Shang Yu rarely drinks alcohol, just because alcohol can interfere with things. In the past, he delayed important things just because of drinking.
That's what made Xiaoji spend so many years like that, so until now, he has never touched alcohol again.
Therefore, facing the warm hospitality of the people of Rilun City, Shang Yu only frowned and held the wine cup in his hand in embarrassment, and did not drink for a long time.
When Shang Yu quit drinking because of Xiao Ji, only Xiao Ji knew the reason. Therefore, when Xiao Ji turned around and saw Shang Yu holding the wine cup, he had not drank for a long time, only showing his solemn and entangled expression.
When I saw the embarrassed expression, I suddenly understood what he was thinking.
What happened back then has been a long time ago, but in Shang Yu's heart, it can't be erased for a long time. Xiao Ji sighed.
When she recalls what she and Shang Yu encountered back then, she can't help but feel heartache. However, what happened back then has been too long ago. Now, she and Shang Yu are on good terms again, and there is no need to dwell on those years.
Things take too long.
"Drink, let the past go with the wind."
Therefore, Xiaoji sent a message to Shang Yu in her heart. If she spoke, Shang Yu would not be so entangled. Just because he would not be entangled anymore, if he could let go of what happened back then, then for Shang Yu
For Yu, it is the best.
Xiaoji didn't want Shang Yu to blame himself too much for what happened to him back then, because what happened to him back then had more to do with him. If he hadn't been playful, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
After receiving Xiao Ji's words in his heart, Shang Yu trembled slightly. It was precisely because of Xiao Ji's words that he unconsciously filtered all the events of that year in his mind. Not only filtered them,
That kind of shame and self-blame came towards me overwhelmingly.
The pressure made Shang Yu breathless, his whole body was depressed to the extreme, and Shang Yu's face suddenly turned pale.
Xiaoji was depressed by Shang Yu's emotions. She took a deep look at Shang Yu and reached out to hold Shang Yu's hand.
Because she and Shang Yu had a soul bond relationship, the seat was arranged next to Shang Yu.
The moment Xiao Ji took Shang Yu's hand, she felt the cold temperature of Shang Yu's hand and knew the sadness in Shang Yu's heart. She squeezed his hand tightly.
He didn't say much, and only used practical actions to support Shang Yu, telling him that what happened back then should be let go. In the future, there will be no such things in this world.
They should all forget it and imagine a better future.
Instead of always remembering the sad things of the past, the suddenly bright future is right in front of you, and people don't need to always think about the misery of the past.
"Master Imperial Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Shang Yu was holding the wine glass, and his face turned pale. It was so obvious that everyone in Rilun City had noticed these strange things. The city lord who came to greet Shang Yu thought for a while, then hesitantly spoke.
When he opened his mouth, he also came with some temptations.
After all, the mood of the Imperial Preceptor can affect all of them, and they do not want the Imperial Preceptor to be unhappy in any way in Nichirin City.
I hope that Nichiwa Castle brings absolutely happy memories to the Imperial Master.
"fine."
Perhaps it was Xiao Ji's encouragement that brought Shang Yu back, or perhaps it was the sincere condolences from the people of Rilun City that day, which made Shang Yu's heart gradually warm up, and his expression began to gradually return to normal. He took the wine glass and shook it.
After a moment of shaking, his lips that regained their rosiness slightly moved twice, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
It has a slightly bitter taste in the mouth, but a sweet aftertaste when the wine enters the throat. It is a good cup of wine.
Seeing that Shang Yu's face seemed to be very good, and his expression when looking at the wine cup was also gentle, the lord of Rilun City felt relieved and said from behind,
"This wine is brewed by the best brewer in Nichiwa City. It is brewed with Baihua and fragrant rice. It is very sweet and delicious. It is suitable for drinking by men, women and children. It has little stamina."
The city lord held the wine pot with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise the craftsmanship of his winemaker.
Shang Yu nodded, this wine is indeed good. Even though he has not touched wine for so many years, once he drinks this wine, he can taste the sweetness in it.
"It is indeed a good wine."
"It's good wine. Then, Master Imperial Master, please drink more."
"Yes, yes, there is nothing else in Nichirin City. If we talk about this Hundred Flowers Wine, it is mouth-watering!"
"Being able to drink with the Imperial Master today is also one of the great joys in life."
"Master Imperial Master, we will not get drunk or return today!"
"..."
Shang Yu's words of praise caused another wave of greetings among the people. The atmosphere was too enthusiastic. Shang Yu took the wine cup and nodded with a smile.
But I still have my own sense of proportion in my heart. It is best not to drink too much of this wine, but to stay calm at all times.
Xiao Ji, on the other hand, was indeed attracted by this beautiful wine. It was rare to drink such a delicious wine, sweet and sweet, and even if it was, it was rare to have the opportunity to drink it like now.
After all, because of what happened back then, Shang Yu had a lot of controls on herself, one of which was that she was not allowed to drink.
So, when she persuaded Shang Yu to drink just now, she had some selfish motives.
For some reason, Chu Wenyu only took a sip of wine and almost spit it out, and immediately reached out to stop Rong Xiyue from drinking.
This made Monk Rong Xiyue Zhang Er scratch his head and didn't understand why Chu Wenyu suddenly stopped him from drinking.
Chu Wenyu couldn't explain it himself. He just felt that when he took his mouth, the wine was not as sweet and mellow as they had in their mouths. Instead, it had a bitter taste with some odor.
And this wine does look very refreshing and smells very sweet. I don't know why it tastes so weird when I drink it.
Chu Wenyu stopped Rong Xiyue from drinking this wine, it was just a conditioned reflex, and he didn't want Rong Xiyue to be exposed to such a foul-smelling wine.
When Rong Xiyue saw that Chu Wenyu was preventing her from drinking, she stopped struggling. It was a pity that the wine smelled so sweet. If she drank it, it would definitely be very sweet.
After Chu Wenyu stopped Rong Xiyue from drinking, he silently looked at everyone around him, including Shang Yu and Xiao Ji. Without exception, what he saw was the look of everyone intoxicated in the sweetness of such wine.
There is nothing inappropriate or weird at all.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Wenyu felt bad.
There must be something wrong with this wine, but...
