Chapter 241: Drinking
After the prince's marriage, it was the day for the Duke of Zhenguo to leave the capital. The night before Yao Liyuan's departure, she held a banquet in the main hall to see him off.
The old lady has recovered somewhat in the past few days. After she found out that Zhang Dabiao only dared to talk to her but didn't dare to do anything to her, the little thoughts in her heart started to come alive again.
Sitting in the main seat again, the old lady's eyes flashed with shrewdness. She glanced at everyone's faces and said, "The Duke will go to the northwest tomorrow. Let's get together as a family tomorrow evening."
"Why didn't the old man come?" Hearing the old lady's arrogant tone, Li Yuan replied to her, and the smile on the old lady's face froze immediately: "This is our family reunion, what does it have to do with him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao walked in from outside. When the old lady saw him, she looked displeased: "Why are you here?"
"I invited him here." Li Liyanqing replied indifferently, "Why don't you add a chair next to the old master and the old lady?"
Zhang Dabiao didn't care about the twists and turns, and ignored the old lady's expression as if she had eaten a fly, and sat down next to her: "Old lady, I told you, how can this banquet not include me? And you have to ask the prince consort to send someone to invite me, isn't this a waste of time?"
During this period of time, Zhang Dabiao also found that this old lady was not a good person at all, and was not as good as those old ladies he saw in the streets. If she was not lucky, how could she enjoy such a good life every day?
You have received such a great benefit from heaven, but you still mess around all day long. Sooner or later you will lose your chance to have descendants.
Zhang Dabiao was a man with a bad temper. He felt aggrieved and nervous every day because the old lady used her status to oppress him.
If he had not promised the prince consort and the princess not to touch the old lady, he would have taught this old woman a lesson on how to behave as a human being.
Seeing that Li Liyuan didn't say anything, the old lady knew that he had tacitly approved of Zhang Dabiao's appearance. As long as Li Liyuan was gone, she would not be happy.
"The Duke is going back to the northwest this time, and I don't know when he will be back. There is a bottle of fine wine in this wine cellar that has been treasured for many years. Let's open it tonight as a farewell party for you." The old lady said. Yao stood up and opened the wine jar herself. The mellow aroma of the wine instantly spread in the air.
Li Ting has always loved fine wine and beautiful women. Just by smelling the aroma, he knew that this was good wine: "My dear, you are still thinking about my elder brother. You have reserved this good wine for him. I don't have the pleasure of tasting it on weekdays."
Li Ting still hoped that the relationship between Li Yuan and the old lady could be more harmonious.
Yao specially brought out a new wine bowl and said as she poured the wine, "I heard that the army drinks from bowls. Let's not be too particular about this tonight."
Li Ting was about to take a bowl to taste, but the old lady coughed and said, "Ting'er, this wine is strong. You may not be able to handle one bowl. Try a small cup first. Why don't you take these two bowls of wine to your elder brother and Yan Qing?"
Li Liting was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He just listened to the old lady and brought two bowls of wine to Li Liyuan and Li Li Yanqing: "Brother, Yanqing, I know this wine is good as soon as I smell it. Come and try it."
Li Yuan picked up the bowl, the old lady turned her face away pretending to be indifferent, while Yao was secretly paying attention to Li Yuan.
"Dear, this wine is strong. You are leaving early tomorrow morning, so you'd better not drink it." Li Liyanqing suddenly said something. Hearing this, Li Liyuan put down the bowl and said, "You are right. You really can't get drunk this evening."
Seeing that Li Yuan didn't drink, Yao became anxious: "It's just a bowl of wine, it won't cause any trouble."
