"It's not really an order, but I just have some personal matters to ask you two."
"Don't be nervous, just sit down and we'll have a drink and chat."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, Wang Xiao picked up the wine glass and poured wine for the three of them, and Shangguan Lingyun raised his glass.
"Tonight there are no kings or ministers, only friends. We won't leave until we're drunk."
"Come, General Ye, Second Young Master, I offer you my respects."
Shangguan Lingyun toasted, and the two had to raise their glasses together.
At first, the two were a little reserved, especially Ye Pengcheng, who was always wondering what Shangguan Lingyun would say.
But he waited for a long time, and Shangguan Lingyun didn't say anything, which made him a little anxious.
"Your Highness, I offer you a toast. Without your antidote, I'm afraid this expedition wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
Ye Pengcheng had no choice but to use drinking to bring people closer together.
Shangguan Lingyun did not refuse and drank a glass with the two of them. Ye Rong then stood up and toasted him.
Shangguan Lingyun accepted all the drinks, and the three of them drank more and more. However, after talking for a long time, none of them got to the point.
Ye Rong looked at Shangguan Lingyun who was toasting with them, thought for a moment, and said.
"Your Highness, it's a rare opportunity to drink with you. Tonight we must get drunk."
Shangguan Lingyun raised the corners of his lips slightly and threw the wine glass away.
"Okay, Second Young Master, you are so generous. I like it. This cup is too small. Wang Xiao, change to a bigger bowl."
Wang Xiao didn't dare to stop him and had to change to three large bowls.
Ye Pengcheng felt a little regretful when he saw the bowl, which was almost as big as his head.
"Your Highness, this bowl..."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled lightly, "It's okay, it's rare for me to be happy today, drink."
"General Ye, are you afraid? Or do you look down on me and don't want to drink with me?"
Fearing that Ye Pengcheng would be suspicious, Shangguan Lingyun deliberately provoked him, and Ye Pengcheng smiled bitterly.
Although he knew Shangguan Lingyun did it on purpose, he had no choice but to continue accompanying him.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Your Highness is so kind, how can I refuse you?"
"Okay, then I will risk my life to accompany you tonight. Let's get drunk."
After Shangguan Lingyun finished speaking, he filled the large bowl by himself without Wang Xiao's help and then picked it up.
"You two, this palace toasts to you."
Ye Pengcheng and Ye Rong had no choice but to accompany him. After a while, they both felt a little dizzy.
Especially Ye Rong, his speech is a bit lisp.
"Your Highness has a huge capacity for drinking, and Ye Rong admires that. However, Ye Rong not only admires your Highness's drinking capacity, but also your character."
Shangguan Lingyun raised his eyes slightly. He knew that Ye Rong was a little drunk, so he asked tentatively.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of person I am in the eyes of the Second Young Master?"
Although Ye Pengcheng was not as drunk as Ye Rong, he was also quite drunk.
He knew that he shouldn't let Ye Rong continue talking, but after staggering for a long time, he didn't know how to stop him.
Ye Rong patted Shangguan Lingyun on the shoulder, looking like a good brother.
Wang Xiao broke out in a cold sweat for him and wanted to step forward to remind him, but was glared back by Shangguan Lingyun.
Wang Xiao had no choice but to quietly retreat at Shangguan Lingyun's signal.
Ye Rong did not notice Shangguan Lingyun's actions. He put his arm around Shangguan Lingyun's shoulders and said with a smile.
"Your Highness knows my eldest brother Ye Fan and my third brother Ye Chang, right?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and Ye Rong continued.
"Originally, we always thought that His Highness was as despicable as the world said."
"Haha, Your Highness, don't be angry. Just listen to what I have to say."
Shangguan Lingyun did not interrupt, as he was naturally aware of his own reputation. Ye Rong continued.
"However, ever since my eldest and third brothers came into contact with His Highness, we have realized how ignorant the world is."
"Haha, of course, we are even more foolish if we just listen to what the world says."
"Your Highness is a gentleman who serves his country and his people, and is worthy of the position of crown prince."
"However, we came here today not to tell you these things, but for Xiaoxiao."
When Ye Pengcheng heard Ye Rong mention Ye Xiaoxiao, his cloudy mind became a little clearer.
"Ye Rong, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Ye Rong glared at Ye Pengcheng, "Who are you? How dare you hit me?"
"I am speaking to His Highness, who do you think you are?"
Shangguan Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly. Ye Pengcheng was very angry. Shangguan Lingyun was afraid that he would stop Ye Rong again.
"General Ye, it's alright. I also want to hear what the Second Young Master thinks of me."
"Come on, it's all my fault today. I shouldn't have made you two drink so much. This bowl of wine is my apology to General Ye on behalf of the Second Young Master."
Ye Pengcheng looked at the large bowl in front of him with a headache, but Shangguan Lingyun had already drunk it all, so he had no choice but to drink it too.
Ye Pengcheng, who was originally somewhat sober, could no longer stay sober after drinking a large bowl of wine.
"Hiccup~, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I can't hold it in any longer."
Shangguan Lingyun waved his hand and called Wang Xiao to help the man away. Only the drunk Ye Rong was left in the tent.
"Second Young Master, come on, let's continue. Where were we just now?"
"Oh, yes, the Second Young Master said that today is for Xiaoxiao. How is Xiaoxiao?"
Ye Rong chuckled, "Your Highness is really good at pretending to be ignorant."
"In fact, we already knew that the child in Xiaoxiao's belly was your Highness's."
"But we don't understand why Xiaoxiao and His Highness are together, and why they pretend not to know each other?"
Shangguan Lingyun was stunned for a moment, but then he felt relieved. It was only a matter of time before the Queen's actions aroused the Ye family's suspicion.
