The Chronicles of the Empress's Palace After the Rain - Chapter 157: The Drunken Beauty

The Peiyuan Pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, releasing a refreshing fragrance that went straight into his dantian. Qin Yu felt a tremor run through his body, his face flushed red, and his whole body felt as if it were in a steamer, filled with a warm, scorching heat that surged through his meridians, growing faster and hotter with each passing moment.
"It's so hot! How could this be?"
Qin Rou suddenly released her grip on Qin Yu's arm and exclaimed in surprise, "You... what kind of medicine did you give my brother...?"
Chu Jiangnan looked at Qin Rou with affection, shook his head gently, and appeared behind Qin Yu in a flash. He reached out and pressed his hand against Qin Yu's back. The moment the two touched, Chu Jiangnan slowly released a cold demonic energy. The two energies, hot and cold, attracted each other like opposite sexes and surged into Qin Yu's meridians. He felt as if his whole body was about to explode from the impact of the two energies.
As the cold and heat clashed and the scorching heat merged, Qin Yu's body shone with a magnificent rainbow, forming a yin-yang hexagram in his dantian. As the hexagram rotated, the Frost True Qi he had cultivated for fifteen years immediately began to circulate endlessly, breaking through the fourth level of the Frost Technique and breaking through two more levels to reach the sixth level of the Frost Technique.
Qin Yu was overjoyed. He never expected to have such a wonderful encounter. In fact, taking the Peiyuan Pill could not possibly have such a rapid increase in power. However, Chu Jiangnan's help was crucial, saving Qin Yu at least five years of hard training to reach the ninth level of the "Frost Ice Technique".
However, upon further reflection, he recalled that when he had mastered his skills and descended the mountain, his master had said that with his martial arts prowess, he was virtually unmatched among the younger generation of martial arts masters. He never expected that he would suffer such a crushing defeat in his first battle after descending the mountain.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Chu Jiangnan's lips, and Qin Yu felt a jolt throughout his body before fainting...
Meanwhile, not long after Chu Jiangnan left, Shang Rende's imperial edict arrived, with the same content as before, summoning Shan Wan'er to an audience.
After reading the imperial edict, Li Shun, the chief steward, stood respectfully to the side. Shan Wan'er and Shan Shuying exchanged a glance, both seeing deep fear in each other's eyes, because they were thinking of the same man—Chu Jiangnan.
Before Qifeng Palace, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Shan Wan'er took off the Dongming Sword, which she didn't need to take off, and followed two alluringly dressed maids into the luxuriously built hall inside the palace.
In the hall, apart from the servants and maids, two people were talking in hushed tones. Li Shun quietly walked up behind them and stood down, his head bowed and his hands at his sides, looking humble.
The man on the left was a handsome middle-aged general. Shan Wan'er's gentle gaze fell on this man who gave off a rather sinister feeling.
He had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sword-like nose and thick lips, and three long wisps of beard under his chin. He wore golden chainmail, with mythical beasts representing dragons and phoenixes fastened to his shoulder armor. He exuded a chilling aura.
Dan Wan'er glanced at him indifferently, feeling that the other person was as if he were carved from a piece of ice that had never melted in hell for thousands of years. Although he was just sitting there, you could tell that he was strong and tall. He was none other than Chen Qitai, the majestic general in the court who was awe-inspiring and shouted that he would crush Japan and bring glory to our country.
The other person sitting in the hall chatting and laughing with Chen Qitai, and who was even sitting in the main seat in the middle, was someone that Shan Wan'er really couldn't think of besides Shang Rende in the entire Ryukyu Kingdom.
Shan Wan'er glanced at him with her beautiful eyes. Shang Rende was dressed solemnly and dignifiedly at this moment. His long black hair was tied up under his hair crown. His eyes were bright and sharp. His nose was straight and his lips were slightly curved. He was a completely different person from his absurd appearance in the court.
Shang Rende stood ramrod straight, his speech measured and measured, exuding the air of a superior and the demeanor of a tyrant. The only chilling thing was that no matter how composed and magnanimous he seemed, there was always a hint of undisguised greed and lewdness deep in his eyes.
Dan Wan'er's mind wasn't on them. She wasn't concerned about who was waiting for her there, nor whether there were axemen lurking behind the wall. Her only concern was Chu Jiangnan's safety...
With graceful steps, the beautiful Shan Wan'er stepped lightly into the hall. Her beauty, comparable to the bright moon, was like Chang'e descending to earth, instantly catching the eyes of the two people who were talking. The only one who could remain unmoved by her stunning beauty was Li Shun, who had been standing still since entering the hall.
"Oh, so Sister-in-law Wang has arrived. Someone, please have a seat."
Upon seeing Shan Wan'er gracefully approaching, Shang Rende stood up first, followed closely by Chen Qitai. The two stood up one after the other to greet her politely.
Shan Wan'er's husband, Shang Chen, was the rightful heir to the Ryukyu throne. However, although he was exceptionally talented, he had no interest in fame or fortune. As a result, the throne of the Ryukyu King of Zhongshan fell to Shang Rende. To show respect, he always addressed Shan Wan'er as his sister-in-law.
"I was already surprised that His Majesty summoned me alone, but I never expected that the mighty General would also be here?"
Dan Wan'er remained calm, her heart undisturbed, her expression serene. A perfectly timed smile bloomed on her pretty face as she slightly bent her knees to bow to the two men. After exchanging pleasantries, she finally sat down in the right-hand seat that had been specially reserved for her.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Sister Wang, you're still as charming as ever! Congratulations, congratulations..."
Shang Rende stood up and handed the jade cup filled with wine to Shan Wan'er, his face full of anticipation. "Come, let me first offer a toast to my sister-in-law."
Wine possesses the form of water and the character of fire. Water is gentle and graceful, adapting to its container; fire, on the other hand, is violent and fierce, moving with the wind. The ancients wrote, "Books, music, chess, poetry, wine, and flowers—in those days, I was inseparable from them all," already considering drinking wine, along with music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as refined arts. How could one refuse the wine offered by the king?
"I dare not accept such an answer, Your Majesty."
With delicate hands gently protecting the rim of the jade cup, Shan Wan'er tilted her head slightly, parted her crimson lips, and sipped the wine. Her beauty was captivating, and a blush instantly appeared on her fair and beautiful face, making her truly stunning.
Setting down the jade cup, Shan Wan'er was exceptionally beautiful, her expression serene, like a celestial fairy untouched by worldly concerns, inspiring a desire to get close yet a reluctance to harbor the slightest disrespect.
"We parted three years ago, and today we meet again. Sister Wang is as graceful as ever, and her boldness is no less than that of any man."
Chen Qitai clapped his hands in admiration, picked up a gold-inlaid wine cup and filled it with wine for Shan Wan'er, and said with a smile, "This cup is from this general to toast the Queen, hehe, please do not refuse, Queen."
Looking at the jade cup that had been refilled, Shan Wan'er could not refuse and could only drink another cup.
Her sleeves covered her lips, her delicate lips parted slightly, and the cup of wine was already completely empty.
The first time, she slowly sipped the wine while covering the cup with her sleeve; the second time, she drank quickly without covering it with her sleeve. After two cups of baijiu, Shan Wan'er, who had a very low alcohol tolerance, had her beautiful eyes hazy, flashing with a mysterious and alluring light.
When it comes to wine, drunkenness, and the beauty of drunkenness, the most fitting image is probably that of the Imperial Concubine Yang Guifei, who was "still asleep like a begonia." At that moment, it's hard to tell whether the begonia was made more beautiful by the Imperial Concubine's drunken state, or whether the Imperial Concubine was made more charming by the begonia's languid state.
The moon, round and round, begins its ascent over the island, and the Jade Rabbit appears, rising early in the east. As the moon leaves the island, the world shines exceptionally bright. The bright moon hangs in the sky, just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace, and I am like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace. It's as if Chang'e descends from the nine heavens, lonely and desolate in the Guanghan Palace, ah, Guanghan Palace. Leaning against the jade bridge railing, mandarin ducks play in the water, and golden carp swim on the surface. Ah, on the water's surface, wild geese fly across the sky, oh, wild geese, oh, wild geese, flying together, hearing my voice amidst falling blossoms, this scenery is intoxicating, and before I know it, I've arrived at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
A woman with a slight intoxication is alluring, seductive, and instinctively tempting.
A glint of malevolence flashed in Shang Rende's eyes, and the jade cup that Shan Wan'er had just put down was now filled with ripples of wine...
From her initial intoxication to her current tipsy state, Shan Wan'er gently stroked her slightly dizzy head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have a low tolerance for alcohol and truly cannot drink any more... I wonder why Your Majesty summoned me here today... What is the matter..."
As she spoke, her eloquent tongue seemed to get a little tied up. At this moment, Shan Wan'er resembled a drunken beauty who had drunk a couple of extra cups of wine.
"I summoned my sister-in-law here because I have important matters to discuss."
Shang Rende's gaze swept over the imposing General Chen Qitai sitting beside him and the respectful Chief Steward Li Shun standing behind him, and then he slowly said, "I have something to say to my sister-in-law alone. You two may leave now."
Thinking to herself that what was bound to happen had finally arrived, Shan Wan'er smiled faintly and remained silent. Her beautiful eyes held a gentle and charming allure, full of tender emotions, making her incredibly captivating and pitiful. She was truly a rare beauty among mortals.
Chen Qitai rose and bowed, but did not leave as ordered. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, regarding what I just mentioned..."
After a moment's thought, Shang Rende carefully took the gold medal from his waist and handed it to him. Chen Qitai bowed his head, reached out, and respectfully accepted the gold medal, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at the man opposite him.
Having achieved their goal, Chen Qitai and Li Shun left without further delay. After they left, the servants and maids in the hall also retreated like a tide, leaving only Shang Rende and Shan Wan'er in the spacious, bright, and luxuriously furnished hall.
"Does Your Majesty wish to speak with me privately?"
Dan Wan'er seemed to have regained some of her senses, but the blush on her face did not diminish at all; on the contrary, it became even more intense, exuding a captivating charm and irresistible allure.
"Sister-in-law, I wish to marry Shuying. I beg you to grant my request."
Shang Rende got straight to the point, catching Shan Wan'er off guard.
"What?"
Dan Wan'er was terrified, and the effects of the alcohol instantly wore off. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please stop... please don't mention this kind of thing again..."
Shang Rende's lust for Shan Shuying was an open secret. Now that the old matter had been brought up again, Shan Wan'er knew that this was the last chance for the Dongming faction and Shang Rende to "make peace," but she still refused without the slightest hesitation.
"Sister-in-law Wang, I truly love Shuying. Heaven can see my love for her. As long as she marries me, I will immediately make her empress and never betray her in this life."
Shang Rende spoke with unwavering conviction, for the first time no longer referring to himself as "this king," his eyes gleaming with fervent anticipation. His mind painted a beautiful picture of the future, and he grew increasingly excited as he spoke, "As long as you marry Shuying to me, the Shang and Shan families will surely prosper for generations to come..."
Fortunately, Chu Jiangnan wasn't here, otherwise he would definitely have said to him: "The Sun Moon Divine Cult, with its literary and martial virtues, will last for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, unifying the martial world."
"Shang Rende, Shuying is your brother's daughter. You...you actually have designs on her...how are you any different from a beast?"
Dan Wan'er's beautiful eyes flashed with a dark, cold light as she called him by his name and angrily denounced Shang Rende as worse than a beast.
"I am the ruler of Zhongshan. My word is law. Those who obey me prosper, and those who defy me perish!"
Shang Rende spoke with a firm and powerful voice, his pace slow yet forceful. Tearing away his facade, his狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face gradually surfaced. "If you agree, I will forgive and forget what happened before, as if it never occurred. I will immediately issue a decree appointing the Grand Elder of the Dongming Sect as the National Preceptor of Ryukyu, granting him eternal glory..."
