Yuan Yao held her wine cup and looked up, only to see Yun Tan and Bai Yan standing at the door.
Yun Tan smiled very happily, her voice sweet: "Sister-in-law Yao Yao, Brother Yun Chan, and all the uncles, wishing you a happy and healthy Lunar New Year's Eve!"
Xie Ning smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Yuntan? Weren't you at the palace banquet?"
Yun Tan happily stepped across the threshold and walked inside: "Uncle Ning, hehe..."
After laughing, he bowed in the direction of the Ninth Prince and said, "Tan'er knew that Uncle Yuan was coming back, so she left the palace banquet and came over here to take a look."
Uncle Yuan and Uncle Ying, may you have a peaceful and healthy Lunar New Year's Eve. You must have had a long journey.
Bai Yan, with a sword hanging at his waist, walked over with a mature and steady demeanor, bowing and greeting everyone.
After exchanging greetings, he explained to Yun Chan, "Everything is fine at the palace banquet, so I brought the prince over to say hello."
After speaking, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards a certain place.
Yuan Yao followed Bai Yan's gaze and saw it fall on Jing'er, who was sitting with Canfeng, Poyue, and other guards in front of a hot pot...
Jing'er was holding chopsticks, fighting with Po Yue over a piece of fish.
The two of them kept their voices very low and their movements very small.
Jing'er pressed down on the chopsticks: "Give them back to me!"
"No," Po Yue replied expressionlessly.
Jing'er became anxious: "This meat is mine! I just put it in!"
Po Yue remained unmoved: "I just placed one too, this is mine."
"How is that possible?" Jing'er gritted her teeth in frustration.
Po Yue, holding a piece of fish between her fingers, said, "How about this, you call it, and if it responds, it's yours."
Yuan Yao: "?"
Hahaha……
Po Yue is so skinny all day long!
Jing'er glared at Po Yue angrily: "I really want to hit you!"
Po Yue replied, "Oh."
"puff……"
Yuan Yao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After laughing, she noticed that Bai Yan's expression looked a little off.
Bai Yan looked as if he had been hit hard, and withdrew his gaze in frustration.
As soon as he turned around, Yuan Yao saw Po Yue put the fish into the night bowl: "Senior Brother, eat the fish."
Looking at the meat that had suddenly appeared in the bowl, Ye was both flattered and uneasy.
The fish almost fell off while I was eating it...
Bai Yan didn't look in that direction any further. Seeing that Yun Tan had obediently finished greeting everyone, he reminded her, "Your Highness, we should go back to the banquet."
After all, with Yun Chan absent, Yun Tan had to return to the banquet to oversee things; otherwise, the ministers might get drunk and start fighting.
Yun Tan glanced at Yun Chan and said obediently and sensibly, "Brother Yun Chan, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. Don't drink too much."
Yun Chan nodded: "Mm."
Yun Tan pulled her fox fur coat tighter and obediently followed Bai Yan out of the Lantai Palace.
Inside the pavilion, everyone was eating and drinking, creating a lively atmosphere.
Because she was happy, Yuan Yao drank a glass of wine.
Not only Yuan Yao drank it, but Xie Ning did too.
Xie Ning, as always, cannot drink alcohol.
After having two drinks, she started walking unsteadily, hugged a pillar, and started acting cute, punching and kicking, and finally even started biting...
It's a long story.
The Ninth Prince couldn't stand it any longer and casually pointed to a few guards: "Send Xie Ning back to his room."
The bodyguard put down his chopsticks and was about to get up to help the person.
He Yin put down her wine cup, stood up, and said, "I'll see him off."
"Yes." The Ninth Prince nodded.
So, in front of everyone, Heyin walked over and gently patted Xie Ning's cheek: "A Ning, let's go home with Master."
Xie Ning was hugging a pillar, his drunken eyes unusually bright: "Master? Liar!"
He looked up at the pillar, his white hair and hairband fluttering in the night wind: "Master, hurry and catch the kidnapper!"
This kidnapper wanted to lure A-Ning away; he's so wicked..."
As he spoke, he let out a burp.
Tsuru-on: "..."
He Yin sighed, and under everyone's watchful eyes, bent down, placed her hands on Xie Ning's waist, and with a forceful lift, hoisted him up.
Disoriented, Xie Ning cried out in alarm from He Yin's shoulder, "Master, help! Master, a kidnapper is trying to abduct Aning..."
With her seemingly frail and thin body, He Yin carried Xie Ning outside, saying, "Ning, if you don't shut up, your master won't give you candy tomorrow."
With just one sentence, Xie Ning obediently shut up.
Yuan Yao remained in shock until the hem of their clothes disappeared by the door.
She put down her teacup, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and mumbled, her tongue slurring, "Am I drunk...?"
Uncle Heyin... is he that strong...?
I was shocked.
She had seen Heyin catch Xie Ning when he jumped off the boat before.
However, carrying someone on your back requires considerable strength.
After saying that, she glanced dizzily at the door again.
The person is gone.
The Ninth Prince glanced at her sideways: "Little Yao'er, are you full?"
Yuan Yao withdrew her slightly drunken and dazed gaze, sat up obediently, and replied, "Father... Yao'er is full!"
The Ninth Prince nodded, his voice gentle: "You drank a little wine tonight, go back to bed early."
Father has been traveling for days and is quite tired; he also wants to go back and rest as soon as possible.
Yuan Yao rubbed her flushed face and looked earnestly at the Ninth Prince: "When Yao'er wakes up tomorrow, will she be able to see Father?"
The Ninth Prince smiled and said, "Yes."
Yuan Yao immediately became happy.
She felt a little dizzy, but still managed to stand up by supporting herself on the edge of the table: "Father, Yao'er is going back to sleep!"
Tomorrow morning... Yao'er will make breakfast for Daddy!
Father has been away for so long... He must not have eaten properly...
Yao'er needs to nourish her father...
Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly enveloped in a large, warm embrace.
Yun Chan's eyes were slightly tipsy as he said to the Ninth Prince, "Father-in-law, Yun Chan is not a good drinker, so I will take Yao'er back first."
"Hmm." The Ninth Prince's smile faded considerably.
He glanced at Yuan Yao, who was tipsy, and said to Yun Chan, "You... never mind, let her sleep a little longer tomorrow morning."
Yun Chan's ears turned slightly red: "Okay."
He bent down, picked Yuan Yao up in his arms, and strode out of Lantai Hall, heading all the way back to Qingxin Hall.
As soon as he stepped into the bedchamber, the door slammed shut behind him.
In a side room, the palace servants had already prepared hot water.
After placing her down on the edge of the bed, Yun Chan lifted her chin and bent down to ask, "Yao'er, would you like to take a bath?"
At this moment, Yuan Yao was already so drunk that her eyes were glazed over.
She parted her pink lips slightly, looked up at Yun Chan, and nodded slowly, "Yes... right?"
Do you want it?
Should we keep it, or not?
Yun Chan smiled gently, her eyes crinkling: "Yao'er, do you still remember who I am?"
Yuan Yao looked at him, and said drunkenly, "Yun Chan! Are you... stupid?"
Is it really necessary to ask such a simple question?
Yun Chan's smile widened, and he gazed at her intently: "Father-in-law is back. All the people we love are here. The family is reunited."
Tonight, my heart is filled with joy.
So, Yao'er, I want you to know how happy I am.
"Huh?" Yuan Yao stared at him blankly. "How...how do you mean to give it up?"
Yun Chan chuckled softly: "Practice what you preach."
Light and shadow rippled in the pool.
Yuan Yao, wearing soaked clothes, was much more awake.
She pleaded, dizzy, "Yun Chan, I have something very important to tell you! It's very important!"
The candlelight flickered, and Yun Chan's fair, jade-like fingers, with their well-defined muscles, parted her collar, saying gently, "Yao'er, concentrate. We can talk about other things tomorrow morning..."
