Fengjiu was in her room and put some grapes in front of her. She heard someone approaching her room and saw it was Qingti with a jar of wine. She smiled and remembered how drunk they had both gotten in the past.
She thought to herself, 'Surely I'll be able to hold the wine this time now that I know I have to be at the pond later tonight?'
"Come in, General Ye," she said with a smile.
He walked in and looked around. Then he sat down his giant jar on the table. "His Majesty especially had people to empty a side chamber for you to stay by yourself. This is the first time for a guard in this palace. Are you satisfied?"
Fengjiu smiled and felt glad she didn't have to share a room with men. It would have been bad.
She replied, "Very satisfied. Not only is it comfortable to stay here, it's also very close to His Majesty."
"Also, His Majesty told me that I must give you an official rank. I plan to make you team leader. How about it?" Qingti asked.
Fengjiu knew that she wasn't supposed to know what a team leader was. "What does a team leader do?"
He smiled. "It's easy, to make sure you have enough time to watch over His Majesty. You only need to make rounds in the Palace a few times a day."
"That sounds perfect for me," she replied and rubbed her neck.
Qingti sighed. "All right. Done with the official matters. Now, I am personally expressing my thanks." And he pointed to his wine.
She laughed and got the cups from next to her and gave him one. "No need to be so courteous."
Then he opened the jar. "It's not really something precious. Just a wine that has been aged for 60 years." He poured her a drink.
Fengjiu smelled the wine. 'Yep, it's the same potent stuff.'
She stated, "Just sniffing it, you know this wine is extraordinary. In the wilderness, it's really hard to drink wine like this."
They clinked cups. He said, "First cup, thank you for saving me."
"Cheers," they said together and drank it.
"Mellow and sweet, with long lasting aftertaste. It's really good wine," she told him, as she had done in the past.
He looked amazed. "Xiao Jiu, you really know your wine. To tell you the truth, other than martial arts training and military strategies, my only other interest is wine." he smiled. "So we are alike. I really hate it that we met this late."
"I am very passionate about martial arts," she told him.
He looked happy. "Really? If there is a chance, we should exchange some moves. Especially after what I saw today. You are very good."
