Chapter 139: Failed Conspiracy
The Prince of Yanning expressed this meaning through drunkenness, and the words were very obscure and did not point it out directly. Han Jian could understand this meaning, while Sima Jie and Yang Xi were still confused.
A noble marriage can only be a political marriage.?
Han Jian could feel that the Prince Yanning was not drunk at this time, and saying this was not an inquiry or a certainty. It was better to be a test of Han Jian's attitude towards the marriage alliance between the two parties. Han Jian didn't know whether this meant that the Prince Yanning would change his previous dormant attitude and wanted an old horse to come out of the mountain. Han Jian's mind quickly changed and simply pretended not to understand.
"Oh? Uncle Shi discussed with His Majesty if you have something to do. I don't know what it is, but I still have to go with you with me?" Han Jian asked with a smile on his face.
The Prince of Yanning smiled, his expression slowed down, and then he laughed: "It's all small things that are not worth mentioning. Today, I will come here, and my prince's mansion will shine brightly. Come on, I'll give you a cup."
Han Jian and others drank together, and Yang Qingle on the side also drank together. Yang Qingle had already drunk six or seven glasses since the start of the meal. Generally, the daughter's family could not bear it. However, Yang Qingle, who claimed that she was not good at drinking, had not yet had any alcohol content. Han Jian thought that this was still a "female divine god"?
"Kuanju, this time your Ministry of Revenue has caused such a big mess. If it weren't for your nephew, could you sit here now? Why don't you toast the nephew and thank you?" The banquet was about to end, and the prince of Yanning suddenly seemed to remember that the purpose of this banquet was to talk about peace between his brother-in-law and Han Jian. He called his brother-in-law in front of a group of juniors, looking like a peacemaker.
In fact, there was no holiday between Han Jian and Tang Sheng. This time, Han Jian was to handle the case, so there was no saying or saying.
Seeing that Tang Sheng had started pouring wine, Han Jian was a little wary. This meant that he wanted to drink wine and get him drunk?
"I can't drink much, so I'm afraid I can't drink anymore." Han Jian refused with a smile.
"Hey, this is not giving me face. Who doesn't know that you are not drunk for a thousand cups of wine, how can you get drunk with such a few glasses of water and wine? Or do you don't want to forgive me, so it's not convenient to just say it, and find an excuse to shirk it?"
Han Jianxin said that this old guy was quite well-informed and knew that he was having a drink with Yang Yu at Yuhualou.
"How could it be? But today I feel cold and I feel unwell, so I can't drink too much. Just one cup." Han Jian said that pushing is not enough. It's okay to drink a glass. Anyway, it's just a few drinks.
The Prince of Yanning smiled and said, "It's good to have a cup, come and get the old luminous cup."
A servant took the order and hurriedly stepped down. The Prince of Yanning smiled and said, "Since it is a cup, my nephew will drink it with the luminous cup I have treasured for many years. I don't often show it to others."
Yang Xi smiled and said, "I have also heard that Uncle Emperor, you have a luminous cup. It is said that it was introduced to Central Earth from the Western Regions. It has been thousands of years. Uncle Emperor, you regard it as a treasure. How can you bear to take it out and show it to us today?"
"Haha." Prince Yanning was very satisfied with Yang Xi's complimentary words. This was as co-proposal as an actor. "I am also a person who loves wine. It is rare to meet someone who likes wine like my nephew. I can't compare to my alcoholic alcoholic capacity, so I naturally have to take some good things to show off my ugly face."
While speaking, the servant was already hurriedly holding a brocade box. When the Prince of Yanning took out the luminous cup, Han Jian sighed in his heart. This is not a "luminous cup". It is even bigger than a sea bowl. A wine glass can hold a pound of wine. Is this asking him to come and have a banquet, and there is no return?
"This... I'm afraid it won't work... the wine glass is too big." Han Jian said bluntly.
The Prince of Yanning said with some displeasure: "I said to drink a drink in my previous life, but I heard it here. Now you don't drink it anymore. How can I step down?"
Tang Sheng came out at the right time and pretended to be a good person and said, "Why, just drink half a cup?"
The Prince of Yanning said coldly: "No, I say one cup is just one cup. If my nephew refuses to drink it, then I will not see you off."
Han Jianxin said that this was a competition with him. Isn’t it just a glass of wine? So what if it was a jar? I was killed by wine in my previous life, and my only skill in this life was to not get drunk after a thousand cups.
"Then it's better to obey your orders than respect." Han Jian bowed with a smile.
The Prince of Yanning smiled, but did not hand the wine glass forward. It seemed that he was going to pour wine for Han Jian himself. He suddenly waved his hand and immediately handed over a new wine jar, but it was not opened before.
"This is a fine wine given by the late emperor. I have never been reluctant to take it out over the years. Today is a good time and a distinguished guest is here, so I will no longer hide it. Come, my nephew, smell the fragrance of the wine."
As the Prince of Yanning said, the mud seal was revealed, and it was indeed a scent of wine. Such wine would have a high degree of degree, and if you drink a large amount of a bowl, most people would be drunk no matter what you say.
The Prince of Yanning kept a smile on his face, pouring wine for Han Jian and soup. When the wine glass was handed to Han Jian's hand, Han Jian looked into the wine glass. The wine was very clean, but the taste made him feel something was wrong. Could it be that the wine was filled with ingredients?
Tang Sheng raised his wine glass and said, "I'm going to pay homage to Your Highness."
After saying that, he picked up his small wine glass and drank it all, and showed the empty wine glass to others, indicating that there was no drop left.
Han Jian smiled. Even if there is ingredients in the wine, it is not poison. He can still tell the smell clearly. At most, it is something that makes people dizzy. I am afraid that I will not get drunk with a cup, so I add something to make me drunk. This is my sincere desire to "keep guests"!
"Drinke together." Han Jian said, covering his sleeves with his face and lifting up the wine glass to drink. He saw his throat move up and down, and a few gurgles came into Han Jian's stomach. After Han Jian finished drinking, he wiped his sleeves and finally showed the empty wine glass.
Even if Sima Yi and Yang Xi had seen Han Jian's alcohol content, they could not help but be amazed. Yang Qingle, who was standing beside him, opened his mouth, obviously it was unbelievable that Han Jian would have such a good alcohol content.
Tang Sheng smiled and looked a little avoidant, while Yanning Prince kept smiling. He was the calmest one.
"The nephew really has a good alcohol tolerance." Prince Yanning praised with a smile.
Han Jian put down his wine glass, suddenly held his head, shook his body slightly, Sima Yu quickly helped him and let Han Jian return to his seat.
The Prince of Yanning asked, "Is the Emperor's Nephew safe? You are too anxious to drink this way. If you are unwell, you might as well let the servant help the Emperor's Nephew to rest."
Han Jian pretended to be in a dilemma. He smiled and said, "It's not appropriate, it's inconvenient to bother you today. Why should you stay with me? If this matter is spread, I'm afraid no one will invite me to the house for a banquet."
Tang Sheng smiled and said, "Your Highness is joking. Which family in Luoyang City doesn't want to invite you to have a banquet now?"
Han Jian said: "Today I have seen the style of the Uncle, and there are such delicious wine and food, and Miss Yang is such a beautiful woman to accompany me. I am really lucky to have three lives. It's not too early, so we should go back. The Sixth Prince should return to the palace earlier to avoid His Majesty's concern."
After Han Jian said this, Yang Xi said, "Yes. When I came out, my sister told me not to go back too late. Uncle, I won't bother you. We'll come to visit you next time."
"Since that's the case, I'm not convenient to stay with you. I'll be happy and accompany you to see you off the guests." The Prince of Yanning County said.
Han Jian said something he didn't want to do, and walked to the gate of the Prince's Mansion with Sima Jiejiao. Along the way, the Prince Yanning was talking about irrelevant scenes. When he arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the Prince Yanning also said that he would send Han Jian to Han Jian with a carriage, but Han Jian refused with a smile.
"Uncle Shi, please come back, come and visit again next time."
Han Jian finally said goodbye. His steps were very slow and he walked towards the palace with the guards. The Prince of Yanning watched Han Jian and others walk away before turning back to the house. From beginning to end, the Prince of Yanning did not make any clear statements, and he was confused by some riddles.
After a few people left the street of the Prince's Mansion, Han Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He performed this drama that was so drunk for a long time and was a little tired.
"Brother Han, are you okay?" Yang Xi looked at Han Jian in surprise.
"What can I do? It's not a casual talk about my young master's thousand cups of not getting drunk." Sima said proudly.
Han Jian sighed slightly. The glass of wine just now was poured by him by tricks. If he really drank it, he might not be drunk. It depends on how strong the medicine was placed in the wine.
"It's okay, we're just here to have a drink. What can we do? Young Master Yang, don't tell your sister about our drinking after we go back." Han Jian said to Yang Xi.
"Why is this?" Yang Xi was a little puzzled.
Han Jian knew that if the Queen knew about today's banquet, she would definitely smell some signs. Han Jian didn't want the Queen to notice many things.
"Your sister hopes you drink too much wine?" Han Jian said.
"That's right." Yang Xi scratched his head, "I told my sister that I just drank a few cups. Brother Han, I won't tell my sister about that big cup."
Han Jian smiled and said nothing more. Today's banquet sounds very simple, but Han Jian already felt that the Prince of Yanning was a cunning old fox, and the old fox could no longer hold back and was ready to move.
...
...
In Yanning County Prince's Mansion, Yanning County Prince, who had just sent Han Jian and others away, accompanied by Tang Sheng and Yang Qingle, went to the inner courtyard.
"Brother-in-law, this Xiaodong King looks really not simple, and his words are free of water. Even if you understand so clearly, he pretends not to know. It seems that he is wary of you." Tang Sheng said.
Yang Qingle, who was standing beside him, asked, "Uncle, what has the eldest father hinted about?"
The Prince of Yanning's face darkened and said, "What are you asking about a girl's house? Go back to rest early, and there will be a female official from the palace coming out to teach you the rules tomorrow."
"It's the rule again... Humph, Qingle is back, good night, father, good night." Yang Qingle looked unhappy and turned around and led the maid back to the inner courtyard.
When Yang Qingle left, the Prince of Yanning kept looking at the direction of her back and was feeling a little emotional.
Tang Sheng said: "Brother-in-law, Qingle is not young anymore. I don't mean it. No matter how reluctant you are, the child will eventually leave your hiding and go out to live her own life."
The Prince of Yanning sighed, "I don't know. But Qingle's situation is different from other families. I can't tell you some things yet. I will tell you in the future."
"Yes, yes." Tang Sheng nodded, "Where is the East King?"
"I originally wanted to keep him in the mansion, but I prepared a good show, but I didn't expect that his wit would be lost. But now I think about it, the play I prepared today is too hasty, so I'd better sing it to him again."
These words made Tang Sheng confused.
