The feasting continued well after dark. The red lanterns were all lit now, basking everyone in rosy glows. More liquor was brought out, and it seemed like everyone was drinking to their hearts' content. The wedding of a rank one minister and the daughter of the prime minister was a large affair and a huge celebration. These events were rare, so all the guests were enjoying themselves.
Drinking games were played in the courtyard and inside the main room. Shao Wenbo was heavily involved in the one indoors. Even Xie Ming and Xiao Yuhan were taking part in some of the games. It seemed like everyone was having fun.
"Amazing, Minister Shao! You're such a man!"
"Chug, chug, chug!"
"Nah, you lost, you must drink!"
"Go Minister Shao! Woo-hoo!"
