Chapter 288

"The concubine has met the concubine." Mu Baozheng came generously, with a smile on his face, "I also ask the concubine to forgive the concubine. The concubine just happened to pass by today and smelled the fragrance of peaches here. The ban came closer."

"The concubine felt very weak these days, and just wanted to ask the concubine for two peaches, so I went back."

Concubine He suppressed the displeasure on her face, and said to Nanny Gui: "Give her some peaches and let her take them away."

Nanny Gui responded, quickly picked some peaches, and gave them to Mu Baozheng with a smile, "Your Majesty has a good eye. In the whole Bai'an, only the peaches from our concubine are the sweetest."

"The concubine thanked the concubine." Mu Baozheng held the peach under his nose and took a deep sniff, a strange sneer appeared in his eyes.

In addition to the sweet aroma of peaches, what she smelled was a rich aroma of wine.

Ever since she arrived, Mu Changge's out of the corner of his eye had never looked away from her, and Mu Baozheng took the peach in his hands and left just like that, as if he really came back only for the peach.

Exchanged a look with Qi Jinzhi in a low voice, Mu Changge's heart was clear. She came here this time to beg for Taozi, maybe it was just a cover, as for the real purpose...

Mu Changge lightly placed her fingertips on the peach in front of her eyes. The sweet aroma of the fruit was mixed with the rich aroma of wine, lingering around her side. She rolled her eyes slightly, and she was already thinking about it.

Going back along the way he came, Mu Baozheng turned a corner not far away and hid behind a huge rock, Su Yibin was also waiting here.

"It seems that you did a good job this time." Mu Baozheng said with a fake smile, and casually dropped another pill into his hand.

"It would be great if you could really understand my whole heart for you." Su Yibin smiled wryly, "It's about to blow up, you'd better go back quickly."

"Go back!?" Mu Baozheng sneered, "I came here to see with my own eyes what I want to see, why are you in a hurry to go back!?"

Looking Su Yibin up and down, Mu Baozheng said contemptuously: "If you are afraid of something, just go back first."

Su Yibin was about to leave, but when his eyes touched her, he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and stopped in a strange way, his eyes were full of obsession that was almost desperate.

"You know very well that I can't leave you anytime..."

However, what he murmured in return was Mu Baozheng's cold sarcasm, "Is it true that you can't live without me, or can you not live without that pill?"

Su Yibin's throat moved, as if he had a lot to say, but in the end he gave it to him with a helpless wry smile.

The two of them hid behind the boulder, on the other side, Concubine He had already ordered Nanny Gui to fill up the wine glasses in front of everyone.

Mu Changge listened to what Concubine He had to say, then glanced at Qi Jinzhi, and made a secret look at him. This was agreed between the two of them before they came, as long as Concubine He was able to save face, after that He just found an excuse to leave.

At that time, Qi Jinzhi agreed very straightforwardly, but at the moment, when Mu Changge passed his gaze over, he clearly saw it, but sincerely put on a dazed expression, and didn't even have the slightest intention of getting up and saying goodbye. No.

There was a slight smile on Mu Changge's face, "Recently, the wind has inexplicably picked up. On the way here, didn't I hear the prince say that I was caught with the wind and cold, and I couldn't blow the wind."

Before he could react with the concubine, Qi Jinzhi smiled slightly, "I'm afraid you may have misheard, what I said should be that Mozhu was caught in the wind and cold, but fortunately, it's getting better soon."

Raising his eyes and quickly exchanging glances, Qi Jinzhi's attitude was particularly obvious, and the implication was that no matter what you said, if he didn't want to leave, then he would resolutely not leave.

Hearing the words, Concubine He was not in a hurry, and just said indifferently: "Even if the prince really can't blow the wind, just add a screen to block it, but the fairy peach wine here in this palace will not be drinkable after a while. It's so good."

"What the concubine concubine said is that since the king tasted it last time, he has been thinking about this fairy peach brew. It is said that the fruit has a weak taste, and it is rare to have such a mellow fragrance."

"My lord is right. It is also the first time in Changge's life that I have seen fruit wine with such a rich aroma, but..." Mu Changge's delicate nose moved, and he smiled sweetly, "Today, the concubine and empress don't know where to go." After a few jars came out, the aroma of this wine seems to be so strong that people can't drink it and get drunk."

He Taifei's fingers loosened, and the chopsticks touched the wine glass, making a crisp sound.

"People really don't accept old age, and their fingers are not flexible. It's really a bit disrespectful." He Taifei smiled, "However, after what you said, I also feel that the fragrance is a bit strong. Nanny Gui, light some incense to smoke the smell of wine, if the smell of wine is too strong, it won't be so fragrant."

Watching Nanny Gui light the incense, she said slowly to the concubine: "It's also just a coincidence. A few days ago, someone happened to come to send some incense sticks to this palace. The taste is very elegant. I didn't expect to send it today. Useful."

"Madam Su's skill in making incense is probably incomparable to those craftsmen." Nanny Gui replied with a smile, "No one can make a similar fragrance to it."

He Taifei also responded: "That's true, it's just that she is still not proficient in what she does elsewhere, and it is a bit too loose."

Mu Changge looked at the fragrance, and the incense stick that was lit on the side seemed to be burning too fast. Under the green smoke, a little red light flickered, and it was indeed burning more vigorously than ordinary incense sticks.

Today's concubine and concubine are uncharacteristically. In the past, concubine and concubine didn't always have anything to say, but today they are really much more amiable.

After drinking a glass, Mu Changge took the handkerchief and lightly tapped the corners of his lips. After drinking, his pair of phoenix eyes were faint, revealing a bit of confusion.

"The concubine's wine... is it stronger than before?"

Concubine He first showed astonishment, and then smiled slightly, "These fairy peach wines are all brewed by myself, and they are all exactly the same, but there is nothing stronger than the other."

Qi Jinzhi raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "Nine times out of ten, it's because the peach grove is so beautiful that the second lady has some wine so that everyone can get drunk."

"Since your lord likes this peach forest so much, you have to take a good look at it." He Taifei raised his eyes, his wrinkled face, when looking at this peach forest, a touch of tenderness appeared immediately.

"Such a beautiful peach grove, except for this palace, I'm afraid I will never see it again in the future."

He Taifei sighed softly, as if lamenting the beauty of this peach forest, or...inexplicably sad, reluctant to part with something.

"Even Ben Gong, probably won't be able to look at it a few more times..."

"Your Majesty..." Nanny Gui hurriedly tried to persuade her, "My Majesty's body is also very strong during this beautiful day, why is it so sad for Spring and Autumn?"

"What I'm saying is that this is what I'm saying, and it's a disappointment for you, my lord." He Taifei suppressed the sadness, and his face became a little kinder, "I'm old, and I can't drink much of this wine, no matter how good it is. You guys, drink a few more glasses if you like."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." The bewildered expression in Mu Changge's eyes seemed to be a little more serious, and his drinking movements were not as polite as before. He raised his head very cheerfully, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing her like this, He Taifei smiled kindly and nodded, but under that loving smile, there was a flash of harshness, not even revealing half of it.

No one knew that the Xiantao brew she gave Mu Changge and the others today tasted the same as the others, but she skillfully mixed it with spirits.

She has been brewing wine for many years, and it is so easy to add spirits without anyone noticing, and the drinker will never taste any difference.

Just a short while ago, Mu Changge had already drank several cups. According to her drinking capacity, she might be so drunk that she would be in a daze before long.

As for the King Cang... and the corner of the concubine's eyes, he glanced at Qi Jinzhi indistinctly, and a chill flashed across his eyes.

No matter how good his drinking capacity is and he is not drunk at the moment, as long as he drinks a few more glasses of this wine, he is not afraid that he will not be able to pour it down.

He and the concubine picked up the teacup on the side and poured the tea mixed with the aroma of wine into his mouth. Just seeing the reflection of the peach grove in the cup, he already had a lot of reluctance to leave.

To her, this peach forest is more important than life.

But... as long as it is for the sake of the late emperor, as long as it can make the late emperor feel at ease, even if she has to destroy this peach grove with her own hands, she will not hesitate!

The moment this thought appeared in He Taifei's mind, the branches and leaves of the peach forest also began to rustle, as if responding to her thoughts.

The wind picked up.

Concubine He suppressed the tenderness in her eyes, replaced by an old but incomparable fortitude.

Looking up at the two people on the table, Mu Changge's expression was obviously drunk, and his demeanor was no longer as dignified as before, almost lying on the table.

Qi Jinzhi's appearance was not much better than hers, the wine glass was still held in his hand, but it looked like it was on the verge of falling, ready to slip anytime.

"Mu's girl?" He Taifei called softly, seeing that she had no answer, he called again tentatively, "Your Highness?"

Qi Jinzhi responded indistinctly, twisted his fingers, and the fairy peach wine in the cup spilled out.

The two of them were already drunk to the point of unconsciousness, and the wind that was blowing over them gradually increased.

"Why did you become so overwhelmed with alcohol all of a sudden." He Taifei sighed softly, then turned to look at Suyu and Mo Zhu.

I only listened to Concubine He's instructions: "Whether you have caught the wind or not, after drinking, it's always bad to blow the wind. You two should move faster, and go back and get them a thin cloak, lest you get a headache after blowing the wind." It's not good."

Suyu and the two of them didn't doubt that he was there, so they immediately agreed with the concubine, and then left in a hurry.Only the two of Mu Changge and Bizhu were left behind.
