Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 261 It's really an old friend

"This brother looks delicate and tender, how about having a couple of drinks with me?"

A drunk in the pub staggered to the window, leaned over and took a deep breath: "Hey, brother, you smell so good. Why don't you recognize me as your brother today, and I will make you happy to the point of flying."

The person that the drunkard was flirting with was none other than Princess Pingyang, who was dressed in men's clothing. She had been here for more than half a month and really liked this place where no one knew her. She drank some wine and listened to some songs every day, and the hatred in her heart had diminished a lot.

But today, she heard that the imperial envoy had returned victoriously after suppressing the rebellion, so she came to see the excitement. Unexpectedly, she saw Xia Lin riding a horse and leading his men over.

She was an open-minded person, and couldn't help but smile, thinking, "It's a bit of fate."

Then she continued to drink her wine and enjoy her scenery without thinking about anything else. Then the drunkard came up to harass her, using obscene and disgusting language.

However, she didn't have any guards with her today, so it was inconvenient for her to fight with others. So she just sat there and waited for the right opportunity to use the flowerpot next to her to chop the guy's head open. She wanted to be quick, accurate, steady and ruthless.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed behind the drunk, and the drunk's head was pressed on the table. Pingyang looked up and found that it was a man like an iron tower, and his arms were standard archery hands.

Then a man walked over from behind the Archer and sat opposite her. "I took a quick glance when I passed by just now, and he looked familiar. I came over and saw that it was really Your Highness."

Hearing the word "Your Highness", the drunkard sobered up immediately, but Xia Lin just waved his hand impatiently: "Take him away and beat him up and then let him go. Keeping him here is an eyesore."

The guards around him carried the drunk man aside like a chicken, and now only he and Princess Pingyang were left sitting at the table.

Xia Lin raised his hand: "Waiter, add a few of your signature dishes and a jar of good wine."

"Drinking again?" Princess Pingyang smiled now: "Do you know what I went through when I drank with you before?"

"Just a little drink." Xia Lin sighed, "I did hear about it. I happened to meet Commander Chai on the way back to Fuliang escorting the goods that day, and he told me what happened."

"Him? How dare he tell others about it?" Princess Pingyang's face turned cold: "That coward."

"Alright, alright, calm down." Xia Lin propped up his head and looked at Princess Pingyang: "Your Highness, are you here to relax? Or are you here to find me and call me to task?"

"Looking for you? I'm hiding from you!" Princess Pingyang sneered, "I'm not such a petty person, and the fault is not yours. Alas... I just came out to relax."

Soon the wine and meat were served, and Xia Lin stood up to pour the princess some wine. "But to be honest, Your Highness looks much better dressed than your daughter's clothes. Not to mention that drunkard, if I hadn't noticed, I would have flirted with him."

"Come on, everyone knows that Prince Consort Xia is surrounded by many beautiful women, and the only one who got the upper hand is her sweet mouth."

Xia Lin picked up the bowl and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and said, "Princess, you misunderstood me. I really don't need to be sweet-talking. Especially when you meet a female general like you, you have seen all kinds of things, so how can you fall for this? I just spoke my mind."

Hey, let alone Li Sanniang, she has seen all kinds of things, but she has never seen a sweet talker. Her ex-husband is a blockhead, he can't coax her or tease her, he doesn't have the slightest tenderness. Others are either fawning or flattering, praising her for being invincible or unrivaled.

Princess Pingyang had grown tired of hearing this over time, but when this fellow told her that she was good-looking, beautiful, and a poet and composer of lyrics, if she had only one-tenth of Chai Shao's talent, she would have had many children and would not have fallen to this point.

"Come on, stop flattering me. Let me ask you, why are you the one who came to suppress the rebellion? You are just a county magistrate."

"I'm here to suppress the rebellion, but I'm here to take the blame." Xia Lin spat and said with a gloomy face, "The ministers in the court were exterminated, and there must be an explanation. This King of Lingnan is more or less related to the officials of all ranks in the court, and I have to help him settle the matter."

"Then you..." Princess Pingyang was well aware of this. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Aren't you going to be in trouble?"

"Eighty percent likely, either exile or death. But death is unlikely, after all, I am considered a royal relative, so I should be exiled." Xia Lin stretched lazily: "Exile three thousand miles, straight to Huanglong City."

"Alas, this world..." Princess Pingyang also shook her head: "Why don't you just come with me and I will come forward to protect you."

"Come on, Your Highness. Are you crazy?" Xia Lin said with eyes wide open, "If you take me back, won't the rumors be confirmed? You come out for a trip and bring back a pretty boy. The Yellow River is tens of thousands of miles long, and you can't wash the mud off your crotch even if you swim back and forth three times."

Princess Pingyang was amused by his words. It was indeed true. If it was someone else, it would be fine. But if it was him, if she took him back, the rumors would be confirmed. He would not be a rumored boyfriend, but Princess Pingyang's real gigolo.

What's more important is that this would offend the Prince of Teng to death. After all, he is still someone else's son-in-law.

"I was stupid."

"That's not bad. After all, Your Highness is worried about me. But the order of demotion will probably take a while to come down. It should be announced at the grand court meeting. After all, some people still need to be punished this time. So I'm safe these days. When do you plan to come back, Your Highness?"

Princess Pingyang shook her head and said, "I don't know yet. My father earnestly asked me to come out and relax. I guess he doesn't want me to go back. Because of me, the Li family is in chaos. I'll wait for my father to call me."

"No more talking, Your Highness. Drink." Xia Lin picked up the wine: "It just so happens that I have only some unfinished business left in the past few months, so it would be great if I could accompany Your Highness to go around and have some fun." Princess Pingyang smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and then drank the wine in the glass happily: "Aren't you afraid of people spreading gossip again? Now I am still unmarried and you are already married."

"Yeah~~ Your Highness, what you said is so ambiguous." Xia Lin poured her another glass of wine: "Everyone knows everyone in this place, so just drink it without worry."

On this day, Princess Pingyang drank more than her tolerance for alcohol, and her addiction to alcohol showed up again. Xia Lin didn't even notice anything, but she was already becoming dizzy. She sat there staring at the table, and it looked like she was about to fall down.

When asked where she lived, she chuckled. When asked how to contact the guards, she chuckled. When asked if she could still walk on her own, she chuckled…

Xia Lin had no choice but to call for a carriage to take Princess Pingyang back to his side.

"Daffodil, come quickly."

The last part of Xia Lin's speech was to carry the princess into the yard. Narcissus heard his call and ran out quickly. She was surprised to see that Xia Lin was carrying someone on his back.

"This is?"

"Princess Pingyang..." Xia Lin put her down, and supported her with Shuixian on either side: "Go and ask someone to prepare some hot water. You go and help the princess wash up. I have to go and wash myself quickly. She vomited all over me..."

After finally finishing all the work, Xia Lin changed into clean clothes and came out, finally breathing a sigh of relief. At this moment, Narcissus was washing Princess Pingyang's body.

Princess Pingyang woke up in a daze while taking a bath. When she woke up, she found herself soaking naked in the bathtub. However, when she saw a beautiful woman beside her, she felt relieved.

He just pressed his temple and said, "Where is that kid?"

"After sending His Highness here, the master went to wash up. He said His Highness vomited all over him."

Princess Pingyang also laughed: "It's what I deserve. Who told that guy to force me to drink?"

At this moment, another maid came in and brought the princess some hangover soup and bird's nest stewed with buffalo milk: "My Lord asked me to bring something for you two."

Drinking the hangover soup in the big pool and then sipping the bird's nest made her feel relaxed. Princess Pingyang turned back to Narcissus halfway through her meal and said, "I didn't expect that he really dotes on you."

"Master, you love me because you are kind." Shuixian said quickly, "I don't have any unreasonable thoughts."

Princess Pingyang chuckled but said nothing more.

After taking a shower, the hangover soup started to work. Although she still had a bit of a headache, it was nothing to Pingyang. She changed into the clothes specially prepared for her, and when she looked in the mirror, she found that they were Xia Lin's men's clothes, which made her laugh.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Xia Lin curled up in the small pavilion, picking pomegranates to eat. He looked up and saw Pingyang with wet hair coming over, so he said, "The wind at night is still a little cold. If you don't dry your hair, you'll catch a cold."

"Back when we were fighting, we were not afraid of the coldest days of winter, and the autumn wind was blowing in Guangzhou." Pingyang sat opposite Xia Lin and said, "I heard that you carried me back?"

"No, I didn't touch her. I was bending my legs, not holding my butt." Xia Lin raised his head and took a look: "You're not going to chop off my hand because of this, are you?"

Pingyang was amused by his sudden words: "How come you are so stupid, you are so stupid and so careless?"

"I said this seriously. After all, I heard from Commander Chai that His Highness is ruthless and merciless. Ignoring the hundreds of people present, I can go up to him and slap him hundreds of times. Look at me, I am powerless. If I were beaten by you, I would..." Xia Lin sighed, "I would not live."

"Did he really slander me like that?"

"No, I exaggerated a bit. But he said you slapped him so hard that he lost face."

Princess Pingyang sighed deeply when she said this: "Now that I think about it, it was my fault."

"What's right or wrong?" Xia Lin glanced at her while picking at the pomegranate. "By now, General Chai should have married Princess Xunyang, and he is in the process of making a strong advance, so he can't remember the harm your big ass fight has caused him."

Princess Pingyang picked up the pomegranate peel on the table and threw it over, saying with a smile: "You are so mean, do you think I am a princess?"

"Wow... Your Highness, you haven't seen how beautiful Princess Xunyang is. Seriously, she's so beautiful that she can turn steel into something soft. She's not smart and she's submissive. Although she's jealous and vicious, that's nothing compared to her beauty. Commander Chai has been firing hand cannons for ten years, so he's going to stand up and kick now, right?"

Hearing this, Pingyang rolled her eyes and blushed. Although she had never heard of words like hand cannons or standing up and kicking, she could still understand the meaning after thinking about it casually: "He even told you this?"

"Yes, I did. It was mainly because I asked him. He told me after I asked him."
