Chapter 169: Improper Behavior
"Drunk among flowers, dreaming of beauty." Jun Li followed closely behind, making the connection seamlessly.
"A beauty's smile is more beautiful than peach blossoms." Lu Linyi responded with ease.
…
After several rounds of drinking, the wine in front of Jiang Xue remained untouched, while Xiao Yan and Jun Li had already finished their two large pots of liquor.
Xiao Yan really didn't expect that Lu Linyi, the daughter of a military general, would be so talented in poetry and literature.
Due to a moment of carelessness, he was defeated by the woman.
"Your Highness Prince Duan, it's your turn."
Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Yan who was in trouble again, suppressed her smile and lowered her head to remind him.
Xiao Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't remember how much he had drunk. The alcohol was so strong that three Jiang Xues were swaying in front of him!
After I drank the last bowl of coffee, my stomach felt like it was on fire.
My temper started to rise.
Jun Li, who was standing by, was also drunk and his temples were throbbing.
He tried to concentrate and observe Xiao Yan, only to see him suddenly stand up and walk straight towards Lu Linyi!
That look was terrifying! It seemed as if it was about to eat Lu Linyi alive!
"Your Highness!" The cabin door was wide open at this time! People outside could clearly see what was going on inside!
If Xiao Yan was disrespectful to Lu Linyi in front of everyone, the vote from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion would be completely lost!
Jun Li hurriedly stood up and staggered to stop Xiao Yan, but unfortunately he was a beat too late!
Xiao Yan pounced on Lu Linyi like a hungry wolf!
Fortunately, Jiang Xue was smart and pulled Lu Linyi over, and the two of them narrowly escaped!
"Your Highness Prince Duan, please behave yourself!"
Xiao Yan was very drunk, his ears were buzzing, making his already anxious heart even more restless.
Today's boat trip on the lake was originally a plan to help him win Lu Linyi's heart, but Jiang Xue not only ruined the plan, but also lost herself!
Xiao Yan never thought that he would fall into Jiang Xue's hands! This woman is indeed a princess of the Qian Kingdom with both talent and beauty!
Now you have the nerve to plot against him!
His rationality seemed to be blown away bit by bit by the lake breeze, and at this moment, Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with possessiveness for the two beauties in front of him!
Xiao Zhan at the bridge head frowned, looking into the cabin with sharp eyes, "Fourth Brother, Third Brother doesn't look right."
Xiao Yun also observed carefully, his expression gradually darkening. Xiao Yan looked like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey!
Jiang Xue glanced at the crowd of onlookers, then looked at the out-of-control Xiao Yan, and laughed in her heart, "Your Highness Prince Duan, you are not the only one who is proficient in the art of using medicine."
She happened to add some special perfume powder when the maid poured wine for Xiao Yan. The perfume powder can cause hallucinations, and people will feel dizzy and drunk after smelling it. In addition, she poured him so much strong liquor that he would only think that he was drunk and lost his composure afterwards.
"It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Duan is very drunk. I'm afraid he can't go boating on the lake today. Then Miss Linyi and I will take our leave first. You should take good care of His Royal Highness."
After saying that, Jiang Xue pulled Lu Linyi and tried to leave the ship. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked out of the cabin door, a figure rushed over and blocked their way - it was the unconscious Xiao Yan!
"Changle!" Xiao Yan pounced on the two of them without standing firmly, scaring Lu Linyi so much that she screamed, slipped, and almost fell into the lake!
Jiang Xue reacted quickly, grabbed Lu Linyi, spun around, and almost fell into the water!
At this critical moment, Xiaochun jumped out from under the boat to save Jiang Xue, but was restrained by Xiao Yan who was about to catch Lu Linyi, and was unable to split himself!
"Fourth brother, we..." Xiao Yun hadn't finished his words yet, and before he could utter the word "save people", he felt a gust of wind passing by his ears. When he looked again, Xiao Zhan had already flown out!
Jiang Xue closed her eyes and waited for the intimate contact with the lake water, but she didn't wait for the expected coolness. When she opened her eyes, she ran into Xiao Zhan's dark eyes, and she clearly found herself in the depth.
"Princess Changle, we are really destined to be with this water." The deep voice was a bit teasing, and the warm breath brushed against her ears. The pair of powerful hands at her waist pulled Jiang Xue into her arms, spun her around, and landed her steadily on the deck.
"Your Highness Prince Gong!" The servants on the boat knelt down and saluted respectfully to Xiao Zhan.
Seeing Jiang Xue fall to the ground, Xiao Yan lost his composure and wanted to rush forward, but was hit on the shoulder and neck by Xiao Zhan's fan handle, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Third brother is drunk, take good care of him." Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yan who was unconscious on the ground. A gloomy look flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to his usual warm smile.
"Your Highness..." Jun Li came over and bowed to Xiao Zhan. Jun Li knew that Xiao Zhan was not a simple person, so he did not dare to relax when facing him.
"Brother Jun Li, you've drunk too much. Go have a cup of sobering tea and take a rest. Don't lose your composure and make a fool of yourself." The implication of his words was self-evident.
Jun Li was stunned. In his memory, Xiao Zhan never said anything to Xiao Yan. He always had that indifferent smile on his face, as if it had nothing to do with him. Even if he criticized him implicitly, he had never done so. But today he openly pointed it out. Was it because of Jiang Xue?
He raised his eyes and noticed the hand on Jiang Xue's waist, and an inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He straightened his back, agreed to Xiao Zhan, then helped Xiao Yan up and walked into the cabin.
"My third brother is too drunk to escort the beauty away, so I will do it for you. Princess Changle, Miss Linyi, please."
Xiao Zhan loosened his embrace, gracefully stepped aside to make way, and invited the two to go first with great grace and elegance.
Lu Linyi was frightened by Xiao Yan's behavior and became more wary of men, including Xiao Zhan.
Jiang Xue saw her uneasiness, gave her a comforting smile, held her hand tightly and said, "Your Highness Prince Gong is an upright person, cousin, don't worry."
After finishing her words, Jiang Xue politely bowed to Xiao Zhan and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Gong."
Considering that Lu Linyi was frightened, Xiao Zhan specially arranged a carriage, and the driver was Xiao Yun.
"Hush, Fourth Brother." Xiao Yun called out softly, jumped off the carriage, and smiled at Jiang Xue like the sun: "Sister Changle." When he turned around, his expression was slightly restrained, and he greeted Lu Linyi politely: "Miss Linyi."
"Your Highness Prince Gong." The two of them saluted together.
"Yumo, send Miss Linyi back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion first. I have something to discuss with Princess Changle alone."
Today, he planned to have a good chat with Jiang Xue alone.
"Changle..." Lu Linyi pulled Jiang Xue's sleeve with some concern. Although His Royal Highness Prince Gong looked more amiable than Prince An, people's hearts were hidden. What if he was just a gentleman on the surface? Then Changle...
Think of Prince An, who appears to be polite and courteous on the surface, but once he takes off his disguise, he becomes fierce and fierce, which makes Lu Linyi shiver all over. If Changle hadn't helped her just now, she would have been...
"Don't worry, cousin. I'll be fine." Seeing that Lu Linyi was still worried, Jiang Xue sighed softly and leaned close to her ear and said, "Xiaochun is very good at martial arts. If His Royal Highness Prince Gong does anything wrong, I will immediately ask her to send a letter to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news in the mansion. No matter what, remember to send me a message."
Lu Linyi cares very much about his cousin.
"I understand." Jiang Xue nodded with a smile and watched Lu Linyi drive away with Xiao Yun.
"Changle thanks His Highness again for rescuing me."
