Chapter 995: Chapter 995: The Decision of the Crazy Woman

Fragrant Building.

Boss Cheng Chuliang, holding a big bowl of Sanle Sauce, shouted at you, "Brother Luo, don’t even think about leaving through these doors today without downing ten vats."

"Ptui! Just ten? Bring on another twenty, and it’ll still be a mere trifle." You planted your foot on a stool and started gulping down the drink along with the playboy brothers. Your mood was excellent, as your confidence had inflated like never before upon learning that the Luo Family had the backing of Bodhi Ancient Master. You knew that, given enough time, you could surpass everyone and become that most supreme being. Then, you could just ascend to the Heavenly Court and bring Zhao’er back!

"Drink!"

"Bottoms up!"

After several vats of Sanle Sauce, the crowd began to egg you on to recite poetry.

"Lewd verses? Hehe, alright then, let’s have one of those." Er, you were drunk, and now you stood next to the window sill. Outside, the traffic was bustling with never-ending streams of pedestrians. Your ancient lewd verse, of course, reached everyone’s ears, "The waters of the Yellow River come from the sky, canyoufeelthelovetonight?"

Ah, the first half had everyone’s blood pumping, but what was that last part, something about fearing Elton’s milk?

What did it mean?

No one understood, but you were in high spirits and continued with a few more lines.

"Jade rails and marble steps should still be there, babybabyonemoretime! Lying stiff in an isolated village no longer brings sorrow, someonesleepingbymyside! Moved by the moment, flowers shed tears, f*ckyoueveryday! Just let there be a dragon guarding the citadel, ComeonbabyDon’tbeshy!"

These playboys surely didn’t understand the bird language of the latter sentences, but they got the first halves, and driven mad by alcohol, they hailed and cheered. Soon they drew the attention of countless onlookers.

You didn’t know when you had collapsed from the drink, but through the haze, you felt yourself being lifted onto a carriage.

Indeed, you were on a carriage, and it was splendidly decorated inside. At the moment, Gaoyang Princess’ maid was wiping your brow with a damp cloth, while Gaoyang Princess herself sat pouting beside you, pinching your arm from time to time. She turned your right arm red and purple from her pinches.

"Damn Luo Yun, rotten Luo Yun, to get so drunk and even requiring the princess herself to help you onto the carriage!"

"Princess, you might as well save your energy. General Luo wouldn’t feel a thing even if he were killed right now, let alone from your pinching."

The maid’s face wore a slight smile as she looked at the jealous Gaoyang Princess.

Gaoyang Princess had come to find you in order to confront and question you. This morning, her informants reported that you had taken another young concubine, said to be extremely enchanting, a fox fairy capable of bewitching minds. Even the Meng Family and your original young concubines were enchanted by her, let alone you.

When Gaoyang Princess learned that you were drinking with the playboys at the inn, she hurried out immediately. By the time she arrived, she heard you reciting nonsensical poetry. And then, you had fainted, and Gaoyang Princess and her maids struggled mightily to drag you onto her carriage.

At this point, Gaoyang Princess couldn’t care less about the looks from others because she had learned from some eunuchs that Li Shimin was considering marrying her off. And the suitor wasn’t you, but the Third Prince of Qin Kingdom!

Gaoyang Princess’s heart had long been deeply embedded in you, and even in death, she would not marry another. This had nothing to do with her willfulness or capriciousness; like her mother, she had always been someone who dared to love and to hate.

Previously, she had tried to hint to Li Shimin, suggesting subtly that she liked you.

She had thought that, given her father’s political acumen—his penchant for marrying his daughters to his key officials—he would readily agree to marry her to you. But Li Shimin’s response was very vague.

Clearly, Li Shimin valued you highly and intended to firmly bind you with his daughter. It’s just that this daughter didn’t seem to be her. As for who it might be, Gaoyang Princess had not yet found out, but there was no time left to look into such matters.

Gaoyang Princess had a simple plan: just take care of you directly. Once the cooked rice turned into a done deal, she would see how the Third Prince of Qin Kingdom and Li Shimin would handle it! Humph!

This crazy woman!

"Princess, where shall we take General Luo now?"

Gaoyang Princess was in a great hurry when she set out, and having heard her maid speak, she was at a loss for an answer and instead asked the maid, "Where do you think we should go?"

The maid thought for a moment and said, "How about we look for an inn?"

"Are you stupid? Can my carriage, a princess’s carriage, go to such a filthy place as an inn?"

"Then where shall we go?"

"Just find a place, preferably in the suburbs, and then..." At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the carriage, "Oh, isn’t this Gaoyang sister’s carriage?"

Gaoyang Princess knew this voice all too well. Hearing it, she felt as if she had been granted a reprieve and quickly leaned out, "Third Brother!"

After Gaoyang Princess explained the situation to Li Ke, Li Ke couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile, "You really dare to do anything. Do you think that even if this works out, our Imperial Father will let you get your way? I’ll tell you, based on my information, Imperial Father is planning to marry elder sister to Luo Yun."

"What!?"

If it had been any other sister, Gaoyang Princess might have stood a chance to fight for him, but hearing Li Ke say it was Princess Changle Li Lanyi whom Li Shimin intended, Gaoyang Princess knew she stood no chance at all. At that moment, Gaoyang Princess felt as if the sky had collapsed; she appeared bewildered and her face turned pale.

"Xiang Wei, don’t be like this. Although Luo Yun is good, he is too fickle. There are many good men in this world, and it’s not worth it for you to be like this," Li Ke quickly supported his sister, and seeing the tears of Gaoyang Princess, he also felt very distressed.

"Third Brother, I’m different from you; I am a woman, and I must eventually marry. With Imperial Father’s approach, I will surely be married off to some playboy. Among these men, I have feelings only for you. I’m not getting any younger, and in a year or two, Imperial Father will surely betroth me to someone. If I don’t find a good match before then, I will end up just like my third and fourth sisters."

Of Li Shimin’s daughters, besides his most beloved Great Princess who had always been plagued by illness, the rest who reached marriageable age were unwaveringly married off to the sons of high officials, which was one of Li Shimin’s unique political strategies.

Historically, Gaoyang Princess was to be married to the second son of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, Fang Yiai. However, this world did not follow the historical trajectory of China. The current Gaoyang Princess, now fifteen, would be of marriageable age next year. How could she not be anxious about this? Originally, she thought that with the Luo Family’s influence, as long as you agreed, Li Shimin would never oppose your marriage.

But for some reason, you seemed to always have a bias against Gaoyang Princess, giving her the cold shoulder, which troubled her greatly.
