Pampered Consort of the Fragrant Orchard-Chapter 101.2: Love Wounds (2)
The dishes on the table had already gotten cold, so Fu Wansan had the dishes changed, replacing the dishes that hadn’t been touched at all.
“Sigh——” As Fu Wansan stood at the door, seeing the lonely person drinking inside, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
He didn’t know why Ji Liufeng was here getting drunk in the middle of the night, but he did know she was close with Du Xiaoli, and so he sent someone to find Du Xiaoli.
Du Xiaoli and Ji Liuxia accompanied Han Mingshan to eat breakfast. Before they were done eating, Meng Jiangzhuo and Fu Yalan arrived as well.
“Even if we never see each other again, I’m satisfied enough that you all take such care of me.” Han Mingxiang sighed.
“Princess, you……” Han Mingxiang’s sigh put everyone in somewhat low spirits, and they all felt pained on behalf of Han Mingxiang.
“You all, don’t wear sad faces. It’s me who’s being married off, but seeing you all like this, it’s as if you all are going instead.” Han Mingxiang said with a smile, “No matter who sad you are, this is already unchangeable, why don’t you two join and have some porridge with us.”
“Meng Jiangzhuo and Fu Yalan sat down, and Han Mingxiang had someone serve them each a bowl of porridge. Everyone unwittingly finished their breakfast not knowing what they had just eaten. Only when Han Mingxiang had to go the palace, did Du Xiaoli and the others get up to bid her farewell.
Du Xiaoli let Ji Liuxia and the others leave first. Only when they had all left the courtyard did she ask: “Does Brother Liufeng know of this matter?”
“He knows.” Han Mingxiang said, “Back then, he and Fifth Brother were both there.”
Han Mingxiang’s voice carried traces of bitterness. His being there was more difficult to accept than if he had been unaware of this matter.
“Then did he say anything?” After Du Xiaoli asked this, she felt her question was somewhat redundant. If he had objected, then the news of this matter would not have spread.
Han Mingxiang smiled bitterly, saying: “Let’s just leave things the way they are, perhaps we simply are not fated to be together. I’ll prepare to enter the palace now.”
“We’ll visit you again later.”
“Okay. While I’m still here, we can make the most of our time together. After I go, we may never be able to see each other again!”
“Mm.”
Du Xiaoli left the Princess’ Manor and saw Ji Liuxia and the others at the entrance, waiting. She suddenly
“Do you want us to go with you?” Ji Luixia asked.
“There’s no need. It’s not a big matter, just going to see how restorations are going over there and when they’ll open.” Du Xiaoli responded.
“Then we’ll go back first.” Fu Yalan said.
“Mm, be careful on the way back.”
Only all three people had boarded and left on their carriages did Du Xiaoli get on her own to head in the opposite direction. When she was preparing to turn around, however, the carriage stopped. Du Xiaoli pulled open the curtain, asking: “What’s the matter?”
Waiting there was one of the waiters from Blizzard pavilion, who seeing Du Xiaoli, said: “Miss, General Ji is drunk at the Blizzard Pavilion, our manager said to invite you over to take a look.”
“Liufeng-gege?” Du Xiaoli was a little taken back, but then let down the curtains and said: “I know now. To Blizzard Pavilion.”
The carriage traveled through a small alley onto the busy main street, very quickly arriving at the Blizzard Pavilion.
Ying Ge got down first, then helped Du Xiaoli get off before directing the carriage to the Blizzard Pavilion’s carriage parking area.
“Greetings, Princess Anle.” Fu Wansan was doing accounting at the counter, when upon seeing Du Xiaoli, he went up to greet her.
“Manager Fu, get me a private room,” Du Xiaoli said.
“Okay. Princess, please come with me,” Fu Wansan said, guiding Du Xiaoli upstairs to a private room. He opened the door slightly, allowing Du Xiaoli to catch a glimpse of Ji Liufeng inside. “Mistress, right here.”
“How long has he been drinking here?” Smelling the strong stench of alcohol, Du Xiaoli asked.
“From last night until now.” Fu Wansan said.
“Got it, you can go down first. Ying Ge, you keep watch here.” After she finished speaking, Du Xiaoli pushed open the door and saw a wrecked room.
Ji Liufeng saw Du Xiaoli and waved at her, drunkenly slurring: “Xiaoli, you came? Come have a drink with me.”
Du Xiaoli walked over and seeing the wounds of Ji Liufeng’s hands and the fragments on the table, her internal anger melted into helplessness.
“If you’re still able to recognize me, it seems you aren’t drunk to the point of deliriousness.”
“I’m not drunk, come, drink with me.” Ji Liufeng lopsidedly picked up a cup from the table and poured wine into it from the wine jug, spilling half of it in the process.
“The wine I have here is very expensive, if you’re this wasteful aren’t you afraid of being unable to pay for the wine?” Du Xiaoli asked.
Ji Liufeng at last finished pouring the wine and pushed it in front of Du Xiaoli, saying: “I feel like I have nothing left, if I can’t pay for the wine just keep me here as collateral. Come on, drink!”
Finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and downed it in one go.
Seeing that Du Xiaoli wasn’t drinking, he pushed the wine glass towards her again, saying: “Drink! This wine is good stuff, don’t you know that saying ‘getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows?’”
Du Xiaoli picked up the wine glass and drank it, saying: “Getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows? You’re already drunk, are your sorrows resolved?”
“Where are my sorrows, I only feel uncomfortable in my heart. It seems as if a part of it has been emptied, where is my sorrow!” Ji Liufeng blabbered more nonsense as he poured himself wine again.
Du Xiaoli watched his drunken appearance, with wrinkled clothes that had been stained with wine in some places, appearing very unkempt.MoonWhisperer, skyrise's Thoughts
