Chapter 288 Alcohol Allergy
Chapter 288 Alcohol Allergy
"Brother Jiu, who are you talking to?" Feng Suo asked from the side.
Zhou Chang turned his head, but Prince Yi did not move.
The sounds of people talking, the clinking of glasses, the aroma of various dishes all began to become extremely clear.
Feng Suo's inquiring gaze was like two searchlights.
Zhou Chang knocked her head twice, but it was no use. It seemed that she only had consciousness, and her body still belonged to Prince Yi Fengming.
On the other hand, Prince Rong was still talking to Emperor Lin about Prince Yi's marriage.
Zhou Chang glanced at "Yuan Qi" again.
"Yuan Qi" laughed more and more vividly.
Feng Ming chuckled and said to "Yuan Qi": "Don't worry, I won't delay you and Wen Fei. I know you two are a perfect match."
"Ninth brother, you are drunk, drink less." While speaking, Prince Rong did not forget to advise Prince Yi.
"I'm not drunk." Feng Ming tilted his head back and put his lips to the wine jug, but there was no more wine in the jug.
Zhou Chang took the opportunity to look in the direction of Emperor Shoulin.
Emperor Lin was also looking at Prince Yi with a frown on his face, and seemed to be seriously considering the feasibility of this move...
It is indeed beneath the prince's status to marry a merchant's daughter, but the legitimate daughter of a wealthy businessman can be considered an exception. If he does not marry her as his principal wife, it would be more appropriate to make her a concubine.
Prince Rong was more like a worm in the Emperor's stomach: "What your father is worried about is just her identity as a merchant's daughter. This is not a simple matter. Now that Yuan Yu has been granted a title, she is no longer an ordinary civilian. If you raise Miss Yuan's status, make her a princess, and grant her marriage, then who can say she is not worthy of the prince?"
Emperor Lin also thought it made sense, so he asked Prince Yi, "Ming'er, are you really interested in that Miss Yuan?"
"No, absolutely not." Feng Ming was talking excitedly to "Yuan Qi", but he did not delay in denying it.
After denying it, he did not forget to give "Yuan Qi" a comforting smile: "Look, I told you not to worry, I will not delay you and Wen Fei."
After saying this, "Yuan Qi" suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the hallucination had disappeared, Feng Ming should be able to sober up a little.
Feng Ming's drunken eyes were focused on the food on the table in front of him, or to be more precise, the gold, silver, jade bowls and other items. His two arms began to move around. He actually hadn't forgotten that everything on the table had to be "packed up and taken away."
"There's a roar..."
Before Zhou Chang had time to feel "relieved", the wine jugs, plates and bowls on the table had been knocked to the ground.
"Oh, Brother Jiu, you are really drunk." Feng Suo used all his strength to hold Prince Yi, "Brother Jiu, what did you say?"
Zhou Chang knew it was Feng Suo who was speaking, but Feng Ming ignored him.
"Ninth brother, sit still, I'll help you..." Feng Suo pouted like a little adult and really started to help Zhou Chang clear the dishes on the table.
"Brother Jiu, please don't do it." Feng Suo was not having an easy time either.
Feng Ming felt hot and thirsty, and he grabbed around with his hands. The silver wine pot on his table was empty, and no one brought any more wine for a long time. He saw that the wine on Prince Rong's table was almost untouched, so he went over and grabbed some.
"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to ask such a direct question. My ninth brother is still a young man, how can he have the nerve to admit it in public?" Prince Rong was still lobbying Emperor Lin and didn't pay any attention.
"Brother Jiu, you can't drink anymore." Feng Suo was so anxious that he wanted to cry, but he couldn't snatch it from Feng Ming.
Feng Ming drank the wine in one gulp.
Zhou Chang just realized that the wine tasted different from the "drink" in her previous wine jug, it was spicy and hot and burned her tongue, and her whole consciousness suddenly felt numb and twitching as if she was electrocuted.
Is this an alcohol allergy?
but……
Zhou Chang clearly saw that Prince Yi had no other symptoms except for his flushed face and hot flushes.
If it was an alcohol allergy, she would no longer be in the body.
What's more, if it's an allergy, what's the point of those two bottles of wine I drank earlier?
Zhou Chang couldn't move, his consciousness began to go numb, but he could hear the voice of Prince Rong still admonishing him earnestly: "Ninth brother, don't be embarrassed to admit it. I saw it all that day, and if it wasn't for this, why did you help the Yuan family again and again? You are drunk, there is no need to speak, as your brother, I know what you mean, and I can do anything for you."
Zhou Chang couldn't move, and Feng Ming was like a piece of wood.
Behind the curtain, Concubine Shun Tian also echoed her son, Prince Rong, saying, "If our Prince Yi is really interested, then shouldn't he think about who would be the best person to raise Miss Yuan's status?"
Concubine Yi Gu had never liked Concubine Shun Tian, but at this moment they suddenly understood each other: "This is not difficult. There are many senior members in the royal family. The Jiang family, with two marquises and three generals in one family, is the most prominent family. What's more, there is the old princess."
When mentioning "one family, two marquises and three generals", Emperor Lin thought of another person: "I haven't seen Jiang Qin for a long time. I wonder how he is doing now?"
Jiang Qin was over seventy years old and had retired long ago, so he was naturally not present.
His younger brother, Wu'an Hou Jiang Rui, was about to stand up to reply, but he was already over seventy years old and had drunk too much, so his movements were a little slow.
His son Jiang Meng stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My uncle is in good health. Except that he doesn't eat as much as before due to his age, everything is fine."
Jiang Meng should be in his forties or fifties, but his hair and beard are black, his face is fair and wrinkle-free, and he looks like he is in his early thirties. He is gentle, elegant, and has a long beard, which makes him look like a child of an aristocratic family. He does not have the rough and bulky look of ordinary military men.
Emperor Lin nodded with relief: "That's good, that's good. It's normal for people to not be able to eat that much when they get older."
Behind the pearl curtain, Concubine Yi Gu asked Jiang Meng affectionately, "General Jiang, I wonder if the old princess is in good health?"
Jiang Menglue bowed his hands, aloof and self-respecting without losing etiquette: "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Yi. My mother's health has improved a lot these days."
Zhou Chang didn't know whether it was the halo effect in front of him or he thought the person was ordinary because he didn't see him clearly just now.
No matter what, it seems now that Jiang Meng is really a young man from a noble family.
"You are all nearly 70 years old, so you must take good care of yourself." Concubine Yi Gu's tone was noble and friendly. "Princess Pingning is a blessed person. She will definitely recover after the New Year."
Princess Pingning is the daughter of the eldest daughter of the previous Emperor Gaozong of Lin State. She is the cousin of the current Emperor Fengxun of Lin State. She married Wu'an Hou Jiang Rui and gave birth to a son, Jiang Meng.
She is 68 years old in actual age and 69 in lunar age. She will be 70 years old next year. Unfortunately, she fell seriously ill three years ago and has been bedridden ever since. Several treatments have not been very effective, so she has not been seen in public for a long time.
Today, only Jiang Rui and his son Jiang Meng entered the palace to attend the night banquet.
Then, Concubine Yi, Gu, whispered a few words to Emperor Lin.
So the Emperor asked, "Marquis Wu'an, if Princess Pingning were to adopt a merchant's daughter as her adopted daughter, would she be willing?"
