It is said that those who are good at fighting will fight, and those who are good at drinking will drink. The girl drank more than 10 bowls of spirits and still did not get drunk. Is this considered a good drink? Your Highness, would you like to drink with civilians?

Father Morley looked at the shadows, focusing his attention on the two of them. He saw Sang Sang behind Ning Que, wearing the uniform of a servant. He asked unhappily, "Is that girl a student at the academy?"

Truth will always prevail. The students of the academy and Ning Que were just acquaintances. In fact, there is competition between them. Therefore, no one will try to hide the truth. Someone replied, "That's Ning Que's maid."

Priest Morley was enraged and roared, "This is an important farewell banquet for Crown Prince Yan. It's hard for us to get students from the academy here. How can you let a little maid in with you!

This anger is not staged, but a revelation of his true feelings. The Xishan Divine Kingdom has always been strict with the hierarchy. Attending the same banquet and drinking the same wine as a maid is the ultimate insult to those who live in the shrine all year round.

However, this is Chang'an, not the Xishan Divine Kingdom. Li Yu looked at the vice principal of the Revelation Academy indifferently, and said lightly: "I am close to Miss, she is my friend."

"The Tang royal family is indeed very polite. They don't even care about etiquette and rules. However, Your Highness, there are two royal families of Yan Kingdom and the royal family of my Xishan. Haven't you considered our feelings?

Priest Morley said angrily: "Is this how the Tang Dynasty treats guests?

Li Yu's face was gloomy when he heard this, "Today's banquet is to say goodbye to an old friend of mine. Who knows if someone will come uninvited. Unless that's how the West Hill guests behave? There are two kinds of guests, good and bad. If someone thinks that the Tang Dynasty is a bad host, they should first consider what kind of guest they belong to. If they still don't know, they should show it.

This is the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone, including Li Yu, couldn't help but lose to reason. However, if the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand, or was suppressed, no one would be able to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Father Morley was flushed with anger, but he didn't dare to say anything to Princess Tang, who seemed ready to vent her anger on him.

This battle of wits sounds more like a one-sided argument. Some people stopped the discussion after noticing the change in atmosphere. Prince Long Qing didn't seem to notice the anger of Priest Morly, nor did he feel the kind of power emanating from the princess. He silently looked around the corner, smiled, and raised the bowl of wine to his lips.

The celebration came to an abrupt end, and everyone looked around the corner. Sang Sang hid his face behind Ning Que and asked, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

Ning Que looked at his wine glass and the wine bowl used by Sangsang. He silently tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Is the wine good?"

Sangsang nodded, "Yes."

"Do you want more?"

"... Yes.

Ning Que raised his head, turned around and smiled at her, "Then continue to drink the bar."

Sang Sang looked a little shy and said, "With so many people watching, how can I secretly have a drink?"

"You don't have to drink secretly."

Ning Que raised his head and smiled brightly. His left dimple is deep enough to hold a wine bottle. He pulled Sangsang from behind and said, "Sit next to me and drink openly." Drink as much as you want until you can't drink anymore.

Sangsang hurriedly crossed his legs and sat down beside him. She smoothed the front of her shirt and lowered her head to avoid her gaze. She said softly, "What should I do?"

Ning Que looked at Li Yu, who was sitting across the courtyard. He held up his hands to her in a gesture of helplessness. Li Yu smiled and asked the students of the academy, "Who is the person who is going to enter the magic skills course on the second floor?" Are you all ready?

Since it was said by Her Royal Highness the Princess, everyone had no choice but to answer. Not to mention the students of the academy, who could guess the idea behind her question. Whether they were shocked or curious, there was nothing they could do but withdraw their gaze from the corner.

Sangsang didn't understand what that meant. All she knew was that no one was looking at her anymore and relaxed. However, the moment she did so, the faint aroma wafting from the bottle became even more enticing.

She looked at the bowl full of wine in front of her. Noticing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly grabbed the bowl with both hands, swallowed it in one gulp, and wiped her lips with her sleeve. Her hands quickly fell to her knees, as if nothing had happened.

Prince Longqing, who witnessed this scene from afar, smiled. His gaze fell on the ground not far from him, and he raised the bowl and drank.

...

...

It's a strange feast.

This was the farewell feast of the Crown Prince Yan, but the crown prince who smiled gently without saying a word was forgotten. The princess and the students of the academy are discussing the life of the academy and various large-scale events in the future. However, no one really paid attention to the content of this conversation. Everyone is thinking or sneaking a look at two places.

The handsome Prince Long Qing drank the liquor silently, his expression as if he was deep in thought. The tanned maid is as silent as a rabbit and keeps her head down even as she gulps down.

Prince Long Qing looked as if he was upset, and as he continued to drink, his expression became more serious. Sangsang's eyes brightened when he drank. The conversations scattered in the air and the sneaky eyes, as if they were also a little drunk, fell silently in these two places. It seems that no one is watching, but in reality, everyone is watching.

As a result of the order, the boss of the Shengli Mansion had to move all 30 barrels of liquor from the Furuyama Command to the backyard and leave them in the top two corners.

Sang Sang stayed in the pile of corpses for too long when he was a child, and that rainy day caused his physique to be cold. When she was sick, she could only stay alive by using alcohol to raise the temperature in her body. This is also the reason why Ning Que is used to carrying wine skins with him at any time.

Sangsang fell in love with drinking because she had relied on drinking to survive since she was a child. She also found that it was getting harder and harder for her to get drunk. It's just that the two of them were really poor when they were young. Even if they bought the cheapest soju in Minshan, the lowest quality mare's milk wine in the grassland, they couldn't drink to their heart's content. She has always loved spirits. However, the stronger the alcohol, the more expensive it is. Even if the two of them suddenly made a fortune in Chang'an, they didn't drink like they did tonight.

The Jiujiang Double Distilled Liquor of the Gushan Command is the strongest liquor in the world, and they can drink it without spending a penny. For Sangsang, who lived a hard life, this was the greatest joy of the kingdom.

One by one, the bottles on the table were emptied. She had forgotten why the young master had brought her here today. This is to meet some prince or another. She also forgot what kind of occasion and how many people had seen her. She just felt happier, and her eyes brightened with every drink.

Prince Longqing's wine was not slower than Sangsang's. A gloomy serious expression on his handsome face gave way to an indescribable interest and excitement that he had finally met his opponent.

More than 30 barrels were drained.

The people present looked at the empty bottles, and couldn't believe that the amount of alcohol that could kill several horses actually went into the stomachs of two people.

Prince Longqing did not use his own cultivation techniques to dispel his drunkenness. He drank more than a dozen bottles of wine, relaxing his usually indifferent expression. There was also some doubt in his eyes.

Sang Sang, who was sitting in the corner, had a flushed face and his stomach was so bloated by the wine. Her eyes were much brighter than usual. Other than that, however, she was quiet as usual, with no signs of drunkenness.

Ning Que looked at Prince Longqing, then at Sang Sang, and then laughed. He slammed the bottle with his chopsticks, making a sharp crisp sound. This is the voice of victory after the ceasefire.

Everyone was silent.

A hint of haze in the smell of wine cleared from Prince Long Qing's eyes. He looked at the corner indifferently and asked, "Young man, are you Ning Que?"

Ning Que stood up and replied, "That's true.

"That's your maid?"

"Yes."

"Reward her."

Ning Que and Sang Sang glanced at each other, noticing that there was not the slightest hesitation in each other's eyes. They smiled and politely replied, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Prince Longqing said to the attendants.

The Taoist priest of Xishan walked in front of them and looked at Ning Que gently. He said in a tone of reading the imperial decree: "The prince came to Chang'an to study and wanted to hire someone for his palace. Haotian has given you this glory. You now have the opportunity to treat your handmaiden as a servant of the prince. Quick, thank him for his mercy.
