Chapter 144: Drinking Contest

If the King of Yan was so easy to deal with, she wouldn't have to worry about it!

Ling Jingshu glanced at Ling Jingyan, and changed the words on her lips to: "What cousin Yan said makes sense. I will try to go out less in the future. If I really can't avoid it, I will just ignore it like today."

She smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "I have been to the Prince's Mansion for several times, but this is the first time I stay for lunch. I wonder how happy my aunt will be when I go back!"

Yes!

Sun was eager to climb the towering tree of the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.

Jiang smiled knowingly, and her originally depressed mood was relieved a lot: "Forget it, the world is big and eating is the most important. Put aside any problems first and fill your stomach first."

Ling Jingshu agreed with a smile.

Needless to say, the chefs in the Prince's Mansion are very skilled and the dishes are very delicate and delicious. After half a day, everyone was indeed hungry, and they had a delicious meal.

Ling Jingshu and the other two were full, and they told a few maids to sit down and eat.

After everyone had filled their stomachs, the palace maids came in to clear the table. Ling Jingshu and the others returned to the guest room and waited.

This wait lasted for more than an hour.

Even Jiang, who was the calmest, could not help but get impatient and frowned, saying, "It's already 3:45 pm, why haven't Xiao and the two princes had lunch yet?"

Even if they had a few drinks, it shouldn't take so long!

Ling Jingshu also frowned slightly and whispered, "Perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan got excited about drinking, so they were delayed for a long time."

...

Excited? Getting angry is more like getting angry.

Young people, it's inevitable that their blood will boil.

The cold and steady Crown Prince and the thoughtful Prince of Yan were no exception.

At first, they exchanged sharp words, but after two pots of wine, they gradually got angry. I don't know who thought the wine glass was too small, so he ordered people to change the bowl, and then they drank one bowl after another without stopping.

The Prince of Yan was good at eating, drinking and having fun, so his alcohol tolerance was naturally not a problem. The taciturn Crown Prince was not inferior to the Prince of Yan. The two of them competed in drinking for more than an hour, but it was hard to tell who was better.

"Ayao, look at you, your face is red from drinking. If you can't drink, don't try to be strong." The Prince of Yan thought he was sober and teased, but in fact his face was flushed and his eyes were distracted.

The Crown Prince was not much better than the Prince of Yan. He almost couldn't speak clearly, but he refused to admit defeat: "Sixth Uncle is joking again. How can I blush? I can drink ten or eight more bowls without any problem. Wang Tong, come and pour wine for me!"

The dignified guard commander became a wine pourer. Wang Tong could only shake his head and smile bitterly in his heart, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Your Highness, you'd better stop drinking. If you drink more, you will really get drunk..."

Before he finished speaking, the Crown Prince glared at him.

Wang Tong had to shut up and pour wine honestly.

Ling Xiao, who had already filled his stomach, was also distressed as he sat aside and listened to the two people drinking. He had said a lot of words to persuade the two not to drink, but it was useless.

He couldn't persuade anyone, and he couldn't leave early, so he could only sit and wait.

"Come, drink this bowl!"

"Drink it!"

Then there was a heroic gurgling sound.

How long will this drink last? Ah Shu and her cousin and cousin's wife have been waiting outside!

Ling Xiao couldn't wait any longer, and coughed and said, "Your Highnesses are in high spirits today, I don't know when they can drink to their heart's content. I can't drink, and sitting here will only ruin your interest in drinking. Why don't you let me leave first, and your Highnesses drink slowly."

"Not appropriate!"

I don't know what the King of Yan and the Crown Prince thought, but they refused in unison.

The King of Yan rushed to say, "How can you leave the table halfway? You are here today to be a witness for both of us. Let's see who can drink more."

But, who can drink more has nothing to do with him?

Ling Xiao sighed silently in his heart and agreed helplessly.

...

Another half an hour passed.

There were already seventy, eighty or ninety empty wine bottles beside the table legs.

The Crown Prince lay on the table, and the King of Yan's eyes lit up and laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha, with your little alcohol tolerance, you dare to compete with me. You have experienced my strength today..."

Before he finished speaking, he burped for a long time. Then he lay on the table and didn't move.

Wang Tong had expected such a scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

Drunk like this!

When the news reached the ears of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, he, the commander of the guards, didn't know how to explain it.

"Commander Wang, can I leave now?" A clear young man's voice sounded in Wang Tong's ears.

Wang Tong calmed down and smiled apologetically at Ling Xiao: "Of course. Mr. Ling, please do as you please. I still have to take care of His Highness, so I won't see you off."

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and was helped back to the guest room by the servant.

Ling Jingshu and the other two, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, immediately surrounded him.

"Ah Xiao, have you drunk too?" Ling Jingshu smelled the strong smell of alcohol and couldn't help but frowned and said angrily: "You are drinking medicine to apply to your eyes, how can you drink alcohol."

Ling Xiao laughed dumbly: "Ah Shu, you misunderstood. It was His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Prince of Yan who were drinking, and I didn't drink a drop of alcohol. I smelled of alcohol because I was sitting next to them. I don't know how many pots of wine they drank, so I couldn't help but smell of alcohol."

Ling Jingyan was shocked: "You didn't drink a single sip, but you smelled of alcohol just sitting next to them. So how much alcohol did they drink?"

Ling Xiao thought about it seriously, and answered uncertainly: "About a dozen pots! Anyway, when I left, they were both drunk and lying on the table."

Everyone: "..."

Thinking of the cold and self-sustaining Crown Prince, his face flushed with drunkenness, I inexplicably felt a little funny.

Ling Jingshu raised the corner of her lips, but soon restrained her smile and whispered: "We have stayed in the Prince's Mansion for long enough today, and it's time to leave."

Lest the Crown Princess get the news and feel unhappy, and come to trouble them.

Jiang understood and nodded immediately: "Ashu is right, let's go now."

Everyone didn't bother to say goodbye to the Crown Princess, and hurriedly left the Crown Prince's Mansion. After getting on the carriage, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Jingshu thought for a moment and asked seriously: "Cousin, cousin Yan, I have something to ask for."

Jiang laughed: "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to use the word 'ask' between us."

Ling Jingshu pulled the corners of her lips, but there was not much smile in her eyes: "I can't hide what happened to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan today from my aunt. However, I can't say too much. When my aunt asks, I'll tell her!"

Jiang and Ling Jingyan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
