Shen Zhifu has always been the most observant, and the most knowledgeable of the world. This is recognized by the officials in Jiangnan, and it is also clear to Shen Zhifu himself.

Since His Royal Highness King Guangling is in a bad mood today, it will naturally make him feel better.

According to Shen Zhifu's observation during this period of time, His Royal Highness King Guangling is not close to beauty, and he is not fond of flattery, and he has too much money to spend.

The only thing is that at the reception banquet at that time, His Royal Highness King Guangling seemed to like drinking.

Follow Yong Ning Gong, you and I have a cup, and drink it until the end of the banquet, and your legs are smashed.

Therefore, when the officials took their seats, Shen Zhifu went to find the owner of the painting boat, and relying on his many years of favor, he asked him to ask for several jars of old wine red.

The river fish caught in this Slender West Lake is the best drink. In particular, there is a fish that is made of wine lees, and when one end is served, the table is full of fragrant aromas.

Xue Yan frowned without a trace.

Duke Yongning respects the rules. Although Jun Huailang has a detached status and is more valuable than the officials present, but he has no official title, Duke Yongning let him sit next to Shen Liufeng.

Xue Yan sat at the top, across the big table, the two happened to face each other.

When the lees fish came up, Jun Huailang had already seen Xue Yan frowning, but then the table was opened.

There is a posture that Xue Yan will definitely have a good time today.

Shen Liufeng also picked up the wine and had a drink with Jun Huailang.

"My uncle found good wine today!" Shen Liufeng said. "Huailang, you can drink more today."

Jun Huailang responded with a smile and had a cup of tea with him.

But then, out of the corner of his eyes, he met Xue Yan's gaze.

Jun Huailang paused and subconsciously looked sideways at him.

Seeing Xue Yan immediately withdrew his gaze, as if the staring just now was just an illusion. Just at this moment, Xue Yan and Shen Zhifu had a cup of wine, Xue Yan lifted the glass, raised his head, and drank the glass of wine.

When Shen Zhifu saw it, he had a bottom line in his heart.

Sure enough, what he guessed was right, this His Royal Highness King Guangling was just like his nephew, just greedy for this drink.

But Jun Huailang in the distance was stunned.

For some reason, he always felt that Xue Yan's move was a bit like drinking alcohol, and he didn't know who was angry with him.

Hesitating so much, he also drank the wine in the cup.

The aged daughter red is particularly mellow, but the wine is also very strong. As soon as it enters the throat, it is a burst of burning fragrance.

Jun Huailang couldn't help but glanced at Xue Yan worriedly.

He remembered that Xue Yan was not drinking well...

But the officials next to him are not like him, and they have been with Xue Yan for so long.

All of them are human beings, who watch their eyes and noses and their hearts. As early as when Shen Zhifu went to toast, they were already carefully observing the movements over there.

They don't even have the courage to talk to Xue Yan on weekdays. Who would dare to toast him?

Unexpectedly, the King of Guangling would give face like this. Although he was still so expressionless and stern and fierce, he actually drank a whole glass of wine to save face.

For a while, everyone understood.

It turned out that King Guangling didn't chat with Duke Yongning very much during the reception of the wind banquet, but because he liked drinking!

Everyone who was ready to move immediately began to act.

One or two, would not even dare to look at the face of King Guangling on weekdays, but now someone opened his mouth and went forward to toast one by two.

Unexpectedly, the King of Guangling did not refuse anyone who came.

Naturally, they didn't know that this was because there was a man sitting opposite King Guangling who could calm him, make him unable to shake his face and lose his temper, and at the same time made him unspeakably jealous, thinking that King Guangling was on the wine table. Just being so easy-going gave them a chance.

Halfway through the banquet, Xue Yan's ears turned red.

He has a bad temper, and now he is drunk, and his aura that strangers should not be approached suddenly burst out.

His eyes were a little red from drinking, and everyone was looking at him with a cold hostility. But today's liquor is strong, and these people at the wine table can drink to the top, and their observation skills have become dull, so they did not receive the danger signal from Xue Yan.

Jun Huailang saw it.

He has always known that in the second half of the officialdom, few people can control the situation, and they will only drink more and more.

Xue Yan was already drinking too much, so he couldn't let him sit here any longer.

He was pondering like this, when suddenly, Shen Zhifu stood up again with a glass of wine.

There were only two people present who could make him get up with the wine, and one of them was Jun Huailang's father, who had already left the table to drink tea.

The rest is Xue Yan.

Jun Huailang sighed, ignoring Shen Liufeng who was half-drunk beside him, picked up his wine glass, got up and walked over.

He was good at drinking and walked fast, and just before Shen Zhifu gave Xue Yan a toast, he intercepted his glass.

"Sir Shen, I'll give you a toast." Jun Huailang said with a light smile, raising his glass familiarly. "This year in Jinling, thanks to your care, I have learned a lot."

After a few words, he brought the half-drunk Shen Zhifu to chat with him with the wine.

The two talked for a while about what they had seen and heard this year, and for a while about the notes on water control that Jun Huailang had copied. These were all Jun Huailang's good at.

But he didn't notice that there was a burning gaze on the side, with a stubborn stubbornness that was not seen in normal times, and he never left him since he walked here.

Shen Zhifu also admired him, and after drinking alcohol, he started to praise him without hesitation.

"I always tell your father that you will have great prospects in the future! Look at you, you have not yet been crowned, but you have such insight! It is really your father's ability to teach such a Excellent kids come!"

Jun Huailang lightly smiled and said, "Sir Shen is so wrong, how can I deserve to be born late..."

At this moment, a low hoarse voice sounded: "It's worth it."

Jun Huailang paused, and saw His Royal Highness King Guangling sitting there, his expression cold and calm, but his eyes were red, and his eyes were fixed on him.

It looks like you've been drinking too much.

When Jun Huailang heard him interrupt, he was about to laugh, but his eyes burned for a while.

He staggered his eyes a little in a hurry.

Shen Zhifu, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Sure enough, even the prince admires His Royal Highness so much, it can be seen that this minister has a good eye!"

Xue Yan was silent, as if he didn't hear him, but still looked at Jun Huailang.

Jun Huailang hurriedly clinked a glass with Shen Zhifu, and drank the wine together with him.

Only then did Shen Zhifu go away. As soon as he left, Jun Huailang put down the wine glass on the spot and said to Xue Yan, "My lord, it's a little hot in the boat, why don't you go out with me to blow the air?"

Xue Yan, who didn't answer Shen Zhifu's words just now, didn't seem to hear it, but now facing Jun Huailang, who spoke softly and his voice was almost drowned out, he seemed to have a particularly good hearing.

"Well." He nodded, without hesitating for a moment, he immediately stood up against the table.

When everyone looked at him, they were all cold and solemn, but Jun Huailang saw that his subordinates were not paying attention, and his legs were weak.

... really drunk and can't tell the difference.

Jun Huailang quickly stretched out his hand and supported Xue Yan. But the others were tall and big, with firm muscles and strong bones. At this moment, if they drank too much, they would be like a mountain, and Jun Huailang almost stumbled.

He heard Xue Yan's inaudible tut, full of annoyance.

Then, he sluggishly pulled out his arm, obviously knowing that he was pressing Jun Huailang, so he wanted to dodge.

Jun Huailang grabbed him.

"Your Highness is inattentive, so let me support you," he said.

Xue Yan didn't speak when he heard the words, but like a big dog on a leash, he followed Jun Huailang out of the boat.

Along the way, although he fluttered under his feet, he stretched the only sense of balance left after being drunk, and tried hard to stabilize his body, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Jun Huailang was teased by him and laughed softly.

"Your Highness must have been drinking too much," he said.

After getting out of the boat, the surroundings became quiet for a while. The night wind in early summer was not cold, and it blew softly on his face, and along with Jun Huailang's voice, brushed against Xue Yan's ear.

So, Jinbao, who was standing outside the painting boat, saw Xue Yan like this.

A tall, tall man who is half a head taller than Jun Huailang, but now he is leaning on top of him, looking at him with his head slightly lowered, his brows furrowed, and he whispers, "They always persuade me to drink alcohol. ."

The irritability and impatience on his face was clear, but when he faced Jun Huailang, he softened a lot, and for a while he acted like a coquettish tiger.

Jinbao: …….

He was blind.

Jinbao had no choice but to think that he was blind and deaf.

On the opposite side, His Royal Highness was quite patient. Hearing Xue Yan's words, the hand supporting his arm was smoothed twice on his forearm as if to comfort him, and said, "Next time it's like this, it's good to say no. How can you drink all of them?"

This kind of common sense naturally does not need him to teach Xue Yan. But Jun Huailang couldn't help but say when he saw his unhappy appearance.

Xue Yan hummed in a low voice, quite well-behaved.

Jun Huailang carefully helped him across the bridge, and their carriages and horses were not far away. Seeing Jinbao coming up, Jun Huailang raised his head and said to Xue Yan, "The game has already passed most of the time, so it doesn't matter if you leave the table. Since the lord has drunk too much, why don't you go back first?"

Saying that, he raised his hand to give Xue Yan to Jinbao.

Jin Bao didn't dare to pick it up, he would rather pick up the machete with blood and seal his throat with his bare hands.

Jinbao stepped back again and again, but Xue Yan also stood still.

For a while, people couldn't send it out, and Xue Yan still pressed heavily on Jun Huailang's shoulder.

"Your Highness?" Jun Huailang thought he was asleep.

However, Xue Yan opened his mouth.

"You come with me."

It's a declarative sentence, and it's loud, and it doesn't give the slightest room for doubts and rebuttals.

Jun Huailang was taken aback: "Me?"

Xue Yan fixedly looked at him.

Jun Huailang hurriedly said: "The banquet hasn't finished yet, and my father is still inside. The lord just go back first, and leave the rest to me. I will bid farewell to the Shen Zhifu on behalf of the lord..."

Xue Yan repeated: "You come back with me."

This time, in the tired drunken state of his voice, he was a little more stubborn, like a child who cheated on others.

Jinbao rubbed his forehead.

"You go together, Your Highness." He bowed forward resignedly and said with a smile."The prince is drunk, you send him back, the servant will go to the prefect for you and make it clear to the grandfather of the country. Your Royal Highness can rest assured."
