Chapter 153: How desperate can two toxic fans be for their CP
Prince Ruyang exclaimed that he was generous and started drinking too. The two of them drank one cup after another and played two rounds of drinking games. He Zhaojun looked only slightly tipsy, but Prince Ruyang was already unconscious and couldn't even lift the wine cup.
"Someone, come here, Prince Ruyang is drunk, send him back to the palace." Ling Buyi called the black-armored guards to help the man away. Finally, there were only four of them left in the room.
Shao Shang had a low alcohol tolerance and had passed out early on. Now he was lying on Ling Buyi's legs, snoring.
"Why did you get Prince Ruyang drunk?" Ling Buyi asked He Zhaojun. He didn't realize that He Zhaojun had such a good alcohol tolerance.
He Zhaojun thought for a moment and pulled out a small brocade box from her bosom: "This is the engagement gift from the Third Prince. I wish you and Shao Shang a smooth relationship."
Ling Buyi opened it and saw the key with the word "Chengyang" written on it. He frowned and looked at Wen Ziduan: "This is..."
Wen Ziduan's anesthetic had worn off by then, and he began to feel waves of pain in his wound. He pressed it calmly, "I was worried that this old man would cause trouble at your engagement party, so I deliberately tried to trip him up."
Ling Buyi put away the key, his expression becoming serious. "Zisheng thanks you both very much. Ziduan destroyed the Chengyang Marquis's armory for me, and Zhaojun helped me invite three palace elders to take charge of the situation and protect Shaoshang... I have no way to repay you for your kindness."
He Zhaojun waved her hand and said, "No need. Just report everything to him and put the blame on him."
At this point, He Zhaojun began to pretend to be drunk: "I seem to have drunk a little too much. Now the alcohol is taking effect and I feel dizzy. I'll say goodbye first." As she spoke, she and Wen Ziduan supported each other and walked unsteadily.
After finally getting on the carriage, Wen Ziduan didn't let go, and gently touched He Zhaojun's cheek with his fingertips: "Are you really drunk? Very good, protect me from the drunk, it's good to be drunk."
He Zhaojun, who originally wanted to jump up with a somersault, could only lie down and pretend to be drunk, and she had to hum from time to time to show how drunk she was.
"Zisheng is engaged, should we also put our wedding on the agenda?" Wen Ziduan muttered in a low voice.
He Zhaojun felt that she must be really drunk, otherwise why would her face be so hot?
——
Wen Ziduan had an injury that had not yet healed, so he could only ride in a carriage and could not ride a horse. In order to cover up this, He Zhaojun had to ride with him to the palace every morning.
"I didn't expect that even though I was injured, I could sit with you. In the past, you would rather squeeze in the driving seat with Gu Guan, or ride a horse, than sit here." Wen Ziduan's tone was indifferent, but He Zhaojun didn't know why, but she heard a hint of jealousy in it.
He Zhaojun shook her head, suddenly remembering something: "The Queen's birthday banquet is coming soon. I wonder what kind of birthday gift have you prepared? It should be neither extravagant nor wasteful, but also original."
Wen Ziduan was about to speak, but then he remembered that He Zhaojun had the ability to predict the future, so he stopped talking: "Guess."
"I won't guess, because I already know." He Zhaojun smiled. "Is the iron ore feng shui map correct?"
This birthday gift was indeed mentioned in the original drama, but she had seen Wen Ziduan reading related books a long time ago, and the traveling merchants sent out by her also reported that someone was exploring for iron mines.
After He Zhaojun learned about this, she asked someone to pass on the method of making a more accurate and convenient feng shui map to Wen Ziduan's subordinates, so he was able to receive this birthday gift.
Wen Zi sat up straight and said, "You are really cheating. When I play Shefu[55] with you, I always lose."
He Zhaojun sighed in frustration, "It's just that this time, when you presented the feng shui map, it inevitably involved the Third Princess's private dealings with the mine. Ever since the last counterfeit currency incident, my grudge against her has been unresolved."
