"Your Highness the Crown Prince? " He Yue looked at Jin jue in disbelief.
Dressed in a long moonlight robe, Jin Jue's handsome features made him look gentle and steady.
However, such a Jin Jue would rather offend her and the prime minister's estate than stand up for her.
What kind of knockout drug did Xu Changrong give him?
Xia Ling curved her lips. "Qing he, take him away. "
"Yes! " Qing he called out to two palace maids. The three of them brought he yue into the courtyard. It was useless even if he yue struggled.
As for the people sitting at the banquet, none of them expected things to turn out like this.
They looked at each other in dismay. It was completely silent.
Not long after, some painful sounds came from the courtyard.
After a while, he yue's maid came to report that he yue was not feeling well and took her leave first.
Jin Jue gave a faint "HMM" and turned around to say with a gentle look.
"everyone, since second brother is not coming and miss he is sick and has left the banquet, let's start serving the dishes for this banquet. "
He did this to save face for he yue.
Wang Xu came back to his senses and clapped with a smile. "Yes, yes. It's rare to have a meal with the crown prince and the crown princess consort. This time, I'd like to invite Your Highness and the consort to try the Peach Blossom banquet in the peach forest. "
As he clapped, the servants came out from another courtyard with trays in their hands.
This was the eldest princess'courtyard. In the courtyard, there was a southern chef who was good at making pastries.
There were many peach blossoms here, and the chef would pick the materials from the ground. Every year, he would brew peach blossom wine and make peach blossom vegetables.
There was not much peach blossom wine, and it was expensive. However, the taste of this wine was clear and sweet, and all the noble ladies liked to drink it. Wang Xu had ordered a jar of it early on, so it was just right to offer it now.

Jin Jue gave Xia Ling face. After a banquet, no one dared to look down on Xia Ling, the crown prince's step-in-law.
Xia Ling drank some peach blossom wine.
The wine tasted fresh and sweet and matched the dishes perfectly. She drank two more mouthfuls.
She did not expect the peach blossom wine to have such a strong after effect. After the banquet ended, Xia Ling's face was a little red and charming. Her eyes were blurred and she was a little drunk.
Jin Jue helped Xia Ling up at the right time.
He helped Xia Ling up and brought her back to the courtyard where they had stayed previously.
There were guards guarding the place, so he was not worried that there would be any intruders.
*
Xia Ling was a little drunk, but her mind was still clear.
Jin Jue helped her up to the bed. Then, he did not seem to have any intention of going out. He just laid down beside her and shared the bed with her. He held his face and looked at her.
Xia Ling asked, "Jin Jue? "
She looked at him. The man's eyes were deep. He looked down at her like he was hiding something.
Jin Jue said, "yes, I'm alone. "
Xia Ling said, "I'm tired. I want to sleep for a while. "
Jin Jue: "Go to sleep. I'll look at you. "
Xia Ling: "Look at me. I can't fall asleep. "
It was too scary for a man and a woman to be in the same room together. What if she fell asleep and accidentally flirted with Jin Jue? Wouldn't she be eaten clean?
Jin Jue smiled. "Go to sleep. I won't touch you. "
Xia Ling opened her mouth, but in the end, she still shut it.
She couldn't say that she was afraid that she would get drunk and mess around with Jin Jue, causing the situation to develop beyond control... ...
They were husband and wife. Even if something really happened, it was expected.
However, seeing how independent these fragments were, it did not matter if they got close to them. If something really happened to them, she always felt that she had cheated on Ji Yuan with the fragments?
"Go to sleep. " Jin Jue pinched her cheeks.
There was a hint of childishness in her red cheeks. He reminded Jin Jue that even though she looked dignified, she was still too young to do anything excessive.
