Chapter 996 After Being Drunk
Although she knew that the person behind the screen could call out her full name and must be aware of her identity, why did she suddenly mention her identity as "Imperial Concubine" at this time?
Moreover, his tone was a bit strange.
Although there was nothing bad in the words, it always gave Nan Yan a feeling of being offended.
She frowned, her eyes and tone were cold, "What do you mean by saying this, Your Excellency?"
Although she was not angry, her words were tinged with coldness, which made people feel that she was unhappy with what she had just said.
“…”
The person behind the screen paused for a moment, then immediately said, "I don't mean anything else."
"That's good."
After saying that, he lowered his head, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.
Her meaning was very clear. She didn't want to continue this topic and didn't want anyone to stare at her anymore.
The person behind the screen was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, I have no other intention in inviting you all here tonight."
“…”
"My distinguished guests are all outstanding individuals, so I naturally cannot be disrespectful."
“…”
"Tonight, we won't talk about business or anything else. Let's just have fun."
After saying that, he clapped his hands.
A row of maids walked in from outside.
These maids were very young, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, with beautiful looks and beautiful clothes. They brought fine wine and delicious food to their tables one by one.
The musicians behind the screen also began to play cheerful and clear tunes.
It was indeed a very good banquet atmosphere.
When the food and wine were served, the host behind the screen took the wine glass from the table, raised it high, and said, "Everyone, please drink from this cup."
Jian Ruocheng and Nan Yanke followed the host's wishes and naturally picked up their wine glasses.
Meanwhile, Monk, also holding a glass of wine, smiled and said, "How do you wish to toast this?"
The owner thought about it, and his eyes seemed to move over each of them through the screen.
Then he said, "How about I wish that everyone here can get what they wish for?"
“…”
This was originally the most common blessing at a banquet.
Getting what you want is naturally what everyone hopes for.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table became a little strange.
Nan Yan looked at Monk opposite her, and then carefully glanced at Jian Ruocheng beside her.
Regardless, this deal wouldn't be a win-win for everyone. If Monk bought the ironware as he wished, the best scenario would be that he would go back and fight Arslan, and wouldn't have time to plot against Yan State anymore. Prince Ning, on the other hand, wouldn't be able to get his hands on the ironware, which would naturally leave him vulnerable.
But if this is the case, how will Jian Ruocheng explain it when he returns?
Although he said lightly that day that King Ning would not do anything to him because of a business deal, this business deal was not about buying soybeans and sorghum, but weapons.
Thinking of this, her gaze towards Jian Ruocheng became slightly heavier.
But Jian Ruocheng was smiling.
He said to the owner behind the screen: "Well, I hope everyone here gets what they want."
After saying that, he lowered his head to look at Nan Yan beside him, smiled and raised his glass to her.
“…”
Nan Yan also smiled with a complicated expression.
Then, he saw Jian Ruocheng drink it all in one gulp.
Nan Yan also took a sip and found that this wine was also unusual. It was at least Bamboo Leaf Green that had been stored in the cellar for more than 30 years. It was mellow at the beginning, and there was only a slight coolness on the tip of the tongue before it slid directly into the throat.
A soft feeling spread to all parts of the body.
Suddenly, the whole body felt relaxed.
So comfortable!
Nan Yan couldn't help but sigh.
However, she did not drink cup after cup like them. She only took two sips and vaguely felt that although the wine was not strong, it had a strong aftertaste. She felt her hands and feet a little weak after just drinking a little.
And Jian Ruocheng beside him was still toasting with them.
She thought about it, and subconsciously said softly: "Second Young Master, drink less."
Jian Ruocheng turned and looked at her.
At this moment, the smile on his face was a little different from usual. His usual smile was gentle but also a little reserved, making him look like a gentleman. But at this moment, the alcohol seemed to have slowly loosened all the restraint.
There was a hint of leisure in his smile.
"fine."
Fortunately, he was still relatively sober when speaking.
After a while, a group of dancers even came out to liven up the atmosphere. The beautiful dancers danced gracefully in front of them. For a moment, the singing was clear and the dancing was graceful.
Nan Yan glanced at the figure on the screen with some surprise.
This person is mysterious, but unexpectedly, he knows how to enjoy himself.
Although there were not many people at this banquet, he still made it very lively.
Finally, when everyone was drunk and the singing and dancing had subsided, the host behind the screen said, "It's getting late tonight. Let's go back and rest."
Everyone nodded.
Nan Yan drank two cups and her cheeks felt a little hot. She was about to get up when she heard a thud next to her.
Turning around, Jian Ruocheng fell on the table.
She was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was leaning over the table looking at something, but when she got closer, she found that his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were closed, and he was lying on the table, actually drunk and asleep.
Just now, he was speaking seriously and looked like nothing was wrong, so how come he suddenly passed out?
So this is what he looks like when he's drunk?
When everyone saw him like this, they couldn't help laughing.
Monk said, "It seems that Mr. Jian can't handle alcohol very well."
Nan Yan gently shook his shoulders: "Second Young Master Jian? Second Young Master?"
Jian Ruocheng didn't react at all.
The owner behind the screen said, "It seems that Master Jian is not able to hold his liquor. Come, help Master Jian go back and rest."
At this moment, Monk suddenly stood up and said, "No need to bother, I will do it."
“…”
Everyone was stunned.
Although he is a guest here now, he is the king of a country after all. He actually wants to help a drunk man go back to rest. Isn't that too - approachable?
Nan Yan frowned slightly, and then saw that he had walked over, grabbed one of Jian Ruocheng's arms, put him on his shoulder, and then turned to look at her: "Please lead the way."
“…”
Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.
The owner behind the screen seemed to hesitate for a moment, but seeing that he had already started, he said, "In that case, I will trouble you, Your Majesty."
Nan Yan could only stand up and said with a complicated expression: "Come with me."
She took him and soon arrived at Jian Ruocheng's room.
Monk carefully put Jian Ruocheng on the bed. Nan Yan walked over, pulled the quilt to cover him, and then stood up.
She saw Monk looking at her with a smile.
