Chapter 158 Two People Drinking
"Then I wish you all the best in Beijing, how about that?" Gu Rongyu said this deliberately, meaning that Chang Xixi had forgotten him and was only concerned with making money.
I didn't take him seriously at all.
Chang Xixi sneered, picked up the glass of wine, and poured it directly onto the ground. "No, I must pay tribute to the Heaven and Earth, I must pay tribute to the ancestors of the Southern Dynasty. I must pay tribute to the souls lost on the battlefield, I must pay tribute to the people who lost their lives in famine and floods. Finally, I want to pay tribute to the widows who lost their husbands, and my husband."
When Gu Rongyu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched!
I really wanted to pin him down right there and kill him right there. I wondered what else she could say. Her neck was thick with anger.
"Okay, very good. Then I will respect my future wife and children and wish them all the best. With me, they will have a happy family. Without me, it won't be a complete family."
Cruel! Really cruel!
Chang Xixi gritted her teeth and poured another glass of wine, saying, "I think the general has no regard for the people at all. He's only concerned with his own affairs. I don't think you're suitable to be a general. You could be a scholar-official or something. Being a civil servant would suit you better. However, you're a very handsome man. I'm afraid you're the dream lover of many girls! Come, let's have a drink."
At this point, the Crown Prince and Prince Rui's faces turned green!
They had never thought that Gu Rongyu had such an ability to make someone who didn't drink and always refused to drink raise a glass for him. He also said so many things, as if Chang Xixi was born to hate them and like Gu Rongyu!
In fact, Chang Xixi whispered, "It seems that the general likes to hurt each other. Then how about this, let's hurt each other together and see who drinks the most. Don't be reserved, you don't have a wife or children anyway, why don't we go out for a few drinks? I really feel embarrassed here. The Crown Prince and Prince Rui are afraid that I have been poisoned by them for a long time."
"Of course. If Madam Chang likes, I'll accompany you to the end. But we have to drink this glass of wine in our hands now."
Chang Xixi and Gu Rongyu picked up their wine glasses at the same time and drank them.
Everyone was stunned!
When had the general ever been so proactive in urging people to drink? He had attended palace banquets before, but who had ever seen him leave his seat?
That's simply impossible!
After Gu Rongyu left, Chang Xixi didn't sit down either. She bowed directly to the emperor, the imperial concubine, and the queen, "Your Majesty, I am too drunk to handle the wine and I have to leave first. Please allow me to leave."
"Go ahead. I see you're tired. You've been busy with the princess' affairs these days, and it's hard on you."
After getting the emperor's permission, Chang Xixi left in a swagger, and Gu Rongyu also said goodbye to the emperor and left the banquet as well.
The two of them left at the same time, and many people were wondering what the relationship between them was.
To have such a reaction upon meeting each other, either they knew each other before, or they had a secret. However, they didn't dare to talk about these things openly.
Chang Xixi had already been sitting in the tavern on the street. She ordered a few jars of wine.
Li Da stood behind her and reminded her softly, "Madam, if you don't go back, the young master will make a fuss. We should go back early."
"No rush, why are you rushing? Isn't the real boss here yet? No rush, let's take a look first. What on earth is he going to do? He disappeared, where did he go for so long?"
Not long after, Gu Rongyu came with Qingnan!
Qingnan and Li Dayi looked at each other, not knowing what expression to make. These two people were really troublesome. Couldn't they just recognize each other directly and not be angry?
You have to fight to the death! You clearly know the other party's identity, but you have to make it so awkward! Why are you still toasting? Can't you tell the emperor yourself?
They are husband and wife, can't they get married again? They already have children, they are all old couples.
That's what they thought, but the two main characters just drank from the bowls.
One said, "General, you are so handsome. Why don't you marry me? But I have a child, and I don't know if you like it. I don't think you will like it. Forget it! I don't think we are suitable. How about this! Let's be together and throw away the child."
Gu Rongyu's mouth twitched. What were these words?
What?
Isn't the child theirs? They've recognized each other, are together, and the child just happens to be theirs, isn't that perfect? Why make it so complicated?
One of them said, "Madam Chang, I don't think this is a good idea. Although the child is not my biological child, I will treat him as if he were my own. How about you let him call me dad? I think that's a good idea, what do you think? After we finish this drink, we will go to the emperor to ask for an explanation. Although you are already a widow, widows in this dynasty can remarry."
"I think the child will affect our relationship. It's better to get rid of it. It would be too much of a hindrance to have a child around when we're together."
Chang Xixi still didn't change her words and kept nagging the child about this.
"Drink! Stop talking nonsense! Drink! Waiter, bring more wine. Tonight, we're going to drink until dawn." Gu Rongyu asked the waiter to order more wine.
Chang Xixi began to complain, "I wish my husband could drink as much as you. Unfortunately, his health is not good, so I often ask him not to drink at all. Do you know? He looks so good, but he is useless. He is good in that aspect, but... it's bad."
"What's wrong? Why don't you say anything? Madam Chang always says that your husband is good-looking, but not as good-looking as me. I saw you praise me as soon as we met."
"Yes, that's really good. She has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a red mouth, a white face, and a particularly tall figure. She looks very good in clothes."
As Chang Xixi spoke, her eyes sparkled and she looked like a crazy fan.
Of course Gu Rongyu knew that this was referring to him!
Unfortunately, Chang Xixi doesn't want to recognize him now, there is nothing she can do.
Chang Xixi picked up the bowl and took a sip. "You are somewhat similar. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't know how to fight or wield a sword. He is just a weak scholar. He is nothing like you, a military commander! I suspect he just wants to be a military commander."
"What do you mean?"
Under the influence of alcohol, Gu Rongyu asked.
"Because! On his desk, there's always a military book or various military strategies, which dazzles people. He reads them whenever he has nothing to do. What's the point of a scholar reading those?"
