C35 (2/2)
”Zi Er, why aren't you toasting to Sixth royal brother?”
Sun Jinzi could only raise her head and toast to Jin Chupei. Seeing that there was not a single trace of sadness or anxiety on her face, her heart immediately felt sour. Wasn't everything alright that day in Sixth Prince's Estate?
Jin Chupei took the wine and drank it again, then turned and continued to compete with Second Prince Jin Chuhan.
Jin Chuping was famous for being a good person between brothers. In any case, he didn't care who was being spoiled, and he had no desire for the throne either. Seeing that Jin Chuao and Jin Chuao had come over, he stood up and laughed while drinking two cups of wine.
”I also wish that Second Sister and I will live forever together.”
Sun Jinning walked over to the two with a full cup of wine. She glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, not wanting to clinch a toast with her, but she was stopped by the look in Sun Jinzi's eyes. She lifted his cup with difficulty and clinked it with hers.
Jin Chuao was naturally arrogant, and now was the time for him to be complacent. Lan mother and daughter should not appear in his heart at such an occasion.
Sun Jinzi toasted to Lance's and Sun Jinning, and said: ”Today, I am extremely grateful to big sister and Sanniang for coming over, I will do it as a form of respect.”
”You haven't recovered yet, so drink less.”
Sun Jinning was displeased after receiving Jin Chuao's cold treatment, but she could not show it on her face, and returned to the Orchid Pavilion as a result.
Lance's still wanted to bring Sun Jinning to get closer to First Prince. Seeing how Jin Chuao was treating his and his daughter, he did not stop Sun Jinning from leaving.
Seeing Sun Jinning going out, a person followed after him.
After Jin Chuao finished toasting, he went to drink with Jin Chuhan and Jin Chupei, so he did not have any intention of leaving with Jin Chuping.
As Sun Jinning walked along the road, she resentfully said, ”Why do I have to work so hard to get close to you, and yet you aren't even willing to look me in the eye?”
After a moment, she gritted her teeth and said, ”It's all because of you. It's because of you, Sun Jinzi, that I have to become a Grand Imperial Consort.”
Jin Chuping followed behind Sun Jinning from a distance. From the moment he saw Sun Jinning, the strings in his heart had been struck.
”First Miss, don't be sad, I know you like royal brother.”
Sun Jinning turned to see Jin Chuping following him from behind. He was too upset just now and did not notice anyone following him.
”Who said I like the First Prince? I don't like him!”
Jin Chuping's expression was gentle as he replied, ”royal brother's beautiful appearance and the fact that he is doted on by the royal father made it so that even a young girl would like him. You don't have to hide anything, it's just that …”
He wanted to say that he was born in a royal family or an official family, and that marriage wasn't something he could choose. However, before he could say it out loud, he was interrupted.
”I already said that I do not like First Prince. Third Prince, please stop speaking nonsense.”
After Sun Jinning's thoughts were exposed, her face was sullen. If these words were to spread, she knew the consequences more clearly than anyone else.
”Eldest Miss, don't worry. I won't tell anyone else.”
Jin Chuping knew that Sun Jinning was afraid that if she were to spread the news, it would ruin her reputation.
Sun Jinning turned to look at Jin Chuping, then lowered his head and ran, he did not care if it was the way back to Orchid Pavilion.
Seeing Sun Jinning run far away, Jin Chuping also felt depressed in his heart. After returning to the hall, he went to find Jin Chuao and the other two to drink.
The Third Prince was extremely famous in the imperial court. The year before last, the Yuanba Emperor, Jin Chuyi, hosted a banquet in the intrauterine to celebrate, and after drinking five jars of strong alcohol, he did not feel the least bit drunk. The courtier who stayed behind to accompany him in drinking were all completely drunk, and even after being drunk for three days, he did not wake up the next day.
”We know about Sanyuandi's alcohol tolerance. Are you planning on drinking all of us here today?”
Jin Chuao smiled and gave Jin Chuping a big bowl of wine. Jin Chuping did not feel satisfied drinking from this cup.
Sun Jinzi naturally could not stop them either, she could only watch the four princes drink their wine from the side with the Lance's.
Jin Chuao was in high spirits today, and when he saw First Prince looking so pleased with himself, he felt displeased in his heart.
Third Prince was depressed because of Sun Jinning, so when Jin Chupei saw Sun Jinzi standing together with him, he also felt displeased in his heart.
Therefore, the four of them opened their hearts wide and started drinking. They never would have thought that the four of them had such a good alcohol capacity. After drinking the two jugs of wine, the four of them actually didn't feel the slightest bit intoxicated.
Sun Fuping did not like to drink alcohol everyday. He felt that drinking alcohol was a bad thing, so he did not have much wine hidden in the Sun Mansion.
Seeing that there was not enough wine left, he would rather let the four princes get drunk than not have any left to drink.
The Lance's immediately ordered the domestic servant to buy some good wine at a tavern. If the news of the four princes not having enough wine in the Sun Mansion got out, they would probably become the biggest joke in the world.
Jin Chuhan suddenly said: ”I suddenly feel that my whole body is scorching hot. I must have drank too much, I'll go go to the restroom first, you guys drink first.”
Jin Chuao pulled Jin Chuhan from the back to prevent him from leaving the seating area, and said: ”You aren't thinking of running away by yourself are you?!”
”Today, we won't return unless we're drunk. How could we run away?”
Jin Chuhan flung Jin Chuao's sleeves off, and his vision was a little blurry as he walked towards the door.
The two servants wanted to follow along, but Jin Chuhan waved his hand to stop them.
