After drinking the wine in the pot, he suddenly gained a huge amount of energy and finally made up his mind to push Ziheng away. He said to him firmly: "It's late at night, Ziheng, you go back first."

Ziheng took the wine jug from her hand and placed it on the table as if he hadn't heard anything. He held her arm with one hand and asked, "Do you know what kind of wine you just drank?"

"What kind of wine?" Wan Ning opened her eyes wide and looked at him in confusion.

"What you just drank was the unique plum blossom wine of Chu Country. This kind of wine tastes like plum blossom wine at first sip, and it seems that you won't get drunk no matter how much you drink. But as soon as the cold wind blows, it will make you feel dizzy like a blooming plum blossom. You just drank a whole pot in one breath. If I drive you away now, I'm afraid you will fall asleep on some road before you even reach Xiang Wanxuan."

Hearing this, Wan Ning immediately collapsed on the chair as if she had lost all her energy. She burst into tears and asked aggrievedly, "Why didn't you stop me and tell me?"

Hearing the question, Ziheng immediately squatted down, his eyes level with hers, looking at her flushed face lovingly, and patiently explained: "Plum blossom wine tastes refreshing, I just thought you liked it."

Wan Ning cried even louder, a bit like a child playing tricks: "I just saw that the guests tonight drank very little, I thought they didn't like it, so I wanted to try it myself. Woo - it turns out they all knew, but I didn't. Woo - what kind of peach blossom wine is this, it only makes me drunk."

After a few words, Wan Ning's face became more and more red and hot, and Ziheng immediately realized that she was already drunk. He covered Wan Ning's mouth, which was noisy like a train, and gently comforted her: "Yan Yan, don't cry, don't cry, next time I will definitely tell you in advance, okay?"

Wan Ning looked at Ziheng innocently, nodded with a silly smile, her body swaying a little due to being drunk, but she insisted on extending her little finger in front of him: "Then let's make a promise. You must never lie to me or bully me in the future."

Ziheng couldn't help but smile. He certainly wasn't lying to her this time, but he still stretched out his finger and made a pinky promise with her, saying, "Yanyan, I will never lie to you again."

"You keep your word. Now I feel relieved." After doing all this, Wan Ning stood up happily and was about to go out, but she fell back down as soon as she stood up. She complained angrily, "Why are all the roads curved today?"

Ziheng looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he bent down and carried her on his back. Wan Ning was intoxicated and unconscious, and she only felt that she was lying on the back of something. Even if she forced her eyes open, she couldn't figure out the situation. She thought she was being carried by a little white horse, and she smiled foolishly and shouted excitedly: "Little white horse, take me home. Go - let's go."

Wan Ning leaned her head on his shoulder, and did not forget to use one hand to play with Ziheng's ear, mumbling her drunken words: "Little White Horse, are you hot? Your face is so hot! Little White Horse, thank you for taking me home, I will tell you a secret."

He carried her safely on the path leading to Xiang Wanxuan. She fell into a restless sleep on the way and woke up slowly when they were almost at Xiang Wanxuan. There was a faint light in her eyes.

"Xiao Ma, put me down quickly. I want to go see the fireflies." Once she woke up, she became a little dishonest. She excitedly lay on Ziheng's shoulder and shouted with joy.

"Okay, okay, I'll put you down right now, go slowly." Although he knew there would be no fireflies in this season, he still squatted carefully to let Wan Ning land safely. But just as he turned around to hold her, he was hugged by Wan Ning's waist first, so tightly that he couldn't break free.

"Xiao Ma, thank you for sending me home. Xiao Ma, your waist is so thin. Next time, let people feed you more grass. Only if you grow up strong will a good person like you be valued by a good mentor. Come on, Xiao Ma!" After saying this, she patted Ziheng's back encouragingly.

Wan Ning turned around and was about to look for the faint light she had just seen. She almost fell before she had taken a few steps. Fortunately, she held onto the wall next to her and was able to stagger forward. At this time, the faint light was getting closer and closer to the two of them. It turned out that the person was Wan Tao. After seeing off the guests, they returned to Xiang Wanxuan and found that the princess had not returned yet, so they went their separate ways to look for her. She happened to meet her here.

Wan Tao hurried forward to hold the princess, and slightly turned sideways to bid farewell to the emperor, wanting to take the princess back to Xiang Wan Xuan. Zi Heng knew that he had no reason to keep her at this time, so he could only stand there and watch her go without saying a word. At this time, Wan Ning also recognized Wan Tao holding the lantern, and danced with joy, eager to share with her that she had just drunk a particularly delicious wine and saw fireflies.

"Oh, there's a kind pony who brought me back. Oh, where's my pony?" When she mentioned the pony, she began to look around anxiously. The moment she turned around, she saw Ziheng standing there. She struggled to break away from Wantao and stumbled towards Ziheng, laughing as she walked: "So my pony is here, Wantao, look, this is my pony."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The princess is drunk and unconscious. She will apologize to Your Majesty when she wakes up tomorrow." Wan Tao pleaded with the emperor nervously.

Wan Ning didn't listen at all. She walked to Ziheng and held his cheeks with both hands, smiling foolishly: "My pony is so beautiful, thank you!" She actually kissed him directly. The warm kiss on his cheek made Ziheng's eyes widen, and Wan Tao, who was a few steps away, was at a loss. She hurried forward and pulled Wan Ning away in a panic.

Ziheng had a faint red lipstick mark on his face, and he pretended to be calm and said, "You don't need to tell the princess about this after you sober up. It's late at night and the dew is heavy, so take the princess back quickly."

Everything was just right, when Wan Ning was still drunk. The next day, when she opened her eyes, Wan Tao was already waiting beside her. She was a little confused, but her head was aching because of the hangover. Wan Tao asked tentatively: "Princess, you are awake, do you remember how you got back yesterday?"

Wan Ning pretended to be calm: "Of course, I remember it clearly."

Wan Tao immediately stopped what she was doing and stared at her nervously, fearing that the princess would feel socially frustrated because she remembered something. Unexpectedly, the princess's answer was very strange: "I remember that a handsome horse with a thin waist and long legs got off the horse and carried me back, but I wonder why there is a pony in the palace? By the way, we seemed to have passed a plum blossom forest, and there was a faint plum blossom fragrance, which was very pleasant."

Hearing the princess say this, Wan Tao finally felt relieved. She was very glad that the princess had blacked out at the time and could not remember anything now.

At this time, Shuiyue came in with sobering tea and heard their conversation. She added, "Princess, it wasn't some pony who brought you back. You drank plum wine last night and you can't remember anything. It was Wantao who found you on the path. It was Sister Wantao who brought you back, not some pony!"

"Really? I really can't remember anything. Thank you, Wantao. Drinking makes things worse. I will never drink so much in the future!" Wan Ning picked up the sobering tea brought by Shuiyue and drank it all in one gulp. However, Wantao and Shuiyue looked at each other and smiled as if they didn't quite believe it.

Xiang Wanxuan was very busy preparing for the banquet some time ago. Now that the banquet was over, it was like a tense balloon that was deflated. Several people said they wanted to take a good rest for a while, and did not think about whether the Queen Mother was satisfied with the result. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's instructions were conveyed to Xiang Wanxuan at noon.

The Queen Mother is very satisfied with the overall effect, so the talent show after the new year will be organized by Princess Le Yan!

Wan Ning had already guessed this result. The so-called banquet was just a ulterior motive. If she was asked to organize the selection, it would be easier to be supervised by others, and she would not have to worry about abusing her power for personal gain and having a close personal relationship with the emperor. If it were not for the fact that the harem was still the domain of the empress dowager, the emperor would have only wanted to use force to force her to stay away from the emperor, but the result was counterproductive.

The Queen Mother's move of retreating to advance, actually allowing more people to supervise, is really a better idea. However, Wan Ning is really tired and doesn't want to worry about it, and she will leave here sooner or later.

If you fall in love with someone here, and then just leave when the day comes, would that be too cruel to the person who stays behind?
