Are you going to drink it?

After knowing that Huai Jin had come to tidy up Ping Yang's things under the orders of the empress dowager and was planning to stay in the Grand Princess Mansion for a period of time, Ruan Qinghe hurriedly rushed back from the Mianan Temple.

Therefore, he was naturally grateful for Huai Jin's actions. Thus, he personally arranged Huai Jin's residence, and since he was avoiding suspicion, he did not personally go thank him, but rather had someone to pass a message to on his behalf to, and then returned to his own courtyard to rest.

Seeing that, Huai Jin was afraid that she would not be able to find the jade pendant, she turned and was about to leave, but just as she took a step, she was stopped by someone from behind.

”Since Princess Anping is here, why not have a drink with me too.” Yuwen Fei's frivolous voice came from behind him.

Huai Jin took a deep breath, she secretly rolled her eyes at Yuwen Fei, and walked out from the corner, but did not go in.

Because of the alcohol, Yuwen Fei's face was still a little flushed, he squinted his eyes slightly with his left hand supporting his head, looking at Huai Jin who was standing at the entrance of the courtyard, the dim yellow candlelight shone on his face, for a moment, he really looked like a dissolute young master.

Ruan Qinghe also looked towards Huai Jin. He had clearly drunk more than Yuwen Fei, but his eyes were incomparably clear.

”Since the Princess Anping is here, let's drink a cup together. It just so happens that Qing He is also offering a toast to the princess, treating it as an answer to today's matters in the manor.”

Only then did Huai Jin walk in, and after entering the pavilion, she did not sit down, but looked for a wine cup to pour for herself. She lifted it up towards Ruan Qinghe and downed the wine, before placing it down and leaving.

Yuwen Fei grabbed Huai Jin's hand and pulled him into the pavilion.

Huai Jin flung Yuwen Fei's hands away and said angrily: ”You're drunk.”

Yuwen Fei seemed to be really drunk, he reached out and grabbed Huai Jin, and suddenly laughed, his smile carrying a bit of drunkenness, causing Huai Jin to be a little absent-minded.

Ruan Qinghe looked at the two of them, laughed, and shook his head. He filled his cup with wine and started drinking.

Huai Jin was unable to get away from Huai Jin so she could only sit down and watch as the two of them drank their wine cup after cup. It was understandable for Ruan Qinghe's wife to be depressed but why was Yuwen Fei even more drunk than Ruan Qinghe.

Seeing that Yuwen Fei was almost drunk, Huai Jin grabbed the cup in her hands and gulped down the wine inside.

Yuwen Fei reached out his hands to snatch it, then grabbed the entire bottle of wine from his hands before smashing it to the ground. The wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The fragrance of the wine filled the air.

The crisp sound of the wine bottle hitting the ground pulled Ruan Qinghe back from his thoughts, and also woke Yuwen Fei up from his stupor. He looked at Huai Jin, half drunk, and grabbed onto Huai Jin's hand, then took the bottle from Ruan Qinghe's side, smiling as he said: ”Come and drink with me.”

Huai Jin's face turned cold, she did not take the alcohol from Yuwen Fei, but stared straight at him. She sensed that the Yuwen Fei tonight was a little strange, she did not pretend to be drunk just now, but he was truly drunk.

”You don't drink? ”Then I'll drink it all.” Yuwen Fei was about to take back the cup when he said that.

”I'll drink!”
