Chapter 5: Fall
"How did you know these secrets?" Bi Yuntao recovered his mind, put down the wine bowl and asked Meng Ruolang. At this time, the sunset was already glowing on the horizon, and the servants below began to light candles one after another.
"Hiccup! Hey hey hey. Hiccup!" Bi Yuntao turned to look at Meng Ruolang with a helpless face, "You can't drink enough. This is only a few bowls of wine. You've already finished it before I even started."
"Hiccup! I'm not going to hide it from you, my father used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he was responsible for interrogating the prisoner alone. Hiccup! Come on, come on, keep drinking, don't stop." After saying that, he picked up the wine bowl and drank. And done. "Go on, burp!" "Bang!"
Bi Yuntao looked at Meng Ruolang who was leaning on the table and was speechless for a while. He curled his lips and said with a look of disgust, "That's it? What will you do when you enter the bridal chamber in the future? You don't even know if your wife coaxes you to drink a few glasses of wine before going out to steal someone." !”
"Isn't this fourth brother? Since you're here, why don't you come over and salute us? Instead, are you here drinking with these shabby people?" The words came and made everyone present frown. One man with a bad temper said, He has already started to roll up his sleeves and shout: "Where can you get this little bastard? He can't speak. If grandpa doesn't teach you a lesson, don't you know why the flowers are so red?!"
Bi Yuntao heard the familiar voice coming from the stairs. He raised his head and glanced at the dumbfounded young man. Then he looked at the stairs and said, "Brother Third Emperor, is it because you, the noble one, are forgetting things? We have already bowed when we met just now, so why should we blame him?" Fourth brother, I don’t understand etiquette?" Bi Yuntao counterattacked directly. He learned the secret about the competition for favor in the harem from Meng Ruolang. After proving his guess, he made up his mind to draw a clear line with the third prince. Before a plan could be formulated, the third prince mobilized his troops to find trouble. But Bi Yuntao doesn't want to fall out at the moment. After all, he is alone, so he just gave him a step up.
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden silence, and the grumpy and stupid man fell to the ground in fear, "Third, third prince?! I, I, I didn't know it was you, I, I, I have a bad mouth, I slap it myself , I was wrong! I was wrong!" As he said that, he slapped himself hard, "I'll make your mouth suck! I'll make your mouth suck!"
"Get out of here, or should I send you to get out?!" Before the person arrived, a cold voice of reproach came over. After hearing this, the man felt relieved and yelled while peeing. He was so quick to answer the words that he was scared to death. The prince took back his orders: "I'll get out! I'll get out!" "Ouch!" "Bang!" "Boom!" The man walked to the stairs in panic, and the third prince kicked the man down.
"You insulted me. I don't care about you. How dare you stand condescendingly in front of me?!"
The eldest prince came down from the third floor at this time and said: "Third brother, today's meeting should be a happy one. You should be merciful and merciful, and control your temper.
But the fourth brother is so happy. It's really sad that you and Ruolang are drinking and chatting here, but you don't call us brothers. But it's better to come early than to come by chance. The three of us brothers haven't drank and composed poems together for a long time. But it's a pity that the Left Prime Minister didn't come today, otherwise the Left Prime Minister could still be a judge with us.
This is... Ruo Lang. It seems that he drank a lot and fell asleep. Otherwise, we could still be together. It's a pity that the second brother is too busy today and has been surrounding Ruo Xi. The conference will be over soon. He probably won't come. After all, his marriage will be announced tomorrow and he will have to discuss the betrothal gift with the left minister in detail. "The eldest prince said politely, and the third prince sat directly on Bi Yuntao's left side regardless of Bi Yuntao's wishes or not, leaving only a seat with his back to the square for the eldest prince. This move made the eldest prince frown slightly. He frowned, but didn't care. He walked to the remaining seats and sat down. At this time, there was a trace of suspicion in his heart.
The two eldest princes sat down, and the servant came up with a jar of wine and filled the wine bowls for several people, "I didn't expect that the fourth brother would drink so boldly now, drinking from a bowl. It seems that he hasn't moved around much in the past few years, and the changes have been quite big. .”
The eldest prince looked gentle and gentle from beginning to end, but these words he said made Bi Yuntao feel a chill in his heart.
The eldest prince is worthy of being someone who can help the emperor in handling government affairs all year round. If the former fourth prince heard these words, he would definitely
If you let down your guard, these words will make you feel that the eldest half-prince values brotherhood.
He also used the excuse that the second prince was busy with his fiancée to get closer to several people. In addition, he drank a lot of wine, so he would definitely say that the second prince only sees women and has no family ties, and so on.
But what the eldest prince didn't expect was that the fourth prince had already changed people and would not fall for the trick.
Every word the eldest prince said sounded like he was calling for an apology or casually talking about family matters to get closer, but Bi Yuntao understood that there were other meanings in these words.
The first is to inform the third prince that during the entire conference, the fourth prince should have been following him on business, but now he is drinking alone with the son of the left prime minister, and may have to break away from his control and establish his own business.
The second is to warn Bi Yuntao not to get too close to Zuo Xiang. If he dares to establish his own family, don't blame him for not caring about brotherhood.
The third is to inform them that the second prince is still wooing the left prime minister, but the left prime minister did not support his daughter today, which means that he has shown his attitude that he does not intend to stand with the second prince and is not satisfied with the second prince as his son-in-law. He is just an obstacle. Because of the emperor's marriage grant, she had to let her daughter get married.
"Haha, eldest brother is joking. This place was chosen by Ruo Lang, and the food and wine are all prepared by Ruo Lang. He likes to drink like this, so naturally I can't bear to spoil his interest."
"Hey, hey, look, Miss Meng is out!" Someone shouted from downstairs, and it also attracted the attention of several of them and looked downstairs.
The lily-colored gauze is as light as clouds, covering the whole body like mist. The light-colored skirt is inlaid with silver ribbons. The water-colored gauze belt is graceful at the waist. She is wearing a violet-painted silk gown with embroidered cuffs. Elegant orchid, the sleeves are slightly shallow and short, the sleeves are slightly shallow and short.
The lotus steps moved lightly, and the white jade wrists were quietly exposed like a white jade rabbit. The crimson agate jade bracelets on the wrists swayed back and forth with the arms, like two butterflies chasing each other, white as snow, red as fire, and thin sand. Complement each other.
The jet-black hair was gently twisted into a bun, with a hollow jade hairpin inserted sideways. The long beaded ornaments trembled down with unwilling and lonely golden steps, swaying between the temples. Her eyebrows were darkened, and her skin was as white as snow. Greasy as fat. The delicate lips are slightly pursed, and the jade face and red lips are eye-catching.
The light-colored Luo Qun is paired with lily-colored tulle and has a refined temperament. The cuffs are embellished with elegant orchids, making it even more fairy-like and charming. Two crimson butterflies danced gracefully, chasing each other cautiously, touching the fairy's fat and ice-like flesh like a dragonfly, as if a little too much would disturb the fairy who was addicted to the mortal world.
Looking at Meng Ruoxi, who seemed to be walking out slowly with fairy spirit downstairs, Bi Yuntao couldn't help but feel obsessed again. Maybe it was influenced by the souls of the former four princes, and his resistance to beauty was almost zero.
He stared straight at the woman downstairs, and his obsessed eyes were gradually covered with possessiveness. From the moment he saw the woman, the movement of drinking wine in his hands never stopped, and the servants kept coming over. When the wine was served, he seemed to be in a daze and didn't realize it. He continued to drink bowl after bowl, as if this could suppress the flames stirred up by the frequent smiles of the fairy downstairs.
