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

A small pot of wine, a plate of egg fried rice, and two people looking into each other's eyes.

The scene was very romantic, the only thing that spoiled it was Zhang Jingwei's expression of eating shit.

In addition to the bowl of salty egg fried rice, there was also a pot of wine that had been stored for who knows how many years. The wine had turned green and even a dog would shake its head when it saw it.

"Why don't you drink?" Huangfu Ling blinked and pushed the wine glass towards Zhang Jingwei.

"This...this wine has been stored for so long, it won't go bad, will it?" Zhang Jingwei said with a wry smile.

Huangfu Ling explained, "That's impossible! This is the finest fruit wine I bought from the East Market Winery. My father can't bear to drink it!"

Zhang Jingwei panicked, "But...but this is green..."

This green is turbid, unlike the clear green "fat wine" we usually drink.

"You must be used to drinking fine wines, so you look down on these bars."

As he spoke, Huangfu Ling's eyes were full of disappointment.

Zhang Jingwei couldn't bear to see the little girl show this expression, so he picked up the wine glass, took a deep breath, and drank it all in one gulp.

Sure enough, it was sour, astringent, and slightly bitter, like expired fruit vinegar with a hint of low-alcohol rice wine. (Drinking alcohol is harmful to your health, so don't try it.)

Even though it tastes bad, I have to pretend nothing happened.

"It's not hard to drink, right?" Huangfu Ling asked hurriedly.

"Hmm~ It tastes good." Zhang Jingwei said against his will.

Huangfu Ling then asked, "How does it compare to what you drank with that woman in the Water Defense Camp?" His eyes were full of anticipation after asking.

Zhang Jingwei's heart was shocked. Could this girl be taking revenge on purpose?

Zhang Jingwei grinned from ear to ear, and said in a fake smile: "Of course the one in front of me is better!"

Huangfu Ling was very satisfied with this answer. She smiled and poured another full cup, saying, "Then drink a few more cups. There's more at home. You can drink as much as you want tonight, my husband."

Zhang Jingwei evaded the question, "Let's not drink. I've been feeling a bit upset lately, and I went to see Sun Yaolang today. He told me I'm not feeling well and shouldn't drink."

Huangfu Ling's face changed, and he sneered, "What are you talking about? You can get Han Ye drunk, your alcohol tolerance is truly astonishing! Or do you think I'm no match for a peasant woman and unworthy of serving you wine?"

Zhang Jingwei looked innocent and explained, "It's just a temporary solution. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously!"

Huangfu Ling said coldly: "Then stop talking nonsense, drink and eat."

Zhang Jingwei had no choice but to compromise and timidly agreed: "I drink, I drink..."

Fortunately, this fruit wine was enough to relieve the choking. He ate a few mouthfuls of food and drank a sip of wine, and dealt with it like this, looking up at Huangfu Ling from time to time.

Huangfu Ling also raised his wine glass and drank it all.

"Don't do this again in the future, okay?" Huangfu Ling said with a gloomy face.

Zhang Jingwei defended himself: "It was just a show..."

Huangfu Ling drank another glass of wine and said slowly, "What I'm saying is... don't put yourself in danger again!"

“…” Zhang Jingwei was silent. He had been single for too long, and this sudden concern caught him off guard.

Huangfu Ling poured another glass of wine and drank it all. "We had a big fight before you took the poison and I endured it all, whether you called me a savage or delusional. I should hate someone like you who is so self-righteous!"

"Did I... say that?" Zhang Jingwei really didn't know what the original owner had said or done.

She poured and drank the wine in the same manner, taking a glass with each sentence. "You used to boast that you were an immortal and should ascend to the Cloud Immortal Realm, and you kept referring to 'mortals' all the time. Back then, the children in Yunzhou all admired you, including me, of course."

"Do you remember the time you tricked me into going to a brothel? Your uncle beat you for a long time. Dad told me to stay away from you during the day, but I secretly rescued you at night and treated your injuries. At that time, I was ready to take you away."

Zhang Jingwei complained in his heart: No... sister, you are in love!

With a full expression of apology, he lowered his head and dared not look directly at Huangfu Ling: "I'm sorry, I was young and ignorant at that time!"

The original owner was only fifteen years old at the time, and he might have done some ridiculous things because he relied on his wealth.

"You did a lot of other outrageous things after that... The night your uncle set himself on fire, the whole city was in turmoil. Dad ordered Captain Wang from the garrison to abduct you from the brothel and bring you to my house. Zhang Liu cried so hard he nearly fainted."

"The government sent people to arrest you many times, but they drove you away every time. Fortunately, you married into my family and became a member of the Huangfu clan, so they finally gave up!"

"When you arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, you were in a bad mood for several days. After finally calming down for a few days, you drank poisoned wine. The night you died of the poison, I was heartbroken. It was also that night that I learned to drink."

After saying that, she picked up the wine glass. This time she didn't drink it all in one gulp. She still stared at the wine in the glass, and her hands trembled unconsciously.

"I don't understand... I don't understand... why would you stinky men like to drink something so disgusting?"

drunk……

Huangfu Ling got herself drunk just like that...

"Okay! Stop drinking!" Zhang Jingwei snatched Huangfu Ling's cup and shouted.

"You still remember me. You have lost your memory, but you still remember me... Are you really losing your memory or are you pretending?!" Huangfu Ling asked him loudly like a wounded little animal.

"Of course it's true." Zhang Jingwei's voice was as calm as water, but it carried an irresistible power.

"You are lying. Daddy said that you are well-educated and smart, but he also said that you have a bad heart." Huangfu Ling's eyes were blurred with tears, and her voice trembled, full of despair and sadness.

"How could I lie to you?" Zhang Jingwei could only coax her along with her words.

"You lied... You lied to me that you would marry me..." Huangfu Ling's body trembled slightly, as if she would collapse at any time.

"Lingmei, you've drunk too much." There was a hint of helplessness and heartache in her tone.

"You are a liar, you are a liar... liar..." Huangfu Ling's tears had ruined her exquisite eye makeup, making her look disheveled.

After crying twice, he lay on the table and didn't move.

"Lingmei... Lingmei..." Zhang Jingwei shook her twice, but still failed to wake her up.

After a while, Huangfu Ling seemed to have fallen asleep, whispering softly in his sleep: "Don't go, take Ling'er to play with you..."

Zhang Jingwei shook his head and chuckled. He tried to pick up the little drunk cat, but he didn't have the ability to do so yet.

So he covered her with a robe.

Just as he covered himself with his coat, Huangfu Ling began to talk in his sleep again: "Don't leave, please - Brother Qi!"

Zhang Jingwei was stunned. Although he heard everything clearly, he still asked, "What? Who doesn't want to leave?"

"Brother Qi, don't go. Don't leave Ling'er behind."

Zhang Jingwei was in a trance and sat down on the ground.

His wife actually called out another man's name after drinking.

It sounds so nice and the voice is so soft.

How annoying!
