The remaining women who were staring intently at the Emperor noticed that he kept drinking.
In their hearts, they thought.
"This wine must not be hard to drink!"
Someone curiously had a taste and then passed the word around.
Finally, everyone drank some and seemed to like it very much.
The Empress Dowager timely smiled and said.
"This wine is specially found by the mourning family from the folk, called Peach Blossom Intoxication. It's said to have been introduced from the west in the past two years, and common folk outside really like it!"
"Let's all have a taste!"
Zhao Junyao heard and said indifferently.
"Mother, you are thoughtful."
The Empress Dowager smiled.
"The mourning family likes it too. The festival is today, let's all have a good time, those who like it can drink more!"
Everyone got up and expressed agreement.
Noble Concubine Shih smiled and picked up her cup to have a sip herself.
In her heart, she said, the taste is indeed good.
