The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

After finishing his meal, Wanyan Junhao was so drunk that his tongue was slurred, but he still kept his binoculars close at hand.

Ulintuya awkwardly reached for her silver notes, but Jingxue refused, saying, "No rush, we'll talk about it tomorrow when I have someone deliver the samples!"

Ye Muchen's face was also a little red at this moment. The two said goodbye and walked back.

As soon as he stepped outside into the cold wind, Ye Muchen felt the effects of the alcohol kick in, and he began to stagger.

There was nothing else Jingxue could do but hold his arm, afraid that he would fall and hurt his face.

Taking the opportunity, Ye Muchen put his arm around Jingxue's shoulder. "Xue'er, it would be so nice to be with you like this every day! You know that, Xue'er... mmm!"

Ye Muchen suddenly released Jingxue and bent over to vomit by the roadside.

Jingxue looked at him and said, "Ye Muchen, am I that disgusting?"

Ye Muchen vomited and waved his hands, unable to speak at all. Jingxue went over and patted his back.

"Brother, don't you know your own limits when it comes to drinking?"

Ye Muchen had finished vomiting by now. "Xue'er, you don't know, that guy Wanyan Junhao deliberately provoked me. I can't lose to him."

Jingxue remained silent.

"How are you?"

"much better!"

Jingxue: Foreign beers are pretty strong!

Although he said he was much better, Ye Muchen was still a little unsteady. He hugged Jingxue again, this time face to face. He was more than a head taller than Jingxue, and he rested his chin on Jingxue's head.

"Xue'er, I truly love you. Please don't leave me, okay? I only want to be with you. I don't care what skills you have, or whether you are human or demon. I only want you!" Ye Muchen said clearly.

This time, Jingxue didn't struggle. She said softly, "Ye Muchen, you've had too much to drink!"

"But wine emboldens heroes. I don't know how to use fancy words, nor do I know how to please women. I only have a sincere heart. Xue'er, shall we be together?" Ye Muchen's voice was a little choked up.

Jingxue: "You, you don't get agitated! Let's go back first! I'm a little cold!"

When Ye Muchen heard Jingxue say she was cold, he opened his cloak and wrapped it around her.

"Xue'er, let's be together, okay? We'll never be apart!"

Jingxue's vision went black as she was covered, and she could smell the alcohol and sandalwood-like scent on Ye Muchen. She pushed Ye Muchen away.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Ye Muchen wiped his face, finally let go of Jingxue, and instead held her hand, saying nothing more, and walked back together.

Today, the two of them have taken a step closer. He said what he wanted to say, and Jingxue didn't get angry or lose her temper. He didn't dare to ask for anything more, and he felt that he was losing control of himself and wanted more.

The two returned to Yichun Palace, where Gao Chi and Ying Si and Ying Wu had already prepared hot water and were waiting for them.

"You all help the prince back to his room to wash up first, I'll go get him some hangover tea," Jingxue said.

Xiaoman came out when she heard the commotion. "Miss, this servant will go and make some sobering tea for the Prince!"

"No need, I'll do it!"

Ye Muchen waved his hand, "No need for that. Just let Gao Chi serve me. Xiaoman, help your young lady back to her room!"

Jingxue didn't want to stand on ceremony with them, so she went straight back to her bedroom, took off her coat, and took out honey, lemon, and black tea from her medicine box.

Xiaoman came in carrying a bucket of boiling water. "Miss, why don't you take a bath first? The Prince should be taking a bath too! The hangover tea will get cold if you brew it too early."

"All right!"

After getting a change of clothes, the two went into the shower room.

While helping Jingxue wash her hair, Xiaoman said, "Miss, today I heard Yingwu say that when you were unconscious on New Year's Eve, the Prince also suffered a lot. The reason why the Prince caught a cold was because he used snow from outside to cool down in water..."

Jingxue is a doctor, so she can imagine what that must have felt like. The ancients sometimes used really strong medicines. That damned Baili Zhan! She hadn't been harsh enough with him today; she should have given him a good beating.

That old scoundrel, the retired emperor, is full of wicked schemes!

After showering and drying their hair, Jingxue and Xiaoman made hangover tea and brought it to Ye Muchen's room.

Gao Chi was helping Ye Muchen style his hair when Jing Xue instructed Xiao Man to bring the hairdryer. In all this time, she had given Ye Muchen almost nothing except a lantern.

She wanted to help Ye Muchen dry his hair and watch him drink the hangover tea, but Ye Muchen told them to go back to their room immediately.

Ye Muchen looked at Jingxue, who was wearing a white undergarment and had her hair down, and the energy within him became uncontrollable again, so he quickly told them to leave.

Jingxue didn't insist. She had to go to Lengyan Palace tomorrow and prepare samples for the delegation. She had a lot to do!

In the Northern Night Kingdom, the third day of the first lunar month is the day when married women return to their parents' home.

Therefore, Prime Minister Zou and Hu Yucheng arrived at Wang Hansheng's residence early in the morning with their families. Their father-in-law had passed away, but their mother-in-law was still alive.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Hansheng took his two brothers-in-law to his study for tea.

"I received news that Princess Zhan's estate is on fire! That's wonderful!" Wang Hansheng said excitedly.

Prime Minister Zou and Hu Yucheng exchanged a glance, both with smiles on their faces. After drinking their tea, Hu Yucheng said, "The Ministry of Revenue has prepared everything the delegation needed before the New Year, except for the grain seeds. I wonder what Princess Zhan will give them!"

"Perhaps we'll have to make up the numbers with ordinary grains?" Prime Minister Zou said.

Wang Hansheng said, "How can that be? That would damage Bei Ye's reputation. Besides, if the delegation is not satisfied, there will be a penalty for breach of contract. Yu Cheng, you have to talk to the Emperor about this!"

"I don't need to say anything, the Emperor isn't stupid! I bet he hasn't been able to sleep these past few days. As for the penalty for breach of contract, it's not much money. The deposit was collected by Princess Zhan, and she's also taking the penalty," Hu Yucheng said.

“If Princess Zhan fails to do well this time, the censor will impeach her. The emperor thinks too highly of her, even letting a woman participate in the negotiations. It’s unheard of. How embarrassing for us men?” Wang Hansheng said resentfully.

Prime Minister Zou said, "If you want to impeach someone, find more reasons to do so, which will make it more convincing. It's a pity that An Wenguang is finished this time."

Mentioning An Wenguang, Hu Yucheng said, "I wonder how the Emperor will deal with him this time. There's been no news of him these past two days. I wonder how worried he must be at home!"

“He came from a poor family and only became the top scholar in the imperial examination when he was over twenty years old. His mother was uncouth and vulgar, so it’s no wonder the emperor was furious. He certainly can’t be the vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue,” said Prime Minister Zou.

Wang Hansheng said, "Then who can His Majesty appoint as Vice Minister of Revenue? I do have someone in mind, but I don't know if His Majesty will agree?"

"You are the Minister of Personnel, in charge of the selection and recommendation of officials. The Emperor will consider your opinion. Who do you want to recommend?" Hu Yucheng asked.

“Wang Shumo, the prefect of Yizhou!” Wang Hansheng said.

Wang Shumo gave Wang Hansheng a lot of gifts before the New Year. He was recommended by Wang Hansheng to be the prefect. At that time, he was the assistant prefect of Yizhou. He married the daughter of the richest man in Yizhou, so he was not short of money. Every year, he would give Wang Hansheng 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver.

Prime Minister Zou said, "I'm afraid His Majesty has already chosen someone!"
