"I've been under a lot of pressure lately. Your Highness, don't mind if I have a few drinks?"

Zhao Ji's melancholy look reminded the little prince of his clansmen who were hiding like snakes and rats in the capital.

For a moment, the two of them felt an inexplicable empathy for each other.

At this time, the little prince was already being controlled as a puppet by the person behind the scenes, so his every word and action were actually the words and actions of that person behind the scenes.

The wine Zhao Ji brought this time was very fragrant, and it could even be said to be the emperor's private collection.

This was also the case when there was a time when Zhao Ji did his job efficiently and the emperor was very pleased, so he rewarded Zhao Ji with fine wine.

Southern Xinjiang is a poor place with deep mountains and old forests, so naturally there is little fine wine to drink.

The smell of wine aroused the greed of the person behind the scenes.

So his eyes subconsciously stared at the wine in Zhao Ji's hand.

Zhao Ji naturally saw the man's eager look out of the corner of his eye.

But now Zhao Ji just pretended not to care, and took out a small wine glass from somewhere, and drank it one sip after another. The aroma of wine filled the air. Fortunately, the two of them were in a remote palace.

Otherwise, others would have discovered it long ago. There are two people here.

The taste of the wine is so fragrant, and you can tell that it is a fine wine with an excellent taste just by smelling it.

Zhao Ji followed the little prince in complaining while eating with relish.

"It's really not fun to stay here. If Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't you come with me to the Imperial Household Department?"

"I still have a few jars of good wine, which, when paired with the delicious food from the imperial kitchen, is truly a great blessing in life!"

The little prince's attention was focused on the aroma of the wine at this time, so he naturally agreed.

The main reason is that he can't help it now.

So at this moment the little prince had completely forgotten that his current body was that of a child in his early ten years old.

With an experienced look, he followed Zhao Ji back to the palace.

Good wine and delicious food had already been prepared in the palace.

Zhao Ji ran to a tree and dug out a jar of wine.

"This is called Qiuyue Niang. It was given to me by the Emperor. It is very strong, but has a mellow taste. Drinking a glass facing the moon is very interesting."

"And this wine has a light sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, but it's not as sweet and cloying as those sweet-scented osmanthus wines. It's exactly what a man should drink!"

Zhao Ji patted his chest and said.

This time the little prince really couldn't help it. He picked up the wine glass next to him, poured himself a glass, and drank it impatiently.

The spicy wine slides down the throat and burns the stomach, but the aftertaste is filled with the aroma of osmanthus and a faint mellow taste.

I have to say, it is indeed rare to find good wine.

However, the little prince actually forgot that his body was that of a child, and his face turned red after drinking just one glass of wine.

However, because it was a puppet, it did not feel particularly drunk for the time being. Seeing that the fish had been hooked, Zhao Ji specially brought up some side dishes.

"This is saury, a rare delicacy. It was sent here from Jiangnan at full speed, killing several thousand-mile horses. It was also given to me by the Emperor today..."

"This flavor is usually only available to the emperor. Why don't you try it today and experience what the ultimate deliciousness is!"

After a while, the little prince started eating and drinking. His body couldn't handle the strong liquor and he felt sleepy.

The little prince was staggering in his seat, while Zhao Ji filled his glass with wine one after another.

This liquor not only has a mellow taste, but also has a very strong aftertaste.

The little prince drank a lot this time. After drinking half a pot of wine, he fell on the table.

Zhao Ji deliberately walked forward and pressed the little prince's shoulder.

"Get up, get up!" The little prince was called several times, but there was no movement.

At the same time, Zhao Ji put his hands on the little prince's body, and gradually he began to hear some sounds.

[That guy trapped me in this body, took over my nest, and even used my body to drink! It's really abominable! ]

[I have been locked up in this dark place for a long time. Hasn't Wu Fei noticed anything unusual? Why hasn't he sent someone to rescue me? Can I still be myself again? ]

[Wuwuwuwu… It’s so dark in here, I want to go out, mother! ]

Gradually, these voices grew from faint to loud, and Zhao Ji realized very clearly that these were the thoughts of the little prince who was trapped deep inside his body.

It seems that the medicine is really effective.

Zhao Ji's eyes fell on the plate of saury. Everything Zhao Ji said to the puppet before was true.

It’s just that a sufficient amount of antidote was added to the saury dish. Fortunately, the saury was particularly delicious, which completely covered up the smell of the medicine.

In addition, the strong liquor went down his throat and blocked some of the taste, so the puppet really didn't notice anything at all.

Zhao Ji smiled and helped the little prince to his bedroom. The little prince's body was still sleeping, but his trapped consciousness was becoming more and more powerful.

Gradually, the little prince realized that he seemed to be gradually regaining control of his body.

[Oh my god, can I be myself again? I want to tell my mother what kind of nightmare I went through...]

[But why can’t I wake up? Damn it, it’s all because of the alcohol! ]

The young prince was obviously thrilled to have gained control of his own body.

Zhao Ji pretended not to know, covered the little prince with a quilt, settled him down, then turned around and left.

It was not until the evening of the next day that the little prince woke up from his sleep.

The first thing the little prince did when he woke up was to jump out of bed and run out.

Zhao Ji stopped him.

"Little prince, there are some things that may not be believed just by saying them out loud."

Zhao Ji's eyes were unfathomable, but the little prince was very puzzled. He had no idea what Zhao Ji was talking about.

The next moment, he bypassed Zhao Ji and ran straight to his mother's palace.

The virtuous concubine had not seen the little prince the whole day, but fortunately, someone around the little prince came to reply and said that the little prince was with Zhao Ji and seemed to have something to discuss.

The little prince was very precocious during this period, so sometimes Concubine Xian didn't pay much attention to him.

In the evening, Concubine Xian suddenly saw the little prince rushing in like an arrow and throwing himself into her arms.

"Mother, mother, I miss you! Some bad guys have captured me and locked me up in a small dark room!"

When Concubine Xian heard this, she was immediately furious and arranged for someone to investigate.

After a thorough investigation, it was found that the little prince was staying with Zhao Ji, and there was no evidence of him being locked up in a small dark room.

Concubine Xian frowned slightly: "What's wrong with you? Are you teasing me? I thought you behaved very well some time ago. You have grown up... Why are you acting like this now? "
