Chapter 436 A glass of wine
"There's no need for me to lie. I'm the only legitimate princess of Dayong..."
"You only need to go back to the palace and ask your father about the inside story, and you will know everything!" Zhong Ning did not hide anything, but Murong Xin was shocked.
The legitimate princess?
Isn’t that the queen’s daughter?
But doesn’t the Queen have only one son, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was named the heir apparent?
Yes, the prince was suddenly treated coldly. Although his father had not yet taken away his title, everyone knew that the Eastern Palace was finished.
There is also the Duke of Yingguo’s Mansion. Duke of Yingguo, Fu Rongjun, is my father’s childhood friend. How could he be suddenly convicted and imprisoned by the entire mansion?
The court's explanation was that the British public formed a clique for personal gain and intended to rebel, but any discerning person could see that the growth of the British public was the result of the emperor's efforts to balance the court.
Unless there was something behind this that she didn't know about.
If what Zhong Ning said is true, then many things make sense.
My father values me so much that the reward he gives me is the best among all the princes and princesses.
Perhaps it was because the emperor felt ashamed towards his daughter and had been trying every possible way to make amends!
Although she was still unclear about the details, she knew that Zhong Ning would not lie to her. Murong Xin bowed, her voice more sincere than before:
"Royal sister, it was Zhaoyang who offended me just now!"
Murong Yun also stood up and bowed, "Yun, greetings to the eldest princess!"
Everyone stood up and was about to salute.
Zhong Ning nodded helplessly, "Everyone, sit down. I've already said that we're just playing games. I can afford it, so I won't blame you. This is a good opportunity to answer any questions you have!"
"Yes......"
Everyone sat down in turn and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There is indeed a huge scandal in this royal family.
Gu Mingzhe held Zhong Ning's small hand, tightening it slightly, his eyes full of worry. Zhong Ning smiled slightly, motioning him to relax.
Next it was her turn to turn the golden bottle.
Zhong Ning waved her hand, and Su Xin stepped forward and turned the golden bottle for her. After a moment, the golden bottle stopped, and the mouth of the bottle pointed directly in the direction of Lu Xingzhou.
"Lord Lu..." Zhong Ning smiled jokingly, and Lu Xingzhou immediately bowed in greeting. Everyone looked expectant. If they had to say who was the most mysterious among them, it would definitely be this elusive Lord Lu.
He suddenly rose to power, and it was a rapid ascent, from a commoner to the position of Supervisor of the Firearms Battalion!
This is really unimaginable.
"Lord Lu, truth or dare?" Zhong Ning asked.
"Great adventure!" Lu Xingzhou replied.
If it was a big dare, he would just do a couple of somersaults, but if it was a real fight, he might not be able to handle it.
Obviously, Lu Xingzhou had never played this kind of game even in modern times, and didn't know that the Great Adventure was truly insidious.
"Then... choose someone here and have a drink together..."
With a "puff" sound, someone choked on the wine in their mouth... followed by a suppressed cough...
Zhang Mingxuan's shoulders trembled and he pounded his chest vigorously. After calming down, he looked directly at Zhong Ning and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was disrespectful..."
Zhang Wanting glared at him fiercely and said, "If you embarrass yourself again, I won't bring you here again."
Zhang Mingxuan restrained his smile and sat up straight.
Lu Xingzhou's face was slightly stiff, he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Isn't this a big adventure that can just involve a few somersaults?
Why do we drink the wedding wine?
He still has to choose someone on the spot?
"Master Lu..." Zhong Ning suppressed his smile and said directly, "Hurry up, we are all waiting for you!"
Lu Xingzhou blushed, and stood up with his wine glass in hand. He then walked up to Zhang Wanting and whispered, "Are you willing..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhang Wanting stood up and said, "Yes!"
Lu Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and was about to raise his cup to toast Zhang Mingxuan when he heard him roar, "No!"
This is his eldest sister, the noble lady of his marquis's mansion.
How can you be so intimate with a man when the engagement is not yet confirmed?
Zhang Wanting's eyebrows immediately turned cold when she heard this. This brat actually dared to ruin her good thing. She turned around and roared back, "I'm happy, what's it to you?"
"You..." Zhang Mingxuan's face flushed with anger, and he pointed a trembling finger at Zhang Wanting and said, "You are a noble lady from the Marquis' Mansion, how can you be so frivolous?"
"You're an unmarried woman, yet you dare to take two concubines? I'm just teasing a little brother, what's the big deal?"
Zhang Mingxuan was so angry that he lost his voice. He slumped in his chair and looked down at the table. His eyes seemed to eat Lu Xingzhou directly.
After Zhang Wanting finished yelling, she suddenly realized that her true nature seemed to have been exposed.
She has always been a lady in front of Lu Xingzhou.
Zhang Wanting lowered her head somewhat guiltily, not daring to look Lu Xingzhou in the eye. She twisted her handkerchief and explained in a low voice, "Actually, I'm not usually like this..."
When Zhang Mingxuan saw Zhang Wanting calling everyone "family" and looking shy and gentle, he felt extremely upset. He turned his head away angrily and didn't want to look at this eye-catching scene.
Lu Xingzhou looked at the girl's shy profile, chuckled softly, and replied, "Yeah, I know..."
Zhang Wanting's ears felt hot, and she picked up her wine glass and took the initiative to toast him.
After a round of drinks, everyone knew that the two were in love and determined to be together for life.
Such a bold move is unprecedented, but inexplicably, it makes people yearn for it.
Not everyone has the courage to take the initiative to stand up and declare sovereignty.
Not everyone dares to cooperate like this and act so recklessly!
The noble ladies all blushed, looking as if they had learned something.
This kind of generous yet unpretentious personality seems to be quite good!
Zhong Ning had a longing look on her face, as if she had hit something. Her little hands were clenched into fists, pressed against her lips, and her eyes were full of stars.
Gu Mingzhe understood her expression and raised his glass, saying, "Your Highness, shall we also drink from this cup of wine?"
"No, I'm not the one taking the risk!"
"Your Highness, don't you want to drink with me?" Gu Mingzhe's voice was slightly deep, his eyes flashing with coldness, as if questioning Zhong Ning, are you still thinking about those energetic young men just now?
"No, no, I just want to drink..." Zhong Ning felt a little guilty. She hadn't even touched it yet and she was interrupted. What a pity!
So, after the two people below clinked their glasses, the two hosts sitting at the top also took the initiative to drink a glass.
This game becomes more exciting the more you play!
After playing a few more rounds, it was finally Fang Ping's turn to command!
And the golden bottle was directed towards Zhong Ning again.
Because the questions everyone asked were getting more and more sharp, although Zhong Ning enjoyed watching the jokes, he was not very able to cope with it if it happened to him.
Furthermore, she knew Fang Ping's thoughts and did not dare to let him question her in public.
So, Zhong Ning chose to take a big risk.
A flicker of disappointment flashed across Fang Ping's eyes, but he quickly perked up and said somewhat deflatedly, "Since this is a big adventure, Your Highness, please put on a show!"
Everyone present:........
At this moment, the entire hall was silent.
Fang Ping belatedly realized that he seemed to have suggested a rather inappropriate way of taking a risk.
If it were in modern times, there would be nothing wrong with everyone getting together and performing a show.
