Everyone present was stunned, looking at Qi Zizhen who was calmly at Tang Leyuan's table.

Tang Leyuan himself completely withdrew his original contempt and prejudice, and took a jar of wine to beat the table: "Master Shao Pagoda is happy, I will pay you back on this altar on behalf of everyone!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank a whole jug of wine.

Qi Zizhen raised his eyes, glanced at the young man in front of him who was slightly taller than him, turned the teacup in his hand, raised his hand and lightly touched the empty wine jar in Tang Leyuan's hand.

Then he turned around and walked back to his seat, his steps were gentle, his expression was as indifferent and indifferent as when he first came, but he was more friendly than before.

A brief confrontation ended after Qi Zizhen clinked glasses softly, and everyone who was still trembling relaxed somewhat.

After Qi Zizhen sat down, a young man sitting next to him couldn't help admiring: "Young Pagoda Master is really good at drinking, you must know that the wine that Brother Wen Yuan brought with him is one of the best spirits, we can get drunk in half a jar at most Unconscious."

Qi Zizhen nodded indifferently, and responded modestly: "Praise."

Tang Le on the opposite side was far less indifferent than him. After bearing it again and again, he still couldn't help but said happily: "Over the years, I have never seen anyone who can drink down a jar of our Tang family's drunk wine so calmly. I wonder if the young pagoda master is interested in competing with me, who has a better drinking capacity?"

Tang Leyuan was so disdainful when he first met, but now he is so excited, as if he wanted to drag Qi Zizhen to drink three big altars on the spot.

"Ayuan, don't mess around." Lu Yuanbai reprimanded him in a low voice helplessly.

However, this time Tang Leyuan didn't intend to sell him any more face, and stared at Qi Zizhen with burning eyes.

Like a big excited dog.Qi Zizhen commented from the bottom of his heart, did not respond to Tang Leyuan's request, and replied: "Excessive drinking in the morning is not good for your health."

"So it's fine as long as it's not in the morning, right?" Tang Leyuan became even more excited immediately, "Then it's settled!"

Qi Zizhen: "..."

He understood that this young general who became famous in World War I and died young was, after all, a kid who was addicted to alcohol and liked to drag others to drink with him.

In order to prevent this hairy kid from taking this seriously, Qi Zizhen took the initiative to back down a step: "At most one jar, I can't drink any more today."

Tang Leyuan tried to struggle: "Why? Are you afraid to compare with me?"

Provocative methods are always useless to Qi Zizhen, he leisurely picked up his teacup and took a sip, as if he didn't hear what he was saying at all.

Then he saw Tang Leyuan's head drooping suddenly, very disappointed and reluctantly said: "Okay then, just one jar at a time."

The tone was so pitiful, so pitiful that Lu Yuanbai felt ashamed of him. He sighed and said to Qi Zizhen again: "I'm really sorry, General A Yuan came from a family that was fond of wine since childhood, and because of his young age, we were often spoiled by us. It's too childish, causing trouble for the young pagoda master."

"It doesn't matter." Qi Zizhen still didn't care much, "The Zuiqiongniang brought by Mr. Tang is indeed a rare and good wine, I guess I got a little bit of a bargain."

After some simple politeness, Tang Leyuan changed places with the young man next to Qi Zizhen, sat down carelessly next to Qi Zizhen, and pushed him a jar of wine.

For the convenience of carrying, the wine jar used by Zui Qiong Niang is not very big, it is just as wide as two hands can hold, and the height is no more than one palm. Such a volume is really not too big for Qi Zizhen.

He took the wine jar, raised it to Tang Leyuan as a signal, then lifted the lid, poured out a cup into a teacup, as if he was going to drink it slowly.

Tang Leyuan was even more disappointed, but soon cheered up, and pulled Qi Zizhen to start chatting.

On the other side, Lu Yuanbai also re-announced the start of the banquet. Seeing that Qi Zizhen and Tang Leyuan had a happy conversation and didn't look like they were going to quarrel, they finally relaxed a bit and proceeded according to the original banquet plan.

In the middle of the journey, some people used the morning scene to recite poems, and some people dared to ask Qi Zizhen to judge.

Qi Zizhen still liked this kind of elegant activity very much. After responding, holding a teacup, he pointed out a few poems that he thought were good and simply praised them. The atmosphere of the banquet was once very harmonious.

When the banquet was halfway through, basically Qi Zizhen could get along with the rest of the people either sincerely or pretendingly.Because his age was only older than Tang Leyuan compared with the people present, everyone called him from "Young Pagoda Master" to "Zizhen" or "Qi Gongzi".

Among them, Tang Leyuan, who made the fastest progress in the relationship, was pulling him to drink.

"Hey, Aqi, were you very famous when you were young?" Tang Leyuan rested his chin on one hand and shook the half-empty wine jar with the other, with a casual tone, "I vaguely remember that my father Always mentioning you, saying how powerful you are, asking me to learn from you."

Tang Leyuan is only a few months younger than Qi Zizhen, and he is considered to be the same age as him.

Qi Zizhen put the empty wine jar on the ground, and answered casually after hearing his question: "It's not bad, just at the level of a child prodigy."

Tang Leyuan was dumbfounded, and asked again: "Then why didn't you hear anything after that?"

Qi Zizhen raised his eyes and glanced at him. Seeing his pure eyes, he guessed that he was probably not interested, so he didn't know his later situation.

He didn't answer right away, he wanted to pour himself a cup of tea first, but as soon as he picked up the teacup, Tang Leyuan, who had quick eyes and quick hands, poured another full cup of Zuiqiongniang.

Qi Zizhen: "..."

He pretended to put down the teacup naturally, and asked in a flat tone: "Have you heard the story of Shang Zhongyong?"

Tang Leyuan shook his head sincerely.

Qi Zizhen raised his hand and took a new teacup and poured it straight into the tea. He took a sip and said leisurely, "Then you should learn from me."

Then he drank his tea in silence, not looking like he wanted to go on.

Disliked for being uneducated, Tang Leyuan gulped down a few more sips of wine in depression, finally got up sensible, and ran to harass Lu Yuanbai instead.

The roots of his ears finally cleared up, Qi Zizhen looked at the empty wine jars at his feet, and felt a little headache.

This time he left the palace without telling Song Yaoxu, it would be hard to explain if he came back smelling of alcohol.

It seems that I can only sneak back and change clothes first.

Qi Zizhen sighed lightly, guessing that it was almost time, he got up to say goodbye to Lu Yuanbai.

Just at this moment, he felt a drop of coldness suddenly fall on his cheek, followed by another drop, two drops.

It's raining.

Qi Zizhen looked up at the pattering rain in front of him, and everyone at the banquet stopped their original movements.

"Aqi!" Tang Leyuan, who had been running to harass others, trotted back, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, "It rained so suddenly that you shouldn't have brought an umbrella. Shall I take you to the gate of the palace? It rains a lot in spring, and most of us will Bring an umbrella, you should be inexperienced when you come here for the first time."

Hearing Tang Leyuan's words, Qi Zizhen looked around, and sure enough, most of the other people took out oil-paper umbrellas from their belongings.

It is easy to catch a cold when you go back after drinking alcohol. If you get sick because of this banquet, it is very likely to bring unnecessary trouble to Tang Leyuan and the others.

After this banquet, he roughly figured out Tang Leyuan's temperament, and he didn't intend to drag him down. Finally, he nodded and agreed with his proposal, and went to the palace with him.

On the way, Tang Leyuan kept asking him to have a drinking competition together next time, Qi Zizhen was so annoyed that he only calmed down for a while after agreeing casually.

When he was less than a hundred paces away from the palace, Qi Zizhen, who lowered his head to see if there was any puddle on the ground, heard Tang Leyuan suddenly say, "Ah Qi, there seems to be someone standing in front of you, do you know him?"

When Qi Zizhen heard the words and looked up, he saw a crescent-white figure looming in the hazy rain and fog.

——It was Song Yaoxu waiting there with an umbrella.
