Chapter 814 Big Health Care
The royal banquet was in full swing, with guests mingling and enjoying themselves. Suddenly, the music changed, and a group of dancers entered the hall. They twirled and spun, their colorful costumes shimmering under the light. Everyone watched in awe, including General Qin Mo, who had been sipping on some wine.
As the performance came to an end, one of the dancers approached Qin Mo. "General, would you care to dance?" she asked, smiling sweetly.
Qin Mo hesitated for a moment, then shrugged and took her hand. They began to dance, but it quickly became apparent that the General was not a skilled dancer. He stumbled and stepped on the dancer's toes, causing her to wince in pain.
The guests around them started to chuckle and whisper to each other, but Qin Mo was oblivious. He was determined to keep dancing, even though his movements were stiff and awkward.
Soon, the music picked up, and Qin Mo tried to match the pace, but it only made things worse. He started to spin wildly, losing his balance and crashing into a nearby table. Plates and glasses clattered to the ground, and the guests burst into laughter.

From that moment on, Qin Mo was known not only as a great warrior but also as a terrible dancer. The rest of the evening passed in a haze of merriment, with guests recounting the hilarious scene over and over again
...
The royal hall buzzed with energy and laughter, the air thick with merriment and the clinking of glasses. Suo, a high-ranking official known for his smooth tongue, rose from his seat, a glass of bubbly in hand. He smirked mischievously, his eyes scanning the room, searching for the perfect target to liven up the festivities.
"Listen up, folks!" Suo called out, his voice filled with a playful tone. "I've got a toast that'll knock your socks off!"
The guests turned their attention to Suo, their faces bright with anticipation. Suo, always the master of words, had a reputation for his captivating speeches and sharp wit. With a flourish, he raised his glass, his gaze fixed on the King, or so he thought.
"To the King!" Suo proclaimed, his voice booming through the hall. But instead of directing his toast to the King, he mistakenly locked eyes with the neighboring ambassador, a distinguished figure dressed in extravagant robes.
The room fell into stunned silence as Suo's mistake hung in the air. The ambassador raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into an amused smile. The guests exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of how to react. But it didn't take long for the tension to break, as laughter erupted from all corners of the hall.
Suo's face turned a vibrant shade of red, but he didn't miss a beat. He chuckled, his eyes crinkling with mirth, and tapped his glass against the ambassador's. "Well, well, ambassador, you've earned yourself a toast tonight!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with humor.
The room exploded into laughter, the guests clapping and hooting in approval. Suo, ever the entertainer, seized the moment, improvising a comedic tale about the ambassador's unexpected rise to royalty. The guests roared with laughter, their mirth echoing off the grand walls.
Emboldened by the uproar, other guests joined in the playful chaos. Glasses were raised to unsuspecting individuals, to imaginary friends, and even to the elaborate chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The toasts became a game of wits, each participant vying to outdo the others in hilarity and absurdity.
The King, known for his regal composure, couldn't resist the infectious laughter. He stood from his throne, a wide grin on his face, and raised his glass to a lowly servant who had unwittingly become the center of attention. The servant's eyes widened in surprise, cheeks turning crimson, but he raised his glass in return, a bashful smile breaking through his facade.
The royal hall was a spectacle of merriment, with the guests toasting the wrong people, clinking glasses with uproarious joy, and sharing heartfelt laughter. The air was alive with camaraderie and the realization that even in the grandest of settings, moments of genuine hilarity and human foibles could unite people in ways no formal gathering ever could.
As the uproarious laughter subsided and the guests gradually regained their composure, Suo's face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and determination. He discreetly excused himself from the jubilant crowd, his footsteps light as he made his way toward the King's side.
Suo approached the King, a hint of sheepishness in his eyes, and leaned in closer to speak in a hushed tone. "Your Majesty," he began, his voice laced with sincerity and remorse. "I must apologize for the earlier mishap. I never meant to raise my glass to the wrong person. It was a moment of distraction, and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me."
The King regarded Suo with a gentle smile, his expression understanding. "Suo, my friend," he replied in a warm, informal tone. "There's nothing to forgive. Laughter is a precious gift, and your unintentional blunder brought joy to the entire hall. We all need moments of levity, even in the grandest of settings."
Relief washed over Suo's face, his shoulders visibly relaxing. He nodded gratefully, appreciating the King's understanding and generosity. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your words mean a great deal to me," he replied, his voice filled with genuine gratitude.
Suo's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glimmer as he leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Speaking of levity, Your Majesty, I have a proposal for you," he said, a playful grin tugging at the corners of his lips. "How about we escape the confines of the palace one of these days and venture into the red district? There's a renowned health care establishment there, known for its rejuvenating therapies. I thought it might be a splendid way for us to unwind and indulge in some well-deserved pampering."
