The crown prince's complexion was indeed somewhat haggard. He was dressed in a white robe as he sat by the window. He did not wear a crown on his head. The green ribbon had been tied up his hair into a bun, revealing his weak and elegant appearance.
He held his forehead with one hand and flipped through the pages with the other. Seeing Morong Gan coming in, he smiled and said, "I'm still as amazing as ever Third Brother. He's drunk and is fine.
"Second brother is in the prime of his life, how did he become old?" Morong Gan looked at his complexion, "If you have to blame anything, it's because that wine was too strong. Speaking of which, I haven't drunk that strong alcohol in a long time, where did it come from?"
"Mr. Zhuge brewed his own wine. He probably didn't expect it to be so strong. He came to apologize early in the morning." The Crown Prince put down the book in his hands, "What crime did I say it was guilty of? Does alcohol should be called alcohol?"
Morong Gan sat down, "Mr. Zhuge is such an expert. Not only can he make tea, he can also make wine. There are not many things in this world that he can't do."
"He was originally a wild and free man, and I forced him to stay by my side," the crown prince ordered people to bring out tea sets and personally make tea for Morong Gan. "I originally thought that I was considered to be knowledgeable in the Way of Tea, but after seeing his way of drinking tea, I realized how shallow I am."
"Second Brother has such a good mentor and friend by his side. I'm so envious of him."
The Crown Prince laughed, "Why do you envy me? You have a loving wife, so I should be the one jealous. "Oh right, yesterday you said that you wanted to visit Zhu'er. Have you ever been there before?"
Morong Gan was startled, "Did I say that yesterday?"
"I did. You said it yourself when we were drinking. I heard it for real."
Morong Gan blinked his eyes, a little hesitant, "Why don't I have any impression at all?"
"It's normal to be so drunk that I don't remember."
"Then how did second brother remember that?"
"The drunk do not remember what he said, but what others said. "I don't believe you. Think about what I said last night."
Morong Gan narrowed his eyes and thought about it seriously, "Oh right, you advised me to go see Zhu'er last night."
"Remember? I am advising you to go see Zhu Er, you are now a princess, but Zhu'er has a special relationship with you, forget about anything else, even if she saved you once, you still have to go see her.
Morong Gan turned the jade cup in his hand, "Princess Qian Qian sent Doctor Wei to take a look, he said that he had caught a slight chill, so he should be fine."
"Even if there's nothing serious, we still have to go and take a look. At the end of the day, she's still sick."
Morong Gan scratched the back of his head and said with difficulty, "It's not that Second Brother doesn't know, it's just that the wangfei is a little delusional right now. I'm afraid that if she wants to break it, we'll have to wait for a while longer."
"You, you," The Crown Prince pointed at him and shook his head helplessly, "Where did all your arrogance go? Who would have thought that the famous Prince Chu would be so afraid in his home, but his delusions are really powerful. I heard that he went to Zhu Er's place last night and pulled her blanket on the spot, that's a little …" He smiled. "I assume you're used to it."
Morong Gan laughed embarrassedly: "She went overboard last night, there was no helping it, she is pregnant, she is a spoiled and proud person, I can only let her go, who can stop her at the brothel? However, I heard that two guards stopped them downstairs. It seems like it was arranged by second brother. "
"Yes, I did," the Crown Prince said, "The princess is pregnant, and Pearl is sick. You are only taking care of one, and I'm a little tired. The other is taking care of you, so we need some peace and quiet.
Morong Gan laughed, "She is staying at the embroidery floor, so there aren't many people who would bother her. Second brother is taking precautions against my wangfei."
The Crown Prince didn't deny it, "It's good that you know it. Although I haven't gone to the inner chamber often, I've heard that the wangfei has been causing a ruckus lately. It's not bad that you can handle it."
Morong Gan laughed, "My wife, what if I don't accept it? She has a child, and it's harder than normal. When she's upset, it's fine to make a ruckus. "
"I know your difficulties. If you don't want to go, then don't. I'll go over later. Those who are sick need to care about them the most. It's also good for us brothers to go."
"I am relieved to have second brother's concern for Zhu Er."
"Ahh, don't let your thoughts go astray. I'm going in your place. Don't forget, she was once your fiancée!"
"I told her."
"So what? If you say it clearly, she will expunge you from her heart?" The crown prince scoffed. "Think from another perspective, if we don't bring back the wangfei this time, will you be able to forget about her?"
Morong Gan lowered his eyes and drank his tea, "He will understand in the future if you force her to do this."
"In her heart, perhaps you have long become a heartless man," the Crown Prince shook his head, "In this world, any kind of barrier can be passed, but love is the only thing that can make you sad."
At this time, Jia Tong came in and whispered a few words into Morong Gan's ears, and he took the chance to get up, "Second brother, I still have some matters to attend to, I'll come again to drink your tea next time."
The Crown Prince didn't keep him and waved him off. "Go on."
When Morong Gan went out of the door, he called Li Xiaolu in, "Has Ning Jiu returned?"
"Yes, I probably have something that I need to report to you and have Jia Tong come to invite your highness."
The Crown Prince sat quietly for a while, then said, "If there's anything, come look for me at the backyard, I'm going to take a look at Miss Huangfu."
"Yes, Your Highness," Li Xiaolu accompanied him out, "Your Highness, about the matter last night, did Your Highness have any suspicions?"
The Crown Prince glanced at him, "What happened last night?"
Li Xiaolu laughed dryly and did not speak any further.
Huangfu Zhuer leaned on the Soft Couch and was about to stand up to greet her, but was stopped by her, "You're not feeling well, you don't have to worry about your own safety, you're not an outsider either."
Huangfu Zhuer was in a low mood and was too lazy to bother with pleasantries. She leaned on the soft cushion again, "Why is Crown Prince Brother here?"
"What? You don't want me to come?" The Crown Prince looked at her, "You think it's a good plan that's perfect for both sides. No matter what happens in the end, I'll have Third Bro come to see you. Unfortunately, in the end, I made a mistake and I just persuaded him for a long time and he sent me away just because he was afraid that Princess Hua-Yang was going to change his mind."
He and Huangfu Zhuer had jointly set up the trap last night, so he thought of ways to get Prince Chu drunk, so that he wouldn't return to the backyard for a long time, and then he could spread the news that Prince Chu was going to see Huangfu Zhuer. Princess Chu had a delusion, after hearing it, he would definitely explode.
From beginning to end, they had thought about every single detail and finally came to a conclusion without fail. This was because the Prince Chu was not easy to fool.
First, he had missed out on the Prince Chu. After getting drunk like that, he still remembered to return to the backyard, but no one could stop him. And after he leaked the information about the Princess Chu, he actually took off the blanket. Fortunately, Huangfu Zhuer had prepared for this, and had defeated her and turned herself into a victim instead. Thus, the Princess Chu turned over the vinegar pot in the middle of the night and came to the embroidery floor to cause trouble. No matter how much the Prince Chu avoided suspicion before, he should at least have personally come to comfort her.
It was a pity that to Prince Chu, matters of face were far less important than things that were important. They had underestimated the loyalty of the Prince Chu to the Princess Chu.
