Zhao Huang raised his cup to toast the prince for having taken the time to visit his restaurant which he considered the greatest honour. Wu Yange looked down at the cup on the table and his heart sank, he had always refused the Prime Minister's offer to drink using his age as an excuse whenever he visited Tebei but now he was of age and didn't know what excuse to concoct this time.
The Prime Minister like his family was unaware of his reasons for his aversion to alcohol and refusing him once more will be deemed disrespectful. His interaction with his family had been to a minimum so they also weren't aware of his preferences otherwise his father would have informed Zhao Huang that he didn't drink. He was about to request to swap for some tea instead when Rong Zian suddenly took his cup and downed both his and Wu Yange's one after the other.
