I Can’t Hold My Liquor Well

Long Yang had planned to take Lu Liangwei for lunch, but the moment they stepped out of the shop, a young man dressed in servant garb came up to them. He performed a fist and palm salute to Long Yang and said politely, "Minister Lin, my master has set up a banquet in Gentle Breeze Court, and he invites both of you to join him."

Lu Liangwei asked in surprise, "Who's your master?"

Instead of answering her, the servant looked at Long Yang. "I'm sure you know who it is, Minister Lin."

Lu Liangwei turned to look at Long Yang. "You do?"

Long Yang squeezed her hand and replied, "It's lunchtime, anyway. Since he's prepared a banquet for us, it'd be disrespectful to decline. I heard that Gentle Breeze Court is famous for its dishes in the capital city, so you'll probably like the food there. Let's go."

His reply reassured Lu Liangwei that he was well aware of the situation, so she nodded. "All right."

They followed the servant to Gentle Breeze Court.
