Chapter 215 Drunk
The materials sent to Yu Qinghuan were all selected by Xiao Jinghe himself. When he saw her wearing them, his eyes were full of amazement and satisfaction with his own vision. This purple material suits her best.
But from a distance, seeing so many people staring at her, she felt a little regretful. Her possessiveness took over and she couldn't help but walk over and pull the person to her side, silently declaring her sovereignty, and even warned those who looked at her again with her eyes.
Seeing him protecting his food, Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Jinghe poured a glass of wine and tea, and asked in a good mood, "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Qinghuan: "Your Highness Xiao invited all the officials to hold this flower viewing banquet, but he didn't go to appreciate the flowers and just sat here."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinghe's eyes swept across the noisy and colorful flowers in the imperial garden, and finally fixed firmly on the face beside him, which was enough to make all the flowers pale in comparison. His deep and mellow voice was filled with undoubted intimacy, "How can the plants and trees in the garden compare to the beauty of spring."
As he spoke, he handed the cup to Yu Qinghuan, "The most beautiful flowers in the garden are right before my eyes. Why should I squeeze in with others to look at those vulgar things?"
His eyes were unconcealed, and his praise was almost explicit. Yu Qinghuan's heart trembled when she heard it, and two red clouds instantly appeared on her fair cheeks.
The corners of Xiao Jinghe's mouth curled up, and the indescribable possessiveness and satisfaction in his heart surged, making him unable to help but lean closer, even wanting to hug her and kiss her.
Seeing him approaching her, it was obvious that he had ulterior motives. Yu Qinghuan was afraid that he would come close to her in front of so many people, so she subconsciously turned her head to avoid his burning gaze.
But when she turned her gaze, she was unexpectedly caught in another complex gaze not far away - a familiar figure, wearing a white robe and a white jade mask, was standing there.
When their eyes met, the color on Yu Qinghuan's face instantly faded, and the blush turned into an embarrassed paleness.
How long had Mu Huaian been watching there...did he see everything?
The panic of having this affair discovered was far greater than when Xie Zhiwen caught him and Xie Zhili.
Yu Qinghuan sat stiffly, not even daring to look into Mu Huaian's eyes, for fear of seeing disappointment and resentment in those eyes.
Xiao Jinghe's attention was originally on Yu Qinghuan.
He keenly caught the subtle changes in the face of the person beside him, and thought that Yu Qinghuan was unwell. He frowned slightly and asked with genuine concern, "But what's wrong with you?"
While asking, he quietly reached out and held Yu Qinghuan's hand under the food table. Noticing that his palm was cold, he held it tighter.
Fear and panic flashed in Yu Qinghuan's eyes. She knew that Mu Huaian must be looking at her. She could even feel his gaze, and her body stiffened.
She pretended to be calm, but the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble slightly, "I'm fine."
Xiao Jinghe moved closer and rubbed his hands gently under the food table, trying to warm Yu Qinghuan's cold little hands.
Yu Qinghuan wanted to keep some distance from him, but she didn't dare to be too obvious for fear of arousing his suspicion, so she could only turn slightly sideways.
But her hands were always clenched tightly, and she could clearly feel Xiao Jinghe's burning body temperature and the unignorable gaze not far away.
His mind was in a mess and he unconsciously drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.
But what entered her mouth was a spicy and hot liquid that rushed into her throat. She choked and coughed a few times, tears welling up in her eyes.
Xiao Jinghe was stunned, and quickly let go of her hand and patted her back, "Don't drink so quickly."
"This... is wine?"
Xiao Jinghe was stunned. He picked up the other cup and took a sip before realizing that he had taken the wrong one.
But it was too late. Yu Qinghuan's cheeks flushed bright red because she choked on the wine. She felt dizzy and drunken, and her forehead was slightly swollen.
Mu Huaian, who had been keeping an eye on her, suddenly became anxious. If the occasion had not been inappropriate, he would have rushed up to her long ago.
This worry made his body move slightly.
Cheng Gongjin said calmly, "She has the Crown Prince by her side, what are you worried about?"
Although this was the truth, Mu Huaian felt bitter when he heard it. Before entering the palace, he had never thought about it, but just felt that Yu Qinghuan must have her own difficulties.
But now, he was eager to know from Yu Qinghuan what was going on.
He looked at Cheng Gongjin, who was standing beside him with a cold expression. "Teacher, I want to talk to her. Is there any way for you to pass on the message?"
Seeing that Mu Huaian was still stubborn, there was no way he would give up on this woman.
Cheng Gongjin looked at Yu Qinghuan. She was dressed better today than usual, which showed Xiao Jinghe's intentions.
But this outfit is not as good as the one she wore before at the Zheng family. Even the palace maid outfit she wore a few days ago was better than this.
He thought: The prince has poor taste.
"teacher?"
Seeing that Cheng Gongjin didn't speak, Mu Huaian called him.
Cheng Gongjin nodded in agreement, "Okay."
...
Drinking at a banquet is a very common thing, but Yu Qinghuan rarely drinks on weekdays. The cup that Xiao Jinghe handed over was a fine wine treasured in the palace, and it was especially strong.
After drinking this cup, I just felt the spicy burning in my throat at first, but now I feel dizzy and everything I see is blurry and shaky.
She looked at Xiao Jinghe beside her, feeling a little aggrieved and said, "Xiao Jinghe, I feel dizzy."
Seeing that Yu Qinghuan's cheeks and neck were all red, Xiao Jinghe didn't expect that his glass of wine would have such a strong aftereffect.
He immediately wanted to take everyone away, but today's banquet had a purpose. If he just left like that...
After thinking about it, Xiao Jinghe finally endured it and coaxed Yu Qinghuan, "Be good, I'll have someone take you back."
He waved his hand, signaling the guards beside him to come forward, and ordered in a deep voice, "Go find the maidservant next to Miss Yu, tell her that she is drunk, and ask her to come and take her back."
The guards did not dare to delay and left quickly.
Looking at Yu Qinghuan's dizzy look, Xiao Jinghe wanted to laugh, but was more worried.
There are many people in the palace, many of whom have ill intentions. If he doesn't find that little maid, he really won't feel comfortable letting others send Yu Qinghuan back.
Sang Ru was originally going to follow Yu Qinghuan to the flower viewing banquet, but because she had never been to such an occasion and was afraid of causing trouble, she stayed in the palace.
When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. When the guards came to deliver the message, she was sitting with her legs crossed, eating fruits, and looking very comfortable.
The guard stood at the door and saw Sang Ru lying there with her legs crossed and a piece of melon in her mouth, but he didn't walk over.
Sang Ru recognized this person as Xiao Jinghe's confidant at a glance. Feeling awkward, she handed over the melon she had taken a bite of, "Want to eat it?"
"..." The guard stared at the melon and did not take it. He convinced himself in his heart: The maid will be like her master, so it's not surprising.
Sang Ru stood up awkwardly and put the melon on the table, "Brother, what's the matter?"
The guard said in a deep voice: "Miss Yu is drunk, His Highness asked you to go and fetch her."
Hearing that his daughter was drunk, Sang Ru's eyes widened and his heart began to beat wildly.
She didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran away, fearing that the drunk girl would lose control of her mouth and say something earth-shattering!
