Chapter 359 I did something wrong
Xiao Xixi asked while throwing peanuts into her mouth.
"Isn't there good wine and food in the palace? Why do you have to come out to drink?"
Qiu Sheng lay on the table, drunk and unconscious, but still holding the wine jug in his hand and refusing to let go.
It took him a long time before he spoke.
"I just didn't want to stay in the palace, so I came out alone."
Xiao Xixi: "Looking at you like this, it seems like you have encountered some troubles."
Qiu Sheng shook his head and stopped talking.
Xiao Xixi: "Wine makes sorrow worse, you should drink less."
When Qiu Sheng heard this, it was as if someone pressed a switch. He suddenly felt his nose sore and his eyes turned red.
He lay down on the table and began to sob.
Xiao Xixi was stunned by his sudden reaction.
Qiu Sheng is eighteen years old, quite tall and handsome. At this moment, he was lying on the table and crying like a child, which made people feel a sense of incongruity no matter how they looked at him.
Xiao Xixi hesitated for a moment, but still took out the silk handkerchief she carried with her and wanted to hand it to him so that he could wipe his tears.
Luo Qinghan coughed lightly at this moment.
Then Eunuch Chang was very tactful and took out his silk handkerchief and stuffed it into Qiu Sheng's hand, while also comforting him.
"Don't be sad, Third Young Master. You are still young. Even if you really encounter some setbacks, as long as you get through them, you will have a bright future ahead of you."
Qiu Sheng wiped away his tears vigorously with a silk handkerchief, and his mood calmed down a little, but his eyes were still red.
He choked up and said, "I still want to drink."
Eunuch Chang asked the waiter to bring two more jugs of wine.
Qiu Sheng didn't use a wine glass, he just picked up the wine pot and gulped down several gulps of wine.
Xiao Xixi was chewing peanuts and thinking, isn't he afraid of getting alcohol poisoning if he drinks like this?
Then she remembered that the technology for distilling liquor was very backward these days. Even the best liquor had a low alcohol concentration. It was quite difficult to drink enough alcohol to get alcohol poisoning.
Qiu Sheng put down the wine jug, sniffed, his voice still with a hint of tears.
"I really don't know what to do!"
Xiao Xixi: "Sometimes I also encounter the same situation as you, and it makes me feel very annoyed."
Qiu Sheng looked at her with tears in his eyes: "Have you ever encountered something like this?"
"Yes, for example now, there is a plate of roast chicken and a plate of roast goose in front of me. I am very hesitant. I don't know whether to eat the roast chicken or the roast goose first. I feel very upset!" Xiao Xixi smiled bitterly and looked really distressed.
Qiu Sheng: “…”
Luo Qinghan: “…”
How can I put it? As expected of Xiao Xixi!
It took Qiu Sheng a while to react. He shook his head and said, "I'm different from you. Yours is just a small matter, but mine is a big deal!"
Xiao Xixi: "That's not what I meant. This may be a small matter to you, but it's a big deal to me. After all, you are not me. How do you know what I value more in my heart?"
Qiu Sheng thought hard with his brain filled with alcohol, then nodded dizzily.
"You have a point. I am too narrow-minded."
After a while, he asked again, "So do you want to eat the roast chicken first? Or do you want to eat the roast goose first?"
Xiao Xixi said as a matter of course: "Only children make choices. I am an adult, so of course I want them all! I can have a roast chicken in my left hand and a roast goose in my right hand and eat them at the same time. It's so delicious!"
Qiu Sheng: “…”
He tilted his head, feeling that what the other party said seemed to make sense, but something was not quite right.
Xiao Xixi patted his shoulder and comforted him like a good buddy: "Actually, you can do the same as me. Since you can't make a choice, then don't make a choice. Do whatever you want. Don't worry about what others think. Make yourself happy first!"
Luo Qinghan stared at her paw and coughed twice.
Xiao Xixi looked at him: "Your Highness, is your throat uncomfortable? Why do I always hear you coughing?"
Luo Qinghan: "Hand."
Xiao Xixi looked down at her hand on Qiu Sheng's shoulder, pouted, and silently retracted it.
Oh, the prince's possessiveness that has nowhere to go!
Qiu Sheng did not notice the little movements between Concubine Xiao and the Crown Prince. He was still thinking about what Concubine Xiao had just said.
He said with a bitter face: "I also want to do what you say, but I dare not!"
Xiao Xixi: "What is there to be afraid of? You are the third son of the Chenliu Palace, and you are a big shot in the local area. Show your courage as the third son of the palace!"
Qiu Sheng laughed at himself, "The Third Young Master is nothing! I am not as virtuous and talented as my eldest brother, nor am I as favored by our father as my second brother. I have nothing except the title of the Third Young Master."
"Don't say that. Be more confident. You are still much better than a fart."
Qiu Sheng: “…”
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Are you trying to comfort someone or stab them?
Perhaps because Qiu Sheng's eyes were too aggrieved, Xiao Xixi regained a bit of conscience and continued to comfort him.
"Why do you have to compare yourself with others? There will always be people who are better than you in this world. If you keep on being so picky, you will have to live in the shadow of others for the rest of your life. Don't you think it's hard?"
Qiu Sheng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xiao Xixi told him a few inspiring stories, which moved him to tears.
He couldn't help crying again.
Xiao Xixi wanted to reach out and pat his shoulder to comfort him.
As a result, the claws had just been stretched out when they were forced back by the prince's eyes.
Xiao Xixi had to change her approach. She pushed the peanuts in front of her towards him and coaxed him like a child, "Come on, eat some peanuts, and you won't cry after you eat them."
Qiu Sheng cried and said, "I don't eat peanuts."
Xiao Xixi thought, it’s just better if you don’t eat, I’ll eat it alone!
She crunched the peanuts.
After a long while, Qiu Sheng gradually stopped crying. He sat up and wiped his face with a silk handkerchief.
"In fact, I have long understood that my elder and second brothers and I are not of the same kind. I have never thought about fighting for anything. What really bothers me is something else."
Xiao Xixi slowed down her eating of peanuts and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Qiu Sheng's mind was in a mess right now, partly because he drank too much, and partly because his emotions were fluctuating too much.
He now desperately wanted to find an outlet to vent all the negative emotions that had accumulated in his heart.
He looked at the woman in front of him. Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and clear, like a clear spring that one could see through at a glance. She looked soft and harmless.
"I did something wrong," he whispered.
Xiao Xixi: "Hmm?"
"Not long ago, my father and I had a quarrel. I was in a bad mood and I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. When I woke up, I found... I found..."
