The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

After three cups of wine, Ge Dongqing was no longer a human being. He became a living immortal. He shook the glass cup in his hand and said, "Drink a thousand cups of glass, and my mind will travel to the sky.

I heard that the Moon Palace is cold, and the beautiful girl and the Jade Rabbit are its companions.

After years of being alone, who will warm your bedside?

I met you in my dream last night, and the fairy looked so charming and lovely.

I will send you the fine wine from thousands of miles away, and dare to continue our old friendship.

Her face is covered by a light white veil, and she is still as shy as before.

Her waist is as soft as a willow, and her face is as beautiful as autumn water.

What do you wish for in this life? To have one person is priceless."

After saying this, Ge Dongqing burped twice.

Then a group of flattering ministers cheered one after another, and for a moment the applause drowned out the sound of drums and music. Even Wan Lianxing nodded slightly, as if thinking about something, to express his admiration for Ge Dongqing's literary talent.

But Suiying burst out laughing after hearing this. He leaned close to Wan Lianxing's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's not even night yet, and your sworn brother is already planning to go to bed with Chang'e."

Wan Lianxing said with a half-smile, "Is he going to meet Chang'e?"

"Hehehe, he's having lustful thoughts again, using the name of Chang'e to lust after the charming Fuliu."

"He and Fu Liu haven't broken up yet?"

"Of course not, how could they possibly break off?"

"Eh? It's been so long now. He expressed his determination to me, saying he would never set foot in Jiao Man Lou again. Why hasn't the novelty worn off yet? Is Fu Liu so persistent?"

Wan Lianxing knew this man's nature was hard to change, but he'd cried so hard the last time and vowed to him that he was done with Fu Liu and would never set foot in a brothel again. He counted on his fingers, thinking it wouldn't be long now. Even if he was still a playboy, he'd probably have to tone it down, right? Couldn't he control himself? This was something the pure-hearted Wan Lianxing couldn't fathom.

"Fu Liu's stamina is quite strong. Let me tell you, the streets have been bustling these past two days, all thanks to your good brother..."

Before the excited Suiying could finish his words, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the head of the weaving workshop wishes to see you regarding an important matter."

Before Wan Lianxing could react, the glass cup that was swaying in Ge Dongqing's hand fell onto the table with a loud thud, which woke Ge Dongqing up completely.

Ge Dongqing, who had been so carefree and elegant just now, suddenly turned pale and nervous, and looked at Wan Lianxing in panic as if asking for help.

Wan Lianxing didn't know that Lu Si Niang would come to the palace to ask for a meeting today. This person never came to the palace without a plan. In the past few years, Wan Lianxing had seen her only a few times. Her request for a meeting surprised Wan Lianxing a little.

At this time, Wan Lianxing and Ge Dongqing looked at each other in bewilderment. Some ministers, who were still immersed in singing and dancing, had not yet realized who the head of the weaving workshop was, and they began to complain, "What can a small head of the workshop do?"

A minister cautiously reminded: "I think Lord Ge might know."

"How could Lord Ge know..." The minister covered his mouth halfway through his words. He remembered that Ge Dongqing's wife Lu Siniang was the head of the weaving workshop. This man was not covering his mouth because he said something wrong, he was covering his mouth because he was laughing. If he didn't cover his mouth tightly, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.

He was not the only one who was laughing at this time. Several ministers were laughing, and even the selfless national teacher could not help but lower his head and laugh. In this room, only Wan Lianxing and the water department doctor Hong Zhekai were confused and could not understand what was going on.

Lu Siniang was the wife of his sworn brother. Wan Lianxing thought about it and decided to meet this person. Lu Siniang was different from others. She did not curry favor with the rich and powerful, nor did she flatter or curry favor with others. Therefore, Wan Lianxing always looked up to her. Someone like her must have something important to ask for an audience. Wan Lianxing no longer hesitated and said to the person who came to report, "Let her in."

At this moment, Ge Dongqing didn't know where he got the courage from. He stood up and walked out. As he walked, he said, "I'll go ask her what's going on. If it's not a big deal, I'll let her go back."

Those who don’t know might really think that Ge Dongqing is the head of the family. Can she send this person away?

Wan Lianxing pointed at his nose with his fan and said, "She came to see me, not you."

Ge Dongqing, who looked drunk just now, was now walking faster than anyone else. Wan Lianxing couldn't call him back, so he had no choice but to ask Suiying, who had been watching the fun with a silly smile, to go out and take a look.

As expected, Lu Siniang was waiting outside. As soon as Ge Dongqing went out, he saw Lu Siniang with a solemn and cold expression. He walked forward quickly with small steps, then clasped his hands together and bowed politely to Lu Siniang, "Madam."

Normally, even if Lu Siniang disliked Ge Dongqing, she would still return the favor, but today, what she returned was not a favor but a whip.

Lu Siniang, whose face was as cold as a pool of clear water, didn't say a word. She raised her hand and whipped Ge Dongqing with a crisp sound. The whip hit Ge Dongqing's arm right on the arm.

Ge Dongqing, who was totally unprepared, felt like he was bitten by a dog. With a cry of "Ah", the katydid with the best vocal talent that Wan Lianxing kept on the eaves was frightened into silence.

"Madam, please say it nicely. Why are you whipping me?" The two of them had treated each other politely for several years. He never thought that Lu Siniang would whip him again one day.

"Hmph!" Lu Siniang tightened the whip in her hand. She had long been disgusted with Ge Dongqing's elegant appearance, and she sneered at him. She raised her chin high, narrowed her eyes, and looked like she was going to accuse him. "You still have the nerve to ask me why I whipped you? Don't you know what you've done?"

The vicious voice sounded like naked intimidation to Ge Dongqing. He shuddered and took a small step back, then clasped his fists and bowed to Lu Siniang. "Dongqing doesn't know, please tell me clearly, Madam."

"You know the truth, but you're pretending to be ignorant. Fine, I'll let you pretend." Lu Siniang clenched her whip tightly, cracking it with every word she spoke. The rage she'd suppressed for a day and a night was ready to burst forth. "'Life is but a hundred years long, and I always fear separation from you.' Are you familiar with this saying?"

Ge Dongqing was beaten like a cat, and he was thrashing around, his mind not working so well. "I have some impression, some impression."

"'Since we've parted, I've been longing for you, and I'm crying.' Are you familiar with this line?"

"I have some impression of it, ahhhh... stop hitting me, ma'am..."

"It's good that you have an impression. I, Lu Si Niang, will help you recall it today." As soon as she finished speaking, the whip in Lu Si Niang's hand fell on Ge Dongqing again. This time, the blows were much stronger than the previous ones, and blood was drawn on the spot. "'The night wind turned to rain, and you were hard to find on the bed. I am alone on the pillow in the desolate night, and the long night cannot be shaken off. Thinking carefully about peace and happiness, I am with you every night. When Ge Lang divorced his wife, I married you.' Master, do you remember it?"
