Several princesses and princess-consorts stared at Chu Qianli with wide eyes and open mouths.
Even Princess-consort Yexuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Although everyone wanted to see her gulp down that filthy thing, now that she was about to drink it, they found themselves at a loss for a reaction.
It somehow felt... too easy, didn't it?
So easy that it was eerie!
"Little Lili, don't..." Feng Mingzhu tried to break free from Princess-consort Yexuan's grasp.
But Chu Qianli calmly smiled, "Princess-consort Yexuan, as I toast to you, I must drink. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful; however..."
She pushed back slightly.
That smile somehow made everyone's heart skip a beat.
"I'm just a guest. If the host hasn't even drunk yet and I'm already drinking, it seems... unreasonable."
"Ha!" Princess-consort Yexuan laughed derisively, her unexplained anxiety disappearing in an instant.
What was she thinking, being so proactive?
Is it all just an act?
