The waterside pavilion was filled with the aroma of wine.
Ban Chun and the others were initially extremely nervous while serving. But seeing Ling Shan and Yu Shiwei, who rarely let their hair down and were laughing and playing merrily, they gradually swallowed back their words of persuasion.
They only hoped that by the time Jun Wuyuan returned in the evening, their mistress would have sobered up.
However, they never expected this.
Jun Wuyuan and Jun Wuzhou, who were supposed to be inspecting the military camp on the outskirts, actually returned!
Not only did they return to Songyuan Garden, but they happened to stumble upon a pavilion full of drunkards!
The servants like Ban Chun were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground in a flurry, not daring to look at the gloomy expressions of the emperor and the Prince of Ding.
In the waterside pavilion, as soon as Jun Wuyuan and Jun Wuzhou entered, they saw Ling Shan and Yu Shiwei with flushed cheeks and misty eyes.
On the contrary, Xiao Mingzhu had a clear look in her eyes. She was holding a wine flask and pouring the wine into her mouth boldly.
Jun Wuyuan: “…”
Jun Wuzhou: “…”
Needless to say, it must be this woman who had led Shan Shan and Shiwei astray!
“Your subject, Xiao Mingzhu, pays respects to Your Majesty and the Prince of Ding.”
Jun Wuyuan stared fixedly at Xiao Mingzhu with his eyes, extremely angry inside. He let out a cold snort.
He quickly walked towards Ling Shan and hugged the wobbly and seemingly boneless girl into his arms. At that moment, his heart was filled with anger, anxiety, and love.
Jun Wuzhou cast a cold glance at Xiao Mingzhu and also quickly walked towards Yu Shiwei.
This was the first time he had seen Yu Shiwei showing such a tipsy and charming demeanor of a young girl.
Xiao Mingzhu did have a good drinking capacity and her eyes were still relatively clear. But she was also completely stunned by the scene in front of her.
She could understand that Jun Wuyuan and Ling Shan were intimate.
After all, they were a proper couple, and she had witnessed their closeness in the palace before, so it was nothing unusual.
However, who could tell her that Yu Shiwei was a beauty bestowed by the emperor in the deep palace? How could the Prince of Ding hug Yu Shiwei right in front of the emperor?
Was the Prince of Ding tired of living?
Or had he become so rebellious that he dared to covet the emperor's woman? If so...
Xiao Mingzhu couldn't help but think more about it, and the alcohol in her body was scared away a bit.
She quickly stole a glance at Jun Wuyuan's expression and saw that his face was gloomy, but his eyes were only fixed on Ling Shan.
Xiao Mingzhu felt a bit of a headache for a moment and didn't know how to deal with the situation.
She regretted that if she had known that drinking a bit of wine could lead to such a life - threatening event, she shouldn't have given in to her craving for alcohol!
Countless dramatic scenarios were playing out in Xiao Mingzhu's mind, and she seemed to have already seen herself with her head chopped off.
“General Xiao is drunk. Someone, take General Xiao down to rest.”
Jun Wuyuan held Ling Shan in his arms and glanced at Xiao Mingzhu indifferently.
He seemed to be smiling, but there were countless dark glints hidden in his charming peach - blossom eyes, which made people tremble in their hearts.
Xiao Mingzhu: “…”
Jun Wuyuan let out a cold snort, suppressing his anger as he carried Ling Shan and took the lead to leave.
Jun Wuzhou also picked up Yu Shiwei. Without any intention of hiding, he gave Xiao Mingzhu an unfriendly look in front of her and then left.
Xiao Mingzhu: “…”
Hey.
Big brother, are you being so bold?
Xiao Mingzhu guessed that her future would not be easy, but at the moment, all her thoughts were attracted by Jun Wuzhou's bold move.
She always felt that something was wrong.
Being too shocked, a lot of the alcohol in Xiao Mingzhu's body had dissipated. As she strolled on the bluestone path, a sudden flash of inspiration crossed her mind.
The maid behind her saw the first female general of the Great Yan suddenly stop. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look more, hiding her curiosity.
That's right.
So that's how it is.
Why didn't she think of it before?
She originally thought that except for the men of the Xiao family, especially the men of the Jun family, all were heartless.
Unexpectedly, Jun Wuyuan and Jun Wuzhou, these two brothers, were like lotus flowers emerging from the mud without being tainted.
Especially Jun Wuyuan, the majestic emperor. Compared with that disgusting guy Jun Wuhao, he was like the difference between heaven and earth.
She never expected that Jun Wuyuan could cherish Ling Shan so much.
This was really good news!
Although Xiao Mingzhu adhered to the belief that if a man was heartless, she would leave.
However, the identities of Ling Shan and Jun Wuyuan were different after all.
Between the emperor and his concubine, under the royal demeanor, it was rather laughable to talk about true feelings and love.
However, Xiao Mingzhu saw something special today.
Good.
She hoped that Jun Wuyuan and the others could always stay like this, only then could they be worthy of being called the best men in the world.
A big smile involuntarily appeared on Xiao Mingzhu's face. She walked forward with her hands behind her back.
Just looking at her back, one could feel her unrestrained and good mood.
—
“Shan Shan, don't move. We haven't arrived yet... Shan Shan, be good...”
On the bluestone path, Jun Wuyuan carried Ling Shan, and their two figures seemed to be dancing.
Ban Chun and the others followed from afar. By accident, they caught a glimpse of this scene and felt their faces flush. They quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look more.
Not only them, but even Jun Wuyuan felt his face heat up.
The originally drunk but obedient Ling Shan, perhaps because the alcohol was finally taking effect, started to make a fuss after walking for a while.
Her boneless little hands seemed to be on fire, constantly brushing back and forth on his shoulders, neck, and chest.
It was so easy for her to ignite a raging fire in Jun Wuyuan's body, making him feel parched.
Especially after this sweet torture, Ling Shan still wasn't satisfied. Her fingers then started to tug at her own clothes like adding fuel to the fire.
Her fair shoulders were suddenly exposed in front of Jun Wuyuan's eyes, exuding a charming and alluring air.
Jun Wuyuan's eyes darkened immediately, and his Adam's apple rolled quickly.
He had to tighten his hands and hold her even tighter. He endured so much that the veins on his forehead were bulging.
With great difficulty, he coaxed her all the way softly, and finally they arrived at the room.
Jun Wuyuan was sweating profusely. He quietly let out a sigh of relief and placed Ling Shan, who had been constantly shouting that she was hot with her clothes wide open, on the couch.
He asked someone to fetch water, prepare clothes, hangover soup and other things. After a busy while, he finally managed to take care of the little drunkard.
After coaxing her to really fall asleep, Jun Wuyuan finally had the time to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
Looking at Ling Shan on the couch with her blushing face, sleeping soundly, he thought for the first time that wine was not a good thing.
“Don't drink so much next time. Do you understand? If I'm not by your side...”
Jun Wuyuan sat by the couch and couldn't help but poke Ling Shan's nose with his finger as he chattered on.
However, unexpectedly, Ling Shan, who was drunk and asleep, suddenly opened her eyes and murmured something in a low voice.
A chill ran down Jun Wuyuan's back.
Subconsciously, he remembered the sleep - talk he had heard last time, and his eyes gradually darkened.
“Shan Shan...”
Jun Wuyuan stared at the moist corner of her eye where his finger had landed, and a tinge of bitterness welled up in his heart.
