Su Wenyuan shook her head, quickly swallowed what was in her mouth, and said, "I don't like drinking."
She used to not care whether she drank or not, but now she has to etch the words "cannot drink alcohol" into her mind. Her body has a very low alcohol tolerance, and drinking too much will easily cause problems.
This answer disappointed Sheng Jingyu, who quickly suppressed the thoughts in her mind.
Su Wenyuan had almost completely forgotten things, but Sheng Jingyu remembered them very clearly; he hadn't drunk too much that day.
He was upset during the meal; he figured Hua Ling had used up all her good stuff on him.
They didn't even consider whether his body could handle it.
Sheng Jingyu didn't dare to look up at Su Wenyuan, hesitating whether to send her away after finishing her meal.
As I was thinking, I looked up and saw that Su Wenyuan's cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were starting to glaze over.
There was only a pot of fruit juice on the table. Sheng Jingyu took a sip. It was still the fruit wine from the Qu family in Hecheng, but it tasted different from last time.
It was probably freshly delivered, and Su Wenyuan drank it like fruit syrup.
"Hmm?" Su Wenyuan's chopsticks missed again, and she narrowed her eyes, moving cautiously. The moment the chopsticks reached out, they still went astray.
Sheng Jingyu placed the piece she had her eye on into her bowl.
"Hmm! It's in the bowl?" Su Wenyuan was surprised and confused, thinking it had appeared out of thin air.
She drank too much again, and it looked like she drank even more than last time.
Sheng Jingyu reminded him, "You've had too much to drink; you just drank alcohol."
"Nonsense!" Su Wenyuan retorted indistinctly, "I can't drink too much, I'll cause trouble if I do, and the prince's health isn't good, he'll be worn out!"
Your Highness! No! It will fall apart!
Sheng Jingyu's smile froze instantly. Was this how Su Wenyuan perceived him?
One wedding night and the conclusion is that it's not going to work?
"Someone, clean this up." Sheng Jingyu immediately ordered someone to come in and clear the table.
Su Wenyuan was already full, but she couldn't bear to put down her chopsticks.
Sheng Jingyu asked, "What kind of wine was delivered today?"
"The wine was delivered from Hecheng before dinner. This time, the Qu family sent more than ten kinds of fruit wine, each with a different taste. We'll see which one the Princess Consort likes, and next time we'll ask for more of them separately," the old woman explained with a smile.
Sheng Jingyu smiled and said, "Keep them all. Send them over when you brew new ones later. The dishes were very good today. Have the kitchen staff go to Ye Shan to collect their reward."
It's not that the food is good, it's that the task is done well.
Before the maids could leave, Su Wenyuan collapsed onto Sheng Jingyu.
Unlike last time, when Su Wenyuan could still make a fuss for a while, this time she just fell asleep!
Asleep?
Sheng Jingyu's emotions were in a state of extreme highs and lows.
Can we get our reward money back?
Su Wenyuan is asleep, what is he going to do?!
Sheng Jingyu was devastated and could only settle Su Wenyuan on the bed. He then arranged for someone to prepare bathwater behind the screen.
Sheng Jingyu used the bathtub that Su Wenyuan had prepared for herself.
At the same time, more than a dozen kinds of poisonous insects appeared in Hua Ling's room, all kinds of sizes.
He was sleeping when he suddenly woke up to find the door locked. He spent the whole night catching bugs in the room, cursing as he did so.
Unsure how much Sheng Jingyu had released, he dared not be careless until someone came to open the door for him at dawn.
Sheng Jingyu changed bucket after bucket of cold water, feeling that he hadn't used enough poisonous insects; the amount should be the same as Hua Ling's.
That night, only the drunken Su Wenyuan managed to sleep well.
The next day, I was startled when I opened my eyes, thinking that I had been drunk and had sex again.
Upon looking at Sheng Jingyu, his face was completely pale and his eyes were dark and swollen. Given his physical condition, he probably couldn't do anything.
Thinking of this, Su Wenyuan felt relieved, but she still shouldn't drink recklessly next time.
Sheng Jingyu didn't attend court, and Su Wenyuan didn't go out either; they lived quite comfortably.
It was unusually quiet and peaceful; outside, things were in complete chaos, but they didn't care.
Princess Heyi did not want him to continue causing trouble after being beaten at Jinkouhe, since the guards at the time were all her own people.
Sheng Jingyu had already made it clear that if things escalated, they wouldn't have any grounds to stand.
Jin Kouhe was spoiled in Qikong Kingdom and had never suffered such humiliation. He insisted that the envoy go and demand an explanation.
The envoy pressured the emperor, so the emperor put pressure on Sheng Yuanhe and Princess Heyi.
While Sheng Yuanhe was busy with his investigation, he also had to deal with Lu Wanying in the mansion.
Lu Wanying cried for several days in a row, just wanting a title. Since the Crown Prince had not married a Crown Princess, there was no way to give her a title.
But Lu Wanying is right. If she never gets a proper title, then the child will be illegitimate.
Sheng Yuanhe also knew that he was troubled by this matter, and the emperor was also forcing him to investigate the incident of Prince Jin being beaten.
“His Highness the Crown Prince also considered finding two random people to deal with them, but he couldn’t handle the envoys,” Ye Shan said.
Just as Sheng Jingyu was about to speak, Su Wenyuan held a grape to his lips.
This is how he was treated after he pretended to be sick.
He said he didn't need to bother Su Wenyuan, but Su Wenyuan said it was good to eat more fruit, and often when she was eating, she would stuff a piece into his mouth.
"Among the envoys who came this time, there is a troublesome civil official who was annoying in Qikong Kingdom. He always likes to find fault with others. Sending him here is just to make things difficult for us." Sheng Jingyu spoke unclearly.
Su Wenyuan said indifferently, "It's fine if he goes and annoys Sheng Yuanhe, anyway, it won't cause any trouble at the Prince Chen's mansion."
The Emperor has regretted his actions these past two days. Sheng Jingyu has been feigning illness and hiding in his residence, while Su Wenyuan has been confined to her quarters.
They successfully avoided trouble and lived a carefree life in the mansion, without offering to help or think of a solution.
No sooner had Su Wenyuan finished speaking than people arrived from the palace.
It was Eunuch Hu, who was by the Emperor's side, who came to check on Sheng Jingyu's health and see how he was recovering. He also brought a lot of tonics.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
Sure enough, he revealed the purpose of his trip after only a few words.
"His Majesty originally intended to hold a family banquet to welcome Princess Heyi, but the banquet was canceled because Prince Jin was injured. Now, to express his apology, His Majesty wants to hold the banquet again and invite the envoys from Qikong Kingdom to attend."
Su Wenyuan agreed, saying, "That's a good thing. They've come from so far away, we should welcome them to show respect. A family banquet is too stingy. If we're going to have a banquet, we should have a big one."
Eunuch Hu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yes, the Princess and the Emperor have the same idea. The Prince and Princess must be there on time the day after tomorrow at noon."
“Go there? I can’t go!” Su Wenyuan refused outright.
They were just agreeing, and now they're suddenly not going?
Hu Gonggong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "This servant sees that the prince's complexion is much better, he should be able to go over now, right?"
Su Wenyuan looked worried and said with a bitter smile, "It's all an illusion, an illusion. It's all fake. You'd be dizzy just walking from here to the door! Let alone entering the palace. Even if you were carried there, you wouldn't last a quarter of an hour."
