Chapter 53 The Drunken Prince Heng is Disliked by Everyone

Seeing Jiang Fenghua standing gracefully at the door, Xie Shang reached out his hand to her and said in a deep voice, "Come here..."

"Ugh!" Before he could finish speaking, Xie Shang suddenly vomited violently. At this moment, his posture was extremely disheveled, and he had no dignity as a prince whatsoever.

Jiang Fenghua covered her mouth and nose, looking at the courtyard she had carefully arranged with heartache in her eyes.

Lin Feng felt somewhat apologetic. The prince had really lost face today. Why did he vomit?

Jiang Fenghua instructed the maid, "Prepare hot water for the prince to take a bath. Xu Mama, please go to the kitchen and cook a bowl of hangover soup."

Only after he vomited yellow fluid did Lin Feng and Steward Cheng work together to move Xie Shang into the side hall and place him in the bathtub.

In fact, Jiang Fenghua wanted Lin Feng to send him to Tingxue Pavilion.

Lin Feng helped Xie Shang remove his clothes, leaving him only in his underpants. He tentatively asked, "Shall I leave now?"

Jiang Fenghua frowned, wanting to say, "Please clean him up before you leave!"

But Lin Feng didn't give her a chance to speak. "This subordinate takes his leave," he said and ran off in a flash.

Hongxiu and Lianye looked at the prince, who was slumped in the tub like a lump of mud, and felt their foreheads were covered in black lines. Wasn't this just asking for trouble? Actually, they were also disgusted.

Jiang Fenghua glanced at them and said, "You two go wash him."

The two quickly waved their hands, saying, "Men and women should not touch each other. We are still virgins. If Your Highness is dressed like this, we are afraid that we will get eye sores from seeing things we shouldn't see."

Lin Feng, who was hiding outside the door, suddenly entered and pulled Hongxiu and Lianye away, saying, "They will get married in the future, so it's really not appropriate for them."

“You’re not here to serve your master…” Jiang Fenghua called out to him.

"Your Highness is the Princess's husband. How could I overstep my bounds? I'm not one to be so tactless. I won't disturb Your Highness and Princess's relationship development any further," Lin Feng said with an awkward smile.

Hongxiu and Lianye also feigned death, looking extremely embarrassed, and followed Lin Feng away. They were indeed quite embarrassed; they wanted to help their young lady, but the prince had already taken off his clothes, what if…

After walking quite a distance, they turned to Lin Feng and said, "Your Highness's alcohol tolerance is too low, how did you get so drunk?"

Lin Feng said, "His Highness isn't a good drinker to begin with, but today Young Master Jiang and His Highness hit it off immediately and insisted on drinking until they were both completely drunk, so..."

The two understood. "The eldest young master has an excellent alcohol tolerance. He once drank two jars of liquor without changing color. Your Highness is a true hero for daring to drink with the eldest young master."

"Really? Is Young Master Jiang that amazing?" Lin Feng asked.

The two maids nodded repeatedly, and Hongxiu asked in confusion, "On the day of the Prince and Princess's wedding, didn't the Prince drink quite a lot of wine? Why did he seem like nothing happened that night?"

Lin Feng then told the truth, "You don't know this, do you? Actually, the prince didn't drink much that night. He even faked it when toasting, using water instead of wine. The reason his clothes smelled of wine was because some wine was splashed on his clothes beforehand."

Hongxiu said, "No wonder when we were cleaning the prince's clothes that night, the robe looked like it had been soaked in a wine barrel. So that's why."

The other servants in the courtyard were busy cleaning and fetching water. Everyone was working quickly and efficiently, and in no time, the courtyard was cleaned up, and not a single servant was left behind.

Looking at Xie Shang's tightly closed eyes, Jiang Fenghua felt like crying but couldn't. Wasn't he quite a heavy drinker on their wedding night?

At this moment, Granny Xu also brought over some hangover soup, saying, "It's freshly made, let the prince cool it down a bit before drinking it."

Jiang Fenghua naturally wouldn't let Xu Mama help him wash, after all, he was another man, and Xu Mama still had a husband.

She said, "Just leave it there. I'll feed him later. Thank you for your hard work, Granny Xu. You should go and rest!"

Jiang Fenghua closed the door, intending to turn around and go back to bed to continue sleeping. She was too lazy to care about him; he came back in the middle of the night, drunk like this, clearly not wanting anyone to get a good night's sleep.

Seeing Xie Shang soaking in the water, his arms and upper body bare, she suddenly felt a pang of pity. Even if a cat or dog fell into the water, she would still have to save it. Besides, he was so drunk, what if he slipped into the water and drowned? Wouldn't her dream of becoming empress be ruined?

She thought that even though it was already the height of summer, sleeping like that at night would easily make her catch a cold, even if she didn't drown.

She reluctantly took the hangover soup and headed towards the side hall.

"Your Highness, wake up." She whispered in his ear.

Xie Shang seemed to be asleep, making no sound at all. Apart from his poor alcohol tolerance, he was quite well-behaved when drunk, at least he didn't make a big fuss.

She took a spoon, scooped up some hangover soup, and slowly fed it to him. "Drink some, or you'll feel awful when you wake up tomorrow morning."

Xie Shang remained motionless, breathing evenly, sleeping soundly, as if he were extremely exhausted. Jiang Fenghua patiently fed him a little, but it spilled all over his mouth, so she gave up and fed him again. He had just vomited in the yard, so there shouldn't be any more alcohol in his stomach.

Jiang Fenghua naturally couldn't move him. His chest muscles were clearly defined, like a perfect work of art, which made her reach out and touch them.

The moment Jiang Fenghua's fingertips touched it, she trembled and quickly withdrew them, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't look at what you shouldn't see..."

She closed her eyes, grabbed a handkerchief, and casually wiped him down, wanting to finish washing him as quickly as possible. Her movements were gentle and slow, wiping back and forth on one spot on his chest.

Suddenly, Xie Shang opened his eyes and saw Jiang Fenghua's eyes, nose, and mouth all crammed together. She was afraid that if she didn't close her eyes tightly, she would see something she shouldn't. Her nose was like a rabbit's, which was extremely cute.

He glanced down at her hand and saw that she was doing something futile. He smiled helplessly, then suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathtub.

Before Jiang Fenghua could react, she was caught off guard, water splashed everywhere, and she lost her balance and crashed directly into his chest.

"Your Highness, you're awake." She exclaimed in surprise, her whole body soaked. The thought of the smell of alcohol on him in the water made her frown with some disgust.

Xie Shang wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Seeing her hands resting on his chest, he unconsciously stared at his pectoral muscles. Thinking of how Lin Feng used to drool over his physique, he suddenly felt confident and pressed her tightly against his chest.

Jiang Fenghua twisted her waist, trying to avoid him, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

He smiled faintly, his voice low, "What do you want to do, moving around like this?"

Jiang Fenghua dared not move. "Your Highness is drunk, and I'm helping you take a bath," she answered truthfully, without looking at him.

"How can you wash with your eyes closed?" A hint of allure lurked in his eyes.

Jiang Fenghua didn't want to admit that she didn't want to wash, and said gently, "It's because Your Highness isn't wearing any clothes, so you shouldn't look at what's improper."

"Who takes a bath dressed?" Xie Shang said, noticing that she wasn't looking at him. He leaned close to her ear and deliberately tempted her, "I remember the last time we consummated our marriage, the lights weren't turned off. Your Highness saw everything, didn't you?"

Jiang Fenghua blushed instantly, her cheeks turning as red as persimmons, the color extending all the way to her neck, her charming eyes exuding a seductive charm.

He said gently, "Help me take a bath."

"Now that Your Highness is sober, please wash yourself..."

"Wouldn't the princess be willing to serve her own husband?" Xie Shang asked.

Jiang Fenghua really wanted to curse him in her heart: "You dog of a man, do you not have hands or feet? Are you injured or crippled? Why should I serve you?"

Despite her rich inner world, she blushed shyly and grabbed her handkerchief.
