Chapter 129: Drinking



Seal on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

On the day of the seal, a banquet was held in the palace as a reward from the emperor to his civil and military ministers.

Yan Bao's entire family can enter the palace and meet the Thirteenth Prince. Yan Bao can speak and is quite happy.

Yan Bao was wearing furry clothes, and Mrs. Shen was afraid that she would be cold, so she bought a lot of fur to make cloaks for Yan Bao. The furry clothes were very cute.

And mink fur.

Yan Bao knew that Mrs. Shen was afraid of the cold, so he asked Mrs. Shen to make a hand cage, which kept her hands warm.

Mrs. Shen also liked it and made several as spares.

Mrs. Shen felt that she could not let her daughter down for her filial piety.

Yan Bao was wearing a fox fur cape, delicate and adorable. Under the furry hood, he had a pretty little face, blinking a pair of adorable eyes, like obsidian.

Shen Shoufu held his daughter tightly and wouldn’t let go, his big hands squeezing Yan Bao’s small hands to keep her warm.

When she arrived at the palace, she also told Yan Bao that if anyone bullied her, she should not endure it and just tell him.

Yan Bao nodded: "Don't worry, Daddy. If anyone dares to bully me, I will curse them to death. My crow's mouth is very powerful. Whatever I say will definitely come true."

Shen Shoufu thought about it and realized that he was worrying in vain. His daughter was not the one who would suffer any loss.

As Shen Shoufu was about to leave, Yan Bao grabbed his hand and wrote on his palm: Drink less, don’t drink with others, it’s bad for your health.

[Especially that old Grand Tutor. He was old and had underlying health issues. He drank a few more cups and died suddenly. In the end, you, my father, lost a life. The Grand Tutor's family blamed you for forcing him to drink.]

[Dad, be careful. Don't drink with the old master. It's fatal.]

Shen Shoufu: “…”

And about this, isn’t Master Feng a good drinker?

We were fine when we drank together last time. He said he was in good health recently and even invited me to drink with him the day before yesterday.

Yan Bao said that something would happen, and Shen Shoufu didn’t dare to question it.

Looking at Master Feng not far away, he was chatting and laughing with a few familiar adults, stroking his beard from time to time. He looked in good condition and didn't seem to be about to...

Shen Shoufu shook his head secretly, reminding himself not to drink too much.

Even if you offend Master Feng, you cannot drink with him.

Madam Shen also heard Yan Bao's thoughts, and looked at Chief Minister Shen and warned: "Husband, drink less. Some time ago, I heard someone was drunk and still not awake. It's lively today, and it's inevitable that someone will urge you to drink. Husband, don't drink too much."

Mrs. Shen usually advises Shen Shoufu to drink less, but today she gave him a few words of advice, and no one paid any attention.

Especially the Shen family members who heard Yan Bao's mind reading didn't think much about it.

Mrs. Shen spoke, and Big Brother Shen nodded in agreement: "It's true that you should drink less. If Dad wants to drink, I'll buy you some good wine when I get home. A while ago, a friend brought some sauce-flavored wine from another place. It's said that it tastes good. Dad can try it."

Yan Bao raised an eyebrow: [Soy sauce? Maotai?]

Brother Shen raised his eyebrows. What is Moutai? It was given to me by a friend, and it doesn’t seem to be called that name.

Shen Shoufu glanced at Yan Bao, what kind of wine is Moutai, is it delicious?

Mrs. Shen doesn’t like drinking and is not interested.

Second Brother Shen curled his lips. He was still young and couldn’t drink.

"Okay, keep it for your father." Shen Shoufu was interested in the sauce-flavored liquor that his eldest son mentioned. Of course, he was more interested in the liquor called Maotai that Yan Bao mentioned in his heart.

Almost all the guests for the banquet had arrived. Yan Bao and Madam Shen looked back every few steps, reminding Chief Minister Shen to drink less.

Shen Shoufu smiled and nodded, watching them walk away before smiling and going to find Taifu Feng.

Taifu Feng smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Prime Minister Shen, saying, "I heard that the emperor prepared a lot of fine wine today, including a new tribute of sauce-flavored liquor. It is said to have a mellow taste, spicy taste, and a fragrant aroma. You can have an extra glass then."

Chief Minister Shen coughed a few times deliberately: “I’m afraid it’s not possible today, I’ll accompany the Taifu to drink a few more cups another day.”

Taifu Feng felt disappointed, but he still persuaded Shen Shoufu: "It's okay, it's okay to drink a few glasses. I used to have a cough and feel uncomfortable, but I still drank. Isn't this how I live well?"

Shen Shoufu looked at Master Feng who could not be persuaded, and found an excuse to slip away, not wanting to take the blame.

He tried to persuade him, but Master Feng refused to listen, and there was nothing he could do.

If you can't persuade me, can you still hide?

Yan Bao, watching her father walk away from Master Feng and not join in the fun, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Master Feng, who was drunk and red-faced, and shook his head.

He doesn't take care of his body, so it has nothing to do with her if he drinks himself to death.

Who made Taifu Feng see that Shen Shoufu didn't drink, and mocked Shen Shoufu a few times, saying that he didn't drink and was not a man, in order to stimulate Shen Shoufu to drink.

Chief Minister Shen would not be fooled.

He tried to persuade him, but Taifu Feng and his drunkards said, "You can't drink, and you can't let others drink. Chief Minister Shen is too overbearing. If you don't drink, we can drink more. No one will die anyway."

Shen Shoufu shook his head, walked away, and went to talk to a few adults who didn't like drinking.

The emperor saw this scene and frowned at the drunken Tutor Feng. He asked Fu Qi to keep an eye on them and not let them drink too much and lose their composure, after all, this was in the palace.

Fu Qi nodded.

Tutor Feng finished the wine in his cup and saw that there was no more wine left, so he asked the palace maid to continue.

The palace maid tried to persuade him kindly, but was glared at by Master Feng. He looked at the unfinished wine on other people's tables, took it over, poured a full glass for himself, and poured a glass for everyone else.

Someone still hadn't filled his cup. Seeing that there was some wine on Prime Minister Shen's table, he smiled and said, "Brother Shen, you can't drink, and you can't waste the emperor's kindness. How about taking the wine pot in front of you?"

"Okay!" Shen Shoufu didn't refuse on the surface, but when he gave the wine jug to the palace maid, he deliberately slipped his hand.
