However, Concubine Rong spent so much energy to come here, how could she do what she wanted so easily?

So Dang even turned a deaf ear to the Queen's words, turned to Lou Rongrong with a smile and said:

"I accidentally dropped that glass of wine just now, I should give you another glass, Mo'er—"

Before Lou Rongrong could respond, Concubine Rong Dang even stretched out her hand, the second prince quickly got up and poured a glass of wine for his concubine mother, after Concubine Rong took it, Dang even raised her head and drank it down, and also poured out the empty glass. The bottom of the wine cup is showing a glimpse of Lou Rongrong.

Another court lady came forward and brought new cups and fine wine to Lou Rongrong.

Lou Rongrong looked down at the amber wine, smiled slightly, but instead of raising his glass, stood up and saluted:

"The imperial concubine made an atonement. She had drunk a lot of wine just now, and Rongrong was already quite drunk. If she drank again, she might lose her composure and damage Daqing's face. Please forgive Rongrong for using tea instead of wine to make amends for future generations."

The cup toasted by the imperial concubine may not be drugged, but Lou Rongrong cannot drink it.

After all, she did not drink the wine toasted by the empress before, if she had only drank the wine from the noble concubine, the rumors would probably become rumors that she preferred the second prince even more.

Offending a queen may cause dissatisfaction in Nanliang, but if both of them don't drink, the conflict will be between the queen and the concubine.

Sure enough, after hearing Lou Rongrong's refusal, the concubine's expression froze just now, but the queen's complexion became much better, and she immediately smiled and said:

"Since the princess is unwell and not suitable for drinking, then we as elders can't force it."

She has said so, if the imperial concubine has any opinions, it will be somewhat unreasonable.

Sure enough, although the imperial concubine looked ugly, she didn't say anything, she just refused to admit defeat and said:

"The wine at the banquet today is indeed not satisfactory. There are some delicious but not intoxicating Qiong Niang in my palace. If the princess likes it, I will ask Mo Er to send some to the princess' residence in two days."

Since it was Sima Zhao's heart, the queen simply stopped beating around the bush and said with a smile:

"I think that the princess is elegant and suitable for drinking green tea. It just so happened that I got some new-made Lushan clouds a few days ago, which is the most elegant. After the banquet, I asked Chen'er to take the princess back to the post station, so I happened to give it to the princess on the way."

The two most respected women in the harem looked at each other, the queen smiled, and the noble concubine described it as unruly, and they were sharp-edged and unyielding.

The fifth prince, who has no support from his mother's family, looks a bit ugly at this time, but with two elder brothers in front, he dare not touch this hard nail on the spot for the time being, so he can only secretly plan in his heart, what gift he wants to give the princess of Daqing , to be able to compare with the two elder brothers.

As for the eldest prince... He looked left at the imperial concubine, then at the queen, scratched his head in confusion, and then asked:

"Why did you send it to the post station? Isn't the princess here? The banquet is not over yet. If the empress mother and the imperial concubine want to give it to the princess, they can ask the palace staff to bring it to the princess right now, so why don't they just take it back?"

These words were quite dull and thoughtless, but they were speaking the truth. For a moment, the two women didn't know what to say.

Obviously everyone knew that the two wanted their son to have more contact with Lou Rongrong, and it was definitely not as simple as giving some fine wine and famous tea.

Being able to keep two women from coming to the stage at the same time is also considered the unique talent of this eldest prince.

Fortunately, the Fifth Prince was busy at this time to smooth things over:

"Brother is right, the gift-giving must come to the door in person to be considered sincere."

The First Prince suddenly realized something:

"So that's the case. Since the queen mother has this intention, when the child goes back, he will definitely prepare a generous gift and send it to the princess' mansion in person."

Some people were stunned, and the fifth prince was very happy, and he also expressed his opinion:

"Eldest brother is right. As the host, one should always show the friendship between the host and the guest. Fifth brother, I will definitely not lose my manners."

Just like that, what was originally just a fight between the empress and the noble concubine turned into everyone scrambling to give gifts to Lou Rongrong.

In the end, Lou Rongrong not only received gifts from several princes who wanted to fight for the throne, but also the disabled Seventh Prince, the weak Ninth Prince, and even the young Fourteenth Prince all sent gifts.

Du Juan finished reading the gift list to Lou Rongrong, and asked:

"Master, should we accept these gifts or not? Which prince? Or should we not accept them?"

Lou Rongrong was flipping through the information sent by Chen Jingci and Feng Zijun respectively. Hearing this, he raised his head and said with a smile:

"No? Why don't you accept it? Since he is full of enthusiasm and wants to give us a gift, if we don't accept it, wouldn't it be a disappointment to his kindness?"

Rhododendron was taken aback:

"Master means..."

Lou Rongrong closed the document in his hand with a "snap", and smiled meaningfully:

"Of course I will accept them all. Not only will I accept them, but I will also thank the princes kindly. To show my heart, I will write a thank you letter and send it to the princes' houses."

Rhododendron scratched his head:

"Then I wait for the master to write the letter before reporting back?"

Chun Han on the side went up and gave his sister a shudder, dumbfounded and said:

"Do you really think that the master wants to write letters to these wine bags and rice bags? Just because they deserve it?"

Du Juan's eyes widened, and he was stunned for two seconds:

"But the master didn't say..."

Chun Han sighed, hating iron for failing to make a steel path:

"These people have never seen the master's original work. You go find a scholar with a strict mouth and a bit of a sour talent, and write some sour words that are very touching and praise the other party. Just don't show your flaws and let people know it's the truth. That's what our master wrote to the prince."

There is such a way?

Du Juan looked up at Lou Rongrong, only to see Lou Rongrong smiling and saying:

"Chunhan, your idea is not bad. I never thought of such a good idea. As the saying goes, men know men best, and the princes will be quite moved."

Chun Han suddenly blushed:

"Master... don't you mean that?"

Lou Rongrong spread her hands and said innocently:

"I didn't plan to write it myself, I planned to ask you to help me write one or two. Who would have thought that my good spring and cold heart would be so bad-hearted, and I could come up with such a detrimental method. Now, the iron-eating beast (panda in Sichuan) ) I’m afraid there will be no bamboo shoots to eat.”

Chun Han was suddenly angry and annoyed, chasing Lou Rongrong to ask for justice, while Du Juan stood there stupidly, watching the two chasing and frolicking, scratching their heads, and laughed "hehe" inexplicably.

After playing around for a while, Lou Rongrong finally got serious:

"Okay, don't play around, let's get back to business, although Chen Jingci said that Han Jiangxue didn't seem to have anything to do with the Han family, but now that the Han family is the head of the Nanliang family, they handed over an olive branch to our allies Second, there are indeed many strange things in it, so I decided to go to Han's house to find out."
