After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 265 Your tea skills are not very good

Unlike the bustle and noise downstairs, the third floor is very quiet.

Qiao Jingjing and the eldest princess followed Xia Houxi to the third floor.

I originally thought that there should be multiple private rooms on the third floor. Unexpectedly, except for the room used by Xia Houxi to rest, there was only one private room on the third floor.

Standing outside the private room, looking at the closed door, Qiao Jingjing remembered what Manager Chen had just said.

Could it be that Qin Xuan is in this private room?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Xia Houxi pushing open the door of the private room.

Suddenly, a strong smell of alcohol came out, and at the same time, Qiao Jingjing also saw the young man sitting in the room.

Xia Houxi stepped in and saw several empty wine jars lying on the ground. He frowned and put his hand on the young man's shoulder, "Why do you drink so much wine?"

The young man sitting with his back to the door looked sideways.

When he saw Xia Houxi, a smile appeared on his handsome face, "You came just in time, come and have a drink with me."

Xia Houxi shook his head, "I won't drink. I have business to do later. By the way, there is no room downstairs, so I brought the eldest princess and Mrs. Lu up."

Qin Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the two people following him.

Qiao Jingjing and the eldest princess have already walked in.

Seeing the empty wine jars all over the floor, Qiao Jingjing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The way he drinks like this seems to be drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Thinking about it, her eyes fell on Qin Xuan.

I felt a little relieved when I saw that he was still sitting firmly after drinking so much. Only the ends of his eyes were red, but he was not drunk at all.

The eldest princess also noticed the empty wine jar on the ground, looked at Qin Xuan, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Prince Qin is really in a good mood."

Hearing the sarcasm in her words, Qin Xuan didn't care. He stood up and said, "Wei Chen has met the eldest princess."

The eldest princess snorted coldly and said no more.

Qin Xuan looked at Qiao Jingjing and said hello, "Mrs. Lu."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, looked at the untouched food on the table, and couldn't help but said: "Drinking on an empty stomach is harmful to your health. Remember to eat some food first and then drink."

Qin Xuan paused and nodded, "Yes."

Seeing how docile he was, Qiao Jingjing clenched her fingertips to suppress the inexplicable pain in her heart.

What happened to him?
Why drink to drown your sorrows?

She didn't ask because she was worried that Xia Houxi and the eldest princess were still there.

Qin Xuan looked at the group of people and said, "Since the eldest princess and Mrs. Lu want to have a meal, I will leave this place to you."

"What about you?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

"I've almost eaten and I'm going back." Qin Xuan said.

"The dishes on the table haven't been touched, how about..." Qiao Jingjing wanted to invite him to eat together, but thinking of the eldest princess, she stopped talking and looked at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess glanced at her and understood what she meant, feeling a little unhappy.

I really don’t understand why she cares so much about Qin Xuan?

Originally, she wanted to pretend not to hear, but Qiao Jingjing's gaze made her unable to ignore it, so she said calmly: "Since we haven't eaten, let's eat together."

Qin Xuan glanced at her in surprise, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Why, Prince Qin doesn't show his respect?" When the eldest princess saw this, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Qin Xuan paused and said, "The eldest princess doesn't mind, so the minister shamelessly stayed."

Xia Houxi was happy, "How can I be shameless when eating with my fiancée? What you said is too harsh."

The eldest princess glanced at him lightly and said, "You talk too much."

Xia Houxi touched his nose, and that was all he said. Why so many more?
But he also knew the temper of the eldest princess.

If he made her unhappy, his Drunken Immortal Building would probably be demolished by her.

He changed the subject and said: "There are still a few colleagues waiting for me downstairs, so I won't disturb them for their meal. If you need anything, just tell the waiter that I'm treating you today."

After saying that, he slipped away without giving others a chance to speak. The three of them stood in the large private room, looking at each other for a moment. Qiao Jingjing broke the silence, "Stop standing, sit down quickly."

The three of them found a place to sit down.

After a while, Manager Chen came up with his waiters, removed the cold dishes from the table, and served tea and snacks again.

"It will take a while for the food to be ready. Let's have some refreshments for our distinguished guests first." Steward Chen poured tea for several people attentively and thoughtfully.

Qiao Jingjing was worried about the identity of the eldest princess, so she said to Manager Chen who was standing by the table after pouring the tea: "It's a busy time in the building. There is no need for anyone to wait here. Manager Chen can go and do his own work."

Manager Chen nodded and backed out.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Qin Xuan, who was sitting a little further away, and said, "Prince Qin drank a lot just now. Drink some tea to relieve the hangover."

"Okay." Qin Xuan responded, picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip.

"I humbly serve the Prince of Qin with tea." At this time, Lu Jing, who existed like an invisible man, suddenly said and walked towards Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan glanced at him, put down the cup without saying anything.

Lu Jing didn't know whether it was intentional or he didn't hold it firmly. The moment the teapot tipped over, the spout tilted toward Qin Xuan's body, and hot tea spurted out.

Qiao Jingjing exclaimed, "Be careful..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Qin Xuan sliding back a few feet with the chair, avoiding the splash of tea, and still sitting firmly on the chair.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing felt relieved and praised: "What a handsome kung fu!"

Qin Xuan glanced at Lu Jing lightly, "Watcher Lu's tea-pouring skills are not very good."

Lu Jing's face turned gloomy, and he was about to say something when he heard the eldest princess's voice sounded cold, "Lu Jing, step back."

"Eldest princess, humble position..."

"Back off!" The eldest princess emphasized her tone.

Although Lu Jing was unwilling to give in, he still retreated, but before going out, he glanced at Qin Xuan coldly.

Qin Xuan didn't care.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Jing's going out, thoughtfully, then turned around and looked at the eldest princess. Seeing that there was no strange color on her face, she said to Qin Xuan: "Prince Qin, please sit back."

"Yeah." Qin Xuan responded and sat back at the table.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the table was a bit dull, Qiao Jingjing thought for a while and said with a smile, "Let me tell you two some jokes."

The eldest princess glanced at her and said, "Can you still tell jokes?"

"Of course." Qiao Jingjing vowed.

"Well, let's talk about it." The eldest princess looked at her leisurely.

Qiao Jingjing cleared her throat, "The wolf cub has been a vegetarian since he was a child. The wolf parents and the wolf mother racked their brains to train it to hunt. Finally one day, the wolf parents and the wolf mother watched with joy as their son chased a rabbit. The wolf cub caught the rabbit and showed its fierce look. And said harshly: Boy, hand over the carrot!"

After saying that, she was the first to laugh out loud.

After they finished laughing, they found that neither the eldest princess nor Qin Xuan had smiles on their faces, so they couldn't help but suppress a smile.

Why don't they laugh? Isn't what she said funny?

She frowned and kept trying.

"One day, the cow posed a problem to the donkey, asking which of the two bugs under the word "stupid" was male and which was female. The donkey racked his brains, but still couldn't answer. The cow cursed: What a stupid donkey, man. The girl on the left is on the right!”

"Ha ha--"

Qiao Jingjing laughed again, but the two people sitting there still didn't laugh.

She couldn't help but be inspired to fight, and continued to tell the joke, "The elephant accidentally stepped on the ant nest, and the ants came out in large numbers and climbed on the elephant one after another. The elephant shook its body and the ants fell down. At this time, there was another ant on the elephant's neck, and the fallen ant shouted: 'Choke it to death'!"

After saying that, Qiao Jingjing laughed for a while and found that the two of them still didn't laugh. She couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, "Your laughter is too high."

"Isn't it the joke you told? Isn't it funny?" The eldest princess frowned.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

"It's really not funny at all." Qin Xuan also agreed.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."
