CHAPTER 436 2 : UNEXPECTED MOVE FROM PRINCESS CONSORT HAO (1/2)
CHAPTER 436 (2): UNEXPECTED MOVE FROM PRINCESS CONSORT HAO
“This Crown Prince is impressed by Princess Consort Hao for being so quick-witted and able to learn. Even more than that, I also revere Prince Hao. This Prince is genuinely impressed by not only your governance and military accomplishments, but even your skill in painting. It is little wonder that Beimin has begun to value literature.” Chu Linglong raised his winecup. “This Crown Prince offers a toast to Prince Hao and Princess Consort Hao.” He downed the contents of his cup.
When an important figure from another country offered a toast, the receiving party would also be required to return the gesture as a form of courtesy.
Pei Qianhao picked up his winecup, but before the palace maid behind him could pour anything, the wine pot was given to Su Xi-er
“Fill the cup for this Prince.” Pei Qianhao placed the cup in front of Su Xi-er, his frigid aura having dissipated quite significantly.
Knowing that he wanted to drink this time, Su Xi-er picked up the wine pot and poured some out for him.
“This Prince offers a toast to Crown Prince Chu.” Pei Qianhao immediately downed its contents.
Chu Linglong’s gaze landed on Su Xi-er. “Princess Consort Hao, aren’t you going to offer a toast to this Crown Prince?”
Before Su Xi-er could say anything, Pei QIanhao volunteered, “This Prince will return the toast in Princess Consort’s stead.” He raised his wine cup back in front of Su Xi-er so that she could help him fill it again.
However, Su Xi-er shook her head, and asked Chu Linglong. “Crown Prince Chu, do you like drinking wine the most?”
Despite not understanding her reason behind the question, he still truthfully answered. “I indeed love drinking wine the most. What, you want to compare alcohol tolerance with this Crown Prince?”
A gentle chuckle escaped between Su Xi-er’s lips. “Crown Prince Chu, you like to jest. How can a man and woman compete in something like that? Even if they say that you’re as beautiful as a woman, you’re still not allowed to compete with a woman on such things.”
Her seemingly casual words left a different taste in other people’s hearts. Princess Consort Hao is mocking the Crown Prince Chu for his feminine appearance!
