Chapter Forty-Eight: Drunk and Late

"Kid, what's wrong with you?" Su Lan looked worriedly, the child in front of him.

"I didn't ...... It's okay......" The child muttered in a low voice, lowering his head, not daring to look at Su Lan.

Su Lan flipped over the child's palm, and a layer of skin was scratched, Su Lan touched the wound, and the child immediately screamed in pain.

"Hiss~~"

Su Lan frowned every day, this child doesn't seem to be a big deal, but if she just leaves, leaving the child here alone, I'm afraid it's not good.

"Goo~~"

An embarrassed and loud voice came from the child's belly.

"Are you hungry?" Su Lan asked.

"Hmm......" The child still didn't look up, and nodded shyly.

Su Lan looked at the dirty body of the child, with a smell of wind and dust, frowned and asked, "How long have you not eaten?" ”

"It's been a long time...... I don't remember ......"

How old is this child? Did you come out to beg at such a young age?

Because the appearance of the child is really dirty, Su Lan naturally thinks that the child is just an ordinary beggar.

Su Lan looked at the child's shy and pitiful appearance, and felt a little distressed.

Su Lan took her little hand and led him to the carriage.

"Princess...... This kid is ......" Xia Dong looked at Su Lan and brought the little child over, and asked suspiciously.

"He's a little wounded, he's hungry again, and I'm a poor kid, and I'll take him over to have dinner with us." Su Lan said.

"It's so pitiful," Qingmei sighed.

"Hmm."

The carriage was too high for the child to climb up on his own, so Su Lan picked up the child and put it on the carriage, not disliking the dust on the child's body at all.

"Brother and sister, this kid is ......"

Su Lan explained what he had said to Xia Dong to the prince again.

"I see! My brother and sister are really kind-hearted! ”

"Where, the world is so difficult, there are so many poor people, it is good to be able to help one person." Su Lan said casually.

Su Lan has lived by the side of the virtuous concubine since he was a child, and it is inevitable that he will be taught by the words and deeds of the virtuous concubine, so that Su Lan is kind-hearted and cares for all sentient beings.

Besides, what the horse was shocked by today was a child, which made people feel even more distressed, Su Lan thought.

"This kid probably hasn't eaten for a few days, pitiful~~" Su Lan touched the back of the child's head and said with a sigh.

The prince looked at Su Lan's gentle and virtuous appearance, and actually thought of the woman in his memory.

What's going on? Why does he always associate Su Lan with her?!

The prince frowned slightly, Su Lan did not find the prince's abnormality.

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop at the Liquor Lodge.

Su Lan took the child off the carriage and took his little hand into the restaurant.

"How many people, eat or stay in a hotel?" The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

Su Lan looked at the prince, after all, this was the prince's treat, so if you want something, you still have to ask his opinion.

"Come to a private room! Serve all your new police dishes! The prince said arrogantly.

"Okay! You here, please~~" The shopkeeper led Su Lan and the others upstairs to a private room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a while, and the dishes will come later."

"Well, go get me a basin of water." Su Lan remembered one thing and instructed the shopkeeper to say.

"Okay! What do you have to call the little one again! The shopkeeper shook off the cloth towel on his body and said enthusiastically.

"You go down first, and I'll call you when there's something." The prince said.

After a while, His Royal Highness, the shopkeeper brought a basin of water.

"Child, come here~~" Su Lan beckoned to the child.

The child hesitated, then slowly moved over.

"Hold your hand out."

The child obediently did so, Su Lan put his hand in the clean water, helped him wash it, and then helped him wipe it clean.

The prince looked at Su Lan with interest.

Su Lan found that although the child was very shy all the way, bowing his head and not speaking, the child, looking at the prosperous and heroic decoration of this wine pavilion, was not half amazed.

Su Lan couldn't help but be a little surprised, because when she came to the Wine House Pavilion for the first time, she couldn't help but be amazed.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to bring up a few dishes

"Guest officer, please use it slowly!"

Su Lan nodded, and Qingmei immediately gave the little two as a reward.

"Hehe, thank you, guest officer! Thank you, guest! The shopkeeper turned the silver upside down, and his face turned into a flower.

"Come on, eat!" Su Lan asked the child to sit next to her, moved the dishes to his side, and said in a loud voice.

The child was probably very hungry, and when he heard Su Lan's words, he immediately stretched out his hand to grab the vegetables.

"No!" Su Lan quickly patted the child's hand and handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Eat with chopsticks." ”

The child seemed to be frightened by Su Lan's stern appearance, and obediently ate with chopsticks.

"Come on! Brother and sister try this Tianma roast chicken, the taste is a must! The prince greeted Su Lan.

"Then I'll taste it." Su Lan stretched out his chopsticks directly to the roast chicken, sandwiched a piece of chicken thigh, and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm~~" Su Lan let out an admiring voice: "Brother Huang! This roast chicken tastes amazing! ”

"Hahaha! I knew you'd love it! The prince also put a piece of chicken in his mouth, and said with a laugh.

"I'm not afraid of my younger siblings' jokes, in fact, I'm a person, I have a lot of hobbies on weekdays, and collecting food is one of my big hobbies!"

"Haha! Are you sure! Me too, and I'm not afraid of the royal brother's jokes, I'm actually a person who doesn't have meat! ”

"Me too, me too!" The prince, as if he had found a bosom friend, said happily.

"Try this fruit wine again! It tastes sweet and refreshing, and the wine is full of aroma! With that, the prince filled Su Lan with a glass of fruit wine.

Su Lan was directly bored, and his cool appearance directly shocked the prince.

Because, in the southern country, women are particular about drinking, and they must drink in small sips, and they can hide their faces.

"Haha! Brother and sister are so bold! The prince laughed.

Only then did Su Lan react, "This ...... I forgot the rules of the southern country for a while! It's rude, it's rude! ”

Su Lan said apologetically.

"Huh~" The prince shook his head and stopped repeatedly: "I haven't been rude!" No rudeness! I've never seen a woman drink like this! I didn't expect it to be so heroic! ”

"Let the royal brother laugh!"

"Where, where!"

The two of them chatted while eating, talking silently, and the sky was dark.

The child may be extremely hungry, Su Lan has been chatting with the prince for so long, and he has been eating with his head bored.

And Xia Dong and Qingmei have been standing outside the door of the private room, originally Su Lan wanted the two of them to go outside to eat and wait for her and the prince, but the two girls said that they were not hungry, so they simply waited outside.

And downstairs at this time.

"Huh? Lord Night Wind, why hasn't this princess finished eating? Listening to the rain, he asked casually.

Night Wind gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

Listening to the rain, I couldn't help but shiver and closed my mouth.

It didn't take long for Tingyu to listen to the more and more bold and unbridled chatter and laughter upstairs, obviously forgetting the pain of the scar, and was angry: "Why did the princess talk so happily with the prince?" Where does this put our Royal Highness King Ling! ”

The night breeze also frowned undeniably: His Royal Highness Prince He has always been the opposite, should the prince be...... Deliberately approaching the princess to find out the news, right?

Listening to the rain observing the night wind's expression, he thought it was what he said, and he was recognized by the night wind.

Listening to the rain, the more energetic he became, and his face was resentful: "The princess is simply too hateful!" So close to the Prince! Our Royal Highness is so pitiful, I didn't know that the relationship between the princess and the crown prince was so good! Hum! ”

The night breeze listened to the rain and became more and more unsound, and blew a cold knife over: "Shut up!" ”

Hearing the rain roaring like this by the night wind, he quickly closed his mouth.

……

"Qingmei, the princess and the prince have been eating in it for almost two hours, and the sky is dark!" Xia Dong said to Qingmei: "I explained to the house when I left, and said that I would go back in the evening, but now I ......."

Qingmei's face was serious: "I'll go ask the princess." ”

Qingmei knocked on the door, but no one made a sound.

Qingmei knocked on the door again, this time louder.

"What?" The voice of the prince was slightly drunk in the room.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the princess has explained that she will go back early in the evening." Ome replied calmly.

"Oh! The voice of the green plum! Su Lan reacted.

"Qingmei? What time is it? Su Lan shouted drunkenly outside the door.

"Princess! It's time! Qingmei replied through the door.

"Both...... It's so late......" Su Lan muttered in confusion.

The prince looked at Su Lan's flushed cheeks, his eyes were wet, and he muttered his lips and said these drunken words, how cute he thought?

He stared at Su Lan's bright red lips, his eyes were dark......

"Princess? Princess? I'm in? Xia Dong, hearing a quiet moment in the room, asked tentatively.

"Hmm......" Su Lan replied in a daze.

Xia Dong and Qingmei pushed the door in, and the prince's eyes immediately recovered.

looked at the two girls who came in with slightly drunk eyes, and explained, "Your princess is drunk...... Let's take her back well......"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Xia Dong and Qingmei took their clothes and replied.

"Your Highness wants someone to send you back?" Xia Dong looked at the prince, who was a little stumbling in his footsteps, and asked.

"Huh?" The prince paused in his footsteps, looked at Xia Dong with soft eyes, and said with a smile: "No need...... I'm not very drunk, hehe. ”

"Hmm......" Xia Dong lowered his head and answered softly.

However, Xia Dong, looking at the prince's kind and hearty smile, his cheeks unconsciously burst red, and his heart was a little rippling.

Unexpectedly, the rumored mature and steady prince laughed so ......

"Xia Dong, why are you still standing there? Come here and help me help the princess......" Qingmei looked at Xia Dong who was standing on the side, and shouted with difficulty.

Qingmei wanted to help Su Lan up, but the drunk Su Lan obviously didn't want to stand up, so she struggled to break away from Qingmei like a splash.

"It's coming~" Xia Dong hurriedly reacted and helped Su Lan up with Qingmei.

"Don't ...... Hmm......" Su Lan irritably peeled off Xia Dongqingmei's hand and shouted impatiently.

At this time, the child had already fallen asleep, and I have to say that the child was asleep, just to be safe, Su Lan did not wake up the child with such a loud noise.

Su Lan struggled with Xia Dongqingmei's support, and said impatiently: "I want to sleep, don't move me......"

Su Lan was really drunk at this time, although she usually drank a very good amount of alcohol, but I don't know why, after a few bottles of fruit wine, she would actually get drunk like this.

Xia Dong was almost knocked over by Su Lan with an elbow, but he didn't hold Su Lan for a while, Qingmei couldn't support Su Lan alone, Su Lan's body suddenly lost its support point, and immediately fell behind him.

"Princess......" Qingmei cried out in a lost voice.

At this moment, a figure in a black robe flashed over, and a pair of powerful iron arms hugged Su Lan who was about to fall.

"King Ling...... Your Highness......" Qingmei looked at the person in front of her and said in surprise.

"I'll take her back first." Xiao Ling looked at Su Lan tightly with his eyes, frowned, and said coldly.

"Oh...... ...... well," Qingmei reacted and nodded.

Xiao Ling hugged Su Lan and immediately left the private room.
