Emperor Shou continued with his and brother Cheng story from their teenage years and how they felt after tasting the mijiu wine for the first time in their life. Emperor Shou was the one who was narrating the story while Cheng was giggling and enjoying, remembering that moment when Emperor Shou was telling their story. Previously in the story they had a taste of Mijiu wine and at first they couldn't understand it's taste, for them it was confusing and now they want to try even more after having first sip.
Emperor Shou continues his story..
"So we both were inside the cupboard now brother Cheng had the mijiu wine in his hand then he had another sip from the bottle and then he passed it to me. When I took sip for the second time I remember..... I said to brother Cheng 'brother Cheng.... this wine is so confusing.... I could not understand it's taste at all. I thought this drink must be sweet and tasty but this is so bewildering to me.' Then brother Cheng told me 'Yes brother just like I couldn't understand it's taste I couldn't understand why our father and all of those generals and ministers enjoy this drink so much?"
Everyone in the bar were having a laugh over their story.
"Emperor Shou it looks like you and Lord Cheng were doing some deep meditation in the search of the taste of Mijiu wine inside the cupboard." One minister made a joke of their story while Emperor Shou and Cheng were agreeing to him jokingly.
"Yes.... yes.... you could think this a meditation for us because we were curious to know what so speacial about this Mijiu that our father enjoyed the most. However, after sometime we realized why he enjoyed this wine so much." Emperor Shou replied.
"How Emperor Shou.....?" Head Hao asked.
"After having few sips brother Cheng and I started to feel very dizzy.... something.... like we all are feeling right now. I started see four brother Cheng infront of my eyes and at that time I asked 'Brother Cheng you never told me that you have three twin brothers with you as well?' To which brother Cheng replied 'What you are also seeing four people just like me? I said Yes, then I asked why he asked and then he replied 'Because I am also seeing four people looking just like you."
All of them were laughing hearing this incident and brother Cheng was feeling refreshed after recalling those past memories.
"Emperor Shou.... I guess then you and brother Shou would have enjoyed a lot on that day, am I right?" Minister Li asked.
"No.... infact it was the worst day of our life." Emperor Shou replied with low dull voice and brother Cheng also nodded turning the lively moment into serious moment.
"What...? Why Emperor Shou?" Head Hao asked.
"Because Head Hao when we both were having mijiu hiding inside the cupboard we completely forgotten about the training. It was the time of our training and Master Zi Chen was waiting for us at the ground, Master Zi Chen was waiting for us for over an hour and we didn't arrived. Done waiting Master Zi Chen decided to find us, Master Zi Chen was looking for us in the whole palace but he couldn't able to find us he even came to our parents room as well but since we were hidden inside the cupboard he couldn't able to find us. Master Zi Chen was now worried for after he didn't saw us roaming around the every single corner of the palace. He was too much worried about our whereabouts, he was constantly asking the palace maids and guards about us." Emperor Shou narrated the part of the story in which Master Zi Chen was finding him and Cheng. The story was getting interesting for everyone were enjoying listening to Emperor Shou's story.
"Then what happened Emperor Shou? Did Master Zi Chen was able to find you or you guys succeeded to escape out of his sights?" Head Hao asked.
"Oh.... Head Hao... we both were not that lucky to stay out of Master Zi Chen's sight. I still regret that day fighting over this Mijiu." Emperor Shou said making everyone curious to know.
"Fighting over a Mijiu wine? How and why Emperor Shou?" Minister Li asked.
"Haaahh..... Me and brother inside the cupboard were drinking the mijiu wine and after sometime we both started to enjoy the mijiu wine. During that time we both got our answers about why our father along with his ministers and generals enjoy this drink so much. We enjoying just like them. When we were inside the cupboard accidentally Master Zi Chen passed by our parents room in our search. Suddenly he heard some sounds and stopped there to see what was that sound..."
"And what was that sound?" Head Hao gasped.
"Well.... Head Hao.... it was a sound of the impact of cupboard which we made. Inside the cupboard brother Cheng snatched away the mijiu wine bottle from my hands and his elbow accidentally struck the cupboard door and it caused a sound. I am telling you at that we we had idea that Master Zi Chen was there. And after he heard the sound he came back to look and when he came to our parents room he started to feel something suspicious. Inside I started to fight with brother Cheng for snatching away the mijiu wine bottle from me, in retaliation I also tried to snatch away the mijiu wine bottle from his hands but brother Cheng kept a hold on while I was trying to pull it away from his hold. Outside the cupboard Master Zi Chen realized that we both were inside the cupboard and he inching closer to the cupboard while we both were fighting and result of our stupidity we tumble out the cupboard like dumplings from a broken steamer. We both landed straight in front of Master Zi Chen's feet and the mijiu wine bottle..... oh.... that bottle.... that was completely shattered into pieces and the room was filled with the smell of mijiu wine."
Everyone burst out of laughter.
"Then... then... what Master said?"
"And there was Master Zi Chen staring at us like a disappointed ancestor. Brother Cheng tried to explain we both were mediating. Deeply and Spiritually."
"And.... and..... what did Master Zi Chen said...." Minister Li asked while gasped in laughter.
"Master Zi Chen angrily asked with mijiu wine? To which brother Cheng replied, no Master the bottle of mijiu wine kept on the upper shelve we have no idea about it."
"So.... did he took that excuse?" Head Hao with laughter.
"Really... do you think Master would buy that excuse? Instead he stared at us like a tiger look at the poor goats."
"Emperor Shou.... then what punishment did Master given to you both?" One general snorted.
"First he made us clean the room including that shattered glass pieces of Mijiu wine bottle and after cleaning the room he grabbed us by back of our necks and took us to the training ground. There he made us stand on a single piece of bamboo with single leg also kept three bowls filled with Mijiu wine two in our hands in horizontal direction for the balance and one on the top of our heads until the midnight. While Master was standing there with a stick in his hand and whenever we moved even a single inch of our muscle he swung that stick in his on that single leg through which we were standing"
The bar echoed with full of laughters and giggles. Emperor Shou held up his finger solemnly.
"But let me tell you.... those were the finest moments of drunken enlightenment that me and brother Cheng ever known."
Everyone clapped, hollered, and doubled over laughing. Emperor Shou took a long sip of Mijiu wine from his cup like it was something stronger, he leaned back and sighed.
"And on that, everyone, me and brother Cheng swore to never touch the bottle of mijiu wine again."
