After the dinner, Su Yingxue drank some wine. She looked tipsy, her skin was as white as jade with a faint blush, like clouds in the sky.

Su Yingxue and Mo Yunsheng walked out of the restaurant and slowly back to the inn. The streets of Liangcheng were still bustling. Su Yingxue had drunk a lot of wine today to negotiate the grain collection. Thinking that the grain could be transported back to Hancheng and save the lives of many refugees, she felt very happy.

"You're drunk, Sister Axue." Mo Yunsheng looked at her staggering as she walked, sighed, and held her arm.

Her alcohol tolerance is still as bad as ever.

Mo Yunsheng grabbed her arm with one hand, fearing that she would fall while walking.

He didn't know why, he had called her Your Highness for more than two years, but in that moment just now, when he saw her with drunken eyes, he remembered her that year in Shuibo Pavilion, who was innocent and knowledgeable about the world, and as romantic as a flower.

"Sister Axue," he reached out again to hold her arm, and lifted the person who almost fell to the ground up in an instant.

But that person seemed to have no bones, and mistook him for Taxue. He threw himself into his arms, resting his head on his neck and shoulders, closing his eyes and whispering softly, "Taxue, I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."

Mo Yunsheng had no choice but to tighten his arms and hold her horizontally in his arms. He asked his servants to hire a carriage, and he stood by the roadside holding her.

"Your Highness, Sister Axue," Mo Yunsheng looked at the person in his arms helplessly and dotingly. He also understood that she was drunk and unconscious. If it were normal, she would not allow him to call her Sister Axue, nor would she allow him to hold her.

Mo Yunsheng held her in his arms and stood in the bustling street. The carriage was soon pulled over by servants, and he carried her into the carriage.

"Just take a stroll and don't go back yet."

Mo Yunsheng's eyes dimmed, and he gave orders to the servants in a hoarse voice while he held her in his arms and sat in the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, and he just held Su Yingxue in his arms. He knew that if he sent her back, she would not sleep so obediently and quietly in his arms.

She has Taxue to take care of her.

But he also longed for the sight of her resting so gently and peacefully on his shoulder. She rested her head on his shoulder, and he could smell the fragrance of the dark orchid on her body. Her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, as if she were using him as a pillow.

"My head hurts." Su Yingxue closed her eyes and murmured softly, "Taxue, we've negotiated it, and we have food."

"Taxue, give me two more dishes tomorrow."

Su Yingxue hugged Mo Yunsheng, smelled the pleasant and cool fragrance on his body, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Okay." Mo Yunsheng looked at Su Yingxue who was sleeping in his arms and answered helplessly and dotingly.

"Your Highness, why can he be your concubine, but I cannot be your inner circle assistant?"

Mo Yunsheng looked at Su Yingxue's beautiful face, but his heart was filled with sadness and pain. He gently stroked her hair with one hand, and asked the sleeping person with deep affection and distress.

Of course, Mo Yunsheng didn't get any response.

······

When Su Yingxue got up the next day, she had a headache, so Taxue brought her some hangover soup.

Su Yingxue drank it in one gulp, smelling of alcohol, and still wearing the same dress from yesterday.

After bathing and changing clothes, she became a pretty young scholar again. Today she had to go to the drugstore in the city to have a look. There would be a banquet in the evening, and this time it would be hosted by the drug dealers in the city.

Taxue had already taken yesterday's dress to be washed, dried, and fumigated. So, she had to go shopping before tonight. As Su Yingxue left the house, she saw Mo Yunsheng, dressed in white, standing not far ahead, waiting for her.

"Brother Mo, good morning."

Su Yingxue didn't expect to see him so early in the morning. She thought he had returned to Hancheng with the batch of food from yesterday.

Perhaps sensing her confusion, Mo Yunsheng softly explained, "I've already ordered someone to send the food back."

"Your Highness is drunk, so Yunsheng will stay here to protect your Highness from drinking tonight." Mo Yunsheng looked at Su Yingxue and answered gently and firmly, not giving Su Yingxue any chance to refute.

Su Yingxue wanted to say something, but she saw a red mark on Mo Yunsheng's neck.

"Brother Mo, you were bitten by a mosquito last night?" Su Yingxue pointed to the same spot on her neck and said softly, "It's a big red mark."

When Mo Yunsheng heard this, her fair skin was as white as jade, and a slight blush soon appeared on her cheeks.

"Yes," Mo Yunsheng glanced at the person in front of him thoughtfully. His eyes suddenly darkened, and he looked at the person in front of him with a mixture of complicated emotions. He said in a hoarse voice, every word was precious, "Your Highness is right. It is indeed a big mosquito."

"At this time of year, in a place as cold as Liangcheng, there are actually mosquitoes?" Su Yingxue felt that mosquitoes couldn't survive in such cold weather. The border towns of Hancheng and Liangcheng hadn't experienced the warmth of spring. These days, it was as cold as winter in Kyoto.

Su Yingxue couldn't imagine how cold the winter would be in those places.

The two of them visited all the drug stores carefully and discussed the list and details of medicines discussed at the dinner.

This time, with the experience of last night, Su Yingxue took a hangover medicine first before entering the banquet.

Mo Yunsheng blocked a lot of alcohol for her, but she also drank a few glasses. After everything settled down, although Su Yingxue's consciousness was clearer than last night, she was still drunk and not very sober, and was in a daze.

This time, Mo Yunsheng helped Su Yingxue out. He dismissed all his subordinates and asked them to take the contract and follow the rich man's men to collect medicinal materials. He then accompanied Su Yingxue back.

The night was as dark as ink, and the cool breeze blew on Su Yingxue's drunken face, making her feel cool. The night in Liangcheng was quiet and peaceful.

On the streets of Liangcheng, two lanterns are hung on the left and right sides of every shop. The streets are not dark, but not as prosperous as Dasheng Kyoto.

But it is also more prosperous than Hancheng.

I think of the refugees on the streets of Hancheng. There were no houses to live in, no rice porridge to cook, and the streets were desolate and devastated.

But the street scenes and prosperous night markets here seem like two different extremes.

Mo Yunsheng supported Su Yingxue and they walked on the street together.

"Your Highness, it's really still the same as before. You can't touch any alcohol." Mo Yunsheng looked at her who was slightly drunk in front of him and said softly.

"Thinking about it now, I have followed His Highness all the way from the court to Hancheng. In the past month or so, I have seen His Highness the most." Mo Yunsheng looked at Su Yingxue who was standing in the moonlight, staring at the road ahead, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.

"Brother Mo, look, that lantern is so beautiful."

Su Yingxue pointed to the colorful lanterns hanging on the second floor of the street and said softly, "That lantern can spin. It's so beautiful."

Mo Yunsheng looked in the direction she pointed. In front of the second floor of the tea shop, there was an octagonal palace lantern hanging. It had a rotating mechanism inside, resembling a revolving lantern. The vivid painting was truly beautiful.

"Your Highness, do you like this?" Mo Yunsheng looked at her with eyes full of doting.

"I like it." Su Yingxue looked slightly tipsy, like a peach blossom blooming in spring, so beautiful.

The beauty has a charming face and unique charm.
