After dinner in the palace, Song Qiyun took Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng out of the palace on behalf of Song Jue. He watched the three of them stroll away slowly before he turned back to the palace.
Although the sky was getting a little dark, the three of them hurried home without being too anxious, especially Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, who had not been back for two or three years, and they also wanted to see what Xijing had become.
Bai Meng was beside these two people, watching them look around with a smile, and occasionally explained to them, such as where there were some interesting places in the past two years, which shops they were familiar with had closed, and so on.
The three of them were talking and laughing, and time passed very quickly. They were about to arrive at the block where the Zhenguo Palace is located. The commander was about to say goodbye to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. He wanted to go back to the station to have a look. Wanyanxi’s situation.
But at this moment, a person wandered out from the path to their left. Before this person could reach them, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol. Shen Cha took two steps back unconsciously. , Shen Haolin and Bai Meng blocked in front of her.
"Yo, yo, yo, look who this is!" The drunkard staggered two steps, barely managed to stand still, squinted his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, and sneered, "Huh, this is not us. The famous Duke? And the powerful General Shen... Shen, who is so powerful in Great Xia! That... General Shen, you are hiding... What are you doing all the way here? I... I won't do anything to you !”
"My lord, are you drunk again?" Bai Meng frowned and reached out to grab the man's arm, "Shall I take you back to the house?"
"Get out of here! Drunkard... Oh, no. Prince Rui, Song Ruizhuo, pushed Bai Meng away and pointed at his nose, "Who are you? Oh, it turns out to be Xiaobaizi! Burp...burp...burp...I'm telling you, stop meddling in my business and just take care of yourself! The Duke of Guo has not returned to Beijing for many years, and I... want to have a good chat with him! "He rushed forward two steps. If Bai Meng hadn't supported him, he could have performed a stand-up stand with his face on the ground. After standing firm, he smiled at Bai Meng, "Hey, Xiao Baizi, thanks! "
"My lord, how much have you drunk?" Bai Mengyi frowned, "Such a heavy smell of alcohol must weigh two kilograms, right?"
"Two kilograms? Stop looking down on me, Xiaobaizi, is my drinking capacity that bad? Burp!" Song Ruizhuo burped and held out five fingers, "No more, no less, exactly five kilograms."
"Five pounds? Your Majesty, where did you go to drink?"
"Where else can we go? Tai...Taibailou! I...originally...hiccup...went to eat. I didn't...didn't...didn't plan to drink. But the shopkeeper Qu said that there was a new member of their family. Good wine, no matter how good it is, the amount of wine does not exceed one kilogram. I didn’t believe it, so I asked him to get it and taste it. The wine... burp... burp... taste... burp, it is indeed good, but I drank five I'm not drunk at all. So..." He swayed for a moment and burped several times, "It's just a lie!"
Bai Meng looked at Song Ruizhuo's red face, confused eyes, and incoherent words. She shook her head helplessly. She had become so drunk and said that she was not drunk. Sure enough, a drunkard would never admit it. Drunk myself.
"Yes, yes, yes. Shopkeeper Qu is a liar. I will find someone to help you regain your place. This is the fate he deserves for deceiving you. See if you...can go back and sober up. ? Take a rest for a while?" Bai Meng coughed several times due to the smell of alcohol, but did not let go of his hand holding Song Ruizhuo's arm, "Well, you'd better let me take you back!"
"Why do you talk so much every day? You are never idle!" Song Ruizhuo rolled his eyes, "Didn't I tell you that I wanted to talk to... the Duke Bingzhuye at night, and... um... "
Before Song Ruizhuo finished speaking, Bai Meng raised his hand and touched the back of his neck. He immediately rolled his eyes and passed out.
Bai Meng hugged Song Ruizhuo and nodded towards Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I will send the prince back to the mansion, and then go directly back to the camp. Let's see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Shen Haolin nodded, "Be careful on the road, don't drop the prince."
"Don't worry, it won't break!"
Seeing Bai Meng half dragging and half hugging Song Ruizhuo away, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other, shook their heads at the same time, turned and walked towards Duke Zhen.
"Prince Rui actually returned to Beijing, what a surprise!" Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, "I didn't hear anything about him before. Didn't he live well in Minzhou?"
"That place is humid, stuffy, and full of miasma. Prince Rui has been pampered since he was a child. It's strange that he can live there. It's difficult for him to stay in that place for so many years." Shen Cha sneered, "But, just follow me Look, this prince has been going to Minzhou for so many years, but nothing has changed at all. He is still eating, drinking, having fun, and proficient in everything. The late emperor wanted to let him go to a more difficult place to gain experience. , it’s all in vain.” She stopped and asked Shen Haolin to go to the mansion first, and then followed her in. “But, I have always been curious about what he committed back then, and he was thrown into a place like that by the late emperor. ?”
"Speaking of it, it's nothing. It was all caused by drinking. He was drunk and had a fight with the guards at the entrance of the palace, and he happened to be caught by the late emperor. The late emperor personally helped him sober up, and he continued to do so during the process. He wanted to drink, fight, etc. The late emperor saw that he was really making trouble, and when he sobered up, he threw him to Minzhou."
"With his style, this shouldn't be the first time he has caused trouble like this, right?" Nodding towards Ying Shisan, who was coming towards him, Shen Cha curled his lips, "Eating, drinking and having fun, he is proficient in everything. I know that he is not only one of the major universities in Xijing A frequent visitor to the restaurant, he is also a regular visitor to the Jiaofangsi. The late emperor must have been unable to stand it any longer, so he was so angry that he threw him into such a remote place in the countryside, right?"
"Maybe!" Shen Haolin smiled, pulled Shen Cha into the east wing, and signaled Ying Shisan who was following him to close the door, "Your Majesty asked him to come back, so he probably has no intention of letting him go to Minzhou again. "
"Oh? Why?" He walked inside, took off his cloak and robe, and put on the robe he wore at home. Shen Cha came over, washed his hands, and sat next to Shen Haolin, "Your Majesty, do you want to use him?"
"Who are the Duke and the boss talking about? That Prince Rui from Minzhou?" Ying Shisan, who was sitting at the door making tea, saw the two people nodding and explained, "Prince Rui has been back in Beijing for almost a month, Your Majesty I personally ordered him to come back. Don't think that Prince Rui is useless, he still has his own abilities. This time Liu Shuai went to the Japanese country, he must take him with him. He is both a supervisor and an interpreter, and his Japanese language It’s much better than those from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.”
"Liu Shuai agrees?"
"What a blessing!" After making tea, Ying Thirteen poured a bowl for the two of them and handed it over. "Prince Rui has been in Minzhou for so many years. His water quality is very good and he will not get seasick at all. This is what Liu Shuai needs to be able to grasp the situation of the Japanese anytime and anywhere."
"Where is the prince himself?" Shen Haolin put down the teacup, "Is he willing?"
"Of course I am willing." Ying Thirteen sat across from the two people. "Prince Rui is also the eldest son of the late emperor and the eldest brother of His Majesty. He will not really let himself be inactive for the rest of his life, right? Your Majesty promised him that if this time If your performance is good and Liu Shuai’s evaluation is high, you don’t need to go back to Minzhou. But if your performance is unsatisfactory, or Liu Shuai files a complaint, I’m sorry, I’ll go back to where I came from!”
"Ha, in this case, Prince Rui will probably go all out." Shen Cha took a sip of tea and glanced at Shen Haolin, "The commander-in-chief knocked out the prince today, do you think he will wake up?" How about going to the commander-in-chief to settle accounts later?"
"...Well, you can look forward to this!"
