It is the New Year after all, and although the time is wrong, the atmosphere is still there.
Song and dance performances, praises, blessings...
Even Hu Hai, who had been marginalized for a long time, offered blessings to the First Emperor, and the First Emperor responded with a smile.
The flavor of the New Year is still very strong, but the time is wrong. For Zhao Si, a foreigner, it feels a bit different after all.
It seems that I am here to attend a grand banquet, not to celebrate the New Year.
The time didn't match up, and Zhao Si... didn't have any family.
He was happy, but not happy enough.
For the First Emperor, this year was truly a watershed.
After Zhao Si came back, many things were suddenly solved. Even the man who despised destiny suddenly found that he had a feeling of destiny surrounding him in this year.
This is not an illusion, everything is going smoothly, everything has become clear, and there is no longer any clue.
The First Emperor was very happy and drank with his ministers. The wine and banquet continued, and the First Emperor was tipsy.
When the noisy celebration came to an end, all the court officials dispersed, and Zhao Si also resigned obediently.
After all, this is a palace, and Zhao Si is a foreign minister. If he does not abide by the palace restrictions, he is not qualified to stay in the palace.
The First Emperor held his head with his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked a little sleepy.
Zhao Si bowed and saluted: "I excuse myself!"
Zhao Gao also came over: "Your Majesty, please go back to the palace to rest."
After saying that, he came to the First Emperor as usual and planned to help the First Emperor go back to rest.
As soon as he came closer, the First Emperor seemed to be a little drunk, so his reaction was a little slow. He waved his hand when Zhao Gao stretched out his hand.
"Drink with me." The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si.
Zhao Si, who was about to get up and leave, stayed where he was. Zhao Gaoleng, who had reached half of his hand, was stunned on the spot.
"As you command!"
The First Emperor was obviously a little drunk, but Zhao Si could feel that the First Emperor was very happy. There were only a few big days throughout the year, so Zhao Si would naturally not say anything embarrassing at such a time.
If you get drunk, you can rest. The first emperor now lives and eats healthily under Zhao Si's supervision.
Zhao Si came up in a daze. He had drunk a lot of wine, but he was not drunk at all.
With the aura of raw jade, it is easy to develop a drinking capacity, not to mention that the alcohol content in this era is indeed not very high.
"Step back." The First Emperor glanced at Zhao Gao and did not say any more nonsense.
Zhao Gao was stunned for a moment. He seemed to realize something. He couldn't help but clenched his fingers for a moment, trying to fight for it. However, seeing that the First Emperor didn't even look at him, Zhao Gao realized that all efforts were in vain. In the end, After a moment of silence, he retreated in silence.
"Pour some wine for me." The First Emperor smiled as if he didn't realize it.
Zhao Si poured half a glass of wine for the First Emperor.
"Fill up!"
"Your Majesty, any more will make you drunk."
"Fill up!"
Zhao Si finally chose to bow to power and filled the bowl honestly for the First Emperor.
The First Emperor didn't say anything. He seemed to have called Zhao Si here just to ask for a wine companion. He didn't talk to Zhao Si much, or even drink with Zhao Si.
He just kept asking Zhao Si to pour wine and drink.
For some reason, Zhao Si felt that the First Emperor was not that happy, but since the First Emperor didn't say anything, he couldn't ask more questions. If it was some private matter that he was ashamed to talk about, wouldn't he lose his head tomorrow if he heard it today?
The First Emperor just had one cup after another, one cup after another.
Until the end, his eyes were no longer focused, and his whole person was drowsy. The First Emperor drank it all in one gulp, holding the table with one hand and pointing his finger at Zhao Si.
"Are you unhappy?" The First Emperor stared at Zhao Si.
"The old year is gone and the new year is coming. Why?" asked the First Emperor again.
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment, why was he unhappy? It was just that the New Year in that impression spanned more than two thousand years and belonged to him alone at this moment.
Especially when everyone was celebrating the New Year happily on October 1st, he seemed even more out of place as a lonely foreigner.
But how should we explain these reasons to the First Emperor?
Before Zhao Si even had time to come up with a good excuse, he saw that after asking the question, the First Emperor had covered his face on the table and made no movement.
The First Emperor was drunk...
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Zhao Si asked softly, but saw that the First Emperor made no movement.
Looking at the palace gate, I saw many maids and guards standing outside. There were only Zhao Si and the First Emperor in Nuo Da's room.
"Tsk... It's a pity that I'm not Jing Ke." Zhao Si smiled.
Later, he came outside the palace gate and prepared to call on the soldiers guarding the palace to carry the Emperor back to his palace with him.
It's not that Zhao Si can't move it by himself, it's mainly to avoid suspicion.
By coincidence, the official who is enforcing the imperial ban today is none other than Cheng Miao. This guy didn't even drink during the Chinese New Year, so he is a bit unlucky, but it is also an honor to enforce the imperial ban on such an important occasion.
"Mr. Cheng, your majesty is drunk. Can you accompany me to take your majesty back to the palace?" Zhao Si sent an invitation to Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miao has now reached the rank of doctor and is one of the key training targets of the First Emperor.
This guy replaced Li Si's Xiaozhuan with official script, so he was praised by the First Emperor, and was promoted from the official concubine to an official. After a few years of exile, his political performance was quite good, and he was summoned by the First Emperor to become a Langguan and was promoted all the way to the Langzhong. .
If nothing unexpected happens, after Cheng Miao survives for a few more years, he will be promoted to the position of Jiuqing after he is promoted from Lang Zhongling.
Cheng Miao did not refuse after hearing this, and told the soldiers on the left and right not to slack off and then enter with Zhao Si.
The two of them helped the First Emperor up, one from the left and the other from the right. Unexpectedly, the First Emperor made some movement at this moment.
The First Emperor's eyelids seemed to move, and then he staggered back a few steps and rejected Cheng Miao.
"Help me return to the palace!"
This sentence was said to Zhao Si.
Cheng Miao smiled awkwardly when he heard this and retreated outside the palace gate.
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and could only help the First Emperor alone.
But after saying this, the First Emperor seemed to have turned off his phone, and there was no movement at all. Zhao Si was silent for a moment, carrying the First Emperor on his back, and walked towards the palace.
Zhao Si may not understand other things, but whenever the First Emperor went to a palace, it would not take long for Zhao Si to figure out the road structure of the palace.
There is no way, there are too many times to enter the palace.
Zhao Si Fu carried King Zhao Si on his back. There were many soldiers and maids along the way until he reached the palace. The maid immediately opened the door sensibly and welcomed King Zhao Si Fu inside.
Zhao Si gently put the First Emperor on the bed.
"Your Majesty is drunk. You must be careful not to let the bedding cover His Majesty's mouth and nose. The weather is cold now, and you must not let His Majesty catch a cold. Prepare some hot water and clean His Majesty a little. Wait for him in front of the bed if he vomits. , must be cleaned up in time..."
It is still very troublesome to serve drunk people. The life safety of the First Emperor is too important, and he cannot live without people around him. If the respiratory tract is blocked due to vomiting and not being cleaned up in time, it will be great fun.
Zhao Si's nagging instructions made the maid look embarrassed.
"Why are you hesitant?" Zhao Si frowned.
"Your Majesty has given an order that we are not allowed to enter during the rest period." The maid said, and only then did Zhao Si notice that even when she was talking to him, the maid stopped outside the inner room.
The First Emperor had this habit for a long time, and even Zhao Gao Mengyi was ordered not to approach the First Emperor when he was resting.
Only Zhao Si is an exception.
"In urgent matters, follow authority..." Zhao Si sighed and thought about it, and it was understandable that these maids were worried.
For me, it was a matter of urgency, but for these maids, it was a violation of the king's order, so there was no need to embarrass them.
"That's all, go get some hot water..."
The maids heard the news and immediately went to fetch hot water as if they had been granted amnesty.
When the hot water came, Zhao Si picked up the Juan cloth and cleaned it briefly for the First Emperor. Then he helped the First Emperor take off his coat and tuck in the quilt.
"Prepare some hot water..."
Zhao Si was worried that the First Emperor would get up in the middle of the night and vomit again, so he asked the maid to have hot water ready at any time.
After that, he squatted there boredly. His legs were numb from squatting, so Zhao Si simply grabbed a futon from in front of the Emperor's desk in the outer room.
After sitting on his knees for a while, his legs felt uncomfortable. Zhao Si saw that the First Emperor was snoring like thunder and had no intention of waking up, so he simply sat cross-legged next to him.
Zhao Si himself drank a lot. Although he was not drunk, he was still a little tipsy. After waiting for a long time and nothing unusual happened, Zhao Si leaned his head on the bed rail and dozed off.
Not long after the fight, the First Emperor made some changes.
Zhao Si's worries are not unreasonable.
People will vomit after drinking too much. This is a normal physiological reaction.
Fortunately, I was prepared.
"Your Majesty, rinse your mouth."
Zhao Si brought hot water and stroked the Emperor's back gently. The Emperor didn't say anything. He simply rinsed his mouth and spit it out. He drank some warm water and lay down again.
The First Emperor spent the entire first half of the night snoring and vomiting.
Zhao Si was also tortured a lot and would wake up every once in a while.
In the second half of the night, the First Emperor's snoring gradually calmed down and there was no longer any sign of vomiting. Zhao Si continued to lean on the bedrail and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, there was no movement from the First Emperor. Zhao Si soon sat on the ground and looked at the bed rails and fell asleep.
Until the next day…
The sun rose unusually, and Zhao Si's head had been tilted to the head of the First Emperor's bed, snoring like thunder.
The First Emperor was the first to be woken up. He subconsciously groped with his fingers and found a human head on the edge of his bed.
The First Emperor's originally groggy head suddenly woke up, and his slightly narrowed eyes opened reflexively.
Taking a closer look, it was Zhao Si who was slumped on the ground and sleeping soundly on his bedside.
The First Emperor rubbed his eyebrows. After the hangover, his head still had a headache.
Then looking at Zhao Si who was sleeping soundly, the First Emperor shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
This was the rare time he got drunk in these years.
He hated the feeling of being drunk, it was a state of being completely out of control.
"Just carry him away..."
The First Emperor waved his hand and called the maid in.
How can my humerus minister lie down and sleep on the ground?
