Chapter 479: Prince Yong drowns his sorrows in wine

Prince Yong looked at His Majesty and Concubine Tao from afar. The two of them were talking and laughing, and were intimate. The warm and sweet scene deeply hurt Prince Yong's heart. He slowly withdrew his gaze, his eyes became dim, and an indescribable melancholy and loss surged in his heart.

Prince Yong silently picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and drank it all, as if it was not a spicy wine but plain water. One glass after another, he drank faster and faster, the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth and soaked the front of his clothes, but he was completely unaware.

Soon, Prince Yong began to see blurry double images in front of his eyes, his head became dizzy, and the strong drunkenness surged towards him like a tide. The guard who had been waiting beside him finally couldn't help but speak out to dissuade him: "Your Highness, you can't drink anymore! You are still injured, and drinking like this is really harmful to your health."

Prince Yong was slightly startled, and the action in his hand paused. He slowly put down the wine glass, and raised a self-deprecating smile: "Injury to the body? Haha... What does it matter? Even if I am really injured to the point of being completely broken, who would feel sorry for me?"

After saying this, Prince Yong picked up the wine glass, picked up the wine pot, and stumbled towards He Linzhang.

"Royal brother, come, let me offer you a glass of wine." Prince Yong was trembling as he was about to pour wine for He Linzhang. Eunuch Zhang hurried forward to take the wine jug and filled his majesty's glass.

"I still have to take care of the imperial concubine tonight, so I'll just drink this cup with you. You can't drink more." He Linzhang clinked glasses with Prince Yong and drank it down with his head tilted back.

Seeing a drop of wine flowing from the corner of his mouth, Tao Yanyan picked up a handkerchief and wiped it for him. His movements were natural and smooth, which deeply hurt King Yong's eyes.

Prince Yong's expression became more and more depressed: "Brother, you have been loved since you were a child. Father loves you, mother loves you, and now, the imperial concubine also loves you. I am really envious."

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes and said, "Father and mother love you, too. You and I have the best relationship as brothers, and I love you as my younger brother. You are injured, so don't drink too much. Drink a bowl of sobering soup and go to bed early."

Prince Yong smiled but did not leave. Instead, he sat down next to He Linzhang and held the emperor's arm.

"Brother, you know, I don't really care about the love of my father and mother, but..." Prince Yong paused and glanced at Tao Yanyan: "But the love of the beauty, I really envy it."

Tao Yanyan was close by and heard King Yong's words clearly. He couldn't help but frown.

Why did she feel that Prince Yong was a little out of control tonight?

She looked towards He Linzhang and saw that she was really jealous.

"Your Highness, you are joking. You are naturally loved by the princess, and soon you will be loved by Princess Qinghe as well. Others must envy you." Tao Yanyan said with a smile.

Prince Yong looked at Tao Yanyan steadily and said, "But they are not someone after all."

He Linzhang clenched his fists and frowned deeply: "You are drunk, come, help Prince Yong down."

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly took a eunuch to help the man, but was pushed away by Prince Yong.

"Royal brother, I am not drunk, not drunk. I just feel upset and uncomfortable." Prince Yong grabbed He Linzhang's arm and said, "Royal brother, since childhood, you always said that you and I are the closest. Have you ever thought about why?"

He Linzhang didn't want to talk too much with a drunkard, so he gave Eunuch Zhang a look and asked him to take the man away.

Unexpectedly, the drunken Prince Yong was very strong. He hugged He Linzhang and whispered in his ear: "The reason why we are so compatible is that what you and I like is almost the same."

Tao Yanyan turned pale with fear after hearing these words. To be honest, Tao Yanyan felt that Prince Yong was a pretty good person. He had just given him a fine thousand-year-old ginseng some time ago, and his first pot of gold was earned from Prince Yong.

So when Prince Yong said that the things he liked were similar to those of Your Majesty, Tao Yanyan became a little worried, fearing that He Linzhang would think too much. What if He Linzhang was thinking about the throne and mistakenly believed that Prince Yong was concerned about the country? Wouldn’t Prince Yong be doomed here?

"Your Majesty, Prince Yong may be drunk, and he won't remember what he said and did after he sobers up. Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart, okay?"

He Linzhang took a deep breath. He knew that he shouldn't bother with a drunkard. He patted Tao Yanyan's hand and said, "Go back and rest first. I'll settle him down and come back to accompany you."

He Linzhang really didn't want Prince Yong to look at his concubine so closely, so he wanted to hide her.

Tao Yanyan also felt that it would be bad if he stayed any longer in case he heard something else, so he took Qingfeng's hand and stood up to leave.

Watching the beauty go away, Prince Yong chuckled: "Brother, don't you think it's strange? It was me who met her first that year."

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and fell asleep on He Linzhang's shoulder.

He Linzhang took several deep breaths before suppressing his dissatisfaction: "Help him go back and give him a few more bowls of sobering soup."

Taking advantage of being drunk to come to him and complain about his grievances? Taking advantage of being drunk to almost confess his shame in front of him? He Linzhang's eyes darkened, and he kept repeating in his mind: "half brother, half brother", and then he suppressed the thought of tying up Prince Yong on the spot.

Prince Yong's guards had long been frightened by their own prince's actions. It was not until the eunuch beside His Majesty sent the prince back to the tent that they dared to approach and take care of him.

Tao Yanyan was still a little uneasy after returning to the tent. She washed up and lay down, but the emperor didn't come. She felt a little sleepy, so she went to sleep first.

In the middle of the night, Tao Yanyan felt that his breathing was a little difficult and he felt pain on his lips, so he opened his eyes.

"Well... Your Majesty, it's too late, you should go to bed early." She spoke intermittently and couldn't help trying to avoid He Linzhang's kiss.

But He Linzhang kissed her even harder, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Hiss——" He Linzhang felt pain on his lips and moved away slightly: "You bit me?" His tone was pitiful, like an accusation.

Tao Yanyan said speechlessly: "I am pregnant with two babies, but Your Majesty won't let me rest properly. What is Your Majesty trying to do?" After saying that, she looked at his lip that she had bitten: "Fortunately, it didn't damage your handsomeness."

He Linzhang: “…”

He gently rubbed her cheek: "I was just mad at Prince Yong. He actually...actually said that he met Yan Yan first."

Tao Yanyan held He Linzhang's face with both hands and spoke softly: "But Tao Yanyan chose to come to your majesty."

After the original owner saved Prince Yong, nothing happened between the two. The original owner chose to enter the palace and had no chance to be with Prince Yong.

Tao Yanyan's words instantly made He Linzhang, who had been irritated by Prince Yong all night, lose his temper. He lay down and hugged her in his arms: "Yes, Yanyan has come to my side. You are mine, and you will always be."

On the second day, Prince Yong gradually came to his senses. After being reminded by his guards, he slowly remembered his reckless behavior and felt extremely regretful.
