Chapter 503: Drinking
"That means Huan'er has no other choice but to accept all this?"
After An Lingrong expressed her guess, both Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were shocked.
After calming herself down, Shen Meizhuang asked An Lingrong this question.
That’s what she said, but Shen Meizhuang already had the answer in her heart.
Rather than asking An Lingrong a question, it would be more like simply venting!
"Ugh……"
An Lingrong sighed and did not answer, because the "answer" was already self-evident.
"Okay, I know what you mean. Now that things have come to this, there is no need to worry about me anymore."
Zhen Huan couldn't bear to see her two good sisters sighing for her, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "After talking for so long, you must be thirsty, right? I'll ask Liu Zhu to bring some of the fruit wine that Jin Xi brewed earlier. We sisters haven't had a drink for a long time!"
"Nonsense!"
Shen Meizhuang glared at her and said unhappily, "You just gave birth to a child, how can you be so careless? You haven't even had your period yet, and you still want to drink? Don't you want this body anymore?"
"A little drink will soothe your mood. Besides, we sisters need to get drunk once in a while!"
Zhen Huan shook her head and insisted on drinking despite Shen Meizhuang's dissuasion. She then called Liu Zhu over.
Seeing this, An Lingrong signaled to Shen Meizhuang not to stop Zhen Huan.
The person facing this kind of thing now is Zhen Huan. Even though they are also worried about Zhen Huan, they still cannot completely empathize with her.
So, since Zhen Huan wants to choose a way to "vent", it is better to go along with her.
Shen Meizhuang also understood this truth, but she just couldn't bear to see Zhen Huan tormenting her body.
After being hinted by An Lingrong, Shen Meizhuang did not continue to persuade, but showed an attitude of "sacrificing one's life to accompany a gentleman".
Shen Meizhuang's reaction made Zhen Huan couldn't help laughing.
"Master?"
After Liu Zhu came over and learned about Zhen Huan's plan, she was shocked.
After coming to her senses, Liu Zhu shook her head like a rattle and refused to give Zhen Huan the fruit wine that Cui Jinxi had prepared earlier.
"Girl, you actually learned to disobey orders?"
Zhen Huan glared at him and said, "Go and get it quickly!"
"My lady, it's not that I want to disobey your orders, but how can you drink alcohol in your current state?"
Liu Zhu is wholeheartedly doing this for Zhen Huan's own good, and as she spoke, she turned her gaze to Shen Meiyu and An Lingrong, hoping that they could work together to persuade Zhen Huan.
"useless."
An Lingrong said, "Since your mistress wants to drink, then bring it to her. Don't worry, Sister Mei and I will be watching her and will definitely not let her drink too much!"
Seeing this, Liu Zhu looked at Zhen Huan's unquestionable attitude, and Shen Meizhuang nodded at her. She knew that this matter could not be refused, so she had to bring out the fruit wine that Cui Jinxi had brewed earlier.
"Sister Huan, we have an agreement. Sister Mei and I will drink with you, but you can only taste a little!"
After Liu Zhu brought out the wine, An Lingrong was the first to pour a glass for Shen Meiyu and herself, and then issued a notice to Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan also knew that her body was not suitable for drinking alcohol, but the atmosphere just now was too solemn.
In order to ease the mood of her two good sisters, Zhen Huan said she wanted to drink.
After saying this, Zhen Huan did have a slight desire to "drink to drown her sorrows".
After hearing An Lingrong's words, Zhen Huan knew that they were doing this for her own good, and nodded immediately, "Don't worry!"
After getting Zhen Huan's consent, An Lingrong poured a small cup for Zhen Huan as well.
The wine glasses they used to drink were small to begin with, and Zhen Huan's glass of wine was only enough to take one sip.
Shen Meizhuang saw all of this and was very satisfied with Zhen Huan's "obedience".
"No matter what, I wish Huan'er the happiness of having a daughter!"
Shen Meizhuang raised her glass first and expressed her best wishes to Zhen Huan.
"I wish Sister Huan all the best and everything goes well!"
Soon after, An Lingrong also expressed her expectations to Zhen Huan.
"Thank you!"
Zhen Huan accepted it with a smile, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
This fruit wine was carefully brewed by Cui Jinxi using fresh fruits. It was actually not really wine, but more like a drink. So even though half a bottle went into An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu's stomachs, they were like nothing happened and didn't seem drunk at all.
"No, I can't let you drink any more!"
But seeing that the pot of wine that Liu Zhu brought was almost finished by An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang, Zhen Huan hurriedly tried to stop them.
Of course, she was not worried about the wine, but she was afraid that An Lingrong and the others would really get drunk.
In this palace, you can’t get drunk just because you want to!
"Little Master!"
Just when Zhen Huan was about to ask Liu Zhu to prepare sobering soup for An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu, Cui Jinxi suddenly ran in.
"what happened?"
Seeing that it was Cui Jinxi, Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked Cui Jinxi to comfort the sisters who were already 80% drunk.
Cui Jinxi first took An Lingrong and Shen Meiyu to the guest room in the side hall according to Zhen Huan's instructions, and handed them over to Huanbi to take good care of them.
Immediately afterwards, Cui Jinxi returned to Zhen Huan's side.
"What's wrong, but has something happened?"
Seeing Cui Jinxi coming back, Zhen Huan guessed that something must have happened outside and asked about it immediately.
"Yeah...Su Peisheng came here just now."
Cui Jinxi nodded to Zhen Huan and said, "He came here on the orders of the Emperor. The Emperor has decided to promote you to the title of 'Concubine Wan' on an auspicious day next month!"
After hearing what Cui Jinxi said, Zhen Huan closed her eyes.
Sure enough, I can’t escape!
Although she had prepared herself mentally, when the news really came, the words that An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang had just said once again came to Zhen Huan's ears.
Unfortunately, there is no way I can fight back now.
After a moment of silence, Zhen Huan slowly nodded to Cui Jinxi.
"I know."
After saying this, seeing that Cui Jinxi had nothing else to say to her, Zhen Huan signaled her that she could go down.
"Yes, the slaves retire."
Cui Jinxi was also a person who had seen many changes in the world. She had been in the palace for so long, how could she not see that if Zhen Huan was made a concubine at this time, it would be really harmful and useless?
However, this matter was the emperor's decision.
In this regard, even the Queen Mother cannot change her mind, so what can the rest of them do?
Isn't it just a matter of letting it go?
Thinking of this, Cui Jinxi sighed inwardly and did not dare to say much. Instead, she walked out silently, leaving the quiet space to Zhen Huan to digest these things alone.
