shock!Little Orphan, she made the perfume world cry

The male guests started to make a noise, probably starting to fight over wine.

Xu Zhizhong from the Ministry of Industry has always been an active member. In the past, Zhen Wenyuan sang with him, but this year he has been staring at Fang Rongchang who just took office.Although Fang Rongchang is not as greedy as he is for drinking, he is not weak in drinking capacity. Since he is new to the Shangshu circle, he had to give Xu Zhizhong face and drank with him several times.

Xu Zhizhong actually doesn't drink well, Fang Rongchang didn't change his face over there, but he was a little flustered, he pulled Fang Rongchang, and called him a brother very familiarly: "Brother Fang, I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking, you are indeed a formidable young man ah!"

Fang Rongchang broke away from his hand without a trace, but he grabbed it again and said, "Go, come with me to toast your majesty!"

Fang Rongchang's face was full of black lines: "Xu Shangshu, did you drink too much? We have already toasted just now!" Several other Shangshu at the same table also laughed, saying that Xu Zhizhong is not good enough, so drink too much up.

Xu Zhizhong was not convinced: "You guys just drank too much! I... I am very sober. Just now... just now we went to celebrate the queen mother's birthday, and now I... I went to toast the emperor! How about it, what do you want? Don't go together?"

"Okay, you go to take the lead first!" The seniority at this table is Liu Guangqi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is the oldest. Let's go first!"

Fang Rongchang said with an expression of "Why did you pull me?": "Xu Shangshu, my younger brother is still inexperienced. It's okay to have a drink with you, but I can't win this first battle!"

"Who said you can't fight?" Fang Rongchang was a little unhappy: "Brother in battle, are you my brother?"

Fang Rongchang was completely speechless, anyway, he really didn't want to stand with Xu Zhizhong in front of the emperor.In the officialdom, standing in line is a very important matter. When you haven't seen the situation clearly, or you haven't seen the details of the opponent, you must not stand in line casually, otherwise you will not be able to pick it clean when you want to pick it.

What's more, he knew that Xu Zhizhong's ass was not clean, so even if he risked offending him, he couldn't go.

"Xu Shangshu, I think you are really drunk!" Fang Rongchang replied softly, "Your surname is Xu, and my surname is Fang. How can they be brothers?"

Seeing that he didn't want to be with him, Xu Zhizhong became annoyed: "Hmph, fine! I'll go by myself!" Then he waved his hands and walked towards the main table.

Mu Junyan drank a glass of wine from Xu Zhizhong, and asked a few words casually: "Xu Shangshu, the first batch of funds for the construction of the canal in the past two months have been allocated, how is the progress now?"

"Don't worry, your majesty, everything is going on step by step!" Xu Zhizhong replied with a flattering smile.

Unexpectedly, Mu Junyan was unhappy. He felt that this answer was too perfunctory, so he said a little unhappy: "Doesn't that mean you didn't say anything?"

Xu Zhizhong was slightly taken aback, he was half sober, in fact, he has been busy sending people to make birthday gifts for the Empress Dowager recently, and he didn't pay much attention to the canal issue.The special funds for the construction of the canal were allocated, but he really didn't ask how it was used or the progress of the project.Of course, he couldn't tell the truth, so he quickly admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty taught me a lesson, I just said nonsense just now! The money for the canal has been allocated to Xinzi County, Guanyun County and other counties along the way. According to the road map drawn by the Ministry of Industry, Xinzi and Guanyun in the eastern section have already started excavating a section! The exact amount of excavation still needs to wait for their monthly reports."

Only then did Mu Junyan turn pale, nodded and said, "Well, you have to keep an eye on it all the time, so that you don't make any mistakes."

Xu Zhizhong successfully cleared the customs, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the queen mother again.

"Xu Shangshu, come here." The queen mother beckoned cordially, Xu Zhizhong saw Concubine Zhen standing beside her, and she was also looking at him with a smile, guessing that it was not a bad thing, he happily ran over.

"Zhen Wenyuan is not here today, you have become a loner!" The Queen Mother joked.

Xu Zhizhong was a little depressed at first, but when the queen mother said it out, he couldn't help but feel like he had a confidant, holding the wine glass in one hand, and slapping his thigh with the other hand: "It's the queen mother who understands the heart of a humble minister! Just go to the queen mother." Ma'am, I need a drink!" After speaking, he reached out to pick up the jug from the maid's tray beside him, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp in front of the Empress Dowager!

The Queen Mother laughed happily and said: "Look at Concubine Zhen, I'll tell you what kind of drinking competition you are doing, you still have to ask the old man, after all, he is an old man, the idea he came up with must be more interesting than yours!"

Concubine Zhen also knew that Xu Shangshu had always been on good terms with her father, so she said very kindly: "Oh, fortunately, the Empress Dowager reminded me, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity to ask for advice! Xu Shangshu, give me some advice, what do you want?" The flower head of Doujiu?"

As soon as Xu Shangshu heard the wine fight, he became excited, you must know that this is his specialty!He pretended to be deep and said: "There are so many tricks, but if you want to say fun, there is nothing more than 'wheel fighting'!"

"What is a wheel fight?" Concubine Zhen asked after her.

"Wheel fighting is a bit like a group arena. First, two people compete. The loser is eliminated, the winner continues to defend the ring, and then drinks with the new challenger. In the end, it is up to whoever drinks the most and defeats the most. Think Back then, your father was the one who could drink till the end and win the whole game!" Xu Shangshu said while immersed in memories.

Concubine Zhen understood and found it very interesting, so she smiled and begged the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, let's just play this wheel fight, do you think it's okay?"

Ever since Luo Wushuang sought medical treatment for Mu Junze, the Empress Dowager knew that she could not be used by herself, but she promised her to the King of Yan. She was so happy to watch the wine fight, so she said with a smile: "As long as she wants, you can do as you please!"

Concubine Zhen happily led the order away, but she didn't believe it. With her ancestral good drinking capacity, she couldn't drink that Luo Wushuang to the ground!

In fact, Luo Wushuang also knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely agree, regardless of Concubine Zhen's triumphant expression.She was already ready, and she was waiting for her to come - hit the muzzle!

Concubine Zhen first went to the empress to report back, and then smiled at Luo Wushuang: "The empress dowager is very interested in the wine fight competition I proposed, Princess Yan, you won't spoil the empress dowager's interest, will you?"

Oh, this has not even started yet, the big hat has been buckled.Luo Wushuang sneered in his heart: "Since Concubine Zhen is so interested, of course I won't disappoint."

"That's good! Let's play a wheel battle!" Concubine Zhen couldn't wait to introduce the rules.

After hearing this, Luo Wushuang frowned slightly, wondering what Concubine Zhen's purpose was.
