Chapter 105 Drinking
Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo’s bad mood became worse. He suddenly reached out his hand.
With his eyes flashing dangerously, Chu Tiankuo gripped Zui Linglong’s neck tightly, and said coldly, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can just talk about this casually?”
Chu Tiankuo was really annoyed. He couldn’t bear to listen to other people who were spreading filth about Tang Xia. However, he also knew that he couldn’t kill her so rashly, so he didn’t use all of his strength. But it was enough for Zui Linglong now.
Zui Linglong managed to retain her composure at the beginning. Later, her face became more and more purple, and her closed mouth couldn’t help but gape open. Her tongue lolled out, and the whites of her eyes were protruding.
Chu Tiankuo thought it was enough, so he loosened his grip before Zui Linglong suffocated. Zui Linglong sat down on the ground, breathing heavily through her mouth. But she had hit Chu Tiankuo hard in the place where he could not see.
“I am telling you, you are just an imperial concubine. Even if you are a female immortal, you must understand the position and honor in this palace! What I want to do, and how I do it, is not something for you to teach me.”
“I, I was also doing it for your sake, dear emperor! If Your Grace really has something against the prince of Nanmen, Nanmen Yi… ” Zui Linglong breathed heavily and stood up. Her eyes looked straight at Chu Tiankuo as she said calmly.
Chu Tiankuo saw that she would not stop talking even before she reached the Yellow River. She had almost died just now. Yet she still persisted in saying this kind of thing. Where did her courage come from?
“Zui Linglong! Remember who you are, and don’t talk nonsense!” Chu Tiankuo said coldly to her. His eyes stared back at Zui Linglong, and he had a fierce look on his face.
Zui Linglong did not seem to be the least bit afraid, and she looked into Chu Tiankuo’s eyes directly. After long while, Chu Tiankuo snorted coldly and went away.
At this time, Tang Xia and Nanmen Yi were at the Buddhist temple and sitting on the futons. They were praying sincerely so as to enable the gods to appear.
However, Tang Xia was stiff after a while.
“My legs are sore! This will take another three days. It’s terrible!” Tang Xia thought silently in her heart that since she became the queen, she rarely did the rites of kowtowing. She was the queen who accepted the bows from the other imperial concubines!
“I am tired of kneeling! Why did people kneel in the ancient times? Didn’t they feel tired? Or… Is this a form of exercise for the ancient people?”
Tang Xia thought about it in her mind, and moved her tired legs from time to time to ease their circulation.
Although Nanmen Yi was not as uncomfortable as Tang Xia, he was also a bit annoyed. “It’s better in my country.” Nanmen Yi thought.
“There are so many rules for people here. I heard that the rite of kowtowing is a ritual here that is done on a daily basis. How tiring is that! Kneeling for a while is actually more tiring than riding on the grassland.”
Nanmen Yi naturally heard Tang Xia moving about, and it felt odd to him, “Even she can’t stand the rules of her own country.”
Nanmen Yi opened his eyes discreetly and peeped at Tang Xia. Seeing her moving her body and the look of impatience on her face, he felt a little piqued but did not say anything.
After a while, both of them couldn’t stand it anymore. They opened their eyes and looked at each other, but didn’t know what to say.
“Let’s take a break!” They said this together. The scene suddenly became so quiet that only the sounds of their breathing could be heard, which was rather embarrassing.
“It’s becoming bit awkward now!” Tang Xia lowered her head and thought in her heart.
“That… ” Tang Xia made a sound first. Nanmen Yi turned his head and looked at her with bright eyes. Tang Xia almost couldn’t continue. She calmed her mind and said, “Are there any funny happenings in your country, Nanmen?”
Hearing her asking about his own country, Nanmen Yi’s eyes lit up suddenly.
“Nanmen has lots of fun things! You can ride horses on the grassland, and you can also barbecue there!”
“What else?” Tang Xia asked hurriedly. She really did not want to be in this embarrassing situation any more.
“We have a lot of activities and food that you don’t have here. I don’t think the food here is very delicious,” Nanmen Yi thought for a moment and said, “I don’t like the food here. I miss the food at home.”
“The local customs and habits of each place are different, so each person has their own tastes! It can be difficult to adjust.”
Tang Xia echoed.
“If you really don’t like it, I’ll find a chef from Nanmen to cook for you after our prayers.”
“Okay!” Nanmen Yi smiled brightly at Tang Xia.
Nanmen Yi’s smile was incredible. The audience who had been secretly squinting at the screen saw the handsome guy smiling brightly and he looked so handsome. Suddenly all of them went crazy.
“Ah, ah! Nanmen Yi’s smile is so sunny and handsome!”
“I really admire the anchor who is able to talk to the handsome guy face to face!”
“You are not alone. Fortunately, I am clever! I have screenshots! Now I can see the handsome guy every day!”
“How can the upstairs… Why are you so clever! Please give me the pictures!”
“Seeking screenshots of the handsome guy and Chu Tiankuo! Won’t you follow me in this formation, little cuties? Hurry up! Send pictures!”
“I only want to know how the anchor can still chat with him when she is facing such a handsome guy.”
“I admire the anchor whose psychological quality is strong!”
“Chu Tiankuo is also very handsome! The anchor is with him every day, so she is quite immune to the handsome guy!”
Tang Xia secretly saw the bullet screen about the immunity to the handsome guy. She suddenly burst into tears in her heart.
“Who said that? How can I be immune to a handsome guy? I am not immune to Chu Tiankuo!” Tang Xia thought angrily in her heart.
At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly, “Your Grace, imperial concubine Xiao asked me to send wine to you and the prince of Nan Men.”
“Come in!” Hearing that she was the palace maid who was bringing in things, Tang Xia let her in.
The palace maid gently opened the door and walked in front of Tang Xia. The wine in her hand was placed in front of Tang Xia and Nanmen Yi. She lowered her head and said,
“Your Grace, imperial concubine Xiao said that you needed to drink this wine when you ask the gods to come out. Only when you do that will you be able to remove any distracting thoughts in your heart and make your mind transparent, and only then will you succeed finally.”
Tang Xia looked at the wine in the white jade bottle in front of her, and felt puzzled, “Is there really such a magical thing?”
Tang Xia hid her hesitation, and said to the palace maid, “Okay, I know, go out now!”
“Yes.” The palace maid bowed to Tang Xia and Nanmen Yi and left.
After the palace maid left, Nanmen Yi picked up the bottle and smelt it, “What fragrant wine!” He couldn’t help but sigh.
“Really? I don’t know how to drink!” Tang Xia looked at the wine, but she didn’t think it was that magical. Moreover, her capacity for drinking was not good at all.
“But, you still need to drink!” Nanmen Yi looked at Tang Xia and said, “Or, your Grace, you will just drink a little, and I will drink more. My drinking capacity is one of the best in Nan Men!”
Tang Xia thought that was feasible, so she picked up the wineglass and poured a little for herself, “Well, I will just drink this much.”
Nanmen Yi did not say anything. “A woman having little capacity for liquor is very normal” Nanmen Yi thought and picked up the wineglass. He was very bold to pour himself a full cup.
“I want to say! You are too stingy. One should use a big cup to drink! Such a small cup is not enough for me. It isn’t comfortable at all.” Nanmen Yi looked at the empty wineglass after one sip, and complained.
Tang Xia smiled softly, “The wine needs to be tasted slowly! How can it be like you… “Before Tang Xia finished her words, Nanmen Yi looked at Tang Xia with blurry eyes and his body started shaking.
“No! After only one cup! How could he say that he is one of the best? What kind of wine did he drink in Nanmen?” Tang Xia spat this out in her heart.
Nanmen Yi slowly fell down on Tang Xia, and she looked at him in horror, “Prince, wake up! Don’t get roaring drunk!”
However, it seemed that Nanmen Yi could not hear Tang Xia, and fell directly onto Tang Xia.
“Nanmen Yi! Wake up quickly! Stay away from me!” Tang Xia said loudly, and pushed Nanmen Yi with her hands, wanting him to wake up.
Tang Xia overestimated her strength. She pushed hard for a long time, but Nanmen Yi did not move an inch! Nanmen Yi pressed down on Tang Xia. It seemed that he felt uncomfortable, and moved into a more comfortable position.
Tang Xia did not know what Nanmen Yi wanted to do to her. He crashed against Tang Xia, which made Tang Xia’s hair suddenly stand up.
“What should I do? What should I do? Am I going to be raped? Although Nanmen Yi is very handsome, “Tang Xia thought silently in her heart, “but I already have Chu Tiankuo! How can this be?”
Just when Tang Xia wanted to yell loudly to get the servant to help her.
Just in time! “Pong!” It seemed that the door was kicked in by someone! Tang Xia turned around and looked. It turned out that it was Chu Tiankuo!
“Oh, someone is finally came to help me? Tang Xia looked at Chu Tiankuo and thought with some happiness.
Chu Tiankuo stepped forward and walked around beside Tang Xia and Nanmen Yi. He took Nanmen Yi easily and threw him roughly to one side.
