Chapter 18 The Princess Does Not Accompany the Drink
In the hall of Prince Xiang's Mansion, vocal music was blaring, and more than a dozen dancers were twisting their enchanting bodies to entertain the guests on both sides.
Ming Cangxiang sat high on the throne, his majestic face still devoid of any warmth. He looked coldly at the drunken people in the hall, and the envoys whose eyes began to wander a little, and his lips raised in mockery.
Ru Yan was sitting next to her, her smiling face showing the pride of the hostess.
He casually glanced at Lin Leer standing aside.
She was wearing a very plain goose-yellow shirt, and her hair was not tied into a married woman's bun, but was tied up casually with a yellow hairband and hung loosely behind her head.
Her face was a little pale, and the dark circles under her eyes were very obvious, as if she had not slept well. Her big, vivid eyes, which were clear in black and white, had also lost their former luster.
Different from those beautiful and charming women in the hall, she is delicate and elegant, which makes people look much more comfortable.
As if sensing his gaze, Lin Leer turned her head slightly. When he saw the clear fingerprints on her left face, his brows furrowed slightly.
For these envoys from Shang Zhu Kingdom, it is already the highest honor to be hosted by King Xiang Ming Cangxiang for a banquet. On the other hand, this also proves the importance that the Haoyue Dynasty attaches to them from Shang Zhu Kingdom.
.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, I couldn't help but feel a little carried away, praising the mellow taste of Haoyue Chao's wine.
With cold eyes, he glanced at the "fine wine" specially prepared for them on the table. Ming Cangxiang lowered his eyes, beckoned Ming Xiu, whispered a few words, then stood up and said, "Everyone, I am a little too drunk.
I have to resign first."
"Farewell, Your Majesty."
After Ming Cangxiang left the table, these people were obviously more relaxed. The more they drank, the more excited they became. They either drank loudly or came to the hall to hug the dancer and dance.
Ru Yan wanted to leave, but Ming Xiu warned her, "The prince ordered his wife to stay and sit with him."
"Really?" Ru Yan was overjoyed. This is an honor that only the princess can have. She turned back to glance at Lin Leer and smiled proudly, "It's true, the prince. The princess and sister are obviously here, but the prince wants me to do these things."
Do it for you."
Lin Leer didn't bother to pay attention to her at all, let alone sitting with her like a bartender, even if she gave up the princess to her, it wouldn't be unusual.
Ru Yan gracefully came to the envoys, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Sir, Ru Yan would like to propose a toast to you on behalf of the prince."
Seeing such a beautiful person like Ru Yan coming to toast, the eyes of several people were all stiff, which could not accommodate the mediocre dancers, and their faces all had abnormal blushes.
Lin Le'er slowly stepped aside, looking at Ru Yan who was surrounded by several people in the center and drinking dozens of glasses of wine, and curled his lips. Suddenly, Ru Yan let out a soft cry, and saw a tall envoy already there.
He put his arms around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms, "Come, beauty, have another drink."
Ru Yan was a little panicked. Due to the other party's identity, it was not someone she could offend as a concubine. She quickly said with a smile, "My lord, you are drunk."
"I am your prince's distinguished guest, how dare you not drink?"
"Sir...I..."
The other party couldn't hear it, but he had already forced down a cup of wine, and then laughed "ha ha", "The beauty of Hao Guangchao is really refreshing."
Ru Yan was choked and coughed non-stop. Before she could wipe the tears from her eyes, she was pulled away by another person, "Come on, beauty, come and have a drink with me again."
Lin Leer watched all of this quietly, always feeling that something was wrong. She raised her eyes and looked at Ming Xiu, who was always standing aside. He had no intention of stepping forward to save the situation, and just watched with a cold expression on his face.
