Soon, some ministers, unable to hold their liquor, fell to the ground one after another, snoring and drifting off to sleep.
His family members covered their faces and turned their heads away. It was so embarrassing, they couldn't bear to look.
Fortunately, the palace staff had anticipated this outcome and quickly and efficiently took the drunken minister to the rest room.
Those ministers with a high tolerance for alcohol, upon seeing this scene, were further aroused in their competitive spirit and vowed to compete with Jing Qingyun.
Jing Qingyun welcomes all who come.
He maintained a calm and composed smile throughout, with only two patches of red on his cheeks proving that he had indeed been drinking.
Looking at Jing Qingyun, who was surrounded by ministers, Nangong Hanmo felt a little worried. He turned his head to look at Yue Yuqian, who was sitting next to him.
"Qianqian, our son-in-law is being attacked. Do you want me to help him out?"
Yueyu Qian smiled calmly, "No need. Your son-in-law knows what he's doing. He never does anything he's not sure of. Besides, if he couldn't hold his liquor, Weiwei would have already stepped in to help him out. Why would it be your turn?"
Nangong Hanmo thought about it and realized that he was worrying unnecessarily.
I didn't see his daughter; he was chatting happily with the Jing family.
His son was currently making friends with the families of officials of similar age, along with his two good friends, Jing Qingyue and Xie Chun.
Grandmother Qianqian and Madam Jing were surrounded by a group of women, who were asking them for advice on skincare.
Lu Zhaoqiu and her daughter were no longer as reserved as they had been the day before, and were chatting and laughing with the female relatives they got along with.
The main hall was chaotic and noisy. Although it was too noisy, wasn't that just the life of the world?
It's been years since the palace has been this lively. It's rare to see everyone so happy, so let them make a ruckus!
"Um, Qianqian." Nangong Hanmo, like a little woman, showed a hint of shyness on her usually cool face.
Yueyu Qian glanced at him and said, "Speak your mind, or shut up!"
Nangong Hanmo, the ultimate love-obsessed man, didn't care at all what Yue Yuqian said about him or how she disliked him; all he wanted to do was please her.
"Qianqian, I know you like watching fireworks, so I've specially prepared a fireworks extravaganza for you tonight. The fireworks will be in full bloom at midnight."
Yueyu's eyes sparkled as she turned to look directly into Nangong Hanmo's sincere eyes, letting out a silent sigh.
The man in front of her, who was trying so hard to please her, was not a good father, but he cherished and loved her dearly.
Let's take another look!
If he behaves well during this period, she will reluctantly forgive him; dragging things out like this is not a solution.
Nangong Hanmo was a little nervous. "Qianqian, why are you looking at me like that? Is it because I did something wrong? Or because I shouldn't have acted on my own?"
Yue Yuqian blinked and turned to look at Sheng Lingwei in the main hall. "I just wanted to see you. Don't overthink it."
"Phew!" Nangong Hanmo breathed a long sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. I thought I had done something wrong."
Yue Yuqian ignored Nangong Hanmo, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He shamelessly served Yue Yuqian food, peeled melon seeds for her, and poured her wine... keeping him very busy.
Yueyu Qian: "..." Never mind, she doesn't take things too seriously like someone obsessed with love.
The area in the main hall where Prime Minister Ye's family members were seated.
Madam Ye disregarded her image as a lady of high society, her face full of anger as she tightly held onto her unruly daughter.
"Ye Ruoyu, if you don't behave, you can forget about ever going to Chaozhou Kingdom to find Shenyang, whom you long for."
Ye Ruoyu was extremely helpless and explained again.
"Mother, I've told you so many times, I know Her Highness the Princess, we're even good friends, why won't you believe me?"
Madam Ye sneered, "Who is Her Highness the Princess? Someone like you dares to be Her Highness's friend? Don't you even know your own worth?"
She was truly speechless about her daughter!
"Mother, my dear mother, please believe me this time, okay? I really didn't lie to you."
"Shut up, I beg you, please shut up too! It's one thing for you to be unreliable before, but now you've actually set your sights on the princess! You're incredibly audacious! Do you want everyone in the Prime Minister's mansion to suffer because of you?"
Who is Your Highness?
That was a legendary figure who knew everything from astronomy to geography, and could control thunder, water, and fire.
With her own daughter being so stupid, lacking both literary and martial skills, she is completely unqualified to be a friend of the princess!
Madam Ye glared at Ye Ruoyu with exasperation and warned in a low voice, "Ye Ruoyu, if you misbehave again, I will immediately call your father and have him discipline you personally."
Ye Ruoyu pouted and pointed with her chin at where Prime Minister Ye was, "Mother, look, your dear husband is drunk and is being held by my brother right now."
Madam Ye's heart tightened, and she quickly looked in that direction.
Her husband was flushed, hugging his son, laughing and crying, and acting crazy with his eyes closed!
She was completely overwhelmed; both father and daughter were a handful, but thankfully her son was reliable enough.
Ye Ruoyu shook Madam Ye's hand, pleading and acting cute, "Mother, my dearest mother, please have pity on your daughter! Please let your daughter go and see Her Highness the Princess, okay? I beg you."
"No!" Madam Ye refused without hesitation.
"Alright!" A sly glint flashed in Ye Ruoyu's eyes. "Mother, since you don't agree, then I'll have to use my trump card."
Madam Ye immediately sensed something was wrong.
Then her daughter suddenly stood up and shouted loudly in Sheng Lingwei's direction, "Big sister~~ Look over here, it's me, Ye Ruoyu, your sweet little darling~~"
Ye Ruoyu?
Sheng Lingwei's eyes lit up with joy. She was just wondering where to find her last good friend, and here she was, jumping out on her own. Wasn't that a pleasant surprise?
Madam Ye was startled and quickly stood up to cover Ye Ruoyu's mouth, "You brat, shut up right now, shut your mouth!"
Ye Ruoyu struggled and protested, "Waaaaah..."
Just then, Sheng Lingwei appeared in front of the mother and daughter in an instant. Madam Ye was terrified and hurriedly pulled Ye Ruoyu to kneel down, while begging for forgiveness.
"Your Highness, I am so sorry. My daughter has mental issues. She didn't mean to disturb you. It's all my fault. Please, Your Highness..."
With a smile in her eyes, Sheng Lingwei reached out to stop the mother and daughter from kneeling.
"Mrs. Ye, you've had a tough time. Having such a troublesome daughter must have caused you a lot of worry over the years!"
"That's right!" Madam Ye was truly heartbroken and in tears. She had finally met a kindred spirit who understood her, and she wanted to pour out her heart on the spot.
But after seeing Sheng Lingwei's face clearly, her mind immediately cleared, and she hurriedly knelt down to apologize in awe.
"Your Highness, this humble woman..."
Sheng Lingwei: "Madam Ye, there's no need for further words. I am not a person who kills indiscriminately and without reason."
“That’s right, that’s right.” Ye Ruoyu helped Madam Ye up with a smile. “Mother, my old lady is very kind. She won’t blame you.”
Mrs. Ye: ...dt-tb
Husband, help me! Please wake up and control your daughter!
