Chapter 787 Toast at the Banquet

When Xingxing arrived, she saw Wei Shiyu with his sleeves rolled up, performing a set of long fist movements in the courtyard outside the palace in a majestic manner.

Wei Shiyan stood under the eaves of the palace with his arms folded, watching Wei Shiyu boxing quietly.

Seeing Xing Xing coming, Wei Shiyan frowned slightly, and without paying any attention to Wei Shiyu who was still boxing, he went to greet her.

Xing Xing guessed it as soon as she saw Wei Shiyan's expression.

Just as she expected, Wei Shibu didn't mention to Wei Shiyan that she was coming too.

However, Wei Shiyan did not ask Xingxing why she came. He just looked her up and down with a smile in his eyes and praised her simply, "You look very good."

It can be seen that it is good to rest at home these days.

Xingxing smiled towards Wei Shiyan with a curved brow.

When Wei Shibu saw this scene, his eyes became a little gloomy.

But when he came over, he was his usual gentle, polite and smiling self again: "Princess Fusui is here."

Xing Xing bowed politely: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince."

Wei Shibu smiled and looked at Wei Shiyan again: "Second brother, the princess went alone to rescue you from danger before, and I admire her very much. This time, we brothers have a small gathering, so I also invited Princess Fusui to come. Second brother, please don't be surprised."

Wei Shiyan didn't say anything, but his eyes were a little cold as he glanced at Wei Shibu coldly.

When in danger, Bu's face froze.

Wei Shiyu had just finished a set of punches and jumped over to help Wei Shibu out: "Second brother, how was my set of punches? ... Hey, Xingxing is here too?"

Xing Xing smiled and said, "Third Prince, the Fourth Prince came to invite me personally two days ago, but I was disrespectful, so I came here today."

Wei Shiyu said "Oh" and said excitedly: "I just told my second brother that after the banquet here is over, I will take him to some fun places. Do you want to come with us?"

Xing Xing agreed immediately: "Okay."

Dangerous Feast: "..."

He originally wanted his brother to take him to pick out some new and interesting things for Xingxing to make her happy.

However, it's okay for people to go with her, at least it can guarantee that Xingxing will like it.

Wei Shiyan remained calm and had no objection.

Wei Shibu's heart moved slightly, and he was about to say, "Then I'll go for a walk too."

As if Wei Shiyu had predicted his words, he put his arm around Wei Shibu's shoulder like a brother and said, "Fourth brother, you must have worked hard organizing the banquet today. You should have a good rest after everything is done. Don't worry, I will definitely not forget to bring you a gift."

After saying this, he patted Wei Shibu's shoulder with a look of understanding and consideration.

Dangerous Steps: "..."

His usually gentle and smiling face was twitching so much that he almost had a cramp!

…

Yu Mingzhu and Princess Daiyue of Prince Cheng's Mansion did not arrive too late. To be precise, they arrived a little early for the dangerous banquet.

Princess Daiyue was of a simple nature, and could not hide much on her face. After she greeted Wei Shiyu and Wei Shibu in a low voice, her eyes fell on Wei Shiyan, and she immediately widened her eyes in a somewhat inappropriate manner: "Ah..."

Compared with Princess Dai Yue's loss of composure, Yu Mingzhu's absence of consciousness was obviously not that eye-catching.

Wei Shibu smiled and came to the rescue of Princess Daiyue: "...Second brother, you haven't seen Daiyue yet, right? This is Sister Daiyue from Uncle Prince Cheng's family, not much younger than Ayu."

Princess Daiyue also responded, blushing and kneeling, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Cong."

Wei Shibu smiled and said, "Sister Daiyue is too polite."

He then introduced Yu Mingzhu to Wei Shiyan: "…Second brother, this is my wife-to-be."

Wei Shiyan's eyes fell on Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Mingzhu felt her heart beating very fast. She lowered her head slightly, looking weak and submissive. "I have met His Royal Highness Prince Cong."

Even without looking up, Yu Mingzhu could feel that the handsome man's eyes were on her.

Yu Mingzhu's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, and that was to be glad that she had dressed up well today.

Yu Mingzhu knew that she was extremely beautiful.

Sometimes, beauty is also a very sharp weapon.

She tilted her face slightly to the side, intentionally showing her most beautiful profile.

However, before Mingzhu finished posing, she heard Wei Shiyan speak: "...Is it her?"

Wei Shiyan's voice was clear and melodious, and Yu Mingzhu raised her head subconsciously.

But Wei Shiyan didn't even look at her.

He was leaning sideways, apparently talking to Yu Xingxing beside him.

He looked against the light, staring at Yu Xingxing, as if Yu Xingxing was the only one in his eyes.

For a moment, Yu Mingzhu felt that her reason briefly left her body.

She just felt that all the blood in her head was rushing to her head!

——It’s Yu Xingxing again!

Fortunately, Yu Mingzhu quickly regained her senses.

She lowered her head again and walked gently to Wei Shibu's side, a little behind him.

The last one to arrive was the fifth prince Wei Shiqi.

Wei Shibu was surprised and walked quickly to the palace gate: "Fifth brother! You are here!"

His eyes were filled with tears, and he seemed to be deeply moved by Qi's ability to come to him in times of crisis.

Wei Shiqi looked at Wei Shibu and curled his lips. He could not see any expression on his face. He just said politely: "My dear brothers, I am late. I will drink three cups of wine as punishment later."

Ever since Wei Shiqi's mother, Concubine De, was demoted to the position of concubine because of Wei Shiqi's interference in the imperial decree granting marriage to Wei Shibu, Wei Shiqi has almost stopped having any contact with Wei Shibu.

Therefore, Wei Shibu was extremely excited about the Fifth Prince's coming at this time.

It's almost to the point where he does everything himself, and to describe him as diligent is an understatement.

Wei Shiqi curled his lips again and looked at Wei Shibu, his eyes devoid of warmth: "Fourth brother, there is no need to be like this, lest you neglect the second and third brothers."

Wei Shibu calmed down a little, but still looked sincere and sincere: "We are brothers, there is no need to talk about this."

When the fifth prince was in danger, a sarcastic smile flashed across his face, but it disappeared in a flash.

The fourth prince Wei Shibu, who was in charge of the situation, was busy trying to arrest Wei Shiyan and Wei Shiyu, so he didn't see it.

Wei Shiyan took another look at the fifth royal brother.

Previously, his elder brother briefly mentioned the feud between the two. Although it was just a passing mention, it was still very concise: "... one treated others as fools, and the other was self-righteous and rushed to be a fool. Later, the fool reacted and stopped doing it, and the other one who treated others as fools also stopped doing it."

Wei Shiyan retracted his gaze.

Feeling that someone was staring at him, he frowned and looked in the opposite direction.

Princess Dai Yue looked away like a frightened little rabbit, her face flushed.

The little face is rosy.

Wei Shiyan just glanced at it casually, didn't take it seriously, and looked away.

When the banquet started, Wei Shibu said some high-sounding speeches again. He raised the first glass to toast Wei Shiyan, and said sincerely that his second brother had suffered a lot for Da Xia over the years, and that his younger brother would follow his example and contribute his own part to the people of Da Xia.

"Good!" Wei Shiyu clapped his hands out of respect.

Wei Shiqi took a look, chuckled, and clapped a few times.

Wei Shiyan didn't say anything, he just raised his glass and drank it all.

Wei Shibu could more or less sense that his second brother didn't like to talk, but now that he was speaking so passionately, Wei Shibu felt that his second brother had to give him some face and say something.

Just drink it all in one gulp and forget about it?

However, Wei Shibu was unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He just smiled and said jokingly: "Second brother is really frugal with words."

Xingxing is not very happy.

Why is the fourth prince still being so shady?

Her brother Yan was not talkative, but it was not because he was frugal with words. In the past, in the deep mountains, apart from her, he was usually accompanied by only the great priest Qin, and he had no chance to talk to anyone.

Can she blame her brother Yan for not being talkative?

To put it mildly, the Fourth Prince was just joking. To put it more seriously, wasn't he just teasing her brother Yan?

Xingxing thought, no wonder the Fourth Prince could hang out with Yu Mingzhu, it was because she didn't like him.

At the banquet, the fifth prince Wei Shiqi had something on his mind and was cold towards Wei Shibu and didn't say much. Wei Shiyan was also a quiet person. If it weren't for the third prince Wei Shiyu who was responsible for livening up the atmosphere, the banquet would have been a dull occasion.

Wei Shiyu was trying to liven up the atmosphere while thinking, he also said that he would go out and bring a gift for his fourth brother, why does he feel that his fourth brother should give him a gift?

However, although Wei Shiyan said he didn't talk much, he would still answer if someone asked him a question. If someone toasted him, he would accept it all and drink it all to give the other person face.

Although they used smooth fruit wine, it would still be worrying to drink it this way.

However, no matter how mild the fruit wine is, it will still make you feel a little drunk if you drink too much.

Wei Shibu was a little tipsy, his face was red, and his words were a little unclear, but he was still holding up his glass to toast Wei Shiyan: "...Second, second brother! It's been a while since you came back. And you are the first one among us brothers to be crowned king, so you should do something, right?"

This statement is somewhat over the line.

Wei Shiyan has been crowned king, what else is there for him to do?

How, get rid of the prince and take the throne yourself?

Wei Shibu was still talking loudly and drunkenly, "...We, we are all brothers. If Second Brother needs any help, just, just ask! Don't be polite to me, me!"

As he spoke, Wei Shibu raised his head and drank the fruit wine in the cup.

The fifth prince was in danger and sneered when he heard this.

The same thing again!

At that time, he really believed that his good fourth brother, whose mother was not of high rank and had no intention of usurping the throne, would wholeheartedly help him fight for that position.

As a result, when his mother was demoted from one of the four concubines to a concubine because of his good fourth brother, he felt as if he had been hit hard by a club, and the fog in front of his eyes was suddenly cleared up a lot.

Especially later, when he stepped out of that stupid "brotherhood" and looked coldly at what his fourth brother did, Wei Shiqi realized that although he still claimed to be smart, he was actually the biggest fool in the world.

His fourth brother, under the banner of doing good for him, jumped up and down and did so many things, making friends with the rich and powerful in various mansions, and asking the emperor to arrange a marriage for him with the eldest daughter of the Xin Guo Mansion at that time. In the end, wasn't it just him, the good fourth brother, who benefited? !

It's ridiculous that he used to think that they had a deep brotherly love, and that everything his fourth brother did was for him!

The Fifth Prince lowered his eyes in danger, hiding the viciousness in his eyes, and silently drank the fruit wine in the cup in front of him.

"I, I would also like to offer a toast to His Royal Highness Prince Cong..." Princess Daiyue's voice sounded soft and thin, and everyone looked at her subconsciously.

Princess Daiyue's face was still flushed. She seemed to muster up her courage and stood up with her wine cup raised: "... Your Highness Prince Cong, I was deeply moved after hearing your story. I... I'll toast you a glass."

As she spoke, Princess Daiyue also drank the wine in the cup.

She was obviously too nervous and drank too quickly, so she choked. Her already red face turned even redder and she started coughing with her handkerchief covering her mouth.

Yu Mingzhu, who was sitting next to Princess Daiyue, patted her back considerately.

Until Princess Daiyue's eyes were filled with tears from coughing up, her face turned red, she waved her hands, and said embarrassedly that she was fine.

"Sister Daiyue, you are too careless." Wei Shibu stuck out his tongue and laughed, "If I didn't know, I would have thought that you were scared by the Second Emperor!"

Princess Daiyue's face looked like a cooked shrimp.

Yu Mingzhu gently patted Princess Daiyue's hand, and with a smile, she also picked up the wine cup and toasted Wei Shiyan: "Your Highness Prince Cong, I'd like to toast you too."

She said this very gently.

Although Wei Shibu felt a little powerless in his heart, he subconsciously thought that Yu Mingzhu was helping Princess Daiyue out of trouble, so he didn't say anything in the end.

However, in this critical moment banquet where almost everyone was invited, Mingzhu drank the fruit wine in the cup and did not move.

Yu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.

Wei Shiyan said coldly: "I can't drink anymore."

Yu Mingzhu then put on an understanding smile: "I didn't think it through. Is Your Highness Prince Cong tired?"

She looked at Wei Shibu again, "Fourth Prince, how about you send someone to take His Royal Highness Prince Cong to rest for a while?"

Before Wei Shibu could say anything, Wei Shiyan had already coldly refused: "No need."

Although Wei Shiyan said that people were cold, he seemed especially cold towards Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Mingzhu's mind went blank for a moment.

She didn't even know how she had offended His Royal Highness Prince Cong!

It was obvious, it was obvious that the popular Prince Cong was staring at her for a while just now!

Why do you have this attitude now?

Yu Mingzhu's eyes and consciousness shifted to Xingxing who was not far away.

…She just whispered something to King Cong. Could it be that she said something bad about her in front of King Cong? !

Yu Mingzhu stood there with a pale face, but Wei Shibu didn't think too much about it. He felt that his second brother was just like that and there was nothing strange about it.

He stood up and patted Yu Mingzhu on the shoulder with his tongue out: "Okay, Ming, Mingzhu, don't just stand there like an idiot. You, you shouldn't just pay respect to my second brother, but also to my third brother and fifth brother!"
