Chapter 327: Beauty is a feast for the eyes
"Why be polite between friends?" Song Wan'er said with a smile, "You are the groom today, so I should toast you with this glass of wine."
The Song family and the Shao family had no friendship in the past. In addition, King Chang'an was demoted from the capital, and Song Anlan now rarely appeared at such occasions where dignitaries gathered. Therefore, only Song Wan'er, who hit it off with Shao Feiyang at first sight, came to the banquet.
Actually, this was the first time that Song Wan'er attended an event without her brothers and sisters.
She represented herself and the Song family today, and imitating an adult, she raised a glass of wine and said to Shao Feiyang, "Congratulations to General Shao for winning the beautiful woman. Thank you, Young General, for your concern for the world and your efforts to promote peace between the two countries. May General Shao and Princess Xiling live in love and harmony from now on, and understand and cherish each other."
Shao Feiyang thought, with so many guests at the wedding banquet today, Miss Song was probably the only one who sincerely wished them well. He raised his glass and clinked it with the glass in Song Wan'er's hand, "Thank you for your good wishes, Miss Song."
Song Wan'er smiled and was about to raise her glass to drink it all when suddenly someone strode up to her and snatched the glass from her hand.
"Why are you trying to steal my wine?" Song Wan'er glanced sideways unhappily. The person who suddenly stepped forward and snatched her wine glass was Jiang Hao.
This man had been sitting a few tables away. Song Wan'er didn't want to be too close to him outside. In addition, men and women were seated separately, so Jiang Hao didn't want to sit with her either.
They originally sat separately and far away from each other.
Song Wan'er just pretended not to see him, out of sight, out of mind.
As a result, when she was about to toast Shao Feiyang with a glass of wine, this guy suddenly appeared.
"You can't drink much, so it's not appropriate for you to drink outside." Jiang Hao whispered to Song Wan'er, then raised his glass to Shao Feiyang and said, "I'll drink this glass of wine for her. I wish General Shao and Princess Xiling a harmonious marriage and that they will be together soon."
Hearing this, Song Wan'er couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Why are you imitating my way of speaking? Don't you want to use your brain to think of new words when blessing others?"
"Have you ever thought about this?" Jiang Hao asked in a low voice, "Maybe this is what it means when a woman follows her husband's lead?"
"you……"
Song Wan'er didn't expect Jiang Hao to suddenly say such a thing, and her eyes widened.
Jiang Hao saw her suddenly open her beautiful eyes, which looked quite cute and innocent. He curled his lips slightly and said to Shao Feiyang, "General Shao, please."
"please."
Shao Feiyang raised his glass and drank it all.
When the guests saw General Shao drink the glass of wine, they quickly came over and took turns toasting him. No matter who he married, getting the groom drunk seemed to be the guests' favorite thing to do at the wedding banquet.
Shao Feiyang accepted all offers. The two elder brothers of the Shao family were afraid that he would get drunk and neglect Princess Xiling, so they hurried forward to help him block the wine.
Seeing how noisy they were, Song Wan'er sat down to eat. Jiang Hao took advantage of the fact that all the guests were surrounding Shao Feiyang and sat down next to her.
On the day when the Song family girl held her coming-of-age ceremony, the emperor personally issued an edict to grant her a marriage with General Jiang Hao of Pingxi. This matter had already spread throughout the city, and everyone present knew about it, so when they saw Jiang Hao sitting next to Song Wan'er, they just smiled, then lowered their heads and whispered to each other, and no one pointed out that it was inappropriate for Jiang Hao to sit there.
Only Song Wan'er frowned slightly, "Why are you sitting here? Isn't your seat over there?"
Jiang Hao said, "Since your brother is not here, I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from drinking too much and causing trouble again."
The word "again" immediately irritated Miss Song.
When Song Wan'er first came to the capital, she went to a banquet at Princess Anyang's mansion with Chunzhi. It was the first time she was free from her brother's supervision. At the banquet, she tasted the fine wine and drank a few more glasses out of greed. As a result, she accidentally spilled the wine on her sister.
My sister went to change clothes and was almost framed.
Fortunately, my sister was smart and did not fall into the villain's trap. Instead, she tricked those who plotted against her.
Afterwards, neither her sister nor her brother blamed her, but Song Wan'er felt very guilty and secretly vowed never to drink too much outside again. She toasted Shao Feiyang with that glass of wine just now, firstly to help the young general out of trouble, and secondly to express her sincere blessings.
She only intended to drink this one glass and not more.
Jiang Hao suddenly intervened and snatched the wine from her hand in public, and even implied that she would cause trouble once she drank.
Song Wan'er said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how ignorant I am, I won't drink excessively at someone else's wedding banquet. Besides, even if something happens to me, it has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Hao said firmly, "I am your fiancé, what is the relationship?"
Song Wan'er felt a little itchy and wanted to slap him again.
But this is the princess's residence, and there are so many guests at the wedding banquet, and so many eyes are watching. She gritted her teeth and suppressed the urge to slap Jiang Hao.
Song Wan'er no longer paid attention to Jiang Hao. She lowered her head and picked up some food to eat, pretending that there was no such annoying person around her.
Jiang Hao waited for a long time, but Song Wan'er didn't confront him. For a moment, he felt like something was missing. He glanced sideways and saw her eating angrily.
It seems...quite interesting.
Jiang Hao saw that Song Wan'er's favorite sweet and sour fish was placed at the farthest position. He wanted to pick it up but couldn't reach it, so he reached out and took the whole plate of sweet and sour fish and placed it in front of her.
Seeing this, the guests nearby joked, "I didn't expect the Pingxi General to be so considerate."
"It's said that General Pingxi has long been in love with Miss Song, and that he's using his military achievements to win the Emperor's hand in marriage. It seems like it's true!"
"No matter how fierce a man is, he will become gentle and affectionate when he meets the girl he likes..."
General Jiang Hao of Pingxi did not have a good reputation. Many people present saw him for the first time. Seeing that he was quite considerate to the girl from the Song family, they could not help but talk about it.
When Song Wan'er heard everyone say this, she was so angry that her teeth almost broke. "Why are you pretending? Are you using me to whitewash my reputation?"
Jiang Hao didn't really think so just now.
No matter how calculating he was, he could not have imagined that a casual action of his would be seen as an act of deep affection by these people.
Song Wan'er was convinced he was acting, and Jiang Hao didn't bother to explain. He just asked her, "So, are you going to eat it or not? If not, I'll put it back."
Song Wan'er gritted her teeth and uttered a word, "Eat!"
These people have said everything. If she doesn't eat it, she will suffer a greater loss.
This sweet and sour fish is the specialty of the imperial chef in the palace. The dish made by the chefs in other restaurants is always a little bit inferior.
Song Wan'er only hated Jiang Hao, but she couldn't hate the sweet and sour fish he served her.
Shao Feiyang was surrounded by guests a few tables away. They toasted each of them at each table. After three rounds of drinks, these people were laughing and making noises, as if they had forgotten that General Shao had married the princess of Xiling.
The lights were bright during the banquet.
As the night deepens, moonlight shines across the courtyard.
Song Wan'er didn't talk to Jiang Hao and just focused on eating.
I have to say that the dishes at this wedding banquet are quite good.
Jiang Hao watched Song Wan'er eating her meal attentively, and suddenly a word emerged in his mind - a beauty that is a feast to the eyes.
