Be humble

They both stood up before taking a seat towards the Emperor's right hand side she glanced at her fiancé before remembering his promise to her, before they have their first child he would be seating on that throne.

She wondered how he would do it, he wasn't the crowned prince and it didn't seem like he was well liked at all, but such an interesting statement, surely he must have a plan already in his head. She faced her food not thinking about it anymore, why bother herself? It had nothing to do with her.She looked around eyeing the people sitting close enough to the emperor, this control - according to Mu Chen- favored martial arts so more than likely there would be some kind of contests between the high ranking ladies in the banquet and she might be singled out.

One of the younger men stood up raising his cup, he had short black hair with plain brown eyes and seemed rather plain and lanky compared to Mu Chen. " A toast of congratulations to second cousin and second cousin in law!" He said in a surprisingly soothing voice that made her smile, "many blessings on your marriage!" Mu Chen smiled as a cup of wine was poured out to the both of them.

He quickly raised his cup gulping it down, she frowned as his hand automatically reached for hers, she placed her hand on his causing him to stop and she picked it up with a graceful smile, and gulped it all down.

She smirked patting the corner of her lips without saying a word, want to force her to drink? Gladly!

One after another more and more and more officials raised glasses to her and she took them all without a word, one cup after the other. The emperor couldn't help but watch with great interest, he had never seen a woman be so bold, especially a foreigner, was she so audacious or just stupid? Drinking two cups was enough to force a grown experienced man to start to feel slightly dizzy, yet she gulped them down one after another. More than likely it wouldn't take long before she slipped into unconsciously. The hall was silently watching wondering what would happen to the new Wang fei, to them it seemed like she lacked decency, they turned to Mu Chen hoping to see his reaction but he only lazily ate his food like Liu lian was just having a small pleasant exchange with the emperor's subordinates.

Naturally he wasn't the only one to notice this, Hu Xie Lei was a well known warrior, he was the father of the last grand general. He stood up, taking the wine bottle pouring it into the small cup. He had a bewitching smile, he raised it up to her. Such a woman who sits by Wang ye and does such audacious things doesn't deserve the position of Wang fei! Jugging down five consecutive cups of alcohol he slammed his cup on the wooden table. His eyes were hazy at he glared at the woman sitting across him, the edges of her lips were turned up seductively but her eyes were hidden by the short veil that covered the upper half of her face.

Her smile never once wavered, instead she picked up a cup and drank a cup before placing it down. Her hand shook a bit as she reached out for another as the general smirked, she was drunk yet she kept drinking! At this rate he wondered if she would ever be able to wake up! She grabbed the cup and gulped it down, everyone flinched as the sharp sound of the cup hitting the table resounded in the hall. The imperial consort that sat at the king's left hand side's eye narrowed and she raised her sleeve to cover her mouth as she leaned back whispering something to her servant girl.

She had gulped down one more, then another painfully slowly, it did indeed look like she was intoxicated beyond reason and was just pushing herself. She reached out her hand for the last one, visibly shaking, her shoulders trembling slightly, Feng Mu Chen didn't bat an eye as he poured her another cup for her to drink after the fifth.

"Pfft!" The sound of laughter could be heard form the warrior.

"Woman, even Wang Ye is helping me at this point, just give up if you wan't drink it!" He said boldly causing everyone to gasp unconsciously, he stood proudly chest out and shoulders high. Her hand suddenly stopped shaking. She raised her head as if she was looking at him, swiftly gulped down the two and raised her veil in such a way only the warrior and the servants behind him could see her clear eyes.

Wang Ye is helping you what?....

"Bitch be humble. Sit down."
