Although since ancient times, wine has been used as a ritual to sacrifice to heaven and earth, but there is still a big difference between sacrifice and drinking. Zhu Xuan's words are totally fallacious.
But Zhu Feng laughed.
Said: "Lao Qi, you really are a master of wine."
"With the emperor here, how dare my younger brother?"
The two of them laughed again while talking, Zhu Feng waved his hand at Ye Zheng, and said, "Okay, I know what's in my mind, I don't need to persuade you tonight."
After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass: "Come again."
The attendant behind him immediately came up to pour wine for the two of them again, and they drank it glass by glass, and after a while, their faces were all blushing.
As for Zhu Xuan's eyes, I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, they became brighter.
He looked at Zhu Feng with a hint of a smile besides the smell of alcohol on his mouth.
Seeing this situation, Ye Zheng could only retreat.
Everyone originally wanted to persuade them, but seeing that even Ye Zheng couldn't persuade them, they could only keep silent.
Only the queen Xu Miaoyin, who was sitting beside Zhu Feng, said in a worried voice, "The emperor still needs to take care of the dragon's body."
Once a person starts to drink, he will not listen to persuasion.
Zhu Feng frowned, with an impatient expression on his face, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, I know it myself."
Xu Miaoyin could only sigh and bow her head.
Although everyone was worried, the atmosphere of the banquet was very good. The two people in the upper seat drank one cup after another, and the officials below naturally had to accompany each other.
Looking at this scene, Nan Yan felt that even the queen couldn't persuade herself, and she had no room to speak.
She frowned and looked across again.
Jian Ruocheng also held a wine glass in his hand, but he didn't drink much, just took a few sips, his cheeks were slightly reddened.
As if sensing his gaze, he also raised his head.
Then, she smiled faintly at Nan Yan.
Normally, Nan Yan would smile back at him out of politeness, but at this time, Nan Yan really couldn't laugh.
Above the lobby, they were far apart on the left and right.
However, there are not as many people and things between them these days.
I don't know how long it took, the sky became darker and darker, and the banquet gradually came to an end. Both Zhu Feng and Zhu Xuan drank a lot, their faces were flushed, and when they stood up, they staggered a little.
Xu Miaoyin was so worried that she hurriedly supported him.
But Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and pushed it away: "Don't help me, I'm not drunk."
Only a really drunk person would say something like that.
Looking at Zhu Feng's current appearance, Nan Yan couldn't help frowning, and walked forward, but at this time, Zhu Xuan on the other side smiled and said: "The emperor is not drunk, just a little drunk. Come on, Serve the emperor tea."
"Need not."
Zhu Feng waved his hand: "Zhen, I don't drink tea."
"How can you not drink tea?"
"I don't want to drink."
At this time, the concubine Li Fengshu who was originally sitting at the bottom came forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, let's drink some tea at my concubine's place. Although your Majesty is not drunk, it's good to get rid of the alcohol."
As soon as she heard her speak, the faces of the concubines in the lobby showed anger.
Nan Yan frowned, and turned to look at her.
This woman, she's coming—
Nan Yan gritted her teeth and said, "No need."
"Okay." Almost at the same time Nan Yan spoke, Zhu Feng also spoke. Nan Yan's heart sank and she turned to look at him.
Seeing Zhu Feng's drunken eyes, he glanced at Concubine Li and said, "Forget it, I'll go to your place."
"..."
Nanyan's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a word, but when Concubine Li heard Zhu Feng's words, she immediately stepped forward happily, and even pushed aside Xu Miaoyin who was beside her, helping her. Grab Zhu Feng's arm: "Your Majesty, be careful."
Zhu Xuan was at the side, and put most of his body on the maid Tian'er beside him, and said with a big smile: "The emperor has some tea to hangover, but my brother... I don't know what to do tonight."
Zhu Feng also laughed.
He waved his hand, as if to let those who stood in front of him go away, and said, "Let's go, we're all going back, tomorrow morning, we still have to hurry."
He, he has not forgotten, tomorrow...
Nan Yan silently took a step back.
Concubine Li supported Zhu Feng to come out from behind the table, and when she walked past her, seemingly intentionally or not, she bumped her with the shoulder, Nan Yan staggered and took a step back.
At this time, a warm hand behind her supported her.
Looking back, it was Jian Ruocheng.
He didn't know when he was already standing behind him.
Nan Yan looked at him, feeling a little dazed for a moment, not knowing what to say, but Jian Ruocheng's warm hand rested on her shoulder for a while, and was about to move away, when Zhu Feng turned his head and faced them Said: "Everyone back off—"
His eyes seemed to be looking towards this side.
Jian Ruocheng immediately retracted her hand.
But immediately, Zhu Feng seemed to have seen nothing, but his eyes were slightly reddened by tonight's strong wine, probably because he drank too much alcohol, the smell of alcohol was on his face, and his tone became pale. Displeased: "Let's all go!"
"yes."
Everyone didn't dare to say anything, so they could only agree one after another, and then everyone left the brightly lit lobby.
It was already completely dark, and as an aide of King Ning, Jian Ruocheng led people to personally escort the queen and noble concubine to the backyard.
Along the way, no one said a word.
There are only the sound of footsteps and the slight shaking of the lantern, which brings the illusion that the mountains are shaking and the ground is shaking.
They first went to the queen's residence.
Jian Ruocheng sent Xu Miaoyin to the door, and then bowed to salute: "Please rest early, empress."
"..."
Xu Miaoyin looked back at him.
Under the dim light, her eyes were also very dim, as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated for a while, but she didn't say anything after all.
He only said calmly: "Jian Da—Young Master Jian has worked hard."
"Don't dare."
Xu Miaoyin sighed, turned and walked in.
Only then did Jian Ruocheng walk up to Nan Yan again, but he didn't look at her, just lowered his head, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please."
Nan Yan turned around and walked towards her courtyard.
This road will pass through Zhu Feng's residence.
When they passed by the gate, they saw that the lights inside had already been turned on, faintly casting the shadows of the two of them onto the window.
However, because it was too far away and the light was too dark, the shadows of the two seemed to be entangled.
Nan Yan only glanced at it, then turned her head away.
He walked silently back to his residence.
When she reached the door, she turned her head and said to Jian Ruocheng: "Tonight, thank you, Second Young Master, you should go back and rest earlier."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng didn't answer her immediately, but held the lantern in his hand, and looked at her seriously under the dim light.
Nan Yandao: "Second Young Master, is there anything else you want to say?"
