Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Princesses Drink Alcohol
Jia Yu got up, and the wine jug was snatched over: "What is this?" β
"I got it from the cook yesterday, and it was the secret of the cherry meat. He also said that as long as you read it, you will know, I don't know if it's true or not, so I'm here to ask you. β
Jia Yu ignored Wu Neng, leaned over to the mouth of the wine pot and sniffed lightly, and after feeling it carefully, his face changed greatly: "This is the taste!" That's right, that's the smell! β
Jia Yu was overjoyed, not only did he ignore Wu Neng, but the group of family members who were beaten in the courtyard didn't bother to take a look, and returned to the kitchen.
Wu Neng didn't dwell on it anymore, although he didn't know what the wine in the jug was, he also felt that what Xia Shang said was true. He was so relieved. As long as Xia Shang didn't lie, it proved that everything he saw last night might be a misunderstanding. The cook had indeed tried to tell the princess the secret of the cherry meat, and the princess had drunk herself into the cook's arms. It's not that the princess likes him.
Thinking of this, Wu Neng was finally able to relax today, and after stretching happily, all he wanted was to go home and sleep comfortably.
β¦β¦
At night, in a small courtyard surrounded by layers of palace walls, the window was open, and Princess Runan looked at the night sky blankly at the window, looking at the round moon thoughtfully, I don't know what I thought, and her face was a little red.
At this time, a palace maid sneaked in and pulled out a wine jug from her clothes.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the slave maid has brought you wine."
Princess Runan nodded, opened the lid with some eagerness, and smelled it, feeling different from yesterday's taste, but also fragrant. Reminiscing about the fluttering feeling of being drunk yesterday, the muddy and nightmare feeling lingers, as if all the troubles have disappeared. Princess Runan still wanted to experience it, so she asked her personal maid to steal a pot of wine.
The palace maid looked at Princess Runan's eager appearance and was a little worried, and whispered, "Princess, do you really want to drink?" But what if your body is ...... Slaves...... Slaves and maids can't afford it. β
"The wine was stolen by you for the palace, whether the palace drank it or not, you can't escape the blame, if you don't want others to know, just turn a blind eye."
How dare the palace maid say it again? Honestly guard the door.
It was the first time that Princess Runan stole the wine in the palace to drink, and I didn't know what the difference was from yesterday's wine, but I thought that the difference would not be too big, so I took a sip with curiosity.
It turned out that Princess Runan was too naΓ―ve, the same wine, but the taste of yesterday and today was completely different, one was extremely spicy, the other was moderately sweet and sour, and the two could not be compared at all.
"Poof!"
Princess Runan vomited all the wine, and poured two glasses of water in succession before relieving herself: "Xiaobi! You come in! β
The palace maid who had just gone out was summoned in again, and looked at the princess with a blank expression.
Princess Runan was a little annoyed and asked, "Where did you get the wine for this?" Why is it so unpleasant? β
"Unpleasant? Won't you? The wine in the palace is all rare and good wine, and it can't be bought in Chang'an City. β
"Is this good wine? You can taste it for Hongu yourself, what's so good? β
Seeing that the princess was full of displeasure, the palace maid played a little drum, wondering if she really got the wine in question? I tasted a glass myself, and there was no problem at all, so it should be much better than ordinary wine.
Princess Runan was stunned when she saw the palace maid calmly drinking a glass of wine, and tried to ask, "Don't you think there's anything wrong?" β
The palace maid shook her head.
"Have you ever been drinking?"
The palace maid replied in a low voice: "I have drunk." β
"That's ......" Princess Runan's mind began to spin, and she began to realize that it was not the problem with the wine, but because of Xia Shang's words last night.
"It's the most beautiful wine in the world."
Maybe what he said was true, which is why there is such a big difference between the two wines.
After thinking about it, Princess Runan coughed lightly twice in embarrassment: "Ahem...... Well, it's nothing, you go out first. β
Soon, she was left alone in the room. It was impossible to taste the wine like last night again, but if she wanted to get drunk again, looking at the wine jug in front of her, Princess Runan chose to try it again.
But as a result, he couldn't swallow the hot and astringent drink.
"Hey!"
At night, the princess's soft sigh came from the courtyard. The princess who was guarding outside was already yawning.
β¦β¦
At this time, the lights were still on in the courtyard of the Saijia, and several family members were holding lanterns but leaning against the wall and dozing off.
I don't know if it's because the Saijia has just held a funeral, relatives and friends don't want to come to the Saijia to get dirty, and there are very few people who come to visit the Saijia.
It is even more unlikely that anyone will come at this time. Qin Lan, who had been kneeling in the mourning hall for a whole day, was numb all over, but she couldn't stand the sleepiness coming, so she put on new candles and incense and wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no one to squint secretly.
As a result, as soon as I closed my eyes, Sai Jiangnan's voice came to my ears: "Sister-in-law, can you still sleep?" β
Qin Lan was startled, and quickly straightened up: "Sister...... Are you coming? β
"I'm here to accompany my sister-in-law, and I'm also here to accompany my eldest brother." Sai Jiangnan knelt on Qin Lan's right hand in thin clothes.
Sai Jiangnan didn't say anything, but for some reason it brought huge pressure to Qin Lan and made Qin Lan feel uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, now the eldest brother is gone. What are your plans for the future? β
"Intended?" Qin Lan shook her head blankly, "I...... What can I do? β
"My sister-in-law's experience in the Sai family, my sister has heard about it, and if you want to say that your sister-in-law has hatred for her eldest brother, my sister can understand it."
Qin Lan turned her head to look at Sai Jiangnan: "Why did my sister say this?" How have I ever hated my husband? β
"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be so nervous. Xiaomei just said casually. The eldest brother is gone, and there is no male in my family. The lineage of my Saijia is broken. There is no greater compassion in the world than this, right? Therefore, my sister secretly swore today that she would not let go of anyone who harmed my eldest brother. β
Qin Lan's back was numb, and she pinched herself fiercely: "Sister, what do you mean by this?" The husband died of tuberculosis and had nothing to do with anyone else. β
Sai Jiangnan smiled; "Sister-in-law, my sister loves and hates clearly, and she can see clearly who is right and who is wrong. My eldest brother has always been bad to you, and you have had a hard time these two years. It's the big brother who loses you first, and besides, you're still the one of my season. Even if you can't get anything to do with the death of your eldest brother, your sister doesn't plan to do anything to your sister-in-law. As long as my sister-in-law tells me all the details of my eldest brother's death, you are still a good sister-in-law in Jiangnan. Otherwise, my sister can't find the murderer who killed my brother, and she can only use my sister-in-law to comfort my brother's spirit in the sky. β
Qin Lan's sleepiness disappeared without a trace, all that was left was fear, looking at Sai Jiangnan, she felt so strange, how could she not have found that this sister had such a cold side before?
Qin Lan couldn't say a word for a long time, and Sai Jiangnan continued: "Sister-in-law, don't doubt your sister's means. Jingzhou and his entourage have a lot of feelings, as a woman, if you want to deal with many official masters in business, you must let them not see your weakness, but let them be afraid, so that you can firmly hold the initiative in your own hands. β
