Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Long Xuan was informed that his Royal Uncle had arrived. He had just reached the coaching inn when he saw Chu Jiu standing like a block of wood outside the courtyard gates. He raised an eyebrow. “What are you standing here for?”
Chu Jiu darted a look at him and did not reply. All she said was, “If you’re here to see His Majesty, you should come by tomorrow.”
Long Xuan took a look at the courtyard and nodded his head in understanding. “That’s right. Royal Uncle and Royal Aunt had just reunited after being separated for so long, they must have a lot to say to each other. I’ll come by tomorrow.”
A look flashed in Chu Jiu’s eyes, but she said nothing.
Long Xuan was about to leave when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from inside. He paused for a moment before looking at Chu Jiu. “What was that noise?”
!!
“Was there any noise? I didn’t hear anything.” Chu Jiu had her hand on the hilt of her sword, but she looked cold and calm as usual.
“Of course, there was.” Long Xuan was curious. He took another step forward, as if wanting to find out what was the source of the sound.
Chu Jiu was shocked by his move and quickly stopped him, saying urgently, “His Majesty and Her Highness have something they need to do in there. You shouldn’t be interrupting them.”
Long Xuan suddenly realized what it was when he heard this and his handsome face turned red. He replied ‘oh’ awkwardly.
Chu Jiu suddenly felt uncomfortable as well. “You should leave if there’s nothing else from you.”
Long Xuan suddenly gave her a look of pity. “It looks pretty safe here. Do you want to have a drink with me out there?”
Chu Jiu looked warily at him.
Long Xuan paused and rubbed his nose. “What are you thinking? All I want is to get someone to have a drink with me. You’re not my type.”
Chu Jiu was not offended by his words, but rather felt relieved. “I can’t leave this spot. Why don’t you bring the liquor here and we’ll drink on the rooftop.”
Long Xuan’s eyes brightened. “That’s a good idea. Wait for me.”
It was not long before Long Xuan returned with two vats of wine in his hands.
He went to Chu Jiu and tossed a vat at her.
They gripped their vats of wine and went up to the rooftop.
The sky was dark by now and they sat on the roof.
Long Xuan opened the mud seal of the vat and gulped down a mouthful of wine.
Chu Jiu opened up the seal on her vat of wine as well when she saw this. She emulated him and took a mouthful of wine.
The liquor burned as she drank it and Chu Jiu frowned from the discomfort.
She had no idea wine tasted so bad.
Chu Jiu looked at Long Xuan, who was easily gulping down the wine, and the image of a person came to her mind.
He could drink very well too.
Did all men drink so well?
