Li Xiuzhu looked at the Crown Princess pouring the wine and glanced at her curiously.
Looking at the Crown Princess' gentle and noble appearance, Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel a liking for her.
But he didn't look at her for long. After all, she was the prince's wife, and now he and the prince were heading for their honeymoon.
After pouring the wine, the Crown Princess also looked at Li Xiuzhu.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was handsome and elegant, which also made the Crown Princess feel somewhat favorable towards him.
Then he glanced at the prince and thought to himself that such a person should not like men like the prince.
Thinking of the prince's preferences, she felt a little self-pitying. She had thought that the prince's consort would have a glorious future.
But who would have known that the result would be being a widow.
"Xiuzhu, Rongyu, let's have a drink."
At this moment Li Xiuzhu was suddenly stunned.
"Brother, you don't drink?"
The prince smiled and said, "I am taking care of my body. The imperial physician made me some medicinal wine. I have to drink three cups a day."
“At the same time, don’t drink too much.”
"If you don't believe me, you can drink this medicinal wine with me. However, this medicinal wine was made by the imperial physician specifically for me. If anything happens to you after drinking it, I will not be responsible."
"Besides, your sister-in-law is with you here, so why are you afraid?"
Li Xiuzhu smiled.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Since it is inconvenient for you, just drink some medicinal wine."
The prince was right. The princess also drank it. Would he dare to poison two people at the same time? If he dared, then he would be ruined. No one wanted such a vicious person to sit on the throne.
Moreover, he possessed extraordinary internal strength, so he could use it to wrap up the wine first, wait and see the Crown Princess's reaction before deciding whether to absorb it.
The three of them clinked their glasses and Li Xiuzhu was the first to drink it all.
The cup is not big, and it only holds half a liang of wine. In addition, the alcohol content of wines of this era is generally not high, except for Shaodaozi.
Drink one, and it's like drinking a can of RIO.
"Come, have some food first. I asked a chef from the Western Region to make this roasted lamb. It tastes authentic and is a rare delicacy."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiuzhu took a piece and tasted it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a mixture of cumin and salt flavors. It was indeed delicious.
It’s a pity that there is no chili. If there was some chili powder, wouldn’t that be yyds?
He did find the peppers that Su Chengcheng had gotten before, but there was only one pepper and it was not fully ripe yet.
"Here, let's have the second cup. Let's wipe out all the past grudges."
Now that this has been explained, shouldn't we drink to it? "Come and try this abalone. It was sent to the capital in a rush, eight hundred miles away. It was still alive before it was cooked."
Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment. Eating seafood in Beijing must be a high-tech thing... No, it just came out of nowhere. This must be a wealthy tycoon.
The abalone is stewed because it is impossible to make the classic braised taste without soy sauce.
However, the stewed abalone in the villa is also very good.
Not only does the soup taste like the sea, but it also has a crunchy texture and a pretty good taste.
"Brother, this abalone is really rare. You should try it too."
The prince waved his hand.
"Forget it, I still prefer this sheep whip."
"It's a pity that I can't give you this one."
Li Xiuzhu was suddenly embarrassed and said, "Please, I don't want to eat it, okay?"
"Ahem, abalone is good. I like the taste of the sea."
"Okay, then you should eat more abalone."
After three glasses of wine, everyone relaxed.
Because the Crown Princess was present, Li Xiuzhu did not discuss the plan with the Crown Prince, but Li Xiuzhu was also quite confused.
He thought the prince wanted to cooperate, and it looked like he did. But why did you keep an irrelevant person with you? Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because she's your wife? Many big men were stabbed in the back by women.
Wait, Li Xiuzhu thought about this and suddenly thought of his wife. It seemed that he had not hidden much from them.
This, won't be stabbed in the back, right?
"What is your brother-in-law thinking?"
Li Xiuzhu came back to his senses after hearing this and said, "I was wondering why Big Brother invited me right after returning to the East Palace."
The prince was stunned when he heard this. Didn’t I say that?
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I didn’t say it.
He also roughly guessed why Li Xiuzhu asked this, after all, he was not stupid.
"It's like this, my father and mother told me to get along well with you, my brother-in-law."
"So brother-in-law, just drink without worry, nothing will go wrong."
Li Xiuzhu was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the answer. It seemed different from what he thought.
Isn’t that old bastard the Emperor planning to eliminate me?
And he knew clearly that the prince and I had a feud, how could he dare to do that, how could he be so assured? Did he have a backup plan?
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Or have I paralyzed him these days?
Li Xiuzhu was also thinking about the problem while drinking with the prince and his wife.
With this in mind, the control over alcohol is not so strict.
Immediately, a lot of wine leaked into the stomach.
However, Li Xiuzhu did not take it seriously. The Crown Princess had been drinking for a long time, and apart from her face being a little flushed and her eyes being a little blurry, there was nothing unusual.
Blushing and confusion are both consistent with being drunk.
At this time, Xiao Rongyu gradually began to feel uncomfortable. He looked at the two men with a dazed eyes, wishing they would bully him severely.
However, her only rationality and reserve made her endure it.
Plus, I had never experienced it before, so I was able to control myself for the time being.
"Your Highness, I am drunk and will go back to sleep first."
The prince glanced at Xiao Rongyu and his lips curled up.
"Okay, go and rest."
As he spoke, the prince rang the bell, and soon a maid came in and helped the Crown Princess Xiao Rongyu out.
Xiao Rongyu had double vision at this time, so she naturally didn't realize that the maid who helped her was not her personal maid.
The prince looked at Li Xiuzhu again and felt admiration in his heart.
It's strange that he's still sober after drinking so much! But don't worry, there's still some wine, let's see how long he can last.
"Come, brother-in-law, I wish you good fortune and many beautiful women in the future."
When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he thought, this is great, as they are all what he likes.
"Presenting the auspicious words to the prince!"
After drinking more than thirty glasses of wine and eating five kinds of dishes, Li Xiuzhu was also drunk too much, and his whole body was filled with the smell of alcohol and heat.
The prince looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "It's not convenient for my brother-in-law to go back like this. Why don't we go to the side hall and have a rest?"
"I will send you back tomorrow, brother-in-law."
At this time, Li Xiuzhu was already dizzy, but what made him even more uncomfortable was the rising heat.
Li Xiuzhu ripped off his clothes and whispered, "Woman, give me a woman."
The prince smiled and said softly, "Don't worry, I will arrange it for you, my brother-in-law."
"Go back to the house first."
Li Xiuzhu seemed to have heard the words "arrangements" and "return to the house". He was dazed and tried to hold his nerve to endure it.
The prince, followed by two maids, personally took Li Xiuzhu into the side hall and then locked the door.
"Remember, don't let anyone in, otherwise your lives will be in danger."
The two maids guarding the door immediately bowed.
"Don't worry, Prince. We won't let anyone get close to this house."
