Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

Chapter 308: Still playing! I’m here to take you away

Everyone was intrigued by the "Three Gardens Tour" and gathered around. Zhang Jingwei cleared his throat and began explaining the rules: "Let's follow the scope I've given you and talk about the things in the gardens. Each person will say one thing. If you get stuck, say something wrong, or repeat yourself, you'll be fined a drink. So, let's start the game. What can we do in the flower tower?"

He tapped the bowl with a chopstick to keep rhythm, and pointed with the other chopstick at the person who was to answer the question.

Gao Ying: "Drink!"

Qian Ming: "Listen to the music!"

Li Can "Seeking pleasure!"

Ma Tianmao: "Have fun!"

At the start of the game, everyone could say a few words, and they quickly mastered the rhythm of their responses. But every time it was Mu Tou's turn, he would be speechless and forced to drink. After a few rounds, everyone was a little tipsy.

It was Gao Jiong's turn to ask a question: "What's inside Zhang's house?"

Qian Ming: "Yard!"

Li Can "Hot pot!"

Zhang Jingwei: "Secret decree!"

Hearing the word "secret decree", Ma Tianmao was shocked and exclaimed: "What? Your family really has a secret decree?"

Gao Jiong knocked on the bowl and pointed at Ma Tianmao and said with a smile: "Brother Tianmao, you got the answer wrong!"

Ma Tianmao looked at Zhang Jingwei helplessly and said complainingly: "No...it turns out you were the one setting me up!"

……

As the night deepens, the moon hangs high in the sky.

Zhang Jingwei was already in a trance, the rhythm of knocking the bowl was also chaotic. He looked at the moon in the sky vaguely and asked: "What's on the moon?"

Several people had already fallen asleep at the table, and none of them were sober, so the question he asked was left to a few people. Gao Jiong seemed to be able to hear clearly now, and replied vaguely, "Yes... there is an immortal!"

Someone beside Gao Jiong shouted, "Gao Jieyuan!"

Zhang Jingwei, with a face full of joking, mocked the other party: "How can there be a high-ranking scholar on the moon? Hiss... No... Shit, this wine is a bit too much. How come there is another person while we are drinking?"

Gao Jiong waved his hands, swayed his body, and counted from his left to his right: "Brother Jingwei is just joking. There are only these... one, two, three... princes... around Zhaoxuan!" When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was scared away by the drunkenness and saluted hurriedly.

This game is over.

The prince smiled and said, "We grew up together, but I've never seen Zhao Xuan like this before. If that iron girl saw this, she would probably be beaming with joy."

At this moment, Zhang Jingwei responded with an unhappy look on his face: "Um... Your Highness the Crown Prince, when did you come here? Why don't I remember inviting you here?" He muttered to himself, this Crown Prince's sudden visit, could it be that he is here to disrupt things again.

Zhang Liu, standing by, quickly reminded his young master, "Young Master, the prince has already arrived! Just now, while you were standing on the table pondering over your poem, the prince had already arrived. Afterwards, I took the prince on a long tour of our Zhang Mansion!"

Zhang Jingwei felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. He had been so engrossed in the fun that he hadn't even noticed the prince's arrival. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Never mind. Since you've come, prince, if you want to enjoy the delicious food and drink the fine wine, please do so. Just don't disturb me and my friends."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince hurriedly bowed and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Master Zhang, for your hospitality. However, it is already late today, and I have come here to take my younger sister back home."

After saying that, he shook Sima Yanran, who was leaning on the table, and called softly, "Sister Wang, Sister Wang... Yanran..."

Seeing this, Zhang Jingwei also shouted, "Um... Third sister-in-law, your brother Wang is here to arrest you!"

"Brother Prince... Ling'er... It's the wedding, you want to steal the bride..." Sima Yanran was already drunk and unconscious. She said a few confusing words and went back to sleep.

The prince picked up his sister and said angrily, "Master Zhang, you are already a married man. It is really not proper to invite guests to your home during curfew, with men and women feasting together!"

Zhang Jingwei simply rolled his eyes and imitated him in a sarcastic tone: "It's really not proper for men and women to have a feast together~"

Mu Tou, who was drunk at the table, watched them leave with a dazed look in his eyes.

Zhang Jingwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"

Mu Tou seemed a bit honest. After hearing Zhang Jingwei's question, he nodded without hesitation and said, "It looks good."

Zhang Jingwei continued to ask, "Which is prettier, Jiu'er or the princess?"

Mu Tou was stunned by this sudden question. After a little hesitation, he scratched his head and stammered, "Jun...Jiuer doesn't let me look!" After saying that, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly retracted his original gaze and became a little restrained.

Seeing Mu Tou's expression, Zhang Jingwei couldn't help but burst into laughter. He pointed at Mu Tou and said, "Fool! What a fool!"

At this time, a group of people rushed into Zhang's mansion, including armored soldiers and officials. The three leaders were the censor, Lu Hui, and Liu Yanzhi.

Zhang Jingwei realized that he seemed to be in trouble, so he slapped himself twice in an attempt to wake himself up, but he still stumbled and fell in front of the three men.

Zhang Jingwei looked embarrassed and hurriedly performed a not very standard salute, stammering, "Lord Ou... Yang, Lord Lu, Teacher!" Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead, and one could almost hear the slight sound of the sweat dripping onto the ground.

Lu Hui frowned, his face terribly gloomy. He snorted coldly and said, "Is this what you call a bachelor party? It's ridiculous!" His words were full of blame and dissatisfaction.

Zhang Jingwei lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake, and whispered, "I...I admit my mistake."

At this time, the censor was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes were wide open. After glaring at Zhang Jingwei fiercely, he turned around and shouted at the censor guards behind him: "What are you still standing there for? Take your leader back to me!" Before he finished speaking, several strong censor guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and took the drunk Li Can away without saying a word.

Looking over to the other side, Lu Juanjuan was completely drunk, slumped to the ground, unconscious. The maid beside her had to struggle to lift her up and carry her to the carriage.

Liu Yanzhi's face was as gloomy as water, and he glanced around coldly. When he found Liu Yuan, his eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

Liu Yuan stumbled and walked slowly and unsteadily to Liu Yanzhi, calling out timidly, "Dad."

Liu Yanzhi looked at his daughter in such a miserable state, and his anger suddenly rose in his heart. He raised his hand and pretended to slap her, but just as his palm was about to fall, he suddenly remembered that there were outsiders around, and stopped the action abruptly. In the end, he just sighed helplessly, gritted his teeth and said, "Come home with me!" After that, he grabbed Liu Yuan's arm and dragged her out forcefully.

Zhang Jingwei shouted anxiously, "Teacher... Teacher, don't blame Yuan'er! Don't beat or scold her!" He knew very well what kind of person his teacher was. If Liu Yuan went home like this, she would surely be subjected to a brutal beating.

Liu Yanzhi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Liu Yuan and shouted angrily, "You are a girl, and you are fooling around outside until this time! Do you know how worried your mother is? She was so worried that she cried and even ran to the government office to find me!"

However, facing her father's scolding, Liu Yuan was stunned and said nothing. Her once pretty face was now filled with guilt and fear. Tears flowed from her eyes like a flood, rolling down her cheeks.

Zhang Jingwei was extremely anxious upon seeing this, and he pleaded again, "Teacher, please! Yuan'er really can't be blamed for this. If you want to vent your anger, just hit me. Yes, use a ruler!"

Liu Yanzhi looked at Zhang Jingwei with a look of disappointment, sighed, and said, "You... Sigh! I really don't know how to say this to you! All you do all day is idle around and have no skills!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jingwei hurriedly admitted his mistake: "This is all my fault. I know I was wrong. He was just playing around. I promise I will never do it again. I really won't dare to do it again." As he spoke, he fell to his knees with a plop, hugged Liu Yanzhi's thighs tightly, and shook them non-stop, looking like a child begging for mercy from an adult.
