Chapter 84: Cloud Brewing
At night, sharp arrows flew past in the wind, and the news that Ling Qingyan was in danger shot to Prince Yong's Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Eastern Palace.
There is no need to explain too much, just tell them the news that Ling Qingyan is in danger. They will not immediately find out whether it is true or not, but will just rush to a place without stopping.
No one would bet on whether it is true or not.
At Zui Xiang Lou, the number of people sitting down to eat was the same as last time.
Why are they the same?
Naturally, it was the well-behaved Master Mu who was in charge, and Ling Qingyan could not openly allow Han Qi and Xi Lan to drink and chat with them.
Even if Mu Xianzi himself didn't care that much about this matter, the pretending Master Mu would never allow such a thing to happen.
So Chen Chuo, Chen Mansheng, Ling Qingyan, Mu Xianzhi and Lu Xingxia sat in the box by the window to celebrate.
After all, Mu Xianzhi was a serious person, which made the banquet quite cold at the beginning.
But it doesn’t matter, Ling Qingyan and Lu Xingxia are having fun.
Ling Qingyan gave Lu Xingxia a look, and Lu Xingxia immediately understood what His Highness meant, and guzzled wine for the famous Master Mu.
"I have heard of Master Mu's name for a long time, and I admire him very much. I would like to offer a glass to Master Mu!" Lu Xingxia said cheerfully.
What a joke! She can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, not to mention such delicious wine. She wouldn't be able to get enough even if she drinks for three days and three nights!
I can't help His Highness with anything else, but I can still do this small thing of getting her to drink.
"Taifu Mu is a man of integrity, a beacon of hope in the hearts of thousands of students. On behalf of thousands of students, I offer another toast to Taifu Mu!"
Ling Qingyan leaned her head against the side and smiled as she watched Mu Xianzhi being forced to drink.
If you have to come, just be honest.
On the surface, he is a taciturn person, and his presence makes others feel uncomfortable.
Ling Qingyan found it amusing and didn't let Mu Xianzhi rest even when Lu Xingxia was pouring wine. "Qingyan thanks Master Mu for his teachings. It is Master Mu's wise guidance that has enabled Mansheng and Shen Chuo to achieve such excellent results. Qingyan toasts to you, Master Mu!"
The girl's beautiful face and bright eyes were reflected in the wine glass. The little girl smiled cunningly. Mu Xianzhi knew that His Highness must be trying to tease her again, and he couldn't help laughing.
After all, it was a celebration banquet for Chen Mansheng and Shen Chuo, and they were ranked high, so there was no reason for His Highness to express gratitude on their behalf. As if they only realized something was wrong at this moment, they all stood up and toasted Mu Xianzhi.
In this way, Mu Xianzhi was forced to drink a whole jar of wine.
He has a good alcohol tolerance, and the wine served at His Highness's banquet was not too strong, so it was not enough to make her drunk.
But since she wanted to see him drunk, what would it matter even if she got what she wanted?
So Mu Xianzhi collapsed on the table while everyone was urging him to drink one glass of wine after another.
Mu Xianzhi has played the role of a dignified and handsome tutor very well over the years, so pretending to be drunk is even easier for him.
"Finally fell down!" Lu Xingxia leaned back, patted his belly that was swollen from drinking too much, and looked at Ling Qingyan: "How is it, Your Highness? My reaction was good, wasn't it? I understood what Your Highness meant right away and cooperated with Your Highness tacitly!"
The most serious one fell down, and everyone else was more unrestrained. Ling Qingyan's eyes were a little drunken, and she gave her a thumbs up.
"You are worthy of being the one I chose!"
After Mu Xianzhi fell drunk, several people started chatting while eating and drinking.
"Xingxia, your name is so cool. Did your parents give it to you? You really have a lot of ideas." Ling Qingyan expressed her curiosity.
Lu Xingxia shook his head. "No, no." He still had food in his mouth, so he swallowed it whole and said, "I chose this name myself. It's cool, right? I think so too!"
Lu Xingxia seemed to have been chasing the past for a year. He snorted and sighed, "They wouldn't give me such a domineering name."
She looked at Ling Qingyan and said, "What did they name me..." It seemed like a long time ago, and Lu Xingxia even paused, "Oh, yes, Lai Nan, which means to bring a boy. My parents thought I would be a boy, but it turned out to be a girl. They were very angry."
"So they gave me this name and sold me to a wealthy merchant's foolish son as a child bride. Luckily, that wealthy merchant family..." Lu Xingxia paused, then smiled, "Now it seems they've done me a favor."
"The wealthy businessman's son was mentally retarded, so he wanted me to learn everything so I could protect him. He found a martial arts master to teach me how to read and practice martial arts, which is how I became who I am today."
"It's just that the process was truly painful. Ever since I was three years old, I was tied to a desk and taught from morning till night. At one o'clock, I started learning martial arts. I could study for eight of the twelve hours a day, and play with my silly son for one hour."
"Later, when I was old enough, I married that foolish son. However, they had no children for many years. Their family had problems last year. The rich merchant's house was robbed. I am not weak in martial arts, so I saw the opportunity to escape and protect myself."
"The rich businessman lost all his money, and my foolish husband is dead too."
"Although I was short of money after escaping from that house, Your Highness, I truly saw how vast the world is. I am so happy. I have never felt so free and so happy."
Although she encountered bad guys before, she was able to escape them thanks to her clever mind and extraordinary skills.
"Once you drink, you have many stories to tell. I've already told too many. My wish for the rest of my life is to be just like my name, a chivalrous man!"
"I will do my best to help more people in need. How can I help more people? Of course, I will become an official! I will be rich, powerful, and able to do chivalrous things!" Lu Xingxia drank another glass of wine.
"Great!" Ling Qingyan was fascinated by what she heard. "I hope Sister Lu can achieve her wish just like Mansheng!"
Zui Xiang Ju recently launched a new product, Yunwu Brew, and specially gave it to the princess to try.
There is a cup at each table.
"There's something good here again. Let me try it!" Lu Xingxia picked up the fine wine in front of him and poured it into his mouth like a cow chewing a peony.
"It tastes delicious!" Lu Xingxia commented.
Chen Chuo smiled and picked up the new product from Zui Xiang Lou to taste it, his eyes vaguely glancing at Ling Qingyan.
Ling Qingyan was in high spirits and couldn't wait to taste it since it sounded delicious.
"The taste is... quite strange, a feeling I've never had before." Ling Qingyan felt that all her internal organs were boiling, stirring up restlessness in her heart.
"This cloud and mist wine is so strong." It was so strong that she was a little drunk.
"You guys eat, I'm going to go get some fresh air." Ling Qingyan's eyes were a little blurry, and she walked to the window unsteadily.
Looking down through the window, Ling Qingyan said in a daze, "Hey, why do I see the Crown Prince with a bunch of people?"
Just as I was about to say that I seemed to have seen Ji Yanxing and Ling Yu, I felt a chill on my neck.
What was that cold thing against her neck?
