Drunk Bamboo

"The prince treats the princess differently. He even..."

Chaoyang was suddenly interrupted by Hua Qinfeng halfway through his words.

"Xie Yuzhu, why are you here?" Hua Qinfeng shook his head, raised his long arm and pointed at Xie Yuzhu.

"Accompany the prince to watch the stars." Xie Yuzhu slowly walked to his side and said patiently.

"You... are willing to watch the stars with me? You're lying... You ignore me, so how can you be willing to watch the stars with me..." Not believing what Xie Yuzhu said, his half-drunk and half-awake eyes blinked up and down, his pupils were black and bright, sparkling.

"Your Highness, you don't believe me? Then I'll sit next to you." She slowly bent down and sat next to him, smiling slightly, "Your Highness, do you believe me now?"

A fresh scent was refreshing, making Hua Qinfeng feel comfortable all over.

He leaned gently on Xie Yuzhu and responded obediently: "Hmm..."

"Your Highness, please put the quilt on the bed. The ground is wet and cold." She whispered softly to induce Hua Qinfeng.

"I'm not cold..." He shook his head like a child throwing a tantrum, leaning towards Xie Yuzhu, touching her cold hands, and suddenly frowned, "Why are your hands so cold?"

"Just wait, I have something good for you. Put it on and you won't be cold anymore!"

Without waiting for Xie Yuzhu to speak, the tall body suddenly stood up and rushed towards the ear room.

After a while, he stood in front of Xie Yuzhu, holding the white fox cloak and smiling foolishly.

"for you!"

"White fox cloak?"

"This is not the white fox cloak given to you by your mother. It's given to you by me. You don't have to be reluctant to wear it anymore! It's a gift from me, so it doesn't matter if it gets worn out!" As he said that, he stuffed the white fox cloak into Xie Yuzhu's arms.

Xie Yuzhu was stunned.

The white fox cloak that the Bai Kingdom presented to the Queen must have been extremely precious and rare. Where did Hua Qinfeng find the second one?

The fur of the white fox cloak in her arms was delicate and smooth, soft and comfortable. It was very warm just holding it in her arms, and it warmed Xie Yuzhu's heart.

She raised her eyes and looked at Hua Qinfeng, who was not sure whether he was drunk or sober.

Xie Yuzhu: Why are you so careless sometimes, as stubborn and hard as a rock, making people angry and irritated. But sometimes you are so thoughtful, knowing that I like the white fox cloak but dare not wear the one given by the queen, and even looking for the same one for this. Hua Qinfeng, you are really hard to figure out and see clearly.

Hua Qinfeng sat on the ground. Seeing Xie Yuzhu staring at him without saying anything, he stopped smiling and asked, "Why? You don't like it? I spent a lot of effort to get it from Hongmei in Taohua Tower."

"What is Taohua Tower? Who is Hongmei?" I've never heard of it. Could it be another mysterious organization?

Xie Yuzhu's curiosity aroused again.

Before Chaoyang could stop him, Hua Qinfeng answered honestly:

"Lao Liu said that Taohualou is a brothel and there are a lot of people there at night, so I went out early today with Chaoyang... and then I ran into the master, who kept nagging for a long time and then fainted..."

Brothel?!

Oiran? !

"Did you go to a brothel with the prince?" Xie Yuzhu turned around and questioned Chaoyang.

"I just went to Taohua Tower to find Hongmei to buy a white fox cloak. I didn't do anything else. Really, I swear to God!" Chaoyang glanced at Yunling beside him for some reason, and then explained to Xie Yuzhu seriously.

When she met the Grand Tutor... who kept nagging for a long time... she immediately thought of what happened this morning. Xie Yuzhu was startled: "Could the Grand Tutor have fainted because of the prince's anger?!"

"Of course not! The Master fainted from coughing! It has nothing to do with the Prince!" Chaoyang was even more shocked and shook his head to deny it.

Visiting a brothel in broad daylight and being caught by the imperial tutor, isn't Hua Qinfeng afraid that he doesn't have enough troubles?

"I don't like the smell of brothels, it makes me dizzy... Xie Yuzhu, you smell nice, light and cool..." Hua Qinfeng moved closer to Xie Yuzhu and greedily inhaled her scent, which made him feel refreshed and comfortable.

Seeing that the blush on his face had faded, Xie Yuzhu no longer let him take advantage of her.

"The prince likes to go to brothels, so he goes to Taohualou to smell the red plums to his heart's content."

"Xie Yuzhu, you said you would watch the stars with me!" Xie Yuzhu stood up without warning, and Hua Qinfeng missed her and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was very skilled, and with a push of his big hands, he jumped up and stood steadily.

"Don't pretend to be stupid because of the alcohol. If you don't come in, you will sleep outside the door tonight." Xie Yuzhu refused to give in. She walked into the room without looking back and closed the door.

Chaoyang: "My Lord, are you pretending to be drunk?!"

Hua Qinfeng picked up the quilt on the ground: "Just woke up."

Chaoyang shook his head helplessly: "My Lord, I wish you the best."

After entering the room, Yunling took the quilt from Hua Qinfeng's hand, helped Xie Yuzhu to wash up, and then quietly left the room, leaving only Hua Qinfeng and Xie Yuzhu.

Xie Yuzhu was wearing a white inner garment and a white fox cloak given by Hua Qinfeng, and was writing at the desk.

Hua Qinfeng, who had been sitting uneasily in the recliner, thought for a long time but still didn't know how to explain that he was sober. He didn't want to pretend, but Xie Yuzhu spoke softly, gently and considerately to him, and went along with him, which was really rare, and he unknowingly went too far.

What a pity, I still didn’t see any stars.

I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so I decided to follow my own nature and confess directly.

Having made up his mind, he stood up and strode to the table.

The white fox cloak was quietly draped over Xie Yuzhu, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Xie Yuzhu, I was drunk, and I sobered up a little on the way back. Then I smelled your scent, and my mind gradually became clear."

"I ordered the mint scent, and I smell like mint. Mint has the effect of clearing the head." Xie Yuzhu looked up at him, then lowered his head to write.

Hua Qinfeng sniffed, feeling a refreshing smell all around him, and grinned, "Sure enough, there is this smell in the room, it smells really good."

"Your Highness, shouldn't you first explain the red plum blossoms in Taohua Tower?" He put down his pen and looked up at Hua Qinfeng.

"What's there to explain? I just went to buy you a white fox coat." Hua Qinfeng said as a matter of course, and then suggested to Xie Yuzhu, "You can go meet that Hongmei, who is barefoot in the cold weather and wears very little, but is not afraid of the cold at all. You are very afraid of the cold, so ask her how she does it."

Hua Qinfeng had no idea how big a deal it was for a married man to go to a brothel and be questioned by his new wife on the spot, but he was open and honest about it and even suggested that she go to the brothel to find the courtesan.

Xie Yuzhu couldn't help laughing.

A noble prince like him, at the age of 23, should have many wives and concubines, but she was the only princess he was granted marriage with. Looking at his expressionless face when he saw the beauty, and his attitude towards her was just that of a friend and confidant, it seems that he has not yet opened his mind to love.

"Xie Yuzhu, are you not angry anymore?" Seeing her smile, Hua Qinfeng felt relaxed all over.

"I'm not angry anymore." Xie Yuzhu said softly.

Thinking about it carefully, Hua Qinfeng went to the brothel to buy a white fox cloak, in the final analysis, it was for her.

What's the reason to be angry?
