Chapter 368 Look for the reasons in yourself
Qin Zhaoyue lay comfortably.
As long as she didn't have to get up early to attend court, she thought it was fine to live in the palace.
The imperial kitchen serves delicacies from land and sea in turn, and the palace servants serve them attentively. The most important thing is that it is all free of charge.
The three children outside treated the snack stand as their main battlefield. At this moment, it was full of food and they were carried away by the palace servants.
She was different. She had just casually eaten a few bites of snacks, and now the main course was served.
The palace maids and eunuchs filed in, and delicacies flowed like water, filling the large carved rosewood dining table.
Paired with the Yuquanchun tea stored in the palace cellar, wow... the taste is amazing.
Without the three naughty kids around to make noise, Qin Zhaoyue lay alone on the chaise longue covered with soft satin.
The sound of stringed instruments and orchestras rang out slowly, and the graceful dancers were dressed in light gauze.
She danced gracefully to the music, her sleeves fluttering and a faint fragrance floating in the air.
The hall was brightly lit with candlelight, illuminating the fine wine and delicacies, giving it the atmosphere of revelry every night.
The first three royal heirs worked hard all day and returned to Qinghui Palace with tired feet.
The lights were bright and the music was endless. Through the dancing shadows, I caught a glimpse of Lao Liu, who was drunk with a flushed cheek and a dazed look in his eyes.
The three of them paused and stood in the corridor outside the hall.
Qin Zhaowan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
The first test ended successfully, and all the hard work was rewarded in the best way.
In the past, with her elder sister and second brother looking after her, she rarely had the opportunity to make decisions on her own and take on the responsibility.
Although he maintained his usual calm and steady demeanor on the surface, deep down in his heart, he felt a huge sense of accomplishment and the joy of finally seeing the moon through the clouds, almost overflowing.
However, when he saw the lazy, wanton, and drunken look of enjoyment on the sixth sister's face, most of his pride and satisfaction disappeared in an instant.
She works so hard, stays up all night, and spends time on paperwork...what is she trying to achieve?
This thought popped up uncontrollably.
Although I felt a little tired just now, I was actually full of energy.
But at this moment, it was as if the backbone had been taken away, leaving only a soft and weak feeling.
Then, the released anger quietly transformed into an indescribable resentment, causing the hands in the sleeves to clench tighter and tighter.
Qin Zhaoshu narrowed his slender eyes slightly, and an elusive emotion flashed in his eyes.
Although she was not as hands-on as her third sister, she did handle affairs during this period and was really tired.
As for Qin Jingzhan, he just put his hands in his pockets and rolled his eyes at the people in the hall.
He wasn't too surprised. After all, he had fully experienced the laziness of his sixth sister on the disaster relief journey.
It is no surprise that people never stand when they can sit, and never sit when they can lie down. They also have appetites and pursue pleasure.
"Walk."
Qin Zhaowan, who had originally planned to take a bath first, spat out a word coldly.
The three of them walked into the hall with resentment that had almost solidified into reality.
The sound of stringed instruments suddenly stopped, and the dancers hurriedly stopped their movements, lowered their heads and stepped aside.
The decadent atmosphere of enjoyment in the hall was instantly frozen.
Qin Zhaoyue then slowly raised his eyes.
Unlike her previous pretense of being drunk, she was actually a bit drunk at this moment.
His eyes were hazy and watery, as if covered by a layer of mist.
Qin Zhaowan's voice was calm and without emotion.
"Sixth sister is really in a good mood."
Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand and laughed heartlessly:
"Hey! Isn't this because Third Sister has completed her mission perfectly?
I am very happy that so many pillars of talent have been selected for our great cause.
I specially set up this table to celebrate for my sister."
"Really?" Qin Zhaowan's eyes swept across the mess of leftovers on the table, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I've never seen anyone celebrating for someone else, but they celebrate like this before the host arrives."
"That's right!" Qin Zhaoyue patted his chest, swore confidently, and looked drunk.
At this moment, Qin Zhaoshu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
The voice was as gentle as a feather, and there was even a perfect smile on his face:
"Sixth sister must be getting a little anxious waiting, right?
After all, the third sister has been busy and has no time to spare, so she has neglected her younger sister.
It's understandable that my sister drank alone first."
Qin Zhaoyue:?
This sounds like a considerate statement, but why does it smell so strongly of tea?
He raised his head and stared at his fourth sister with a dazed look from drinking.
What's going on?
Why did the fourth sister, who never cared about anything and just played a background role, suddenly perform a tea art show today?
She curled her lips, her words slurring with drunkenness:
"Fourth sister...tsk, you hid it really well..."
She only recently began to realize that her perception of this fourth sister might be a little off.
The fourth sister’s strategy seems to be “non-competitive”, like an abacus bead, which cannot be moved unless it is moved.
But if you connect all her "conventional" behavior over the years, you can find clues.
Any task assigned to her is completed in a proper manner, without any embellishment or mistakes.
Being able to always keep the score precisely above the passing line, not one point more or less, requires extremely high control.
If one wants to play the role of "not competing" naturally, one should be like Qin Zhaoyue, who is lazy with a clear conscience and everyone knows it.
The fact that she still has to take the trouble to "control the score" only shows that there is still some flame in the heart of this fourth sister.
Qin Jingzhan couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily:
"What are you hiding for? You just want to enjoy your life in peace and comfort, without even thinking about us.
The three of us have been busy until now, and we haven’t even had a hot meal yet.”
Qin Zhaoyue tilted her head upon hearing this, her drunken eyes filled with pure confusion as she looked at her fifth brother.
"Third and fourth sisters are busy with serious work.
Fifth brother, what have you been busy with today?"
The doubt in his tone was so sincere that it was almost naive, as if he was asking "Why does the sun rise from the east?"
Qin Jingzhan:!!!
"You fucking..." A surge of anger shot up his forehead and swear words were about to come out of his mouth.
Bang bang bang!
Qin Zhaoyue suddenly raised his hand and slapped it three times in the air.
"Someone! Clear the plates!"
The palace maids waiting on the side immediately rushed over and quickly cleared the mess on the table.
Soon after, another group of palace servants came in with steaming new dishes, and in the blink of an eye, the table was filled with delicacies.
Qin Zhaoyue glanced at his fifth brother, who had suddenly lost his temper, and added slowly, "Am I the one who eats alone?"
Hmm... Qin Jingzhan was dumbfounded.
Looking at the dishes on the table, they couldn’t be made in a short time, which meant that Xiaoliu had instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare them before the meal.
I opened my mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
His words could make someone angry to death, but he actually left food for them.
The anger that had just risen up was completely released with a "puff".
Forget it, forget it... After all, he's the older brother. Why bother with a drunkard...
Qin Zhaoyue raised his chin proudly, like a victorious little peacock, with a bit of drunken arrogance.
"You guys, just get along with me. If things don't go well, look for the reasons within yourself!"
Three people: ...
