Prince Qing clapped his hands, and immediately a beautiful songstress gracefully approached carrying a pot of fine wine.
"Your Highness, this is a fine wine that I sourced from the Western Regions. It is extremely rare, and I would like to invite Your Highness to taste it."
Jing Rou stared at the bottle of wine, and unconsciously swallowed because of her nervousness.
After saying that, the songstress poured Qi Zhi a full cup of wine.
"The wine is fragrant and mellow; it is indeed a fine product," Qi Zhi exclaimed.
Princess Qing and Prince Qing exchanged a glance, their silence speaking volumes.
"Please!" Prince Qing picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and then drank.
Qi Zhi smiled, picked up the wine glass, glanced at it first, and then took a closer sniff.
Jing Rou's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
"Tsk~"
"It is indeed good wine!" Qi Zhi finally took a sip after hesitating for a while and praised it.
Jing Rou's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally calmed down. She glanced at Princess Qing, who also gave her a knowing look.
"If Prince Qi likes it, I will give you a few more bottles to take back and enjoy later," Prince Qing laughed heartily.
"Then it would be disrespectful for me to refuse."
Seeing that Prince Qing and Qi Zhi were exchanging pleasantries, Jing Rou knew it was time. She stood up and said, "Rou'er is a little drunk and will go to rest first."
Prince Qing nodded. "Alright, then you can go back to your room first."
"Yes."
"I've heard that Crown Prince Qi is a master swordsman. I wonder if I might have the honor of witnessing his skill?" Prince Qing added.
Princess Qing playfully scolded Prince Qing, "Your Highness is truly drunk. Crown Prince Qi is of noble status; how can you allow the Crown Prince to perform sword dance?"
“Since ancient times, heroes have always discussed swordsmanship based on their own hearts, regardless of their status. Moreover, I admire Crown Prince Qi. Heroes should cherish each other,” Prince Qing retorted.
Qi Zhi knew that a stage had been set up for a performance, but he still picked up his sword and stood up, wanting to see what was going on. "Your Highness is absolutely right. I am willing to perform a sword dance to add to the fun."
Qi Zhi's figure flashed, appearing in the center of the hall like a ghost. His movements were swift as the wind, and his sword flashed, dazzling the eyes.
Qi Zhi danced faster and faster, his sword whistling through everything in its path. After a few moves, the onlookers praised him repeatedly.
"Crown Prince Qi's swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, a feast for the eyes." Prince Qing clapped his hands.
Qi Zhi sheathed his sword and smiled, "Your Highness flatters me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zhi, who had just finished his sword dance, suddenly felt unwell and even staggered.
"What's wrong with Crown Prince Qi?" Prince Qing quickly ordered his servants to help Qi Zhi up.
"I am unharmed." Qi Zhi was about to return to his seat when he found himself almost unable to stand.
Prince Qing stood up from his seat and walked down. "It seems the wine from the Western Regions is quite strong. Someone, help Prince Qi to his room to rest."
"No need..." Qi Zhi wanted to refuse, but his vision blurred again in an instant.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Although this wine is strong, its effects are short-lived. You will be fine after resting for a while."
After he finished speaking, the servants in the mansion helped Qi Zhi to the side room. Seeing that Qi Zhi could hardly stand, Prince Qing was very satisfied.
"Your Highness, it seems the medicine is taking effect."
Princess Qing nodded, "Just now, when Crown Prince Qi was practicing his sword dance, he used his internal energy to accelerate the effect of the medicine, which will make it come on faster and more quickly."
"But... just now the Prince suggested that Crown Prince Qi be married into the Prince's household, but he seemed indecisive." A hint of worry flashed across Princess Qing's face.
"Is it wrong for him to be my son-in-law? Since he won't listen to reason, then I'll just have to force him!" Prince Qing said, flicking his sleeve.
Princess Qing's expression was complicated, and she said with concern, "Then we'll have to see what Rou'er does."
After the servant escorted Qi Zhi to his room, he left, leaving behind a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Qi Zhi struggled to the bedside, then collapsed. Through his hazy vision, he saw a strange woman sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at him. The woman was stunningly beautiful, with clear and captivating eyes. He reached out and touched something soft, and seemed to hear a woman's gentle voice.
"Brother Qi~"
Now that he had a beauty in his arms, Qi Zhi, being a lecherous man, even though he was mostly sober, still decided to play along and have sex with her first.
"Ah, no~"
"Come on~"
Inside the room, there were soft, coquettish moans and the man's heavy breathing.
Before long, Qi Zhi seemed to have exhausted all his strength and finally stopped moving. Both he and Jing Rou's faces were flushed.
Although it wasn't Jing Rou's first time having sex, she was unconscious last time, and this time she truly experienced what lovemaking was like. Even after Qi Zhi stopped, she was still recovering for a long time.
It wasn't until Qi Zhi unconsciously muttered to himself, "Good wine~" that Jing Rou remembered that she had something important to do. She carefully reached her hand into the gap by the headboard, where there was pigeon blood that had been prepared in advance.
"Ok?"
Why isn't it there? Jing Rou felt around, left and right, but she couldn't find the bottle. She had clearly placed it there beforehand. As she felt around, she also had to be careful that Qi Zhi might suddenly wake up.
"What's going on!" Jing Rou couldn't help but curse under her breath. She got up to look for him, but as soon as she got up, Qi Zhi on the bed stirred a few times, looking like he was about to wake up.
Jing Rou felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She couldn't care less about finding pigeon blood anymore. She quickly shrank into the quilt, pretending to be innocent, bewildered, and shy.
"My head... hurts so much..." Qi Zhi slowly opened his eyes and saw Jing Rou lying obediently beside him.
To put on a convincing act, Qi Zhi feigned surprise and asked, "Princess...you, how did you get here?"
"We are..."
Jing Rou buried her head under the covers and said shyly, "Crown Prince Qi was drunk just now, so...we..."
Her appearance spoke volumes. A lone man and a woman, disheveled, alone in a room. Qi Zhi understood Jing Rou's intentions, but he found it strange that Jing Rou, so beautiful and of such high status, didn't need to rush to offer herself to him even if she didn't want to marry into the Southern Frontier.
Something unusual must be going on. Based on Qi Zhi's years of experience as a womanizer, there is only one possibility!
So Qi Zhi searched everywhere for that touch of crimson, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. This confirmed Qi Zhi's guess, so he was not only tricked, but also had to take the blame!
