Chapter 147 Drunk
——The next day——
The Sixth Prince's wife went to the Crown Prince's Mansion and paid a visit to the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess was still a little unhappy about the arrival of the Sixth Prince's wife. The reason was that day, at the Sixth Prince's birthday party, the Sixth Prince's wife lost her face for Pei Jinyu.
The Crown Princess had a cold face and asked the servants to serve some tea and cakes. She said with a slightly sour tone: "I wonder why the Sixth Prince's wife came to visit my lonely Crown Prince's Mansion today?"
After hearing this, the Sixth Prince's wife was not angry, but just smiled and said, "Crown Princess, you were indeed wronged by what happened that day, but I was helpless. That day, the Duke's wife and the young master of the Duke of Ying were both there, and I couldn't offend them. The Sixth Prince was also affected. I hope you can understand that I came here today to apologize to you."
As she spoke, she asked the maid standing beside her to hand over some gifts.
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess snorted coldly and said, "You still have some intention."
In fact, she also knew that she was a princess consort and felt very aggrieved because the prince was not valued and everyone thought that he would be deposed sooner or later, so few people really took her seriously. Especially compared with the Duke of Yingguo Mansion, which was now valued by the emperor, a normal person would choose to cling to the Duke of Yingguo Mansion.
"Crown Princess, I know you don't like Pei Jinyu and the others. In fact, I don't like her very much either. It's just that she has a noble status. First, she was pursued by the Third Prince, and then there were rumors about her and the King of Qin. Now even my husband, the Sixth Prince, has some thoughts of marrying her. If she were to marry into the royal family openly, I'm afraid it would be even more difficult for you and me to meet her in the future." When the Sixth Prince's wife saw that the Crown Princess' attitude had improved a little, she began to speak vaguely.
When the Crown Princess heard this, her face instantly became serious. It was not because Pei Jinyu was favored by the Sixth Prince, but because she thought that the Third Prince also wanted to marry Pei Jinyu.
She felt a little jealous. The position of the Third Prince's wife was finally vacant, so was it going to go to Pei Jinyu?
"Sixth Prince's Concubine, you came to me today because you want me to do something, right? What can I do to help you?" The Crown Princess quickly guessed that the Sixth Prince's Concubine said this because she must want her cooperation to deal with Pei Jinyu together, so she asked directly.
After hearing this, the Sixth Prince's wife was not embarrassed and directly said to the Crown Princess: "If Pei Jinyu is allowed to marry into the royal family in an ignominious way, her status will be greatly reduced. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince is extremely lustful. There are several concubines in the palace, all of whom were taken in because of his indecent behavior. The Emperor has turned a blind eye to his behavior. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accidentally sleeps with Pei Jinyu, I'm sure the Emperor would only reprimand him at most. Moreover, there are many concubines in the Crown Prince's palace. Even if Pei Jinyu comes in, she will only be a concubine. At that time, won't she have to listen to you, the legal wife?"
"You want me to arrange for the Crown Prince to ruin her?" The Crown Princess exclaimed in surprise when she heard this.
The Sixth Prince's Consort was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and wanted her to help her solve the problem. The Crown Princess understood instantly that if this matter was exposed, the Sixth Prince's Consort would not be affected at all, but she might even be implicated.
However, she was still somewhat moved. She felt that it was indeed as the Sixth Prince's wife said, the prince's reputation was not good to begin with, he had often bullied other women outside before, and the emperor was tolerant of him. If the prince accidentally touched Pei Jinyu, if the Duke of Ying's Mansion wanted to sue the prince, resulting in the prince being deposed, wouldn't this be exactly what the Third Prince wanted?
At worst, she could take the initiative to give up the position of Crown Princess to Pei Jinyu. Anyway, she didn't want to be the Crown Princess at all. She wanted to be the woman of the Third Prince. If the Crown Prince fell in the future, it would be a real hassle for her to hold the position of Crown Princess. If she gave this position to Pei Jinyu, wouldn't it be easy for her to get out of it?
Anyway, the Third Prince had almost done what the Crown Prince asked her to do, so there was not much point in her staying in the Crown Prince's Mansion. After much hesitation, the Crown Princess finally agreed. But this time she was not stupid, and did not ask Pei Jinyu to come to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Instead, she planned to send someone to follow her first, and then lead the Crown Prince over to create some accidents.
Now, Pei Jinyu didn't know that the Crown Princess was thinking about her again. She thought that she had agreed to the blind date with the Duke's wife, and she would go to see the man in a few days. If the blind date was successful, it would mean that she would get married. Thinking of this, she still felt a little melancholy.
So, she went shopping alone with her two maids in a depressed mood. After visiting several shops, she still felt very bored, and just then she heard the call of customers from the restaurant on the street.
Pei Jinyu couldn't help but stamp her feet when she heard this, and said, "Let's go inside and take a look."
After instructing the maid behind her, she walked into the restaurant.
"Miss, what would you like to order?" the waiter greeted him warmly.
Pei Jinyu asked, "Do you have any famous dishes and fine wines?"
"Of course we have. Our most popular dish recently is the braised pork, which is as thin as a cicada's wing. As for the wine... there is a very popular one recently, called Qianlixiang. Miss, would you like to try it?" the waiter introduced enthusiastically.
Pei Jinyu heard this, waved her hand and said, "Okay! Give me one portion each."
So the waiter quickly brought one serving.
Pei Jinyu sat at the table with two maids standing beside her. She tasted the wine and felt that it tasted really good. She even felt comfortable, which made the annoyance in her heart dissipate a lot.
Just at this moment, a familiar figure came in from downstairs.
"Master, that seems to be Miss Pei." Suddenly, the servant behind King Qin said.
King Qin looked inside and saw Pei Jinyu sitting alone at the table drinking. Her little face was flushed and it was obvious that she was a little tipsy.
When King Qin saw this scene, his brows furrowed and he immediately walked towards her.
"Miss Pei, you are a woman, please don't drink so much." King Qin walked up to her and advised her.
Pei Jinyu slowly raised her head when she heard this. When she saw the familiar face of King Qin, she felt even more depressed.
"What's it got to do with you? You're not related to me, so why should you control me?" Pei Jinyu replied unhappily, and in revenge, she took the wine glass and poured it into her mouth.
"You are already drunk, don't drink anymore!" King Qin frowned and reminded her in a deep voice, then reached out and snatched the wine glass from her hand.
Pei Jinyu saw that the cup in her hand was taken away, and shouted at him angrily: "Give the cup back to me, you have no right to control me!"
A trace of worry flashed across the King of Qin's face, but he still didn't give her the cup or say anything. He just looked at her with a complicated expression.
Pei Jinyu was a little angry. She pulled out the hairpin from her head, put it against her neck, and said, "If you don't give it to me, I will die in front of you!"
"Miss Pei!" King Qin called out in a deep voice, which sounded very suppressed.
King Qin didn't expect that Pei Jinyu would threaten him like this just for drinking?
"Miss, you are really drunk! Don't be like this, let us take you back home!" The maid behind Pei Jinyu was frightened and hurried forward to persuade her.
However, Pei Jinyu didn't listen at all. She still looked at King Qin angrily and said, "Are you going to give it to me or not?"
