    In the evening, Huaxi followed Mu Xiangqing to Jufang Hall.

    The waiter led Mu Xiangqing and Hua Xi to sit down on the east side.  There are four single tables on the upper stage in the hall, and there are tables for two people on both sides below.  There were about twenty people from the Xiyue Mission participating in the incense competition this time, and there were more than seventy people from Dahua's side. There were more than forty tables in the hall.  Hua Xi took a quick look and found that the seat he was sitting was close to the palace door, so it was easy to leave.

    The lights in the hall were brightly lit, and people took their seats one after another.

    With a loud chant, the three princes and Susukino entered the hall.  The four of them sat down at the head of the table, and the King of Thailand raised his glass and said some lengthy congratulations, wishing the two countries peace and prosperity, and then announced the opening of the banquet.

    There are songs and dances to add to the fun while pushing cups and changing cups.  The sound of silk and bamboo, the cloud sleeves fluttering, the fragrance of wine fills the air, and I feel drunk.

    Hua Xi had eaten before coming, so after the banquet started, she only took a couple of token bites, and waited to sit for a while before leaving. She stared boredly at the singing and dancing in the middle, and listened to the gossips of the ladies next door.  Occasionally receiving some obscure glances, Huaxi pretended not to notice them, as if only the singing and dancing in the field could attract her.

    "Look, that woman from Xiyue got married and ran to the princes to flatter herself"

    "shameless¡­¡­"

    At the table in front, Huaxi forgot which family's noble ladies were discussing, and Huaxi followed their gaze and looked over.  Sure enough, Gu Lizhu, who was dressed in red, had already walked up to the guest of honor table with a wine glass in her hands and made a toast. She didn't know what she said, which made the princes above her laugh.

    Huaxi just looked away when she heard someone in front of her say loudly: "Xuanmu Huaxi comes to see you."

    Before Huaxi could react, he heard another shout. Mu Xiangqing tugged on Huaxi's sleeve, "Your Majesty, please be careful."

    Hua Xi looked up and saw Gu Lizhu's bright, flowery smile. Her mind sank, she nodded towards Mu Xiangqing, stood up and left the table.

    The moment he stood up, countless gazes came over him, and it was as if Hua Xi had not been seen before.

    "My daughter Mu Huaxi has met all the princes!" Huaxi saluted and bowed her head to stand in wait.

    King Tai glanced at Huaxi, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes to see clearly his appearance, and said: "Mrs. Gu just said that she and Miss Mu were the only women participating in the incense competition. After testing the incense in the morning, he said that the girl was lucky enough to enter the incense competition.  After watching Miss Mu's performance in the audience in the afternoon, she was so impressed that she regretted her rude words and offended the girl last night, so she wanted to ask me to be a host and toast to the girl to apologize."

    Huaxi was stunned for a moment, then heard Gu Lizhu say: "Yes! Gu Lizhu was reckless today. He became scornful when he saw the girl was young. He hoped that the girl would be honest."

    Gu Lizhu held the wine glass and handed it to Hua Xi.

    Huaxi lowered his head and looked at the light yellow luster of the bright liquid in the pastel wine cup, and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, Madam, don't worry about it. Huaxi is still young, and it is reasonable for Madam to think so." She had never put it into perspective.  She took Gu Lizhu's words to heart. She didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Lizhu was selling in the gourd when she suddenly said she wanted to apologize. She looked at the wine glass and hesitated whether to take it or not.

    "Does the girl look down on Gu Lizhu?"

    "No, no, Madam is overthinking, it's just"

    Before Hua Xi could reach out her hand, someone beside her interjected: "Miss Mu is too drunk, so I'd better drink this glass of wine for her. What do you think, madam?"

    Huaxi was stunned. When she looked up, Yin Chengzong stood beside her at some point.

    "This I apologize sincerely If Miss Mu doesn't drink, does she look down on me, Gu Lizhu?" Gu Lizhu's expression was a little strange, and her eyes looked between Huaxi and Yin Chengzong, as if they were dissatisfied.  I agree with Yin Chengzong's proposal.  She turned back to look at King Tai, wanting to ask him to come forward again, but she saw King Tai looking at Hua Xi in a daze, feeling unhappy in her heart.

    "Of course not" Hua Xi said but did not pick up the glass of wine. Gu Lizhu's weird look just now made her feel something was wrong.

    Yin Chengzong naturally noticed Gu Lizhu's little moves. Without waiting for Gu Lizhu to speak, he smiled again: "Haha, it seems that I, the king of the county, am not proud enough? If you don't believe what the king said, I am sure that I will take the place of Mu."  Girl, will you drink this glass of wine?¡±

    It was the first time that Susukino Shin saw Huaxi's face so closely, with the veil removed. The familiar features made him stunned. The wine glass he was holding almost fell out of his hand. Fortunately, he caught it in time, and his hand unconsciously  Hold on tight Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly calmed down. As the prince of Yin Chengzong, asking her, a concubine of the prince's son, to ask for a drink was considered a sign of respect for her. However, Gu Lizhu did so but refuted Yin Chengzong's request.  face.

    Susukino Shin looked calm and said to Guli Zhu: "Guli Zhu??, Miss Mu is no better drinker than you. Since Prince Cheng is willing to drink for you, you should give Prince Cheng some face and obey him.  "

    He Yi felt that Gu Lizhu had gone too far, coughed twice, and winked at Gu Lizhu.  Gu Lizhu bit her lip and reluctantly handed the wine glass to Yin Chengzong.  Yin Chengzong took it, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, the smile did not reach his eyes, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at Gu Lizhu, which made Gu Lizhu couldn't help but flinch.

    "Mrs. Xie Gu, thank you!" Yin Chengzong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He handed the glass back to Gu Lizhu and whispered, "This wine is really"

    Yin Chengzong's sudden stop made Gu Lizhu's face change slightly, and she hurriedly bowed and returned to Mohayi.

    Prince Ping pursed his lips and chuckled: "Zicheng is still so compassionate"

    Hearing this, Yin Chengzong glanced at Huaxi with a smile.

    Hua Xi lowered his head and said nothing. Yin Chengzong shrugged and said: "Tomorrow's competition will depend on Miss Mu. If she gets drunk and causes trouble, I, the garden owner, will not be able to explain it to the emperor, haha!"

    Ouyang Zheng, who was sitting in the first seat below, said: "Well, I have to trouble Miss Mu tomorrow, why not let her go back early to prepare the incense for tomorrow's incense fight."

    King Tai and others did not speak, but Susukino Shin agreed first: "It should, it should I am about to let Fang Liu and others go back to rest."

    Hearing what Susukino Shinichi said, King Tai also nodded and said: "Miss Mu, please step aside first!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    Hua Xi bowed and returned to his seat.  Mu Xiangqing kept looking at his superior and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was back.

    After sitting for another moment, Huaxi saw that the time was almost up, quietly said hello to Mu Xiangqing and returned to Jixiang Courtyard.

    After leaving the main hall, the bright moon hung high, and the clear light shone down. The ground was covered with silver light, and it was cold and quiet, which was incompatible with the noisy and luxurious main hall behind.

    At night in the mountains, the evening breeze is blowing and there is still a hint of coolness.

    Hua Xi hugged his shoulders with both hands, and a cloak was put on his shoulders from behind.

    Hua Xi gathered her cloak and took a deep breath, "It's still quiet outside"

    Cuiming asked: "Girl, should you go back in a sedan or on foot?"

    "Let's walk, it's not far."

    The two were about to get up when they suddenly saw Ouyang Zheng walking out of the side corridor, with two waiters behind him supporting Yin Chengzong, and Mrs. Yang following behind.

    Ouyang Zheng saw Huaxi standing on the corridor. Huaxi hurriedly prepared to salute, but was interrupted by Ouyang Zheng raising his hand.

    "Be careful." Ouyang Zheng called the waiter waiting on the corridor, "Here, prepare the sedan chair! Send Prince Cheng and Mrs. Yang back to Hengwuyuan." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
