Arriving at the tavern, Yuan Zhan's expression was already unpleasant. He said, "Prince Jing, we don't have much friendship and don't meet often. You're treating me to a drink just to ruin my chance to spend time with Miss Lan Zhi, right?"
Jun Weihe said nonchalantly: "You figured it out..."
Yuan Zhan snorted coldly and said, "Do I even need to see this? I can guess that among the ten nobles in the capital, at least seven are fond of Miss Lan Zhi."
Jun Weihe was slightly surprised and asked, "So many?"
"Of course. The dozen or so brothers I know are all eyeing Miss Lanzhi. When they're drunk, they even complain about why women can't find more husbands so they can have a chance." Yuan Zhan said arrogantly, "However, when they heard that I like Lanzhi, they all wisely chose to give up..."
Seeing that Jun Weihe didn't respond, Yuan Zhan frowned and said unhappily, "I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Someone like you is not worthy of her."
"Oh?" Jun Weihe found it funny and asked, "Could it be that the prince thinks that only you are worthy of Miss Lan Zhi?"
"Of course." Yuan Zhan said confidently, "Although I don't have any talent for cultivation, I have a good father. The palace is filled with countless treasures. When Lan Zhi marries me, I will definitely not let her down."
Jun Weihe: "..."
What should I do? I feel like this guy really deserves a beating.
But fighting and such things will damage your image.
Jun Weihe thought about it and decided to be more polite. A gentleman should use words instead of fists. "I am the most handsome man in the capital. I can be a vase, pleasing to the eyes."
"You—" Yuan Zhan was stunned. He stared at Jun Weihe's face, unable to refute for a moment. His face was gloomy and he said, "What's the point of being pretty? Lan Zhi is not that superficial. She is a proud person and would never fall for a loser like you!"
Jun Weihe was not angry, but found it funny: "I, a prince, have the cultivation of the Infant Yuan Realm, and I am considered a waste. Then how about an ordinary person like you who has no cultivation at all..."
Isn't that worse than trash?
"Jun Weihe!" Yuan Zhan raised his voice, his eyes sharp and cold, but a smile played at the corner of his lips. He moved closer to Jun Weihe and lowered his voice, "Don't think that just because you are the emperor's favorite prince, you can humiliate this prince like this."
Jun Weihe raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why? Are you trying to use your father's reputation to bully others again?"
Yuan Zhan had originally wanted to do so. After all, he was used to letting his father solve problems. However, seeing the slightly mocking expression on Jun Weihe's face, Yuan Zhan's mind got hot and he said, "Who said that? Am I that kind of person?"
Jun Weihe didn't say anything, with an elegant smile on his face, as if asking: Isn't it?
Yuan Zhan was a man after all. Even though he realized Jun Weihe might be trying to provoke him, Yuan Zhan still said, "There's no need to trouble father with such a trivial matter. From today on, I will compete fairly with you for Miss Lan Zhi."
The previous "rivals in love" were too weak and not challenging at all. It's good to have one more person competing now, so that she can better show her charm. As long as Lan Zhi is not blind, she will not fall for Jun Weihe.
Even so, Yuan Zhan still felt very uncomfortable. He wished he could cast a curse on Lan Zhi, making her madly infatuated with him. This would save him from having to try to please her every day while she acted so hot and cold...
"Come, sit down." Jun Weihe pulled Yuan Zhan. Yuan Zhan shook his sleeves in disgust, but failed to get rid of him. He could only sit down with a dark face.
He asked irritably, "What for?"
"Of course we come to the pub to drink."
The waiter brought a jar of the best wine and placed it on the table.
Yuan Zhan hesitated and said, "This prince... has been weak since childhood and has never drunk alcohol."
Jun Weihe put his right index finger and middle finger together, spiritual power flowed from his fingertips, and used the spiritual power to control the wine jar and pour out two glasses of wine.
Yuan Zhan was a little angry. He felt that Jun Weihe was just showing off in front of him on purpose. What was so great about having spiritual power?
"Come and try it?" Jun Weihe asked. He was handsome to begin with, with a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were sparkling and pleasing to the eye.
Yuan Zhan was very jealous of his handsome face and really wanted to punch him, but considering that he was not as strong as the other man, he had to give up.
Yuan Zhan had gone to taverns with his friends before, but while everyone else was drinking alcohol, Yuan Zhan drank tea, which made him stand out from the crowd because he was born with a weak constitution. But now, his father had obtained the book "Blessing", which made Yuan Zhan healthy and strong. Even when his father was away, the "Blessing" was still in the palace. Yuan Zhan felt that he was in good health, so he picked up the bowl and took a sip, then frowned, feeling that it did not taste good.
Jun Weihe had finished the wine in the bowl.
Yuan Zhan hesitated for a moment, unwilling to admit defeat, so he gritted his teeth and gulped down the whole bottle.
Jun Weihe immediately filled another bowl for him.
Yuan Zhan was silent for a few seconds, then said, "...Do you intend to kill this prince?"
"I dare not. I cannot bear the wrath of Prince Rui."
"I think you're very brave."
Yuan Zhan snorted coldly, looking around. He noticed that the men at the table were all devouring their meat and drinking wine with gusto, behaving in a very heroic manner. Yuan Zhan despised them, thinking they were rude and impolite, but deep down, a subtle envy rose in his heart. He had always been in poor health, and now it was a rare opportunity like this...
Just as he was thinking about it, Jun Weihe had already asked the waiter to bring a plate of fennel beans and a plate of braised beef.
"Do you want to get me drunk?" Yuan Zhan asked.
Jun Weihe admitted frankly: "Yes, I just don't know how much the prince can drink."
Yuan Zhan didn't know how much he could drink. He drank bowl after bowl and even ate a whole plate of braised beef in soy sauce.
"I refuse to accept this!" After finishing the last piece of beef, Yuan Zhan slammed his bowl down, his cheeks flushed. He tilted his head back and shouted, "I'm grown up now. I also want to fight on the border. Why aren't you letting me go?"
Immediately, a drunk stranger in the tavern chimed in, "This fellow is so brave!"
Yuan Zhan was encouraged. He stood up, patted his chest, and said, "A real man should gallop on the battlefield and conquer the world."
The drunks responded, "What a great ambition!"
Yuan Zhan added, "Then marry Miss Lan and bring her home!"
"good!"
The drunks applauded. A few men squinted their eyes, examining Yuan Zhan's fair and handsome face. They felt he was more beautiful than many women on the street, with skin more delicate than his. The silk and satin he wore looked priceless. If they could rob him...
"Lanzhi is mine, mine! No one can take it away from me. Whoever dares to go against me, my father, Prince Rui, will massacre his entire family!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the drunks shuddered and sobered up instantly. Everyone realized Yuan Zhan's identity and dared not stay any longer. They threw down the money for the drinks and left in shame, fearing that if they left too late, they would be in big trouble.
