However, at this moment, Lou Rongrong paused, the cup and the lips were separated as soon as they touched it, and then put down the wine cup again.
The Fourth Prince wished he could grow another pair of eyes, to see whether Cai Lou Rongrong drank that glass of wine just now.
However, the queen who was sitting at the top could see clearly that not a single drop of wine in the glass was reduced.
She cursed secretly in her heart, and gave the fifth prince a warning look from an angle that no one else could see. The fourth prince then lowered his head, knowing that the queen mother blamed herself for being impatient, but she couldn't help but blame her mother for being too aggressive. Late.
Lou Rongrong had a panoramic view of the expression of the mother and son, but her face remained unchanged, her smile was light, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
In fact, she couldn't confirm whether there was anything in the glass of wine just now. After all, although Chun Han beside her was proficient in medicine, as a foreign guest, she couldn't be rude enough to ask the maid to check every drink before using it.
That's why she just pretended to be tempting, trying to blow up the mother and son, but she caught the fox by the tail as expected.
No wonder Chen Jingci wanted to remind her before the banquet to pay attention to the mother and son, this empress, it seemed that she had no intention of letting her out of Nanliang's palace today.
She didn't want to drink, and only chatted with a few princes with a smile, but intentionally or unintentionally, she was not as enthusiastic about the fourth prince as before.
Seeing this, how could the fourth prince hold back?He quickly cast a look of help to his always dependent mother.
This son, if he can have five points of the heart of the little girl opposite, he won't have to compete with these idiots until now.
The queen was quite bitter in her heart, but after all her son was her own, she still had to take care of it, so she could only put on a smile again, and raised her glass to Lou Rongrong:
"I heard that the princess built an academy for women in Daqing, so that women can also study and learn etiquette. Now Daqing even allows women to participate in the imperial examination. I wonder if this is true?"
Lou Rongrong smiled slightly:
"The empress is flattering me. It is my Emperor of Daqing who graciously allows women to take the scientific examinations like men. I just set up a school for women only on a whim. It's just a joke."
The queen smiled as expected:
"You child, I can tell at a glance that you are a humble and lovable child. If it weren't for you, how could your emperor in Daqing agree to such a shocking move? Just because of your thoughts, I agree with you." As a woman, I should also give you a toast."
Then he raised his glass to Lou Rongrong and said:
"I do my best to respect you."
Then he tilted his head back and drank it all, at the end he turned the glass over with a smile, and turned the bottom of the empty wine glass to Lou Rongrong, seemingly to show respect, but in fact it was to force Lou Rongrong to drink up the wine in the glass .
After all, after a country, Lou Rongrong, as an envoy, represents a country. If he doesn't drink this wine, he will inevitably have the meaning of contempt for Nanliang and disrespect the queen.
Facing the treacherous smile in the Queen's eyes, Lou Rongrong smiled and raised his glass slowly, covered his lips with his long sleeves, and was about to drink the glass with his head raised.
The heartbeat of the fourth prince (Note: The author misremembered the rankings in the previous chapters, the mother and concubine of the fifth prince was from a humble background, and the biological mother of the fourth prince was the queen) couldn't help but beat faster, and his eyes were eagerly looking in the direction of Lou Rongrong, just as he Just when I thought this matter was about to be completed, I suddenly heard a soft voice from outside the hall:
"Wait a minute!"
Lou Rongrong's movements paused, there was a pill on the rim of the cup, and the slender hand that was about to throw it into the wine cup turned over, and then concealed the pill again, then naturally put down the wine cup, and looked at the entrance of the hall curiously and doubtfully .
I saw a woman in a red dress, with a graceful figure and an aggressively beautiful red palace costume, strode aggressively into the hall. As soon as she entered the hall, those beautiful red phoenix eyes swept across the entire hall, and saw Lou Rongrong's face. In an instant, his eyes unceremoniously looked her up and down.
Lou Rongrong smiled good-naturedly, letting the imperial concubine, who was guessed to be the birth mother of the second prince, look at him.
The imperial concubine stared at her for a moment, then smiled suddenly, walked to her side, grabbed the wine cup in her hand without any explanation, and said with a rather mean smile:
"My sister happened to hear what the queen sister said just now. She is also a woman, and she is quite touched. If so, my sister should also toast the princess."
After all, without giving the queen a chance to react, she raised her head and was about to drink the undercooked wine, but when she was about to pour the glass, she deliberately let go of her hand, and the wine cup fell to the ground. Even though it soaked through the Persian carpet laid in the hall, it gave off a dark outline.
The noble concubine covered her red lips exaggeratedly, looked at the wine stains on the ground, pretended to be surprised and said:
"Oh, I came here in such a hurry just now, I was a little tired. I didn't expect to be so careless and dropped the cup. My sister won't blame my sister, right?"
The queen's face twisted for a moment, she didn't expect that the noble concubine would come to the hall suddenly at this time, and the anger that the good thing was about to be ruined suddenly flooded her heart, making her clenched the handrail unconsciously, but she said with a worried face:
"What did my sister say, the cup fell, and my sister was lucky that she was not injured. But didn't my sister go to the palace today to serve the sick? Your Majesty has left you, if something goes wrong..."
Today, she was able to dismiss this concubine Rong precisely because when the concubine used the excuse of caring about the emperor's dragon body to trip her up, she led an army instead, so that the concubine who "cared" about the dragon body had to go to the imperial court. Sitting sick, but it seems that it didn't last long.
Sure enough, there was a smug sneer in the eyes of the imperial concubine, and she only said:
"Sister, don't worry. Thanks to Master Fang's Golden Elixir, His Majesty has recovered quite a lot. He just woke up after taking the medicine. He heard that the princess was visiting today, but he couldn't come to meet him in person. So he ordered his concubine to come to the hall to greet him. Princess."
Master Fang?That alchemist recommended to His Majesty by Concubine Rong's mother's family?
The queen's heart sank, and she didn't understand why, in order to arrive in time, Concubine Rong made a plan to ruin her, and asked the pretending alchemist to give the emperor a poison pill that could temporarily boost people's spirits.
But on the surface, she couldn't say anything, and could only swallow this dumb loss, because the Rong family was never the only one who controlled the emperor with such behavior. The emperor was surrounded by not only Master Fang, but also Master Li recommended by her mother's family. Master Feng recommended by the most favored Han family...
She could only hold back her smile and said softly:
"So that's the case, but the princess is here to take care of me. Since my sister has seen the princess, why don't you go back to your majesty quickly. If your majesty doesn't have a close person to take care of you, I can't help but worry. The younger sister has always been the one who cares most about His Majesty, and only with my younger sister by His Majesty's side can I rest assured."
The Fourth Prince wished he could grow another pair of eyes, to see whether Cai Lou Rongrong drank that glass of wine just now.
However, the queen who was sitting at the top could see clearly that not a single drop of wine in the glass was reduced.
