Chapter 568
It was night, and the city that never sleeps in Kyoto was brightly lit. The bustling streets were filled with various lanterns.

It is also the most frequented place for officials at all levels in the court. As long as it is at night, as long as it is the famous restaurants and brothels in the city, you will definitely find dignified officials at all levels during the day.

In the most famous Drunken Immortal Tower in the city of Kyoto, the entire private room on the third floor was reserved. It was really bustling at this time, and the people who could be seated tonight were all senior members of the third rank or above.

Cang Shuhang is obviously the lowest status here. He and Zheng Guanbei, the minister of rites, were distant relatives. He will leave Beijing tomorrow, so he will go to the Zheng residence to bid farewell. Although he is not sure whether Zheng Guanbei remembers him as a distant relative, but this It doesn't matter, when it's time to set it up, you have to set it up.

But who would have thought that Zheng Guanbei hosted a banquet in this Zuixian Tower today, and he followed in a daze, seeing so many officials, but no one looked him straight. . .

Thinking of the fright he had suffered in the past few days because of the broken jade pendant, the more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he began to drink wine alone, pouring it into his stomach one cup at a time.

At some point, a drunken person sat beside him. The two of them didn't know each other, but they drank together, and their words were also irrelevant.

"Master Hou, you are drunk, go back." Sifu walked to Pei Qinghan and said.

Pei Qinghan waved his hand: "Why not, I haven't had enough." He was already seven points drunk, knowing that it was time to put down the glass, but he was reluctant, and still poured wine into his stomach one after another.

Ever since that woman left Hou's mansion, he became more and more bored and unwilling to go back day by day.

He didn't know why he was doing this. The woman left and would die outside soon. Isn't that what he wanted?What is he bothered about?
He raised his glass and touched the man next to him, and asked, "Brother, you also seem to be troubled, can you tell me?"

Cang Shuhang smiled and asked: "Yeah? So you also have something to worry about? What did he call you just now? Lord Hou? Which mansion are you from?"

Sifu on the side said hurriedly: "My lord, my master is Chang Yuanhou."

Pei Qinghan said: "My surname is Pei, and my name is Qinghan. I don't know this brother's name? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Cang Shuhang is not an official in the capital, and Pei Qinghan has no important position in the court, so it's normal that he hasn't seen him.

When Cang Shuhang heard the three words Pei Qinghan, he immediately woke up seven percent from his eight-point drunkenness. It turned out that he was the Pei Qinghan that the emperor and Dongfang Mu were talking about, the Marquis of Changyuanhou Mansion.

Seeing his sudden change of expression, Pei Qinghan asked with a smile, "What? Did my name scare you?"

"No, no, I'm just surprised. It turned out that the person who drank wine with me for a long time was actually a Lord Marquis." His back was soaked, and he tried to recall what he had just said, but he couldn't remember. Mention something you shouldn't?

Pei Qinghan smiled and asked: "You said just now that you entered the palace to see the emperor today? Did the emperor mention me?"

Cang Shuhang was so frightened that he almost fell under the table. He immediately glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said, "Master Hou, let's talk in another place, it's not convenient here."

Pei Qinghan also felt that this place was very boring, if he didn't want to go back, if he didn't just want to find someone to drink with, he wouldn't stay here.
