Xiao Yan patted his shoulder and comforted him, "What are you worried about? Nong Nong's drunkenness is just the right opportunity for my nephew, isn't it? If the two of them end up together, you'll be a hero. Your master will be too busy rewarding you to punish you."
Upon hearing this, Wang Houde immediately understood his meaning. "Yes, how could he not have thought of that?"
The master and the princess have not yet consummated their marriage. If they can consummate their marriage tonight, it will be a great joy, and he will be a great hero.
"This servant knows what to do." After saying that, he quickly left Qingfeng Pavilion and went to inform Gu Linchao of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yan felt relieved, turned around and went back to the private room to continue pouring drinks for the group.
When it was almost time, he said to Atuo Qingye and Atuo Jianghua, "It's getting late, you two should go back to the inn to rest."
"No, no, I can still drink... Duke Jingguo, come, come, let's drink some more." Atuo Jianghua grabbed the wine pot next to her and was about to pour wine for Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan reached out and covered the cup, smiling as he said, "Consort A-Tuo has a good capacity for alcohol, but I, the Duke, am not a good drinker and am already drunk. Let's drink again next time."
Atuo Jianghua gave him a disdainful look and said drunkenly, "The Duke of Jingguo looks tall and strong, but he's no match for the men of our Hui region. He gets drunk after such a small amount of alcohol. How boring..."
Xiao Yan: "..."
If he didn't have important business to attend to later, he would have made sure she knew what it meant to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. How dare she compare him to those barbarians from Xinjiang? She was truly ignorant of her own limitations.
Forget it, she's just a fool, he won't argue with her.
Atuo Qingye was still somewhat sober when he said apologetically to Xiao Yan, "My sister is drunk. Please don't take her words to heart, Duke Jing."
Xiao Yan said good-naturedly, "No, no, Your Highness, please help her back to rest."
Atuo Qingye dared not let Atuo Jianghua stay any longer, lest she reveal her drunken state and become a laughingstock. So he helped the tipsy Atuo Jianghua up and said, "Then I will take my sister back to the inn first. I entrust the Regent's Consort to your care."
Xiao Yan said seriously, "Don't worry, my nephew will come to pick her up in a little while."
Without giving it any further thought, Atuo Qingye nodded and helped the reluctant Atuo Jianghua walk out.
"Brother, I want to drink more..."
"We can't drink anymore today, we can drink again tomorrow."
The sound of their voices faded into the distance.
Wen Nongnong was already a little drunk, her cheeks flushed. She leaned back in her chair, rubbed her forehead, and when everyone left, she got up as well.
"Uncle, you can drink it yourself. I have to go back." With that, he walked out unsteadily.
Xiao Yan quickly stopped her and said kindly, "Don't rush off, my nephew will be here to pick you up soon."
Wen Nongnong narrowed her eyes and looked at him in surprise. "You mean Gu Linchao?"
When Xiao Yan saw that she was calling out Gu Linchao's name, he figured she was quite drunk. He smirked, thinking that this was going to be interesting.
He suppressed his excitement, rubbed his hands together, and said, "That's right, it's him."
When Wen Nongnong heard that Gu Linchao was coming to pick her up, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. "No, he's so old-fashioned and serious. I can't let him see me drinking. Otherwise, he'll put me under house arrest again."
With that, she decisively walked towards the window.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed, "What are you doing?"
Wen Nongnong pushed open the window. "Nonsense, of course we're running away."
