"Wow! That's a good wine!!"

Jiang Dongping sighed repeatedly and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Zhang Zhirou also drank some. It was a strong liquor and she couldn't handle it. She felt a little dizzy after just two glasses.

Wine is still delicious!

Baili Moqing poured a glass for Li Zuo. "I didn't expect the Princess's Mansion to have such good wine. I remember that the Third Princess doesn't drink, right?"

"Could it be that this wine was specially prepared by the Imperial Sister for the Prince Consort?"

Li Zuo looked up in surprise, his eyes moving back and forth between Baili Ruyun and Baili Moqing's faces, and then he realized his intention from Baili Moqing's eyes.

He decided to help him?

Li Zuo showed a wry smile on his face and pushed the wine he poured away.

"I want to apologize to His Majesty. I have decided to quit drinking."

Baili Ruyun was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

He, quit drinking?

Didn’t he say that wine was his spiritual food, and without wine he couldn’t compose poetry or write books?

Over the years, she has collected a lot of good wines for his hobby.

Li Zuo blushed slightly when he noticed her gaze. "Once upon a time, I really thought wine was a good thing. I thought it could help me and make me successful..."

"However, I have been taken care of so well over the years that I forgot that this wine is also very dangerous."

"If one thing is not properly controlled, it may lead to a major mistake!"

He has experienced it once and must not give himself the chance to make the same mistake a second time.

Baili Moqing and Shu He both understood what he meant, and they both looked at the third princess at the same time.

Baili Ruyun's expression was also slightly stunned, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes when she looked at Li Zuo.

He actually said such a thing.

He was a "man of letters" who rarely spoke of romantic matters. Throughout their marriage, he and she had always treated each other with respect, and their relationship was distinctly different from that of other couples.

She always thought that this was a unique way of getting along with others like him.

Seeing the Third Princess was stunned and speechless, Baili Moqing continued, "From what the Prince Consort said, it seems that he has some new opinions about this 'wine'?"

Li Zuo quickly glanced at Baili Ruyun, and a blush quietly crept up on his face.

"Yes, I used to think it was alcohol that helped me; but in the past six months, I've given up drinking and found that I can still write poetry, books, and policy papers."

"Since realizing this, I've had time to re-evaluate my life."

"I discovered that in my world, there has always been someone who has been carrying the burden for me and creating all the environments and conditions that I consider important..."

"It was from that last mistake that I realized that, at some point, the most important thing in my heart had changed."

Shu He drank a few glasses of wine, his face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were full of gossip.

"My Lord, what do you mean? Tell me quickly."

Baili Ruyun heard the teasing in her voice and couldn't help but feel embarrassed for Li Zuo.

She pushed Shu He's arm and glared at her, "Stop making trouble!"

Li Zuo raised his hand and held Baili Ruyun's arm, as if to stop her from "blaming" Shu He.

"It's okay, Princess."

When Baili Ruyun heard this, she was shocked again.

He actually held her hand in public...

Why, why has Li Zuo become so weird?

He withdrew his hand, a look of embarrassment on his face.

"After what happened last time, I've realized that poetry, books, theories, and fame are not as important as my family..."

Shu He looked at the third princess and found that a blush had appeared on her face at some point.

"My Lord, you just said 'family', but I feel like you were talking about the Third Princess."

Li Zuo's serious face turned even redder.

"Sister Ah He, it's OK."

Baili Ruyun still spoke lightly, not wanting Shu He to continue. She was actually quite satisfied to get such an answer from Li Zuo.

After all, when they were together, he was more focused on weighing the pros and cons and didn't love her that much.

She was indeed very surprised and delighted to see such a change now.

Shu He smiled and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Third Princess, why do I think the Prince Consort isn't as pedantic as you say? Isn't this sweet talk quite good?"

Baili Ruyun pushed Shu He, a look of embarrassment and anger on her face.

How could she have revealed all their private conversations? Li Zuo's pride got the better of him, and his hard-earned changes were gone.

"Yes! I'm talking about the eldest princess!"

Li Zuo spoke again. Although his face was still red, his eyes were more determined than before.

He looked at Baili Ruyun, as if he wanted to prove something.

Shu He and Baili Moqing smiled at each other and tacitly gave the tea table to them.

As they walked, they looked back at the two who had been married for many years but seemed to be connecting with each other for the first time. Shu He couldn't help but sigh: "If you didn't know, you would think they were a couple in their first love who expressed their feelings to each other for the first time!"

Baili Moqing smiled and said, "The marriage between the Third Princess and Li Zuo was arranged by imperial decree, so they might not be as loving as outsiders think. You just saw that Li Zuo was more polite and respectful to the Princess."

"Now it seems that the old, incompetent man has suddenly become wise after the last plot."

Shu He was slightly surprised, "You also know about that?"

"Well, the Prince Consort said that he probably thought that the Imperial Sister had a grudge against him, so he couldn't face her."

"He also said that he wants you to help him resolve the grudge between him and the imperial sister."

Shu He turned around and looked at the two of them again. Their sweet and restrained look was so sweet that it was suffocating.

"The princess told me that she thought the prince consort was blaming her for not giving him face in her anger that day and hurting his pride, so she deliberately avoided her..."

"So, these two people didn't communicate in time, which is why the misunderstanding lasted for half a year!"

Baili Moqing nodded. Probably, that's the case.

"Alas! So, between husband and wife, honesty is very important, and communication is the most important! If both of them were not so taciturn, wouldn't they be like the princess and her husband? How much precious time would that waste!"

"I hope they can realize this and make some changes for each other! Only then can these two people live peacefully for the next few decades!"

Baili Moqing agreed with this and immediately stopped and put his arms around her waist. Looking at her rosy little face, he found it difficult to control himself again.

"You, what are you doing?"

This is the princess's residence! Is he going to go crazy here?

Baili Moqing shifted his gaze slightly, and the physiological changes made his voice become hoarse and low.

"Since you know so much about how a couple gets along, then tell me honestly, how much money have you made in the past two years?"

Shu He narrowed his eyes, a hint of vigilance in his eyes, "What for? I'm not even dead yet, and you want to inherit my inheritance?"

"Pah, pah, pah!" His expression changed, and he said "Pah" several times, his face darkening. "How many times have I told you? Don't joke about your own life and death!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong! I will never say that again!"

She immediately surrendered and apologized, "But since you're not after my inheritance, why are you asking me how much money I make?"

Makes you suspicious!!

His eyes darkened slightly, "I want to retire!"

I learned the word "retirement" from Shu He.

"Now that the court situation has stabilized, I want to leave."

Live a carefree life with her.
