Chapter 447: The Paranoid Prince in the Extra Story (27)
In the carriage, Jiang Zui held the dishonest Ruan Jiuchao in his arms, with a doting look on his face, and said gently: "Chaochao, be good, don't move, we'll be home soon."
Ruan Jiuchao replied in a soft voice: "Brother Xiaozui, I want to drink more. That wine is delicious. I want more."
Then, Ruan Jiuchao raised his index finger seriously and put it on his mouth, with seriousness in his eyes, shaking his head and said: "I drink...you...can't tell Daddy and Mommy, understand?"
"I know." Jiang Zui said helplessly.
"Are you sure...you won't tell me? Don't lie to me." Ruan Jiuchao said fiercely, "Promise yourself.
If Daddy tells Mommy about this, I will be punished."
"Okay, okay, I promise, I'm sure I won't tell anyone." Jiang Zui said repeatedly.
When Ruan Jiuchao heard Jiang Zui's words, he burped suddenly, his eyes became confused, and he quickly backed away from Jiang Zui and said, "Who are you? Why do you look so much like Brother Xiaozui?
You are not allowed to come near me."
Seeing this, Jiang Zui asked very patiently: "Why can't I get closer to you?"
"Only Brother Xiaozui can get close to me." Ruan Jiuchao pouted and whispered back, "I am Brother Xiaozui's future husband, so of course only he can get close to me, no one else is allowed."
Ruan Jiuchao's words pleased Jiang Zui, who couldn't help laughing and said, "What about me? Who do you think I am?"
Ruan Jiuzhao tilted his head, looking confused. After a long while, he stammered, "You...you look exactly like Brother Xiaozui, so are you...Brother Xiaozui?"
"Chao Chao is really amazing." Jiang Zui teased, "You guessed it right away."
Ruan Jiuchao pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "Then why did you show up only now? You don't even know that at the banquet just now, those people kept pouring wine into me. I didn't even want to drink, but they kept pouring wine."
In fact, Ruan Jiuchao was "putting the blame" on the people at the banquet.
Ruan Jiuchao vaguely knew that the other party was trying to force him to drink, but the wine was so delicious that he couldn't help it.
But now, he couldn't admit that he wanted to drink.
"Then can I help Chao Chao teach them a lesson some other day?" Jiang Zui suggested.
Ruan Jiuchao readily agreed and said, "Okay."
After a pause, Ruan Jiuzhao tugged at Jiang Zui's sleeve and said, "How about...just forget it?"
"How can I let this go?" Jiang Zui retorted, "They bullied you, can't I help you get revenge?"
Ruan Jiuchao puffed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Xiaozui, they... didn't bully me that much, so let's just stop."
When Ruan Jiuchao saw Jiang Zui was about to open his mouth to explain, his mind suddenly twitched, and he raised his hand to cover Jiang Zui's mouth, saying firmly: "I said forget it, forget it."
Before Ruan Jiuchao let go, he felt an itch in the palm of his hand. He subconsciously pulled it out and looked at Jiang Zui with a reproachful look on his face.
Jiang Zui curled his lips, and directly hugged Ruan Jiuchao into his arms, lowered his head to kiss the other's lips, and pried open his lips and teeth.
Ruan Jiuzhao stared at Jiang Zui with his confused eyes, as if asking: Brother Xiaozui, what are you doing? !
Seeing that Ruan Jiuchao was somewhat ruining the atmosphere, Jiang Zui said helplessly, "Close your eyes."
Ruan Jiuchao didn't answer a word. He quickly closed his eyes and let Jiang Zui play with him.
It was not until they arrived at Ruan's residence that Jiang Zui let go of Ruan Jiuchao reluctantly.
Ruan Jiuchao's face was already stained with a little red due to drunkenness, and it became even redder after Jiang Zui's treatment. His clothes were torn apart, and his swollen lips and wet eyes made him look like he had been ravaged. He looked at Jiang Zui puzzledly and said, "Well... why did you stop?"
Jiang Zui helped Ruan Jiuchao tidy up his clothes and said, "Be good, Chaochao, we are home now."
"...Hmm? Arrived...home?" Ruan Jiuchao said in a daze: "Oh, home, home."
After Jiang Zui tidied up Ruan Jiuchao's clothes and hair, he carried him out of the carriage.
As soon as I entered the Ruan Mansion, I happened to see Ruan Heng.
Seeing Jiang Zui holding his brother, Ruan Heng hurried forward and asked, "Brother Jiang Zui, what happened to my brother?"
"Your brother drank a lot of wine at the banquet and got drunk."
"What?!" Ruan Heng asked in surprise: "My brother drank?"
ahhh-
Why not take him?!
He wanted to drink too.
If he had known that his brother was going to a banquet today, he would have followed him.
Ruan Jiuchao had just reached the age of marriage, and Ruan Heng was only twelve years old. In Ruan Yu's mind, his children were not yet adults, so how could they drink alcohol? !
Therefore, the control in this regard is very strict.
If Jiang Zui hadn't been in a hurry to marry Ruan Jiuchao, Ruan Heng would even want to wait until Ruan Jiuchao was eighteen years old before getting married.
Jiang Zui ignored Ruan Heng's annoyed and regretful expression, and quickly carried Ruan Jiuchao back to the courtyard.
Along the way, Ruan Jiuchao was held by Jiang Zui. When Jiang Zui put Ruan Jiuchao on the bed, he had already fallen asleep.
Jiang Zui looked at Ruan Jiuchao's sleeping face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a look of joy between his eyebrows. After helping Ruan Jiuchao take off his clothes and shoes, he looked at him for a long time before leaving.
The scene of Jiang Zui hugging Ruan Jiuchao in public was spread by everyone.
For a time, the entire capital was filled with gossip and interesting stories about Prince Xiaoyao and his future Princess Xiaoyao.
After hearing the rumors, Qiu Zechen became more and more confused.
Ruan Jiuchao got drunk at the banquet and even wanted to act crazy. It was such an ugly and humiliating thing, but Jiang Zui was not angry at all.
Qiu Zechen had people release a lot of news about Ruan Jiuchao acting crazy while drunk in public. Unexpectedly, it did not arouse people's disgust towards Ruan Jiuchao. Instead, it caused people to ridicule and envy the love between Ruan Jiuchao and Jiang Zui.
Qiu Zechen gritted his teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.
But he couldn't do anything about Ruan Jiuchao and could only silently hate him in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, time passes.
By the second year.
It’s less than half a month until Ruan Jiuchao and Jiang Zui’s wedding.
Nowadays, the most hotly debated issue in the capital is the imperial examination.
Cheng Yan passed the imperial examination in August of the previous year and became a juren.
Now, just after the New Year, Cheng Yan went to Beijing to take the exam.
Cheng Yan was a man of great learning and talent. He was the top scholar in Fuzhou County and was also rich. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the capital, students from all over the country wanted to make friends with him.
Cheng Yan was a good person in dealing with people and in conducting himself.
In just one month, Cheng Yan became the person in the capital most likely to get the top prize in the spring examination, and many people made bets on Cheng Yan to get the top prize.
Cheng Yan did not disappoint everyone's expectations and won first place in the imperial examination.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Zui and Ruan Jiuchao finally got married.
On the wedding day, it was spring, the weather was clear and cloudless.
Due to Jiang Zui and Ruan Jiuchao's reputation, countless people in the capital came to watch.
Jiang Zui was riding on a white horse. Under the sunlight, his red clothes looked very dazzling. Coupled with Jiang Zui's handsome appearance, people started to talk about him.
"Is this King Xiaoyao?! He's so handsome!"
"Prince Xiaoyao is indeed the younger brother of our emperor. His wedding was a grand affair."
"I heard that Prince Xiaoyao and Princess Xiaoyao are very affectionate. They are a well-known loving couple in our capital."
"This... didn't they just get married?"
"You are not from this place, are you? Our Prince Xiaoyao came to ask for Princess Xiaoyao's hand in marriage the day after she came of age, and they waited for more than half a year before they finally got married."
