Chapter 249: The Tree Wishes to Stay Still, but the Wind Will Not Cease

Several princesses and princess-consorts stared at Chu Qianli with wide eyes and open mouths.

Even Princess-consort Yexuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Although everyone wanted to see her gulp down that filthy thing, now that she was about to drink it, they found themselves at a loss for a reaction.

It somehow felt... too easy, didn't it?

So easy that it was eerie!

"Little Lili, don't..." Feng Mingzhu tried to break free from Princess-consort Yexuan's grasp.

But Chu Qianli calmly smiled, "Princess-consort Yexuan, as I toast to you, I must drink. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful; however..."

She pushed back slightly.

That smile somehow made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"I'm just a guest. If the host hasn't even drunk yet and I'm already drinking, it seems... unreasonable."

"Ha!" Princess-consort Yexuan laughed derisively, her unexplained anxiety disappearing in an instant.

What was she thinking, being so proactive?

Is it all just an act?
