Chapter 95 Sword Dance! Drink as much as you want
"What's wrong with them?" Ling Buyi felt puzzled. They were all fine just now. Shao Shang even blushed when she saw him. Why did she get so angry and refuse to look back at him after saying something to He Zhaojun with her head down?
Wen Ziduan sighed, "It's all your fault. You must have had a dark face all day and scared them. Unlike me, I'm good-looking."
"Put away your worthless look." Ling Buyi said seriously, "Zhaojun taught me this, Shaoshang also said so, and she has a point."
Wen Ziduan was apprehensive: "When did Zhaojun tell you that? I didn't even know."
Ling Buyi thought for a moment and said, "When I was talking about Journey to the West before, I mentioned this when Tang Sanzang passed through the Kingdom of Black Chicken."
What? The Black Chicken Kingdom? I haven't even heard of it! Wen Ziduan was tormented. After this incident, Zhaojun might not want to talk to him for a long time.

Palace banquet.
"My dear ministers, this time we were able to solve a major case, restore peace to the people on the border, and expose corrupt officials in the court. This is a great achievement! I will certainly reward you accordingly!"
Emperor Wen was obviously very happy and even drank two more glasses of wine.
In addition to the He family, several military generals who had made outstanding contributions and their families also attended the palace banquet. Several princes and princesses, Ling Buyi and others also accompanied them.
The fifth prince had already drunk quite a bit. He looked at He Zhaojun, whose skin was as white as ice and jade, and felt that she looked like a fairy.
"I heard that the two young generals of the He family have made great contributions this time. Here, I would like to congratulate your brother." He raised the wine glass and saluted He Zhaojun from afar.
"If you are depressed because you broke off the engagement with the Lou family and lost your husband, it doesn't matter. I am willing to marry you!" He talked nonsense.
He Zhaojun had no intention of drinking, but she just smiled faintly, picked up the wine and touched her lips. She was polite but not enthusiastic either, and seemed to be worried about something.
The Fifth Prince frowned. "You little girl, your Highness is offering a toast, why don't you drink? Are you looking down on your Highness?!"
He Zhaojun said nothing, but picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, and showed it to the Fifth Prince: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? Zhaojun just sees that Your Highness can't hold his liquor well, and doesn't want you to drink too much and hurt your health."
The Fifth Prince took a sip of his wine and slapped the table. "Great, that's great! As expected of a military commander's daughter! Come, fill my Highness's glass again!"
The maidservant beside him was about to pick up the wine jug, but he pushed her away and pointed at He Zhaojun: "You! You pour the wine!"
The Queen couldn't stand watching him lose his composure after drinking so much, and quickly called out to stop him, "Fifth Prince, please be careful with your words. Zhaojun is a guest at today's banquet. How can you ask a guest to pour you wine?"
But he acted as if he hadn't heard: "Why? Didn't she sit down to listen to the hearing with Concubine Yue? Then why not pour a glass of wine for your Highnesses? And perform a dance to liven up the atmosphere!"
Concubine Yue sneered: "Okay, Zhaojun, then you can act one."
Hearing this, He Zhaojun stood up, walked over to the dancers performing the sword dance[48], and suddenly drew out her swords. These swords were all unopened, but they also gleamed with a cold light, looking very scary.
She casually made a sword flower, pointed the sword tip, and a cold light flashed. The wine jug in front of the fifth prince was picked up by her on the sword tip and held steadily in the air.
The Fifth Prince was startled and almost sobered up: "Wow! What are you doing?"
He Zhaojun frowned: "Don't move, be careful my hands are shaking."
