Chapter 82: Toast without eating
Shen Qing'er is still beautiful and refined, with a beautiful face and a slightly cold temperament, it is easy to attract the attention of others and become the focus of attention.
At this time, the surrounding area is noisy, but she is like a lotus flower standing in a pond, blooming quietly, neither falling into the hustle and bustle, nor deliberately indifferent and alienated, and has an excellent grasp of proportion.
It was also because she grew up in the back door since she was a child and knew how to get along with the people around her in a good way, and when she received Wei Jing's invitation, she would come to this party with other Qinglan Academy disciples.
She never made herself look different, and she did, but of course, as for what others think, it wasn't for her to decide.
As for her impression, the peers of Qinglan Courtyard have always admired and envied her, even if she once opposed this group of people in the back mountain of the palace, everyone did not blame her too much. They thought more that she was defending Ye Chong, although the marriage contract was dissolved, but the Ye family was kind to the Shen family after all, so they all felt that her approach was understandable.
In the hearts of many people, she is still the proud daughter of Houmen who makes them look up to her, the goddess of Qinglan Temple.
It's just that with the recent rumors about her and the second prince spreading, many young disciples who were originally in awe and did not dare to violate were left with the mentality of being able to watch from afar.
Shen Qing'er had never explained this, but now standing with the second prince, she didn't seem close, as if they were just two disciples of Qinglan Academy, and they only had the friendship of the same sect.
Cheng Linghuo, who was standing beside her, was a little bored, his eyes passed through the crowd, and he unexpectedly saw Ye Chong who was holding a wine glass at this time.
"Ahh ”
Shen Qing'er followed her gaze and collided with Ye Chong's gaze, who was also looking at them.
Shen Qing'er's expression at this moment seemed to be a little complicated, as if she had thought of something, and the corners of her lips moved, but in the end, she didn't show anything, and smiled at Ye Chong from afar.
Ye Chong nodded, smiled back, and then continued to drink and laugh with Beitangmo, who came with a glass.
"The disciples of the two sessions of Qinglan Academy have arrived, it's lively enough. After Beitangmo drank a few glasses of wine, a flush had already risen on his face.
Except for the two who lost their lives in the back mountain, Liang Chengwu did not come. Qin Wuyue also turned his head and swept in the noise and said.
After Ye Chong and her open-hearted conversation that day, Qin Wuyue didn't have too many thoughts when she saw Shen Qing'er at this time.
Of course, she is a delicate girl, and even if she has ideas, she will not show them.
"Liang Chengwu's injury should be healed, he is the first in the last session of Qinglan Academy, although he was beaten by Ye Chong, but he is not wronged, now everyone knows that Ye Chong is powerful, and he will not think he is ashamed. How can this kind of thing be missing?"
Beitang Mo leaned his head on the table and whispered.
After all, it was a private conversation between friends, and he was to prevent it from being heard by the group of people in Qinglan Courtyard, which caused extraneous branches and ruined their wine.
Qin Wuyue glanced at Ye Chong at this time, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Liang Chengwu didn't come, it has nothing to do with him being beaten by Ye Chong, he didn't know that he would meet Ye Chong here, it's just that he is Liang Guozhang's grandson." And Liang Guozhang is the grandfather of the eldest prince Wei Chun, Wei Chun and him are cousins, Wei Jing and Wei Yang were born to the other concubines of King Wei, and now that Wei Chun is dead, their Liang family and the other two princes are all separated. ”
"Oh. Beitang Mo nodded thoughtfully.
Ye Chong couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and glanced at Qin Wuyue, this senior sister was raising eyebrows at him.
Qin Wuyue's words did not break it, there is another reason, that is, the relationship between Wei Jing and Shen Qing'er is not clear and the rumors are not clear, and Liang Chengwu himself is Shen Qing'er's follower, so he naturally can't get along with Wei Jing at the same banquet. Otherwise, it is inevitable that some people will have the idea of watching a good show and want to see conflicts break out between the two of them.
So at this time, if Liang Chengwu doesn't come, it is the best choice for anyone.
Because there were quite a lot of disciples in Qinglan Academy, Xianyue Building did not have a box large enough to accommodate all of them, so their meeting was held in the lobby of this floor.
Those disciples sat down in the lobby one after another, and Wei Jing was also quite proud at this time, generously ordered the famous dishes of Xianyue Tower, ordered the best wine, and talked and laughed with his fellow disciples who seemed to have no barriers.
Shen Qing'er and Cheng Linghuo are not at the same table as Wei Jing, they are all sitting at a separate table for girls, and Wei Jing is surrounded by Wang grandchildren from prominent families.
Of course, the disciples of Qinglan Academy also noticed Ye Chong and the others.
In fact, not long after entering the door, those disciples of Qinglan Academy had their eyes fall on Ye Chong's body many times, including Wei Jing.
But they didn't move, as if they hadn't seen it.
Of course, there were contradictions between them, and there were also many because of the strength that Ye Chong showed not long ago, which made them feel that there was a distance, so they deliberately avoided him at the moment, as if they didn't notice it at all.
Especially...... At a time when the rumors between the second prince and Shen Qing'er, who were invited today, were rampant.
In the beginning, the two groups of them were still water from each other's wells, and not with the waters of the river.
When the dishes on the table of the disciples of Qinglan Academy came up one by one, they began to draw fists, began to drink, and began to imagine their future lives and dreams.
The door to a box on the second floor opened, and several young men walked down in groups.
The leader is Dong Tianqi, the son of Da Sima.
"Second Prince!" Dong Tianqi came to Wei Jing's side with a pretended surprise face, "I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really fate!"
The other young people beside Dong Tianqi also looked like they had admired the second prince for a long time, as if their coincidental encounter was not arranged and planned in advance at all.
Wei Jing also smiled and got up at this time, "Since we met, let's have a few drinks together." ”
"It should, it should!"
Dong Tianqi and the others nodded one after another.
"We used to all graduate from Qinglan Academy, and we are all in the same class!"
"Are you guys at a party? I've heard that in a few days, many people will join the army, and they will become the mainstay of the defense of the country in the future, and we will contribute our strength and blood to the defense of the country together!"
Dong Tianqi and the others were all the best aristocratic children in Chaoge City now, and they were talking enthusiastically with the disciples of Qinglan Academy at this time.
And most of those Qinglan Academy disciples also regarded them as their goals and role models, admiring their officialdom adults' mannerisms, and they all felt honored and came up to toast one after another.
At this moment, Dong Tianqi and Wei Jing's original purpose had basically been achieved.
Dong Tianqi suddenly burped, then turned his head and said "Huh!" in his mouth.
"Isn't that Ye Chong from the Divine General Academy?" he squeezed out a face full of surprise and said, "They also came with you?"
"It's not. Wei Jing's eyes said meaningfully: "I'm also surprised." ”
Dong Tianqi smiled, "The son of the first assassin Ye Chonglou back then, and the disciple of the Divine General Academy favored by the Holy Maiden, I have to go and say hello." ”
He gave Wei Jing a confident look, then carried a small jar of wine, held a wine glass in his hand, and rushed towards Ye.
He walked very slowly, whether intentionally or unintentionally, his body was a little drunk, and even the saber at his waist shook gently with his steps.
Then many people's eyes were attracted to him, and more people fell on his destination, Ye Chong.
At this moment, it seemed that the banquet of the disciples of the Divine General Academy, who had been noisy, was a little quieter.
Shen Qing'er's beautiful and moving eyes flickered, as if she could guess Dong Tianqi's true purpose, and she grabbed her skirt under the table with both hands.
Ye Chong, who was originally drinking with Beitang Mo, also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and turned his head little by little, looking at the young man who was walking towards him.
While!
A wine jar landed heavily on the table in front of Ye Chong, and then with one hand, it climbed onto Ye Chong's shoulder.
Dong Tianqi's face was full of alcohol, patted Ye Chong's shoulder, squeezed out a smile full of white teeth, and said with a grin: "You are the Ye Chong who refused the invitation of the temple and overturned a lot of little children, right?"
So the atmosphere around is calmer.
a lot of little kids? It's more of a joke with the smell of alcohol, but there's an undisguised mockery in it.
Ye Chong looked at the hand pressed on his shoulder, and then at the unfamiliar face full of wine, and said, "Brother Tai, who are you?"
He didn't know Dong Tianqi, and he didn't know that when he was beating him at the gate of the Shenjiang Courtyard that day, Dong Tianqi was accompanying Wei Jing and peeping at everything in the teahouse opposite.
"It doesn't matter who I am!"
Dong Tianqi shook his head, listened to it and said: "You just think I am a person who admires you very much, and I have the courage to refuse the temple, just by virtue of this, I, Dong Tianqi, will obey you!"
He said as he filled his glass with wine.
Then he handed the wine glass to Ye Chong.
"Come, I'll toast you! You can't help but give me face!" Dong Tianqi deliberately amplified his voice when he spoke at this moment, and said: "I not only admire you, I also admire your father, Ye Chonglou! The number one assassin of the year! The reason why I chose to practice kendo in the first place was because of your father! I have always regarded him as my goal, but unfortunately...... He's useless!"
Dong Tianqi's face was full of pathos, but there was a hint of meanness in his words, "I have been working hard to cultivate, just to be able to fight him and see the demeanor of the first assassin, but now he has become a waste and hid in the ravine, which is really regrettable!"
After saying this, he frowned tightly and tilted his head to look at Ye Chong, "Why don't you drink, I respect you, you have to drink, you know that you not only represent yourself, but also represent your wasted father!"
As he spoke, he also handed the wine glass full of wine to Ye Chong's face.
The wine in the wine glass swayed, and it had already splashed on Ye Chong's face.
At this moment, Beitang Mo on the side was annoyed by this drunken maniac who inexplicably broke in, and was about to have a seizure, Qin Wuyue, who had heard the name Dong Tianqi at this moment, had a dark expression, and at this moment, the disciples of Qinglan Academy all widened their eyes, as if they saw a good show being staged.
At this moment, Wei Jing's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth hooked, Shen Qing'er's hands tightly clutched the dress, and Cheng Linghuo opened his mouth in surprise.
Boom!
There was a crunch.
I saw the wine glass that Dong Tianqi handed to Ye Chong's mouth, and suddenly flew out for some reason, fell to the ground, the glass shattered to the ground, and the wine soaked into the floor.
Then the room was quieter, and only the sound of breathing was left in the room.
Dong Tianqi took a step back, twisting his eyebrows to reveal an angry expression, "Ye Chong, what do you mean? I was kind enough to toast, but you didn't give face, and you knocked over my wine glass?!"
Ye Chong wiped his face splashed by the wine with his sleeves, still sitting calmly in his seat, turned his head to look at him, and chuckled: "This brother, you knocked over the cup yourself, don't blame me." But you should be glad you knocked over the glass yourself, otherwise I'd have poured that glass of wine all over your face!"
