Green Fairy was startled and then noticed that Wen Nongnong was leaning on Bai Li's shoulder, looking at her with a smile. It was clear that she had been listening to Bai Li's words for a long time.
She stammered, "Miss..."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you slowly after we finish eating." Wen Nong Nong comforted him, then stopped paying attention to him and picked up the wine pot next to her. She poured a glass for Gu Linchao herself and placed it next to him, then poured one for herself as well.
Gu Linchao understood, picked up his wine cup, and said to everyone present, "Everyone has worked very hard during this period. From now on, we will be staying in Xiangzhou. Today, I have prepared a small feast, and I hope everyone can enjoy it to the fullest."
"Yes, everyone has worked hard these past few days. Let's all relax tonight and have a good time," Wen Nongnong said, raising her glass as well.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly raised their wine glasses and said in unison, "Thank you, Your Highness and Your Highness. We are not tired."
Besides Steward Wang and others who were usually close to Gu Linchao and Wen Nongnong, there was also Lu Yingying, eight generals who came from the camp in the suburbs of the capital, and the Third Elder who escorted Gu Linchao and Wen Nongnong to Xiangzhou.
Gu Linchao couldn't see it, but after hearing their response, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He didn't say anything more, but simply tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Apart from Lu Yingying, who was pregnant and couldn't drink, everyone else downed their drinks upon seeing this.
After drinking, everyone relaxed and chatted about all sorts of things.
A lot has happened recently, so it's rare to be so relaxed and harmonious at this moment. Everyone is in a good mood, and even the usually strict and disciplined Butler Wang accidentally drank a few more glasses of wine.
The generals were all seasoned veterans of battle, known for their forthright and unpretentious natures. Coupled with their joyful occasion, they drank heartily.
For a time, the sounds of clinking glasses and playing drinking games filled the air.
Watching everyone at the table drinking heartily and carefree, Wen Nongnong was also infected by their mood.
A smile appeared on her lips.
If everyone can continue to live peacefully and happily away from the capital, it doesn't matter if we stay in Xiangzhou for the rest of our lives and never return to the capital.
But the fear is that the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease...
Thinking of this, the smile on her face faded a little.
As expected, Gu Linchao guessed correctly when Gu Heng came to Xiangzhou. Gu Heng did not give up after failing to obtain the military tally, and he actually set up an ambush on the road to take his life.
Fortunately, Gu Linchao foresaw that Gu Heng would have a backup plan, so he led her away from the group beforehand.
Because he is blind, if he stays in the group, everyone will have to protect him if he is attacked, which will hinder everyone's ability to fight back with full force.
So he might as well leave the team.
In this way, Si Yi and his companions would have no worries if they encountered assassins.
Unexpectedly, Si Yi drove the carriage straight into the bottom of the cliff.
Those assassins must have thought she and Gu Linchao had fallen off the cliff and died, which is why they were able to reach Xiangzhou so smoothly.
But this matter cannot be kept from Gu Heng for long. He will soon find out that they are not dead, and then he will definitely take action.
If Gu Linchao regained his sight, there would be nothing to fear, but alas...
Thinking of this, a trace of worry crossed her mind.
Feeling somewhat melancholy, she couldn't help but pick up her wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.
After she drank three cups in a row, Gu Linchao noticed and took her cup away.
"Although Nong Nong has a good alcohol tolerance, she shouldn't drink too much," Gu Linchao advised gently.
"Everyone's happy today, Your Highness, please let me drink." Wen Nongnong shook his arm and pleaded.
Gu Linchao was shaken so badly by her that he couldn't make a bigger commotion with everyone around him, so he compromised and said, "I can only have one more drink."
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong immediately released his hand, took the cup back from his hand, and placed it in front of Bai Li.
Bai Li obediently poured her a glass.
After Wen Nongnong finished drinking, she placed the cup back in front of her.
Bai Li stared at her with wide eyes and mouthed, "Your Highness only allows you to have one more cup."
Wen Nongnong glared: "Are you listening to him or me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li picked up the wine pot and silently filled her cup.
Wen Nongnong's lips curled up slightly. Just as she picked up the cup and brought it to her lips, the man's slender hand suddenly reached out and snatched the cup away from her.
“Nongnong is untrustworthy,” Gu Linchao said in a low voice.
Wen Nongnong: "..."
He can't see, so how can he be so perceptive?
Wen Nongnong propped her forehead up and acted coy, "I...I think I drank too much, I don't remember how many drinks I had."
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao said to Bai Li and Lü Qiao, "The princess has drunk too much. Help her inside to rest."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
Bai Li and Lü Qiao glanced at Gu Linchao, then at Wen Nong Nong, and decisively stood up, one on each side, to help her into the house.
Lu Yingying found it somewhat amusing.
That girl, Nong Nong, is really greedy.
Cui Hao, one of the eight generals, couldn't help but urge Gu Linchao to drink when he saw that Gu Linchao was unusually approachable today.
"Your Highness, I would like to offer you a toast."
Gu Linchao had no choice but to ask Wang Houde to fill his cup, and then he drank a cup with him.
Seeing this, the others naturally refused to be outdone and also raised their wine cups, saying, "Your Highness, I would also like to offer you a toast."
“Drinking from a cup isn’t enough to enjoy it, let’s get the wine jar!” Liu Qian, who had the best alcohol tolerance, egged them on.
Immediately, a servant brought over a wine jar.
Liu Qian took it without hesitation, and after removing the mud seal, he handed it to Gu Linchao first.
"I have always known that Your Highness has a great capacity for alcohol, but I have never had the honor of witnessing it. Today, I hope that Your Highness will not refuse and will drink to your heart's content with me and the others."
