"Can't you not drink it?"
“It’s all because of that bastard, the Regent, he…” Shen Zhiyi finished speaking, then realized she had misspoke, “The Regent personally poured the wine, so it was not appropriate to refuse.”
She was drunk and naturally didn't see that Xiao Zhongxuan's expression was slightly unnatural when she called him a bastard.
"Let me help you back to your room." Xiao Zhongxuan had just reached out to help her when Shen Zhiyi frowned and suddenly leaned closer, making him gasp.
Instinctively, I stepped back, but unexpectedly, my forearm was grabbed, and I couldn't dodge.

For her,
He can bow his head.
"Fermented wine...?" Shen Zhiyi frowned, sniffed again, and seemed not to smell any fermented wine. "Why can't I smell it?"
He was clearly rambling incoherently after drinking too much, his words were disjointed and rambling.
"Can't you smell it?" Xiao Zhongxuan looked at her with a smile. "Yiyi, would you like to try some?"
Kong Qing, hiding in the shadows, was almost speechless with astonishment.
How come the prince, who was known for his aversion to women, suddenly had an epiphany and started flirting with her?
