Newcomers' wine competition!
Almost everyone was cheering. The North and South Lords stood up one after another, eager to give it a try.
Han Yunxi had just stolen the limelight. If they could win this wine competition against Han Yunxi, then even if their fame wasn't as great as Han Yunxi's, they would at least be on par with her.
Wasn't the purpose of participating in the Plum Blossom Meet to become famous? When a woman became famous, she would attract a group of admirers. For men, it was the same.
Fame and fortune. When one's fame grew, there would naturally be benefits to be gained.
"Esteemed wangfei, since everyone is so enthusiastic, you shouldn't disappoint them!"
North Lord Zhangsun Che smiled as he walked out, fanning himself with a fan in his hand. His distinguished and elegant bearing and bewitching smile made it impossible for any of the girls to take their eyes off him. Of course, Han Yunxi wouldn't even spare him a glance after seeing a true evildoer like Gu Qishao.
With the North Lord's appearance, the South Lord Li Muge didn't want to be outdone. He followed closely behind, walking to the center of the banquet.
Opening his fan, he covered half of his face, which was even more delicate than a girl's. He pouted, "Esteemed wangfei, to be able to compete with you in wine is this little one's fortune. Don't disappoint this little one and hurt his heart!"
Han Yunxi almost vomited. The North and South Lords were simply one evildoer and one evildoer, a perfect match!
"Imperial Aunt, why are you so unhappy? What's the big deal about a competition? I didn't expect you to be so afraid of losing! "Princess Changping urged. She couldn't wait any longer.
At this time, Han Yunxi stood up, calm and composed. "Of course we can compete. But, how will we compete? What will happen if we lose? What will happen if we win? Shouldn't we at least make it clear?"
Whether it was a blessing or a disaster, she couldn't avoid it. She threw caution to the wind. Although it was more troublesome, she hadn't tried it before. She might not lose.
Today, she had to do her best to convince these people and become the biggest winner of the Plum Blossom Meet. She would be the only winner. Let's see who would dare to find trouble with her in the future.
Seeing Han Yunxi agree, Princess Changping was overjoyed. She stood up as well. "You three newcomers will fight. The winner will be the arena master. You will guard the arena and accept challenges from others. If you lose..."
Before Princess Changping could finish speaking, Han Yunxi interrupted her. "If you lose, take off your pants and run a lap around Xuanwu Street!"
Cough!
Cough cough!
Hearing these words, Princess Changping choked and coughed several times. The surrounding people were all stunned. Many of the maidens' faces flushed red. Even the males were looking at each other in dismay, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Han Yunxi, oh, Han Yunxi. Last time, you made a bet with Mu Liuyue about taking off your outerwear. This time, you actually want to take off your pants. Are you still a woman? You are really ruthless! Are you that confident of winning?
Unexpectedly, Han Yunxi added, "This rule isn't limited to just us three newcomers. It's the same for those who challenge the arena master. If you win, you'll be the arena master. If you lose, you'll have to take off your pants and run a lap around the arena!"
Since you're going to play, you might as well play big!
Hearing Han Yunxi's words, the women who'd been itching to give it a try all turned ghastly pale as their hearts beat like drums of retreat.
Although the outcome wasn't certain, the rules were set. Once they participated in a drinking competition, there would be risks. Who would dare to let themselves take such a risk?
One had to know that Mu Liuyue had such a prominent status and was also Princess Changping's close friend. Even if someone else took her place, her reputation would still be ruined. If they were to lose, wouldn't they end up even worse off than Mu Liuyue?
The crowd was silent. The North and South young masters, who were as ostentatious as flowers, were also silent, their faces filled with disbelief.
Very good, just now everyone was urging and even provoking Han Yunxi. Now, it was Han Yunxi's turn to provoke.
She raised her brows and looked at the North and South young masters, smiling, "Since the two young masters are in such a good mood, why don't we play a bigger game? You wouldn't dare, right?"
The North young master, Zhangsun Che, had never been able to withstand provocation. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear, "How could we not dare? As long as the wangfei is willing, this one will definitely accompany you to the end!"
He thought, Han Yunxi was at most a woman. Although her background was ordinary, she was still a well-behaved girl. How many opportunities did she have to compete in drinking? How good could her alcohol tolerance be?
She proposed such a frightening condition, most likely to scare everyone away. Others might fall for it, but he wouldn't fall for it!
She, as a woman, could afford to play, but as a man, how could he not dare to play? What would others think if this spread out?
A man versus a woman, who was afraid of who?!
Once the North young master agreed, the South young master, Li Muge, couldn't refuse.
Although he was extremely unwilling and didn't have the guts, the North young master had already agreed. If he backed down, wouldn't he become a laughingstock?
"Alright, wangfei, this one will also accompany you to the end." Li Muge finally said something with a bit of manliness.
Han Yunxi was very satisfied and gave the two of them a thumbs up. Her actions were free and easy, full of confidence. The surrounding people were uneasy and began to speculate. Could it be that this woman's alcohol tolerance was very good? Was she hiding her strength again?
After settling the North and South young masters, Han Yunxi looked at Princess Changping, "Changping, who else wants to participate? Do you want to announce your name first?"
Princess Changping immediately looked at the crowd, but other than the men who didn't want to participate in the beginning, the rest of the women didn't raise their heads.
Princess Changping immediately lost face and angrily called out, "Shangguan Qinger, you're coming?"
"Princess, Qinger's stomach doesn't feel well today. I don't even dare to eat too much tea and pastries. Maybe next time." Shangguan Qinger softly refused.
"Su Yingxue, you're coming?" Princess Changping asked again.
Su Yingxue was so frightened that she quickly waved her hands, "Princess, my alcohol tolerance isn't good. You know that."
Princess Changping was very embarrassed. She huffed and asked a few more people, but without exception, all of them refused. The people who had been making a fuss just now all withered and hid.
One had to know that they were different from the North and South young masters. The North and South young masters' alcohol tolerance was publicly acknowledged, and they had a high chance of winning against Han Yunxi. However, they were still women!
If Han Yunxi became the ring master, who would dare to take the risk when they saw her so confident? Who knew how much she could drink?
If either the North or South young masters became the champion, then they would lose for sure!
At the very least, even if they could win, once they won and became the champion, they would have to accept other challenges. Who could guarantee that they would always win?
This was a business that would definitely suffer a loss!
Princess Changping was about to ask again, but Han Yunxi stopped her. "Changping, you're also participating, right?"
Uh...
When these words came out, Princess Changping immediately became nervous. She kept asking others, why didn't she think of herself?
She definitely wouldn't participate! How could she take such a risk?
She felt awkward and pretended to casually glance at the sky. "I think I'll pass. It's getting late. Maybe by the time the three of you are done, the sky will be dark. This time, I'll let you guys fight first."
Princess Changping thought that Han Yunxi was simply too arrogant. Did she think she was so great after being in the limelight just now? She actually dared to propose such a bet.
The North and South young masters weren't easy to deal with. Otherwise, she wouldn't have risked being scolded by her imperial mother to invite them.
It didn't matter if others didn't fight. As long as Han Yunxi fought, as long as Han Yunxi got drunk, everything would be easy to handle.
As for the bet, it could only be said that Han Yunxi brought it upon herself. She was seeking death!
After confirming that no one else was participating, Han Yunxi finally let out a breath of relief. She had proposed such a bold bet in order to make others cower in fear. This way, her only opponents would be the North and South young masters.
If she won against these two, her troubles would be solved!
For the sake of fairness, the three of them didn't use a double elimination system and didn't care who went first. Instead, all three drank at the same time.
Within the set time, whoever drank the most wine would be considered the winner.
The table was set and the wine was served. The drinking competition was about to begin!
After confirming that they didn't need to participate, the crowd was once again in high spirits. The atmosphere was very lively as everyone cheered for the three of them. Without a doubt, it was all for the North and South young masters. Han Yunxi calmly sat down, unaffected.
The three of them each had a table and a chair. The table was filled with wine jars, with quite a few piled to the side. A palace maid stood by each of them, ready to serve wine at any time.
The host was, of course, Princess Changping. She meaningfully glanced at Murong Wanru, who was hidden in the crowd, then excitedly stood up and walked out. With a raise of her hands, the lively scene quieted down.
"In the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, whoever has the most empty jars will be the winner! Everyone present is a witness! "Princess Changping loudly declared.
"No problem."
"Sure!"
The North and South young masters liked this kind of rule too much. In the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, with their usual standards, as long as they put in a bit more effort, there probably wouldn't be anyone present who could beat them!
They glanced at Han Yunxi with disdain, then looked at each other with narrowed eyes. They clearly knew that their true opponents were each other.
"Imperial Qin Aunt, let me confirm with you again. There shouldn't be any problems, right?" Princess Changping specifically asked.
Han Yunxi seriously looked at the North and South young masters, her gaze seeming to be scanning for something. After a pause, she said, "We can begin."
"Okay!"
Princess Changping personally lit the incense on the side. "Begin!"
With that, the three of them moved almost simultaneously. The North and South young masters picked up their wine jars and began to gulp down large mouthfuls. Han Yunxi was no exception.
In a battle of quantity, there were no shortcuts. They could only drink as fast as they could!
In the beginning, it was a competition of speed. Towards the end, it was a competition of alcohol tolerance. Drinking fast at the beginning meant drinking more, but towards the end, it was a test of alcohol tolerance!
Drink, drink, drink!
The three of them moved very quickly. Jar after jar of wine was emptied and smashed to the side. As soon as it began, the scene was very intense. No one present dared to make a sound, afraid to disturb them.
Not long after, the distance between them increased. The North and South young masters had smashed almost the same number of jars, five each. Han Yunxi was two jars behind them.
Although Han Yunxi had drunk two jars in such a short time, which was considered pretty good for a woman's alcohol tolerance, this was a competition. Everyone was concerned about winning or losing. No one would sympathize with her.
"Boom!" The North young master smashed his sixth jar, followed by another bang. The South young master followed closely behind. Han Yunxi's third jar was still in progress.
"Looks like Qin Wangfei won't be able to make it in time!"
"She's already so far behind at the beginning. She'll definitely fall even further behind!"
"Isn't that so? The real competition of alcohol tolerance is at the end. Right now, the alcohol probably hasn't kicked in yet. After a while, the alcohol will kick in and she probably won't be able to continue."
Very quickly, discussions broke out everywhere …
