Chapter 1144 Banquet in progress
The dispute between Xuanyuan Lie and Wang Han became louder and louder, and Gu Chunzhu also looked over there curiously.
Fortunately, the people who came to the banquet paid great attention to rules and politeness, so everyone sat in their seats and did not swarm up to watch.
So even though they were a little far away, Gu Chunzhu could still clearly see the tense scene where Xuanyuan Lie was confronting someone. At this time, Wang Han was so shameless by Xuanyuanlie that he wanted to rush up to beat Xuanyuanlie, but when he just clenched his fists and was about to charge up, Xiao Cheng rushed over and held down Wang Han's hand that was about to move. .
Xiao Cheng blocked Wang Han behind him, knowing that Xuanyuan Lie was not so clear-headed now, so he didn't say harsh words to stimulate him, lest Xuanyuan Lie's alcohol reek would get out of hand.
He calmly said to Xuanyuan Lie, "His Royal Highness, are you drunk?"
Xuanyuan Lie was still immersed in the anger of being rejected again, but when he was told that he was drunk, his attention was immediately diverted, and he immediately refuted loudly, "I'm not drunk! I can still drink!"
"Then, how many tables of students do you have yet to toast, Your Royal Highness, and I will go with you?" Xiao Cheng continued to divert Xuanyuan Lie's attention, and used himself to replace Wang Han to attract Xuanyuan Lie's inner anger.
After all, compared to Wang Han who met for the first time, Xuanyuan Lie, who was in a daze after drunk, cared more about Xiao Cheng, and he definitely didn't want Xiao Cheng to accompany him.
Xuanyuanlie really did what Xiaocheng thought, he resolutely rejected his proposal, and stopped paying attention to Wang Han, took the wine glass and took the pot of wine and continued to move forward. The small cost didn't want to toast, so he just watched Xuanyuan Lie stagger away from the spot.
Wang Han didn't speak again after Xiao Cheng came, and he was startled by his behavior just now when he came back to his senses. He didn't care about rejecting Xuanyuanlie's job as a matchmaker, but he was afraid that he would attack Xuanyuanlie, the royal family, unexpectedly. If Xiao Cheng hadn't stopped him before, I'm afraid he would have been caught and sent to the government office to be locked up by now.
His feet were weak now, and he sat back in his seat trembling. After gradually calming down, Wang Han got up again and came to Xiaocheng, "Fortunately, the emperor's eldest grandson rescued him, and Wang Han is very grateful."
"Relax, I think His Royal Highness is also drunk, and he will forget it when he wakes up." Xiao Cheng comforted the nervous Wang Han, and then returned to his seat. But he passed Gu Chunzhu's side, just exchanged a look with Gu Chunzhu, and then passed by.
Gu Chunzhu looked at Xuanyuan Lie's various behaviors, and was once again speechless for Xuanyuan Lie's brainlessness. She wondered whether Xuanyuan Lie really didn't understand or pretended not to understand people's hearts. Those scholars were all high-minded, and who would accept the alms like a gift from the prince in public. Not to mention sending a woman forcibly, it will only disturb the family and ruin the reputation, and no one will accept it.
After Xuanyuanlie was disturbed by Xiao Chengyi, he calmed down a little later, and Xuanyuanlie's confidant sent him hangover soup. After Xuanyuanlie woke up a little bit, he reminded his confidantes, in order not to increase chips for Xiaocheng in the opposite direction, Xuanyuanlie finally didn't send anything indiscriminately. However, the atmosphere of the banquet was still cold, except for a few villains, all the students accepted Xuanyuan Lie's toast with fake smiles.
Xuanyuan Lie finally finished his round here, and the banquet was in the middle of it.
Xuanyuan Lie returned to the head seat at the first table, and Xiao Cheng was sitting next to him. Although Xiao Cheng has no role in normal banquets, at least the fact that Xiao Cheng was hand-picked as the No. 1 scholar is used in his name. No matter how tired and helpless Xiao Cheng is, he can only keep it.
After Xuanyuan Lie came back, he took a look at Xiao Cheng who was sitting next to him, and then recalled that Xiao Cheng came to pretend to send him away just now, and then earned a wave of goodwill. Xuanyuan Lie's heart was filled with a bit of haze, he didn't want to let Xiao Cheng take advantage of it for nothing.
He refused to admit that he was stupid, and only believed that it was because he was drunk, so he had a plan.
He thought, Xiao Cheng hadn't had much experience in officialdom and personnel affairs, so he must not drink as much as he did. Why didn't he find someone to keep toasting to get Xiao Cheng drunk, and let Xiao Cheng make a big fool of himself after getting drunk! Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Lie arranged for his confidant to go to a good person to toast.
Afterwards, people kept coming to toast with Xiao Cheng, and everyone tried their best to make Xiao Cheng drink three glasses. Just walked for one round, and then played again in the next round. Following in the footsteps of the previous one, a little Cheng was not very familiar, probably a certain capital official of the fifth rank or lower appeared.
This official also received Xuanyuanlie's attention because he had a lot of money in his official position, and finally he was successfully pulled by Xuanyuanlie into his own faction. So after he knew that Xuanyuan Lie wanted to get Xiao Cheng drunk and took the task, he actively moved to Xiao Cheng's side. He had already made up his mind to use his shameless spirit to perform well in front of Xuan Yuan Lie.
The official first introduced himself to Xiao Cheng, and it turned out that he was a small official, surnamed Wu, who was the city magistrate of the capital. Then he flattered and flattered, "Your Highness the little prince really lives up to the heroic appearance of his parents. He can achieve such achievements at such a young age. He really is a heroic boy. In the future, His Highness the little prince will take care of us people a lot."
After speaking, he drank three glasses of wine boldly, and then looked at Xiao Cheng expectantly after drinking. Others still booed, and Xiao Cheng had no choice but to drink three glasses of wine along with him. In fact, Xiao Cheng didn't want to drink any more at this time, not because he was afraid of getting drunk, but because he wanted to leave the banquet to go to the toilet because of his bloated belly. Not getting drunk all depended on what he had, and Gu Chunzhu specially gave it to him for this banquet anti-alcoholic medicine.
Xiao Cheng thought that this man would leave after he finished speaking, but he didn't expect that Wu Shiling licked his face and complimented him a few more words, and then made some excuses to let him drink. Xiao Cheng went on to drink another cup, and at this time Xiao Cheng also realized the
after the meaning. Xiao Cheng glanced at Xuanyuan Lie from the corner of his eye, and then he pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and limply lay down on the table.
Seeing this scene, Wu Shiling's eyes started to shine, and he subconsciously wanted to turn his head to ask Xuanyuanlie for credit. However, he immediately realized that this behavior would easily bring criticism to Xuanyuan Lie, and he was also afraid that Xuanyuan Lie would not recognize his contribution because of this mistake.
So Wu Shiling turned his head and found a good reason at the same time. After looking at Xuanyuan Lie, he said earnestly, "His Royal Highness, I am really sorry. It seems that because the official is too excited and excited, let the little prince drink Drunk. Look at this..."
It was too late for Xuanyuanlie to be happy at this time, and he would definitely not follow Wu Shiling's words and blame him. Xuanyuan Lie also paid attention to restraining his excitement, and only smiled generously at Wu Shiling and said, "It's okay, I'll let someone take my son back to rest."
