Chapter 207: Night Return
Because Zhao Kangcheng said before that he didn't have to wait for him to come back at night, Cai Xiaoxiao also knew that a large banquet like the palace banquet would definitely not end until midnight, not to mention that Zhao Kangcheng could be regarded as the protagonist of this banquet, so after Cai Xiaoxiao finished dinner, he chatted with Zheng Yi about some topics about the restaurant, and then washed up early and went to sleep.
Until the middle of the night, when she was still asleep, she faintly heard a slight movement in the yard, she opened her eyes in a daze, sat up, and while thinking about what the movement was, she took her coat and put it on her body, and then walked out of bed and walked towards the yard.
When she came to the courtyard, Cai Xiaoxiao vaguely saw a figure standing by the well by the moonlight, she wanted to ask who it was, and then thought that it was probably Zhao Kangcheng who came back, so she tentatively shouted: "Xianggong? ”
Hearing her shout, the man at the well stopped, then turned around and walked towards her, saying in a loud voice, "Woke you up?" ”
When he got closer, Cai Xiaoxiao finally saw his face clearly - sure enough, it was Zhao Kangcheng, and she also smelled the pungent smell of wine coming from him, and she almost fainted from the smoke.
Cai Xiaoxiao frowned, and first shook his head: "No." Then he approached Zhao Kangcheng's body, sniffed it, and asked, "Xianggong, how much wine have you drunk?" "This smell of alcohol is almost going to smoke her to death.
Zhao Kangcheng also knew that his body was full of alcohol now, he pushed Cai Xiaoxiao away slightly, and said, "Don't get close, it will smoke you." I don't know how much I drank. He rubbed his brow with a headache.
At the banquet, almost every minister came to toast with him, even the emperor didn't want to drink with him, if it weren't for his good drinking, I was afraid that he would have been drunk in the imperial garden like Sun Yuxuan and Wu Yihan, but after drinking so much, although his mind was still clear, he had a headache in the end.
In the past, Zhao Kangcheng would like to pester Cai Xiaoxiao after he was drunk, but at this time, he deliberately separated himself from her because he was afraid that the wine on his body would smoke her, Cai Xiaoxiao saw it, and was a little distressed, she looked at the wellhead and asked him: "Xianggong, do you want to take a bath with well water?" ”
"Well, you can't sleep with this body of alcohol." Zhao Kangcheng teased himself, and then persuaded Cai Xiaoxiao, "You go back to sleep, I'll come after taking a shower." ”
Cai Xiaoxiao shook his head, took Zhao Kangcheng's hand, and said while walking towards the kitchen: "The well water is cold, it is easy to get cold after washing, I have prepared some hot water, you can take a bath with hot water, and then I will cook you a bowl of decanting soup." ”
Zhao Kangcheng listened to her gentle and gentle words, his heart was warm, he looked at Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes overflowing with affection, and then said softly: "Okay, listen to you." ”
Because he guessed that Zhao Kangcheng would definitely get drunk, Cai Xiaoxiao prepared two pots of hot water early and boiled them with a sparkle fire, and when he opened the lid at this moment, he saw that only half a pot of hot water was left in the two pots, but together they were one pot.
Cai Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction: Fortunately, she prepared two pots.
Together with Zhao Kangcheng, the hot water was taken out of the pot and put into the bucket, and then carried to the bathroom, after which Zhao Kangcheng was ready to take a bath, Cai Xiaoxiao turned back to the kitchen and began to cook sobering soup for Zhao Kangcheng.
After taking a hot bath happily, the smell of alcohol on Zhao Kangcheng's body also dissipated a lot, and he walked towards the kitchen while wiping his wet hair. It happened that Cai Xiaoxiao had also cooked the decanting soup and was putting it in the bowl, when she saw Zhao Kangcheng coming, she handed him the decanting soup, and then took the towel in his hand, wiping his hair while urging him to drink the decanting soup.
After Zhao Kangcheng obediently drank the decanting soup, he said to Cai Xiaoxiao: "I'll be fine tomorrow, let's go with you to see the house." "After today's banquet, the emperor will pardon the officials for a holiday tomorrow, and Zhao Kangcheng and the three of them can directly prepare to return to their hometown to visit relatives.
"Okay." Cai Xiaoxiao replied softly.
After wiping and drying their hair, the two returned to the room, Zhao Kangcheng hugged and lay down, Xu really drank too much wine today, so that he didn't have the energy to entangle Cai Xiaoxiao anymore, as soon as he lay down, he hugged Cai Xiaoxiao and fell asleep.
The next day, Zhao Kangcheng got up late, originally Cai Xiaoxiao was going to go over early in the morning to see the house first, and then go to the restaurant to discuss how to renovate, but because they agreed with Zhao Kangcheng last night, Cai Xiaoxiao and Zheng Yi said, and the two broke the initial plan and decided to wait for Zhao Kangcheng to get up and then go together-
Anyway, there is time after that, and they are not in a hurry.
When Zhao Kangcheng got up, his head still hurt a little, he looked sideways at the window, saw that the sky outside the window was already bright, and guessed that he was already late, he estimated that Cai Xiaoxiao had already gone out, and he didn't care much.
When he slowly lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, he saw a bowl of sobering tea at the head of the bed, which should have been prepared by Cai Xiaoxiao who was worried that Zhao Kangcheng would have a headache when he got up.
Zhao Kangcheng hooked his lips and smiled lightly, picked up the sobering tea and drank it, then took out the clothes he was going to wear today, and walked towards the courtyard while tidying himself up, only to see Cai Xiaoxiao and Zheng Yi sitting in the courtyard chatting.
Because Cai Xiaoxiao's back was facing Zhao Kangcheng, and Zheng Yi was facing Zhao Kangcheng, he saw him for the first time, beckoned to him, and shouted, "Brother, you can be regarded as up." ”
Cai Xiaoxiao turned around, saw him, quickly stood up, walked towards him, and asked with concern: "Xianggong, how is it, do you feel a headache or anything uncomfortable?" ”
Zhao Kangcheng shook his head at her and smiled: "No, it's much better." But didn't you say that you were going to see the house today? Why are you still here? ”
"I asked this, so I was naturally waiting for you." Cai Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say last night that you were going to go with us to see the house today." ”
"I'm up late." Zhao Kangcheng said.
"What's that, anyway, there's plenty of time, and it doesn't make a difference if you go early or late...... Don't say much, Xianggong, go wash up, I'll make you breakfast. Cai Xiaoxiao waved at Zhao Kangcheng, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
Zhao Kangcheng saw it, smiled, and then walked to the well and began to wash.
Zheng Yi walked over, squatted beside Zhao Kangcheng, and asked, "Brother, I heard my sister-in-law say that you drank a lot last night?" ”
Zhao Kangcheng glanced at him, a little puzzled what he wanted to do: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I just care about you, ask." Zheng Yi waved his hand and said, after a pause, he suddenly asked again, "Brother, did the emperor say that he would marry you to the princess or something?" ”
Zhao Kangcheng was about to wash his hands for a while, he looked at Zheng Yi and said coldly: "Read less scripts." ”
