1465 It Burned Him Quickly And It Made Him Feel Terrible
“If you don’t want to drink, you shouldn’t be stopping me.” Ji’er looked like she was about to snatch the cup back.
Chu Qi moved it away from her and drank the wine in one gulp.
His eyes immediately closed at the burning sensation.
He had thought that girls would drink sweet wine such as fruit wine. He had never expected Ji’er to choose such a strong liquor.
After gulping down the wine, it burned him quickly and it made him feel terrible.
His slender fingers pressed between his eyes and Ji’er’s beautiful face became a blur in front of him.
When Ji’er saw him close his eyes in discomfort and his handsome face began to have splashes of red on it, it confirmed her suspicions.
Lil Qi could not hold his liquor and he was very bad at drinking.
Cousin Long Xuan had told her years ago that Lil Qi nearly fell off the roof because he got drunk.
However, she had never thought Lil Qi would be this bad with his liquor.
Ji’er was completely the opposite.
Her tolerance for hard liquor was inherited from her father. She could drink hard liquor very well no matter how strong it was, and she had a high tolerance for it.
She looked at the man, whose face was now completely red, and suddenly wanted to see what he was like when he was drunk.
Ji’er picked up the bottle and poured another cup for herself.
“This delicious wine was brewed specially by the Imperial Wine Master in accordance with my father’s preference. It may be strong, but it is rich in flavor. It’s only because we’re celebrating the Lunar New Year’s Eve tonight that Father is allowing me to have a few cups.”
With that, she picked up her cup.
However, just as she placed it on her lips, Chu Qi took it from her.
“A child shouldn’t be drinking.” He grunted as he looked at the wine in his cup. He hesitated a moment and gulped it in one mouthful.
A cunning look flashed in Ji’er’s eyes when she saw this. She took the cup over and poured another for herself.
Just as she was about to drink, Chu Qi grabbed the cup from her again.
“I’ll bet you a copper coin that Big Bro Lil Qi will get drunk, Royal Brother,” Yaoyao, who was beside them, whispered to Long Yin.
Long Yin darted a look at her. “The result is already in front of us. What’s the point of betting?”
Yaoyao choked on his words and complained, “You’re a killjoy, Royal Brother.”
She looked at the bottle of wine as she spoke. She was interested to give it a try.
For some reason, her brother and Ji’er held their liquor well, but she was particularly bad at it. One cup was enough to knock her out.
Her father had told her that her capacity for liquor took after her mother. She had never seen her mother drink and wondered how true this statement was.
Yaoyao had sneakily taken a cup last year and she ended up getting drunk on the spot.
After that, her parents did not allow her to drink again.
She could only watch her brother and Ji’er drink every time there was a celebration.
To be honest, wine did not taste good to her. However, she could not help wanting to try some when she saw everyone drinking.
When her brother was not looking, she quickly picked up the bottle and poured herself a cup.
She picked up the cup, covered it with her sleeves, and snuck a taste.
The burning sensation almost made her tear up.
She stuck her tongue out and quickly put the cup down.
Unknown to her, her actions were noticed by Beitang You, who was sitting opposite her.
A small smile appeared on his handsome face when he saw the little lady steal a sip of the wine.
Zhang Yu was also here with him on this trip.
He sat one seat below Beitang You’s position and saw Yaoyao drinking too. He stroked his beard with his hand and smiled. “Princess Yaoyao is quite adorable.” He paused and when he saw a playful twinkle in his master’s eye, he was suddenly reminded of Yuan Zheng’s passing remark all those years ago.
If both countries were united through marriage…
He shook his head after that thought. The Emperor of Great Shang would not be willing to let his treasured daughter marry into a faraway country like the Yan Kingdom.
Zhang Yu mulled over this regretfully.
As for Chu Qi, he had finished an entire bottle of wine without realizing it as he attempted to stop Ji’er from drinking.
