bad

After leaving the palace, the carriage went directly back to the palace to pick up Xu Jingluan, and headed for Suzaku Street.

The scale of Qingjia Building is small, there are only a few private rooms on the upper floor, and people from the bottom line have already lined up in another alley, and they all come to buy snacks to take away.

There was no need for the shopkeeper to greet him, Xu Boyuan took the two of them upstairs, Xu Jingluan was familiar with the way at first glance, and the wooden stairs were creaked by her stepping on them.She took the lead, pushed open the door of the private room at the end of the corridor, and waved to Ying Zhou, "Come quickly."

Ying Zhou quickened his pace and walked over, entered the door with Xu Jingluan one after the other, and asked curiously, "Do you come here often?"

"Hmm," Xu Jingluan pushed open the window, outside was the moat of the capital city, and the night wind was blowing in gently, blowing her hair, "It's only a few hundred times!"

What she said was serious, Ying Zhou couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt a little envious, and I couldn't say what she was envious of, maybe she was simply envious of her daily food and beauty, envious of her being born in this vast world, accustomed to seeing the prosperity of the world, or maybe she was envious of her With Xu Boyuan's love and care, she was able to retain this innocence until now.Compared to Lou Liuyi, she really lived a very happy life.

Xiao Er knocked on the door and came in. Xu Jingluan seemed to know him very well, she opened her mouth and called "A Xu", and casually reported the names of a bunch of dishes.A Xu wrote them down one by one, and added tea to the three of them, "Princess Shizi, please wait a moment, the little one is going to pass the dishes!"

"Another pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing!"

"okay--"

Xu Jingluan put her foot on Ying Zhou's shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, I'm happy today, drink some wine with me."

Ying Zhou faltered, "I've never drank before..."

He has drank some fairy wine, it is bland and tasteless, and the wine in the world is said to be very strong, so he doesn't know if he will get drunk.

Xu Jingluan couldn't help but say, "It's okay, it's okay, my brother is still there when I'm drunk! The sweet-scented osmanthus brew here is unique in the capital, you must try it!"

She praised her so enthusiastically that Ying Zhou was too embarrassed to refuse.The dishes were served quickly, with six dishes, one soup and two cages of dim sum. The table made of ancient wood was decorated in various colors, which was pleasing to the eye, and it was already enjoyable before it started.

The steamed sea bass is neatly marked with three strips of knife work. Ying Zhou picked up a chopstick and dipped it in the clear soup underneath. The fish is tender and refreshing, the soup is delicious, and there is no extra fishy smell. It is really delicious. The cook did not give up.

Xu Jingluan poured him a full glass, smiled and said, "Try."

The nectar was bright yellow, Ying Zhou took it and sipped it.

The sweet-scented osmanthus wine is sweet and refreshing. The soft taste of the wine and the aroma of the sweet-scented osmanthus are perfectly integrated.

Ying Zhou's eyes brightened, he took another sip, and sighed, "It's delicious."

"Hahaha, our wine is naturally delicious!"

"...your family?"

"Yeah, didn't my brother tell you?"

Xu Jingluan poured him another cup, blinked and said, "Qingjialou is my concubine's dowry, and it is one of the betrothal gifts prepared by my brother for my future sister-in-law."

"Well……"

Ying Zhou sneaked a glance at Xu Boyuan, who was drinking tea calmly, as if he didn't hear what they were talking about.

"Don't you drink?" Ying Zhou asked.

Xu Boyuan raised his eyelids, "Just drink it."

Xu Jingluan propped her head and said cheerfully: "My brother thinks this wine is too light and tasteless, so don't worry about him, we'll drink ours."

Ying Zhou lowered his head and took another sip, the aroma of the wine lingered on his tongue, thinking that if the taste is still light, what kind of wine is strong?

"Come on, let me offer you a toast." Xu Jingluan was very heroic, holding up the jade cup, "I haven't had time to thank you properly, this cup first thank you for breaking the curse for me."

She tilted her neck and drank it in one gulp, Ying Zhou blinked and followed suit.Xu Jingluan immediately refilled it for him.

"This is the second cup, I respect you and Xiaobai, thank you for catching Concubine Lou this time, otherwise we don't know how long we will be deceived by her!"

Mentioning Concubine Lou, Ying Zhou paused.Probably in the eyes of Xu Jingluan and the others, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a monster, and if he attacked Xu Boyuan and Xu Li, even if he was executed, he deserved it.But as far as he is concerned, Lou Liuyi is not that sinful. She left room for two shots against Xu Boyuan. It was just an enchantment, and she didn't really want to take his life. She was just acting from her own standpoint. That's all.

"Drink quickly!" Xu Jingluan urged.

Ying Zhou smiled helplessly and drank another cup.

Xu Jingluan was in high spirits, pouring cup after cup, and when the last pot of sweet-scented osmanthus brewed was bottomed out, the reason she used was so far-fetched that she couldn't understand it.

"Come on, with this cup, I wish my brother can find me a good sister-in-law as soon as possible!"

Her drinking capacity was the same as that of Xu Boyuan, and she came from Princess Yu, who was born in a family of generals. It would be no problem to drink a jar or two of sweet wine made with sweet-scented osmanthus.

But Ying Zhou was drinking alcohol for the first time, and after drinking half a jar, his face was already flushed, his speech was a little blurred, only a pair of eyes were terribly bright.

"Okay," Xu Boyuan interrupted when Xu Jingluan was about to ask for a second pot of wine, "don't drink too much."

Xu Jingluan curled her lips, "That's just how much."

Xu Boyuan glanced at Ying Zhou, "He's going to be drunk."

Xu Jingluan's eyes widened, "Can osmanthus rice be drunk too?"

Ordinary people can't, but Ying Zhou is almost done, although it's not a mess, but...

Xu Boyuan waved his hands in front of Ying Zhou, "Can I still go?"

Ying Zhou still had his mind, but his body was so weak that he had nowhere to exert his strength. He stood up staggeringly with his arms propped on the armrest, "I can..."

As soon as the voice fell, it slipped, and the whole person fell back to sit again.

"Hmm..." He didn't seem to react, he stared blankly ahead and blinked.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha..." Seeing his stupid face, Xu Jingluan laughed unceremoniously.

Xu Boyuan raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to him, "Shall I help you?"

Ying Zhou rested on his arm, using his strength to stand firm, with a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, nodded to Xu Boyuan: "Thank you."

"Tsk tsk," Xu Jingluan said, "it's too cute when you're drunk."

Xu Boyuan glanced at her, "Let's go."

"Oh." Xu Jingluan stuck out her tongue.

Although Ying Zhou's capacity for alcohol is poor, the quality of his wine is surprisingly good, he lifts his feet when told to, and stops when told to stop.Since he came to the palace, he has been living in the guest room in the outer courtyard, separated from Xu Jingluan's inner courtyard by a whole garden and water pavilion.

Xu Jingluan separated from the two, Xu Boyuan sent Ying Zhou back to his room, and ordered his servants to cook him hangover soup, and then asked him to fetch hot water.

Ying Zhou was sitting motionless at first, and the maid was about to wipe his face with a hot towel, but he suddenly frowned, shook his head and avoided, "Don't touch me."

Xiao Bai lazily yawned on the window sill, smelling the smell of alcohol on Ying Zhou's body from a distance and showing disgust.Ying Zhou narrowed his eyes, half-spread on the couch, "Where's Southeast? Let him come."

"This is Prince Yu's Mansion, not Buzhou Mountain, Southeast is not there." Xu Boyuan took the cotton towel from the maid and sat beside Ying Zhou, "Don't move, I'll wipe your face."

"Hmm..." Ying Zhou opened his eyes, and closed them again after seeing clearly that it was Xu Boyuan.

The hot air touched the skin, it was very warm and comfortable, Ying Zhou Shouyong hummed twice, Xu Boyuan wiped his face again, unbuttoned his collar a little, and even covered his neck.

After finishing all this, he threw the cotton towel to the maid, "You go down first, I'll just come here."

"Yes Yes."

The maid was very surprised that the prince actually served the guest to wash himself——

Both of them had a handsome and suave appearance, sitting on the same couch, Ying Zhou's head was already resting on Xu Boyuan's shoulder.It was clearly two men, but just looking at it like this, there was a wonderful match, the maid blushed and left in a hurry.

Xu Boyuan patted Ying Zhou on the shoulder, "Go to bed and sleep."

"Hmm..." Ying Zhou turned sideways, his head slid off the pillow, and his forehead rested on Xu Boyuan's shoulder.

Xu Boyuan was taken aback for a moment, his body subconsciously stiffened from his shoulders, he is not the type to get along with others, he should reject such intimate actions...

He sighed, "Get up and go to bed."

Ying Zhou rubbed his forehead on his shoulder, raised his face, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Suddenly lost on his shoulders, Xu Boyuan glanced at Ying Zhou's slightly red forehead, "Say it."

Ying Zhou blinked his eyes to make himself look clearer. In fact, he was not drunk, so he was not particularly sober, but he was able to distinguish the priorities of the matter, "What will happen to the nine-tailed fox?"

Xu Boyuan said: "The emperor cannot tolerate her."

Ying Zhou shook his head, and accidentally hiccupped because of too much movement, "You can't kill her."

Jiuweihushou and Tianqi, even if Ying Zhou wanted to kill her, it would not be easy.

Xu Boyuan raised his eyebrows, "You want to help her?"

Ying Zhou nodded seriously, "Can you let her go?"

Xu Boyuan remained silent, without comment.It doesn't matter to him where Lou Liuyi goes, it's just that the emperor's test will not be easy.

"I'll go find out what the emperor wants," Xu Boyuan said, "Go to sleep first."

His ability to say this already showed his willingness to help.Ying Zhou thought of Xu Jingluan's words, Xu Boyuan looked a little indifferent, but he was actually a good person, someone who could be treated with tenderness by him must be very happy, such as Xu Jingluan.

He squinted his eyes and smirked, his eyes were as bright as falling stars, Xu Boyuan looked away, "Go to sleep early."

"it is good."

I wanted to tell Xu Boyuan about the disorder of the golden dragon's qi and the dragon's veins, but my thoughts were not clear, and the alcohol made me sleepy, and my eyelids couldn't hold it anymore.

——Let’s talk about it tomorrow, Ying Zhou thought, anyway, Xu Boyuan is here, so he won’t run away.

The author has something to say: the plane is 4 hours late, and I am still on the highway, and I will get motion sickness after writing 500 words in the car... Let’s be like this today QAQ
