The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1784 Things as You Please

When the army returned in triumph, the couple were completely drunk; anyone who didn't know better would think their family had produced a general!

Shang Xi fell back onto the bed and said softly, "I can't call for servants, I'm even more dizzy than you!"

At this moment, Cheng Feng got the help of Da Yan. He heard a soft voice outside the door: "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you awake?"

Upon hearing that it was Big Eyes, Cheng Feng quickly called out, "Big Eyes, come in!"

Big Eyes pushed the door open with his elbow, then squeezed into the room sideways, carrying a vermilion lacquered tray with a large soup bowl on it and two sets of bowls and spoons beside it. He grinned as he entered the room, as if he were carrying some kind of treasure. "Your Highness, Your Highness, I had the kitchen prepare some hangover soup for you. It's perfect to drink it now."

Big Eyes' voice was cheerful when he called out to people; the fact that the prince needed him proved his worth.

Cheng Feng said, "You've come at the perfect time! The princess and I are both drunk! We've been waiting for this hangover soup!"

Upon hearing this, Da Yan's face lit up with a smile. Of all the people in the manor, only he had brought the hangover soup to the prince and princess. The more he thought about it, the more confident he felt in his abilities. He worked with exceptional speed and efficiency, and in the blink of an eye, the soup was at the bedside.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, shall I serve you some hangover soup?"

It wasn't that Big Eyes was deliberately trying to curry favor; it was just that even after his soup was brought to them, the prince and princess were still lying motionless on the bed, both with their right arms neatly placed on their foreheads, looking extremely dizzy and lightheaded.

Shang Xi didn't want to move, and Cheng Feng was too lazy to move, but without drinking the hangover soup, they wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep.

Cheng Feng instructed Da Yan, "Help the princess up and make sure she drinks the hangover soup first!"

Da Yan did exactly what Cheng Feng said, and by this time she had already helped Shang Xi up. "Your Highness, your face is so red! Should we go to the Imperial Hospital and ask a physician to take a look at you?"

Shang Xi smiled and said, "Tonight, many ministers are drunk. At this time, the imperial physicians are probably very busy! Besides, if someone is drunk, the imperial physicians will just prescribe some medicine to relieve the hangover."

Cheng Feng got up. "At this rate, so many people would pass out. I reckon they're still drinking right now!"

"The banquet ended a long time ago! Who's he going to drink with now?"

"Those guys! I haven't seen him this happy in two years. It's true that his trusted confidants have returned! By the way, honey, that Suixin asked about you today!"

"Asking about me? I saw him on the street today, riding a tall horse, looking very imposing. Apart from being a bit darker and stronger than before, he hasn't changed much! Come to think of it, why is he asking about me? I guess it's just out of politeness!"

Cheng Feng took the hangover soup that Da Yan handed him and slowly drank it. "Oh dear, I'm really drunk today. I can't remember a single word he said. It seems like you promised him something, something important!"

Shang Xi's mind wasn't working properly at this moment. She thought about it carefully and said, "Impossible. The last time we met was at the military camp. The grain was destroyed by insects, and I went to deliver food to everyone. You went to the military camp before me. You haven't forgotten, have you? It's been three years since I last saw Sui Xin! How could I possibly agree to anything for him? You must be drunk!"

Cheng Feng was still somewhat confident in his remaining memories: "I seem to remember him saying that you promised him something, or something important!"

Shang Xi said firmly, "Impossible. You must have overheard me. If I promise someone something, I will definitely do it! It's impossible for me to have dragged it out until now. Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't keep their promises?"

If Shang Xi isn't the kind of person who gets things done, then there aren't many people in this world who are!

Cheng Feng handed the empty bowl to Da Yan, saying, "You'll know next time we meet. We'll host a banquet for them in the next few days to welcome them back."

"Inviting you to dinner is of course a must, but with the New Year just around the corner, I wonder if the two generals would do me the honor of joining us!"

Shang Xi's concern was almost unnecessary. Even if she didn't invite the two generals, they would still come to her. In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Sui Xin was discussing this matter!

"Your Majesty, summon Princess Consort Pang to the palace tomorrow!"

Wan Lianxing smiled as his eyes darted back and forth between the people in the room. He pointed to each of them, saying, "Following Fate, Following the Follower, Following the Shadow, Following the Path, Following the Heart, only missing that brat, Sui Dan."

Sui Xin clicked her tongue. "Your Majesty, I'm talking to you about serious matters! Why are you bringing up Sui Dan again?" Sui Xin stretched out her hands and pointed to herself. "Sui Ming and I just got back. Shouldn't you be focusing your attention and energy on us? You just said that Sui Ming and I were your right arms, but now you've abandoned them?"

Wan Lianxing smiled, pursing his lips, "I'm getting old. When I can't see someone, I miss them!"

Sui Xin's eyes were filled with disbelief. "Your Majesty, you're old? Your skin is so delicate, you're like a young woman, while we're all dark and old! Besides, didn't Your Majesty send your attendants to visit Sui Dan in the Tu Mi tribe? It hasn't been that long, and you're already missing him again? I even ate the crab roe that your attendants brought for Sui Dan! You still miss him?"

Wan Lianxing immediately sensed something was wrong. "You only brought one jar of crab roe, how did you manage to get some?"

Sui Xin said casually, "Not only did I get to eat some, but Sui Ming did too, and Sui Ming even said it was delicious! We ate the whole little jar in one meal!"

Wan Lianxing looked at his attendant: "Did you take a few jars of crab roe with you when you left?"

The attendant opened his clear black and white eyes and said truthfully, "One jar. It's inconvenient for me to carry too much stuff on such a long journey!"

"So, that kid Sui Dan didn't get to eat the crab roe?"

The attendant snorted, "He's living a very comfortable life. In his tribe, he's the boss. I'd rather throw away that crab roe than let him eat it!"

Wan Lianxing pointed at his attendants, "You, you! Sui Dan specifically asked for crabs, and if you didn't bring the crabs, you should at least have brought him a jar of crab roe! How did Sui Xin and Sui Ming end up eating the crab roe!"

Upon hearing this, Sui Xin immediately started arguing with Wan Lianxing, "Your Majesty, are you completely biased? Sui Ming and I are fighting on the front lines, and instead of bringing us crab roe, you're thinking about that idle Sui Dan. Does he even deserve to eat crab roe?"

Wan Lianxing knew, of course, that the hardest years had been for Sui Xin and Sui Ming, but these few people of the Sui generation were all extraordinary individuals. "What are you comparing yourselves to him for? He's the youngest of you, and the least bright. I made him eat crab roe to help improve his brain. Besides, he said in his letter that he wanted to eat crabs. How could I not grant him such a small request!"
