Eighth Prince was good at words, but now he said smilingly: ”Did Fourth Miss seem to have a good relationship with Cousin Jing?” The last time he saved Lin Shu, Cousin Jing was with her.
These words were just a casual remark!
”Speaking of which, if a girl's family has a close relationship with an outsider, it would attract the attention of others,” Lin Shu said. ”Speaking of which, I met the Uncle Jingtang once or twice at a banquet, and it was later because my third sister wanted to marry into the Huaiyin Palace. This Huaiyin is a distant relative of mine, if we are talking about seniority, I should call him Uncle Jingtang.”
”So that's how it is. I was thinking that Fourth Miss and Cousin Jing are about the same age, so why did you call him 'Uncle' instead … ”Heh, knowing that my status has risen, I'm afraid Cousin Jing is very happy.” Eighth Prince laughed and pointed towards the flower garden, ”They are still waiting for me, I will go first.”
Lin Shu blessed him again, ”Eighth Prince will go over first!”
Waiting for the Eighth Prince to rush over, there were already a few empty jars at the feet of the Third Prince. When he saw them, his expression changed slightly, and he said to the Third Prince: ”Elder brother, why don't you stop them? Although the Royal Father bestowed this wine to them, and the taste was extremely good, they could not be greedy. If everyone had a headache tomorrow, what should they do? ”
The Third Prince had also drunk quite a bit of wine, and his cheeks were slightly red. Before he could even finish his words, his tongue was already moving around in his mouth. ”Today …” Everyone's happy today. What, how can we not drink alcohol … ”
When the Eighth Prince frowned, Lu Jingran had already come over and grabbed him by the shoulders, and said drunkenly: ”Come, Eighth Prince, today is the day where your royal brother is overjoyed. Why, why are you hiding in the corner? Come, let's drink together! ”No return until you're drunk, and no return until you're drunk!”
Eighth Prince had drank a few cups of wine before, but he felt that he was not strong enough, so he decided to take a walk. Now that he had woken up a little, he was held back by the others, ”Cousin Jing, I can't drink anymore … ”You should drink less wine, just in case you get a headache tomorrow morning.”
However, Lu Jingran grabbed onto him and refused to let go, raising his wine cup and shouting, ”Our Eighth Prince said that he cannot drink it, come, let's toast to him!”
Most of the people present were princes or royalty, and they grew up together, so there wasn't that much restraint. Even though they didn't have much in common with each other, after drinking a few cups of yellow soup, their guard was slightly loosened … Not to mention that Lu Jingran had mentioned many events from his childhood, to the point that the Sixth Prince's eyes had reddened. How did his brothers, who were originally fine, become like this?
Now, the Sixth Prince had even taken the lead and drank three cups at the same time. Under his and Lu Jingran's instigation, everyone drank a few cups at once.
Looking from afar, he really did look like a bunch of drunkards.
But as he continued to drink, Lu Jingran became unwilling to start drinking. How could the Sixth Prince possibly agree to that? Jing Ran, who said that we would get drunk? I … I haven't even had my fill yet, why aren't you drinking anymore? ”
Lu Jingran only put down the cup and let out a long sigh, ”I just remembered some unhappy things.”
”Come on, what else can you do that makes you unhappy?” The position of the successor to the National Duke Ning Palace had already been decided. With the National Duke Ning Palace, you will be able to search for flowers and ask questions. If you have a happy day, I … ”I've heard about it. Now that you have won the title of the number one card in the Yi-hong Courtyard, that card looks like a fairy. Since when did you bring it here for us brothers to see?” The Sixth Prince's eyes narrowed. He no longer had his usual cautious and prudent attitude.
The Sixth Prince was usually courageous and dauntless, and his Rider's Sword Technique was always the best among the other princes. If there was anything bad about him, it would be that he was too good to drink. After drinking several cups of yellow soup, he would wake up without even remembering what he had said when he was drunk.
All the princes present burst into laughter.
Lu Jingran also laughed along with his, and his tongue started to spin, ”The beautiful Yi Hong Yuan School card is only slightly better than ordinary people, how can he compare to a Heavenly Immortal? If the Sixth Prince likes it, then I'll just send her to the Sixth Prince's estate on another day. He's just a little slut, it's rare for the Sixth Prince to like his … I just suddenly thought of the First Prince and the Second Prince, and felt sad … ”
First Prince and the Second Prince?
It had been six or seven years since the death of the First Prince and the Second Prince. At that time, the Emperor had lost two of his sons and they were severely ill, so no one had dared to bring up these two people in front of the Emperor … As time passed, the princes gradually began to forget that they still had two royal brothers.
The Sixth Prince frowned as he thought about it for a long time. Finally, he remembered, ”It's such a pity for Second Imperial Brother … However, the death of the Great Emperor was not worth lamenting. Back then, his position as the crown prince was already reached and it was a foregone conclusion. The Royal Father … The Royal Father had already prepared the imperial edict, but because the Second Prince said that the Eldest Brother was' indecisive, kind and soft-hearted, unable to be the king ', the Eldest Brother had taken the Second Brother's life. It was no wonder the Royal Father was angry … ”If it were me, I wouldn't have sent anyone to interrogate him. I would have taken his life …”
He was also bold, and now he dared to say anything.
