Chapter 358 People are united but not united
Although Leng Ming was still young, his mood was extremely bad today, so he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare it. The three of us will have some drinks."
Leng Xi waved his hand directly, "Just three bottles of wine. Let's just sit here. We won't go home until we get drunk."
Leng Yu neither agreed nor objected to their proposal, so let's just live with it!
After a while, a servant came in with three jugs of wine and several plates of side dishes. The three of them sat on the floor, each holding a jug of wine, and drank with their own thoughts.
This was one of the few times when the three brothers got together to drink.
Leng Xi held the wine bottle in his hand, looked at Leng Yu, and said expressionlessly:
"Fourth brother, you will always be my fourth brother, but in the future, if I, the fifth brother, do anything that I feel sorry for you, don't blame me."
Leng Yu raised the wine bottle in his hand, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
"Fifth brother, I hope that we brothers can live in harmony forever, but if one day we are on opposite sides, I hope that we will all protect Ming'er and not hurt him, because his character is the worst.
If he is weak, he will not argue with others."
There was a hint of indifference at the corner of Leng Xi's mouth, and he nodded with a deep look,
"That's natural. Now that we've talked about it, let's make a gentleman's agreement here. No matter who it is, no one is allowed to hurt Ming'er."
Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Leng Ming suddenly covered his face with his hands and started crying.
He kept sobbing and muttering,
"Why? Can't we always be brothers if we are born into the royal family? I don't want this."
Leng Xi and Leng Yu looked at each other, with strong coldness in their eyes.
Although they don't want to hurt each other from the bottom of their hearts, their current status makes them unable to make a choice.
Leng Xi suddenly sneered with red eyes, "Fourth brother, today we only drink and talk about brotherhood and nothing else."
Leng Yu also nodded with calm eyes, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and drank a drink with Leng Xi, Leng Ming also participated.
In the end, Leng Ming fell to the ground because he was too drunk. When Leng Yu and Leng Ming were left alone, the two of them leaned together and suddenly recalled what happened when they were children.
"Fourth brother, when I was a child, you often took me to climb trees. For this reason, my mother-in-law often spanked me."
"Yes, you were timid at that time and wanted me to hold you before you climbed up..."
"Don't you remember, one time we were playing hide and seek with my eldest brother, second sister, and third sister. I hid behind the rockery, but you couldn't find me. In the end...it was dark in the end and no one came to see me.
, I was so frightened that I started to cry. Fortunately, my mother-in-law came to me with her servants."
"Hahaha, we were all punished by Emperor Father that time. He made each of us copy the rules ten times. If you couldn't finish it, the second sister and the third sister copied it for you..."
"Hey, fourth brother, you said it would be better if we were not born into an emperor's family. Then the eldest brother would not become so cruel, the second sister and the third sister would not have to marry a foreign country, and we brothers could live in harmony...
…”
At this point, Leng Xi's eyes suddenly became wet. He poured all the wine in the flask into his mouth, then stood up with a swaying body, and chuckled at Leng Yu:
"Fourth brother, starting from today, I, Leng Xi, and you will fight to the end for this throne."
Seeing his free and easy words, Leng Yu stood up from the ground. He looked at Leng Xi, pointed at him, and said bluntly with cold eyes:
"If you promise that you can be a good emperor, I will not fight with you and give this position to you."
Leng Xi opened his arms, shook his hands and laughed:
"Hahaha, give it to me? I don't need you to give in, and I don't want to be a good emperor. I want to be the emperor, because as the emperor, I can get everything I want, and I can marry the woman I want.
,Hahaha……"
While talking drunkenly, he threw the jug in his hand far away. As the jug fell to the ground with a clang, he walked lonely outside Dening Palace. Although his steps were shaky, he was firm.
Looking at his back, Leng Yu raised the wine bottle in his hand, drank a drink towards his back, drank the last wine, then shook his hand, and also threw the wine bottle far away,
He looked down at Leng Ming, waved his hands and left.
Maybe as Leng Xi said, after today, the real competition between their brothers will begin, but what can be done? The reasons why they want to be emperor are different, but the ultimate goal is the same.
Therefore, they can only become enemies.
Thinking of this, Leng Yu felt sad in his heart. Xiao Shuangzi and Zhang Yuan who were guarding the door rushed over to help him, but he waved his hand away.
"I can leave on my own and go back... to my home."
Although his voice was drunk, it was also a bit helpless. This was the first time in his life that he drank so much wine, and he believed that this would also be the last time.
The autumn wind outside blew, and Leng Yu suddenly felt a chill. It was so cold that he felt like he was trembling all over and his heart was cold.
…
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and little Huaiyu could already crawl. He would often crawl around on the bed, and looking at his cute appearance made Luo Lan feel good.
Luo Lan's belly is getting bigger and bigger. During this time, she has been cautious, and everyone in the palace is also cautious.
In the evening, Ah Hong carried a basket of eggs and happily walked towards the back door of Prince Yu's Mansion. The princess was about to give birth, so she had been running out of the city to the countryside in the past few days. Today's basket of eggs was the result of her running all day long.
I just bought it from a few people's homes.
Just when she arrived at the door, she suddenly saw a basket placed at the door. She looked around and saw no one around, and she suddenly became suspicious.
Why is there a basket here? What's in it?
Thinking of this, she stepped forward cautiously, and the floral cloth on the basket actually moved.
"ah!"
Ah Hong was so frightened that she retracted her head. After calming down, she placed the egg basket on the ground, then boldly stepped forward and slowly opened the floral cloth in the basket.
ah!
There is actually a fair-looking child here.
Oh my gosh!
She covered her mouth in shock, how could there be a child here? Who put this here?
She looked around hurriedly, trying to find the person who put the basket here.
However, there is not even a human figure here...
What should we do? This child was obviously placed here intentionally, and she couldn't leave it alone.
So, she covered the bamboo basket with floral cloth again, lifted the bamboo basket, picked up the basket with eggs in her other hand, and carefully entered the door of the palace.
Since she came back every day with the egg basket in her hands these days, the servants in the palace did not notice anything unusual about her.
At this time, Luo Lan was sitting at the table drinking the crucian carp soup that A Cai had just brought. A Hong hurriedly opened the door and walked in. After entering the room, she said directly to A Cai:
Chapter completed!
