”Speak your mind!” I forgive you for your innocence! ” Old Emperor's face did not reveal any expression of joy or anger.
Xiao Hanqi immediately said: ”This son wants to, why not we just compete?”
”Oh?” The Old Emperor's interest was piqued, his brows slightly raised, ”Tell me the specifics.”
Xiao Hanqi explained his suggestion, which was to write down all the talents and place them into a jar, and for everyone to choose randomly, if they could not perform, they would be punished to drink three cups!
His suggestion attracted many people who agreed with it. Xiao Qingqian studied him and stared at him, and still drank his cup of wine.
”Third Brother, I heard that Third Sister-in-Law is also considered a virtuous and virtuous person. I wonder if you would allow Third Sister-in-Law to participate?”
Wei Qing looked as if she wanted to refuse, but Xiao Qingqian said: ”What is wrong with that? However, royal brother truly cares about the wangfei! ”
However, Xu Jiu then returned to his normal self, ”Third brother's words are extremely true. No matter what, we are brothers, a family!”
The empress looked at Xiao Qingqian from afar, retracting her hand under her sleeve, and digging her long armor into her palm.
Very quickly, the eunuch followed Xiao Hanqi's orders and prepared everything.
Wei Qing originally wanted to reject, but Xiao Hanqi had already said that, so she could only bite the bullet and go draw.
He rummaged through the pot and stretched out his hand.
Seeing the two words above, Wei Qing's jaw almost dropped out of shock.
Xiao Qingqian frowned as he looked over, ”Dance?”
Wei Qing speechlessly curled her lips. How could she dance?
Not only that, her movements were so beautiful just now, yet she was able to bore the crowd, so how great was her performance?
Just as she was at a loss, Xiao Hanqi's ”concerned” voice rang out: ”Third Sister-in-Law managed to get involved with the dance?”
Wei Qing was just about to say that she would be fine with three cups of wine, but who knew that Xiao Hanqi would actually be waiting for her here!
”Third Sister-in-Law, this wine is not an ordinary wine!”
Wei Qing frowned, only to see three different wine jugs being brought over by the eunuchs.
Everyone's curiosity was piqued. They all stretched out their necks to look over and occasionally whispered a few words to each other.
Xiao Hanqi picked up three wine jugs and poured them into three cups, ”This is a mixture of vinegar, wine and chili water, are you sure you want to drink it?”
Wei Qing glared at him, feeling that Xiao Hanqi was purposely digging a pit for her to fall into.
She narrowed her eyes and chuckled, ”If I drink this, it will probably take a few days before I can stop.”
The corner of Xiao Hanqi's mouth raised slightly. He purposely wanted Wei Qing to make a fool of himself!
As for Xiao Qingqian, from the moment he entered the imperial palace, he had been frantically swatting dog food. He just wanted to see if Xiao Qingqian was really able to help Wei Qing to accept the punishment there.
”That's right. If Third Sister-in-Law were to drink three cups of this wine, who knows how she would feel. Third Brother and Third Sister-in-Law have always been very close. I think that if Third Brother were to accept the punishment in place of Third Sister-in-Law, no one would object, right? ”
His every word seemed to be filled with concern, but in reality, everyone knew what sort of bad intentions he had.
Wei Qing glanced at Xiao Qingqian from the corner of his eyes, but when he saw that Xiao Qingqian was not flustered, he could not help but want to laugh.
Xiao Qingqian would never do such a thing!
It could only mean that Xiao Hanqi thought too highly of Xiao Qingqian!
At this time, one of them said in a low voice: ”This official is willing to accept the punishment in place of Princess Chu!”
Everyone turned to look, only to see Prime Minister Wei's solemn face, but his gaze on Wei Qing was extremely gentle.
The sounds of discussion rose again, and Wei Qing felt a warm feeling in her heart. She quickly spread towards her limbs and bones, ”Isn't it just dancing?”
