Chapter 4 — The Crown Prince Enters Hong Tran For Me

And I bowed my head in shame, blaming myself in my heart. It is said that Bui Huyen is normally extremely self-aware and never drinks alcohol. Today he had to drink so many cups because of me, he must have hated me so much. I don't want to continue to involve you, so I intend to use the excuse of being unwell to leave. But just as I was about to open my mouth, I heard Bui Huyen say: "No need. There's nothing wrong with Miss Tham's poetry, innocent and lively. Since I agreed to form a team with you, there must be a beginning and an end." "Moreover, it's not that you implicate me, but I implicate you." I looked at Bui Huyen in surprise, and just met his eyes. Although his eyes were calm and cold, they carried a sense of comfort. My heart gradually calmed down: "Your Highness, I will try." Bui Thanh could only return to his seat. I also completely did not pay attention to his signaling eyes. But even if we try, it's useless. In the next five turns, at least three times Bui Huyen had to drink alcohol as punishment. I suspect the Fifth Princess did it intentionally, but there is no evidence. Fortunately, Bui Huyen's alcohol tolerance is very good, from beginning to end, his face remained unchanged, still calm as usual. It wasn't until the poetry contest ended that I breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and called out to him: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince." But I called twice, but he didn't answer. I reached out to pat him, but he grabbed me tightly. Bui Huyen finally noticed me and turned his head to look over. His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, carrying a bit of dreaminess: "Hm?" Are you drunk? 07 I raised two fingers in front of him, shaking them back and forth: "His Royal Highness, what are these?" Bui Huyen's eyes followed the two fingers a few times, answering: "Two." In the end, are you drunk or not drunk? Waiting until everyone was gone, I quietly called the Fifth Princess over. She walked around Bui Huyen and observed: "Royal brother, royal brother, how old are you?" "Twenty-one." "Drunk, drunk!" The five princesses shouted excitedly: "The queen once said, when you were young, you mistook rice wine for drinking water, and then it was like this, you answered whatever you asked." "Tham Au Ninh, you are too powerful, even the Crown Prince can conquer you. Please ask for more advice in the future, ha ha." ha!” Waiting for her to laugh enough, Bui Thanh and the eldest sister also came and surrounded her. Bui Huyen had to be taken to the bedroom to rest. When I stood up, I realized that my hand was still tightly held by him. My face got a little hot: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, my hand..." Bui Huyen's voice was still very calm: "Tham Nhuoc Ninh, don't be afraid, I'll hold you." His words had no beginning or end, no one understood. Bui Thanh wanted to pull his hand away, but Bui Huyen held it tightly and refused to let go. I can only follow Bui Huyen to the bedroom. Until he lay down to sleep, his hand never let go. The fifth princess happily squinted her eyes and began to chase people away: "It's useless for you guys to stay here, just go back first. Wait for the royal brother to sober up." "Don't worry, the princess will take good care of Tham Au Ninh." The elder sister was not reassured, originally planning to stay with me. I thought about it and told her to go back and inform her father and mother to avoid making them worry. Bui Thanh looked at Bui Huyen's hand holding my hand several times, then looked at the back of the elder sister leaving. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly said: "Tham Au Ninh, I will take sister Van Ha home first, I will come back to pick you up later." Then the Fifth Princess also went out. I mustered up all my courage and carefully looked at Bui Huyen sleeping. He is so beautiful, it would be a pity if he became a monk. But even the Emperor and Queen could not make him give up this idea. How can we do it? Thinking for a while, I also lay down on my stomach and fell asleep. When awake

again, it was dark. Bui Huyen was leaning against the headboard, eyes downcast, looking at the Buddha necklace in her left hand. I quickly sat up and discovered that his right hand was still pressed under my face, with red marks on it. I immediately became more panicked. "Your Highness, I'm rude." "It's okay, I was rude." Leaving the princess palace, Bui Thanh just ran over. He pulled me to the side and scolded: "Tham Au Ninh, I told you, anyone who teams up with you will have bad luck. Even the Crown Prince brother was harmed by her and got drunk." "From now on, don't continue to hang around the prince anymore, quickly follow me home." I puffed my cheeks, but had no words to refute. This is truly my fault. Bui Thanh looked at Bui Huyen again and said seriously: "Brother Crown Prince, Tham Au Ninh has caused you a lot of trouble today, please forgive me." "You definitely have work to do, I will take Au Ninh home." Bui Huyen paused and replied faintly. 08 On the way back, Bui Thanh didn't talk or laugh with me like usual. He seriously asked: "Tham Au Ninh, when have you and Bui Huyen known each other?" "Why did he agree to form a team with you today and even drink wine for you?" I didn't say much, just shook my head: "I'm not close to him, perhaps His Highness the Crown Prince is a kind person."
