Back and forth: I brought supplies to help the impoverished prince

"Of course it's because I've never seen it. To me, brothels are places that I only hear about. I want to see the Oirans dancing, and I want to know what their dance is like.

I want to see crazy men spending a fortune on them. Since you are here, I should be safe, so I can't miss this rare opportunity." Qiao Shinian said sincerely, and she looked at Mu Qingchen with a silly smile.

Mu Qingchen did not say anything about this. After arriving at Prince Xian's Mansion, he asked the housekeeper to arrange for the two of them to take a bath and change clothes.

In just a quarter of an hour, Qiao Shinian went to see Mu Qingchen, wiping his hair.

"Miss Qiao, your hair?"

"I know that my hair and body are given by my parents, so my parents...my parents don't mind me cutting my hair." Qiao Shinian shrugged indifferently, "So, Your Highness, can we have barbecue and drink iced fruit wine today?"

"Are you not afraid of me anymore?" Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian curiously. Chunxue, who was following behind her, had already lowered her head and stood aside.

Qiao Shinian scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Wen Jiu said that I can be more casual with you, so I will be more casual. If you mind, I can be as respectful and impeccable as you saw before."

"Haha." Mu Qingchen couldn't help laughing, then realized that he was being rude, and quickly adjusted his expression, "Miss Qiao's manners are impeccable, but there are some minor flaws."

"Oh, I know. After all, I'm a beginner. It's great that I can learn well and remember so many rules and regulations!" Qiao Shinian did not modestly praise himself naturally.

Mu Qingchen didn't know what to say. He felt confidence and assertiveness from Qiao Shinian.

The barbecue went smoothly under Qiao Shinian's command. Although the taste was much worse, the three of them were still very interested and gathered around the fire, wiping their sweat and waiting for the meat to be cooked.

"Ms. Qiao, how much alcohol can you drink?" Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian drinking from the big bowl and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Qiao Shinian waved his hands, looking smug: "Your wine is only about 10% alcohol, no problem at all! It's the same alcohol content as beer."

Mu Qingchen listened to her bold words, then looked at her flushed cheeks and then looked at Wen Jiu.

"It's very novel, isn't it? But I'll let you see my sister's free state for half an afternoon. Tomorrow she will be the same as before." Wen Jiu looked at Qiao Shinian's casual appearance and said, "The marquis cares about you very much and is afraid that something will happen to you, so he entrusted me to let you see what freedom is."

"Aren't you afraid that I will punish her?" Mu Qingchen said in a low voice.

"Oh, I don't think you will. If you blame your sister for being rude, he will be the one who will be punished in the end. Wen Wenshan left a token and a receipt with me, and he will take all the responsibilities." Wen Jiu took the barbecue handed to him by Qiao Shinian with a smile.

The sauce here is very simple, with only soy sauce and minced garlic, but it did not dampen Qiao Shinian's interest. She resisted the urge to ask Chunxue to go back and pick some chili peppers.

The meat on the iron plate is sizzling with oil, wisps of white smoke are rising from the barbecue, the scorching waves of midsummer gradually subside, and the evening breeze begins to blow gently.

"What are you two whispering about?" Qiao Shinian stood up, looked at the sunset in the distance, and couldn't help but grin. "Let me tell you, when I first entered university, I was super brave and almost got the whole club drunk. So, let's go have a wine tasting."

Wen Jiu turned to look at Mu Qingchen and asked with a smile, "Would the wise king be so kind as to show his favor?"

Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian who finished a bowl of fruit wine, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Okay."

Drinking heartily is something that only men do, but Qiao Shinian ignored the modesty of a woman and drank so heartily.

He looked at Wen Jiu who was licking the oil while grilling meat, and felt that the Thirteenth Prince had lost his manners in front of her.

Rules!

Fortunately, he had dismissed all the servants in the courtyard, otherwise, if this scene were to spread out, what kind of discussions would it cause?

"Fruit wine tastes better." Qiao Shinian had already drunk three bowls of wine. While eating the meat and vegetables grilled by Wen Jiu for her, she looked at Mu Qingchen seriously.

"Do you know? The Earth is as tiny as a speck of dust in the universe. There are tens of thousands of galaxies in the universe. We on Earth are also like specks of dust. We don't know how weak we are and always think that humans are the masters of everything.

In fact, we are just one kind of natural creature. Without us, the earth will have less burden! "

Qiao Shinian's voice was soft yet a little sad.

“We always think that what happened to us is too cruel, but in fact, our pain, from a higher level, is like when we look at an ant, an ant has a broken leg, an ant is stepped on to death.

Your Highness, you should feel lucky. You see, in Zhou State, you are the emperor's younger brother! In other words, in this area of ​​Zhou State, besides the emperor, you are the person with the most noble bloodline.

You enjoy the life of a prince, why can't you accept the suffering that a prince should endure?" Qiao Shinian drank another bowl of fruit wine and smacked her lips.

"You are such a lucky person! If you really can't stand it, then give up your status as a prince, be an ordinary person, endure the oppression of the landlords and bullies, and endure all the injustices! With your current ability, it shouldn't be that difficult to fake your death, right?"

Mu Qingchen was a little confused, but he also felt that what Qiao Shinian said made sense.

"But if I die, there will be a lot of trouble."

"For example? The earth is going to explode, or the Zhou Kingdom will not be able to function without you?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Mu Qingchen was speechless for a moment.

"So, you enjoy the treatment of a prince as a matter of course, but you cannot accept the responsibilities that this position gives you?" Qiao Shinian pointed at Wen Jiu and said, "He wants to be a prince, so no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to follow his father's order and come to Zhou Kingdom as a hostage. If he doesn't want to be a prince, it has nothing to do with him being bullied here."

"You are an ancient person. It is your responsibility to get married and have children. Why are you so depressed? You look like a rebellious child, going against your parents.

Shouting, I am a human being, not your puppet, don't try to control my life!" Qiao Shinian couldn't help but sneered as he spoke.

The gentleness on Mu Qingchen's face gradually disappeared, and his voice was slightly cold: "Isn't this right? I want to refuse, I don't want it. As a prince, don't I even have this right?"

Qiao Shinian filled Mu Qingchen's glass with wine and said with a smile, "Haha, I'm the type of person who can talk without any pain in my waist. So, if you are unhappy, just say it out loud. If you don't say it out loud, who will know what you are thinking? It's not like everyone is a worm in your stomach."

Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian, whose expression changed so quickly, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

At night, the sound of insects is particularly clear.

"What I just told you was poisonous chicken soup, trying to stand on the moral high ground to kidnap you and make you fulfill your duties." Qiao Shinian said with a smile, "What I'm going to tell you next is the key point of this time."
