The environment was now boisterous inside the bar. Both Emperor Shou and Head Hao were arguing, pushing and pulling each other for prince Liang. Emperor Shou wanted to hold prince Liang in his arms while Head Hao was resisting and was not allowing him to take prince Liang following Empress Hanmei's order while the generals and ministers inside the bar were enjoying seeing Both of them fighting. Outside Cheng was walking in the corridor, his face was full of concern and tension because of the arguments he had with his wife Xiú before. Walking in the corridor he came across the bar accidentally he heard some people laughing and giggling and Emperor Shou and Head Hao arguing as well.
Cheng curiously went ahead to see what was happening inside the bar and there he saw Emperor Shou and Head Hao were pushing and pulling each other while ministers and generals were having a laugh. Head Hao suddenly saw Cheng was standing outside at the door and this was the perfect for him to distract Emperor Shou.
"Lord Cheng! You arrived." Head Hao said.
Emperor Shou then suddenly looked back and saw his brother Cheng standing door. Emperor Shou then welcomed his brother.
"Brother Cheng! Where were you, why it took you so long... why are you standing there? Come in... join us."
Emperor Shou asked his brother to come in, however Cheng was not in mood to have some drinks but he can't say no to his brother so he eventually joined in.
Cheng came inside the bar and sat down right beside his brother Shou.
"Brother...." Emperor Shou said gently.
"Yes...." Cheng looked up to his brother
"What happened...?" Emperor Shou asked with a concern.
"What.....? Me....? Nothing, what will happen to me?"
Cheng laughed but it was a fake one, he wanted everyone to believe that he is fine and there is wrong with him.
"If there is nothing wrong then why you didn't came for dinner?" Emperor Shou asked.
"Dinner.....? Ah.... um....um... ah.... I was not feeling hungry at all brother Shou, I had eaten a lot in lunch so I decided not to have dinner tonight."
Cheng made a excuse, hiding the actual reasons behind his sadness.
Emperor Shou picked up a jue and placed it infront of his brother on the table and poured Mijiu wine into the jue for Cheng.
"Here, have some brother..." Emperor Shou asked Cheng to have some drinks but Cheng wasn't much excited about it as he always suppose to.
"No.... not today Shou.... I am not having any mood for drinks." Cheng refused to drink Mijiu but Emperor Shou knows how to lift up his brother's mood.
"Brother Cheng don't fool me..... I know you love this Mijiu wine more than me, remember those teenage years how we both suppose to drink this wine hiding inside the cupboard?" Emperor Shou brought the teenage story. This made Cheng smile after his brother Shou reminded him the teenage story. This lifted up Cheng's mood and then he picked the jue and had a sip of Mijiu wine.
"Ah..... Shou you know how to make me drink just like those teenage years." Cheng replied with a joy on his face.
But Head Hao was now curious to know about the story which they mentioned about.
"Emperor Shou..... what is the story behind the mijiu wine?"
Emperor Shou looked at his brother Cheng with a grim.
"Should I tell them about the story brother?" Emperor Shou asked.
"Why not at least these guys should know how mischievous you were supposed to he in your teenage." Cheng allowed him to reveal the story.
"Lord Cheng..... Emperor Shou was supposed to be mischievous in his teenage years?" Head Hao asked.
"Mischievous! He was the absolute menace. You wouldn't believe how clever he was... tell them the story Shou." Cheng asked Shou to reveal the story.
"Emperor Shou please tell us about the story I am excited to hear it." Head Hao showed his excitement of hearing the story.
Emperor Shou had a sip of Mijiu and was ready to narrate the story.
"So..... it was quite a long time ago..... when I was fourteen and brother Cheng was seventeen, one day we were walking into the corridor after we had our training from Master Zi Chen. Suddenly our eyes fall onto our father having this Mijiu drink and was enjoying just like us here. I asked brother Cheng 'brother what is this drink that make everyone so happy and excited?' and brother Cheng replied he had no idea about it. So both of us had a crazy idea about trying this Mijiu drink once....." Emperor Shou told the first part of their story and Cheng was giggling remembering the story.
"Then did you both tried to drink the mijiu?" Head Hao asked.
"YEAHH... but the problem was were not adults and it was quite difficult for to have this drink because our father was always suppose keep this drink right at the top of the shelve. So it we had to struggle to get it." Emperor Shou narrated the other half of the story
"Then....? How you both managed to get that mijiu wine from that shelve?" One minister sitting there asked.
"In first brother Cheng was standing and put both of my legs on his shoulders and somehow I balanced myself on his shoudler but still it was short, I tried to reach the mijiu wine but instead I lost my balance and eventually I fell on brother Cheng. We both of were in pain.... at first we thought to quit this idea but again our curiosity for the mijiu wine made us again motivated and we started again but this time we tried something different approach." Emperor Shou narrated the other half of his story.
"What different approach you both tried Emperor Shou?" Head Hao asked.
"This time we pulled out some quilts and used them as a stool to stand on it. Brother Cheng stood on the quilts and I stood on his shoudlers balanced myself and tried again to grab that mijiu wine. After lot of struggle I somehow managed to get my hands on the mijiu wine but I again got disbalanced and fell...."
"Oh..... then the mijiu wine would have been spilled on floor." One minister said.
"No.... this time I fell on the quilts so the mijiu wine was safe and after that me and brother Cheng opened the bottle of mijiu wine, after opening the mijiu wine the smell made us hate it. I gave it to brother Cheng to drink first but just like me he was also trying to avoid it, he gave it back to me and I gave it back to him. After sometime brother Cheng being elder took the responsibility of tasting the mijiu first.... he took one sip of it and was in confusion...."
"Confusion? Why lord Cheng was confused, Emperor Shou?" Head Hao.
"Head Hao because brother Cheng couldn't judge the taste at all, just like today it was sweet but bitter and then he gave it to me to taste it. After having a sip I was also confused just like him and just find that actual taste of the wine we hide ourselves inside the cupboard and started drinking the mijiu wine..."
Emperor Shou continues with his story.
