"You and Qiu Ci can have that ginger tea together. As for the hangover tea from the kitchen, have Xiao Luzi make a trip and deliver it to the front yard."

Li Chenjiao knew a little about the Fourth Prince's temper.

Naturally, he wouldn't stay overnight in Bai Jia's courtyard, but Fourth Master probably wouldn't come here either, so he must feel a little guilty.

Li Chenjiao could guess what Fourth Master would ask Fulu to send her tomorrow to compensate and comfort her.

To be honest, Fourth Master was already feeling unwell enough from being drunk, and then he was forced upon—

Just thinking about it is painful enough.

Li Chenjiao had waited so long, she really couldn't hold on any longer.

The entire mansion was brightly lit because of this incident, but Li Chenjiao's place was the first to turn off its lights and get some peace and quiet.

Just as the lights went out, Su Peisheng's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

"Princess Li—Princess Li, the Fourth Prince has arrived."

Forced to open her eyes, Li Chenjiao really wanted to curse!

——

The courtyard where Bai Jiagege lived was very remote, making it extremely difficult for her to help the drunk Fourth Master to his courtyard from there.

In addition, although the Fourth Prince was drunk, he seemed to retain a sliver of sobriety, and he showed considerable resistance when Bai Jia Gege helped him up.

So Bai Jia Gege hurriedly helped the Fourth Prince to the empty courtyard in the mansion that she had arranged in advance, but because of the Fourth Prince's struggle, Bai Jia Gege did not have time to succeed.

Instead, he was directly thrown aside by the Fourth Master. The snow had not been cleared. The Fourth Master leaned on something, and as his palm touched the coolness of the snow, his eyes gradually cleared.

He wasn't some naive young man who hadn't experienced much of the world. He had heard many such stories in the palace when he was young, and at this moment, the Fourth Prince's eyes were filled with disgust.

"Get out!"

Princess Bai Jia was surprised by the Fourth Prince's strength. She was thrown aside and slammed into the stone path in the garden. Her palms burned with pain, probably because they had been cut open.

Blood mixed with strands of hair congealed in one place, which was somewhat horrifying.

Fourth Master did not show much pity; instead, his expression was sinister. He held a handful of snow to stay sober and calm the sudden surge of agitation.

The faint fragrance still seemed to linger at the tip of his nose. At this point, how could Fourth Master not know that Bai Jia had come prepared, and that she would even resort to such a despicable thing as aphrodisiac incense?

"You bastard!"

Fourth Master was not one of those spoiled brats; even when drunk, he remained rational and didn't associate with just anyone.

Unable to even control his own lower body, the Fourth Master had to despise himself first when drunk.

He staggered towards the front yard while Bai Jia was unable to stand up. Fortunately, Su Peisheng returned quickly after seeing his wife off.

On the way, she almost dropped the palace lantern in the Fourth Prince's hand.

"Master—why isn't that brat Fulu serving you—"

The snow in Fourth Master's palm had already melted into foam: "Go to the East Courtyard. Have someone take Bai Jia back to her courtyard."

Su Peisheng had no idea what was going on. While supporting Fourth Master, he cursed Bai Jia for causing trouble in his heart, wondering what kind of antics she was up to in the middle of the night.

Li Chenjiao welcomed the Fourth Prince in such a setting.

They had to tell the kitchen to prepare hot water as soon as possible. Li Chenjiao waited for Su Peisheng to help the Fourth Master to the couch and then handed him ginger tea that had gone cold.

Just like last time when the Fourth Master was drunk, Li Chenjiao fed him ginger tea.

Li Chenjiao didn't know what had happened outside, but she could tell that although Fourth Master's clothes were a bit disheveled, he seemed to be quite lucid.

Li Chenjiao could then guess that Bai Jiashi had probably not succeeded.

Then—once Fourth Master wakes up, Bai Jiashi won't have an easy time.

The Fourth Master suppressed the heat in his heart. The familiar scent of plum blossoms in the room relaxed him. However, after Li Chenjiao finished feeding him ginger tea, he grabbed her wrist.

The teacup fell to the ground with a thud.

Fourth Master's hands were broad and thick, easily able to hold Li Chenjiao's wrist in his palm.

The warmth traveled from his wrist, and a wonderful feeling arose spontaneously. Fourth Master was completely relieved and pulled the person into his arms.

Li Chenjiao didn't want to reason with a drunkard, and she really couldn't stand the smell of alcohol on Fourth Master, but she also felt sorry for him tonight, so she lowered her voice.

"I'm going to take a bath first—"

As he spoke, Fourth Master lowered his head and buried it in Li Chenjiao's delicate neck, his hot breath sending a shiver down his spine.

Li Chenjiao sighed and finally stopped struggling, letting the Fourth Master hold her. After all, the Fourth Master was drunk and didn't cause any trouble.

Fourth Master hugged Li Chenjiao tighter, his tone somewhat aggrieved: "She used aphrodisiac incense on me—"

Li Chenjiao gasped in shock, and this time she dared not move.

She patted Fourth Master's back reassuringly: "The hot water will be ready soon."

She truly hadn't expected Bai Jia Gege to be so well-prepared, nor had she expected that even so, the Fourth Prince wouldn't fall for her trap.

As expected, the stories of lovers falling in love after getting drunk in those picture books are all fake.

Li Chenjiao really didn't dare to provoke the Fourth Master. She even had to be helped by Su Peisheng to go to the Fourth Master's private room.

She was still in shock that the Fourth Master had finally come to the East Courtyard.

She was truly impressed by Fourth Master's drinking habits, especially after learning that he had also been given an aphrodisiac.

However, since the Fourth Prince was under the influence of the aphrodisiac incense, it was ultimately she who suffered.

Li Chenjiao couldn't straighten her back at night, and she cursed Bai Jiashi a thousand times in her heart.

No one knows what the Fourth Master was thinking when he came to the East Courtyard, but Li Chenjiao's mood was quite complicated before she fell asleep.

Even when drunk, Fourth Master's actions were not rough at all.

She was even gentler than usual.

But Li Chenjiao just wanted to sleep; she was too lazy to even move her fingers: "Master, hurry up—"

The Fourth Prince looked down and could only see the little princess's slightly parted lips. His eyes darkened, and he subconsciously leaned down.

For the first time in his life, the Fourth Master tasted a rare and delicious flavor.

Li Chenjiao's eyes widened again, then her eyelids drooped with exhaustion.

She's too tired to keep going, so let her kiss him; she won't lose out.
