Chapter 187 Tea Spirit vs. Cling Spirit
She pronounced the last four words "Princess" particularly clearly, with a burning gaze.
Li Chengxiu, who was standing aside, came forward and diligently wiped his wife's sweat with a handkerchief. Of course, it didn't matter whether she was sweaty or not. What was important was to let everyone know that such a beautiful and powerful wife was his!
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, they had already made peace on the surface. They were all scheming people, so who would deliberately peel off unnecessary cover-ups?
Since the boy's plan hadn't panned out, he could only accept defeat. Both sides politely returned to the bamboo house. It was already dark. They added more wine, turned on the lights, and resumed the feast. This time, both the host and the guests were thoroughly entertained.
"Princess, let Yueyaer toast you again."
Miao Yue warmly huddled with Jiang Wan, toasting him again. Jiang Wan, respectful, once again took up his glass and gulped it down. Luckily, the alcoholic beverages these days weren't too strong, so they weren't particularly intoxicating. This rice wine, especially the one brewed by Tong Ren, was quite good.
The wine glass was put down and filled again, and Jiang Wan raised his finger to press down the hand that was diligently holding the pot.
"Thank you Miss Miao for your hospitality. I can't drink much, so I can only take a sip and not a big drink. Please forgive me."
"Then I won't drink."
Miao Yue considerately put down the wine jug and looked at the princess in front of her with a rosy face. Her voice couldn't help but become much gentler.
"Are you full? If so, I'll take you out to see the bonfire dance, okay? Let them keep drinking here, and we'll go out and dance."
Li Chengxiu, who was sitting on the other side, put down his chopsticks.
"Miao Laowu, go back to your seat. I'll take my wife out to play. Why should I ask you to be so attentive?"
I thought this woman was okay when I was chopping people with her before, but today I really see that she is not good at anything!
"You tried to take advantage of me but failed, and now you're trying to take advantage of my wife? I'm telling you it's impossible. If you provoke me, I'll bring my friends to play with me. I wonder if you dare to do anything stupid again."
"you…!"
Miao Yue glared at Li Chengxiu angrily, but she felt guilty and couldn't argue, so she could only snort coldly.
"The princess just said that all the past disputes between us are written off. Why don't you want to listen to your wife now?"
The girl turned around and started slandering the beauty.
"Look, Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi doesn't seem to agree with what you said before. Alas, some men are just like that, looking down on women from the bottom of their hearts. Unlike me, I am very willing to listen to you. After all, what you said makes sense. We girls are the ones who care and show consideration for each other the most, Princess, don't you think?"
What a steaming cup of high-quality green tea! The aroma of tea filled Jiang Wan's mouth, making her twitch involuntarily.
"Well, that makes some sense. Husband, didn't you just say that you still had some things to discuss with the Miao leader? Then I will go out with Miss Miao to take a look and not disturb you anymore."
While giving her husband a subtle wink, indicating that he should quickly negotiate with the Miao chief to exchange oil and salt for other things, she stood up with the support of Miao Yue's arm.
"Wife, how about I go with you later?"
"No need. It just so happens that you, Lord Liu, and General Qiao are here. Let's discuss what needs to be discussed."
She lowered her head and smiled, patted her husband's outstretched paw, and whispered a few words of comfort.
"Don't worry, I'm just going out to get some fresh air and get rid of the alcohol. I'll be back in a while. Just focus on your work."
"Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness, don't worry about it. Just discuss things with my father. I will be with the princess!"
It's because of you that I worry more, okay?
"young married woman…"
"You go ahead and do your thing. I'm going out to play!"
As soon as the words fell, two graceful figures quickly left the door. The wife walked so gracefully that Li Chengxiu didn't even catch a corner of her clothes.
The clingy little creature, abandoned for no reason, turned and bared its teeth at the children who smiled warmly at it. Very well, the snowflake salt, which was supposed to be exchanged at the normal price, has now been raised.
Come on, Lao Miao!
Leader Miao shuddered subconsciously, feeling that the expression of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi was, well, a bit resentful.
What the people in the house are thinking has nothing to do with the people enjoying themselves outside.
Jiang Wan followed the local customs and went down to Yangzhou with Miao Yue. Together with the singing and dancing boys and girls, they sang and danced around the huge bonfire.
Although she didn't understand the songs they were singing, she found the lively and cheerful atmosphere very enjoyable. Jiang Wan felt that this was a bit like going to karaoke with friends in the past.
The dim sky was filled with the clamor of people, and under the moonlight, the music from the bonfire stirred the atmosphere. Everything was within easy reach, bringing joy and laughter. Ever since she assumed the identity of Princess Qi, she hadn't been so unrestrained for a long time.
"Jiang Wan, do you like our place?"
After playing around for a while, the two people who had just passionately fought and danced together found a quiet place to sit down.
"Look, they're still dancing."
Pointing at the crowd still dancing in the distance, Miao Yue looked back at Jiang Wan with a gleam in her eyes.
"I saw that you seemed very happy just now. You like our place too, right?"
"Yeah, I really like it."
Jiang Wan leaned against the wood behind her. Perhaps because she had just drunk and acted crazy, she felt very relaxed and comfortable now.
"This bonfire dance party really creates a lively atmosphere, making it easy for people to join in the laughter. You live more freely than us, and there's no need to be so particular about unnecessary things."
Miao Yue started laughing.
"If you like it here, come and play here often. I like you too, and you're welcome to come and play."
She didn't dare to be greedy and ask Jiang Wan to stay, after all, Li Chengxiu was not someone to be trifled with.
"Okay, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely come to attend your celebration again. It's really fun."
"As long as you like it."
Hearing the other party agree without hesitation, Miao Yue smiled with relief and moved over, sitting next to her and looking up at the night sky with her.
"Jiang Wan, look at that crescent moon in the sky. Isn't it beautiful? My father told me that when I was born, there was a crescent moon like this in the sky. My mother thought I was as beautiful as it, so she named me Yueyaer."
"Yeah, it looks good. I mean you."
Jiang Wan didn't turn to look at her, still staring at the starry sky.
"Your mother must love you very much, and my mother loves me too. I was born at night, so my mother named me Jiang Wan. It sounds nice, right?"
"It sounds good. You are beautiful. More beautiful than the sunset in the sky."
Miao Yue turned to look at her, frowning slightly.
"Wanwan, do you miss your mother?"
"Um."
