Chapter 202: Crazy
The prince took a glass of wine from the tray held by the palace maid and handed it to Qi Shuo: "My brother, come, let's have a drink. I haven't congratulated you on your engagement yet."
Qi Shuo took it with a subtle smile on his lips: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The words used in toasting are a bit old-fashioned.
The two wine glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.
The prince held the cup in one hand and blocked it with the other hand as he drank slowly, staring at Qi Shuo's movements without blinking.
Qi Shuo drank it all in one gulp and let the bottom of the cup dry towards the prince.
The prince laughed and said, "My brother has a good alcohol tolerance."
Qi Shuo casually picked up a glass of wine from the tray held by the palace maid and handed it over: "I also offer a glass to Your Highness. I wish Your Highness good health and everything goes well."
The prince achieved his goal and drank happily.
"I'll go over there, my prince, please do as you please."
Qi Shuo watched the prince leave briskly and silently put the empty wine glass back on the tray held by the palace maid.
The palace maid quickly removed the empty wine glasses and replaced them with full ones.
Amid the sound of gongs and drums, the dragon boat sailed towards the center of the lake, and the atmosphere on the boat became more and more lively.
The prince drank a round of wine and walked to Emperor Tai'an.
Emperor Tai'an saw his face flushed and frowned, reminding him: "Drink less."
"No, my son, I didn't drink much." The prince was tongue-tied and thought to himself that he was unlucky.
How did you get here, father?
The cold expression on Emperor Tai'an's face sobered him up a bit, and he quickly raised his glass: "Father, I have made you quite angry these days. It's all my fault. Please don't take it to heart."
Emperor Tai'an listened to this and his expression brightened considerably. "I'm glad you think so. From now on, you should act in a methodical manner and not just do whatever you want."
Considering the occasion, Emperor Tai'an did not say much.
"My son knows."
"Go ahead."
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Jing, who were standing not far away, looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds: The emperor really has no temper with the prince.
Concubine Jing's eyes searched the crowd and fixed on King Wei.
The King of Wei was chatting with Prince Yu Liu. I don't know what they were talking about, but they both raised their glasses and laughed.
Concubine Jing's calm gaze caused gentle ripples.
The prince caught a glimpse of this scene and suddenly became furious.
The anger came so suddenly that he couldn't suppress it, and it made him irritable.
He is the crown prince. Who is the fourth prince? How could he have such a smooth chat with Prince Yu Liu?
The prince strode over and spoke passionately, "Fourth brother, Prince, what are you talking about?"
What the prince didn't know was that at this moment, his forehead was sweating, his cheeks were red, and he looked like he was drunk.
"We are talking about the customs and people of Yu Liu." The King of Wei did not want to cause big trouble for the Crown Prince, so his tone was very gentle.
"Oh, let me listen too." The prince also wanted to behave as gracefully as the King of Wei, but the heat swept through his body, making his expression a little ferocious.
Prince Yu Liu saw that the Crown Prince was drunk and was happy to see him make a fool of himself. He enthusiastically said, "I wonder what your Highness the Crown Prince is interested in us, Yu Liu?"
The Crown Prince caught a glimpse of the incomparably beautiful Princess Lingque and blurted out, "Do you Yuliu women give pairs to men you like when you see them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Prince Yu Liu's smile froze, and the people around him who were listening with their ears perked up were also stunned.
Is the prince crazy?
Although it feels a bit satisfying to embarrass Prince Yu Liu, the Emperor and the two Empresses are here. What if a fight breaks out?
The King of Wei turned on his toes and wanted to leave.
"Of course I didn't just make a random couplet..." Prince Yu Liu calmed down and considered the appropriate words.
The prince once again surprised everyone by saying, "Didn't your sister give Yang Zhe a couplet the moment she saw him?"
What is the saying that you get lotus roots from lotus, and you don’t need plums when you have apricots? If he were to ask, he would be able to figure it out.
It's always like this: the woman he's interested in can't be obtained no matter how hard he tries, and she easily falls into the hands of someone else.
What’s the point of him being the crown prince!
Although Prince Yu Liu didn't want to make things awkward, he also frowned at this moment.
If he continues to respond with a smile, these people from the Great Zhou will look down on Yu Liu.
"Your Highness, according to our Yu Liu customs, it is not appropriate to discuss a woman who is already engaged in public."
"Yu Liu women can look for men in public, but they can't say it in public. Your rules are quite strange." The prince's head was swollen and he could no longer control his tongue.
The eavesdroppers said: "..." The prince is so bold!
"Brother Prince, is he the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou?" Princess Lingque stepped forward, her beautiful eyes fixed on the Crown Prince.
Prince Yu Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Mei is a young girl and is willing to take risks, so it’s better for her to come forward than for him to do so.
"Didn't you see the welcoming banquet that day?" the prince said.
"I don't remember." Princess Lingque opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly, looking simple and innocent. "So the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou is like this..."
She stretched out her voice, and although there was no sarcasm in her tone, it made everyone feel embarrassed.
The prince was completely unaware and tugged at his clothes due to the heat: "I remember now, you were hit on the head by a rock."
Everyone: "..." For a moment, they didn't know whether to feel ashamed for the Crown Prince or for Princess Yu Liu.
Princess Lingque could hardly maintain her expression.
I thought the Crown Prince of Da Zhou was a pervert, but I didn't expect him to be a pervert with a sharp tongue!
She bit her lip, covered her face and cried: "I knew I would be laughed at..."
Haha, what's a little girl with amnesia afraid of? If word gets to the Emperor of the Great Zhou, who will get scolded? Even the officials of the Great Zhou would be disappointed if they saw the Crown Prince teasing a woman.
Princess Lingque had a good plan, but she didn't know that the prince was under the influence of the Five-Colored Powder and his mind was completely out of control.
He felt like he was on fire and needed to do something to feel better.
"Why are you crying?" The prince felt so hot that he unconsciously took a step forward.
The King of Wei was worried that the situation would become too embarrassing, so he quickly grabbed the Crown Prince's arm and said, "Brother, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you lie down."
"Let go!" When the Prince was touched by the King of Wei, it was like oil splashing into a gunpowder barrel, and he completely exploded.
The King of Wei was also shocked.
Could it be that the prince was going to touch Princess Lingque in public?
Thinking of this, he stood firmly between the two of them, not daring to let go.
"What's going on?" a deep voice came.
King Wei subconsciously turned his head: "Father——"
Emperor Tai'an's cold gaze passed over King Wei and fell on the Crown Prince.
Under normal circumstances, Emperor Tai'an's cold eyes would be enough to make the prince behave himself, but at this moment the prince could see nothing in his eyes but a ball of fire.
It’s hot, too hot!
He tugged at his collar, and a breeze blew in, bringing with it the coolness of the lake water.
The heat that was driving him crazy seemed to have found an outlet.
As everyone stared in amazement, the prince quickly took off his clothes and ran towards the boat.
This action was so shocking that for a moment everyone, including Emperor Tai'an, forgot to react.
Until there was a splash, and one of the eunuchs screamed at the top of his lungs: "Oh no! The prince has jumped into the lake!"
Then, there were screams one after another.
