Chapter 181 Brother, have another drink!
Yinti and the others clearly wanted to see Yinzuo make a fool of himself. Of course, our Prince Zhao isn't the kind of person who would be easily made a fool of. First of all, he's shameless. Yinqi's face turned as red as a monkey's bottom after being teased a few times, but Yinzuo, after being teased, didn't even blush. In fact, after his eldest brother Yinti asked the question, he could still gossip with his third brother as if nothing had happened.
"Brother, if I may be so bold as to ask, where did you hear this rumor? We absolutely mustn't go to him for any more information in the future, I assure you, his rumors are completely unreliable. But since you've already come to me, I'll tell you what happened..."
If Yinzhuo were like Yinqi, blushing easily when teased, Yinti and the others might have continued to tease him. But seeing how thick-skinned he was now, they immediately gave up on teasing him.
The elaborateness of the prince's wedding ceremony was beyond your imagination. Even just watching from the sidelines, Yinzhu felt exhausted. When the ceremony finally ended and the groom and bride were led into the bridal chamber, Yinzhu couldn't stay still for a moment. He leaned against his fourth brother.
"Oh my god, the thought of having to go through this myself makes me suddenly not want to get married... Fourth Brother, can you understand my pain?"
When Yinzhuo slumped over, it really startled Yinzhen. It's no exaggeration to say that if Yinzhuo hadn't immediately shouted "Oh my god!", he would have called for help. Now that he knew Yinzhuo was alright, he was naturally furious and slapped Yinzhuo on the back of the head.
"I understand, I understand you perfectly. I think you're just asking for trouble. Well, I'll be a good guy and give you a break."
Are you kidding me? Is Yinzhu the kind of person who would just stand there and let you do whatever you want? The slap he just received was because he was careless. No sooner had Yinzhen raised his hand than Yinzhu dodged behind Yinti.
"Big brother, save me! Fourth brother, you're so petty! I just leaned against you, why are you chasing after me like this?"
Yinzhuo was hoping his elder brother would protect him, but things didn't go as planned. His elder brother, on whom he had placed his hopes, didn't seem to want to save him. As soon as Yinzhen came over, instead of protecting him, he grabbed him from behind.
"Heh, weren't you having a good time roasting me just now? Now you're thinking of asking me for help, big brother? Sorry, I can't save you."
Seeing that there was no hope of saving his life from his elder brother, Yinzhuo's pleading gaze turned to Yinreng, who was standing next to Yinti. At this moment, the second brother had a little more conscience than the eldest brother, but obviously not much.
"Sixth brother, don't be afraid. Your fourth brother won't really do anything to you. At most, he'll just slap you a couple of times. We're grown men, we can just bear it..."
"Endure it? It's over now, why are you saying this again? I can't endure it, I can't endure it at all. After all, this slap was on my body, and it hurts me too. Besides being exceptionally thick-skinned, Yinzhuo is also exceptionally flexible. Seeing that there was no way to ask for help, he directly admitted defeat."
"Fourth Brother...Fourth Brother, calm down. We can talk things over. If I did something wrong just now, I'll apologize to you here first. Look, there are so many people here today. Please give me some face."
Yinzhen wasn't actually that angry. He was just so frightened by Yinzuo's antics that he almost lost his temper and wanted to slap him twice. After Yinti and Yinreng interrupted him, his anger dissipated. Seeing Yinzuo back down, he stopped what he was doing.
"Fine, I'll let it slide this time because there are so many people around. You're such a grown man, yet you have no manners at all. If you startle people like this again, I'll teach you a lesson."
Well, now Yinzhuo understands why he was beaten by his fourth brother. Yes, yes, I'm not calm, I'm easily startled. You, on the other hand, are calm. So why did you get startled by me and then come to beat me up?
Even though Yinzhu was inwardly cursing his fourth brother, he didn't dare to provoke him further. After all, as he said, he also had his pride. If he angered his fourth brother, he would not only lose face, but also get slapped...
"Sigh, being a younger brother is really too difficult. It's definitely better to be someone's older brother."
As soon as Yinzhuo said this, Yinti laughed, released his grip on Yinzhuo's hand, and flicked Yinzhuo's forehead.
"Oh, so now you realize it's good to be the older brother? I remember someone saying before that they only wanted to be the younger brother of the older brothers, not the older brother of the younger brothers. Yinzhuo, do you remember who said that?"
Haha, brother, could you be any more tactful? What's the difference between this and calling me out by name? Besides, don't people change? Today I suddenly feel like being the younger brother isn't good enough, is that so wrong?
Yinzhuo's answer to his elder brother was to turn around and leave. Was he supposed to just stand there and let them continue to tease him? When Yinzhuo ignored them and turned to leave, Yinti and the others quickly followed.
Attending a wedding naturally involves eating and drinking, but unlike the ministers who came to offer their congratulations, Yinzhuo and his entourage did not dine at the Puyuan where the ministers held their banquet. Instead, they ate separately at Canglang Pavilion next to Yinqi's main courtyard. If Yinti and his group were there to enjoy themselves, then Yinzhuo was there purely to partake in the feast. He now had a clearer understanding of his own drinking capacity. Alas, he had the heart to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but not the fate to.
"Sixth Brother, why have you been gesturing at all the dishes on this table all this time? Is the wine not to your liking today? Come on, don't just eat the food, bring me the wine glass, let Third Brother fill it up for you."
Upon hearing this, Yinzhuo looked up and glared at his third brother. What, you know perfectly well what I'm asking? If I dared to drink, would I need you to persuade me? I would have already filled my own cup with wine.
"What's wrong, Third Brother? Do you want me to perform the Oath of the Peach Garden for you again? Or should I drink a few cups and sing 'The Drunken Beauty' for you? Actually, if you want to see that, you don't need to go to all this trouble to persuade me to drink. It's just something I can say offhand. Third Brother, listen carefully: Love and hate are just a moment away... Raising a cup to the moon, my feelings are as vast as the sky. Love and hate are both boundless. When will you fall in love again? Brother, have another cup..."
Now that there were no outsiders in Canglang Pavilion, Yinzhuo was naturally not afraid of losing face. To be honest, his performance really stunned Yinti and the others. Not only did Yinzhi dumbfoundedly take the wine cup from Yinzhuo's hand, but Yinti was also choked and kept coughing.
