Chapter 97: The Night-Blooming Flowers Fill the Courtyard with Fragrance
Just as the maid had prepared herself and was about to go in, a gentle voice came from her ear.
“I’ll deliver this.”
The maid turned her head and saw that Luo Chuxue had, at some point, stood behind her.
Luo Chuxue’s appearance immediately flustered the maid, and she almost couldn’t hold the wine tray steady.
Fortunately, Luo Chuxue was quick and caught the tray.
The maid realized her mistake and quickly knelt down. “Your Highness, this servant did not know that you had suddenly come.”
“It’s fine. You can go down. I’ll take care of it here.”
Luo Chuxue’s words undoubtedly lifted a heavy burden from the maid. The maid nodded in agreement and left without saying much.
Luo Chuxue had not originally planned to come, but she always felt that if she didn’t come tonight, something would happen.
So she followed her heart and came here.
Luo Chuxue took the wine tray and was about to enter the door.
The two guards had not originally wanted to stop her, but when they saw that it was Luo Chuxue, they looked at each other, and one of them bravely stepped forward.
“Your Highness, the Grand Preceptor has ordered that no unauthorized personnel are to enter and disturb the banquet!”
“Unauthorized personnel?” Luo Chuxue looked at the two guards, her brow slightly furrowed.
“One of them inside is my imperial brother, and the other is my junior sister. How did I become an unauthorized person?”
“This…” The two guards were speechless, not knowing what to say.
Luo Chuxue: “Since you two have orders, I will not make things difficult for you. I will just deliver the wine and come out. It won’t be too long.”
In fact, the two guards were just following orders. The most awkward situation was this kind of conflict of orders.
The people below did not want to offend either side.
So Luo Chuxue’s proposal was already very good. After the two guards thought it through, they no longer stopped her.
Anyway, if something happened later, they could just say that the Princess had insisted on going in, and it had nothing to do with them.
Without the guards’ obstruction, Luo Chuxue quickly went in.
In the room, Su Lingxi and Luo Yunxuan had nothing more to talk about. The Grand Preceptor had clearly underestimated Su Lingxi’s eating speed.
The wine had not even been served, and the person was already full.
Su Lingxi was about to go back when the door was suddenly knocked.
“I’m already full, and the dishes are just being served.”
Su Lingxi complained a little. But when she opened the door, the person she saw was Luo Chuxue.
“Hey, Chuxue, are you here to eat too…”
Su Lingxi didn’t know why Luo Chuxue had come and thought that she was also here for the banquet.
But it was clearly too late now.
“No, I’m here to bring you wine,” Luo Chuxue explained.
Su Lingxi looked at the exquisite wine pot and shook her head. “I can’t drink this. I’m a one-cup drunk.”
Although Luo Yunxuan could drink, he was not in the mood to drink in this situation.
Luo Chuxue smiled. “It’s fine. We’re at home. It’s okay to get drunk.”
She raised her hand and held the handle of the pot, pouring a small cup for both Su Lingxi and Luo Yunxuan.
The wine was of the highest quality. Just by being in the cup, it was already fragrant.
Looking at the wine that Luo Chuxue handed over, Luo Yunxuan shook his head. “I’d rather not drink this wine. I think we’ve eaten enough. It’s time to go back.”
“This wine is for Su Lingxi.”
Luo Yunxuan pushed the cup back to the table.
But Luo Chuxue took Luo Yunxuan’s cup.
“Lingxi, we don’t seem to have ever drunk together. Since brother is not drinking, then I’ll accompany you.”
Luo Chuxue raised her wine cup and looked at Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi also felt that if she didn’t drink at all, it would be a bit disrespectful.
“Alright, then I’ll just have a taste!”
Su Lingxi picked up the wine cup and took a small sip. A fresh fragrance came from her mouth.
The taste of this wine was not as spicy as she had imagined. Su Lingxi said that she could still accept it.
Then, to show off her non-existent masculinity, she drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
“Delicious. Not spicy at all.”
Luo Chuxue silently gave Su Lingxi a thumbs-up, so she imitated her and also drank it in one gulp.
Seeing the two girls drinking freely, Luo Yunxuan couldn’t help but remind them, “Alright, alright, a taste is enough.”
“This kind of wine from the Canglan imperial family doesn’t feel like much at first, but it will get you drunk after a while.”
“It’s fine. Chuxue and I will just have a little today.”
Su Lingxi said as she poured herself another cup.
“Alright, then you two be careful.”
“I’ll be going back first.”
Luo Yunxuan felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay here, so he went out first.
As for what to do if the two girls got drunk, it didn’t really matter.
At that time, he could just order two maids to send them back to their rooms.
After Luo Yunxuan finished speaking, he left the courtyard. The two guards’ expressions changed when they saw him come out alone.
Because the Grand Preceptor had instructed that neither the Crown Prince nor Su Lingxi could come out alone. Even if they were to come out, they had to see the two of them come out together.
Seeing that Luo Yunxuan was about to come here, the guard took a step forward, his mind racing. “Your Highness, the Grand Preceptor has just given this lowly one an order.”
“He said that if he saw Your Highness come out alone, he should remind Your Highness to remember to come out with Miss Su.”
“So as not to lose the way of hospitality.”
Hearing this, Luo Yunxuan asked in return, “Why, is the Grand Preceptor afraid that I will leave Su Lingxi alone?”
Faced with Luo Yunxuan’s question, the two guards were suddenly silent.
But Luo Yunxuan thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was a dinner for two, so it wasn’t good to leave the other person behind.
Although Luo Chuxue was inside, he still had to go through the motions.
Just as Luo Yunxuan was about to turn around, he saw that Luo Chuxue and Su Lingxi had already come out.
“Is this okay now?” Luo Yunxuan asked.
The two guards thought for a moment.
The Grand Preceptor had said that the Crown Prince and Su Lingxi should come out together, but now there was also a princess.
But it didn’t seem to have any effect. Anyway, they had all come out together.
The guard immediately stepped aside to make way and bowed. “Respectfully sending off His Highness, the Crown Prince.”
Luo Yunxuan said goodbye to Su Lingxi and the others and then left.
As Su Lingxi and Luo Chuxue were walking back to the hall, Su Lingxi suddenly felt a little dizzy.
The alcohol was probably getting to her.
She was swaying as she walked.
Luo Chuxue supported her. “Look at you. I told you to just have one cup, but you had three.”
Su Lingxi refused to admit that she was showing off. “I’m not drunk. I’m just a little sleepy.”
“Alright, I’ll help you back.”
Su Lingxi and Luo Chuxue actually lived separately, but seeing that Su Lingxi was drunk, Luo Chuxue wanted to take her to her own bedchamber.
Although Luo Chuxue had also drunk a lot, because it was her family’s wine, she had a certain resistance to it.
So she was not that dizzy yet.
On the other hand, Su Lingxi was a little delirious, but she could still hear what Luo Chuxue was saying.
Seeing that Su Lingxi was in a daze, Luo Chuxue suddenly had a bold idea.
“Little Lingxi, do you still remember the Moon Dream Spirit Gauze I gave you that day? I want to see you wear it now. Can you wear it for me?”
Luo Chuxue cupped Su Lingxi’s flushed face. Su Lingxi leaned against Luo Chuxue’s chest and said “alright” in a daze.
Su Lingxi took out that Moon Dream Spirit Gauze, but she was a little delirious now.
Seeing this, Luo Chuxue asked tentatively, “Little Lingxi, can I help you put it on?”
Su Lingxi still instinctively replied “alright.”
Luo Chuxue boldly began to change Su Lingxi’s clothes one by one.
A moment later, Su Lingxi was wearing the Moon Dream Spirit Gauze and lying on Luo Chuxue’s princess bed.
Her face was still flushed.
At this moment, the effect of the aphrodisiac water had also taken effect.
Slowly, the more Luo Chuxue looked at Su Lingxi, the more she looked like a delicate flower, just lying there waiting for her to be picked.
Su Lingxi was the same. She narrowed her eyes, and her gaze towards Luo Chuxue was scorching.
“Junior Sister Su… you smell so good… I like you so much.”
Luo Chuxue, as if possessed, uttered shameful words, but she couldn’t resist her own consciousness at all.
“Senior Sister, I’m so hot.”
Su Lingxi’s face was red as she turned away, her lips slightly parted.
Luo Chuxue lightly bit her lower lip. One hand was already propped up by her shoulder, completely enveloping Su Lingxi.
Her fingers had already untied the soft sash at Su Lingxi’s waist. Su Lingxi did not resist, but instead accommodated Luo Chuxue.
Suddenly, in a fleeting moment, Su Lingxi regained a bit of her consciousness. She suddenly turned the tables and pressed Luo Chuxue down.
Su Lingxi whispered in her ear, “Chuxue, let’s be together forever, okay?”
Luo Chuxue nodded shyly.
In the room, the lilies on the table bloomed. Under the moonlight, the two girls’ figures slowly merged into one.
