Chapter 92: A Man with Three Parts Drunk

Chapter 92: A Man with Three Parts Drunk

Xiao Ce continued to ask, “Do we have enough people?”

Night Cat nodded and said, “Prince, this time, Uncle Zhong, following your orders, brought another group of well-trained excellent spies. It’s enough!”

Xiao Ce had also heard from Lin Zhong that the Prince of Zhenguo was worried about him and had sent another batch of well-trained spies.

It really was maddening to compare people. His cheap Emperor father was in the Capital all day, scheming how to kill him.

While his Imperial Uncle, the eighth prince, protected him with everything he had.

“Good. Tell those spies, if they lose track while watching, it’s fine! But they must not be discovered!”

As he said this, Xiao Ce gave his pants a little shake. “Alright, go on and get back to work.”

Night Cat cupped his hands in salute.

After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he switched back to a drunken state in one second.

“Don’t hold me, This Prince is not drunk! Let’s go… drink…”

Saying this, Xiao Ce swayed and broke free from Da Lei. Da Lei also went to support him, after all, he knew Xiao Ce was pretending to be drunk.

Xiao Ce staggered over, walking unsteadily, looking like he could fall at any moment.

Seeing this, Yin Pan’er hurried forward to support him. Seeing that Da Lei and Night Cat were following but not helping, she chided them slightly, “Da Lei, the Prince has had too much to drink. Even if he says not to hold him, you really shouldn’t just not hold him!”

Xiao Ce had one arm around Yin Pan’er while putting on a very drunk act. “I… I’m not drunk… I don’t want them to hold me.”

Da Lei and Night Cat followed behind Xiao Ce, feeling bitter inside. They thought to themselves, did they not know whether Xiao Ce was drunk or not?

After that, with Yin Pan’er’s support, Xiao Ce made a round of drinking.

Yin Pan’er found it a bit strange. Xiao Ce was clearly so drunk his feet were drawing flowers, but when he got to the soldiers, he seemed to sober up a bit and could drink again.

Yin Pan’er thought about it and attributed it to Xiao Ce’s strong willpower. After all, he had been able to endure patiently in the Capital for so long; this person’s willpower was beyond ordinary.

After finishing the drinks, Xiao Ce’s drunken state became even more obvious.

Da Lei looked at Xiao Ce’s appearance and was somewhat confused. Because, at this moment, Xiao Ce was acting very convincingly.

He was very good at reading people, but right now, he couldn’t tell if Xiao Ce was really drunk or pretending.

If it was pretending, Xiao Ce had really drunk a lot of wine. He asked himself honestly, if he drank that much, he would be drunk too.

But if it was real drunkenness, he saw that Xiao Ce’s hands were taking plenty of liberties on Yin Pan’er’s body.

Taking advantage of Yin Pan’er’s inattention, Da Lei asked softly, “Prince, are you alright?”

Xiao Ce instantly changed his expression. “This Prince can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. This Prince has laid enough groundwork. Don’t you ruin this Prince’s good plan!”

Da Lei immediately felt a bit more admiration for Xiao Ce. He thought to himself that he must learn from Xiao Ce how he acted like this.

When Yin Pan’er turned around, Xiao Ce wore a drunken face again, looking sleepy.

After Yin Pan’er came over and saw Xiao Ce’s state, she said, “Da Lei, can I trouble you to take the Prince back?”

Hearing Yin Pan’er’s words, Xiao Ce immediately sat up. “I’m not drunk! Pan’er, This Prince will protect you!”

Saying this, Xiao Ce tightly grasped Yin Pan’er’s hand.

He had been acting for half the day just for this moment; how could he let Yin Pan’er go?

Da Lei said, “Princess Consort, perhaps you could accompany him?”

Yin Pan’er looked at Xiao Ce and nodded slightly.

After getting into the Carriage, Xiao Ce had a smiling face, his cheeks flushed as he stared at Yin Pan’er!

Xiao Ce’s face was already very angular and handsome, especially after all his training these days, which made him even more dashing.

This made Yin Pan’er’s heart flutter!

“Prince, you should rest for a while! What are you looking at?”

Xiao Ce had a full smile, his gaze fixed directly on Yin Pan’er.

“Guan-guan go the ospreys, on the islet in the river. The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady: for our prince a good mate she.

Here long, there short, is the duckweed, to the left, to the right, borne about by the current. The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady: waking and sleeping, he sought her.”

After finishing, Xiao Ce grabbed Yin Pan’er’s hand:

“He sought her and found her not, and waking and sleeping he thought about her. Long he thought; oh! long and anxiously; on his side, on his back, he turned, and back again.”

Yin Pan’er was a famous talented woman in the Capital. Hearing Xiao Ce express himself so directly, her face instantly turned bright red.

However, she was also impressed by Xiao Ce’s literary talent.

She couldn’t help but feel moved.

“Prince, did you compose this?”

Xiao Ce’s eyes were hazy. “Pan’er, This Prince has admired you for a long time. I’ve suffered from needing to endure patiently, but fortunately, heaven has not failed me. In this life, I will not betray the snow between my brows, only for my beloved until my hair turns white!”

Along the way, with three parts of drunkenness, Xiao Ce recited every poem he could think of that expressed love to Yin Pan’er.

Yin Pan’er considered herself exceptionally talented, but every love poem Xiao Ce recited left her touched and also shocked.

She was very sure that if any of these poems were circulated, they would shake the literary world.

She had not expected that Xiao Ce’s feelings for her were so deep.

She did not doubt Xiao Ce’s affection at all, because without deep feelings, one couldn’t possibly compose such poetry.

When they finally returned to Xiao Ce’s residence and got Xiao Ce settled, Yin Pan’er sat by the bedside and was about to leave.

Xiao Ce precisely grabbed Yin Pan’er’s hand and then pulled her into his arms.

“Pan’er, don’t go…”

This made Yin Pan’er’s face turn red instantly. However, after being bombarded by Xiao Ce’s love poems on the road, she had completely let down her guard.

Yin Pan’er gently comforted Xiao Ce, “I won’t go. I’ll stay here with you…”

Xiao Ce rested his head on Yin Pan’er’s shoulder, sniffing the fragrance on her, a successful smile appearing on his face.

He said some mushy sweet nothings, instantly raising Yin Pan’er’s body temperature quite a bit.

Xiao Ce’s hands also began to get restless. But this time, although Yin Pan’er seemed a bit nervous, she did not refuse.

After all, it’s said that in wine there is truth.

Little did she know, Xiao Ce had drunk strong liquor in his previous life. The weak wine here now tasted just like water to him.

The current Xiao Ce was only three parts drunk.

Looking at Yin Pan’er beneath him, Xiao Ce thought to himself that the ancients did not lie: a man three parts drunk can act until you cry.

Yin Pan’er did not disappoint Xiao Ce’s efforts either.

Tonight, although she was a little clumsy, she was also very eager.

Just like the harmony of the qin and se.

Before, such matters had brought her endless pain and shadows.

But this time, after giving herself completely to Xiao Ce, she also experienced the joy in it.

…

The next day.

Xiao Ce woke up early, looking at the familiar, stunningly beautiful woman beside him.

After being nurtured, her skin, fair as snow, revealed a touch of pink.

His movements were very gentle, afraid of waking her.

After all, last night’s storm had also taken its toll on her.

Just after going out, Xiao Jiu was somewhat surprised. “Prince, why are you up so early?”

Xiao Ce said, “Doesn’t This Prince get up at this time every day?”

Xiao Jiu said with a smile, “Prince, didn’t you rest only at the hour of Yin last night?”

Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Jiu and said, “You kid, not sleeping at night and instead wondering when I went to bed?”

Xiao Jiu said with a bitter face, “Prince, I wanted to sleep too. But… with that commotion, how could I sleep?”

Xiao Ce thought of last night’s events and smiled awkwardly. “It’s quiet now. Go get some more sleep!”

Xiao Jiu smiled and said it wasn’t necessary; he wanted to exercise with Xiao Ce.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce didn’t refuse. After all, a healthy body is the foundation of revolution!

As soon as they walked out, they saw Nie Bing standing at the entrance of his bedchamber.

Looking at Nie Bing’s face, she looked very tired, clearly having not slept all night.

Xiao Ce naturally knew why.

But he still asked knowingly, “Miss Nie Bing, why are you here so early? Are you looking for This Prince?”

Nie Bing shook her head somewhat guiltily. “No, did Pan’er stay at your place last night? I was worried as I didn’t see her return all night.”

Xiao Ce said, “She’s fine. She slept with This Prince last night. She slept late last night and probably won’t be up for a while.”

Nie Bing naturally understood what Xiao Ce meant. She had experienced it too.

“Don’t worry. She is my Princess Consort. I am more concerned about her safety than you are.”

Nie Bing nodded with a complicated expression.

Xiao Ce didn’t waste words with her and turned to go for his run.

“Prince!”

After only a few steps, Nie Bing called out to him.

Xiao Ce looked at her with slight confusion and asked, “What is it?”

Nie Bing hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. “Nothing.”

“You don’t look well. Do you need me to find a doctor for you?” Xiao Ce asked with concern.

Facing Xiao Ce’s sudden concern, Nie Bing shook her head. “Thank you for your concern, Prince. I was just worried about Pan’er. Seeing she is safe is enough.”

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised. Nie Bing thanking him was really like the sun rising from the west.

Indeed, when a woman does something wrong to a man, her attitude towards him improves.
