Chapter 79 Drunk

After the Spring Examination, the students jumped out. Some looked pale, some were ecstatic, and some were as calm as water like Chen Mansheng and Shen Chuo.

"Let's go, let's go. Go back and wash up. We'll go to Zui Xiang Lou tonight. I've prepared a celebration banquet for you two!" Ling Qingyan said.

Chen Mansheng laughed: "The results haven't been announced yet. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to have a celebration banquet now, Your Highness?"

Chen Chuo was very flattering, "Sister, Your Highness is so kind, we shouldn't refuse."

Ling Qingyan said with an expression that said, "You know how to talk, kid." "That's right, Mansheng, the celebration banquet I prepared isn't based on whether or not you're on the Spring Examination list."

"What is that?"

Shen Chuo also set his eyes on her.

"Of course, I'm celebrating the two of you successfully completing the Spring Examination." Ling Qingyan counted on her fingers. "Look, the Spring Examination is so tough. It's inconvenient to do anything, and you have to stay there for many days. I feel really good about you guys for successfully completing it!"

Ling Qingyan acted like a very open-minded parent: "As for the results and grades, they are not important. Just let it go. We have done our best."

"Let's drink and enjoy ourselves today. Let's go. We've prepared this a long time in advance." Ling Qingyan took Chen Mansheng's arm and gave a glance, signaling Chen Chuo to follow.

The three of them came to Zui Xiang Lou.

The mission is nearing its end, and Ling Qingyan doesn't know how many more meals she can have with her friends, so she cherishes every remaining time of companionship.

On the table, there were dishes that Ling Qingyan liked to eat, dishes that Chen Mansheng liked to eat, and dishes that Xi Lan had inquired about from the servants of the Duke's Mansion about Chen Chuo's favorite food.

She is quite thoughtful. Although Chen Chuo is not as close to her as Mansheng, he is still a friend. The team led by Ling Qingyan will take care of every friend.

Normally, there will be no situation where people are left out.

Ling Qingyan moved closer to the two of them, blinked, and said with a smile, "Do you mind if Xilan and Hanqi eat with us?"

Xi Lan and Han Qi helped her a lot. Ling Qingyan treated them more as friends than master and servant. Anyway, they were outside the palace, so she wanted them to sit down and have a meal with her.

But she still had to consider Mansheng and Shen Chuo, because she herself knew that her thoughts were different from theirs, and Ling Qingyan could not offend them.

If she saw any uncomfortable expressions on their faces, Ling Qingyan would not carry out her idea and she could invite them separately.

It's a farewell to this world.

"As long as Your Highness doesn't mind, it doesn't bother me." Chen Mansheng said with a smile.

Chen Mansheng knew that Her Highness was very kind to the people around her and she had a very warm heart.

"Me too, Your Highness, please do as you please."

Both are wonderful people.

Ling Qingyan felt warm in her heart.

She called Xilan and Hanqi and asked them to sit down and have dinner with her.

"How can this be done, Your Highness? This, this, this... is inappropriate." Xi Lan refused.

His Highness has changed a lot since he fell into the water. He has become much more lively, his mentality has become more open, and he has become quite clear-headed overnight.

She had seen this in a picture book before; people called it chance.

His Highness is a man of great fortune. If opportunities are also divided into levels, she thinks that His Highness's opportunities should be at the highest level.

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate." Han Qi also spoke.

Ling Qingyan pinched her waist, feeling quite helpless, then she cleared her throat.

The young girl stood in the private room, and said with a delicate and reserved look, "Ahem, I command you to dine with me!"

Her tone was firm and unyielding, but she had a smile on her face, and it was clear that she was not angry at all.

It was obviously a joke.

And he seems very easy to get along with.

Ling Qingyan just stared at the two of them.

Xilan stole a glance at Han Qi, but Han Qi seemed to be frozen, his cheeks slightly red, staring straight ahead.

Regardless of Han Qi's reaction, this was the first time Xi Lan did something so unruly.

"Xi Lan thanks His Highness."

Han Qi clenched his fists tightly, and seemed to be struggling inside.

Ling Qingyan patted him.

"Could it be that my royal brother gave you some perverted order, not allowing you to have dinner with me?" Ling Qingyan raised her voice slightly.

"No, but Your Highness, this is against the rules. Moreover, the order given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to his subordinates is to protect Your Highness. Eating at the same table with Your Highness is really an overstepping of authority." Han Qi was like a nailed wood, and he was sweating.

Ling Qingyan smiled: "Did he still ask you to obey my orders?"

Han Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."

"That's all. Sit down and let's have a good meal. If my brother wants to blame someone, let him blame me."

"But..." Ling Qingyan looked at him with a smile, "You don't have to tell him."

"He asked you to listen to me, but I didn't let you tell him. You are not allowed to tell him." Ling Qingyan said.

It’s not because of anything else, Ling Zhuoan is quite strict with his subordinates. Before, Han Qi failed to protect her and she almost died. It was Ling Qingyan who stopped the emperor.

Based on her understanding of Ling Zhuoan, it would be better not to tell him about this.

Han Qi looked quite conflicted, and Ling Qingyan just looked at him.

After a long while, he said, "Yes."

Ling Qingyan smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

She asked the store to prepare the best peach blossom wine.

It tastes like alcohol, but is not intoxicating.

Ling Qingyan personally poured the wine for the other four people present. They kept refusing, but Ling Qingyan pushed them back.

She stood up, with a mixture of arrogance and brightness, "This cup is for Mansheng and Shen Chuo. I wish you success in the imperial examinations and the top prize in the imperial examinations!"

The girl was very cheerful and drank the whole cup of Peach Blossom Wine.

Xi Lan couldn't help but smile and advised, "Your Highness, please drink slowly."

Ling Qingyan waved her hand, "These are not problems!"

"This glass of wine is to thank you all for taking care of me." Ling Qingyan drank another glass of wine.

Her spirits were high and easily contagious to others, and soon, others followed her mood.

They all drank the fine wine.

The girl's cool voice continued: "This cup is to this beautiful scenery, to the peaceful sea and clear rivers, and to peace and prosperity in the world!"

She swept her eyes over the crowd, "Cheers to our meeting, and to our friendship!"

The girl was bright and flamboyant. Chen Chuo didn't know if it was the wine or something else that made her so beautiful, but he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest and couldn't calm down for a long time.

The silverware and jade cups were illuminated by candlelight, and Tang Ning actually led the people at the table to chat together, talking about the new plays in the theater and interesting things that happened in the capital.

Even Han Qi, who was not good at speaking and was serious, was forced by Ling Qingyan to tell a story about his past.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the dinner table was filled with joy.

"Your Highness, if this isn't a celebration for passing the imperial examination, would we still be able to dine with Your Highness if my sister and I were to receive a surprise when our rankings were announced?"

Chen Chuo didn't know whether he was drunk or the girl was too close to everyone today, with no sense of distance, so he actually said such presumptuous and impertinent words.

The other three people's expressions changed, and Chen Mansheng even reminded them directly: "Chen Chuo, you are drunk. His Highness's hospitality to you and me today is a gift. We must not be ungrateful and trouble His Highness so much."

Chen Mansheng looked guilty.

His Highness has been so good to them, why does Chen Chuo still make demands on His Highness?

I'm really drunk.

Although His Highness treated her very well and she was very grateful to Him, His Highness was still His Highness. Her help and care were not to be taken for granted, and she always kept this in mind.

Shen Chuo's words were somewhat offensive no matter how he said them, but the girl in front of him waved her hand and said, "No problem!"

"Even if you didn't mention it, I'd have the same idea." Ling Qingyan glanced at the crowd, "It's so boring to eat alone, it should be lively and lively!"

Ling Qingyan leaned on her head and looked at Chen Mansheng: "Whatever others have, we have too. When the time comes, I will set off fireworks for you. Good friends should set off fireworks together... together!"

It can be regarded as a farewell to the heroine before leaving.

The evening breeze blew by, and he drank cup after cup of mellow wine. Chen Chuo's eyes were a little drunken, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became deeper.
