But the three people's smiling faces did not immediately disappear. Instead, they laughed stiffly and said, "My face is a little cramped."

How long have you been laughing for?

All the guests went in, and Man Bao went to entertain the guests. It was necessary to toast a glass of wine to each table, and there was a possibility of being drunk by others, so Man Bao whispered to Zhou Lizhong who was holding the plate: "Mix some boiled water, eh

, half a pot of wine and half a pot of boiled water, it is best to add some honey or boiled brown sugar water."

Zhou Lizhong: "...Sister-in-law, just add water. Why do you need to add honey and brown sugar water?"

"You are stupid. If you add half a pot of water, how will the color of the wine become lighter? Add some honey or brown sugar water to make it look more real, and it is always a little sweet, so it won't be too unpleasant to drink."

Bai Shan gave instructions in a low voice: "Don't go to the big kitchen, go to Sister Zhou. Look, for the three of us, prepare two more pots, otherwise it won't be enough."

Zhou Lizhong: "Uncle, why don't we brothers drink for you?"

Lixue and Ligu can now drink.

Man Bao shook his head and refused, "Forget it, you are drinking at such a young age, be careful not to harm your liver in the future. Let's do it ourselves, um, add more brown sugar, divide one pot of wine into three pots, and add water and sugar water to the others.

Zhou Lizhong: ...Well, in just a moment, half a bottle of wine turned into one-third of a bottle of wine.

Zhou Lizhong looked at the many guests, turned around and went down with the plates. Man Bao and the other three first talked to the steady and steady Mr. Wei and others.

Sure enough, Mr. Wei and the others did not persuade them to drink, but asked them to eat more vegetables. After eating a chopstick of vegetables, they started to encourage them.

Anyway, the Emperor's kindness is so great, you all have to study hard and work hard to repay His Majesty.

Wei Zhi, who was born in a poor family, was particularly touched by this. He took Man Bao's hand without hesitation and said, "With status like you and me, we are able to achieve what we are today. Of course, we are talented, but we also need to be able to know horses. Otherwise,

, no matter how much talent we have, it will be of no use."

The elders on the side looked at Wei Zhi in surprise and saw that his face was red. Then they realized that he had drank several glasses of wine at some point and was just drunk?

It's not that I'm drunk, but I have a lot of feelings. His family background is similar to that of Zhou Man. Well, there are actually some differences.

Wei Zhi belongs to the Han clan, and Zhou Man belongs to the common people who are not even comparable to the Han clan. Before her, no one in the Zhou family could read or write.

Seeing the Zhou family full of guests, and having been to the Zhou family several times for drinks, Wei Zhi, who had personally experienced several changes, touched the most secret things deep in his heart.

He took Man Bao's hand and said with red eyes: "I have been favored by the king, so I often worry that I am not worthy of this kindness. Therefore, I must always be vigilant and do what I should do as a minister and a thousand-mile horse.

Sir, you will do the same in the future."

"His Majesty is determined to be a wise king, so everything we do is to fulfill His Majesty's ambition and help him become a wise king through the ages. For this, we will not hesitate to lose our lives."

Man Bao opened his mouth wide.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were also stunned when they heard this, so you often advise His Majesty to repay His Majesty's kindness by making the Emperor so angry?

Well, when you think about it, it's true that they are all trying to prevent the emperor from making mistakes in order to make him a wise king.

For a moment, not only Manbao and the other three, but also the elders sitting at the table looked at Mr. Wei in surprise.

Seeing that Mr. Wei was so jealous that he was about to cry, Man Bao immediately stretched out his hand to support him and said: "Mr. Wei, you are drunk. Why don't you go to the guest room and take a nap first? You have to go to the Yamen in the afternoon."

Man Bao looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang.

The two of them came to their senses, immediately stepped forward to support the person, and helped Mr. Wei to rest.

Mr. Old Tang turned to look at Mr. Zhao Guogong, "Why are you pouring Mr. Wei wine when you have nothing to do?"

Zhao Guogong: ...No one noticed, how could he see it?

Zhao Guogong coughed slightly and looked into the distance with a somewhat erratic gaze.

In the distance, the emperor was galloping on his horse in the Western Inner Garden.

Yin Li rode his horse and ran behind with the guards. He reminded the emperor in front, "Your Majesty, there is a rabbit in front of you on the left."

The emperor saw this, so he took a bow and shot an arrow. The arrow grazed the rabbit's neck and was stuck in the ground. The rabbit jumped up in surprise, twisted its buttocks and jumped away quickly.

The emperor was very happy and laughed loudly and said: "My archery skills have not deteriorated."

Yin Li nodded with admiration.

The emperor regretted, "It's a pity that I am filial piety, otherwise I could have let go today."

But the emperor was very happy to be able to come to the horse race today. While Wei Zhi was not in the palace, and other imperial ministers were not here either, the emperor was very excited and ran around the West Neiyuan. All the prey he saw were rubbed against their necks and stabbed in their necks.

On the ground, he occasionally miscalculated and accidentally injured animals, large and small, and he quickly had people catch them and apply medicine.

The emperor decided to go back in the evening and offer incense to the Bodhisattva and the Queen Mother to apologize.

The emperor ran in the West Inner Garden for an hour, and his muscles and bones were relaxed. He happily whispered to Yin Li, "I don't know if Zhao Guogong got anyone drunk."

Yin Li: "...it shouldn't be easy."

You can wake up even if you are drunk. With Mr. Wei's self-control, I'm afraid he won't be late, so...

"Your Majesty, it's almost time, let's go back."

The emperor regretfully handed the bow to the guard behind him, nodded and warned: "Tell your subordinates that today's events are not allowed to be spread to outsiders."

"yes."

The emperor returned to the palace happily, and became serious as soon as he returned to Tai Chi Hall.

Mr. Wei, who was at Zhou Man's house, had also woken up early. Not only was he sober, but his alcohol was almost gone. Zhou Man's hangover soup was good. Although it was a bit unpleasant to drink, the effect was pretty good.

Wei Zhi was very sober and asked his attendant, "Is the front parting?"

Chang Sui Qianyi said, "Except for some adults who don't have to do errands, everyone else has pretty much left."

Mr. Old Tang and all the censors from the Censorship Station are here. Even Wei Zhi is here. Who dares to miss work?

Therefore, except for some officials who had taken leave and who were not on duty, only some relatives and friends of the Bai family and Zhou family were still there, and everyone else had gone back.

They also need to go back and sober up so that they can return to the Yamen to work.

Wei Zhi nodded with satisfaction, but did not leave there. Instead, after getting dressed, he went to the banquet place and walked around to make sure that no fish had slipped through the net. Then he moved to the front under the greetings of Bai Shan and the others.

Mr. Old Tang was sitting in front with a group of censors.

Wei Zhi was surprised and asked: "Why is Mr. Old Tang still here? Why don't you go to the Yamen?"

Seeing him, Mr. Old Tang stood up with some regret and said: "I started working long ago, okay, it's time to go back to the Yamen."

He turned around and said to his men: "Okay, you go to each yamen door and see who didn't go back to work on time. Also, take note of those who are drunk."

The censors agreed in unison, but then scattered away, as if they were not the ones pushing glasses for drinks at the dinner table just now.

The censor, indeed, turned his back and was ruthless.
