
But when the seven of them looked at the newly opened wine jar, they felt dizzy and made no move.
Ten pounds of wine. If you drink it, even if you don't die, you will have to lie down for three to five days.
King Rong had a smile on his face, as if he had won. Even if there was one of his nephews among those who wanted to drink, he seemed to have ignored him.
"Everyone, feel free to drink. I have already asked the imperial physician to be ready. Don't worry."
The seven people had different thoughts. They probably didn't want to drink, but they seemed unable to escape now, so they had no choice but to reach for the wine jar.
It weighs more than ten kilograms even with the wine jar, which is a bit heavy, but if you pick it up and drink it, you can still steal the chicken. A little flow from the corner of your mouth, I guess King Zhong will not be so serious.
Just when they were about to drink, someone came in a hurry.
"Wait a minute!" It turned out to be Wei Guansun's mother, Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying rushed to the Wei family father and son, and then begged King Rong, "Second brother, this is impossible. If you drink this wine, both his father and son will lose half of their lives. Please spare them this time." "
When people in the Song Dynasty call them elder brother or younger brother, they always add "brother" based on their ranking, even in the royal family.
When King Rong saw his sister pleading with him, his face became embarrassed. He said, "Fourth sister, I don't have the final say on this matter. Guan Sun and Shiro just carried out the drinking order as promised."
Zhao Ying naturally came here after receiving a report. He knew a little bit about what happened, but he didn't quite believe it. But now that King Rong said this, others had no objections, which meant that it was indeed the case.
So she found Zhao Mengqi and took a few steps closer to look at the nephew. She didn't care to ask whether he was stupid or not. She directly said in the tone of an elder, "Silang, Guan Sun and you are just a joke between brothers. Why?" But are you serious? Just stop drinking this wine."
kindness? Is this the attitude of asking for help? You are an elder, are you right?
Zhao Mengqi narrowed his eyelids slightly and said in a cold voice, "I have a sincere heart. I don't know what a joke is. I only know that I am willing to accept defeat and will fulfill my promise!"
This unceremonious answer made Zhao Ying furious, "Zhao Mengqi! I'm your aunt! Even the officials treat me politely and affectionately. Don't you show any dignity or affection to me?"
"Auntie, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with family ties and face? I didn't force the bet. Everyone present witnessed it. You can ask them, did I do anything excessive? Did I lose? To fulfill the contract, if Cousin Wei loses, can we just make a joke?"
Naturally, Zhao Mengqi would not let Zhao Ying kidnap him morally.
The guests in the palace also expressed their support, "It was Mr. Wei who brought up the drinking order first. Prince Zhong lost a game and fulfilled the contract without saying a word. Mr. Wei has no reason to lie."
"You!" Zhao Ying was very angry, but felt that she could not convince her nephew, so she became even more angry.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do against Zhao Mengqi, Zhao Ying whispered to his maid, "Go and ask the old lady to come here quickly!"
Then he turned to Concubine Qian, "Princess, Guan Sunke still wants to offer you tea, you have to make the decision for him, otherwise Guan Sunke won't have the blessing to honor you."
The implication is that if Concubine Qian doesn't help, Wei Guansun's adoption will be ruined.
Concubine Qian was already worried about this matter, but she was a little undecided. Being so provoked by Zhao Ying, the pent-up anger in her heart was aroused.
She walked up to Zhao Mengqi proudly and said in a tone of voice, "Silang, you are the prince now and a loyal king, but before you entered the palace, you had to call me empress. Even now, I am your aunt. Today, I am your aunt." It's your birthday, but you haven't even paid a visit since you entered the house. Isn't that too rude? There is no filial piety at all. Now, I won't pursue this anymore. I only have one request, please cancel this bet."
Oh, she is indeed a noble lady from a wealthy family. She is very skillful in using her power to overwhelm others.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Zhao Mengqi showed a sneer, "I remember that I couldn't even speak before entering the palace. When did I call you empress? If you wanted to call me, you only called me empress Xie, and my Birth mother. As for you, what qualifications do you have? Tell me about filial piety? I haven't even settled the accounts with you for your neglect and harsh treatment of my biological mother and sister. How dare you make any unreasonable request to cancel the bet? Why? Just Because of your big face?"
After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect to accidentally eat such a big melon, and they immediately started talking.
"This Concubine Qian really means to suppress others based on her power. It would be fine if she were someone else. With the status of the Qian family and the identity of Princess Rong, she would be able to suppress others. But if she does this to Prince Zhong, I'm afraid it would be a bit disappointing. You must do your duty, no matter what, he is still the prince and crown prince."
"Doesn't this mean that the official family has agreed to re-elect the prince? I guess Concubine Qian doesn't take Prince Zhong seriously."
"Oh, Concubine Qian is also an elder after all. How can Prince Zhong have such an attitude?"
"Hey, you can't say that. Firstly, Concubine Qian was just a stepmother, and secondly, Prince Zhong adopted her early. She didn't show any favor, and secondly, she didn't show favor. As the crown prince, it's not a sin to be polite. "
"Didn't you hear that King Zhong's biological mother and sister were treated harshly in the palace? This must have something to do with Concubine Qian, the mistress. If King Zhong doesn't have any temper, he would be unfilial and disrespectful of his parents."
At this time, Prince Rong looked solemn and asked Concubine Qian, "Are you really treating the Huang family harshly!?"
How could Concubine Qian dare to admit it? She said harshly, "I have never done anything harsh!"
