Chapter 111: Xu Nianlie is drunk and worried, while Luo Jinan expresses his feelings
Luo Jinan said nothing more and took Xu Nian out of Danhuaiyuan.
The two of them strolled in the corridor and no one spoke for a while. This was the first time that Xu Nian faced the pressure of power. It turned out that in the face of absolute power, human life was really just a matter of words.
Xu Nian lowered her head and thought seriously, and did not realize that this road was not the way back to the Yarrow Courtyard. It was not until Luo Jinan stopped that Xu Nian looked up and realized that Luo Jinan had actually taken her to the greenhouse of the palace.
The colored glass of the greenhouse glowed brightly and beautifully under the illumination of the four-cornered palace lanterns. Luo Jinan took Xu Nian's hand and walked into the greenhouse.
The peonies of various colors were in full bloom in the greenhouse. Luo Jinan took Xu Nian to an open space, spread his cloak on the ground, and pulled Xu Nian to sit down.
Xu Nian was about to ask why they came here, but then he saw Luo Jinan take out a wine pot and a wine glass like a magic trick.
"I just stopped by Danhuaiyuan. Do you want to try it?"
Xu Nian looked at Luo Jinan, who had a bright smile, and nodded slightly.
Luo Jinan didn't dare let Xu Nian drink more, so he only poured a small half cup and passed it to him.
"Just take a sip. This wine is quite strong."
Xu Nian took it without much concern and drank it all in one gulp. Maybe it was because she was drunk too much, but her eyes were red. She took the wine pot from Luo Jinan's hand and poured herself another glass, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Jin'an touched the red corners of Xu Nian's eyes and asked softly, "Is Nian Nian scared? Or does she hate me like this?"
Xu Nian shook her head gently when she heard this. Do you hate it? For Luo Jin'an, this is a right he has since birth, and it is also a means for him to conquer others. Xu Nian is sad because she thought she had integrated into this era, but now she finds that she is still so out of place.
Xu Nian poured another glass, but Luo Jinan's hand was on the glass with a frown on his face.
"Nian Nian, drinking too much is harmful to your health."
Xu Nian put down his wine glass and looked at the peony in front of him quietly, saying leisurely: "This flower is blooming so beautifully. The gardener must have spent a lot of time and effort on it."
"If Nian Nian likes it, I'll have someone build a small greenhouse in your Qingteng Courtyard?"
Luo Jinan waited for a long time, but Xu Nian didn't reply. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Xu Nian shook his head, then nodded, "I don't want Peony, I have to go back to my Qingteng Courtyard."
Luo Jinan laughed and said, "It's Yicaoyuan, not Qingtengyuan. Your Qingtengyuan is in Wansheng County."
Unexpectedly, Xu Nian, who had been quiet at first, stood up shakily, "Nonsense, the Yarrow Courtyard belongs to that childish guy, I don't want to go back, I'll tell you in secret", Xu Nian looked around and whispered, "That childish guy always takes advantage of me, don't think I don't know, hum~"
Luo Jinan laughed dumbly at the flushed Xu Nian. He was still drinking with such a low alcohol tolerance. He said dotingly, "Then I will teach that childish guy a lesson for you next time. Let's see if he dares to take advantage of you again. Okay, I will carry you back to rest first, okay?"
Xu Nian pushed hard and pointed with her finger, "Hmph~ Don't think I don't know, you want to take advantage of me too", Luo Jinan had a headache. He originally wanted to bring Xu Nian here to change her mood. He never expected that this girl would become a different person after two glasses of wine.
Xu Nian staggered closer, trying hard to see the person in front of her clearly. Luo Jinan was afraid that she would fall but did not dare to touch her easily. He was so anxious that a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Xu Nian held Luo Jin'an's face with both hands and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are so handsome. I want to take advantage of you."
Luo Jinan looked at the pretty face that was enlarged in front of him, swallowed hard, and his ears turned red unconsciously.
Luo Jinan originally wanted to gently coax Xu Nian to go back and rest, but Xu Nian stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. Luo Jinan's eyes widened. At this moment, Luo Jinan felt as if the whole time and space had frozen at this moment, and the only sound around him was the violent heartbeat of his chest.
Xu Nian left Luo Jin'an's lips, smacking his lips with a hint of unsatisfied feeling, and muttered, "It's so soft, but I can't tell what it tastes like."
"Niannian," Luo Jinan's low voice sounded, causing Xu Nian to shrink his head unconsciously.
"Niannian, I love you and I can't let you go." Luo Jinan looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes seemed to be filled with fire. He gently lifted the girl's chin, looked into those watery eyes and gently leaned over.
Luo Jinan's lips gently touched Xu Nian's lips. At first, he was as cautious as a dragonfly touching the water, and then his affection grew stronger. He held Xu Nian's hand more tightly, and the kiss gradually deepened.
Xu Nian's body trembled slightly in Luo Jinan's arms, and her soft hands unconsciously climbed up Luo Jinan's shoulders.
Luo Jinan felt the change in himself and ruthlessly distanced himself from Xu Nian. Looking at Xu Nian, who had closed her eyes and collapsed in his arms, his eyes were full of doting.
He gently picked up Xu Nian and covered the girl's flushed face and slightly swollen lips with his cloak.
Luo Jinan didn't expect to meet Guo Yi on his way back.
Guo Yi took the food box from the maid and bowed to Luo Jin'an, "Thank you very much for your kind words today, Your Highness the Prince. This is the hangover soup I prepared for Sister Xu."
Mo Zhu took the food box with light steps and retreated to a nearby place.
Luo Jin'an turned aside to avoid Guo Yi's greeting and said calmly, "Today's words are a gift to the Crown Prince's Consort."
Guo Yi didn't understand what he meant, and Luo Jinan didn't want to explain either. After he finished speaking, he carried Xu Nian back to the Yicao Courtyard.
Yanfu and Yanrong looked at the young lady who was brought back by the prince and walked over to greet her with worry.
"Mozhu has some hangover soup, take it."
Yanfu followed instructions and brought the sobering soup. She tested the temperature and found it was just right.
After Luo Jinan put Xu Nian on the bed, he took the sobering soup and fed it to Xu Nian bit by bit. Fortunately, Xu Nian was very well behaved now, otherwise Luo Jinan would not know what to do.
It took several people more than half an hour to settle Xu Nian. Luo Jinan was worried about Xu Nian, so he repeatedly reminded Yan Fu and Yan Rong before leaving the Yicao Courtyard.
Mo Zhu was puzzled when he saw that the prince came out but stood there without leaving. However, he did not dare to say much because of his previous lesson.
Luo Jin'an found a place to sit against the wall and closed his eyes. Mo Zhu couldn't help but persuade him, "Your Highness, it's getting cold at night. I'll take you back to rest."
Luo Jin'an still closed his eyes and said calmly, "You don't have to stay with me. I will go back by myself later."
How could Mo Zhu leave? He found a place to sit down. Unexpectedly, he sat there for the whole night.
Xu Nian slept until dawn. When she opened her eyes, she was still a little dazed. It was not until fragments of memory came to her mind that she sat up with her legs crossed.
"It's over, it's over. I kissed Luo Jin'an, and it seemed... it seemed... it was a forceful kiss, ah..."
Xu Nian rolled over several times on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt. She was too embarrassed to go out today. Alas, what had she done? She was misled by alcohol and sex!
