Chapter 136: Six sons of the prince were injured or killed

"Pei Xiangmiao praises!"

"Liaozhou is not as good as Zhuzhou!"

Although Fang Yuan knew that Pei Ji had no good intentions.

But in this case, he can only pretend that he doesn't know.

At this time, many governors looked at Fang Yuan with somewhat different eyes.

"Prefect Fang, Prime Minister Pei is probably tired after walking for a long time. Let's go to the reception area."

Seeing something was wrong, Princess Xiangcheng interrupted.

"What the princess said is absolutely true. Please princess, Prime Minister Pei and all the gentlemen, move to the guest house."

Fang Yuan looked at Princess Xiangcheng with grateful eyes and said slowly.

Everyone set off, no one needed to guide them, they all knew where the guest house was.

Soon, everyone returned to the Guest House and were slightly surprised when they saw the lobby on the first floor.

When I went out, there was almost nothing on the first floor of the guest house, but now it has changed drastically. It has become a decoration for welcoming guests, with young and beautiful women standing on both sides.

"Please take your seats, Prime Minister Pei and the princess."

Fang Yuan made the invitation.

And asked Lu Xia to add another seat next to Pei Ji.

The original layout did not know that Princess Xiangcheng would also come, and only arranged a place for Pei Ji.

When Lu Xia arrived, she almost screamed when she saw Princess Xiangcheng. Unexpectedly, Li Wanxiu, whom she had met before, turned out to be the princess.

Fortunately, she had already learned that Qin Huaiyu and others were the sons of the Duke, and she could still accept the appearance of an extra princess, so she was not too shocked.

Soon, everyone was seated.

The food and wine haven't been served yet, now it's time for the families from Hedong to pay their respects.

Some noble families from Hedong have arrived from outside Liaozhou, and now is the time for them to pay homage to Pei Ji.

It can be said that the welcome to Pei Ji this time is unprecedented. Not only all the high-ranking officials of Hedong Province will welcome him, but also local wealthy families will come to welcome him.

This kind of treatment has never been enjoyed by the emperor even when he went to other places. It is really an extraordinary favor from the court and the emperor to Pei Ji.

Naturally, only representatives of the top noble families in Hedong are qualified to visit Pei Ji.

Among them are the three tribes of Hedong.

Liu Yongshou, Xue Wenbo, and Pei Yonghan all arrived.

"Are you Pei Yonghan?"

"Come, sit here with grandpa."

When the three clans paid their respects, Pei Ji looked at Pei Yonghan kindly.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Pei Yonghan saluted respectfully and came to sit next to Pei Ji.

Everyone present looked at it with different expressions, but no one spoke.

It is obviously inappropriate for a junior like Pei Yonghan to sit together on such an occasion.

Although Pei Yonghan is not much younger than Fang Yuan, because of the name Pei Ji's grandfather, everyone no longer regards him as a representative of the beloved Pei family, but as a descendant two generations behind.

After the families in Hedong paid their respects to Pei Ji, it was time for dinner.

"Serve food and wine!"

Fang Yuan glanced at Pei Yonghan and said loudly.

After hearing Fang Yuan's order, Lu Xia immediately ordered the kitchen to serve food and wine.

As soon as the high-concentration liquor appeared, the scene was immediately filled with the strong aroma of wine.

"What kind of wine is this?!"

"Why does it smell so strong?!"

Many people are talking about it.

I am very curious about the wines on sale.

Many of them love wine.

Even Pei Ji is a person who likes to drink.

Many people looked at Fang Yuan, waiting for Fang Yuan's explanation.

"This is a new wine, which is presented to the world for the first time. It is called high-quality wine."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

The current wine is only distilled and purified.

Fang Yuan also asked Juzi and the others to research on sauce-flavored, strong-flavored, light-flavored, special-flavored, etc.

However, wine is not something that is important to study, nor is it something that Fang Yuan values, so it depends on luck and time to create wine with different aromas.

"What is high alcohol?!"

Everyone is puzzled.

But I heard that this kind of wine is not available outside now, and it should be a new product in Liaozhou.

Many people picked up the wine bottle and took a whiff, and suddenly felt the strong smell of wine. They felt like they were being choked and coughed repeatedly.

Li Ji looked at them and almost laughed. He had already tasted this kind of wine last night. He usually didn't get drunk after drinking several large bowls, but he almost got drunk after just a few glasses last night.

“Good wine!”

Many people lamented.

But I didn’t drink it immediately.

After all, Pei Ji and the princess are both here.

"Everyone, please serve me a glass of wine and wish Prime Minister Pei a successful career!"

Princess Xiangcheng poured herself a glass of wine, raised it and looked around everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Pei Ji.

"Thank you, Princess."

"Everyone, your Majesty."

Pei Ji's eyes flashed coldly.

He is not becoming an official yet, but is just looking for a place to retire.

However, Princess Xiangcheng said that she would be a perfect official, which made him feel unhappy and a little ashamed.

Because anyone who really knows the truth knows that he was forced to serve by the emperor, not voluntarily.

However, not many people know this, and only a few of the court ministers know it, so there is no need to care.

Pei Yonghan filled a glass of wine for Pei Ji, filled a glass of wine himself, shared the glasses with everyone, and then one glass fell down.

time.

The expressions of many people at the scene changed drastically.

They all inevitably coughed up and choked on the alcohol.

Compared with the alcohol they usually drink, the alcohol is at least three times higher.

Fortunately, some people had picked up the flask and smelled it before, and were prepared, so they were not choked by the intensity.

"Ahem...what kind of wine is this? Isn't it too bad to drink?!"

Pei Yonghan coughed repeatedly, choked out his drink, splashed all over his body, and turned red.

There was Princess Xiangcheng who was similar to him, but Princess Xiangcheng just covered her mouth and blushed.

Although the remaining officials and representatives of the aristocratic families coughed, they drank the wine and even looked like they were still unfinished.

After Pei Yonghan finished speaking, he subconsciously felt something was wrong. He looked around and felt something bad.

Looking at Pei Ji again, he found that Pei Ji was giving him a dark look. Pei Yonghan immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

“Good wine!”

"This is the best wine I've had since I was marching and fighting."

Li Ji cheered.

He praised the high-quality wine from the bottom of his heart.

The alcohol content of the previous alcohol was too low, and I always felt very strong when I drank it, without that kind of artistic conception.

But this kind of high-altitude wine is different. You can enjoy this artistic conception with a slight taste, which is the kind of artistic conception that drinkers like.
