Chapter 44 Cowardly?
"Third brother, you can't drink anymore."
Chu Cong looked at the cups of wine being toasted to him, and looked at the blushing face and the dazed eyes of Prince Heng Chu Lian, which were also stained with drunkenness.
"Does the second brother look down on his younger brother?"
Chu Lian said with a stern face, holding up his wine glass, "Today is Second Brother's birthday, and we agreed not to go home until we're drunk!"
"drink."
Chu Lian drank it all in one gulp, took the wine jar and poured more wine for Chu Cong.
The Fourth Prince drank his milk tea, looking at Chu Lian with his big eyes, and said, "Third brother, your face is so red, are you drunk?"
“Pah.”
Chu Lian slapped the hat on his head and said, "What do you know, little kid? If you don't blush after drinking, then you've drunk it in vain."
"Brother, come and drink."
Chu Lian drank one glass after another. Unfortunately, his second brother ran away at his youngest son’s full moon party last time. Today, he must make him drunk and make a fool of himself!
With the intention of getting more wine, Chu Lian drank even more vigorously, and finally...
"I, I'm not drunk."
Chu Lian lay on the table, so drunk that he couldn't even tell where the cup was.
"Third brother, I'll take you to the side room to rest." Chu Cong ordered, "Qingwu, clean up the side room and let Prince Heng rest."
"Brother, who said I was drunk? I'm not going to rest, I'm going rafting."
Chu Lian said, stumbling, "I heard the koi in Second Brother's house are beautiful. I want to go see them."
As he said that, he staggered to Qixia Lake to see the koi, and Chu Cong had no choice but to follow him.
"Fourth brother." Chu Cong turned around. The Fourth Prince filled a kettle with milk tea and followed him on his short legs. "Brother, you want to see the koi too."
The cold wind blew, and Chu Lian's drunkenness dissipated a little. His stomach was churning. As soon as he reached the rockery, Chu Lian couldn't bear it anymore. He lay directly on the railing by the lake and vomited violently.
"Quick, get the hangover soup."
Chu Cong instructed Qing Wu and reminded the Fourth Prince, who was looking for koi by the lake, "Fourth brother, be careful and stay away from the lake."
"Yes." The fourth prince said solemnly while trying hard to find the Qiu Cui Koi.
Chu Cong ordered someone to get some sobering soup, and when he turned around, he heard a slap.
"Can't you see that my clothes are dirty? Don't you know to change them?" Chu Lian's scolding voice sounded.
Xifu, who was beaten, held the cloak that Chu Lian took off and said, "Yes, yes, I'll change it right away." Xifu held the cloak and went to the carriage to get clean clothes.
"Your Highness, please have some sobering soup." Xigui served him.
Just then, a maid brought sobering soup. Chu Lian, who had just vomited, was leaning against the rockery. Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance and saw a beauty with his drunken eyes.
"Hey, beauty, come here, I will love you."
Chu Lian reached out and grabbed the maid into his arms.
With a bang, the hangover soup fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, I am a maid in the Lin Palace." The maid was startled and looked frightened, which made Chu Lian even happier. He pulled the maid into his arms and kissed her: "This prince will take you as his concubine, so you will follow me."
After he finished speaking, Chu Lian got started directly.
The maid struggled desperately and said, "I am from Prince Lin's Mansion. If the prince knew, he..."
"What is there to be afraid of if Prince Lin finds out? Second brother is as timid as a mouse, even..."
Chu Lian was drunk, and his breath filled with alcohol sprayed on the maid's face. He whispered, "I am not like the second brother." Even the prince didn't dare to accept it.
Chu Lian's words were so unclear that even the maidservant who was standing nearby couldn't hear clearly. He leaned over and approached the maidservant: "Follow me, and I will guarantee you a prosperous and glorious future."
Chu Cong and the Fourth Prince heard the noise of the teacup being smashed and were about to come over to help, but when they heard these words, the shock in Chu Cong's eyes could hardly be hidden.
The other side of the rockery leads to the backyard. Coincidentally, Shen Lingshu was admiring the koi with Concubine Gao and Xiao Yiyi. When they saw Prince Heng coming, Concubine Gao immediately went towards him.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, when she saw a maid coming to bring sobering soup from afar, Concubine Gao thought something was wrong. She quickened her pace and saw that Prince Heng's old illness had come back!
When he drank a little too much, he liked to favor the maids and even said some bold words. Concubine Gao didn't care about her manners and walked as fast as a horse. When she heard Chu Lian say that Prince Lin was as timid as a mouse, Concubine Gao's heart jumped out of her chest.
Fearing that Prince Heng would say something he shouldn't, Concubine Gao ran over screaming. When she saw the maid in his arms, her rage soared.
"The prince is drunk."
Concubine Gao came over and pulled the maid away from his arms. She picked up the cup of hangover tea and poured it on Prince Heng's face.
Prince Heng, who was in high spirits, was completely chilled by the tea, and his drunkenness mostly dissipated. When he looked at Concubine Gao, Prince Heng was full of anger: "Gao Xianxian, am I doting on you too much?"
"Your Highness." Concubine Gao supported Prince Heng and whispered back what he had just said. She said, "Your Highness should quickly think of how to apologize."
Concubine Gao's heart was still pounding at this moment. Before leaving, she said, "The prince must not get drunk, otherwise we're doomed."
If Concubine Shu knew...
Concubine Gao was in tears. Now she finally understood why Princess Heng never went out for social activities, and why Princess Heng always told her to let the prince drink less.
"Third brother, am I as timid as a mouse?"
Chu Cong looked at him with a cold gaze. He originally just wanted to make him lose his composure, but unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain?
Prince Heng's eyes rolled, and he sat down on the ground, crying and saying, "Second brother, I'm the coward. You must have heard it wrong."
"I just drank too much. Second brother will definitely not be angry with me, right?" Prince Heng was completely sober now. If his father knew about it, he would definitely get scolded again.
"Second brother, did you get me drunk on purpose to make fun of me?"
Prince Heng looked at Chu Cong with resentment. His second brother must be plotting against him!
"Third brother, it was you who dragged second brother to drink. Second brother said he didn't want to drink, but you insisted on drinking."
The Fourth Prince said crisply, "Third brother, you have no shame. You are such a grown man, yet you still sit on the ground."
"Then, why did you let me come to the lake instead of sending me to rest, second brother?" King Heng wanted to struggle. Anyway, it was definitely not his fault. It was not because he had a bad drinking habit.
"Third brother, you insisted on coming to the lake to see the koi, have you forgotten?" The Fourth Prince's crisp words were like a knife stabbing into his chest.
Prince Heng glared at him fiercely.
The fourth prince hid behind Chu Cong in fear: "Second brother, is third brother going to eat children?"
“…”
King Heng was so angry that his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The imperial palace.
"Did the Third Brother really say that?"
When the emperor heard the news reported by the secret guard, he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
Should we say the third child is stupid, or that the second child plotted against the third child?
