Chapter 575 Persuading someone to drink

"Yes, yes... I'll go and urge them right away." Nanny Sun pushed Yuan Yun to sit on the chair on the right, then turned and left the main hall.

They come, the security.

Zhou Chang just let Nanny Sun do her thing.

Yuan Yun's makeup was smudged by crying just now, and she felt uncomfortable sitting down. She stood up and apologized: "Your Highness, please sit down for a while. I will go in and put on my makeup."

Zhou Chang was extremely impatient but he could only nod.

Afterwards, Yuan Yun called her personal maid in and went into the inner room to wash and dress herself again.

Zhou Chang had no choice but to sit there and drink tea, watching the last rays of sunset fall through the window paper. The sky became completely dark, and the maid came up to light the lamp.

Immediately afterwards, Nanny Sun brought a table of wine and food.

It can be seen that they were indeed carefully prepared, and even made according to Prince Yi's daily preferences.

When the wine and food were served, Yuan Yun came out from the inner room again.

She changed into new clothes and jewelry, and put on new makeup on her face. She wore a red brocade dress embroidered with golden peonies, and a hairpin with a phoenix tail and rubies inlaid with gold on her head, with star-shaped pearl flowers dotted under the hairpin.

The whole person is covered with flowers, like a different person.

Zhou Chang couldn't help but think of the failed "blind date". Yuan Yun also had a head full of green hair, but compared to now, that time she was a child wearing adult clothes, while now they complement each other perfectly.

After the two men sat down, Nanny Sun sent the rest of the servants away, came up personally to pour a glass of wine for both of them, and then stepped back to guard the door.

Yuan Yun raised her glass and smiled softly, "Your Highness, I will toast you first. It's because of my hasty temper and my impulsive words that I spoke without thinking."

Zhou Chang had already felt a little guilty about his attitude and regretted not listening to Aunt Jing's advice. He also picked up the wine glass and said, "What are you talking about, Princess? I was a little impatient just now. But... you did misunderstand Mei Sheng. There is absolutely no such thing. I can guarantee this."

"Your Highness, don't mention those things that will spoil the fun. Just drink this cup first." Yuan Yun said and drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Chang also tilted his head back and drank the wine.

This wine glass is not small, it is as big as a small bowl. After drinking one glass, my stomach feels burning.

Yuan Yun, however, seemed to be used to drinking and had no reaction. She poured another cup for Zhou Chang and herself and raised her cup again: "Your Highness, this cup is to thank you for your hard work these days."

Zhou Chang was indeed busy investigating things recently, but he couldn't tell whether this was a stern statement: "It's not hard, they are just trivial matters."

"How can it be a small matter? Now that Prince Duan has been reported, His Majesty is furious. Before, both the prince and my father were close to Prince Duan. I don't know if they will be implicated. We should be more cautious and make plans early. Even if the prince doesn't say it, I know these." Yuan Yun suddenly became gentle and considerate.

Zhou Chang was hardly used to Yuan Yun like this, and he couldn't help but ponder over her words.

Could it be that the Minister of the Imperial Household had revealed it to her? Otherwise, how could Yuan Yun know so much about the affairs of the court? Moreover, she has always been a "die-hard fan" of Concubine Yi, Gu, but now she doesn't seem to care at all about the misfortune that Prince Duan's party is about to suffer.

But Yuan Yun never put down her glass, and her attitude was earnest, so Zhou Chang found it difficult to refuse. No matter how unpalatable the wine was, he had to drink another glass: "You're welcome, Princess."

The two clinked their glasses again and drank them all.

Yuan Yun then poured the third cup.

Zhou Chang stopped him and covered the rim of the cup: "I can't drink much. I can't drink any more."

Yuan Yun pouted coquettishly and glanced at him with her bright eyes: "Your Highness hasn't even talked about the main business yet, why did you stop drinking? This is not sincere."

"You are so young, but you can drink a lot." After Yuan Yun said that, how could Zhou Chang refuse?

Yuan Yun then filled two more glasses and raised them again.

This time, before Yuan Yun could speak, Zhou Chang spoke first: "Since you said I'm not sincere, then I'll drink this glass of wine. But after this glass, you have to promise me that the matter of Lin Qi will be forgotten and you are not allowed to mention it again, let alone spread rumors outside."

"Okay..." Yuan Yun agreed readily and drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhou Chang also drank the third cup. His stomach felt hot, but he finally felt at ease.

He quickly picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food to suppress the wine.

After drinking this cup, Yuan Yun finally stopped pouring wine and picked up two chopsticks of food for Zhou Chang. She changed the subject again: "Your Highness, do you know who is behind the report of Prince Duan?"

"I don't know." Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief. At least Yuan Yun didn't mention Mei Sheng or Yuan Qi, so it would be easy to deal with her.

Yuan Yun obviously knew it all a long time ago: "Everyone is speculating now, it is most likely King Xian without a doubt."

"Isn't King Xian also under house arrest?" Zhou Chang responded casually. As long as he could easily deal with this bland content tonight, everything would be fine.

Yuan Yun was obviously not in the mood to eat. She did not move her chopsticks. She served Zhou Chang a few bites of food and then picked up the wine jug to refill Zhou Chang's glass.

Zhou Chang really didn't want to drink anymore, but in order to maintain the hard-earned atmosphere, he reached out to grab the wine pot: "Come on, let me pour you a glass too."

"How can I trouble you, Your Highness, to pour the wine?" Yuan Yun smiled and insisted on pouring another glass for Zhou Chang and herself. She did not try to drink it, but continued the previous topic. "It's strange, why was Prince Xian confined? Your Majesty has never said it, and others have no way of guessing. Does Your Highness know the inside story?"

"How would I know what's going on?" Zhou Chang had to pretend to be confused and turned back to remind them, "No matter what they do, we, Prince Yi's Mansion and the Imperial Household Order, must not get involved at this time, do you understand?"

"Of course, don't worry, Your Majesty." Yuan Yun was born into an official family, so she was better informed than Zhou Chang. "But Concubine Yi has been feeling uneasy lately, worrying about Prince Duan all day long. Duke Xu's mansion also seems to be uneasy. Thanks to Your Majesty, our Prince Yi's mansion is peaceful."

Zhou Chang took a bite of the food and continued chatting: "Yes, so you just stay at home and protect yourself most importantly now."

"Yes..." Yuan Yun agreed, and turned to look out the window, "Ah, the moon has risen in just a moment."

"Yeah." Zhou Chang also looked out the window and saw several crescent moons. Only then did he realize that he was dizzy.

Maybe it was because he had just drunk too much alcohol, and after only three glasses he couldn't help shaking his head vigorously.

Yuan Yun seemed to have thrown away all the unpleasantness just now, turned around and raised the glass again: "Your Majesty, let's have another drink to celebrate the beautiful moonlight tonight."

Zhou Chang wanted to drink, but seeing Yuan Yun's beautiful smile, he also wanted to put the quarrel behind them, so he raised his glass as well: "Okay..."
