Chapter 1833 I’m not drunk
No matter how annoying he is on a normal day, he is still my brother.
The wine and food were ready, so the Ninth Prince did not stop him from drinking.
The third prince finished pouring the second pot of wine and reached for the third pot.
He didn't use his chopsticks to pick up food properly, but instead went for the bright red peppers.
Spicy tendon, without tendon, but with dried chili peppers.
Spicy scallops, with dried chilies instead of scallops.
Spicy pig's trotters, instead of pig's trotters, add dried chilies.
The Ninth Prince felt uncomfortable in his mouth when he saw this.
This person has never experienced the power of chili pepper. Not only will his mouth and stomach feel uncomfortable, but there will also be unspeakable pain.
The Third Prince finally shed tears, and when he saw the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince looking at him, he curled his lips.
"This chili is quite tasty..."
"Ha ha……"
The Ninth Prince was helpless and said, "I know, I know, you are crying because of the spicy food, not because you feel bad!"
The Third Prince picked up a chili pepper and wanted to say something back, but didn't want to say it anymore.
Keep chewing the peppers.
You know what, my tongue even hurts.
A meal lasts from noon to dusk.
There were dishes all over the table, but the Ninth Prince ate few bites, and the Tenth Prince hardly touched the food with his chopsticks either. They let the Third Prince drink and eat most of the food.
After putting down his chopsticks, the Third Prince burped and loosened his belt by two buttons.
The Ninth Prince looked at the three empty wine jugs and asked, "Can you still stand up?"
The Third Prince waved his hands and said, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not drunk..."
As he spoke, he stood up, steadily, and looked indeed good.
He had just left the palace without anyone by his side.
The Ninth Prince motioned He Yuzhu and Wang Changshou to follow him and be ready to help anyone at any time.
The Third Prince stood straight, not crooked.
The Ninth Prince heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Although I didn't take the initiative to host the party, it was my own treat after all, so I still hoped that the Third Prince would calm down.
When they were going down the stairs, the Third Prince noticed something was wrong.
The legs won’t bend anymore, and the head is falling down.
Fortunately, He Yuzhu walked in front and Wang Changshou followed behind. The two of them watched carefully, one stepped forward to block him, and the other hugged him from behind, thus preventing the Third Prince from rolling down the stairs.
The Ninth Prince was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
If he falls down, he might break his arms and legs.
At that time, not only would the Third Prince suffer, but he, as the host, would also be in trouble.
"I'm not drunk..."
The Third Prince was tied up and felt uncomfortable, so he reached out and pushed He Yuzhu.
There are guards in the lobby.
The person on duty here for the Ninth Prince today is Chunlin. He brought a few people and sat at the same table with the guards from the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing that the masters were about to go downstairs, everyone came over and supported He Yuzhu from behind.
The Ninth Prince pointed at Chunlin and said, "Hurry up and help the Third Master out..."
After hearing this, Chunlin grabbed the Third Prince's arm and signaled another guard to support the other end. The two of them supported and carried the Third Prince down the stairs.
The lobby was full of guests, all looking over to watch the fun.
The Third Prince was not idle, and said: "It has been three years. I haven't drunk a proper drink for three years... I am not drunk, but I can drink two catties of alcohol..."
Each wine jug holds half a pound, which is why he drinks so contentedly.
The total amount was indeed not enough for him to drink, but when mixed together, the aftereffect of the alcohol was doubled, which was beyond his prediction.
The Ninth Prince said disdainfully: "Who stopped you from drinking? What precious thing is not enough? I will give you two jars later!"
He had no idea there was a story behind this and just thought the Third Prince was stingy and unwilling to drink.
The Third Prince had been helped out of the restaurant. He turned his head and said, "We agreed on two jars, no coaxing."
The Ninth Prince urged, "Get in the car quickly and go home to sober up."
"I'm not going home. The government office is still busy..."
When the breeze blew, the Third Prince became confused, but he still insisted on being stubborn.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol hit his nose.
This stinks...
The Ninth Prince was so intoxicated that he quickly stepped back and said to Chunlin, "Send the Third Master back to the Prince's Mansion..."
Chunlin responded and, together with other guards, carried the Third Prince onto the carriage.
There was only one car, and the Third Prince took it, so the Ninth Prince didn't want to get on.
He wanted to ride home on horseback but was stopped by the Tenth Prince.
I just finished my meal and was walking against the wind. My stomach didn’t hurt, but my head did.
The Tenth Prince asked the shopkeeper to find a carriage, and he got on it with the Ninth Prince.
"This meal depends on how Third Brother plays tricks on us!"
Brother Ninth said.
He was clearly an uninvited guest, but he became the host.
The tenth prince said, "Among so many brothers, their family has the most children who died young. The youngest prince lost three children. No wonder he feels bad. Compared to him, my situation is nothing..."
The Ninth Prince sighed.
I have so many nephews and nieces that I have no impression of some of them at all.
Even when it comes to the Tenth Prince, it is not the Younger Prince that he feels sorry for, but the Tenth Prince.
The Tenth Concubine was ignorant and the Tenth Prince taught her in detail for several years, but she still made no progress.
It's just that there's no point in saying these things all the time.
It seems like he is trying to sow discord between his brother and his wife.
From the outside, it seemed that the Tenth Prince had the most noble family background and his wife had the highest status among the wives of the other princes, but this marriage was just for the sake of appearances.
The Tenth Concubine was born in Abahai. Her parents’ home was in a foreign land thousands of miles away from the capital. It was as if the Tenth Prince’s wife’s family did not exist.
He is not close to his mother's family either.
Compared with other princes, the Tenth Prince seems too lonely here.
Fortunately, I still have myself...
The Ninth Prince said, "In a few days, it will be the Little New Year, and we need to start preparing New Year dishes. I remember that you like red bean rice cakes the most. I will ask the kitchen to make more. Half of them should be red bean, and half of the yellow rice flour and the glutinous rice flour..."
The Tenth Prince said, "When we were young, everyone loved to eat sticky buns, except the Ninth Prince."
The Ninth Prince covered his mouth and said, "Whenever I eat sticky buns, I feel wind coming out of my mouth, and it's full of fishy smell."
The Tenth Prince also remembered another misunderstanding.
When the Ninth Prince was eating rice cakes when his teeth were changing, his teeth got stuck and fell off, causing a mouthful of blood.
When I was young, I looked forward to growing up quickly, being granted a title and having my own house; now that I am older, I realize that my childhood days were not all about grievances and embarrassments.
Seeing that the Tenth Prince finally smiled, the Ninth Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The tenth son did not like socializing but valued his family. This time he lost a son and was deeply hurt.
When he arrived at the door of his house, the Ninth Prince's steps became a little heavy.
This is certainly not because of being drunk.
It was just a few cups of rice wine, there was no way I could get drunk.
He was thinking about the issue of one son in each family going to school.
On his side, Akdan has been with his brother since he was born; on the fifth brother's side, there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, which is also a hidden danger.
Just thinking about it really gives me a headache.
No wonder people pity the weak, he feels sorry for Akdan.
Although both of them were initiated into high school, Fengsheng could go to the palace while Akdan could only stay at home.
Since he was worried, Shushu could naturally see it.
Thinking that he was still worried about the Tenth Prince, Shushu advised him, "It has come to this point. It's useless for you to feel upset. The past is over. If you can't let it go, the Tenth Brother will see that and worry about you instead."
The Ninth Prince glanced at Shushu, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "I understand, I won't mention it anymore."
If the princes of Fengsheng's generation were to enter the palace to study, the earliest would be the year after next, at the same time as the Eighteenth Prince; if it were slower, he would be six years old, one year later than the Eighteenth Prince.
Maybe things will turn around by then, so there's no need to tell Shushu now and make her worry.
The Ninth Prince remembered what he had said to the Tenth Prince.
"Prepare the New Year's dishes in a few days. Ask people to make more rice cakes. Grandpa promised Old Ten that half of them would be made with red beans..."
Shushu nodded and decided to ask the kitchen to make more beef jerky as a snack for the Tenth Lady.
When something like this happened in the Prince's Mansion, Shushu, the sister-in-law, should have gone there in person to comfort the Tenth Lady.
But she is in this condition now and has difficulty moving. If she insists on going there, it will only cause trouble for others.
Shushu thought that the Ninth Prince had always been picky about the Tenth Lady, and this time he might be taking his anger out on her, so she slowly told Baiguo the gossip that he had heard.
"My tenth brother has a good family background. He also holds the private property of Empress Xiao Zhao and Imperial Concubine Mother. Not only is his sister-in-law's dowry generous, but his foreign goods shop is also making a fortune every day. He lives too well. He may have attracted the jealousy of villains. There are many people who are jealous now, and there are also many people who harm others without benefiting themselves..."
The Ninth Prince found this nonsense ridiculous.
"Just because she's called Guo Luoluo, she becomes my cousin? Why don't you say she's the Eighth Lady's sister? Is this Guo Luoluo a restless girl, deliberately trying to make a big fuss?"
This Princess Guo Luoluo naturally has no relationship with the Ninth Prince's maternal family.
On the other hand, as for the Eighth Concubine, her ancestors were indeed from the same clan as those of Concubine Yi, but the Eighth Concubine's family was from the clan leader's lineage, while Concubine Yi's family was just ordinary members of the clan.
The great-grandfather of the Eighth Concubine was married to the sister of Emperor Taizu, thus becoming a relative of the imperial family. Later, her great-grandfather married a princess, her grandfather married a county princess, and her father married a county princess, thus establishing her family connections with the royal family and clan.
Concubine Yi's ancestors, her great-grandfather was the personal guard of Emperor Taizong, and her grandfather began to serve as the Shengjing Zuoling, in charge of the Shengjing customs seal, until Sanguanbao was transferred away from Shengjing. He was a trusted retainer of the royal family.
Shu Shu said, "I told you all this because I wanted you to remind me, Tenth Brother, that the fence is more important. My sister-in-law is a simple-minded person. If someone really wants to do something bad, I will have to guard against it..."
