Chapter 46: To host a banquet! I'll drink this aphrodisiac first as a token of my respect
Upon seeing this, Concubine Yue quickly pulled the cup from He Zhaojun's hand and pulled her hand: "Silly child, what are you doing? Go and get Doctor Sun!"
He Zhaojun lowered her head. "I'm not married yet, so I don't know how to get along with my husband. Naturally, I can't help much. I can only try this medicine first to relieve Concubine Yue's worries... If it really works, the Third Princess might as well give it a try."
"I really don't know, are you too smart, or are you really stupid? How can you take this medicine carelessly?"
"I'm fine. I guess the medicine hasn't taken effect so quickly." He Zhaojun seemed a little dazed, but in the eyes of Concubine Yue, she was putting her whole heart out there, and no one could ignore it.
Only the Third Princess noticed that a lot of the medicine spilled when it was poured into the cup, and she only took a sip of the tea, probably not even eating it. This person is not stupid at all, he is obviously very smart!
But at this moment, if she stood up and said something like, "He Zhaojun didn't eat, she's lying," her mother would probably drag her out and give her a good beating. Thinking of her mother's methods, the third princess pursed her lips and didn't dare to speak.
He Zhaojun knelt down again and tugged at the corner of Concubine Yue's clothes, looking cautious and testing. "Concubine Yue, the Third Princess' birthday is coming soon. There's a beautiful landscape in the mountains behind the Lou family..."
"Why not take this opportunity to invite all the young men and women to come along? After a good meal and a good drink, we can go boating on the lake. Then, have someone take the prince consort to the Third Princess's boat. Once the boat leaves the shore, the prince consort won't be able to leave even if he wants to. Let's talk it over. What do you think of this?"
The third princess didn't know why she mentioned her birthday, and subconsciously scolded her, "You!"
Upon hearing this, He Zhaojun quickly let go and bowed, "Of course, I will definitely not go and bother the Third Princess."
Concubine Yue kicked the Third Princess in frustration, strode up the stairs, turned around and tapped her forehead with her hand: "Shut up, I think this idea is good. No matter how you play music, sing, dance or perform acrobatics, you must keep the Prince Consort on your boat. Otherwise, I will definitely make you suffer!"
She reached out and touched He Zhaojun's forehead. It felt a little hot, and she knew it was the effect of the medicine. She became even more angry. "Okay, go find Doctor Sun for treatment first. Can you supervise Sanniang's banquet for me?"
He Zhaojun achieved her goal and agreed readily.
In the original drama, the entire He family sacrificed their lives for the country. The emperor was grateful for the He family's loyalty and bravery, so he specially allowed He Zhaojun and Lou Yao to get married during the mourning period, otherwise they would have to observe mourning for three years. Therefore, the wedding was held in a hurry and low-key. But now, her family is still there, so the wedding banquet is naturally not held at this time.
But the famous scene of Ling Buyi protecting Cheng Shaoshang happened to happen at this wedding banquet. If not, who knows how long Shaoshang would have to suffer the wrath. So she had to organize another banquet, gather the main people, and the location had to be as close as possible. This is how today's incident happened.
"What evil idea are you thinking of?" Wen Zidan followed behind He Zhaojun, not too far away. Seeing He Zhaojun staggering, he refused to step forward to support her and just watched from the sidelines.[23]
He Zhaojun looked back at him and stopped. At this moment, her face was hot and her whole body was weak. Seeing Wen Ziduan, the handsome peacock, she could hardly walk.
This medicine... is it so powerful?
When it comes to these strange and ingenious skills, it has to be the ancients!
She forced herself to walk quickly back to the side hall, picked up the teapot, and poured half of the tea into her stomach. The water flowed down her neck and into her chest covered by her robe.
"Your Highness, Third Prince, did you come here just to see me make a fool of myself?"
