After the dance closed, Madam Ji, who hadn't spoken much before, spoke up. "Esteemed Empress, this place looks rather boring. Why don't we play a game?"
When she heard Madam Ji's suggestion, she could not help but be moved. She turned her head to look at Yu Yu and asked, "Yu, what do you think?"
Yu Yu naturally saw through Imperial Concubine Liu's thoughts. "Then we'll have to see what Madam Ji wants to play. If Madam Ji's suggestion isn't good, then I won't agree."
Hearing that, Madam Ji immediately replied, "Why don't we play with the drums and pass on the flowers? After hearing the drum, the person with the flower in his hand not only wants to drink a cup of wine for himself, but also to appoint a guest to drink wine. Madam Ji was beaming with joy when she spoke. From this, it could be seen that she really liked to play around.
This was the first time Imperial Concubine Liu heard of such a rule. In the past, those who lost when playing drums and passing on flowers were either pairing couplets or writing poems, so Imperial Concubine Liu immediately nodded in agreement.
After receiving Imperial Concubine Liu's instructions, the palace maid immediately left. She quickly prepared a drum and brought it to the Supreme Harmony Hall. A young eunuch began to beat the drum, his eyes blinded.
The flowers were quickly passed from Imperial Concubine Liu to the next person. Everyone's face was filled with nervousness.
Soon, more than half of the flowers had been spread, but at that moment, the drum suddenly stopped beating. The hand of the young woman that was holding the flowers up for the next person was still in the air.
Soon enough, she realized that she had lost. Her face flushed red as she withdrew her hand and confidently drank a cup of wine. When Madam Ji saw this, she said, "Young Madam Li, why don't you choose a person to drink with you?"
Young Lady Li seemed to be somewhat embarrassed. Her gaze swept across the hall before finally landing on the slightly older wife beside her.
At this moment, Madam Ji smiled and said, "In the end, Young Madam Li is still young. Since you don't have the face to call anyone else that, you can drink it. But after you return, you can't settle the score with Young Madam Li."
Hearing Madam Ji's mocking tone, many of the ladies in the Supreme Harmony Hall burst out in laughter. Even Doctor Li glared at her. "You talk too much!" The imperial concubine can't even stop your mouth from eating so much delicious food! "
As he spoke, Doctor Li drank a cup of wine. With Madam Ji here, the atmosphere in the Supreme Harmony Hall was very good. Soon, the second round began with laughter and cheers.
This time, the one who received the flower was Lady Xu. Lady Xu also drank her wine in a very straightforward manner, before her seemingly unfathomable gaze swept the hall once more before finally landing on Wu Zhangkong.
Seeing this, Lady Xu silently poured herself a cup of wine. Unexpectedly, Lady Xu suddenly turned her head and said, "You're the only one with so much to say. I think you want to drink."
She followed Madam Xu's gaze and saw that it was Madam Ji. Upon hearing Madam Xu's words, Madam Ji immediately smiled and said, "It's still better that you understand me and know that I want to eat wine. That's why you sent me a reason."
When he saw the situation, he put down his wine cup and quietly said to Imperial Concubine Liu, "Empress, this Lady Xu, it seems that Lady Ji and the Li family's first wife are on good terms?"
Imperial Concubine Liu nodded her head, "That's right. The Xu family and the Ji family have been friends for generations. The two of them grew up together, so the Li family's first wife is frank and generous."
After she finished speaking, she looked at him with eyes full of nostalgia and sadness, as if she was looking at a certain person through her eyes.
Imperial Concubine Liu was a little curious. She didn't know who Imperial Concubine Liu was looking through. With a puzzled face, she quickly regained her senses and quickly covered up her absent-mindedness.
Imperial Concubine Liu didn't want to say much, so she was clever enough to not ask any further questions. But because of Imperial Concubine Liu's absent-mindedness, this drum sound had been used by her this time.
Imperial Concubine Liu didn't refuse. She immediately picked up her wine glass and drank. She originally wanted to drink wine by herself, but after thinking about how rare it was and how young she was, she gave up on that idea.
Then the flowers continued, and at that moment a maid came to refill the pot of wine that was still fresh, and threw a ball of paper at Yuichi as she left.
The paper was written on top of it: Beware of Cheng Yuan, Beware of Qi. After reading it, she crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into her pocket.
He glanced in the direction of Qi and Cheng Yuan and made up his mind. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but after the sound of the drum stopped, the flower was in Qi's hands.
At first, Qi Yu wanted to let Cheng Chong take the lead, but this was a rare opportunity. Qi Qi didn't want to give it up, so she poured a glass of wine from the pot on Cheng Yuan's table.
Then she brought the glass to Yu Yu. While everyone was still curious about what Qi was trying to do, she rarely said what she wanted to do.
"Sister, before in the house, sister was the only one who wasn't sensible and did a lot of wrong, so sister should blame her, but now sister already knows that she's wrong, so she wants to use this opportunity to make up with sister." Sister, before in the house, sister should be the only one who isn't sensible and should blame her sister, but now sister knows that she's wrong, so we should use this opportunity to make up with sister.
As Qi Qi spoke, her eyes shined a little. She looked very carefully, which made people feel sorry for her.
However, Qi Qi seemed to have made a mistake. All of them were the head ladies, and there was no shortage of those alluring concubines. Who would actually like their own husband's concubines?
What happened with Qi was exactly the same as what happened with the concubines. The wives present immediately felt disgusted with her.
However, she didn't notice this. She was waiting for her answer. If she refused, she would lose her pride.
If she didn't refuse, then it would be a good show. It was a happy ending for Qi, but what Qi didn't expect was that as soon as she finished talking, she immediately agreed.
"Alright!" As she spoke, she picked up her glass to trade with her. She held out her hand to exchange the cup with the glass, and then she touched it.
