It was Nie Wenxun who took the lead in stroking his palms.
Everyone in the hall came to their senses and clapped their hands.
"No wonder it is said that a princess is hard to find. If this were the case in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the princess would have been coaxed into getting married before she even got hairpins."
Nie Wenxun was generous with his praise: "Especially the flower between the eyebrows, what is this painting?"
When he reminded her so quietly, everyone's eyes turned to Cheng Jingyu's eyebrows.
Ignoring these purposeful looks, Cheng Jingyu reluctantly danced, her ankles were now hot, and she knew they were swollen without even looking.
After taking a moment, Cheng Jingyu looked at Fu Yanci first, not even bothering to respond to Nie Wenxun's words.
Her dance seemed to please the whole crowd, but she was only dancing for one person.
And when he looked at it, his eyes suddenly hit Fu Yanci's bottomless eyes.
At that moment, everyone in this hall was reduced to the background.
Cheng Jingyu stood in the middle, looking stunning in red.
As for Fu Yanci, who was looking at her, his features were clean and cold, and Cheng Jingyu couldn't see the complexity in his eyes.
She wanted to raise her lips and smile at him, but the comments around her came flooding in again.
"Princess Princess?"
A trace of irritation flashed between Cheng Jingyu's eyebrows. She actually wanted to ask Fu Yanci in person how she was dancing.
But across the sea of people, she couldn't even say a word to him.
After coming back to her senses, Cheng Jingyu bowed slightly and said, "Your Highness, it's Iris."
"Iris? Why do everyone like iris today?" Su Daier looked at Nie Wenxun's desktop with an unknown smile.
The cluster of irises is still in full bloom and shows no sign of decay.
But in comparison, the one between Cheng Jingyu's eyebrows is even more eye-catching.
"Today I went to Nuanquan Garden with your highnesses. When I saw this iris, Jingyu fell in love with it, so she borrowed it to add a touch of color to tonight's dance."
She didn't feel guilty at all.
Even though the cluster of flowers was on Fu Yanci's table, she had already prepared these words.
Being so aboveboard, Xiao Shenggao would not be suspicious.
Sure enough, after hearing this, he waved his hand: "Purple kite means elegance, you will choose it."
Having said that, he still felt that Cheng Jingyu deliberately chose Iris, which meant that she was indeed interested in Nie Wenxun.
One is placed on the table, and the other is painted on the eyebrow. It is difficult not to think about it.
Therefore, among the many glances directed at Cheng Jingyu and Nie Wenxun, there is indeed a bit more ambiguity.
Cheng Jingyu entered the table as if she hadn't heard anything.
Her seat was directly opposite Nie Wenxun. After sitting down, he first toasted with a glass of wine.
Nie Wenxun raised his wine glass and smiled playfully: "Princess, for Zi Yuan."
Cheng Jingyu frowned, thinking that you are also good at pretending, but she had no choice but to reply: "Your Highness."
She originally planned to only take a sip, because she knew that her ability to drink was not very good.
In her previous life...she drank, got drunk, and got into trouble.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Fu Yanci.
But the other party had obviously retracted his thoughts and was talking to Xiao Yi.
Immediately afterwards, Nie Wenxun finished a glass of wine and showed the bottom of the glass to her, which meant that he was done and finished.
Xiao Shenggao was also looking at her.
Bite the bullet, Cheng Jingyu raised her head and drank down a glass of wine.
He immediately asked Chunhua to get some hangover medicine.
On an occasion like today, getting drunk will definitely cause trouble.
But as soon as she swallowed the glass, she felt another look fall on her.
——Xiao Heng.
Cheng Jingyu frowned. After what happened to the queen, she felt that she was really blind before and could not see that Xiao Heng was such a person.
Although Cheng Jiaojiao was hateful, Xiao Heng's lack of responsibility as a man made her even more contemptuous.
Just when he was about to pretend he didn't see it, Xiao Heng raised his cup at this moment.
"Jingyu's dancing has always been amazing, but I didn't expect you to be even more improved than before. I'd like to give you a toast, too."
After speaking, Cheng Jingyu drank it all in one gulp without waiting for a reply.
While drinking, his eyes did not leave Cheng Jingyu.
There was undisguised reluctance in those eyes, as well as aggression and scrutiny.
When it fell on Cheng Jingyu, she felt very uncomfortable.
It was as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, which was spitting out the poison and wanted to swallow her.
But she had already drank wine from Nie Wenxun. If she didn't drink the wine from her own prince, it would be like she didn't understand etiquette.
So she endured the discomfort and drank another drink.
After three drinks, other performances came and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
There was no shortage of people around Cheng Jingyu who came to toast and chat. It was difficult for her to cope with them, and the pain in her stomach caused by the wine gradually turned red on her face.
Until Fu Yanci stood up and left the hall.
Cheng Jingyu put the golden bottle on the table, startling the official next to her who came to toast her: "Princess Princess?"
"My maid hasn't come back with the soup yet, so I, the princess, will go look for her."
When she faced others, she could not hide her aura.
Moreover, her tone of voice was not low at this time, and everyone around her heard her.
If you pay attention, you will find that Cheng Jingyu is already a little drunk, and she was a bit tongue-tied in what she just said.
Seeing her going out, Su Daier raised a smile as if watching a good show: "Your Majesty, is the princess drunk too much? How about I send someone to take a look?"
"I go," Nie Wenxun suddenly stood up: "The wine is hot, go out and enjoy the breeze, but I don't like to be disturbed, so don't follow me."
After saying that, the hem of his robe flashed and the person had left the hall.
It was cold outside, and Cheng Jingyu was staggered as soon as she went out.
But then he saw Fu Yanci's figure flashing under the wall of the side hall.
"Suyi——"
Cheng Jingyu looked for someone in a low voice.
Suyi appeared silently, dressed as a guard and looking at her.
He was arranged by Cheng Jingyu to keep an eye on Yu Nixiu and Cheng Jiaojiao today. Now that those two are over, he has no other tasks.
Then came the mission: "Keep an eye on my surroundings and don't let anyone get close to me."
This was probably the last correct order Cheng Jingyu gave while awake.
Then she went in the direction where Fu Yanci disappeared just now.
When the wind blows on my head, it feels like a hundred sparrows are flapping their wings.
Fu Yanci didn't go far, but he obviously knew how to avoid the patrolling guards.
At this moment, a man suddenly died standing under an abandoned bamboo forest in the side hall.
The bamboo forest is also depressed in winter.
His back was against the wall, and his body was so tall that his shadow almost covered half of the palace passage.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fu Yan said goodbye and turned around. When he saw it was Cheng Jingyu, his face sank and he stood up to leave.
Such a palace banquet is nothing but boring, with a bunch of people pretending to flatter you.
Cheng Jingyu was able to handle such situations with ease.
Fu Yanci made a rough count and found that she had drank no less than five glasses of wine.
Didn’t you smile beautifully at those people just now?
The moment they passed each other, Cheng Jingyu reached out and grabbed Fu Yanci's sleeve.
Although her mind was not clear and she could not move, she still instinctively said: "Where are you going?"
"If you want to stay here, let me leave it to you." Fu Yanci said coldly, and pulled off her hand.
Cheng Jingyu couldn't stand firmly at all, whether it was because of alcohol or a foot injury.
She felt so hot, the blood rushing through her body.
She was stunned and thought again, Fu Yanci really hated her so much that he couldn't even stay with her for a while.
Thinking like this, he had instinctively given in to Fu Yanci since his rebirth, but now he didn't want to give in.
In essence, she is still a spoiled princess, and she may not bow her head in front of Xiao Shenggao.
So she grabbed Fu Yanci's sleeve more tightly and said, "You are not allowed to leave."
