After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Cuizhu didn't know much about wine, but when she heard that it was imperial wine, she was happy.

The wine jar is not big, it is a narrow porcelain bottle with a thin neck. It is suitable to drink directly without a wine glass.

When I went back and told Lu Wei about it, she said calmly, "It took so much time, but it went smoothly."

"Xianrenzui is a tribute wine, Jiang Nian will definitely like it."

She waved the man away and took out the powder hidden in her purse.

This was given to her by her personal maid, who said it was a secret medicine passed down from her ancestors. As long as it was taken, the holy monk would break his vows.

The medicine had a very light taste and dissolved in the wine, so it should be undetectable. Lu Jiangnian sent someone back to tell Yuan Wanru that he would be having dinner with Lu Wei tonight.

Yuan Wanru just said she knew, and Lu Jiangnian understood that his wife really didn't want to see her sister.

The emperor heard a little about what happened at the racecourse and asked a few questions.

Lu Jiangnian concealed what Yuan Wanru said and just said it was an accident.

It was getting late, and the emperor had asked Madam Zhaohua to accompany him. Since he had nothing to do in the imperial court, he wanted to return to Yunyouju early.

As he walked out of Lingxiao Palace, a man came towards him. It was the second prince.

The Second Prince strode forward and patted him on the shoulder. "The last time you went to investigate the rebels, you were really good at catching them so quickly."

"Fortunately, all the rebels have been apprehended. You have successfully completed your mission. Father's safety is assured, and I can sleep peacefully now."

"Brother said that I was impatient and caused you trouble. Jiang Nian, you won't blame me, right?"

Facing the Second Prince, Lu Jiangnian's expression remained the same as usual: "As a son, I'm easily distracted by my concern. What has the Second Prince done wrong?"

"If the Second Prince is alright, I will leave first."

The Second Prince held out his hand to stop him, then lowered his voice and said, "There's something I'd like to ask you for a favor. Would you agree?"

He looked around, took two steps forward, went to a secluded corner, and waited for Lu Jiangnian.

Lu Jiangnian didn't know what his intention was, so he followed him.

The Second Prince sighed deeply and said, "I have a manor that caught fire a while ago, during the days when you were out arresting the rebels."

"I reported it to the authorities, but you know how capable Jingzhao Yin is at handling cases, and they didn't find any clues."

"We've known each other for many years, and I've never held grudges against anyone. I don't know who harbors such a deep hatred for me that they deliberately set fire to my farm."

"Jiang Nian, please help me analyze this so I can have a clue."

Lu Jiangnian's face was calm, without a trace of guilt.

"Your Highness is filial and kind, and is known for his good temper. I never imagined that you would have any enemies."

"Do you have anything valuable in your farm? Maybe some thieves are targeting it."

The Second Prince pondered deeply and shook his head. "It's just a farm, just a few stone of grain. It's a pity to waste so many houses."

The two talked for a long time, and the second prince finally said, "Forget it, let's leave it to the Jingzhao Yin to investigate."

Lu Jiangnian looked at the second prince's departing back and fell into deep thought.

Why did the Second Prince suddenly come to him and talk about things on the farm?

Could it be that the Second Prince suspected him?

However, his sweep was very clean at that time and there should have been no flaws.

When we returned to Yunyouju, Lu Wei had already prepared the meal.

There were several charcoal braziers in the room. As soon as Lu Jiangnian entered the room, he felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

"Sister, are you cold?"

Lu Wei's clothes were not thick, and it was quite hot in the room.

"It's not cold, I just don't know when you'll be back. It's warmer in the house, so the food cools down slowly."

"I had the meal served when you came in. Come and sit down."

It was so warm that Lu Jiangnian couldn't sit still. "Remove the three charcoal basins, or I'll start sweating when we eat later."

Although they are siblings, there is a gender difference between them. When he is very hot, he can't just take off his clothes to cool down.

Lu Wei hesitated for a moment, then said in a negotiating tone, "How about we withdraw two?"

"Row."

It was a bit hot, but Lu Jiangnian could bear it for the duration of a meal.

On the table were all Lu Jiangnian's favorite dishes, steaming hot.

From these details, it can be seen that Lu Wei put a lot of thought into this meal.

She pointed at a roasted lamb leg and said, "You said in your letter before that you loved the roasted lamb leg from the border. Come and try it. Does it taste the same?"

Lu Jiangnian was not polite and took it and took a big bite.

The food in the palace was certainly not bad. Lu Jiangnian ate a large piece and nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Lu Wei smiled even more happily: "And this braised chicken nuggets, with some sour plums I brought from Anzhou, it's sweet and sour."

"Ah."

Lu Jiangnian stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of chicken.

There were quite a few meat dishes on the table. Following Lu Wei's introduction, Lu Jiangnian tried a little of each and was already half full.

Lu Wei brought out a can of osmanthus wine and pointed at the Immortal Drunk on Lu Jiangnian's right. "I specially asked for these three cans from the Liang Brewing Room. The Immortal Drunk is too strong, I can't get used to it."

"This jar of mine is osmanthus wine. Today, let's drink some wine and chat."

Lu Jiangnian picked up the wine jar and did not refuse.

He left two people to keep an eye on Liang Yusong. Since they didn't receive any news, it meant that everything was normal.

Lu Wei took a sip herself first. "Osmanthus wine tastes good, but men may not be used to it."

As she spoke, she tilted her head back and took another sip.

"Jiang Nian, it would be great if people could stay young."

Lu Wei's eyes looked through him, looking at somewhere unknown.

"The first year I got married and moved to Anzhou, I often dreamed that I was back home, right next to my parents, and you. Our family was reunited, and I was still their most beloved daughter."

"A daughter once married is like spilled water, that's true."

"Even the strongest feelings fade away when we're so far apart."

"For example, me and my parents, me and you."

"Time passes, things change, and people are no longer the same. There is no going back."

After saying these words, she tilted her head back and took a few more sips.

Seeing that Lu Jiangnian hadn't drunk anything at all, she raised her hand and said to him, "Come, have a drink with me."

"I've been in the Liu family for so many years, and I've barely touched a drop of alcohol. You mustn't spoil my fun today."

Lu Jiangnian felt a little sad when he heard this.

He picked up the wine can and clinked it with Lu Wei's: "Drink less."

Lu Wei said dissatisfiedly: "I want to drink today, you are not allowed to stop me."

As she spoke, she tilted her head back and took another big sip.

Lu Jiangnian finally put the wine jar to his lips. The mellow aroma of the Immortal Drunk made him intoxicated.

He finally drank it.

The taste was sweet and the wine was hot. In a short while, the whole jar of wine fell into his stomach.

The wine jar was not big, and he finished all three jars in no time.

Lu Wei concealed the joy in her eyes and hid her calculating mind, "It's a pity that Liangyunfang only gave you three cans, otherwise I could have let you drink as much as you wanted today."

"Xianrenzui is a tribute wine. Liangyunfang is willing to give you three jars, which is a great honor."

Lu Jiangnian felt a little drunk. This Immortal Drunk was a bit stronger than the wine he usually drank.
