The Noble Consort, no matter how angry or dismissive, couldn't change any facts. Beyond stewing in her frustration, there was nothing she could do.
「Over there.」
After just a few sips of wine, Xia Ruqing started to feel a bit dizzy, somewhat puzzled.
My tolerance for alcohol is clearly not bad, so why do I feel like this after just a few sips?
My head feels like it's filled with paste; I can't make sense of anything!
The noise of the banquet made it even harder for her to think. When she saw others laugh, she followed with a silly smile. When she saw others clap, she joined in clapping her hands.
Is this... being drunk? Xia Ruqing's muddled head couldn't figure it out.
She didn't know how much time had passed.
Zi Yue whispered in her ear, "My lady, it's over; we should go back now!"
Xia Ruqing's cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes hazy. "Ah? Time... to go back?!"
With the support of Zi Yue and Zi Su, Xia Ruqing staggered to her feet.
"Ugh..." Her head was so dizzy!
