Chapter 36: The Congratulatory Banquet (II)

Chen looked at Tang Yao with a smile and asked, "How old is Lord Tang this year?" ”

Tang Yao replied honestly, "Back to the queen's mother, Weichen is seventeen this year." ”

"At the age of seventeen, you can achieve such an achievement, and the future will definitely be extraordinary." Empress Chen bowed.

The woman in the pink palace dress beside Chen's side asked on the side without fear of causing trouble, "The concubine also thinks so, I don't know if Lord Tang is so old, can he marry?" ”

Tang Yao twitched in his heart, saying that he couldn't understand this question. She leaned over slightly and arched her hand, "Hui Niangniang, Weichen is still young, and the eldest husband should take it as his responsibility to govern the country and level the world, the world has not yet stabilized, how to start a family?" “

When the concubine heard this, she turned around and smiled at the emperor, "Your Majesty, take a look, a talent like Lord Tang, I don't have many people in Qi Yunguo." ”

Li Nannan smiled silently, and was quite satisfied with Tang Yao's answer.

The queen is not the master of the harem, and knowing how to observe words and colors is also a must-know skill, looking at everyone chatting like this, the hour is not early, she reminded out loud, "Your Majesty, today is a congratulatory banquet, if you continue to talk like this, wouldn't you miss today's theme?" ”

After Chen's mention, Li Nannan suddenly realized, clapped his hands and smiled, "It's my negligence, Xiao Quanzi, let's announce the start of the banquet." ”

Wang Quan, the chief eunuch who was waiting for Li Nannan, hurriedly announced aloud, "Congratulations on the opening of the banquet." ”

Tang Yao saw that the banquet was open, and it was not a matter for him to be here, so he asked Li Nannan for instructions and retired. When she returned to her seat, she saw Yu Chi Chenfeng sitting there quietly drinking alone. Look at other places, people toasting each other, complimenting each other, so lively.

She doesn't drink well, so this kind of excitement will not be enough. Thinking like this, Tang Yao walked to the original seat and sat down, and before he had just picked up the chopsticks and tasted the food on the table, Li Hengyu walked over with a smile. He picked up the wine jug in his hand and poured Tang Yao a full glass.

Tang Yao looked at the wine glass in front of him with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Hengyu suspiciously, and seemed to ask him what he wanted to do again! Li Hengyu smiled as a matter of course and said, "Look at what I do, you definitely want to drink this glass of wine today." ”

"Why?"

"Why are you asking me? You shouldn't have a drink on your big day? Saying that, Li Hengyu pushed the wine glass in front of Tang Yao.

"I don't drink enough, so I ask His Highness the Seventh to let it go." Tang Yao was silent and pushed the wine glass back.

"No, you have to drink this wine."

“.....”

Tang Yao looked at Li Hengyu, and then looked down at the wine in front of him. As if thinking about something very serious, she hesitated for a while, stiffened her head, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The hot liquid choked directly into her throat, Tang Yao couldn't help coughing lightly, and then picked up a dish in front of her and sent it to her mouth.

Li Hengyu was speechless for a while, and looked at her helplessly, "Dudao wine needs to be tasted carefully, you are good, you are stunned to pour good wine like white water, this is the best thyme." ”

Tang Yao said, "What kind of good wine is white water for me!" ”

"A poor sour boy is a poor sour boy, it's really a tyrannical thing." Li Hengyu shook his head and complained.

When Tang Yao heard this, his face fell directly. Li Hengyu estimated that seeing Tang Yao's face was not good, he directly carried the wine jug to find Yu Chi Chenfeng at the next table, "Chenfeng, why are you drinking here alone?" Come on, I'll be with you. ”

Yu Chichenfeng drank two glasses, put down the wine glass, and saw Li Hengyu come over cheekily, and said with a chuckle, "Wine hurts your body a lot, so it's better for you not to drink it again." Yu Chichenfeng's words, Tang Yao agreed very, very much, she vaguely remembered a sentence, called a small drink can cultivate sentiment, and a big drink is an alcoholic.

"What's that, I think he should drink a few more cups today." Li Hengyu shook his hand and pointed at Tang Yao, the congratulatory banquet is a banquet for the new champion, how many reasons are there for this protagonist not to drink? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, so he continued to pour wine into Tang Yao's wine glass.

"Seventh brother, why don't you call us when you're looking for the protagonist to drink here?" Several gorgeously dressed men stood not far away, each holding a wine glass and looking at the three people on Li Hengyu's side with a smile.

"Prince, why are you here?" Li Hengyu's face was shocked, and he hurriedly stood up and greeted him. Tang Yao silently cast his eyes on the person who was called the prince by Li Hengyu, the person had a handsome face, and was surrounded by everyone with a graceful demeanor, that Qinghua's graceful appearance, and innate temperament, but there was a bit of the momentum of the prince.

However, the faint gloom in Li Siyang's eyes made Tang Yao very uncomfortable. If she remembers correctly, this person is the son of Empress Chen and the crown prince of Qi Yunguo, Li Siyang.

"The second brother said that the new champion is outstanding, so I thought about making friends, you are good, you came to have fun first?" Li Siyang scolded with a smile.

"Too.. Prince... I'm just..."

The man in blue on the side also smiled and said, "I'll just say how the seventh brother has changed his temperament now, it turns out that he has already met the new champion." Before, you were clamoring to go to Nanshan Academy, but your father couldn't understand it, but now it seems to be the same. ”

"III . Elder brother... What are you talking about? Li Hengyu hurriedly stood up, his handsome face looked a little nervous. Tang Yao instinctively wanted to slap him in the face, what kind of reaction did you have, what kind of behavior did you hurriedly cover up, wouldn't it be misunderstood! Li Hengyu, Li Hengyu, how did you find that your IQ is getting lower and lower?

The third prince, Li Zhaoyi, asked without answering, "What do you say I'm talking about?" ”

The second prince, Li Yao, took a step forward and looked at Tang Yao, who had been sitting there and listening to their conversation calmly, "It turns out that this is Tang Ziyao, the champion of the new department, um.." In my opinion, he does look like a smart man with a brain. ”

Like a... Clever people with brains! What did these two princes say! Where is she Tang Yao brainless!

The sixth prince, Li Yanyue, also stepped forward to watch Tang Yao, and asked loudly, "You are Tang Ziyao, the new champion appointed by your father?" ”

Ignoring that he was being watched by the second generation of emperors like a monkey, Tang Yao stood up slowly, bowed to the crowd, and said, "Weichen Tang Ziyao greets all the princes and princes." ”

Li Siyang on the side waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." ”

Tang Yao stood up, and seeing that the crowd was still looking at herself like monkeys, she glanced at Li Hengyu a little speechlessly, and motioned for him to react. She is a person, and she is not a monster with teeth and claws, have these second generations of emperors never seen anyone or how to drop?

Fortunately, Li Hengyu was not stupid, and he reacted immediately. He walked to Tang Yao's side in a few steps, looked at Li Siyang and said, "Prince, I think it's a good night today, why don't we go outside the palace to admire the moon." ”

Very good proposal, so that everyone was full of interest, immediately got up and prepared to go out. The second generation of the emperor wants to see the scenery, and Tang Yao naturally can't escape. She subconsciously went to see Yu Chi Chenfeng, hoping that her boss could say something, so as to give her a chance to slip away, who knew that the seat next to her was empty, and she had long been unable to see Yu Chi Chenfeng's figure.

He... When did you leave?

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, talking about such a scene now. Li Hengyu's second generation of emperors seemed to be in a good mood, and they couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. Tang Yao looked at the full wine in her hand a little helplessly, if she drank it again, she would definitely go crazy with alcohol.

I really wanted to pour the wine, but Li Siyang and a few people looked at her, even if they wanted to fake it, they couldn't do it.

"Ziyao, drink quickly, I'll leave you." The sixth prince, Li Yanyue, was the same age as Li Hengyu, and after a while, he became familiar with Tang Yao.

"The congratulatory banquet of the new champion, if you don't drink a few more glasses, it will be rude." The second prince, Li Yao, answered.

Rude! Okay, you are all the second generation of the emperor, she just works for your family, so naturally what you say is what it is! After drinking another glass of wine, Tang Yao felt that his footsteps began to float. She shook her head violently, trying to sober herself up. You must not drink it, and if you drink it again, you may reveal the filling.

She squinted at the second generation of the emperor who were also drinking, forcibly stabilized her steps, and wanted to leave first. After just taking three steps, Li Yanyue grabbed Tang Yao's hand and asked drunkenly, "Ziyao, where are you going?" ”

Tang Yao's first reaction was to raise his hand and pat his head, and said with some embarrassment, "I.. I'm going to untie my hands. ”

"Then you should come back quickly."

"I'll be right back, I'll be soon."

finally slipped out, and Tang Yao walked directly outside the palace gate. The feeling of swaying three steps is really uncomfortable, but when you step on the ground, it is as soft as cotton. Tang Yao lingered in the palace for a long time, but he didn't find the direction of the palace gate.

She looked at the familiar garden around her in annoyance, she really couldn't understand, why couldn't she get out.

"Uncle, why haven't you left the imperial garden yet?" She shouted angrily. Tang Yao half-shook and half-staggered in a big circle, and actually arrived in a pavilion, and finally found a place to sit by holding on to the pillar, she leaned towards the beauty, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she became unconscious.

The night is like a thick inkstone, deep and indissolvable. There are fewer palace people walking around in the garden, and it is naturally much quieter. Li Yanhan walked straight on the path of the Imperial Garden, sometimes he raised his eyes to look at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, and sometimes lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

Unconsciously, the smell of wine on his body had dissipated a lot, and he was wearing a navy blue robe, standing in the moonlight, looking particularly cold. The close-fitting servant trotted over from a distance, and saw his face with joy, "Fourth prince, the slave can be regarded as finding you, the emperor is invited." ”

He bowed his head slightly, but the moment he turned around, he saw Tang Yao, who was a drunken mess in the pavilion, lying there sleeping. He paused slightly, glanced at the people in the pavilion with some disgust, and said coldly to the little servant, "This king knows, you go down first." ”

"Yes, the minions obey."
