Chapter 144 Drunkenness
Perhaps because he was too happy, Wang An made an exception and drank a few more glasses.The wine that he drank at night was given by Qin Lie in order to please his future brother-in-law. It was fine wine from the Western Regions.As a result, the eldest uncle, Zhao Lu, hadn't drunk it yet, so he drank the future father-in-law, King An, first.The wine drank softly, but had a strong aftertaste. Wang An's face was flushed, his eyes were blurred and his mind was blurred after a while, and he slumped in the chair unsteadily, which made Xiao Dong firmly read a joke.

No wonder my father always refuses to drink too much. It turns out that he can drink so little.

Although Xiaodong doesn't like the spicy wine, but in terms of alcohol capacity, she might be stronger than An Wang.

Xiaodong waited for King An to lie down, and at the same time ordered someone to bring some wine and soup.There was fine sweat on King An's forehead, Xiaodong wiped it off with a handkerchief, and Zhao Lu came.

He didn't change his clothes, it looked like he had just come back.

"What happened to father?"

"Drink one more glass, and that's it."

Zhao Lu was also a little surprised: "Father doesn't drink alcohol. Is it because he doesn't drink too much?"

Xiaodong held back a laugh and whispered, "Maybe so."

"Are you ok?"

"It shouldn't matter. Someone has already prepared hangover soup. Why did my brother come back so late today?"

"I went out of town with a few colleagues."

"Has brother eaten?"

"Not yet, I'm thirsty and hungry."

"Then brother, go wash your face and change your clothes first, and I'll let someone prepare the meal."

"Why did father drink too much today?"

"Cousin Shen got the emperor's blue eyes today. It seems that he mentioned a salt method, right? He was also given a goldfish bag and ordered him to work in the household department. Father was also happy, so he drank an extra cup."

"Really? He doesn't stay at the Hanlin Academy anymore?"

Xiaodong thought for a while: "I think my cousin wants to go to the household department too, right? I think he is also very happy."

"What about others?"

"Didn't you meet me when you came in?"

"No, maybe he left?"

Xiaodong shook his head: "No way, why didn't he say he was going to leave? Besides, he drank a lot... What did the people at the door say?"

After a while, the food came, and the report said: "Young Master Shen must go, we didn't stop him, and sent a car to deliver it."

"Oh."

Zhao Lu sat down, first picked up the soup and drank half of the bowl in one go, and then picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, he seemed really hungry.

"We went to Chengling, which is the closest military camp to the capital."

"What are you doing there?"

"I might be going to Chengling."

"Ah?" Xiaodong was slightly surprised: "Is it settled?"

"It's more or less the same. That General Li is quite appreciative of me. I'm always bored in the city, and mold will grow in the bones."

"Then brother wants to live in Chengling?"

"That's natural. But sister, don't worry, Chengling is close to the capital, unlike in Ye'an. It's very convenient to come and go."

Xiaodong nodded: "Well, that's good."

Be it Zhao Lu or Shen Jing, they are both restless people.Whenever there is an opportunity to do practical things, I will firmly grasp it.Shen Jing is going to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Zhao Lu is also going to Chengling.

"By the way, let someone make two more of the quiver that my sister sewed for me before."

"Ok?"

"Today I was shooting arrows in Chengling. They saw that my quiver was good, strong and convenient. I should come down and give each of them one."

"Okay, I'll order someone to make it when I get back, and it will take two days."

Xiaodong listened attentively to the movement in the room, when a side of hangover soup came, she took it and said, "I'll do it."

Although Wang An was drunk, he was also a good wine, and he was not noisy. He helped him up and fed him hangover soup, and he swallowed it all in one gulp.

Xiaodong asked softly, "Does father have a headache?"

Wang An groaned and squinted his eyes, as if he couldn't recognize who the person in front of him was.

"Father?"

"Qingyuan?" There was a dazed smile on the father's face: "Our daughter is getting married, do you know? The one we are marrying is the boy we delivered back then... Things in the world are so mysterious, how could I have thought of that? The child will be our son-in-law in the future... She is very similar to you, no matter how long it takes, she won't learn to intrigue..."

Xiaodong felt terrified and sad again, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

"If you wait for me for a few more years, I will look for you. By the way, the person who harmed you back then... I have avenged you... Whether it is the queen mother or the queen..."

Xiaodong couldn't help it, and asked softly, "The Queen Mother?"

"That's right... Brother Huang asked Gao Ying to drug her daily milk soup. She drank it for several years, and finally she went crazy..."

The room was very hot, but Xiaodong shivered.

Mrs. Hu said that the Empress Dowager Shengde had someone drug Yao Qingyuan, which indirectly caused her death.So the emperor and King An used their own methods to treat their own bodies?

That milk soup... Ah, Xiaodong remembered.

When she entered the palace for the first time, Empress Dowager Shengde gave Xiaodong some milk to show her favor.It was supposed to be an extremely chronic medicine, so it was fine for Xiaodong to drink it once in a while, but he drank it every day for many years, and finally made the Empress Dowager Shengde crazy.

Xiaodong came back to his senses, Wang An leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep again.

Xiaodong squeezed her handkerchief, sat on the bed with her hair in a daze for a while.

Zhao Lu asked, "Sister?"

Xiaodong wiped the sweat off his brow: "Here we come."

"How is father?"

"Sleeping again."

Zhao Lu took a closer look at her: "Are you tired? You don't look very well."

"may be."

"Sister, go back and rest. Don't force yourself to embroider the dowry. If you are too tired, ask someone to embroider it for you."

Xiaodong nodded: "Understood. Brother, go back and rest too."

"I'll wait a little longer."

Xiaodong glanced at him.

I don't know about the medicine, does Zhao Lu know?
Although Wang An is very good at teaching Zhao Lu, he does not hide many things from him and guides him carefully.But this kind of thing, probably won't tell him.

This is different from teaching him what to do in court or what to do in the army.

Xiaodong went out of the house, and when the wind blew, he realized that his back was a little cold.

By the way, what Wang An said just now is "Whether it's the queen mother or the queen..."

Queen also...

However, the queen is living well now, what did King An do to her?

Xiaodong touched his forehead, the lantern was swaying in the wind, and its shadow was cast on the ground, flickering.

Xiaodong walked faster than usual, entered the Yufang Pavilion, and breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the house.

Hongfu asked softly: "The water is ready, should the princess take a bath now or wait a little longer?"

"Wait a little longer... I'll take a break."

Hongjing handed over the tea, Xiaodong took it, and drank it down in one gulp.

Could it be that Gao Ying mentioned by King An was the high-ranking female official who was once favored by the Empress Dowager Shengde?Later, the Empress Dowager Shengde lost power, but she did not follow her down, but instead entered the Zichen Palace.

She knew too many secrets, was not silenced, and was entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, it was not easy.

Xiaodong didn't pay much attention to her before, but thinking about it now——

Are there really innocent people in the palace?Maybe there is, but such a person must not live long, right?
Xiaodong also used to sympathize with the seventh princess, but later found that the child was hiding his clumsiness, perfectly hiding the secret that he was not a daughter.

Is it because of this that Wang An hopes that she will not marry into a wealthy family and live an ordinary and stable life?

Xiaodong let out a long breath, always feeling as if something was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

The bathroom was filled with steam, Xiaodong lay on the rim of the bucket, her hair tied up and coiled on top of her head.

Unavoidably, some flower petals were sprinkled on the bathtub, and Xiaodong flicked the water drops with his fingers.I used to be surprised when I watched TV. Why did the ancients have to float petals on the bath water? First, the petals are natural fragrances. Second, people at this time think that pollen and nectar have the effect of killing bacteria and decontamination, and they are all good for the skin. .I have to say that there is some truth to this, so the flower petals are sprinkled for practicality, not just for romantic things.

Hongfu opened the box containing the bath noodles, poured some on her hand, smelled it, and said with a smile: "I have never seen skin that is more delicate than the Princess, no wonder people often say that beauty is 'Blow the bomb'."

Xiaodong smiled: "How many people have you met again? What am I..."

Yao Jinfeng is even more perfect, Xiaodong and her have taken a hot spring bath before, and that is what the poem says "the hot spring water is smooth and creamy", the whole person is as perfect as a jade carving.

What is the name of the man who married her called Li?That person is really a blessing, such a charming beauty, it's a pity that the prince has no chance.

Hongfu's hands-on skills were superb, Xiaodong lay there comfortably and hummed.As far as Hongfu is concerned, she will have to be taken with her when she gets married in the future.

"This way, um, a little bit above."

Hong Fu rolled her sleeves high, her face was flushed by the heat, she smiled and said, "This way?"

"Correct."

Life after marriage... Maybe it will be completely different from now.

"Princess, there is something..."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Hong Fu hesitated for a moment: "Hong Shao told me a few days ago that she really wanted to learn some skills from Master Wu..."

Ah, it turned out to be this.

But Wu Di doesn't like Hong Shao, and Hu Shi doesn't think highly of her.

"She entrusted you?"

"Well. Master Wu's craft is good. If you can learn from her, it will be worth it, and you will have the capital to settle down in the future."

"Sister Hongfu, don't you want to learn it yourself?"

Hong Fu smiled: "I have always wanted to follow the princess. When you marry in the future, I will naturally follow. Mother Hu told me, and let me take care of your personal affairs. The cage is still in charge of the red bramble. Go on, same as now."

Xiaodong sat up: "Then what do you think? You don't want to go home?"

Hongfu stopped her hands and thought for a while: "I used to be homesick a lot, but now I don't think much about it. I have learned a lot from what I have experienced, seen and learned in the past few years in the mansion. Chewing, and earning money to subsidize the family. Although my brother and sister-in-law are good, they always take care of themselves first, and then they may not be able to take my turn. Besides," she smiled: "I am also reluctant to part with the Princess and Mama Hu. "

Xiaodong's heart warmed up: "I don't want to part with you either."
