Just now, Zhu Zhaoyang, a talented woman from Android, wished her to be like Chang'e, and now, leaning on a branch, she has completely obscured the moon.
Seeing that no one reacted strangely, Shu Hua laughed even harder. These people hadn't even realized it; they were truly foolish.
Qin Xi glanced at her with a slight smile, and Shu Hua then gave her congratulatory speech. Afterward, she tilted her head back, but Qin Xi blocked her wine glass.
Qin Qi blinked, moved his lips, and then poured all the wine into his mouth.
She turned the glass upside down, and not a drop spilled.
Seeing Shu Hua blink, Qin Xi knew she understood her meaning. Looking around at the people, she noticed that although Princess Zhaoyang and An Zhuoyi were exchanging pleasantries with others, they were subtly watching her and Shu Hua out of the corner of their eyes.
Sure enough, seeing their reaction, the two exchanged a knowing glance.
Qin Xi withdrew his gaze, touched the gold hairpin in Shu Hua's hair, but accidentally knocked it off. The two of them bent down at the same time.
Seeing that everyone had drunk, the atmosphere warmed up a bit. Princess Zhaoyang then put down her already empty wine cup: "I'm sure you sisters have all received everyone's blessings. How about we play a game of 'Flying Flowers' now?"
"Flying Flower Order" is a word game played during drinking games, originating from the poetic pleasures of ancient times. When playing "Flying Flower Order," lines from poems, lyrics, and songs can be used, but the chosen lines generally do not exceed seven characters.
Anzhuoyi clapped his hands and smiled obsequiously, "This is great, I like this!"
Princess Zhaoyang gave her a satisfied look, and Anzhuoyi smiled even more ingratiatingly.
Since she had said so, how could anyone else dare to disobey?
Shu Hua leaned closer and whispered, "I wonder what kind of trouble she's up to this time. Yizhi, you'd better be careful."
Qin Qi smiled gently, feeling a warm glow in her heart at her friend's reminder.
She smiled radiantly, while Princess Zhaoyang clutched her handkerchief tightly.
She narrowed her bright eyes and let out a cold laugh. "Keep laughing, let's see how long you can keep it up!"
Since the game of "Flying Flowers" was to be played, someone asked, "What word should we choose?"
Before Princess Zhaoyang could speak, Anzhuoyi preempted her, saying, "Since we are in the Cizhu Forest, let's use the character 'bamboo' instead."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Princess Zhaoyang as if to claim credit, but was instead glared at by the latter.
Two words were clearly written in her eyes—
idiot!
Anzhuoyi covered her mouth as if she had been startled, only then realizing that she had stolen the limelight from Princess Zhaoyang.
Before she could make a decision, the others had already agreed to use the character "bamboo" as the game's theme. She glanced fearfully at Princess Zhaoyang, only to see her snort coldly and turn her head to the side.
It's so annoying to look at!
Qin Xi raised an eyebrow and silently watched the two of them. It seemed they had prepared quite a few "goodies" for her today.
Receiving Shu Hua's worried gaze, Qin Qi patted her hand reassuringly: "It's alright, Zi Hui, don't worry too much. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Shu Hua could only nod.
"Then please let the princess begin!" This time, Anzhuoyi learned his lesson and let Princess Zhaoyang make an appearance first.
Princess Zhaoyang glanced at her, took the token from the maid, stood up, and feigned humility, saying, "Then this princess will make a fool of herself. 'The village children of the south, taking advantage of my old age and weakness, dared to rob me to my face, openly carrying away my thatch into the bamboo grove. My lips were parched and my throat dry, and I could not call out. Returning home, I leaned on my cane and sighed.'"
She rattled off a long string of words, breaking the unwritten rule of the Flying Flower Game, but An Zhuoyi continued to praise her, which made Princess Zhaoyang give a smug hum before passing the token to the next noble lady.
"The green bamboo is half-covered in sheaths, and the new shoots are just emerging from the wall."
