Li Xiuzhu looked at the princess who was pouring wine and looked at her curiously.
Seeing the Crown Princess's gentle and noble appearance, Li Xiuzhu couldn't help but feel good about her.
But he didn't look at it much. After all, she was the prince's wife, and now he and the prince were heading towards the honeymoon period.
After pouring the wine, the Crown Princess also looked at Li Xiuzhu.
His sharp eyebrows and starry eyes were handsome and unrestrained, which also made the Crown Princess feel a little fond of him.
Then he took a look at the prince and secretly thought that such a person might not be as good as the prince and he might like men.
Thinking of the prince's preferences, she felt a little sorry for herself. She thought that the prince's concubine was beautiful and had a bright future.
But who would have known that it turned out to be the result of being a widow.
"Xiuzhu, Rongyu, let's have a drink."
At this time, Li Xiuzhu was suddenly startled.
"Brother, don't you drink?"
Hearing this, the prince smiled and said: "I am taking care of my health. The imperial doctor has made some medicinal wine. I have to drink three cups a day."
"Don't drink too much at the same time."
"If your brother-in-law doesn't believe it, you can drink this medicinal wine with your brother. However, this medicinal wine was specially prepared by the imperial doctor for your brother. If anything happens to you after drinking it, I will not be responsible."
"Besides, your sister-in-law is with you, so what are you afraid of?"
Li Xiuzhu smiled.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Since it's inconvenient for me, just drink some medicinal wine."
The prince was right. The princess also drank. How dare he poison them both at the same time? If he dared, then he would be useless. No one would want such a vicious person to sit on the throne.
Moreover, he possesses peerless internal power, so he can use his internal power to wrap the wine first, and wait for a while to see the princess's reaction before deciding whether to absorb it.
The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them, and Li Xiuzhu drank it all in one gulp.
The cup is not big, only half a liang of wine, and the alcohol of this era is generally not high except for burning knives.
Drinking a cup is like drinking a can of RIO.
"Come, let's have some food first. I asked a chef from the Western Region to make this roast lamb. It tastes authentic and is a rare delicacy."
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu took a piece and tasted it. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, mixed with the taste of cumin and salt. It was really delicious.
It's a pity that there is no chili. If I had some chili noodles, wouldn't it be yyds?
He did find some peppers. Su Chengcheng had gotten them before, but the peppers were only one and they were not yet ripe.
"Here, let's take this second cup, and let the past grudges be wiped out."
This is all rhetoric, why don’t we have a drink?
"Let's try this abalone. It was rushed to the capital from 800 miles away. It was still alive before being cooked."
Li Xiuzhu was stunned for a moment. To eat seafood in the capital, this must be a very advanced technology... No, it makes sense, this must be a rich boss.
The abalone is stewed, because without soy sauce, it is impossible to make the classic braised pork.
However, the stewed abalone in the villa is also particularly good.
Not only does the soup have the taste of the sea, it also has a crunchy texture and a pretty good texture.
"Brother, this abalone is really rare, you should try it too."
The prince waved his hand.
"Forget it, I still like this sheep whip better."
"It's a pity that I can't give you this one."
Li Xiuzhu was suddenly embarrassed, please, can I not eat?
"Ahem, abalone is pretty good. I like the smell of the sea."
"Okay, then you can eat more abalone."
After three glasses of wine, everyone relaxed.
Because the Crown Princess was there, Li Xiuzhu did not discuss the plan with the Crown Prince, but Li Xiuzhu was also quite confused.
He originally thought that the prince wanted to cooperate, and judging by his attitude, he really wanted to cooperate, but why would you leave an unrelated person here when you cooperate?
Do you really think you can have nothing to worry about if she is your wife?
Many big guys have been stabbed in the back by women, right?
Wait, Li Xiuzhu thought, and suddenly thought of his wife. It seemed that he had not hidden anything from them.
This, you won't be stabbed in the back, right?
It would be great if we could eavesdrop on his heart. If someone wants to sell him, there will always be clues.
"What are you thinking, brother-in-law?"
After hearing this, Li Xiuzhu came back to his senses and said, "I was wondering why the elder brother invited me as soon as he returned to the East Palace."
The prince was startled when he heard this. Didn't I say that?
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that I didn't say it.
He also roughly guessed why Li Xiuzhu asked this, after all, people are not stupid.
"It's like this. My father and mother asked me to get along well with my brother-in-law."
"So brother-in-law, just drink with confidence, there won't be any problems."
Li Xiuzhu was startled. He didn't expect this answer. It seemed different from what he thought.
Doesn’t the emperor’s old Yinbi want to eradicate me?
Moreover, he clearly knew that the prince and I had a quarrel, how could he dare and how could he feel relieved?
Is there a back-up?
Or is it that I have paralyzed him during this period?
Li Xiuzhu was also thinking about the problem while drinking with the prince and his wife.
With this thought, the control over alcohol becomes less strict.
Suddenly a lot of wine leaked into his stomach.
However, Li Xiuzhu didn't take it seriously. The princess had been drinking for a long time, and except for her blushing and blurry eyes, there was no other abnormality.
Blushing and confusion are consistent with drunkenness.
At this time, Xiao Rongyu gradually began to feel uncomfortable, looking at the two men with blurred eyes, wishing they would bully him severely.
However, her only rationality and reserve allowed her to endure it.
Plus, I haven't experienced it before, so I can still control myself for a while.
"Your Highness, this concubine is too drunk to drink, so she went back to sleep first."
The prince glanced at Xiao Rongyu, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Okay, let's go and rest."
As the prince rang the bell, a maid soon came in and helped the prince Xiao Rongyu out.
Xiao Rongyu's eyes were a little blurred at this time, so she naturally didn't realize that the maid who helped her was not her personal maid.
The prince looked at Li Xiuzhu again and admired him in his heart.
It’s strange to still be so sober after drinking so much!
But don't worry, there is still wine, let's see how long he can last.
"Come, brother-in-law, I wish you good fortune and endless beauty in the future."
When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he thought, this is great, he likes everything.
"Auspicious words to the Crown Prince!"
The wine was over thirty years old, the food was over five flavors, and Li Xiuzhu had been drunk too much, and his whole body was filled with the smell of alcohol and the heat.
The prince looked at Li Xiuzhu and said, "It's not convenient for my brother-in-law to go back like this, so why not go to the side hall to rest."
"I will take you back, brother-in-law, tomorrow."
At this time, Li Xiuzhu was already lost, but what made him even more uncomfortable was the rising heat.
Li Xiuzhu said softly while tearing at his clothes: "Woman, give me a woman."
The prince smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you, brother-in-law."
"Go back to the house first."
Li Xiuzhu seemed to have heard the words "arrangement" and "go back to the house", and he drowsily managed to endure it.
The prince followed the two maids and personally led Li Xiuzhu into the side hall, and then locked the door.
"Remember, don't let anyone in, otherwise your lives will be in danger."
The two maids guarding the door immediately bowed.
"Prince, don't worry, we won't let anyone get close to this house."
