Chapitre 39: Chapter 39 : First night

The banquet and celebration went on until late at night. It was a rare occasion so people tend to enjoy it a little longer. However, the emperor and the empress have excused themselves and letting others to continue.

Zhang Wei feels a little bit tipsy. He has rejected the toast from those ministers but still, some of them insisted and Zhang Wei can't back down showing his weak side. He gulps down every drop. Thus, causing his condition now.

He's not fully drunk but not fully sober. Xiu Ying has to support him walking to their bedchamber. A few times they almost stumble on the ground. Xiu Ying barely can hold Zhang Wei's weight.

Before entering the bedchamber, Xiu Ying asks Jing Yi to fetch a glass of warm water.

Xiu Ying lays Zhang Wei down on the bed slowly. In just a minute, Jing Yi returns with the water. "Alright. Thank you, Jing Yi. You may retreat to your room. I'm sure the General is waiting for you there." Jing Yi blushed. He quickly leaves the imperial couple alone.
