Baby, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you to the heavens and the seas!

The Prime Minister's residence was bustling with activity as night fell, with red banners fluttering and the aroma of wine filling the air.

The night breeze carried the aroma of wine out of the Prime Minister's mansion's vermilion gates, intoxicating everyone who traveled along the way.

In the high pavilion of Yixin Courtyard, a few people who were preparing for the imperial examination were drinking the wine that Grand Chancellor Gui had buried under the peach tree for several years, and they were having a great time playing around.

"What's wrong with me, Gui Ningzhi, the youngest daughter of the Grand Chancellor, wanting the position of Crown Princess?! What's wrong with that?!"

Drunk and tipsy, Gui Ningzhi stood barefoot on a stool, gesturing dismissively for a few moments before taking a few more sips of spring wine.

"Little sister, no, I'm not talking about you."

"Why are you so infatuated with His Highness the Crown Prince? He's so cold and aloof, like a dead log, so boring!! So boring!"

Gui Ning'an held Wu Huaixiu in his arms, both of them so drunk they were staggering, their forehead ribbons having been pulled off somewhere.

Wu Huaixiu helped her nephew up, and didn't forget to give Lin Wanwan a flirtatious look.

"Yes! Zhi'er, you are a noble lady, after all, chasing after His Highness the Crown Prince for so long..."

"Let me count... Oh dear, how come there's an extra finger? Oh dear~!!" Wan Qingqing blushed, too drunk to open her eyes, and just kept scrambling for air, laughing foolishly.

"Hahaha~ If you ask me, my child, Young Master Luo is much better than His Highness the Crown Prince!!"

"Hahaha, if all else fails, let Young Master Luo marry into your Prime Minister's mansion! Hahaha!" Wan Qingqing, staggering, picked up another bowl of wine and drank it down in one gulp, then stumbled toward Qianqian Luo.

"Qingqing, stop drinking!!" Qianqianlu snatched the wine bowl from the daughter of the Vice Minister of War and steadily supported her.

"No, Young Master Luo is mine! You, you get out of my way!" Gui Ning'an pushed Wan Qingqing aside and was about to bump into Qianqian Luo.

"Hahaha, how about letting Young Master Luo serve you and your brother together? Hahaha!"

"Qingqing, don't talk nonsense!!" Lin Wanwan hurriedly stepped forward and covered Wan Qingqing's mouth, who was extremely drunk, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Gui Ningzhi, who was lying on the table, muttered, "Okay, anything is fine, as long as I can be the Crown Princess."

"Miss Wanwan, this is a hangover tea. Please have some to warm your body!" After pushing her nephew away, Wu Huaixiu took the tea offered by the servant and presented it to Lin Wanwan.

The two were gazing into each other's eyes, their love blossoming like dry wood meeting a raging fire, when Qingqing, whom Lin Wanwan was supporting, opened her mouth wide and instantly spewed out an unidentified substance.

Ugh!! Ugh ugh ugh ugh!

vomit! ! !

"Holy crap!!"

Qianqianluo watched as Wanqingqing vomited all over them, the various smells of vomit overwhelming them, the bright yellow vomit dripping with sticky strands, soaking the two of them completely.

A lady from a respectable family is a lady from a respectable family. Apart from pinching and squeezing Wan Qingqing in the dark for a while with her hand trembling with anger, Lin Wanwan still maintained a smile on her face without changing her expression.

"Hahaha"

"Qingqing got drunk and vomited all over Young Master Huaixiu. Please, please don't mind!"

Wu Huaixiu covered her mouth and nose, completely overwhelmed by the stench; how could she possibly have any desire left?

But! When Lin Wanwan's soft voice came, he felt himself getting aroused again!

"No, nothing's wrong! Hahaha!"

"Someone, someone take Miss Qingqing downstairs to wash up!"

"Yes, young master!" After the servant dragged away the obstruction, Wu Huaixiu spoke in a softer voice:

“Miss Wanwan, there is a private hot spring pool behind the Prime Minister’s residence. If you trust Huaixiu, Huaixiu will personally lead you there!”

Qianqianlu kicked Gui Ning'an, who was lying unconscious on the ground, a few times. When she heard Wu Huaixiu's bold and straightforward invitation, she couldn't help but glance at the two of them out of the corner of her eye.

"No! Young Master Huaixiu, Father will not allow you to stay out all night and disturb others!"

"Wanwan, I'll take my leave now~~!!" Lin Wanwan left the pavilion with tender affection, turning back every few steps to tease the pretentious guy.

The pretentious Wu Huaixiu couldn't stand this kind of teasing. He immediately turned tail and ran away like a dog that can't stop eating shit: "Miss Wanwan~, Huaixiu will see you off!!"

Well, now all that's left are the drunken Gui siblings and their protector, Qianqianluo.

Just as Qianqian was scratching her head, wondering whether she should carry the two of them away, the Prime Minister, who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion, made a sarcastic remark about the escorting envoy.

"Hmph, one is influenced by one's company; I, Gui Ningyu, have devoted my life to serving the court, yet I never imagined I would be defeated by this...!!"

"Sigh, fine! Carry the young master and young lady away. Young Master Luo, please do as you please! Hmph!"

The Prime Minister cursed and turned to leave.

Qianqianlu gritted her teeth, her face contorted: "So, the Prime Minister just doesn't want to admit that he failed in raising his son, and he's scolding me in front of the servants to save face!"

"Didn't the Gui siblings learn how to drink and have fun before I came to the capital?! You old bastard, you dare to manipulate me after you've already manipulated yourself!!"

"Old Deng, take this!!" Qianqian, increasingly angry, took a peanut and lightly tapped the Prime Minister's useless head. (Please do not imitate this.)

"Ouch! Ouch! My head is killing me!!"

"Your Excellency, are you... are you alright?!"

"Oh dear, who's blind?! Oh dear, who's blind?!" The Prime Minister covered his head and looked around, clenching his fists as he stared at the high pavilion.

Knowing that Lao Deng would suspect her, Qianqian had already fled the scene of the crime and had a solid alibi.

"Oh! Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?"

"This lowly commoner was strolling around the Prime Minister's residence when he heard the Prime Minister's voice!!"

Upon seeing this foreign son who had defamed the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister immediately straightened up and stood as steady as an old dog: "It's alright! It's nothing, just some servants in the manor making a fuss!"

"Someone, prepare a room for Young Master Luo. Don't let others think that our Prime Minister's residence is impolite and has treated him poorly!"

The Prime Minister waved his hand again, exuding an aura of immense power, and after giving his orders, he turned and left this place of trouble.

"Hahaha, Young Master Luo, please follow this old servant!" Uncle Wang, the steward of the manor, led the way, taking Qianqian Luo, who had escaped from the East Palace, to her room.

"Young Master Luo, the Eldest Young Master has instructed that during the upcoming imperial examinations, his side room will be available for you to stay in!"

"Haha~ If you need anything, just give the servants your orders. It's late, you should get some rest! This servant will take his leave!"

Uncle Wang explained the situation to Qianqianluo, who was inside the inner couch, through a floor-length curtain.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble. Old man, you should get some rest too!"

Qianqian skillfully trimmed the wick of the lamp on the inner bed, then yawned and slumped into the mattress, feeling weak all over.

After eating several bowls of peach wine that the Prime Minister had buried for many years, Qianqian felt that the peach wine had a low alcohol content and didn't feel good after eating it.

It's one thing that the Prime Minister's peach wine isn't good, but even the Prime Minister's people aren't feeling well!

So, in her dream, Qianqian dreamed that she had returned to the Southern Frontier!

She leisurely sipped her potent peach juice on an ancient peach tree atop Wuming Mountain, living a vibrant life.
