It was very quiet here, only the slight sound of dishes and chopsticks could be heard.
At another seat across the screen, there was endless chatter and laughter, which reached Ling Jingshu's ears from time to time... It wasn't that Ling Jingshu wanted to eavesdrop, it was because they were too close, and she couldn't block her ears. It was impossible not to hear. .
The one who is high-spirited, chatting and laughing is of course none other than King Yan.
Being able to become the most favored prince by the Holy Emperor, and finally win the throne and become the emperor, His Highness the King of Yan is naturally not a simple person.
The grandson of the Emperor is a majestic and majestic young man who makes people tremble and fear him. However, King Yan can put down his posture and speak in a humorous and easy-going manner, which makes people let down their guard unconsciously.
After the meal, Ling Xiao and King Yan were already very familiar with each other as they talked.
Ling Jingshu sighed secretly in her heart.
Ling Xiao has always been raised in the inner house. Except for his cousins at home, he has almost never interacted with teenagers of the same age. King Yan has such skill in the city, so Ling Xiao is no match for him.
Imperial Physician Wei didn't talk much and only interrupted occasionally.
"Ling Xiao wants to cure his eye disease, so he shouldn't drink alcohol. Today, I will get drunk with Imperial Physician Wei." King Yan looked at Imperial Physician Wei, with a hint of ill-intention in his voice.
Imperial Physician Wei responded with an unchanging expression: "I'm afraid I will disappoint His Highness today. Firstly, Weichen is not good at drinking, and he can easily lose his temper when drunk. Secondly, Weichen has to return to the Imperial Hospital, and the Holy Emperor will summon Weichen into the palace at any time. . If a minor minister is drunk and misses the mark, he will be scolded at worst, and his head will be lost at worst. I hope Your Highness will not force others into trouble."
King Yan glanced sideways at Imperial Physician Wei, and said with a smile: "Imperial Physician Wei's rhetoric is very slippery. However, don't use these excuses in front of me. I know a little about your drinking capacity. Second, saying you are not good at drinking is just an excuse. Also, your father has always valued you, and your mother is very tolerant of you. Even if you get drunk occasionally, it will not be to the point of losing your head. "
When he said, "The queen is also very tolerant to you," King Yan's tone was a little weird.
Imperial Physician Wei's expression also changed slightly, and quickly returned to normal, and he responded calmly: "That's all! Since His Highness King Yan is so elegant, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."
Seeing that Doctor Wei was finally aroused, King Yan's eyes flashed with pleasure and complacency, and he immediately ordered the maid to serve wine.
I have long disliked this Imperial Physician Wei, and today he has to make a fool of himself in public and be carried back to the Imperial Hospital.
King Yan raised the corners of his lips in a conspiratorial manner.
Imperial Physician Wei saw all the changes in King Yan's expression and smiled coldly in his heart.
…
A row of slender and beautiful palace maids came over, each holding a tray with a wine bottle on it... Then they walked around the screen and brought it to King Yan's table.
A rough count shows that at least seven or eight bottles of wine were served.
Why are you having a drink again
Ling Jingshu frowned slightly.
Five days ago at the Prince's Mansion, King Yan and the Emperor's Grandson were extremely drunk. Although Ling Xiao had not touched a drop of wine, he had to stay with them until the banquet was over. Today, King Yan pretended to be drunk again. Regardless of how much Dr. Wei drank, he would not be able to leave for a while...
Jiang seemed to have guessed what Ling Jingshu was thinking, and patted Ling Jingshu's hand gently, and said in a low voice: "When you come, take care of yourself. Don't be in a hurry. Let's just wait a little longer."
When ladies from famous families come together, they compete with each other in appearance, temperament, and conversation. When the men get together, they want to compete with each other, and the best way is to compete in drinking capacity.
The last time the emperor's grandson and King Yan had a drinking contest, it was for Ling Jingshu.
This time King Yan provoked Imperial Physician Wei again... and it was clearly related to Ling Jingshu.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but joke in a low voice: "Ah Shu, if someone is willing to fight for me while I'm in the boudoir, I won't know how happy I will be."
King Yan wanted to have a drink with Dr. Wei, but Dr. Wei had no choice but to agree to King Yan. How did he get involved with her
Ling Jingshu's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended to be calm on her face: "It's their business if they want to fight for wine, why are they involving me again? Cousin-in-law, please stop joking."
Now is not the time to argue the matter.
Jiang pursed her lips and smiled and said nothing.
Ling Jingyan has been feeling quite depressed since she met the enchanting Ping'er. After taking a few bites of the meal, he put down his chopsticks and stared blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
It's like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted and without any energy.
Ling Jingshu thought for a while and guessed a little bit about Ling Jingyan's thoughts. She leaned into Ling Jingyan's ear and whispered: "Cousin Yan, don't be sad. Now that you see clearly, you can let it go completely, and you don't have to worry about it anymore in the future." ”
A thin layer of mist appeared in Ling Jingyan's eyes, and she hummed softly.
…
"Your Majesty!" After drinking a lot of wine, Doctor Wei's voice was still gentle and indifferent.
King Yan was overjoyed, and his tone returned to its original wanton and domineering tone: "Okay, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority at the banquet. One mouthful is for His Highness's humble minister, so what's the point of drinking? Come on, let's have a drink. .”
After drinking, King Yan began to feel that the wine glass was too small and was not satisfying to drink, so he asked the palace maid to change it to a larger wine bowl.
A jug of wine is just enough to pour four bowls. Two bowls per person, drinking happily.
King Yan was drinking and feeling very proud.
He goes to banquets every day, and his drinking capacity has long been developed. It's a bit exaggerated to say he won't get drunk after a thousand cups, but he is definitely no match for the idlers.
Imperial Physician Wei is just the opposite. He either stays in the Imperial Hospital or in the palace on weekdays and never attends any banquets. No one has ever seen Dr. Wei drink. How much alcohol can you get
snort!
Let’s see how Dr. Wei makes a fool of himself later!
King Yan was in a good mood as he thought about his success, and signaled the palace maid to continue pouring wine.
Doctor Wei frowned in embarrassment: "Your Highness, Wei Chen already feels dizzy, and he really can't drink anymore..."
"This little wine is nothing." King Yan waved his hand proudly: "I am very drunk, so don't let me down. Come on, come on, drink this bowl again."
Doctor Wei frowned and drank.
With the previous experience, Ling Xiao also knew that it was not appropriate to dissuade him at this time - looking at King Yan's attitude, it was useless to dissuade him! He couldn't see, and he didn't know the expressions of King Yan and Imperial Physician Wei at this time.
However, just listening to the voice, King Yan seems to be getting more and more verbose and his voice is getting louder and louder. The voice of Imperial Physician Wei was the same as always, neither high nor low, neither quick nor slow...
King Yan was still urging him to drink wine boldly. Every time before he drank, Imperial Physician Wei always had to give in helplessly for a moment before drinking "out of necessity".
So, who has the better drinking capacity, and who will get drunk first
Ling Xiao looked confused and thought uncertainly. (To be continued)
