Two hundred and sixty-eighth chapter King of Germany
dilemma.
It should be the situation that Chu Ye is facing now.
Although the third prince seemed to be making a drunken and joking suggestion, Chu Ye did not believe that he was just saying it casually.
If you agree to discuss some alchemy techniques with the third prince, you will be directly labeled as the third prince in front of everyone. If nothing else, I am afraid that the eldest prince will be the first to hold a grudge against Chu Ye.
But if he doesn't agree, he will lose the face of the third prince in front of everyone. Even with the alchemist conference as a big tree behind him, Chu Ye will probably have to be more careful when going out in the future.
Just when Chu Ye was quickly thinking about how to avoid this 'death' problem, Dongfang Yao suddenly stood up.
"Third brother, you asked him to come to your house to discuss some alchemy techniques. Do you think that my little sister is not as good as him?"
Dongfang Yaolian moved lightly and walked to Chu Ye, "Don't think that if you perform better than me this time, you have defeated me. Let's see who can become a third-level alchemist first!"
Since childhood, Chu Ye was the first person to defeat her. Dongfang Yao was naturally unconvinced and wanted to win again. However, if Chu Ye was embarrassed by Dongfang Tianjian, he would not be able to continue to successfully improve his alchemy level, even in the future.
If she could defeat him, Dongfang Yao would feel that the victory was too much, so she would come out to rescue Chu Ye.
However, Dongfang Yao's sudden appearance made Dongfang Tianjian think wrong. He looked at Chu Ye and then at Dongfang Yao, with a smile of unknown meaning on his face.
"It turns out that this Brother Chu is the person that you have been looking forward to for a long time, my little sister, but it's me who is the third brother, so you two can chat. Third brother, I'm going back to drink!"
"Third brother!"
Dongfang Yao naturally understood what Dongfang Tianjian meant, and when she was about to refute, she suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips.
Dongfang Yao has naturally heard about the purpose of today's banquet. Instead of letting those young men from aristocratic families get entangled, it is better not to refute Dongfang Tianjian's words and block those stinky peach blossoms.
Dongfang Yao's silence made Dongfang Tianjian feel that he had guessed the whole story. As expected, he stopped trying to embarrass Chu Ye and went back to the banquet to drink with the other princes.
Seeing this, Chu Ye's original gratitude towards Dongfang Yao disappeared in an instant.
Although he didn't have to face the third prince to answer any difficult multiple-choice questions, he could feel the looks on him that he couldn't tell whether they were scrutiny or jealousy. Chu Ye really wished he hadn't come to attend this flower viewing party today.
"Princess Yao, you have done such harm to me."
Chu Ye pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, and couldn't help but whisper.
Dongfang Yao also felt a little sorry for Chu Ye, and followed Chu Ye's example and lowered her voice, "Jianghu comes to the rescue. If you help me this time, I won't treat you badly. Besides, I didn't refute just now, but...
Because Brother De Wang finally came out and took the initiative to hold a banquet today, and this princess didn’t want to cover up his limelight, so I let you take advantage of her verbally. Could it be that you still think that this princess is not worthy of you?!"
The more Dongfang Yao talked, the more it made sense, but he didn't specify what to say. After today, it would be fine if others saw that there was no other interaction between them. Why did Chu Ye look like he had suffered a big loss?
No one has ever disliked Dongfang Yao.
How could Chu Ye nod to admit this, and shook his head repeatedly: "How could I dislike the princess? I'm just worried that my little shoulders can't carry the princess's reputation."
Hearing this, Dongfang Yao's face became a little better, her head raised like a proud peacock, "Humph, it's good if you know."
"I know, princess, why don't we talk about how you can not treat me badly!"
…
Chu Ye didn't feel shy at all and started to ask Dongfang Yao for compensation. He couldn't just serve as a shield for nothing and gain nothing!
The original smile on Dongfang Yao's high-spirited face suddenly solidified. It seemed that it was not a good idea to use Chu Ye as a shield.
However, what Chu Ye and Dongfang Yao didn't know was that everyone who had some doubts about their relationship actually started whispering in front of everyone when they saw them, and all their doubts disappeared completely.
It seems that the relationship between these two people was not that simple after all!
Zhuang Heyun couldn't help but applaud Chu Ye crazily in her heart, 'Junior brother, this is the real person who doesn't show off his appearance, and he won the heart of the little princess of the Eastern Dynasty with one move. It's amazing, it's amazing!'
"King De has arrived~~~"
The sound of singing came and the garden became quiet in vain. Even Chu Ye and Dongfang Yao couldn't help but look towards the entrance of the garden.
At the entrance of the garden, two figures appeared. One of them, wearing a golden robe and luxurious clothes, was naturally the eldest prince Dongfang Tianming, and the other black figure was naturally the legendary King of Germany Dongfang Jungui.
Dongfang Tianming has a distinguished status, but most of the people present today recognize Dongfang Tianming, but King De is different. His first appearance in so many years naturally attracts attention.
Dongfang Jungui is tall and wears a black robe with complex dark patterns embroidered with peacock silk thread, making him look solemn without losing his identity.
However, as he walked in, everyone discovered that the legendary King De was actually a middle-aged man with a pale complexion. Although he was tall, he always looked sickly and seemed to have been sick all year round.
King De was a master of martial arts, but he could become so weak due to illness. No wonder he had been ill for so many years, and it turned out that he was really sick.
I just don’t know what the purpose of this virtuous king suddenly invited everyone to come today.
"Brother Dewang."
Dongfang Tianming invited Dewang Dongfang Jungui to the empty seat on the left hand side of the main seat, raised the wine glass in his hand, "Brother Dewang can come today, it is really a blessing, a glory! For Dewang
Brother, you should be enlightened!"
"The eldest prince is right..."
"It's so clear!"
As the eldest prince Dongfang Tianming raised his glass, everyone else raised their own glasses. Whether it was the eldest prince or King De, they all wanted to show face. Even the heads of the five major families and the seven surnames also raised their glasses.
Bei Yan smiled at Yan Yan.
However, as the absolute protagonist of this banquet, Dongfang Jungui never picked up the wine glass in front of him. The garden where Yan Yan was still smiling gradually became quiet, and then became so silent that even a pin could drop.
Hear it clearly.
The smile on the eldest prince's face had long since dissipated completely, and he looked at Dongfang Jungui with a pair of phoenix eyes with a bit of coldness.
"Brother Dewang, do you think the wine in my house tastes bad?"
Dongfang Jungui, who had been sitting quietly at the table, slowly raised his head and said, "The wine in Tianming Mansion is naturally good, but I only drink the wine I brew myself. After so many years, I have long been unable to drink other wines.
"
Dongfang Tianming's expression became better now. He was worried that Dongfang Jungui was going to cause trouble. He gradually calmed down and put a warm smile on his face.
I will go to Prince De’s Mansion to get some wine. Everyone, let’s wait for a moment and see how good the wine brewed by Brother De Wang is. It actually makes Brother De Wang unable to swallow other wines..."
"There is no need to go get the wine." Dongfang Jungui waved his hand, "I have already asked someone to bring the wine. If you don't mind, please taste it together." (To be continued)
