Because it was rare for the prince to come to the palace as a guest, Wei Zijin specially ordered the kitchen to prepare more exquisite side dishes and took a jar of pear blossoms to brew them.
Now that spring has come, it is a good time to drink pear blossom wine. When Xiao Changgong smelled the aroma of the wine, he knew that the wine was pear blossom wine. His eyes lit up: "My nephew knows that he can drink good wine in the emperor's uncle's house."
!”
When Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin heard this, they couldn't help laughing. When a glass of wine was placed in front of Xiao Changgong, Xiao Jingyao picked up the glass and said with a smile: "This is brewed by your aunt, please try it!"
Xiao Changgong was even more respectful to Wei Zijin. He picked up the wine glass and tasted the pear blossom wine carefully. Until he finished the glass of wine, the faint aroma of the wine still lingered on the tip of his tongue.
"How does it taste?" Wei Zijin asked funnyly, seeing his intoxicated appearance.
Xiao Changgong nodded, put down his wine glass and exclaimed: "Auntie Huang is really good at craftsmanship, she can make such a fine wine!"
After he said that, he simply took the wine bottle and began to drink it himself: "Uncle and Aunt Huang, do you mind if I drink a few more glasses?"
"As long as you don't get too drunk..." Jamel Xiao nodded happily, pointed at the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "Wine tasting is good, but don't forget to eat more dishes!"
Xiao Changgong nodded repeatedly, tasting wine and eating vegetables at the same time, what a pleasure!
Wei Zijin saw that he had already drank several glasses of wine and was reluctant to put down the wine glass. He smiled and said: "Chang Gong, since you like this pear blossom wine so much, I will give you two jars and send someone to your east palace later!"
Xiao Changgong was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked Wei Zijin: "Auntie Huang, you are indeed beautiful and kind-hearted, thank you very much Auntie Huang!"
Wei Zijin was amused by him and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Isn't today's dish sweet?"
Xiao Changgong was stunned for a moment, then deliberately took a few more bites of the food, shook his head and said with confusion: "It's not sweet..."
"Why does your mouth look like it's covered with honey?" Wei Zijin joked, holding back his laughter. Only then did Xiao Changgong realize that the aunt was making fun of him, touched the tip of her nose, and laughed innocently.
This meal was delicious. Xiao Changgong has not had a meal with his father for a long time. In addition, his mother and concubine died early. His only relative, his mother and concubine, also died. Now he is in Luoyang Palace, with his uncle and his aunt.
During the meal, he actually felt the long-lost family affection!
Until the leftover soup was removed, Xiao Changgong was still looking at Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin silently, filled with emotion in his heart.
Seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, Wei Zijin thought he was drunk, so he quickly asked Qiao Xiang to bring him a cup of hot tea to wake him up, and asked with concern: "Chang Gong, are you drunk?"
Xiao Changgong came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't underestimate your nephew's drinking capacity!"
When he said this, he suddenly remembered that he had heard the legend that Wei Zijin never got drunk after a thousand cups, and asked curiously: "Auntie Huang, I heard that you have a good capacity for drinking. I wonder if this is true?"
Before Wei Zijin could answer, Xiao Jingyao smiled again and said, "Do you want to have a drinking contest with your aunt?"
Xiao Changgong was guessed by Xiao Jingyao, but he did not deny it. He proposed enthusiastically: "I wonder what the emperor's wishes are?"
Seeing his warm invitation, Wei Zijin said with a smile: "If you want to have a drinking fight, that's fine, but you have to wait until the murderer who sent the assassin is caught. It's not too late to fight again!"
Hearing this, Xiao Changgong looked stern and nodded solemnly: "That's a deal! When we catch the person behind the scenes, we'll have a good drinking fight!"
