Linglong Qingshan returned to the palace, and Emperor Sheng was delighted.
A grand banquet was held to welcome the princess and her consort.
Outsiders just thought it was a family dinner after the princess recovered.
"Have you had a good trip?"
"Reply to Father, everything went well."
"Reply to the Emperor, good luck."
"Qingshan, there is no need to be formal. The wedding is coming soon, my family. Come and have a drink with me."
Qingshan held up the golden bottle and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do it first as a courtesy." He drank it in one gulp.
Emperor Sheng took a look and said, oh, what a good time! The best way to judge character is after drinking. He winked at his son and eldest nephew next to him.
The two brothers-in-law, Qingshan, were all holding back to test him, and they immediately understood.
It was time to test people with wine, so they raised their glasses and started drinking with Qingshan.
Linglong took a look and realized that this wasn't just catching up with the wind and washing away the dust. These were the three of them coming to test Qingshan.
She pouted: "Mother, look at them!"
The queen smiled slightly and said, "That's fine~"
Linglong laughed helplessly: "Okay! I hope my father and two brothers can bear it." The men in her family are omnipotent.
But she really had never seen Qingshan drink. I wonder if this time he will be drunk and indiscriminate, which will give his father and brother a clue.
————
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Qingshan sat upright, picking up a dish for Linglong at one moment and peeling a shrimp for Linglong at another.
During a trip to Silk City, I learned the art of serving my daughter-in-law.
Qi Linlang looked at Qingshan serving Linglong, shook his head and sighed, all these flowing movements were done in one go! Skilled in making people feel distressed.
Qi Jungon didn't observe any of this, he just raised his cup and said, "One more cup!"
Qingshan put down the shrimps on his hands, wiped his hands, and raised the golden cup: "Yes!"
Linglong saw that he kept pouring wine into his stomach but gave her all the food. She became anxious and stuffed the shrimp meat into Qingshan's mouth.
Qingshan covered his mouth and chewed it. His wife fed it, so don't drop it. This bite is delicious and delicate.
Qi Jungon looked unhappy.
He opened his mouth to the elder brother next to him.
The eldest brother looked at the freshly peeled shrimp in his hand and stuffed it into his younger brother's mouth with a look of disgust.
Qi Jungon glanced at Qingshan and felt a little more balanced.
Linlang quickly called to the palace maid beside him: "Keep your eyes open and wait."
The little palace maid knelt beside His Highness the Prince and peeled shrimps, and fed Qi Jungon one mouthful at a time. He finally calmed down and stopped asking for another cup.
————
The queen took a closer look at the little palace maid. She looked good and was smart. Jun Gong didn't have a bed maid yet, so if she liked her, it would be a good idea.
The matter of choosing a concubine is also approaching, and the crown prince cannot be carried into the East Palace while he is still unmanned. Wouldn't it be a joke?
This older boy is a bit like his father, and he is late in this respect.
The queen winked at Linlang. Linlang was half-understood and half-confused, and whispered to the side: "Siyu, it's rare that His Highness the Crown Prince is happy today. You must serve him well and follow His Highness from now on."
The little palace maid felt as if she had stepped on a ladder to the sky, and shyly replied: "Yes."
The queen nodded imperceptibly.
Linlang took a look and guessed it right.
Normally, the prince is not a womanizer, and he is dedicated to sharing state affairs for his father.
Whenever I have some free time, I offend people everywhere.
Otherwise, he would just think about doting on his younger sister, pleasing his older sister, and bossing his older brother around.
Qi Linlang was waiting for a good show. If he had something to do with the palace maid tonight, Qi Linlang would have to ask him how he felt.
————
If the prince doesn't get the chance, the heirloom will have to. He raised his glass, thinking that Qingshan's alcohol capacity was unfathomable. Even if three of the masters drank from him, he would not change his expression. If this continues, wouldn't it mean that the three of you will have to drink it alone? He thought for a while and gave him something strong. Let's die together!
"Come on, go to the East Palace and get His Highness's deer antler wine."
When the old emperor heard it, he was very excited. Get him drunk! How do you know if you are a human or a ghost if you are not drunk?
Qi Jungon blinked, is that my East Palace or yours?
But he looked at his elder brother and said nothing. He was also afraid that the three of them would not be able to drink as much as one of them, and would be humiliated to all the countries in China.
————
Linglong was full, but these men hadn't had enough to drink. They were chatting and rambling, and Linglong sat next to her and tilted her head to pick vegetables for Qingshan.
Once it forms a small mountain, grab a big bowl and continue to pile it.
Anyway, a big bowl is just a few mouthfuls for her husband. A few more big bowls are just fine.
Qingshan talked loudly about the invisibility of elephants and the sound of loud voices. He lowered his head and said, "Big food has no utensils." Linglong puffed out happily.
Isn't it? If you eat too much, no big utensil will be enough. Can there be any larger vessel than a washbasin?
By this time, the emperor was already drunk.
Happy! carefree! He waved his hand: "Come here, order the craftsman to make a golden bowl, no, a golden basin! Get the biggest one for my beloved guest! Make sure you can eat enough in just one basin."
Linglong said in Qingshan's ear: "Jiao Ke is the royal son-in-law."
When Qingshan heard that his father-in-law called him son-in-law, he became happy and asked Linglong: "What should I say in reply? Isn't it appropriate to call me my father-in-law?"
Linglong quickly covered his mouth: "Don't overstep your bounds. Of course, you still call me the emperor."
Here we are whispering, and over there the deer antler wine has arrived.
This wine is so strong that most people can't even drink a glass without pouring it.
No matter how good Qingshan's drinking ability is, if one of the three of us has a drink with him, he will definitely get drunk.
Qi Linlang took the first cup.
Qi Jungon understood, and then raised a second cup.
The old emperor laughed and picked up the golden cup: "Come, Xianxu, respect your father."
Qingshan swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth without restraint, shouting: "Father!~" He finished the cup.
The queen sighed, she was stupid, she just talked nonsense after drinking some wine, she called Xianxu before the wedding was done.
Linglong looked happy.
After the show ended, Linglong looked at Qingshan worriedly: "How do you feel? Are you drunk? Are you dizzy?"
Qingshan waved his hand: "I'm not drunk or faint, but I'm a little warm-hearted."
The two brothers were helped back, and after finishing the deer antler wine, they lay down.
The emperor was also sent back to the palace, and the queen followed and took care of him.
————
At this moment, the young eunuch under his command asked for instructions: "Your Highness, the renovation of Zhuangyuan's Mansion on East Street has been completed. Should I send the consort back to Zhuangyuan's Mansion or to the guard commander's barracks?"
Linglong blinked and said to her heart that thanks to Xiao Fuzi's reminder, she was almost brought back to the Pearl Palace.
She has long been used to sleeping with Qingshan. But in the eyes of others, the two have not yet consummated their marriage and still have to put on a show.
"The No. 1 Scholar's Palace is far away. It's inconvenient to leave the palace at such a late hour. It's better to send him back to the barracks."
Qingshan waved his hand: "No need to see me off. I'll take His Highness back to the palace, and then I'll go back to the barracks myself. Please step back."
Everyone saw that he was behaving as usual. It seemed that the prince-in-law had a very good drinking capacity, so he obeyed the order and retreated obediently.
