The aftereffect of peach blossom wine was very strong, and the Third Prince drank it hastily, almost choking. He frowned, coughed twice, and then looked up at Xie Xi: "Second brother, it's your turn."

"it is good."

Xie Xi nodded, picked up the big bowl in front of him without changing his expression, and was about to drink it.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound. The third prince was already drunk and fell on the table.

Xie Xi: “…”

The Third Prince’s Wife: “…” She already knew this would be the outcome.

Next, if she remembered correctly, the Third Prince would also be talking nonsense.

The Third Prince's wife sighed inwardly, she couldn't stop it, she couldn't stop it at all.

Xie Yue was startled, and quickly reached out and patted his third brother on the shoulder: "Third brother? Wake up? You...you just poured out a bowl of wine?"

Not only was Xie Yue shocked, but even Bai Qiuyuan, Meng Huaijun, and Zhai Chengwen who were standing beside him did not expect that the Third Prince's alcohol tolerance would be so low.

After all, the Third Prince had agreed to compete in drinking with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he really couldn't drink much, how did the Third Prince have the courage to say those words?

The Sixth Prince subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the Third Prince's wife.

But the Third Prince's wife looked helpless.

Xie Yue: "Brother Crown Prince, Brother Three are already drunk, so do we still want to continue this drinking contest?"

Xie Xi raised his hand and rubbed his brows: "Forget it, Third Prince is drunk, let the kitchen bring the sobering soup over first."

"That's fine."

Xie Yue nodded and said, "Third brother can't drink, but there are still a few of us who can drink with the crown prince brother!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone saw the Third Prince suddenly raise his head. His face was red, his eyes were hazy, and he stuttered as he spoke: "Who, who said, who said that this prince was drunk?"

"This prince is not drunk!"

"How could this little bit of wine possibly make this prince drunk?"

Xie Yue: ???

"How about, Third Brother, would you like to drink another bowl?"

"Row!"

The third prince shook his head and agreed. He stood up shakily and walked towards Xie Xi's position.

Xie Xi sat there without moving, looking at the Third Prince with a slightly surprised expression on his face, really not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Second brother."

The Third Prince placed one hand on Xie Xi's right shoulder, stared down at the bowl of wine in his hand, and sneered: "I just can't understand why the Fourth Prince suddenly fell from power, but you are not hurt at all?"

"You and the fourth child are both the queen's sons. Now that the fourth child has been sent to the clan residence, he will never be allowed to step out of the house again. Why are you still interested in holding a birthday party for a little Liang in the mansion?"

"Second brother, I really didn't expect that you are such a cruel person..."

Hearing this, without waiting for the Crown Prince's response, Xie Yue hurried over and grabbed his third brother's sleeve, "Third brother, what are you talking about!?"

Bai Qiuyuan, Meng Huaijun and Zhai Chengwen looked at each other.

"nonsense?"

The Third Prince suddenly burped and sneered, "Isn't it because Second Prince is so cruel that he even abandoned his own brother? How dare you be the Crown Prince of Li?"

Xie Yue's eyes suddenly widened:!!!

"No, Third Brother, you——"

Listening to the questioning of the third brother, Xie Xi remained calm and said in a light tone: "It was the father who locked up the fourth brother in the clan residence. If the third brother wants to stand up for the fourth brother, then the third brother should go to the palace to ask the father for mercy."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere froze instantly.

……

Upon seeing this, the Third Prince's wife simply turned around and pretended that she had not noticed the Third Prince's appearance at all.

The Seventh Princess of Fan State asked in a low voice: "Third Prince Consort, are you really not going to care?"

The Third Prince's wife sighed helplessly and shook her head, "I can't control it. Let him be."

She knew that the Third Prince had always wanted to compete for that position, but he knew how much his father valued the Crown Prince. How could he get the position of Crown Prince just by wanting to?

What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the legitimate son of the emperor, so it is natural for Xie Xi to become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
