Chapter 454 I want to drink to boost my courage, but I can’t be afraid of my wife
"I am in poor health. I am half buried in the ground and have less than two years to live. I just want to see Yu'er marry Wanxin and give me two more great-grandchildren. Then I can leave with peace of mind."
The Queen Mother grabbed Xiao Jinyu and spoke slowly, almost taking two breaths after each sentence, as if she would die in the next second.
If it were normal, Xiao Jinyu would definitely reply with a few words, but now seeing that the Queen Mother was breathing out more than breathing in, sensitive and fragile, how could he dare to say more? If a word was wrong and she was irritated, he would be a sinner.
The Emperor comforted her gently: "Mother, you need to rest more now. When you are well, you can host Yu'er's wedding."
The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Jinyu, her cloudy eyes full of expectation: "So Yu'er is willing to marry Wanxin?"
"...Grandma." Xiao Jinyu almost cried. He didn't want to marry Wanxin, but he was afraid that Grandma would be irritated. But he couldn't nod and agree. It was too aggrieved.
The Queen Mother looked at Xiao Jinyu expectantly, expecting his answer.
The Emperor saw that his son was slow to speak, so he patted his son's shoulder, "Yu'er, your grandmother is asking you a question?"
"Grandma, grandson..." Xiao Jinyu looked at the Queen Mother, hesitating for a long time, and couldn't say the word "willing".
Shen Chuwei hugged Xiao Jinyan's arm tightly, watching Xiao Jinyu being forced to marry a woman he didn't like, and at the same time breaking his promise to the woman he loved, and suddenly felt sorry for him.
It also made her realize that even Xiao Jinyu, the most favored prince, couldn't make his own marriage.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, thinking about when he was just appointed as the crown prince, the queen found twenty women for him to choose from, which was really difficult for him.
However, Xiao Jinyan didn't choose at that time, but let the queen take full responsibility for the matter of taking concubines.
Xiao Jinyan noticed Shen Chuwei's gaze, lowered his eyes and glanced at her, only to see that she showed a very sympathetic look, and then showed a distressed look.
He held her hand tightly without saying anything.
Finally, under the double pressure, Xiao Jinyu was forced to nod.
The Queen Mother smiled, "No wonder I love you."
The Queen Mother was seriously ill and needed to rest. After visiting her, everyone left one after another.
Xiao Jinyu walked out with a lonely look. When he passed the corridor, he met Wanxin. He paused, raised his head and asked her, "What do you think of the Queen Mother's intention?"
Wanxin slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyu with tender eyes, "I am alone, and the Queen Mother treats me like a relative. Naturally, I will listen to the Queen Mother."
Xiao Jinyu showed a trace of pity in her eyes: "You are too wronged."
After that, she strode away.
Wanxin stood in the corridor and watched Xiao Jinyu's back as she left. Xiao Jinyu was really gentle, spoke directly, and had no scheming. There was nothing wrong with being a concubine.
Xiao Jinyu did not go back to Qiancheng Hall directly, but went to the East Palace. It was dinner time when she came.
Xiao Jinyu looked at the table full of food, turned her head to look at Shen Chuwei, and said aggrievedly: "Sister-in-law, is there no wine?"
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyu's aggrieved look, and it seemed that she wanted to drink to relieve her sorrow.
"Yes, I'll get it for you."
There was a lot of wine at home, but Xiao Jinyan didn't have the habit of drinking during meals, so there was no wine on the table.
Shen Chuwei took a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green and put it on the table.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at the Bamboo Leaf Green on the table, and saw Xiao Jinyu picked up the bottle and filled it for himself, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, and then poured a second glass.
He reminded: "You can drink, but not more than three cups."
Xiao Jinyu paused after raising the glass, and looked at the prince brother with grievance, "Brother, your brother is like this, why don't you drink a few more cups?"
Xiao Jinyan said lightly: "Drinking can't solve the problem."
"It's because it can't solve the problem that I want to drink a few more cups. I don't know how to tell Miss Han when I go back later." Xiao Jinyu said, and raised the glass and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes paused. He had experienced it himself, so he could naturally understand his brother's mood at this time.
"Since there is no solution, then accept it. You only agreed to marry her, but you didn't agree to live in harmony with her."
"That's what you said, but marrying someone back... Miss Han," Xiao Jinyu felt depressed, poured himself another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp: "What's a man, if he says something but can't do it, what's the point?"
Shen Chuwei took a bite of the braised pork, and seeing Xiao Jinyu so sad, she took the initiative to pick up the bottle and pour him a glass of wine, "Although drinking can't solve the problem, you can sleep well when you are drunk. If you have any troubles, you can talk about it when you wake up tomorrow."
Xiao Jinyu looked at Shen Chuwei gratefully, "Sister-in-law, do you want to drink?"
Shen Chuwei shook her head vigorously, "I don't drink, my alcohol tolerance is too low, and my drinking habits are not very good."
She got drunk twice, and took advantage of Xiao Jinyan in various ways both times. The point is that it is easy to lose memory when drunk. If she tells that she is a time traveler, it will be over.
"What's the big deal? With my brother here, no one dares to bully you." Xiao Jinyu turned his head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Brother, am I right?"
"..."Xiao Jinyan: "You are not allowed to drink again after this cup."
Xiao Jinyu knows the prince brother well, and he always keeps his word. He can only bargain.
"I can drink another cup to give me courage, right? Otherwise, I don't know how to talk to Miss Han when I go back."
Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyu's cowardly look and couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness, Prince Yu is a henpecked husband."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "What do you mean?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "As the saying goes, you are afraid of your wife."
Xiao Jinyu felt the need to explain, "I am not afraid, I respect you."
Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "Yeah, it's all the same."
Xiao Jinyan looked at his brother and poured another glass of wine. Isn't he afraid that he needs to drink more to boost his courage?
However, even so, Xiao Jinyan only let his brother drink one more glass and stopped him from drinking.
"Don't drink."
Xiao Jinyu showed a pleading look, "Brother, I'm not drunk yet."
"Do you think you can tell Miss Han about this when you are drunk?" Xiao Jinyan told his brother the truth lightly: "You will just fall asleep."
Xiao Jinyu thought for a while after hearing this and felt that what the prince said made sense, so he didn't continue drinking.
But the only sustenance in his heart was gone, and his sorrow doubled.
Shen Chuwei clenched her chopsticks and picked up ten pieces of braised pork and put them in her bowl, then reluctantly pushed the remaining braised pork in front of Xiao Jinyu, "Eat some braised pork, meat can also relieve worries."
Xiao Jinyu sighed, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth to chew, and then picked up another piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth.
Shen Chuwei watched Xiao Jinyu eat her favorite braised pork one bite after another, and she felt so distressed.
Looking down at the braised pork in the bowl, fortunately she kept ten pieces.
After Xiao Jinyu finished dinner, he left the East Palace.
I drank five glasses of wine, but I didn't feel drunk at the time, but the aftereffect was a little strong. I was a little drunk on the way back.
The cold wind at night was icy and biting, which made Xiao Jinyu sober up a little. After blowing the cold wind all the way, he was almost sober.
Xiao Jinyu returned to Qiancheng Hall with his head down. When he opened the door of the bedroom, he saw Miss Han sitting in front of the mahogany table, and he felt guilty.
Miss Han has never changed her habits.
"Miss Han, are you still awake?"
Xiao Jinyu walked over and just sat down when she heard Miss Han ask, "Did you drink?"
Miss Han smelled alcohol as soon as Xiao Jinyu entered the bedroom. Xiao Jinyu only drank when she went out to play. Since she said she was not allowed to drink, Xiao Jinyu restrained herself a lot and occasionally drank secretly.
"I had dinner at the prince's place. You know, being a prince is a bit stressful. My brother asked me to drink a few cups with him. I can't refuse as a younger brother, right?" Xiao Jinyu's heart beat faster than usual when he lied, and he didn't even dare to look at Miss Han.
Miss Han picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea and put it in front of him, "How much did you drink."
"Not much, just five..." Xiao Jinyu originally wanted to say five cups, but he was afraid that Miss Han would be angry, so he immediately changed his words: "Just three cups, my brother drank five cups."
After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, he picked up the tea in front of him and lowered his head to drink it, in fact, to cover up his guilty conscience.
"I'll have someone prepare hot water for you to take a bath first." Miss Han said, and stood up and walked out.
Xiao Jinyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Miss Han didn't find out that he was lying. He continued to drink tea.
How should he tell Miss Han that he must marry Wanxin?
How to start...
Miss Han came from outside, "The hot water is ready."
Xiao Jinyu was thinking about how to start, and suddenly heard Miss Han's voice, which scared him so much that he almost dropped the teacup.
He hurriedly held the teacup on the table, stood up and walked behind the screen as if escaping.
Miss Han lowered her eyes to glance at the tea spilled on the table, raised her eyes to look behind the screen, and walked over.
Xiao Jinyu took off his clothes while thinking about how to start with Miss Han, and how to make Miss Han not angry.
"I'll help you undress." Miss Han walked in front of him and reached out to untie his belt.
Xiao Jinyu looked at Miss Han who suddenly came over, and even forgot to breathe, because he was scared
He let Miss Han untie his belt, took off his outer robe, put it on the hanger beside him, and then his inner robe.
As the belt was untied, the collar opened wide, revealing his strong chest muscles.
Although Xiao Jinyu was an idle prince, he often went to the training ground to practice riding and shooting. In the past three years, he not only grew a lot taller, but also had a good figure, with a lot of chest and abdominal muscles.
Miss Han looked at the white and rosy skin in front of her. Xiao Jinyu's skin was very white, and it only turned red when drinking. The more he drank, the more obvious it was.
The white and rosy skin showed that he had drunk more than three glasses of wine.
Xiao Jinyu was feeling guilty at the moment. Miss Han helped him take a bath. If it were normal, he would still be very happy, and he would pull him along.
But now, he just wanted to finish the bath quickly.
During the bathing and changing clothes, Xiao Jinyan wanted to talk about that matter, but when he saw Miss Han's cold eyes, he couldn't speak.
