Shen Zhifu has always been the most observant and the most sophisticated. This is recognized by the officials in Jiangnan, and it is also clear to Shen Zhifu himself.

    Since His Royal Highness King Guangling is in a bad mood today, it will naturally make him feel better.

    According to Shen Zhifu's observation during this period, His Royal Highness King Guangling is not very attractive, and he does not like to be flattered. Hobby.

    The only thing is that at that time, His Royal Highness King Guangling seemed to like drinking.

     

    So, when the officials took their seats, Shen Zhifu went to find the owner of the painting boat, and relying on his many years of favor, he asked him to ask for several jars of old wine red.

    The river fish from this Slender West Lake is the best drink. In particular, there is a fish that is made of wine lees, and when one end is served, the table is full of fragrant aromas.

    Xue Yan frowned without a trace.

    Prince Yongning respects the rules, although Jun Huailang has a detached status and is more valuable than the officials present, but he has no official title, so Duke Yongning let him and Shen Liufeng sit next to him .

    Xue Yan sat at the top, across the big table, the two happened to face each other.

    When the lees fish came up, Jun Huailang had already seen Xue Yan frowning, but then the table was opened, Shen Zhifu picked up a glass of wine, and immediately started a meal Respect Xue Yan vigorously.

    There is a posture that Xue Yan is sure to have a good time today.

    Shen Liufeng also picked up the wine and had a drink with Jun Huailang.

    "My uncle found good wine today!" Shen Liufeng said. "Huailang, you can drink more today."

    Jun Huailang responded with a smile and had a cup of tea with him.

    But then, out of the corner of his eye, he met Xue Yan's gaze.

    Jun Huailang paused and subconsciously glanced at him.

    Seeing that Xue Yan immediately withdrew his gaze, as if the staring just now was just an illusion. Just at this moment, Xue Yan and Shen Zhifu had a cup of wine, Xue Yan lifted the glass, raised his head, and drank the glass of wine.

     When Shen Zhifu saw it, he had a bottom line.

    Sure enough, what he guessed was right, this His Royal Highness King Guangling was like his nephew, so he was greedy for this wine.

    But Jun Huailang in the distance was stunned.

    For some reason, he always felt that Xue Yan's move was a bit like drinking alcohol, and he didn't know who he was with.

    With such hesitation, he also drank the wine in the glass.

    Older red is especially mellow, but the wine is also very strong. Once it enters the throat, it is a burning aroma.

    Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan worriedly.

    He remembers, Xue Yan is not a good drinker...

    But the officials next to him are not like him, and have been with Xue Yan for so long.

     

    They don't even have the guts to talk to Xue Yan on weekdays, who would dare to toast him?

    I didn't expect that King Guangling would give face like this. Although he was still so expressionless and stern and fierce, he actually drank a whole glass of wine to save face.

    For a while, everyone understood.

    It turned out that when the feast was held, the King of Guangling did not chat with Duke Yongning very much, but because he liked drinking!

    Everyone who was ready to move immediately began to act.

     

    Unexpectedly, the King of Guangling did not refuse to come.

    Of course they don't know, this is because there is a man sitting opposite King Guangling who can calm him, make him unable to shake his face and lose his temper, and at the same time make him unspeakably jealous , I thought that King Guangling's wine table was so easy-going, giving them a chance to take advantage.

     Halfway through the banquet, Xue Yan's ears turned red.

     

    His eyes were a little red, and everyone seemed to have a cold anger at this moment. But today's liquor is strong, and these people at the wine table can drink to the top, and their observation skills have become dull, so they did not receive the danger signal from Xue Yan.

    Jun Huailang saw it.

     

    Xue Yan is already drinking too much, so he can't let him sit here any longer.

    He was pondering like this, when suddenly, Shen Zhifu got up with a glass of wine.

    There were only two people who could make him get up with the wine, and one of them was Jun Huailang's father, who had already left the table to drink tea.

    The rest is Xue Yan.

    Jun Huailang sighed, ignoring the half-drunk Shen Liufeng beside him, picked up his wine glass, got up and walked over.

     

    "Sir Shen, I'll give you a toast." Jun Huailang said with a light smile, raising his glass familiarly. "This year in Jinling, thanks to your care, I have learned a lot."

    In a few words, he brought the half-drunk Shen Zhifu with a drink and chatted with him.

    The two talked for a while about what they had seen and heard this year, and for a while about the water control notes copied by Jun Huailang. These were all Jun Huailang's good at. Easy to do.

     

    Shen Zhifu also admired him, and after drinking alcohol, he started to praise him without hesitation.

    "I always tell your father that you will have great prospects in the future! Look, you have not yet been crowned, but you have such insight! It is really you who have no children. Father's ability to teach such excellent children!"

    Jun Huailang echoed with a faint smile: "Sir Shen is wrongly praised, how can he deserve to be born late..."

    At this moment, a low hoarse voice sounded: "It's worth it."

    Jun Huailang paused, and saw His Royal Highness King Guangling sitting there, his expression cold and calm, but his eyes were red and his eyes were fixed on him.

    It was too much to drink.

    When Jun Huailang heard him interject, he was about to laugh, but his eyes burned for a while.

    He staggered his eyes a little frantically.

    Shen Zhifu, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Sure, even the prince admires His Highness the prince so much, it can be seen that the minister has a good eye!"

    Xue Yan didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear him, but still looked at Jun Huailang.

    Jun Huailang hurriedly clinked glasses with Shen Zhifu and drank the wine together with him.

    This will send Shen Zhifu away. As soon as he left, Jun Huailang put down the wine glass on the spot and said to Xue Yan, "My lord, it's a little hot in the boat, why don't you go out with me to blow the air?"

    Xue Yan, who didn't answer Shen Zhifu's words just now and didn't seem to hear it, now facing Jun Huailang, who spoke softly and his voice was almost drowned out, his hearing was particularly good. .

    "Yeah." He nodded without hesitation for a moment, and immediately stood up against the table.

    Everyone looked at him with a cold and solemn expression, but Jun Huailang saw that his men were not paying attention, and his legs were weak. in.

    …It really is so drunk that I can’t tell the difference.

    Jun Huailang stretched out his hand quickly and supported Xue Yan. But the others were tall and tall, with firm muscles and strong bones. At this moment, if they drank too much, they would be like a mountain, and Jun Huailang almost stumbled.

    He heard Xue Yan's inaudible tut, full of annoyance.

    Then, he sluggishly pulled out his arm, obviously knowing that he was pressing Jun Huailang, and he wanted to avoid it.

    Jun Huailang grabbed him.

    "Your Highness is not paying attention, let me support you." He said.

    Xue Yan did not speak, but like a big dog on a leash, he followed Jun Huailang out of the boat.

     Along the way, although he was swaying under his feet, he was tensing up the balance left after being drunk, trying to stabilize his figure, looking like he was facing a big enemy.

    Jun Huailang was teased by him and laughed softly.

    "Your Majesty drank too much," he said.

    When I got out of the boat, the surroundings became a lot quieter. The night wind in early summer was not cold, it blew softly on his face, and along with Jun Huailang's voice, brushed against Xue Yan's ear.

    So, Jinbao, who was standing outside the painting boat, saw Xue Yan like this.

      Said: "They always persuade me to drink."

    The irritability and impatience on her face was clear, but she softened a lot when facing Jun Huailang.

    Jinbao: ….

    He was blind.

    Jinbao had no choice but to pretend that he was blind and deaf.

    On the opposite side, His Royal Highness was quite patient. Hearing Xue Yan's words, the hand supporting his arm was calmed twice on his forearm, and said, "Next time Like this, it’s fine if you refuse, how can you drink all of them?”

    This kind of common sense does not need him to teach Xue Yan. But Jun Huailang couldn't help but say when he saw his unhappy appearance.

    Xue Yan hummed in a low voice, quite well-behaved.

    Jun Huailang carefully helped him across the bridge, and their carriages and horses were not far away. Seeing Jinbao coming up, Jun Huailang raised his head and said to Xue Yan, "The game has already passed most of the time, so it doesn't matter if you leave the table. Since the lord has drunk too much, why don't you go back first?"

    Speaking, he raised his hand to give Xue Yan to Jinbao.

    Jinbao dare not pick it up, he would rather pick up the machete that sees blood and seals his throat.

    Jinbao stepped back again and again, and Xue Yan also stood still.

    For a while, people couldn't send it out, Xue Yan still pressed heavily on Jun Huailang's shoulder.

    "Your Highness?" Jun Huailang thought he was asleep.

    But Xue Yan spoke.

    "You come with me."

     

    Jun Huailang was taken aback: "Me?"

    Xue Yan looked at him.

    Jun Huailang hurriedly said: "The banquet hasn't finished yet, and my father is still inside. The lord just go back first, and leave the rest to me. I will bid farewell to the prefect of Shen on behalf of the lord..."

    Xue Yan repeated: "You come back with me."

     

    Jinbao held his forehead.

    "You go together, Your Highness." He bowed forward resignedly and said with a smile. "The prince is drunk, you send him back, the servant will go to the prefect for you and make it clear to the grandfather of the country. Your Royal Highness can rest assured."
