King Qin was weak and could not drink, so he put hot tea in front of him.

He offered tea instead of wine and toasted everyone who came to the Qin Palace for the banquet to express his gratitude.

It's not right to say it's hot tea. It's just a cup of steaming water without any tea leaves.

It is said that the King of Qin had to take medicine every day, and tea could easily dilute the medicinal properties and should not be drunk.

No matter where he was, King Qin always drank a glass of water, and no one dared to object.

King Qin was in poor health and often stayed alone in the house, either reading or sleeping. Just like he couldn't drink alcohol or tea, he couldn't eat many things and couldn't do many things.

Some people mentioned King Qin and lamented that such a life is actually meaningless at all.

But some people envied King Qin. He was born weak, but he was extremely valuable.

If nothing else happens, he should be established as the prince, and the entire Shang Dynasty will belong to him from now on.

Just like today when there was a banquet at the Prince of Qin's palace, no matter what everyone was thinking, when they saw the King of Qin, everyone had to salute and say flattering words, for fear of angering the King of Qin.

The emperor can ignore King Qin, the emperor does not need to establish a prince, and the emperor can decide to give the empire he conquered to whomever he wants.

But similarly, the King of Qin is the only son of the head of the family and the Queen. If anyone dares to offend the King of Qin, the King of Qin will kill him as well as the Queen.

This is royal power, which may not be truly possessed, but is inviolable.

The King of Qin did not drink, but there were three fine wines on the table: Qionghua juice, Yutuanchun, and green plum wine.

The wines are all good. Qionghua juice and Yutuanchun are both royal wines in the palace. It is said that the green plum wine was brewed by the empress herself and specially given to the King of Qin for banquets.

Lu Sheige was in a good mood today. When no one was paying attention, she asked the young eunuch to pour her a glass of green plum wine. Qionghua juice and Yu Tuan Chun were not visible, but the green plum wine brewed by the Empress herself was even more rare.

The King of Qin who was opposite fell on the wine glass in Lu Sheng's song. He frowned slightly but said nothing. He only glanced at the little eunuch who was pouring wine for Lu Sheng. He was so frightened that the little eunuch shivered and didn't understand.

What did I do wrong?

King Qin was a man of indifferent temperament and seldom spoke.

Fortunately, at his table, except for the outsider Lu Sheige, the others were all children of newly wealthy families. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was actually much more lively than the tables next to it.

There are several people whose ancestors or fathers hold high positions in the government. Looking at their table, ripples inevitably arise in their hearts.

Those who wanted to cut off their relationship with King Qin couldn't help but feel lucky that they were not sitting at that table. However, they wanted to establish a relationship with King Qin, but they felt a little displeased when they saw Lu Sheige, the only one who didn't fit in at that table.

This kid didn't know where he came from, and he actually hugged the thighs of the Duke of Zhen and the Marquis of Yongyi, and got a seat on King Qin's table.

If he falls into the eyes of King Qin, and one day King Qin ascends the throne as emperor, wouldn't this kid also have a place in the Jinluan Palace?

Lu Sheige held up the Qionghua juice in his hand and secretly sipped it.

She is actually not good at drinking, but the rules of the Lu family are not strict. During the Chinese New Year and festivals, Lu Quan and Qiu will also drink together, and several sisters in the family will pour a light glass to accompany them.

Lu Sheige didn't know how much she drank. She only remembered that when she was a child, there were guests in the village, and her father, Lu Yuanshan, held her at the table and dipped his chopsticks into the wine to give her a taste.

At that time, she was not afraid of the pungent taste of wine, and would try it a second time after tasting it once. Later, her father gave up angrily after being scolded by her mother.

In fact, my father is not a good drinker, but my mother, Shen, likes to have a few drinks.

The eldest brother is more like his father. For as long as Lu Xiange can remember, the eldest brother Lu Hongnan has almost never drank alcohol and will get drunk if he does. But the second brother is like his mother, he likes wine very much. During a festival, my mother drank more than half of the jar of glutinous rice wine.

The second brother secretly took me to the yard to box and drink, saying that only after drinking alcohol can we do drunken boxing well.

Most of the jar of wine was drunk and spilled, and was completely ruined by the second brother.

Later, the eldest brother complained, and his father whipped the second brother twenty times with a willow stick. The second brother did not relent and only said that he was not drunk, so why couldn't he drink.

Lu Xiange didn't know whether the second brother was drunk or not. He only remembered how bold the second brother was while boxing in the yard, picking up a wine jar and pouring wine into his mouth. Also, after the second brother drank the wine, he became what the storytellers said about the heroes.

After drinking the wine, the jar fell on the rock. Broken porcelain fragments flew, and a small piece fell on her right hand, causing a bloody wound. She was so frightened that she cried loudly, which made her eldest brother complain to her parents.

.

Later, the wound never healed. After the second brother woke up, he felt guilty and squatted in front of her and swore that he would never drink alcohol again.

She did not tell her second brother that the reason why the wound did not heal was because she wanted the pair of birds in his yard.

The second brother, his uncle, and Little Tiger caught the bird in the back mountain. The second brother said it was a male and a female, and they could give birth to baby birds in the future.

She liked it very much, but the second brother was unwilling to give it to her. He only promised to give the baby bird to her when the baby bird was born.

She waited and waited for so many days and nights, but they didn't give birth to a baby, let alone a baby, not even an egg.

In order to get the pair of birds, she touched the scratched wound with her hands.

The doctor told me not to get water on the wound or touch it, otherwise it will be difficult to heal.

Sure enough, her wound never healed. In order to make amends, the second brother gave her his favorite pair of birds.

After raising the bird for a few days, she didn't like it. Later, one night when it rained heavily, she forgot to ask her aunt to take the bird back to the house. When she went to see the bird in the cage the next day, she found that the cage had fallen to the ground, and the pair of birds had also fallen to the ground.

Gone missing.

The second brother didn't blame her, saying that they should have gone home. They never gave birth to babies or eggs. Maybe they were not a pair of birds, but a pair of brothers or a pair of sisters. That's why they braved the rain.

Go home and look for their parents and brothers and sisters.

She asked, why can't they be a brother and sister?

The second brother touched her head and said, they must be a brother and sister. The brother and sister were homesick on a rainy night, so the brother opened the cage and took his sister to fly to the back mountain to find their parents and brothers and sisters.

Went.

She was unwilling again and retorted that maybe her sister had opened the cage and flew to the back mountain with her brother to find her parents.

The second brother rarely argued with her, and just said, no matter whether it was the brother or the sister who opened the cage, they had already flown out and were free.

Lu Sheige drank the Qionghua juice in one gulp, put down the wine cup, and raised his hand to touch the small scar on his right hand.

This is a memory shared by her and her second brother. Except for her and her second brother, no one knows why the two brothers’ favorite birds were under her window.

Her parents thought that the second brother would grow up and be sensible, while the eldest brother thought that the second brother was guilty of hurting her because of his drinking.

Only she and her second brother knew that in order to get the pair of birds, she left scars on her hands that would never go away.
