Bab 568: Martial Sword Dance

Li Hua, Jin Yu, Ai Fen, and Xiaolian gathered in Jin Yu's chamber. Jin Yu looked at the porcelain cup in her hand and looked at the three of them. "Why are you not three drinking at all? You three are missing the true essence of life," Jin Yu told them. 

"How is the wine a true essence of life?" Xiaolian asked. "I will get scolded if my mother finds me in a drunk state," she stated. 

"Do not tell your mother then!" Jin Yu said and gulped the wine in a single shot. "All the princes have gathered together for the wine party. Why we women cannot do this? We should celebrate too," Jin Yu stated and looked at Li Hua. She encouraged her to drink the wine and she sipped it. 

"I should take one shot too," Xiaolian said with a sigh and brought the cup to her mouth. 

"Princess Xiaolian looks sad. Is everything good?" Li Hua asked. Ai Fen gazed at Xiaolian to hear her answer while Jin Yu filled their cups.
