After reading the whole family's minds, the eldest daughter awakened

Chu Jinhong's sword dance is pretty good, but with Zhu Yu in front, his performance is really average.

Everyone knew that the emperor and empress loved him, and they all took it seriously, and some even praised him in a low voice from time to time.

Li Youwei was not interested in Chu Jinhong's fancy showmanship, but out of politeness, she still watched it seriously.

Chu Jinhong was not just dancing with the sword, he was also interacting with everyone present with his eyes from time to time, and winking at the ladies from time to time.

Some of the ladies who were ogled by him raised their sleeves to cover their faces, some bowed their heads coyly, and some put their handkerchiefs against their lips and coughed lightly.

Of course, there were also those who were unmoved. Qin Shuiyue even frowned slightly when she was winked at.

But when she came to Li Youwei, she just ignored him.

Chu Jinhong has always been favored. Even when he was deposed as the crown prince, he was only banned for a few months. Soon he was hugged again and again, and women even looked down upon him. This Li You Wei really refuses to eat and is punished with a drink.

In order to make Li Youwei fascinated by him, Chu Jinhong decided to cast all his flirtatious eyes on Li Youwei.

Li Youwei didn't like the sight of him and Empress Murong on her. Now that Chu Jinhong dared to keep showing his face in front of her, she wasn't used to it.

As soon as the wine glass was gently placed on the table, two drops of wine flew out of the glass.

The two drops of wine flew towards Chu Jinhong silently, hitting his wrists and knees.

With a clang, the sword in Chu Jinhong's hand fell to the ground, and he half-knelt on the ground.

This change happened so fast that no one could realize what was going on. Some people were so shocked that they dropped their chopsticks and spilled their wine. What's worse, the chicken drumstick they just held to their mouths fell off. Splattered with oil.

Queen Murong was the first to react, "Zhao Xuan, go and see what's going on with King Jin?"

"Yes."

No one saw how Zhao Xuan acted, he had already helped the person up.

Chu Jinhong pushed Zhao Xuan away and glared at everyone present, "Which one of you is causing trouble?"

Everyone present was confused when asked.

"Prince Jin, we don't know what's going on. We've been admiring your sword dance."

"Yes, is it too slippery in the hall?"

The ministers couldn't help but complain that the servants in charge of sweeping were doing the job of mopping the floor so brightly and cleanly. Now Prince Jin must have been thrown away.

"No, I am not stupid. Someone just hit me on the arms and knees with a hidden weapon."

"check."

Emperor Dongzhou slapped the table hard, and dared to attack the eldest prince openly under his nose. Will he take action against him next?

"Yes." The imperial guard took the order and searched everyone in the hall.

During this interval, Queen Murong hurriedly asked the imperial physician to examine Chu Jinhong's body.

The imperial doctors did not dare to slack off. The head of the Eitai Hospital, headed by the head of the hospital, took turns to check Chu Jinhong, and finally concluded that King Jin was fine and there was no hidden weapon.

The inspection results from the imperial guard also came out, and no one was carrying a concealed weapon. In other words, the eldest prince fell by himself.

Chu Jinhong was very dissatisfied with this result. It was clear that his wrists and knees hurt at the same time, otherwise he would not have dropped his sword and fallen.

Now it seems that he was too weak to hold the sword and fell down. If he didn't find a hidden weapon, where would his face be?

Queen Murong's eyes fell on Zhao Xuan, "What happened just now?"

Zhao Xuan has strong martial arts skills and has been responsible for protecting Chu Jinhong. If someone was really plotting against him, he should have been able to find out.

Zhao Xuan clasped his hands and said, "Back to the Queen, the prince may have had too much wine."

Zhao Xuan was loyal to the queen, and since he said so, the queen also felt that it was Chu Jinhong's own problem. "Hiro, go back and sit down first."

"Mother, it's really not me who fell down. I was tricked by others." How could Chu Jinhong be willing to lose such a huge face?

Queen Murong's eyes became serious, "Hong, be obedient, you have drunk too much."

Chu Jinhong wanted to say that he didn't drink too much, he drank too much every day, and he hadn't drunk half of it today. This amount of wine was nothing to him, but when he saw his mother's stern eyes, he had to close his eyes. Mouthed.

The queen smiled and raised her glass, "The search of everyone just now was for everyone's safety. Now it seems that there was a misunderstanding. I apologize, and now I will punish myself with a drink."

After saying this, Empress Murong drank the wine in one gulp.

The queen apologized personally, and everyone was flattered and drank their glasses full of wine.

Because Chu Jinhong was embarrassed, he found an excuse to leave in advance. Empress Murong originally wanted him to stay a little longer, but seeing the unlucky look on his face, she finally agreed.

Zhao Xuan left the Banquet Hall with Chu Jinhong. As soon as he crossed the Moon Gate and passed a rockery, Chu Jinhong grabbed Zhao Xuan's neck.

"Tell me, did you lie to my mother?"

Zhao Xuan followed Chu Jinhong's strength and retreated until his back hit the rockery.

The pain coming from the hard stone wall made Zhao Xuan frown slightly, "Your Majesty, this subordinate did not lie."

Chu Jinhong pinched Zhao Xuan's hand tightly, "Humph, do you really think that I am stupid? Among the people present at that time, except for you, Li Youwei was the most skilled one. Did she do something to me?"

A flash of helplessness flashed in Zhao Xuan's eyes. It was okay to be stupid, but he was afraid that the idiot would suddenly gain IQ.

"Back to your lord, General Li didn't do anything. You just drank too much."

"No, your eyes dodge when you lie. It was Li Youwei who caused me to fall, wasn't it?"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates didn't see it."

Chu Jinhong pushed Zhao Xuan away, took out a handkerchief, wiped his hands hard, and then threw it in Zhao Xuan's face.

"You'd better not lie to me, otherwise you know what will happen."

"Yes."

Zhao Xuan sighed silently in his heart and stood respectfully back behind Chu Jinhong.

The reception banquet lasted for another half an hour. Emperor Dongzhou announced that the banquet was over and Gongsun Qiao personally sent Li Youwei back to his home.

Empress Murong originally wanted to arrange for Chu Jinhong to send Li Youwei off, but he left early, so she had no choice but to give up.

After Gongsun Qiao sent Li Youwei and others back to the mansion, he went directly to the nearby Prince's Mansion.

In the study room of the Prince's Mansion, Gongsun Qiao told everything that happened at the reception banquet today.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Cousin Prince, my uncle seems to be interested in marrying other princesses, and I also found that the Queen seems to be planning to let Chu Jinhong marry Li Youwei."

"She dares?"

The aura around Chu Wangchen instantly became cold and chilling. Gongsun Qiao was frightened. This was the second time she saw Chu Wangchen like this.

The first time was when Yao concubine died, this time it should be for Li Youwei.

"Cousin Prince, please calm down. That is just the Queen's idea. General Li will not agree to it."

Gongsun Qiao hurriedly tried to persuade her. She was really afraid that Chu Wangchen would do something irrational like this.

"Her life is indeed too comfortable. You go back first."

Chu Wangchen's mood had returned to normal, but Gongsun Qiao knew that it had not.
