As soon as Li Xi'er sat down, she poured a glass of wine for Zhou Yu and then poured it for herself. She raised the glass with both hands and changed from Su Daji and Bao Si, who had brought disaster to the country and the people and had unparalleled elegance, to gentle and gentle girls next door. This change was rapid.

It's a bit surprising.

"The little girl was filled with joy when she saw the young master today. It is Xi'er's honor that the young master is willing to invite Xi'er to stay. If the young master doesn't mind, then Xi'er can borrow flowers, offer a Buddha, and give him a drink. Although Xi'er is not strong enough to drink, as long as he can be with the young master,

No matter how much we drink, we are still willing to cherish our children together."

"Is that so?" Zhou Yu smiled slightly, raised his glass and drank, then said to Li Xi'er: "I am also very happy to drink with such an unparalleled beauty as Miss Xi'er. Now that I have finished my drink, I should Xi'er

You drank."

The smile on Li Xi'er's face froze, but she reacted quickly and did not let others notice. But who is Zhou Yu? He is an old monster who has lived for a long time. Even the slightest change cannot escape his eyes, but Zhou Yu

What's even better about his acting is that he didn't let Li Xi'er discover this.

Li Xier also drank the wine in the glass, then covered her face with her long sleeves and coughed lightly.

If he were a caring young man, he would immediately care about Li Xier's situation and say a few heartwarming words, but if it were Zhou Yu, it would be another matter.

"It seems that Miss Xi'er is really incapable of drinking. In that case, let's just mix tea with wine. If I don't let you, Miss Xi'er, and my son have a drink today, how can I express my love for you, Miss Xi'er.

"

Li Xier was stunned for a moment again. She was in a daze and thought Zhou Yu had made a mistake: "Did Young Master say tea instead of wine?"

"That's right, I'm talking about mixing tea with wine."

Zhou Yu smiled and raised a clean tea cup and placed it in front of Li Xi'er. He poured half of the tea and half of the wine into the tea cup: "Miss Xi'er must have choked on the smell of wine. Now she should use tea to dilute the smell of wine."

It will be easier to drink, so I, the King...I, the Crown Prince, drink first as a token of respect."

With that said, Zhou Yu also took a tea cup, poured half a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp. Then he looked at Li Xi'er with bright eyes and expectant look on his face: "Miss Xi'er, please."

Li Xi'er was stunned. Is this man sick? Could it be that this handsome guy who looks like Mr. Yu is actually a fool?

No, what did he call himself just now, my king? Is he still a prince? This is a prince! The biggest one after the emperor, right?

Li Xier pursed her lips and her eyes were full of playfulness, not pitiful or unwilling at all, but a kind of affectionate, tell me what to do, Zhou Yu immediately understood that this girl was not only scheming, but also a human being.

Master.

But what about the master? If Zhou Yu is willing to act with her, then she is real. But if he is not willing, then the master is just an ant that can be easily stepped on.

The alcohol content of liquor in this era is not too high, with an average of 10 to 20 degrees, which is a little stronger than beer. But beer is drunk in large gulps, but here it is only a small cup. Zuixian

The wine provided in a place like Lou must be good and not too high in alcohol content. Otherwise, how would he sell more wine? Judging from Zhou Yu's drinking, it would probably take a long time before he gets drunk.

As for mixing tea with wine, it is not a big problem. Drinking a small amount will not have much impact on the body, but it does dilute the taste of the wine and objectively speaking, it turns the original ten-percent wine into a five-percent wine.

It will be easier to enter.

Li Xi'er also showed a slightly uncomfortable look when she was drinking the cup of tea mixed with wine. She reluctantly drank the whole glass of wine and then smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "Thank you, sir, it's really easy."

It’s over.”

If that pitiful little look were a man with a little bit of penchant for flowers, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it and continue to bully this girl, but Zhou Yu at this time was completely outside of this range.

"That's good." Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, as if he took Li Xi'er's words completely seriously.

Li Xi'er used tea to disguise herself and tried to provoke Zhou Yu's pity for her, but Zhou Yu directly chose to respond by being upright and brainless. Anyway, it was you, Li Xi'er, who said it. I will do what you say.

"Miss Xi'er, did you live in Jiangnan before?"

"Yes, Master. Xi'er has been living in Jiangnan before. It was Mother Chen who brought Xi'er to the capital and was lucky enough to meet the Master."

"The rich people in the south of the Yangtze River have fewer things to worry about. Here in the capital, hey... But Xi'er, you are right. If you hadn't come to the capital, Xi'er, you wouldn't have been able to meet this prince. This is the fate between the two of us. I

One cup for you."

"Xi'er, what are you not used to when you come to the capital? If anyone bullies Xi'er, just tell me, and I will definitely find your place."

"No, Xi'er thinks the capital is very nice, and Mrs. Chen and everyone take good care of Xi'er and no one bullies Xi'er. It would be better if Xi'er could see the young master every day in the future."

"That's it, that's good. If someone bullies you Xi'er, let the madam go find that Master Ma. Master Ma, if Xi'er is bullied in the future, I will be the one who wants to trouble you. Xi'er, this is

Please get to know Mr. Ma Shunma, please give Mr. Ma a toast. No one in this capital will dare to bully you."

"Xi'er thanks you, Master, and Master Ma. Xi'er would like to toast Master and Master Ma."

"Drink, I'll give you a cup...the tea is gone. Now that I've drank so much, I shouldn't feel the alcohol has washed away my taste."

"Drink, I'll give you a drink."

"You have one cup and I have one cup."

"Mr. Ma, one drink for you."

"You have one cup, Master Ma, one cup."

"Master Cheng, why don't you drink a toast? Come on, have a drink."

"You should also make a toast to me and I'll pour it for you."

………………

"Master... Xi'er is already too drunk."

Zhou Yu looked at Li Xi'er's red face and charming eyes, and finally believed that this girl was really starting to get drunk. But Zhou Yu could guarantee that Li Xi'er was not drunk yet, and she was over the alcohol.

But I can't say that I'm drunk yet, but if I continue to drink, it will be hard to say.

"Forget it, that's it for today. Xi'er, you should also have a good rest. I will come see you for a drink when I have time."

Zhou Yu regretfully put down his wine glass and nodded towards Ma Shun: "It's over for today."

Ma Shun also put down his wine glass and stood up: "Old Madam Chen, I will have the money delivered later. Miss Xi'er, please keep an eye on me. If there is any problem, let alone you."

Even the entire Zuixian Tower and the people and officers who cover it must be taken down, so remember this."

This was no joke. The old madam also saw that Ma Shun was not joking. She trembled and immediately said flatteringly: "The slave family has recorded what Mr. Ma said. Please rest assured that the slave family will definitely take care of Xi'er and prevent her from suffering any disadvantages."

."

"That's best."

As soon as he got out of the box and came downstairs, Xing'an, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately came to greet him. It was not just Xing'an alone but several people who came to greet him. They immediately surrounded Zhou Yu, with people wearing clothes and hats passing things to him.

For hot tea, there is also a hand-held lantern-like structure, but it is a special copper charcoal stove and is held in a large posture to keep out the wind and keep warm.

The group of people just left under the watch of the Madam and others, but Ma Shun stayed behind: "Everyone who drank with the noble man today will be taken good care of from today on."

The old bustard said quickly: "I understand, I understand."

Ma Shun snorted, then took the thick cloak from his subordinates, hung it up and strode out.

Although it is already under curfew, the street outside Zuixianju is still quite lively. There are various food stalls that are still open, and there are also people walking in and out of the street.

But Zhou Yu, Mashun and others didn't care about it at all, as if they also turned a blind eye to the curfew.

This is correct. As the emperor, Zhou Yu naturally does not have to abide by the curfew, and Ma Shun is the commander of the Imperial Guard who can ignore the curfew, but this does not prevent them from taking everything in front of them for granted.

In fact, the curfew does not mean that everyone must stay at home and not go out. Now that it is close to the Chinese New Year, the enforcement of the curfew is naturally at the lowest level.

There were alleys and alleys like this in the ancient city. In fact, the curfew prohibited some main roads. It divided the entire city according to areas and locked the people inside. The curfew prohibited these different sizes.

The circulation of people between areas and the movement of people in separate areas are actually not a serious problem, let alone the area now full of brothels and inns.

And even if there is a curfew, as long as it is not during wartime or there are special circumstances, and there is a token in hand, some connections between North Korea and China, and some money in the wallet, then everyone will ignore the curfew.

Even so, we can't just blindly think that the curfew is useless. On the contrary, in this era, the curfew is an excellent means of maintaining public security. It is extremely effective in preventing fires and avoiding chaos, so even if Zhou Yu comes from

In a world where curfews do not exist at all, it is impossible to abolish curfews. The cost of abolishing curfews is still too high today, but we can learn from the Northern Song Dynasty and shorten the curfew time, starting from the third watch to the end of the fifth watch instead of

Start from the first watch.

Zhou Yu encountered no obstacles all the way back to the palace. It must have been arranged in advance.

After returning to the palace and drinking some sobering soup, Zhou Yu fell asleep on a warm bed under the service of the palace maid. After drinking some wine, he felt a little high when he lay down. As soon as he fell asleep, he really didn't know anything.

There is actually no difference at all whether someone goes to court or not with him or not.

After getting up, I ate something, asked what was going on in the court, and then asked Cheng Jing, who had not had much rest at all, to rest.

Cheng Jing left, and Zhou Yu hadn't even put on his coat in the warm wing when someone came to report that Concubine Hang wanted to see her.

After getting permission, Concubine Hang walked in with a palace maid carrying a food box.

Concubine Hang was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhou Yu sitting on a chair drinking soup, and then she smiled at Zhou Yu: "I thought your majesty was still sleeping."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "I just woke up. It's because I feel sorry for me that I got up early and asked someone to make this table. It just so happens that you come and sit down too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Concubine Hang sat down, she asked the palace maid to take out all the contents of the food box and put them on the table: "These are made by my concubine personally, guarding the maids in the courtyard. There are sobering soup and other things that His Majesty likes to eat.

I will give it to Your Majesty to try."

"I'm determined." Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction. As for the things that could be brought to him, they must have been inspected.

Zhou Yu put down the bowl in his hand and drank the soup brought by Concubine Hang. He laughed and said, "It tastes like this. I drank it at Prince Xi's Mansion before. Concubine Hang is my favorite."

Concubine Hang smiled softly: "As long as your Majesty likes it."

"Of course I like it." Zhou Yu slowly sipped the soup and ate, and said: "You said that I suddenly became the emperor, which is really different from before. Before, our family was quiet in Prince Xi's Mansion.
