Chapter 309 Take your own husband home and train him yourself!
Inside the sanatorium for meritorious officials of the Tang Dynasty, the lights are bright, as if it were daytime.
Beneath the carved beams and painted buildings, a group of guests gathered around a table filled with delicacies, clinking glasses and making a lot of noise.
At this moment, Zhang Xianhuai and Qin Ruzhao were already deeply immersed in the sea of wine. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, two old veterans with generous personalities, took turns urging them to drink, until they were drunk to the point of being unsteady and on the verge of collapse.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde were tireless. They held wine cups, their faces flushed, their eyes flashing with excitement, and they never stopped toasting for a moment.
Those cups of spicy and strong Xiaobaigan went straight down the throat and into the stomach.
During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, wedding customs were still Han Chinese traditions. Women did not need to follow the old rules and wait in their boudoirs, but could sit at the same table with everyone and share the excitement of the wedding banquet.
Compared with Zhang Xianhuai, Qin Ruzhao's alcohol tolerance is slightly better.
At this time, Zhang Xianhuai had already been completely overcome by alcohol. His eyes were blurred and dazed, he had lost his mind and had no thoughts of his own.
He staggered out of the table, vomited several times, and returned slumped in his chair, his consciousness almost blurred.
Although Qin Ruzhao still managed to retain a trace of clarity, he was still forcing himself to stay tired.
Jiang Lai was beside him, her eyes full of pity. She gently picked up a wet wipe, and with gentle and careful movements, slowly wiped the corner of Qin Ruzhao's mouth.
Li Xueyan usually looks like a delicate flower, gentle and quiet.
However, at this moment, seeing her husband being forced to drink by Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde, two "old men", and in such a miserable state, her eyebrows suddenly raised.
She suddenly stretched out her delicate hand and slammed the table hard. The loud "bang" sound instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Then, she raised one foot high and placed it firmly on the chair beside her. Next to the chair was Zhang Xianhuai, who was already drunk and unconscious.
She stood there with a heroic demeanor and shouted, "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Hei! You two are so dishonest! I'll drink with you!"
The sound is clear and loud, just like the ringing of a silver bell.
Seeing Li Xueyan's eagerness to protect her husband and her aggressive look, Yuchi Jingde was startled at first, then he reacted. He stroked his round belly with his rough and broad hands, and raised his head to burst into earth-shaking laughter.
"Xiaoyan, it's not your Uncle Cheng and Uncle Hei who are bullying! It's just that these two young men can't hold their liquor well. Your Uncle Cheng and Uncle Hei are just thinking of the friendship of His Majesty and helping you, a little girl, to discipline her!"
He laughed loudly and spoke at the top of his voice, his words full of sarcasm.
Cheng Yaojin was also laughing so hard that he fell backwards. His hearty laughter intertwined with Yuchi Jingde's laughter, echoing in the hall.
When Li Xueyan heard what the two said, she raised her delicate chin slightly, a hint of arrogance in her eyes, and snorted softly.
"I will take my own husband home and train him carefully! Today, I will represent my husband and make sure to drink you down!"
Her resounding and bold words caused an uproar among the crowd, and then they broke into thunderous applause.
"Great! Great! You're worthy of being the Princess of the Great Tang! I'm going to make sure these two old bastards get drunk!"
Those who cheered and cheered were all old ministers who held high positions of power and were highly respected in the court.
Even Li Jing, who usually kept his emotions to himself, was infected by the warm atmosphere. He stood up, smiled, and clapped his hands vigorously in applause.
When Cheng Yaojin heard Li Xueyan's words, his laughter stopped abruptly. He widened his eyes, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but more of it was the aroused competitive spirit.
"Haha, you're really a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger! Drink however you want! Your Uncle Cheng and Uncle Hei will challenge you to a duel today!"
He shouted loudly, his voice full of heroism and fighting spirit.
Li Xueyan stared firmly at the bottles of Xiaobaigan on the table, which exuded a strong aroma of alcohol, and said without hesitation, "Just drink it like this! I drink a glass, and you drink a glass too!"
As soon as these simple yet challenging rules came out, the smiles on everyone's faces became brighter, and they were all looking forward to the exciting duel between the young woman and the veteran. Who will be the winner? Let's see this "contest" at the wine table.
Li Chengqian, who was not far away, was talking quietly with several ministers when he suddenly heard the noise coming from Li Xueyan's side.
He turned his head slightly, his gaze fixed on Li Daozon opposite him, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, outlining a faint smile, and he said softly: "Prince Jiangxia, may I have an order? Don't let Princess Wencheng drink too much and become unwell?" His words implied sympathy for his subject.
Upon hearing this, Li Daozon hurriedly waved his hands with a helpless look on his face.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. I drink wine as easily as I drink water."
"I'm actually worried that Old Cheng and Old Hei won't be able to handle it!"
His voice was neither too high nor too low, but it was clearly audible in this noisy environment, and his words revealed his confidence in his daughter's drinking capacity.
Li Shimin was originally chatting with several ministers beside him. After hearing what Li Daozon said, he immediately became interested. He straightened his body slightly, and there was a glint of curiosity in his eyes.
"Oh? So powerful?" he asked softly, with surprise in his tone.
Seeing this, Li Daozon raised his hand to cover his face, sighed helplessly, and nodded slowly.
"It's all my fault for not bringing up my children properly. I'm sorry to have caused Your Majesty and you all to laugh at me. I'm sorry to have caused you all to laugh at me!"
Although he said this, the relief in his words was like an undercurrent that was difficult to conceal.
Li Chengqian listened to Li Daozon's words, and waved his hand gently with an expression of appreciation on his face.
"I think this is a very heroic act by a woman. The King of Jiangxia has educated his daughter very well indeed! I offer you a toast."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
Seeing this, Fatty Lin quickly stood up and echoed, "Your Majesty, I also offer a toast to King Jiangxia."
Seeing that both of them had stood up, Mr. Qi knew it was inconvenient for him to sit any longer, so he stood up and said, "Then I, too, would like to offer a toast to King Jiangxia. Thank you for betrothing such an outstanding daughter to your majesty and our students."
Li Daozon was flattered when he saw these three people toasting him at the same time. He quickly stood up, lowered his posture very humblely, and his face was full of gratitude.
"I am extremely humbled and flattered, truly flattered!" He said as he respectfully raised his glass and drank it all with everyone else as a sign of respect.
