Chapter 10 Drunkenness
Night fell quickly, and Song Qing'an's heart beat faster as he watched the darkening sky outside the window.

It was also Zhuyan's luck that he ran into He Nian on the road earlier, and learned about Pei Qing from him.

He is free tonight, and He Nian also promised to talk about it with Pei Qing.

The bead curtain rang softly, it was bamboo smoke entering the inner hall.She walked lightly, holding a packed food box in her hand.

"Princess, everything has been dealt with, you can go."

I don't know what excuse Zhuyan used to send those palace people out, Song Qing'an was still in a daze until Liu Quan led him into Ningshui Garden.

None of the expected thrills happened, and everything went smoothly beyond ordinary.

Thinking about it, most of this was due to Pei Qing's contribution, Zhu Yan could not speak well among the palace people sent by Liu Qiyun, and even the sedan chair that came to pick up Song Qing'an was also sent by Pei Qing.

Song Qing'an lowered his head to look at the food box in his hand, and his anxious heart suddenly settled down.

Maybe...it's not as scary as she thought.

She has come to this point, what is she afraid of?

The light in front of her eyes was approaching, Song Qingan raised her head, Liu Quan walked a few steps ahead of her, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"My lord, Princess Zhaoding has arrived."

"Enter."

Liu Quan pushed open the door in response, and Song Qing'an glanced around and saw Pei Qing behind the table.

This place should be Pei Qing's study room. There is a red sandalwood table in the center, and the bookcase is folded and stacked. Behind it is a bookshelf, which almost takes up the entire wall.There are incense burners and candles on each side, which are as bright as day even at night.

Pei Qing was writing something, at this moment he was dressed more casually, and when he was writing with downcast eyes, he looked like a noble young man.

Song Qing'an quickly looked away, lowered his head obediently and stepped in, Liu Quan thoughtfully closed the door behind him.It was warm in the room but there was no charcoal basin, presumably... an earth dragon was set up.

Song Qing'an secretly calculated that the red sandalwood is also a royal product, and Pei Qing's here is really not much different from the emperor's standard.

"What is the princess standing there for?" Pei Qing raised her eyelids, and broke the image of a noble young man with a single mouth, "I almost forgot. Our family should congratulate the princess for being named, it's... Princess Zhaoding."

Song Qing'an naturally heard that Pei Qing was mocking her, but she was fully prepared for this before she came.So she just pretended not to know, and thanked with a smile: "Thank you for the palm print."

She walked slowly towards the desk, opened the food box, took out the contents and put them on the desk one by one.

"I got a jug of good wine, so I wanted to taste it with Pei's palm print."

Pei Qing glanced at the jade pot on the table, the wine hadn't been poured yet, but the rich aroma was already wafting.It should be old wine, it is indeed a good wine.

"How did the princess get it? The imperial concubine...shouldn't be rewarding such things?"

"Of course not," Song Qing'an pursed her lips and smiled slightly, she said while pouring wine, "This is left by my mother."

Pei Qing raised her eyebrows, Concubine Shu's belongings were related to the Lu family.She was quite courageous and dared to hand him the handle.

"My mother told me that this is an old custom of the Lu family. This wine can only be opened on the day my daughter gets married."

While speaking, Song Qing'an had already filled the wine cup.She put down the jade pot and handed it to Pei Qing.

"Your Majesty bestowed the title today, and I was afraid that the appointment date would be approaching, so I thought..."

Pei Qing reached out her hand, but did not immediately take the wine cup, and the two fingertips overlapped.Song Qing'an didn't continue, but kept silent.

Her face was calm, but her heart was beating fast.She looked at Pei Qing's hand, the knuckles were slender and pale, the wrist bones were thin, and the neat lines stretched up and disappeared into the sleeves.

She stared at the hand, hoping it would take it quickly.

"Thanks to the princess' wrong love, our family is really flattered."

Pei Qing said so, but she didn't look "shocked" in the slightest, and took the wine cup very calmly.Seeing this, Song Qing felt relieved.

"I offer a respectful palm seal." Song Qing'an raised his sleeves to cover his face, and drank the wine in the glass.The strong wine made her dizzy for a moment, Song Qingan tipped the wine cup slightly, and showed Pei Qing the empty bottom of the cup.

Pei Qing lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, but did not move.He just sniffed the fragrance and sighed in his heart.

The Lu family's aging wine is well-deserved.

Song Qing'an picked up the jade pot again, but slowly approached Pei Qing's side.She lightly touched Pei Qing's shoulder while refilling herself with wine.

The wine cups made a crisp and clear sound when they were touched lightly. Song Qingan leaned slightly and clinked glasses with Pei Qing.

"This cup, thank you for saving me with the palm print."

After speaking, Song Qing'an drank the wine in the glass again.

Pei Qing still didn't move, Song Qingan didn't care, and poured himself a third cup.

"This cup..." Song Qing'an put the jade pot on the table, and slowly pressed it into Pei Qing's arms. With some movements, the wine spilled slightly, soaking a small piece of clothes, "...Thank you for your handprint Feelings."

Pei Qing's hand holding the cup was right in front of her eyes, Song Qing'an smiled and clinked glasses with him.Then, like the previous two times, she drank it neatly in one gulp.

After three glasses of wine, her eyes were blurred, and her face was flushed, as if stained with peach blossom juice.The wine moistened the lips, and under the candlelight, the vermilion lips appeared a little crystal clear.

The aroma of the wine was mixed with the fragrance of Yuelin on Song Qingan's body, and she was more intoxicating than old wine.

Pei Qing wrapped her arms around Song Qingan's shoulders, she was limp, and he suspected that Song Qingan would slide down as long as he let go.

He looked down at Song Qing'an's face, and finally raised his hand and drank the wine.

"Then our family, thank the princess for showing her love."

Seeing that Pei Qing finally drank, Song Qing'an was completely relieved.She was a little drunk, so she was more outgoing.

Pei Qing saw the person in her arms suddenly showing a smile, like the clouds piercing the moon, and the eyes looking at him were even more affectionate, as if she was really happy.

"Is Pei Zhangyin happy?"

Song Qing'an asked softly, and before Pei Qing could answer, her long eyelashes drooped, somewhat charming and shy: "If Pei's palm print is happy, I will be happy."

She felt the hand tightening around her shoulders, and a triumphant smile flashed across her lowered eyes.

"The princess is drunk."

Pei Qing's eyes were dark, and she couldn't see any emotion.Song Qingan's hand then climbed up and hooked his neck.

"Really?" Song Qing'an leaned over, his cheeks were very close to Pei Qing's, almost rubbing against each other.

"It doesn't matter if you're drunk or awake, as long as it's up to me."

The eyelashes like crow feathers seemed to be able to reach Pei Qing, Song Qingan murmured, and kissed him lightly on the corner of his lips.

Her head was already dizzy and she couldn't hold on any longer.Song Qing'an closed her eyes at the right time, and leaned against Pei Qing's arms to relax.

When she was still conscious, she vaguely heard what Pei Qing said.

"...A Snow Feast."
-
When Song Qing'an woke up again, he had already returned to the bedroom of Changning Palace.She had changed all the clothes on her body, she was quite tired and lazy, even though she woke up, she didn't want to get up.

But Zhuyan heard the movement, came over and lifted the curtain.

"Yesterday I..."

"Master Palm Print sent the princess back." Zhu Yan fetched water for Song Qing'an to rinse his mouth, and continued, "Princess can't be like this in the future, servant girl, the princess was very drunk yesterday."

Song Qingan sneered, her alcohol capacity was indeed not very good, she poured only three glasses.But it was unexpected that Pei Qing sent her back.

She originally thought that if she really wanted to spend the night there, it would be fine.

Song Qingan responded to the bamboo smoke indiscriminately, rinsed his mouth and lay back down.But Zhu Yan supported her back of the neck, and said involuntarily: "Princess, don't sleep, people from the needlework bureau will be here soon."

Song Qing'an vaguely recalled that some time ago, the needlework bureau came and said that she would cut clothes for her...

She frowned and reluctantly got out of bed.
