Chapter 333 A Family of Wine Gods!
Zhang Yumo was three months pregnant. She sat next to Jiang Jinyan and said, "Third sister, I'd like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine to wish you a happy birthday. Mother and Father know we're going to the palace, and they asked me to send you my blessings as well."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Jiang Fenghua had a high alcohol tolerance, and since everyone present was family, she was very generous, downing a full glass of wine without batting an eye or skipping a beat.
"When did Ruan Ruan develop such a high alcohol tolerance?" He had also practiced, but he didn't know if it was due to his constitution, but he couldn't drink too much, otherwise he would easily get drunk.
“I haven’t practiced. My family has a reunion dinner every year for all the major and minor festivals, and alcohol is a must. My older brother and I both have a high alcohol tolerance, and my mother also has a high alcohol tolerance. Maybe I took after my mother!” Jiang Fenghua said.
Xie Shang finally understood. He had been outdrunk by Jiang Jinyan, and Jiang Jinyan dared to claim that he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk because it was innate. "That's Zhiqin's drinking capacity."
Jiang Zhiqin blushed and said, "I don't know. They always say I'm a child and don't let me drink much, but I've secretly drunk some before, and I never get drunk."
Xie Shang exclaimed, "What a family of wine gods!"
The group smiled and said, "It's a blessing from heaven."
Meanwhile, because the Jiang family came to celebrate the Crown Princess's birthday, the three young ladies of the Eastern Palace naturally sat at another table. The table was full of dishes, but only the three of them were seated. The servants also had their own seats and naturally did not sit with the young ladies.
At this moment, everyone had their own thoughts. Consort Song was naturally served with care and attention. The dishes that Granny Wang specially prepared were all good for pregnant women and were placed in front of her.
Tang Qianran wanted to go and try to build a relationship with Song Qing because she had figured it out recently. Song Qing was the sweetest-talking of all the concubines. She often flattered the Crown Princess and called everyone "sister." She was a very outgoing person, so the Crown Prince favored her more, which is why she got pregnant.
With His Highness the Crown Prince present and the entire Jiang family there, Zhu Zhenzhen also glanced over discreetly. She could tell from their appearance that they were all formidable, each seemingly skilled in martial arts. If she were to ruin the Crown Princess's birthday banquet tonight, she feared she would face dire consequences. Therefore, her gaze towards Song Qing softened considerably.
There's plenty of time, there will always be opportunities. The baby won't be born for another ten months.
And so, Jiang Fenghua's seventeenth birthday banquet passed peacefully.
After the birthday banquet, the young ladies bid farewell and returned to their respective palaces. Tonight, His Highness the Crown Prince would naturally be spending time with the Crown Princess, so they dared not harbor any unrealistic hopes.
Jiang Fenghua's face was flushed, and her eyes were blurry with drunkenness. She personally escorted Lin Yu and the others to the outside of Chenxi Palace, instructing them, "Big brother, you must make sure they get out of the palace safely, you must..."
"Ruan Ruan is drunk, please take good care of her, Your Highness." Jiang Jinyan hadn't expected Ruan Ruan to be drunk, but she had indeed drunk quite a lot.
"Don't worry, Night Shadow will escort you out of the palace. I'll take her back first." Xie Shang hadn't seen the drunk Jiang Fenghua yet, and seeing that she couldn't even stand steadily, he quickly supported her. "Ruan Ruan, let's go back."
Jiang Fenghua hooked her arm around Xie Shang's neck. "Husband, I'm so happy tonight. Thank you for the gift. It's the best gift I could ever receive."
Ignoring the fact that everyone was still there, she planted a kiss on Xie Shang's cheek, a sweet smile spreading across her face. "Kiss the other side too, my husband..."
Xie Shang felt his face burning red, and he picked her up in his arms, saying to the others, "I'll take her back first."
Jiang Fenghua stretched out an arm, turned her head and smiled at the group, then waved her hand, "Take care!"
The group was stunned when they saw Jiang Fenghua like this. She seemed to have become a completely different person, someone they didn't recognize at all.
-
Xie Shang carried Jiang Fenghua back to her bedchamber.
Everyone was shocked to see the Crown Princess snuggling into the Crown Prince's arms, seemingly kissing him. Where had the usually dignified, composed, and unsmiling Crown Princess gone?
Xie Shang said coldly, "Hurry up and make some hangover soup."
Everyone answered in unison, "Yes."
He put Jiang Fenghua back on the bed, but she clung to his neck tighter and tighter. He said, "Ruan Ruan, let go first, let me take off your shoes."
"No, I don't want to let go." She opened her bright eyes and praised directly, "Xie Shang, how can you be so beautiful? So beautiful that I can't bear not to marry you. Such a handsome man belongs to me, Jiang Ruan. Haha, they'll be so jealous."
Xie Shang was speechless with exasperation, but he was also delighted by Xie Shang's teasing.
At this moment, Hongxiu and Lianye brought water and handkerchiefs to the bedside. "Your Highness, please let us wash the Crown Princess first. Washing her face will wake her up."
They are now silently praying to Buddha to save their young lady from getting drunk!
Miss, please don't say anything carelessly!
Jiang Fenghua hooked her arms around Xie Shang's neck, "No, you all go out, I want to be alone with my husband, we need to be intimate..."
The two were unsure whether to leave after hearing this; the young lady was truly too bold.
"Crown Princess," Lianye boldly reminded her, "Do you know who we are?"
Taking advantage of Xie Shang's inattention, Jiang Fenghua quickly flipped him over and pinned him down, then kissed his lips again, saying, "Didn't you see us being affectionate?"
After the kiss, she stood up again, her body swaying unsteadily, and pointed at the two maids in front of her, "You are Hongxiu, you are Lianye. I am the Crown Princess, I know you, I recognize you."
She then pointed to Xie Shang on the bed, "He is my man, the Crown Prince, I recognize him. Now you can all rest assured! Go quickly..."
Lianye really wanted to pour a basin of water over her head.
At this moment, Hongxiu reacted quickly, taking a wet cloth and wiping her face while saying, "Princess Consort, please wash your face first. It wouldn't be good if your face reeked of alcohol and offended His Highness the Crown Prince."
Miss, you've really worried me to death! Luckily, she still recognizes them.
Jiang Fenghua was sobered up a lot after being wiped on the face. "Now that you've washed your face, you can leave!"
"I will take care of her. You all put down the water and go out first." Xie Shang also got up from the bed and pulled her into his arms.
The two had no choice but to leave to check if the hangover soup was ready, and they didn't dare to close the door too tightly.
After everyone left, Xie Shang pulled her onto the bed and stared at her beautiful face. "Ruan Ruan, what did you call me?" He wanted her to call him husband again.
Jiang Fenghua opened her eyes and saw Xie Shang's face very close to hers. She wanted to slap him, and she said, "You bastard."
Xie Shang was stunned. Was he really that much of a jerk?
At this moment, she felt really stuffy and hot, and her head was throbbing. She pushed him away and then tugged at her clothes, saying, "Thank you for the drink."
Xie Shang was stunned again. She had never called him by his name before. He moved closer to her.
"I want to drink water, I'm thirsty, thank you for the drink..."
When Xie Shang saw that she wanted to drink water, he quickly went to pour some. "Ruan Ruan, wait a moment, I'll pour you some water."
She lay on the bed, a smile spreading across her lips, her voice growing softer and softer, "Snotty-nosed, Xie Shang, you're a crybaby."
