Chapter 45: A Night of Drinking

After Li Donghai left, Gao Wei ushered in waves of guests. Most of them are some petty officials who are not particularly high-level, and Li Donghai, the Minister of Internal Affairs, is the highest-ranking person who came to Gao Wei here today.

It was getting late, and Gao Wei was also a little tired. It is very tiring to chat with some people, and you must always be on guard against other people's words, otherwise you will accidentally get into other people's traps. Seeing that it was getting late and late, Gao Wei ordered his house slaves to close the door and prepare to rest. Gao Wei was just about to take a break when a subordinate came to report that a guest was visiting outside the door.

Gao Wei was stunned for a moment, this time it was already time for dinner, and it was a very embarrassing time to tell the truth at this time. But the servant said something about this man, and Gao Wei told the servant to hurry up and invite someone in. This guest's surname is Xia, and what many people don't know is that the surname of today's royal family is Xia. The guest outside the door, even if not any prince or grandson, is also a figure who has anything to do with the royal family. Anything that has anything to do with the royal family, whether it is a person or a thing, Gao Wei must be careful. The water of the royal family is so deep that you will drown if you are not careful, and throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have died in this pool of water in the royal family.

Gao Wei personally greeted him out this time, or that sentence, the people of the royal family or things must be dealt with carefully. Gao Wei walked to the door, and there happened to be a person in the courtyard who was standing on the edge of a small tree and looking at the green leaves one after another.

"Gao Wei see His Royal Highness the Grand Prince. Gao Wei bowed and said.

I saw that this man smiled and said, "Why be polite? There is no prince here today, so the general might as well take off the coat used for defense." "The person who came was the eldest prince, although he looked ordinary, but the aura between his eyebrows was far from what those courtiers could conjure. is amiable on the face, but Gao Wei really doesn't dare to relax, no matter which prince it is, he has to deal with it carefully, otherwise it will not be a small matter.

"The Great Prince, please come in. "Anyway, it's always wrong to let people stand in the courtyard, Gao Wei politely invited the eldest prince into the room.

After entering the room, the eldest prince sat down casually and said, "I said, I am here today, I am not the eldest prince, the general just calls me Xia Yu." I'm a few years older than you, so call me Brother Xia!"

Gao Wei's face sank for a moment, but he still did what the eldest prince said. Anyway, let's see what the eldest prince plans to do first, and if there is really anything, it will only be a matter of improvisation.

"Brother Xia, why did you come to me?" Gao Wei said with a smile.

Xia Yu also smiled and said, "It's getting late, and it's already time to eat, of course I'm here to eat a meal." ”

Gao Wei was slightly stunned, this royal highness the eldest prince is different from the previous people, just said that he was here to eat? Gao Wei really didn't expect a royal prince to play like this. But since the eldest prince mentioned it, let's eat first. Eating a meal is not a big deal.

At the dinner table, it was just some ordinary meals, after all, Gao Wei didn't expect the eldest prince to come, there was only a plate of green vegetables, a plate of meat, and then rice on the table. But I didn't expect that just like this, which prince actually ate with relish.

"I've had a lot of good meals at the palace, and I've had a lot of good food, but I've never been comfortable. After eating the meal for a while, the eldest prince said, "Do you have any wine here?"

Gao Wei asked someone to bring another jar of wine. There are really no small wine pots and small wine glasses, Gao Wei is a soldier, and those drinking utensils are really unaccustomed to it. The eldest prince didn't pay attention to it, picked up the wine jar and drank it when it reached a big bowl.

After a bowl of wine, the eldest prince sighed: "I really envy you!" Gao Wei put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, looked at the eldest prince, and the eldest prince also put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Gao Wei and said: "In the palace, no matter what you eat or drink, someone will try it, for fear of poison!

Glancing at Gao Wei, the eldest prince smiled again and said, "I know that there are many people in the capital who don't like you, so you are on guard everywhere, but I tell you, I just want to spit out my bitterness with you and talk about my heart." Sighing, the eldest prince at this time looked actually sad, "You can't say these words to others, but you are different, you are a great hero of the empire, and you will leave the capital after a while! I don't have to worry, but with others, these words can't be said!"

Gao Wei nodded, but he was calculating in his heart what the purpose of this great prince was, but he really couldn't put any clue. It's just really like drinking and eating!

"Brother Xia, you told me that I was a friend, and said, What bitter water is pouring on my brother!" Gao Wei said proudly, but there is some green forest flavor.

The eldest prince patted Gao Wei on the shoulder and said, "Others see how rich and comfortable we are. But you're in our circle, you know we're not living that comfortable life!"

"Well, but Brother Xia, you're wrong! I'm Gao Wei, not in that circle!" Gao Wei said, talking in his heart with a good guy, he almost slipped over without paying attention!

The eldest prince drank several bowls of wine in a row, his face flushed, and said: "You say so now, but in the future, which circle you are in, it really doesn't matter if you say it!" waved his hand and continued, "Don't mention these today, I'm drinking, big bowls of wine, don't mention those circles standing in line or something!"

"Brother, we, the children of the royal family, are really unhappy! We can't even guard against our own brothers!" The eldest prince's eyes also turned a little red, as if he had thought of something, "I, sometimes I really envy those ordinary people, they can have brotherhood! What about us? Who can we trust?"

"I'll be honest, I haven't seen anything else in so many years, but I've seen a lot of roommates!

Gao Wei nodded, the royal family is ruthless, but how can anyone be ruthless by nature, isn't it forced by the situation? If you are not ruthless to others, then it is very likely that you will not be able to live now. Gao Wei chatted with the eldest prince for a long time and drank a lot of wine, and the eldest prince spent the night here in Gao Wei. Gao Wei has a very good feeling about the eldest prince, the eldest prince is very sincere, and he has a heart-to-heart with Gao Wei all night. This night, there was nothing to do, and there was nothing to talk about.
