Chapter 445 - Beauties
Xie Qiao did not expect her eldest brother to be so emotional, and she could not help but feel a little warm in her heart.
However... no matter how much he doted on her…
He should not steal her wine!
"Doesn"t your sister like this wine? First Young Master Xie, you even stole her wine. You"ve no idea how long your sister will live, can"t you give in to her a little more?" Xie Qiao muttered.
Xie Pinggang thought this master was quite meticulous. She had to defend Xie Qiao for such a small matter.
"Wine is wine, she is a person. It has nothing to do with her! My Sister is good in every way, but she"s too stingy.. She hid such good wine and did not let me drink it. She buried it under the ground, and the fragrance was stolen by the snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Isn"t that a waste? Moreover, she"s a little girl. She just needs to drink some flower tea. Wine should be drunk by men. If she doesn"t take the initiative to give it to me, then I can only dig it myself!" Xie Pinggang looked like what he said made sense.
Xie Qiao covered her chest.
Sooner or later, she would be angered to death by her family.
Was it a waste for a woman to drink wine? He deserved to be unable to find a wife!
Xie Qiao silently rolled her eyes at him.
It was not easy for her to brew that wine, and the quant.i.ty was not particularly large. If she allowed her eldest brother to drink it, it would probably be gone in half a month. How was she stingy?
However, now, she could not explain it clearly.
Poor Xie Qiao. Her image was originally perfect, but now in the eyes of the Crown Prince, it was greatly reduced.
Xie Qiao felt a little pity in her heart.
The Crown Prince had become a person who loved wine at that moment.
One mouthful after another, it was actually a lot. He drank all the wine, not a single drop left.
What was even more terrifying was that his expression did not change at all. He sat upright with a cold smile on the corner of his lips. His king-like bearing was not lost at all. He looked even more authoritative than before.
"I drank a little too much tonight. Can I stay in the residence?" Zhao Xuanjing"s voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e, deep and magnetic. His eyes looked as if they were on fire. When he spoke, he was actually looking at Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao"s heart skipped a beat. She almost thought that she had been exposed.
"This penniless master will leave now. I"ll have to trouble Young Master Xie to take care of my junior brother!" Xie Qiao ran away immediately.
Xie Pinggang looked at the Crown Prince and hesitated.
He…
Should he get a maidservant who was willing to spend the night... to serve His Highness?
Xie Pinggang thought as he led the Crown Prince to the courtyard to rest. In his heart, he admired the Crown Prince even more.
This Crown Prince did not look as st.u.r.dy as him, but his alcohol tolerance was actually not inferior to his. Moreover... His taste in wine... was much better than his. He did not know how he developed it.
Zhao Xuanjing took every step steadily. His tall and straight back stood proudly in the world as if the wine had no effect on him.
After sending him back to the room, Xie Pinggang stood at the door for a while and then called the steward over, "Is there anyone in our residence who is willing to climb up the social ladder? Choose a good-looking, sensible, and amiable person and send her to His Highness" room."
"There really aren"t any in our residence..." the steward was shocked when he heard that. He thought for a while and suddenly said, "But... I was going to tell you this. Early this morning, the Eldest Young Master of Prince Ning Bei"s mansion sent two beauties. Do you think they can do it?"
"Beauties?" Xie Pinggang frowned, "Who"s the Eldest Young Master who sent the gifts? Do I know him?"
"We"ve never interacted with each other before. The Eldest Young Master"s people said that they admired your charm, so they wanted to be on good terms with you. By the way, this old servant asked around and found out that the Eldest Young Master will be taking a job soon. This old servant is wondering if this job has something to do with you or the Old Master..." the steward thought and said.
That was the only explanation.
Xie Pinggang knew that Prince Ning Bei had only entered the capital in the past few months, so he really did not know him.
"Are the ladies very beautiful? What kind of characters do they have? Our family doesn"t do things that force people to be concubines. If they want to leave, that"s fine. If they don"t want to, bring them over and let me take a look first," Xie Pinggang said.
