Amid the chaos, Nan Yingzhi's voice was low but extremely clear.

Her call to Nan Yi across the crowd successfully turned the noise into silence in an instant.

Nan Yi was drinking and playing finger-guessing games with his men and felt dizzy when his name was suddenly called. He was frightened and shuddered.

His thoughts, which had flown to the horizon, were suddenly pulled back.

Nan Yi subconsciously raised his head and looked at Nan Yingzhi who was sitting on the upper seat: "Your Majesty?"

Nan Yi's expression of listening attentively made Nan Yingzhi vaguely see the helpless look of the dog at home after being called by her.

Nan Yingzhi is not interested in living people, and only has a special liking for cats and dogs.

"Drink less," Nan Yingzhi was thinking about buying a cat or dog as a companion. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and made two pinky promises to Nan Yi, like teasing a cat. "We have to recruit soldiers to go to war tomorrow, so take it easy."

His action was too strange and Nan Yi didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

However, what she said was simple and clear, and it was like an epiphany that woke Nan Yi up.

He suddenly realized that it was impossible for the commander to be drunk when the troops were about to be dispatched.

If he gets drunk tonight, it is another matter whether he can get up when the troops go out early tomorrow morning, but he will definitely feel uncomfortable with a hangover.

Thinking of this, Nan Yi quickly put down his glass and dared not drink any more.

He was almost drunk from the drinking and chatting, and he was still frightened.

Coming back to his senses, Nan Yi found it strange. Didn't Qingchuan always insist on not stopping until he was drunk?

Why are you so restrained today and even trying to persuade yourself?

All banquets in the world must eventually come to an end, and the lively farewell banquet soon came to an end.

Everyone, except Nan Yingzhi, was having a great time.

They staggered and reeked of alcohol, and with the help of their subordinates, they said goodbye to Yun Ting.

Yun Ting was obviously drunk as well. He closed his eyes, hummed, and even said "back off" unclearly.

As if he remembered something, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked Gao Shu to help him up, and his mouth shape sounded like "Zhuixia Palace".

Gao Shu understood and helped him to Zhuixia Palace.

Although Nan Yi did not drink again after Nan Yingzhi's reminder, he was still dizzy and not quite sober.

Although she knew that a drunk person would never admit that he was drunk, Nan Yingzhi still went over, patted Nan Yi on the cheek, and asked knowingly: "Brother Fanzhou, are you still sober?"

"I'm awake, but I feel dizzy," Nan Yi spoke fluently. He stretched out his hand to Nan Yingzhi, "Please help me."

Considering that Nan Yi was her "good brother", Nan Yingzhi did not ask Lingfeng for help. She did it herself and helped Nan Yi into the carriage of his general's mansion.

When she was about to leave, Nan Yi suddenly called out to her, "Qingchuan'er."

After all, "Qingchuan" is not Nan Yingzhi's real name. She was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted: "Why?"

Maybe it was because of the drinking, but Nan Yi’s eyes were burning: “There are things I want to talk to you about.”

Thinking that people like to talk about life after drinking, Nan Yi might have been aroused by the alcohol and felt lonely, so he wanted to reminisce with "Yun Ji".

Knowing clearly that he was not Nan Yi's good brother and could not reminisce about the past with Nan Yi at all, after a long silence, Nan Yingzhi compromised and sat down next to Nan Yi.

He accompanied him back home only to consolidate Yun Ji's image as a "good brother" in Nan Yi's heart, not because he felt sorry for Nan Yi and was moved by sympathy for him.

Seeing that they were seated, the coachman turned around and rode towards the general's mansion.

As both of them were drunk and the carriage compartment was small and stuffy, the smell of alcohol soon filled the air.

The carriage was originally equipped with incense, and the combination of the two was very unbearable for people who suffer from motion sickness.

Having ridden in a carriage several times, Nan Yingzhi knew that Yun Ji was prone to motion sickness and had a sensitive nose. Before his body protested, she quickly reached out to both sides of the carriage, trying to open the window.

"Qingchuan'er," she heard Nan Yi speak just as her hand touched the window, "I want to ask you something."

The smell stimulated her stomach and made it churn. Nan Yingzhi didn't have time to pay attention to Nan Yi for the time being. She exerted force with her hands and forced the window open.

The wind blew in, but it still couldn't eliminate the discomfort.

Nan Yingzhi stretched her face outside and took a deep breath of the fresh air as if she was short of oxygen on the plateau.

After she calmed down, she leaned against the window, rubbed her uneasy abdomen, and nodded to Nan Yi: "Well, go ahead."

"Qingchuan," Nan Yi leaned forward, pretending to want to have a long conversation, "Why didn't you drink today? You clearly said before that you should 'enjoy yourself'..."

"Having fun is a good thing, of course." Nan Yingzhi had difficulty speaking because of motion sickness, so she slowed down her speech and seemed to be chatting slowly, "but it also depends on the occasion."

Nan Yi instinctively asked: "For example?"

"For example, you have something important to do tomorrow," Nan Yi happened to be in front of her, so Nan Yingzhi used him as an example, "Shouldn't you have a good rest tonight and not drink too much?"

"I really shouldn't drink too much," Nan Yi said with a puzzled expression after self-examination, "but you don't have to send troops, so why don't you drink?"

"Oh, you mean this," Nan Yingzhi stared at Nan Yi intently, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and she gave an answer that didn't seem like an answer, "Because, tomorrow, you have to go to war."

"Ah?" Nan Yi was feeling dizzy from drinking too much, and he was even more confused. "As I recall, you didn't have to follow the army?"

"I'm indeed not joining the army," Nan Yingzhi lowered her voice as if whispering, "but tomorrow is the day I will be separated from my good friend."

Just like the saying "A man who is three-quarters drunk can act until you cry", Nan Yingzhi's words are sincere and true, expressing her love for Nan Yi: "After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again."

"I don't want to send you out drunk, because I might not even remember your last appearance," Nan Yingzhi said after she finished her sad words, cheering Nan Yi up. "Rather than having fun, I want to wait for you to come back and have fun with you again."

Nan Yi was completely mesmerized by her rhetoric. In a trance, Xiao Zhizi's words "I'll wait for you to come back" lingered in his ears again.

For a moment, Nan Yi almost forgot that he called Yun Ji just to ask Yun Ji's feelings on behalf of Xiao Zhizi.

Suddenly coming to his senses, Nan Yi patted his cheeks and held back the tears that were about to burst out.

"Ahem," Nan Yi felt embarrassed as it was his first time to be a matchmaker. He remained calm and started from the first encounter between his daughter and Yun Ji. "Qingchuan, I went to the palace to see my daughter today. She said she was very grateful to you for saving her from the water."

Although she was somewhat curious as to why the "father and daughter" were talking about this topic, Nan Yingzhi did not ask any more questions. She habitually said modestly, "It's just a piece of cake."

"As her father, I would also like to thank you on her behalf," Nan Yi said solemnly, "You know how important little Gardenia is to me."

Having learned from Yuan Nan Yingzhi that Nan Yi and Nan Yingzhi had a deep affection for each other, Nan Yingzhi nodded.

However, she was not good at sensationalism, and she did not think that these were serious matters at all. She acted as if she was not interested and avoided the topic: "So, what do you want to ask me?"
