My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

"What does Sizi want to eat today? Be bold, it's on me today!"

As Chen Mo spoke, he added another sentence.

"Your dad will pay."

"Why should I pay?"

Li Shimin said with dissatisfaction.

"Sizi and Lizhi are both fine today, and Gaoming can be discharged. Aren't you going to pay?"

Chen Mo chuckled.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then did not refuse, but instead asked.

Do you have any alcohol here?

"Alcohol? You want to drink?"

Chen Mo turned his gaze to him.

"You might not be able to handle the alcohol here."

"Can't stand it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyebrows furrowed.

"Whom do you look down on? Back in my military days, I drank with my soldiers, and I could drink an enormous amount!"

"What do you mean 'can't stand it'! Just bring it on! There's no wine I can't stand!"

Chen Mo looked at his confident appearance, smiled and shook his head, and took two bottles of 53-proof liquor.

Soon, the dishes were almost all ordered.

The group went into the private room and sat down.

Li Shimin immediately opened the private room and marveled at the packaging of the liquor.

"The packaging looks nice!"

He then unpacked a set of tableware, poured himself a cup, and looked at Zhu Biao and the others.

"Would you like a drink too?"

Zhu Biao, Fusu, and the others exchanged glances but did not refuse.

Soon, the crystal-clear white wine was poured in.

Li Shimin sniffed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"This wine has a rather strong aroma, much more intense than the previous ones!"

"Drink this wine slowly, don't drink it too fast, or something bad might happen..."

Just as Chen Mo was about to remind him, Li Shimin glared at him.

"The way you're saying that makes it sound like I'm incapable!"

"Oh, right, I forgot to ask you earlier, Chen, why don't you want a drink?"

"I?"

Chen Mo smiled.

"I'd rather not! I don't like this kind of wine!"

"Eh!"

Li Shimin was somewhat of a pity.

Then, he raised his glass and said confidently.

"Come on! Let's do it!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and poured all the liquor in the glass into his mouth.

The next second—

"Cough! Cough cough cough—!"

Li Shimin's face flushed red instantly, and the veins on his neck bulged out.

He suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently, tears welling up in his eyes!

The liquor was like a line of fire, burning from his throat all the way to his stomach. It was spicy and hot, completely different from the mild rice wine and fruit wine he usually drank!

"What...what kind of wine is this?! How can it be so...cough...overpowering!!"

He finally caught his breath, pointed at the bottle of liquor, and his voice was distorted.

Liu Ju, Fusu, and the others looked at the liquor in their hands, unsure whether to drink it or not.

In the end, I could only take a small sip cautiously, and my face changed color immediately after drinking it.

"This liquor... is definitely strong!"

Chen Mo suppressed a laugh and handed Li Shimin a glass of water.

"I already told you it's different! This is called distilled spirit, it has a high alcohol content, so you have to sip it slowly."

"It's no wonder you'll get sick if you gulp it down like that!"

Little Sizi blinked her big eyes curiously as she watched her father choke and turn red in the face.

Li Lizhi couldn't help but laugh and quickly patted her father's back.

Li Shimin drank several mouthfuls of water before he felt the burning sensation subside somewhat.

He stared at the glass of wine, somewhat resentful, yet still shaken.

"Good heavens! This liquor here is incredibly strong!"

"It's completely different from what we have here!"

However, after recovering, he picked up the cup again, carefully took a small sip, and savored the strong taste and aftertaste. His eyes gradually revealed surprise and appreciation.

"Hmm... It's intense at first, but upon closer inspection, it has a unique flavor! That's powerful! Haha!"

Chen Mo shook his head.

"I just can't understand what's so good about baijiu."

"But I'm glad you like it."

He pointed to a plate of peanuts and cucumber salad that had just been served on the table.

"You can eat this while drinking; it can help mask some of the spiciness of the liquor."

Li Shimin nodded.

He took a sip of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and ate a fried peanut, nodding repeatedly.

"It's really good!"

Before many dishes had even been served, the group had already spent a long time drinking with fried peanuts and cucumbers.

Before long, dishes began to be served one by one.

The bottle of liquor quickly emptied.

Li Chengqian's alcohol tolerance was not high to begin with, and this was his first time drinking this kind of wine, so he only felt dizzy.

He took a deep breath and looked at Chen Mo.

"Brother Chen, you really have to thank me!"

"If it weren't for me..."

"Chengqian..."

Li Shimin frowned and scolded him when he saw his appearance.

"You need to maintain a respectable image in public! You must act like a prince..."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian lowered his head and remained silent.

Li Shimin continued speaking.

"But you are..."

"Go to hell with your prince!"

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Li Chengqian suddenly stood up, pressed his hand on the table, and slammed it down heavily.

"I've put up with you for far too long!"

Li Shimin stared blankly at Li Chengqian, seemingly not expecting him to erupt, but soon a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

"You...you're talking to me?"

"Chengqian, I see you..."

"Your Majesty, please address me as Crown Prince!!!"
