It was the first time that Zhou Leping visited the imperial court after his injury and met her in the main hall. Naturally, Lin Jing did not have a good impression of her, but at least it was alright.

She had originally wanted to ask Lin Shan how his leg was doing, but seeing how Lin Jing was looking at her with such hatred, she could not say more.

In the past few days, she was sick and the military newspapers that were placed around the border had all been handled by Qi Si. Last night, she had organized all the military newspapers that were delayed by her bar, so there was nothing urgent.

However, Qi Kingdom, which always had nothing to do with them, had been acting continuously recently. The two nations had always been in harmony with each other, and yet, they had moved during the selection process.

Zhao Shiqian was not worried about him, he felt that he did not need to care too much about it.

Today's court meeting had been going on for a long time, and she had just recovered from her long illness. The longer she stood there, the more uncomfortable she felt. The emperor frequently looked at her and saw that her face was pale. He raised his hand to stop the chattering crowd, "Zhen is tired. Let's stop here for today, we'll discuss this another day."

The officials had no choice but to give up and wait for the emperor to leave before gradually dispersing.

Zhao Deng set up a banquet at Tai Qing House to give Zhou Leping a bite on his shoulder. Zhou Leping happily agreed to attend the banquet, but before that, she had to go and thank the emperor first.

Zhao Shiqian had been waiting for her for a long time now, and seeing that she was thinner than a month ago, he could not help but sigh, "You've suffered a lot this month."

She patted his shoulder, "This subject has already recovered. It's all thanks to the emperor's care. These past few days, he had someone send me tonics every day. Dr Zhu said that this subject is even healthier than before."

"It's good that you're fine. I haven't been able to relax my mind for the past month."

"I've let the emperor worry about me, I'm afraid."

"Enough, don't be scared." Zhao Shiqian stood up, flicking his sleeves, "It's already noon, don't go. Stay here and eat with me."

Zhou Leping hesitated for a moment, "Your majesty's heart, this subject does not dare to disobey, it's just that … This subject has already accepted Prince Rui's invitation, it would really be hard to reject. "

Zhao Shiqian squinted his eyes and didn't say anything for a while. Then he smiled and said, "Ever since you came back, Seventh Brother's pace of walking with you has gotten closer and closer."

"Your Highness cares for this official, this subject will be forever grateful."

"Since we agreed to it before, let's go." He waved his hand and generously let her go. "In the future, if you have nothing better to do, come to the palace. Le An can't go out. As your elder sister, you can often come to the palace to see her."

Zhou Leping did not ponder too deeply into the meaning behind his words.

Zhao Shiqian watched as she left in a daze, he was startled for a moment, then suddenly became restless. The tea that he had just brewed did not smell good anymore, he picked up the cup and put it down, then picked it up and put it down again, finally raising it down, an exquisite jade cup instantly breaking into pieces.

He Shibi quickly ordered some people to clean up, and gave him another handkerchief, "Your majesty …"

"I'm fine."

Zhao Deng's carriage was waiting for her at the entrance of the palace. When she came out, he waved at her from afar, "Why are you taking so long?"

"To the emperor to express his gratitude. Your highness has been waiting for me here?"

"Of course not. The sun is about to scorch me to death. How about it?" Are you moved? "

"This humble subject is so touched that I am about to cry."

"Scram, don't disgust me. Let's go first, the Dr Zhu should be arriving soon."

Zhou Leping frowned, "Why is he also going?"

She still had a pinch from the previous incident. The way Qi Miao looked at her from that time onwards had completely changed, as if she was the one who had ruined Zhu Guanliang's life.

She didn't want to explain it to him, but she didn't want to explain it to him anymore.

Zhao Deng followed after her and said to the carriage, "It's been about a month since Zhu Guanliang prescribed the medicine for me. I have really improved a lot, recently I clearly felt that I … "He's much more amazing than before. In any case, this is still an invitation. I'll be the host, but you have to offer me your wealth."

"Why would I want to present myself as a Buddha?"

"Since Zhu Guanliang saved you, can't you thank him?"

"How can I thank you? Do I have to treat you to a meal?"

"To put it bluntly, life is for four things, to eat, drink, and have fun. To be ranked first in terms of food, who doesn't want to live for food? Eating may seem ordinary, but it's the best way to express your feelings. "

He was an expert in this aspect, Zhou Leping would never be able to beat him. Since he was already here, it wouldn't be good for him to kick him out in the middle of the fight.

He did not expect that Zhu Guanliang would arrive earlier than them. By the time Zhou Leping and Zhao Deng reached the second floor, Zhu Guanliang had already finished half of his tea.

She saw that Zhu Guanliang was still completely uncomfortable. At a round table, no matter how he sat, he would sit next to her.

He ordered a jar of Drunken Linglong, four or five types of hot dishes, two or three types of cold dishes, and a bowl of Pig Bone Soup.

"Today's feast at the Supreme Purity Pavilion was specifically set up to thank the Dr Zhu. One day, I will ask someone to make a sign and send it over to you. The one Hua Tuo is talking about is you."

Zhu Guanliang stood up, "Your highness is being too polite, this is what I should do."

Zhou Leping was immediately filled with resentment. Didn't they say that he was going to let her bite into something? So she was just a foil?

"Of course, it's also to let Zi Xi take a bite at his mouth while we're at it."

Well, by the way, I knew I wouldn't.

Zhu Guanliang raised his wine cup and looked at Zhou Leping respectfully, "General..."

She clinked glasses with him, and her pride ran out.

The meal made her uncomfortable, but luckily, Zhao Deng was the only one to ease the atmosphere. At first, the table was cold, but after two or three cups of yellow wine, she slowly relaxed.

The one restricted was not only Zhou Leping, he was also a person who went crazy from seeing alcohol, which was of course not him.

Zhou Leping had drank with Zhu Guanliang before, but that time, she had too much to drink, and was sent back in the end.

She had always prided herself on not getting drunk, and it was only that one time that she lost so much face.

Zhu Guanliang did not know how much he drank, but when he drank, he could not tell that he was drunk, so his face was rather red.

"Those who drink wine to their faces, their alcohol tolerance is not bad. Dr Zhu, you can't tell, but you still haven't drunk a thousand glasses."

Zhu Guanliang held onto the wine cup, his expression a little blurry, "I don't drink much, and I'm quite restrained when drinking, but I've indeed never been drunk before."

Zhou Leping's fighting spirit was aroused by these words. She slapped the table and stood up proudly, "Living for so many years and not getting drunk is just too ridiculous. Today, this general will let you have a taste of being drunk!"
