Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chu Qi was already tipsy as he stared at the empty bottle of wine, but he still remembered not to allow Ji'er to drink.

Now that the bottle was empty, Ji'er would not be able to drink any wine.

He felt relieved.

However, he next saw Ji'er instruct her maidservant to bring over another bottle.

Her hand looked especially beautiful when it held the cup, which was made out of white jade.

Chu Qi narrowed his eyes as he stared at the scene and he saw Ji'er turn to look at him. Her rosy red lips slowly parted. "It's good to have you back, Lil Qi."

She held her cup up and gently clinked it to his. There was a light 'ding'.

Chu Qi watched as she gulped down the wine.

He wanted to stop her, but the effect of the alcohol had gotten to him and he slumped onto the table, drunk.

"Hoho." Ji'er laughed gently. A gorgeous smile blossomed on her cold, distant face.

The young men from affluent families who were in the hall stared at her in a daze.

Princess Ji'er had a face that could launch a thousand ships.

They were used to her distant, cold expression and rarely saw her smile. They had never expected her to look so pretty when she smiled.

If the Emperor and Empress were not seated in the hall, this group of young men would have exclaimed in excitement.

Long Yang saw Chu Qi slumped on the table, drunk, and glanced at Ji'er with slight astonishment. He said to Lu Liangwei, "Our girl has actually gotten Lil Qi drunk."

Lu Liangwei saw it too and looked at her youngest daughter drinking happily. She said rather emotionally, "Ji'er learned to drink from you." She wondered if it was a good thing for a girl to be drinking so much.

Long Yang smiled softly and held her hand when he heard her words. "It isn't a bad thing to be able to hold her liquor. At least she won't get drunk after one cup."

Lu Liangwei could tell he was making fun of her. She darted a look at him with a small smile and suddenly said to Zhao Qian, "Bring a few more vats of wine for His Majesty."

Zhao Qian looked at the Emperor and Empress with slight astonishment, but did not delay as he quickly gave instructions for the wine to be brought out.

Lu Liangwei personally unsealed the mud covers on the wine and said to all the imperial court officials present, "This has been a joyous occasion for His Majesty and he wishes for everyone to drink to their hearts' content. He will drink till he falls!"

A chill ran down everyone's spines when they heard this and they stared at the few huge vats of wine placed in front of the Emperor.

His Majesty was known to hold his liquor very well. How could anyone outdrink him?

However, the Empress had made the announcement and by the looks of His Majesty, they were probably not allowed to leave the banquet without finishing the wine.

As this thought crossed everyone's minds, the servants brought in the wine and passed a vat to every table.

This was a massive headache for the officials who did not drink and they could only stare blankly at the wine.

Lu Liangwei carried a vat of wine to Long Yang. "Your Majesty has always been known to hold your liquor very well. You should showcase that to me and your officials."

Long Yang glanced at her and took the wine.

Lu Liangwei patted his shoulder and gestured for him to get going. "You can do it, Your Majesty. Drink up." However, in her heart, she was convinced that he would end up drunk with this much wine.

He had always been confident that he would never get drunk, but what about now? Hehe!

Just as she was basking in the delight of this thought, the man's clean scent filled her nostrils. "Weiwei, you're asking for it."

Before Lu Liangwei could understand what he meant, she saw him pick up the vat of wine and said to his officials, "We must not disappoint the Empress and her good intention. Come on, let's drink up, everyone."

The officials were already trembling in their knees. However, they had no choice but to pick up the wine vats and drink.

However, Lu Tingchen, Chu Yi, Long Xuan, and the others brightened up.

Her Highness was such a kind and understanding soul.

They had not drunk wine for a long time.

A great opportunity was right in front of them.

As such, they ignored their wives, who were usually quite strict with them in this regard, and scrambled to pick up their vats of wine.

Chu Jiu, Lin Qingyuan, Zhu Yu, "…"

All three of them narrowed their eyes at the same time.

Only one thought ran through their minds. 'Drink all you want right now, but be prepared to sleep on the floor tonight when we get home!'
