Shen Wan could tell Xie Jingyan was drunk, so she asked, "How good is his alcohol tolerance?"
Chen Feng replied, "Last time, I drank ten jars of wine and wasn't drunk at all."
The last time was the night the prince misunderstood that the princess was using him as a cover to deceive the Marquis of Pingyang and his heir, so that she could marry the Prince of Jin.
That time, not only did I not get drunk, but I became more and more sober the more I drank.
It's only been two months, so my alcohol tolerance shouldn't have dropped to this level. Speaking of alcohol, the wine we drank that night was a royal gift, which was strong and made it easier to get drunk.
The imperial physician also found it strange that someone with a high alcohol tolerance would suddenly have a low tolerance, but he was certain that there was no poisoning.
The imperial physician inquired about Xie Jingyan's diet over the past month or two and finally guessed, "Your Highness's decreased alcohol tolerance may be related to the medicine you are taking to treat your leg ailment."
Chen Feng asked, "Can your alcohol tolerance be restored, sir?"
The imperial physician said, "If it is indeed caused by the medicine, it will recover after a period of time."
As long as Xie Jingyan is healthy, that's all that matters. As for his decreased alcohol tolerance, drinking too much alcohol is not good for his health, so it's fine if he doesn't drink at all.
Steward Zhou saw the imperial physician out of the mansion. Yinshuang brought water, and Shen Wan wrung out a handkerchief to wipe Xie Jingyan's face, neck, and hands. Then she helped him take off his brocade robe. However, when she was pulling on his belt, he grabbed her hand tightly. Shen Wan had to use force to pry it off.
It took a lot of effort to remove Xie Jingyan's brocade robe. Looking at the torn parts, Yinshuang said, "What a pity. The princess spent many days making this brocade robe, and it's torn like this..."
Shen Wan was also heartbroken. She had embroidered all ten of her fingers until they were numb. She said, "Let's throw it away."
Yinshuang asked, "Are we really going to throw it away? Should we ask the Prince for his opinion?"
Shen Wan asked, "They're all broken, can you still wear them?"
...That seems to be true.
If a maid's clothes are torn, it's okay to patch the inner garment if no one sees it, but the outer garment is definitely unwearable. Losing face for oneself is a small matter, but losing face for one's master is a much bigger deal.
A prince of such high status, how could he wear patched clothes? It's impossible. But this brocade robe can be disassembled and used to make something else; it would be such a waste to just throw it away.
Yinshuang was about to leave with the brocade robe in her arms when Xie Jingyan suddenly spoke up as she turned around, "Don't throw it away, I need to wear it again tomorrow."
Shen Wan, "..."
Silver Frost, "..."
It's so tattered, how can I wear it?
Yinshuang smiled and said, "The prince can't bear to throw away the clothes made by the princess."
Yinshuang handed the brocade robe back to Shen Wan. Seeing Yinshuang's sly smile, Shen Wan wanted to call someone in to drag Yinshuang away and give her twenty lashes. She'd really grown up; she even dared to tease her, her mistress.
But Xie Jingyan said not to throw it away, so Shen Wan really didn't dare to. She was afraid that Xie Jingyan would come after her when he woke up drunk. Besides, she couldn't bear to throw it away. But she didn't dare to take Xie Jingyan's words to heart. He dared to wear a tattered brocade robe to a wedding banquet. Who knows, he might actually dare to wear it out tomorrow.
Xie Jingyan dares, but she doesn't.
She stared at the brocade robe for a long time, then instructed Yinshuang, "Bring the embroidery basket over."
Yinshuang brought out the embroidery basket, and Chenwan used the embroidery hoop to fix the damaged parts, picked out the silk thread, split the thread, and embroidered the damaged parts with patterns.
Xie Jingyan was so drunk he was unconscious. Shen Wan sat by the bed and embroidered. Yin Shuang exclaimed in amazement, "Your Highness is so clever. With this kind of embroidery, you can't see any signs of damage."
It would look strange if the pattern was embroidered on the sleeve of only one sleeve, so Shen Wan could only embroider the other sleeve, which was fine, as well.
The embroidery continued until dusk.
Xie Jingyan got completely drunk and didn't wake up even when it was time for dinner. Shen Wan hesitated whether to wake him up. Xie Jingyan propped himself up on the bed and said, "Pour me a cup of tea."
Shen Wan quickly brought over some tea, but when she fed it to Xie Jingyan, he refused to drink it. Instead, he stared at Shen Wan with his doe-like eyes and said, "You feed me."
Isn't this just feeding them?
Thinking of how Xie Jingyan fed her during her bath that day, Shen Wan's face flushed red.
Even when he was drunk, this bastard still tried to seduce her. Chen Wan pushed him away in anger, and the drunk Xie Jingyan, caught off guard, fell backward.
Clang.
He hit the back of his head on the bed.
The sound was so loud that even Silver Frost felt a chill run down the back of her head.
Shen Wan was also startled. She quickly put down the teacup and helped Xie Jingyan up. Fortunately, Xie Jingyan was too drunk to cause trouble for Shen Wan after hitting the back of his head. Shen Wan fed him tea, which he drank obediently and then went back to sleep.
Xie Jingyan didn't eat dinner, but Shen Wan ate a little something. After finishing the embroidery on the other sleeve that night, she washed up a bit and went to bed in the inner room.
When I woke up, it was already the next day.
She had slept well, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Jingyan sitting on the bed, looking at her with a complicated expression.
Shen Wan sat up and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xie Jingyan asked, "Did you hit me last night?"
Shen Wan shook her head. "No."
Even if she had a few times the courage, she wouldn't dare hit him.
"Then why does the back of my head hurt so much?" He touched the back of his head, and the pain made his head throb.
"..."
Shen Wan felt a little guilty, but not much. She said, "You got drunk at the Prince of Jin's residence yesterday. You got up to drink tea, then fell asleep immediately and bumped the back of your head..."
Before Shen Wan could finish speaking, Xie Jingyan pulled her into his arms and said, "You swore yesterday that you wouldn't lie to me, and you've already forgotten?"
Shen Wan, "..."
Shen Wan remained silent.
She had indeed completely forgotten about the oath she made yesterday, but didn't he not make her make an oath?
Shen Wan wanted to confess that he had hit the back of his head, but Xie Jingyan said, "You didn't even bother to find out how good my alcohol tolerance is before you lied to me."
...So this is what he meant by lying to him.
Shen Wan immediately became self-righteous, "It wasn't me who said you were drunk, it was the imperial physician who said so. If you don't believe me, ask Chen Feng."
When Shen Wan spoke, Xie Jingyan looked into her eyes and couldn't tell that she was lying. Moreover, Chen Feng exposed the lie as soon as he asked her.
A few fragments flashed through his still somewhat dizzy mind, one of which was vomiting next to the stone lion, making his brows furrow into a knot.
Could it be that he really got drunk at the Prince of Jin's residence yesterday?
That's impossible.
Although he rarely drank, he knew his own capacity for alcohol. Yesterday, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince felt apologetic for not coming to the Ling Prince's Mansion to celebrate his and Shen Wan's wedding, so they took the opportunity of the Jin Prince's Mansion's wedding banquet to toast him. They kept wishing him and Shen Wan a son soon and a long and happy life together, so he couldn't refuse and ended up drinking more than he should.
But with only two jars of wine, he couldn't possibly get drunk.
Shen Wan said, "The imperial physician said your alcohol tolerance has decreased, which may be caused by the medicine you took to detoxify your leg."
Xie Jingyan tentatively accepted this explanation.
