Originally, Li Qinzai was the only guest at the palace banquet tonight, but the current situation is that the guest is not drunk, and the host seems to be distracted.
Li Qinzai sat behind the low table and kept blinking. Should he get drunk with Li Zhi tonight, or should he take it easy and not really drink too much, otherwise the drunkards, the monarch and his ministers, would do some crazy things.
Empress Wu sat quietly next to Li Zhi. She knew Li Zhi's mood today, so she didn't say much. Li Zhi raised his glass and she followed suit. Li Zhi drank a full drink, but she took a shallow sip, obviously showing little emotion, and licked it.
Li Qinzai suddenly felt that his friendship with Li Zhi was not that deep, so he licked it like Empress Wu did.
Licking with someone else's wife, and this wife is still a queen, I'm actually a little excited when I think about it.
Anyone who has ever worked knows that when the boss is in high spirits, it’s best for the employees at the same desk to keep their heads clear.
The boss can have unscrupulous ways when he is drunk. If the employees get drunk with the boss and act unscrupulously with him, everyone will be sober the next day, and the employees will most likely be unlucky.
After the boss sobers up, he recalls every detail of his drunken days, and the images in his mind are mostly of employees, so imagine how the boss feels after he sobers up.
Now Li Qinzai's boss is in high spirits, as if he is drinking chicken blood instead of wine.
Therefore, Li Qinzai must be sober now and not cause trouble for himself just because of his lust for pleasure.
"Jingchu, drink this cup with me!" Li Zhi laughed and drank it all.
Li Qinzai held the cup, took a sip, then put down the wine cup and praised: "Good wine!"
Li Zhi held another cup: "Since it is good wine, let's have another cup!"
After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Li Qinzai took a sip as usual and praised: "It is indeed a good wine!"
As the monarch and his ministers came and went, Li Zhi drank five or six cups, while Li Qinzai never poured out the wine cup in his hand and only suffered a slight skin injury.
Empress Wu on the side could see clearly and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, but she didn't expose Li Qinzai's trick.
After drinking a few drinks, Li Zhi also realized something was wrong. He stared at the wine cup in Li Qinzai's hand and then looked at his own wine cup.
"Jingchu, you fooled me like a fool. Do you know that you are deceiving me?" Li Zhi said dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty, I am a light drinker, just like a white lotus flower that cannot withstand the cold wind..." Li Qinzai explained in a bitchy manner.
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi shouted: "What nonsense, White Lotus! I'm used to your bad habits!"
Then Li Zhi walked up to Li Qinzai, picked up a wine jar with one hand, put one into Li Qinzai's hand, opened the other one and drank from it.
After finishing the drink, Li Zhi stared at him with red eyes. Li Qinzai was frightened. Before he could cheat, Li Zhi held up his arm and poured wine roughly.
Li Qinzai struggled desperately with his hands and feet. Half of the jar of wine spilled on his clothes, and the other half ended up in his stomach.
Li Zhi smiled with satisfaction: "That's right. The king and his ministers enjoy and get drunk together. How can I tolerate cheating and slippery people!"
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly, "You really don't talk about China's thousands-year-old wine table culture at all. How can any leader give wine to employees? The most important thing is that your mother-in-law is still watching soberly.
If the leader is drunk and the mother-in-law has been dissatisfied for a long time, the employees and the mother-in-law will look at each other for thousands of years...
Hey, the plot is so familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere inappropriate, and the lines can’t help but pop out of my mind.
After Li Qinzai thought about it, he was suddenly shocked and secretly reminded himself that he must not get drunk tonight, otherwise he would ride on his friend's wife while drunk, which would be rude.
What's more, this friend's wife is a ruthless character, and once she gets involved, it will be a lifelong nightmare.
As a result, Li Qinzai became more and more calm. Not only did he rarely drink, he even did not dare to take a second look at the dancers dancing in the middle of the hall.
Theoretically, the dancers who dance in circles in the palace are also "friends' wives", and it will be fatal to ride on them.
Li Zhi seemed to be deliberately trying to get drunk tonight. Li Qinzai did not respond positively to drinking. The employees were not sociable and did not know how to take the initiative to toast the leader. Li Zhi was disappointed and had to drink it himself.
One jar after another, Li Zhi quickly drank too much, his mental state became more and more excited, and even had a bit of the charm of Wu Min's crazy batch, and Li Qinzai became more and more frightened.
Want to leave, want to go home...
Half an hour later, Li Zhi's figure began to stagger, and his face turned red like an adulterer who had just been caught in bed by someone else's husband.
Waving his hand, Li Zhi shooed away the dancers in the hall whose legs were weak from dancing, and suddenly grabbed Li Qinzai's wrist.
Li Qinzai was shocked: "Your Majesty, no! My hemorrhoids are not healed..."
Empress Wu chuckled, but Li Zhi was so dizzy that he didn't understand.
"I'm a little dizzy. Jingchu, come with me for a walk and have some drinks."
Empress Wu whispered from the side: "Jingchu, let's have some fun with His Majesty. Your Majesty has really been too tired these years."
Li Zhi dragged Li Qinzai, and the emperor and his ministers staggered out of Anren Hall.
Empress Wu sat alone in the suddenly deserted hall, holding a pot and filling a glass of wine for herself. She raised her face to look at the waning moon outside the hall, and then held a cup to admire the moonlight.
"Datang...Wan Sheng!"
After finishing her words, she finished her drink in one gulp. Empress Wu, who had remained calm just now, finally showed a hint of excitement on her face in this deserted hall.
The prosperity of the country is also her glory.
The prosperous times are not far away.
…………
Li Zhi dragged Li Qinzai, and the two staggered in the deep palace.
There were more than two people walking together. The emperor was traveling around the palace at night, and there were countless people in the palace. Teams of armored guards held torches in front of them to clear the way, and groups of eunuchs and maidens followed with lanterns.
Li Qinzai simply gave up the struggle and let this guy run wild tonight.
I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. I am so happy today because I only accepted a golden tooth. In the future, when the Tang Dynasty destroys Tubo, you will not be allowed to fly into the sky and urinate in the elixir furnace of the Supreme Lord.
Li Zhi was swaying, his face was red, his mouth was full of alcohol, and he was very drunk.
"Jingchu, I am very happy today, very happy..."
"Yes, I can see that His Majesty is indeed very happy."
"I don't know how I survived these years...those bastard ministers, every time they go to memorandum, they refuse to talk things out properly. The beginning of the memorandum is 'What happened to the late emperor?', and then they say what I did. In short, it's me. In governing the country, the country, and the country, he is not as good as the late emperor."
Li Zhi showed a sad expression and sighed: "I...even though I have tried my best, everyone in the world still thinks that I am not as good as the late emperor. After being the emperor for more than ten years, I have heard people calling me a coward in my dreams. Some people look up to the sky and lament that the late emperor left too early and left the country to this cowardly and incompetent prodigal..."
Caught off guard, Li Qinzai found that his neck was tightly held by Li Zhi's arm, and the oxygen suddenly disappeared. Li Qinzai was shocked and struggled, but Li Zhi was drunkenly mumbling in his ear.
"Jingchu, thanks to you, thanks to you... It's you who make me feel proud today, while Yixue has been frustrated for many years!"
"I...finally walked out of that shadow."
