Chapter 120 If one plan fails, try another one!
Eunuch Li replied respectfully, "Your Highness, all the ministers will participate this time."
Chu Li frowned. She thought it was a family dinner, but she didn't expect it to be so large. Her scumbag father wanted to hold a celebration party for her for no reason. Did she have such a great contribution?
It's not easy to wear this compliment. I'm afraid someone deliberately instigated my scumbag father to do it.
"Was it father's idea to hold a celebration banquet?" Chu Li asked deliberately.
Eunuch Li's smile deepened. "That was also His Majesty's idea. However, after the morning court session today, the Queen praised Your Highness highly. His Majesty decided to hold a celebration banquet tonight."
Chu Li nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Eunuch Li said, intentionally or unintentionally, "*** has a deep affection for His Highness."
Chu Li smiled, "Yes, my elder sister has always treated me very well."
After Eunuch Li left, Chu Li stopped smiling.
At the morning court today, she used Chu Yue's identity as a female general to promote the idea of allowing women to participate in the imperial examinations.
Chu Yue immediately asked her father to hold a celebration banquet for her.
Is Chu Yue really so kind, or does she want people to think that the prince is ambitious, or does she have other purposes? We have to be on guard!
......
Chu Yue was in a very good mood after returning to the princess's mansion.
She looked at Mo Yun, "Is the medicine ready?"
Mo Yun nodded, "Yes, if there is even a little bit of it on your skin, you will be controlled by lust, and you won't remember what happened afterwards."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "Very good."
She will sleep with Ye Hanting tonight, and after she becomes pregnant, she will go to Tianwu Mountain to learn all the lifelong skills of the four venerables.
By then, she would have no rivals, not to mention the Great Chu State, even in the entire world!
Dinner.
Chu Li sat in the magnificent hall, watching the palace maids serving dishes back and forth.
Ye Hanting walked with an aura of his own, his clothes fluttering as he came over. Under the gaze of everyone, he sat directly next to Chu Li.
Chu Yue sat not far from Chu Li and Ye Hanting, looking embarrassed. Why did this man seem to have no interest in women at all and was with Chu Li every day?
She shook the white jade porcelain cup with an unhappy look in her eyes. All men in the world are lustful. She didn't believe that Ye Hanting could remain aloof after tasting the sweetness of a woman!
After the banquet started, Emperor Qingyuan said, "My dear ministers, I have been on a private visit in recent days to understand the people's sentiments. You have cooperated with the Crown Prince to handle all matters of the court in an orderly manner. I am very satisfied, especially that the Crown Prince has been so well-behaved in his first regentship. I am very pleased."
"Today, drink as much as you can, and don't go home until you are drunk!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers raised their glasses.
Although Emperor Qingyuan said this, few people dared to get drunk in his presence.
Chu Li picked up the boiled water and drank it all. Her father would definitely want her to drink some wine today. Fortunately, she had bribed the palace maid to prepare boiled water early on.
After Chu Li caught a glimpse of Chu Yue's maid and Chu Yue looking at each other, he walked stealthily to Chu Xing's side.
Chu Xing can't drink alcohol, as she will get drunk if she does, so she drinks tea.
Chu Li sat in the row in front of her. After the maid left, Chu Li leaned over and asked Chu Xing, "What kind of tea is this? It smells so good."
Chu Xing poured a cup of tea for Chu Li, raised the cup with both hands, and handed it to Chu Li, "Brother Crown Prince, this is Wuhong tea, which was given to me by my eldest sister. It tastes very good, but it is more suitable for women."
Chu Li took the teacup, sniffed it and his eyes darkened.
Normal five-black tea is made from five ingredients: red dates, red beans, red wolfberries, red-skinned peanuts and brown sugar.
But why is there safflower in Chu Xing’s Wuhong Tea!
Safflower can be soaked in water and drunk, especially by women, as it can promote blood circulation, relieve menstruation, dissipate blood stasis and relieve pain. It is helpful for women with amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and postpartum lochia.
If women drink a small amount of safflower tea every day, it can have a beautifying effect and remove toxins and spots accumulated in the body.
However, in addition to the five red ingredients, Chu Xing's cup of tea also added a large amount of safflower.
It is fine for ordinary women to drink safflower, but if a pregnant woman drinks it, it may cause threatened miscarriage.
Chu Li's eyes darkened. Why did Chu Yue give this to Chu Xing?
Chu Li suddenly thought of a possibility. Could it be that Chu Yue thought Chu Xing was pregnant?
Could it be that Bingxia was accidentally discovered when she was burning the medicinal residue?
In the palace, Chu Xing was the only adult princess, so Chu Yue thought that Chu Xing was pregnant.
Chu Li held Chu Xing's hand, looked at the bracelet on her wrist and said, "Seventh sister's bracelet is very beautiful."
He took the opportunity to look at the bracelet and quickly took Chu Xing's pulse.
Chu Xing's pulse was strong, she was in good health, and she was not pregnant.
"If you like it, I can give it to you."
Although Chu Xing was reluctant, she was still willing to give it to Chu Li because it was a rare occasion that the prince praised the things she was wearing.
Chu Li let go of Chu Xing's hand and smiled, "No need, I just think the bracelet is very suitable for Seventh Sister, it looks good on you."
"Thank you, brother." Chu Xing happily swung his feet under the table, but then felt that it was not appropriate, so he sat down properly again.
Emperor Qingyuan raised his glass slightly and said with a smile: "*** has made plum wine, everyone try it and see how it tastes."
Lao Liu took a bite and grinned at Chu Yue who was not far away from him.
"To be honest, sister, you should just fight hard. This plum wine is really... terrible!"
Ye Hanting had just picked up the plum wine and put it down again. He was picky to begin with, and now he didn't even want to smell it.
Chu Yue glanced at Ye Hanting. He refused to drink the bowl of plum wine that she had specially made for him just because of Lao Liu's words!
Moreover, there were so many people sitting around her, and it was really too much for Lao Liu to embarrass her in public!
"Sixth brother, put your bowl down!" Chu Yue was furious. Sixth brother used to be even more timid than Chu Li, so why is he so bold today?
The sixth elder brother chuckled, "To be honest, elder sister, you lack a bit of femininity. Don't be so fierce. Your face says I am going to beat someone up. Be more elegant, more graceful."
"Sixth brother, how dare you insult your eldest sister like this." The second prince looked at the sixth prince while drinking plum wine.
Lao Liu ate a piece of Ruyi Cake and smiled brightly, "Second brother, I like to tell the truth. If I can tell someone in person, I will never tell accusations behind their backs."
"Aren't you afraid that your elder sister will really punish you? Okay, stop talking. Today is a full-course banquet prepared by the imperial chef. If you don't eat well, your trip will be in vain!" The second prince reminded in a low voice.
Lao Liu said indifferently: "It's not in vain, it's not in vain, it's just something that comes to mind."
The second prince: “…” He was impressed by the sixth prince.
Chu Yue looked at the Sixth Prince coldly. Is this kid Chu Sheng trying to trick her?
She had just gone to her father to tell him that Chu Li and Ye Hanting were getting too close. Could it be that this kid heard it?
Lao Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the wine in his hand. This woman Chu Yue actually dared to instigate the relationship between his brother Li and the tutor behind his back.
Haha, this woman successfully caught his attention!
Anyone who is detrimental to Brother Li is his enemy.
It's good to be able to make Chu Yue angry.
Chu Yue raised her glass and drank it all. She thought secretly in her heart: I failed to drug Ye Hanting just now. If one plan fails, I will try another one!
