"Don't make a fuss, you two. Judging from the princess's tone, she's just playing around!"
Unlike the tense standoff between Zhao Wu and Heng Wenhao, A Tao was brewing tea. She gently pushed a small cup in front of Zhao Wu and smiled, "Brother Zhao Wu, please try my cooking."
Zhao Wu asked doubtfully, "Is the Princess playing?"
Atao said, "Didn't I tell you? The Princess and your master like to play like this."
“It was your princess who shouted ‘molestation.’ Since Miss Atao has said so, I’m naturally not flustered.” Zhao Wu then sat down.
“Miss Atao knows Her Highness the Princess best, so I’m not worried at all.” Heng Wenhao sat down as well, looked at Atao, and said, “Is this tea only available to Brother Zhao? Are you being biased?”
As Atao washed the empty teacups, she said, "Xiaqi, Qiushu, how about I teach you to brew tea for Guard Heng?"
Xia Qi curtsied and said, "I couldn't be happier to learn a skill from Sister Atao."
Atao laughed and said, "Guard Heng, you drink two cups in one go, you're lucky."
"Haha, thanks to Brother Zhao!"
"No, no..."
A harmonious scene unfolded beneath the pavilion, but inside the house, Zhao Cheng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
He finally managed to drag Yuan Yun away from behind the window, pleading, "Grandma, I'm really scared of you. Please, have mercy on me and give me a quick death. What do you want from me to let me go?"
Yuan Yun picked up the dagger and said, "Sever it in two with one stroke."
Zhao Cheng covered his crotch and said, "If you really turn me into a eunuch, I'll still have to stay. Wouldn't that mean you haven't released me?"
Yuan Yun said, "Then let me stab you twice, a white knife in and a red knife out."
Zhao Cheng said, "What I'm saying is, can we please stop playing with knives?"
Yuan Yun asked, "Do you hate me that much that you don't want to stay by my side?"
"Absolutely not!" Zhao Cheng said firmly. "It's not that I hate Your Highness, I just don't want to be cut open, and I certainly don't want to become a eunuch!"
"That wouldn't be fun." Yuan Yun said with a resentful look, weighing the dagger in her hand.
“Yeah, let’s just stop playing!” Zhao Cheng said, going along with the suggestion.
Yuan Yun walked around Zhao Cheng and saw that his back was still bleeding. She said, "Well then, you're tired of playing today. Go back and stop the bleeding first. Let's all calm down and think about how to resolve this. Come back at this time tomorrow, and I'll settle things with you."
"What's the big deal between us?! Is it really that serious?!" Zhao Cheng was on the verge of tears.
Yuan Yun raised her dagger and said, "If we want to resolve this today, then we'll have to use knives."
"I'm getting out!" Zhao Cheng immediately went to get dressed.
Everyone says that Yuan Xiu is capricious, but Zhao Cheng has never witnessed it firsthand. However, he has seen Yuan Yun's capriciousness firsthand.
These siblings are definitely related by blood!
Zhao Cheng felt more and more that his suggestion today was right. Yuan Yun should be married off to Nan Zhou. Whoever is Da Jing's enemy should be the place to marry Yuan Yun!
Go and cause trouble for others!
A secret weapon!
After Zhao Cheng walked out of the house, he was stunned to see several people drinking tea and admiring the moon in the pavilion.
Zhao Wu asked with a beaming smile, "Master, are you done playing?"
Zhao Cheng curled his lips.
Play?
Have you ever seen someone covered in blood while playing?
Zhao Cheng said resentfully, "Are you leaving or not? If not, I'm leaving!"
With that, Zhao Cheng turned and left.
Zhao Wu and Xia Qiqiu exchanged glances and quickly caught up with Zhao Cheng.
Ah Tao said from behind, "Come visit often when you have time!"
“Yes, definitely!” Zhao Wu said loudly.
Zhao Cheng suddenly turned around and kicked Zhao Wu, then continued walking forward.
Zhao Wu and Xia Qiqiu exchanged a glance, and Zhao Wu asked in confusion, "It was clearly Master who molested the Princess, so why does it look like the Princess molested him?"
...
The next day.
Before dawn, more than two thousand people sent leave requests to Yongshou Palace.
The content is largely the same; it's essentially the same idea.
I can't drink anymore.
In addition to the more than two thousand leave requests, high-ranking civil and military officials jointly submitted a suggestion to the emperor, hoping that the state banquet could be postponed for a day and the leave could be made up the next day. With rest and recuperation, everyone would be more energetic and able to ensure a perfect ending to the state banquet.
When Yuan Xiu received the news after getting up, he was so amused that he thought to himself, "The emperor is indeed the emperor. He has the body of a dragon and is more durable than most of you!"
I drank for two days straight, just like you guys, but I was perfectly fine!
However, since this request for leave was the will of the majority, Yuan Xiu had to consider it, and he couldn't really let all the officials get drunk.
Dynasties rise and fall, and may eventually be destroyed by foreign enemies or by internal rebellions, but I have never heard of a dynasty being wiped out by its own drinking.
Yuan Xiu then agreed to the officials' suggestion to postpone the last day of the state banquet by one day.
Zhao Cheng was stunned when he heard the news, thinking, "Is this even possible?"
Yuan Yun told Zhao Cheng to come on time tonight so she could settle things with him. Zhao Cheng could tell with his toes that this was just an excuse; she didn't want to resolve the matter at all, she just loved to play around!
So Zhao Cheng planned to drink heavily with all the officials today, and get drunk to end it all.
But unexpectedly, today's banquet was postponed...
Oh, fate!
After secretly applying the medicine in his room, Zhao Cheng decided to fight against fate.
If there's no alcohol at a state banquet, then find your own!
After much deliberation, Zhao Cheng realized that no one else was suitable, so he finally invited Bi Fansheng and Song Cheng to Park Gyeongsang's house.
Drinking with these old guys makes it easy to get drunk!
Zhao Cheng raised his voice high today, saying that he was representing Zhao Huan to make up for all the drinks my father owed you before, and that they would drink until they were drunk!
