Yin Rou and Wu Mei toasted to each other and drank their wine. After drinking the wine, Yin Rou could not help but let out a sound of surprise. Wu Mei asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"The taste of this wine is very strange." Yin Rou frowned and said.
Wu Mei smiled and explained: "This is the fruit wine the King specially brought from the Chuan Country.
"Oh, so it's from the Chuan Country." Yin Rou responded as she was enlightened. When the maid beside her had filled her cup once again, she picked up her cup and took a sip, carefully tasting it, as if she liked it.
Wu Mei secretly paid close attention to Yin Rou. After drinking the wine, she did not have any changes at all, and there were no Spirit Pressure emitted from her body either.
It could be said that this outcome was already within Wu Mei's expectations. How could a dignified princess do anything as though she was a member of the Divine Pool? Even if he told her to go to the Divine Pool, she probably wouldn't go.
Just as she was pondering in her heart, Fan Min chuckled and said: "What fruit wine, it is actually just Sichuan wine, and you still have the nerve to treat it as a treasure?!" As she spoke, she picked up the cup and looked down at it. Then, she raised her head and finished the wine in the cup.
It was exactly the reaction Wu Mei expected. After finishing the wine in the cup, Fan Min immediately made a disdainful tsk sound. She scoffed, and ridiculed: "This is called wine? It's not even as good as the sweet water I concocted! "
With that, she turned around and purposely said loudly to her maid: "Give me some wind wine!"
Wu Mei was too lazy to feel the changes in Fan Min's body, her voice unconsciously raised. "No one forced you to drink, where did all this nonsense come from?"
Hearing the tit for tat between Wu Mei and Fan Min, Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan who were sitting below looked at each other and laughed bitterly. These two wives were normally very gentle, how did they become like this after meeting each other?
The two of them raised their wine cups and interrupted, "I also want to toast to Madame!"
The anger on Wu Mei's face immediately disappeared, and she smiled sweetly at Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan, and charmingly said: "The two elders being able to welcome you all has already brought light to my humble dwelling."
"Ah, Madame is too serious." As they spoke, the two raised their cups and prepared to drink. When Jin Xuan's lips touched the rim of the cup, her actions clearly hesitated for a moment. Seeing that, Huangfu Xiutai immediately placed the lifted cup back down and looked at her in puzzlement.
But Jin Xuan only hesitated for a moment, then smiled and praised: "This wine is made out of fruit wine, it should come from the Palace of Chuan Country." As she spoke, she finished the wine in her cup in one gulp.
Jin Xuan was too sensitive with regards to medicinal herbs, before she started drinking, she suddenly felt that there was a problem with the alcohol, but she quickly realised that the alcohol only contained Spirit-gathering Pill s, and did not harm anyone, and immediately understood the reason behind Wu Mei's birthday banquet. She laughed in her heart, and then, without any hesitation, she drank all the wine.
Seeing her drink, Huangfu Xiutai then raised his cup again, giving his a toast before drinking it all.
Seeing that everyone was toasting to Wu Mei, Shauna was not willing to accept it. She picked up her cup and used a voice that she was not familiar with: "I also want to toast to Madam Le Ping."
Wu Mei was overjoyed, and drank a cup with Shauna. In her view, Shauna was definitely not a spy for her Divine Pool. She was the princess of Bessa, and simply wasn't someone from the Haotian Empire s.
Yin Rou, Fan Min, and Shauna had all drunk some wine, but there were no changes whatsoever on their bodies. Wu Mei's gaze naturally fell on Yuan Qianyi's body.
If it was said that one of the consort and the other wives was a spy, the person Wu Mei suspected the most was Yuan Qianyi.
Yin Rou, Fan Min, and Shauna all knew each other's background, and each of them had a strong background. Yin Rou and Shauna were both princesses, while Fan Min's family was the number one merchant's family in the Feng Country.
Although she was the widow of the previous dynasty, she did not have any family, and no one could prove her background. She was usually low-key and did not show off her skills, but sometimes, she was also very smooth.
Wu Mei raised her wine cup and looked at Yuan Qianyi. She asked with a smile, "Why is Sister Yuan not drinking at all? If you don't like it, your sister can get someone to change the wine. "
Hearing Wu Mei ask her about herself, Yuan Qianyi was no longer able to stay out of this matter. She smiled slightly and said: "I'm used to it, there's nothing I don't like. Today is my sister's birthday, I should pay my respects to my sister first!" As she spoke, she picked up the wine cup.
"F * ck!" Wu Mei said smilingly, and then, without waiting for Yuan Qianyi to react, she drank all the wine in her cup first.
Her "birthday" had already drunk all the wine, if Yuan Qianyi did not drink too, she would appear to be too sensible, and give her too much face. Yuan Qianyi laughed, she lowered her head and looked at the cup, and then slowly lifted it up.
Wu Mei stared straight at her, not missing a single movement. Even after she finished drinking the wine, Wu Mei still did not take her eyes off her.
She did not speak, and only stared at Yuan Qianyi for a long time. However, there were no changes on Yuan Qianyi's body, she just sat there quietly, without the appearance of the Spirit Pressure.
She's not a spy! Wu Mei could not tell what she was feeling right now, whether she was happy or disappointed, in short, she had everything she had. Then, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, threw away all distractions, and revealed a strong smile, calling out to everyone straightforwardly: "Today is the birthday of the Japanese palace, I hope everyone will enjoy it to the fullest. Come, come, come! Eat wine and eat food! "
After trying to find anything, Wu Mei was finally relieved. Her entire being seemed to have relaxed a lot as she clinked cups with the rest.1
It was only at the end of the banquet that Tang Yin, who went out of the city to check on the military camp, arrived. After entering the hall, he directly sat between Yin Rou and Wu Mei, and apologized to Wu Mei: "Meier, I am really sorry, but the army suddenly has something important to take care of, so I had no choice but to go. I came back a little late." With that, he dryly laughed to everyone present and said, "I've come late. I'll first punish myself with three cups." As he spoke, he used Yin Rou's cup to drink three cups of wine in a row.
Following his arrival, the atmosphere of the banquet immediately became more lively. Since there were no outsiders present, the girls were very relaxed, and sounds of giggling could be heard from time to time in the hall.
Looking at Tang Yin who was sitting in the middle of Yin Rou and was hugging her left and right, Jin Xuan sighed secretly. She believed that this time, it was Tang Yin who planned everything, but she seemed like nothing had happened as she continued to chat and laugh happily among the girls. Even if they were comparing themselves to Guang Xuanling, the depth of his shrewdness would probably not be far, and these consort and wives would probably be kept in the dark forever, never knowing that Tang Yin had tested them without leaving a trace.
It was only until deep into the night when the banquet finally ended. The girls, as well as Huangfu Xiutai and Jin Xuan all stood up to bid their farewells. A short while later, only Tang Yin and Wu Mei remained in the hall.
Wu Mei, who was originally smiling, immediately stopped smiling and turned to look at Tang Yin, slowly shaking his head at him. Tang Yin nodded his head and casually picked up the cup from the table, absentmindedly playing with it.
"The sisters all consumed Spirit-gathering Pill s, but there weren't any changes either. It can be seen that they weren't spies on Divine Pool!"
When Wu Mei said this, she also harbored dissatisfaction in her tone as she looked at Tang Yin resentfully, as if blaming him for doubting them and even letting him join in.
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "But we can't let them go easily either. Even if they are fine with it, it doesn't mean that the people around them are fine too."
"Do you still want to continue?"
"Yes!" If the harem was unstable, the Anterior Palace would certainly be thrown into chaos. Right now is the time to openly break all ties with the Divine Pool, the harem absolutely cannot have any minute details of the Divine Pool, it must be absolutely safe! " Tang Yin said resolutely.
"But, the harem has so many maids, how can we investigate them?"
"I can only investigate slowly. This matter cannot be rushed." While she was speaking, he smiled at Wu Mei and pulled her into a corner. She gently caressed her cheeks and said softly: "This time, thank you very much, Meier."
Without waiting for Wu Mei to speak, he had already lowered his head and placed it on her cherry lips.
On the other side, Yuan Qianyi returned to her Golden Peace Palace accompanied by four personal maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Entering the main hall, the maidservants immediately dismissed the surrounding palace maids, closing the doors to the main hall tightly. Immediately afterwards, the four women all let out a long breath.
"That was close. If we did not get the news quickly enough and had young miss consume the specially made Spirit-dispersed Pill, we would have been exposed this time." The four maids wiped the sweat off their foreheads.
Yuan Qianyi sat down, her delicate face expressionless, and kept silent.
A maid walked in front of Yuan Qianyi and said softly: "Now that the Feng Country And Chuan Country has joined hands to send troops, Holy King will definitely give Miss a new mission. Miss, you must prepare this as soon as possible!"
Yuan Qianyi still did not reply. After staying in the Feng King Palace for a long time, she had gradually gotten used to living a peaceful, comfortable, carefree life. She did not want to return to the Divine Pool to undergo the most rigorous training, nor did she want to be a spy who lived a life of worry, worry, and sleepless nights. Other than that, she had developed strong feelings for Tang Yin already, so how could she possibly betray him now?
"Miss?" Seeing her in a daze, Chun Er called out to her in a low voice.
Yuan Qianyi returned to her senses, looked at Chun Er, smiled lightly and said: "I'm tired, I want to rest early."
"Miss, Feng King can do the first probing, there will probably be a second or third time in the future, furthermore, Elder Jin is proficient in Pill, maybe Elder Jin can tell that Miss consumed a special Spirit-dispersed Pill!" Chun Er said anxiously.
Sigh! Yuan Qianyi sighed in her heart, then waved her hand in frustration and said: "I am already tired, don't say anymore!"
"Miss ?" Chun Er still wanted to say something, but under Yuan Qianyi's sharp gaze, she stopped herself immediately and helped him change her clothes.
