410 - one thousand and a half million
"Why are you stunned, let me pick it for you myself? Okay, wait, I'll take it off for you. โ
As she spoke, the empress put down the flask and got up to pick up the handkerchief on Wang Xiaolai's glasses.
It's just that she was obviously drinking high, and before she stood up, she felt dizzy and unsteady on her feet, plopped, and lay down again.
Seeing this, Narcissus hurriedly went up to help, and asked in a panic, Your Majesty, are you okay?
Wang Xiaolai was also anxious when he heard this, and he raised his hand and tore off his handkerchief to step forward.
When Narcissus saw it, he glared fiercely: "Let you pick it, you can't find death!" โ
In a word, Wang Xiaolai was frightened, and he stood in place and didn't dare to step forward.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's my order anyway. Don't blame him. The empress said drunkly.
Narcissus hesitated when he heard this: "But Your Majesty, we are in Shou'an Palace, your dormitory." โ
The empress sighed, turned over and sat up: "What's wrong with my bedroom?" Little Laizi, come here, sit here. โ
The empress patted her side and said.
It can be seen that the empress really drank too much, otherwise, how could she have such a gaffe.
Under the gaze of Narcissus, Wang Xiaolai sat next to the empress in fright, and before he could speak, he rushed to his nose with a smell of wine, which made Wang Xiaolai frown: "I'll go, how much have you drunk, Your Majesty?" โ
The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai innocently and said with a smile: "Why, you don't like me to drink?" That's right, after all, it's still rare for women to drink, that is, Fengyue girls don't leave their bodies all day long. โ
This era is far from the era in which Wang Xiaolai lived, and it is still relatively backward in all aspects of thought, so it is no wonder that the empress would say this.
For the empress's gaffe, Narcissus was a little embarrassed: "That Your Majesty, you drank too much." โ
The empress waved her hand, a little impatient: "Narcissus, you go outside and wait first, and then you come in when I call you." โ
Narcissus said that this began to drive people away.
But what the empress said, Narcissus didn't dare to stop, so she could only answer yes with her fists and turn around.
After she left, the empress reached out and grabbed Wang Xiaolai's arm, burped and said, "Little Laizi, if you don't like me to drink, I won't drink in the future, how about it?" โ
Looking at the drunken and hazy empress, Wang Xiaolai couldn't cry or laugh, what is this.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that, I was just curious about what was going on with you today, why did you remember to drink."
The empress grinned and said, "Do you still need a reason for drinking?" โ
Wang Xiaolai said: "Of course, you can't invite Yuankong Zen Master because of the banquet, besides, the people are gone now, and you are still drinking here, if you want to say that there is no reason, the ghost will believe it." โ
The empress was happy when she heard it, and handed the wine jug in her hand to Wang Xiaolai.
Wang Xiaolai took it and put it on the table.
"Want to know?" The empress pretended to be mysterious.
Wang Xiaolai nodded.
The empress smirked: "This afternoon, I received an excerpt from Duke Lu. โ
"Hou Ye Lu, there is any new news?"
The empress nodded: "Well, Lu Gong said that Yongliang Erzhou has been successfully recovered, and there are only a few hundred of the 130,000 elites in Nurhari's department who have fled to the west, and the rest of them will either be beheaded or captured, and they can return to the court on the same day." Tell me, how am I upset? Isn't it time to have a few drinks? โ
Wang Xiaolai glanced at the appearance of the empress, and said in his heart, "Are you in a state of drinking a few glasses?"
"It's not Your Majesty, even if Marquis Lu wins the battle, you won't drink like this." Wang Xiaolai was puzzled.
really let Wang Xiaolai say it right, the empress drank wine, not all because of this relationship.
Of course, it's not because of Wang Xiaolai.
What's more important is that since the start of the war on the third front, during the period from Lu Gongyou's recovery of Yongliang, the pressure on the empress has been too great, so that just these days of hard work make the empress feel that she can't hold on.
If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have gone crazy a long time ago and picked a pick.
But the empress is the son of heaven, so she has to endure what ordinary people can't bear, and no one knows how much pressure the empress has endured these days.
The reason why the Yuankong monk came to Daxing City to set up a water and land dojo was that in addition to appeasing the hundreds of thousands of people in Daxing City, it was more important to let the Yuankong monk calm his uneasy heart.
The empress never told anyone, including Wang Xiaolai.
Now, it's easy to look forward to Lu Gongyou's victory, let me ask you, what would you do?
When the huge pressure is finally released, it is natural to choose to celebrate with a carnival.
Because of her identity, the empress has to maintain a posture of being high in front of everyone and having everything in her hands, so she can only use alcohol to celebrate this hard-won success after receiving the news.
Not to mention the threat of the grassland and Zhao Sui, this is not Lu Gongyou has already freed up his hands to eliminate Zhao Sui and repel the grassland, isn't that still a matter of imminence?
Let Zhao Sui be arrogant for a month, and it's time to clean him up.
The mood of the empress can be said to be from now on, from depression to unrestrained.
Wang Xiaolai asked the empress to sit firmly, and then put away the wine jug and everything, and at the same time said: "Your Majesty, if you want to drink next time, just tell me, I will drink with you." โ
The empress opened her eyes and looked at Wang Xiaolai: "What, don't you hate me drinking?" โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed: "What's so annoying about this, when I graduated, the female classmates in the class drank more than I could." โ
When the empress heard this, she was surprised and said, "Why, Xiao Laizi, the school in your family still allows girls to go to school?" โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed, and then nodded: "Don't talk about women, it's an old man or an old lady in his seventies or eighties, as long as he wants, he can go to school." โ
"Come, come, tell me about it." Empress Dao.
Wang Xiaolai leaned on the side of the bed, and before he could speak, the empress pouted dissatisfiedly: "Sit beside me." โ
Wang Xiaolai: "ยทยทยท"
As soon as she sat down, the empress couldn't wait to grab Wang Xiaolai: "You have never talked to me about your hometown, it's rare to have time today, let me listen." โ
Wang Xiaolai was pulled by the empress, but he felt that it was a little too close, so he moved out without leaving a trace: "Actually, there is nothing to talk about, it is similar to the situation in Sui Yang, the children go to school, the adults work, and the elderly are at home." โ
"Child, child going to school?"
Wang Xiaolai sighed: "What's wrong, Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" โ
"In your hometown, as long as you have children, you can go to school? The same is true for ordinary people? โ
Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Ah, it's all right, as long as it's a child, you can go to school, what's wrong?" โ
The empress shook her head: "No, no, the situation in Sui Yang is that only some scholars can enter the school, or after the merchants, the children of ordinary people's families are all helping the family do farm work, and few can enter the school." โ
"Therefore, the cultural popularization rate of Suiyang is a little too low, not to mention far away, only 100,000 students participated in this year's Enke Ceremony, and this is still most of the readers in Suiyang. When I talk about it now, I feel a little shabby. โ
was so ridiculed by Wang Xiaolai, the empress's face turned red.
"What's wrong with 100,000, 100,000 is not a lot? When Brother I was in power, there were only 70,000 or 80,000 students in the entire Sui Yang, and I had only been on the throne for three years, and there were 100,000, which was enough. โ
Wang Xiaolai laughed, and a sense of pride rose again in his heart: "Your Majesty, do you know how many students are rushing to take the exam in my hometown?" โ
The empress shook her head dumbly: "Two hundred thousand? โ
Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Let me tell you this, when the number of college entrance examination students in my hometown was the largest, it was 10.5 million. โ
In a word, a thunderbolt flashed in the empress's mind, and she was stunned at the time, and then murmured: "The entire Sui Yang is only more than 40 million people. โ
Wang Xiaolai seemed to be afraid that the blow to the empress would not be enough: "That's it, I haven't counted the countless students who are studying." โ
The empress grabbed Wang Xiaolai as soon as she could: "Where is your hometown, seriously, I really want to go and see it now." โ
The empress's words made Wang Xiaolai's mood dim, and he shook his head to himself: "Your Majesty, I won't tell you, I also want to go back to my hometown to have a look, but I can't go back." โ
The empress was puzzled.
Wang Xiaolai didn't have the heart to continue talking on this issue, but said: "Your Majesty, the topic is far away, just now you said that you drank these wines because of Marquis Lu's victory, I thought about it, this is indeed a happy event worth celebrating, come, I will accompany you to drink two more glasses." โ
