The waning moon shines brightly.
Next to it, dark clouds filled the air, as if the huge mouth of the abyss would swallow up the moonlight at any time.
Below, on the Xiangshui River, the water reflects the moon, which is so beautiful.
In the middle of the river, a flower boat is docked. On the flower boat, countless lanterns hang upside down, and the lights are shining, so beautiful.
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important festivals in Dashang. Worshiping gods and ancestors will be held on this day.
After ancestor worship, the family dinner is also an essential process.
There have been many precedents for the queen or prince to come forward to entertain the princes and nobles of the capital like today.
In the flower boat, Queen Changsun, Mu Xizi and other royal family members took their seats one after another, symbolizing the official start of the Dragon Boat Festival dinner.
The opening remarks were as without any nutrition as usual, just some meaningless polite words, and then they toasted and drank together. Basically, the princes and nobles present were just like Li Ziye, they all came after a full meal, because, It was very difficult to eat enough at a banquet held by the royal family.
There are a lot of dishes, but there are so many etiquette rules that there are too few times to use chopsticks.
Even if someone like Li Ziye, who is of average quality and doesn't care much about face, strives to get a big mouthful of food every time he puts down his chopsticks, he still can't fill his stomach.
"Prince Ganyang."
Not long after the banquet started, the queen looked at Li Ziye from the main seat and called out.
In the seat, Li Ziye was sitting there, thinking about things, and did not hear the queen's call. Of course, the main reason was that the title was too unfamiliar and could not effectively trigger the keyword.
"Young Master, the Queen has called you."
On the side, Yu Qingxuan saw that his young master had no reaction, and immediately reminded him in a low voice.
"calls me?"
Li Ziye was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted.
It seemed to be calling him.
The Li family was granted a title and the land of Ganyang, so it would be correct to call him the Crown Prince of Ganyang.
This is an awkward title for his uncle.
"I'm here."
After a moment of brainstorming, Li Ziye stood up, bowed respectfully, and called, "Empress."
"The Crown Prince of Ganyang is the new title of the Li family. Today's dinner can be regarded as a celebration banquet for the Li family. The Crown Prince should give more toasts to the princes present." Empress Changsun looked at the legitimate son of the Li family in the seat and said with a smile.
Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the queen's suggestion.
Can he say those three indecent words?
What is supposed to come, will not be able to escape after all.
If the royal family didn't cause him some trouble, it wouldn't be the royal family.
During the banquet, when the princes and nobles heard the Queen's words, they all looked at the legitimate son of the Li family in the middle of the banquet. Their eyes were not so friendly.
The aristocratic class of Dashang has long been solidified, and there are very few commoners who have been granted titles. There are basically one hundred nobles, and ninety-nine of them are from famous families.
Under such a disparity in proportions, Li Ziye, who was born in a merchant family, seemed so abrupt.
In front of the banquet, Wan Rongrong also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere and turned around worriedly.
On the side, Princess Guanshan frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
"Your Majesty."
At this time, beside the Queen, Mu Xizi took the initiative to speak and said softly, "I have always heard that Crown Prince Gan Yang has extraordinary talents and learning, and I have always wanted to ask for advice. With this glass of wine, I respect the Crown Prince."
When the eldest princess Xizi finished speaking, everyone present was in an uproar. No one expected that the eldest princess would take the initiative to condescend and propose a toast to a minister.
Li Ziye's face became a little strange when he saw the eldest princess's behavior.
This double act should be so obvious.
As an actor, there is no requirement for acting skills. This requirement is indeed too much. However, it is not too much to pretend to have acting skills, right?
How could he answer such an obvious double act?
"My lord, I don't dare."
After briefly brewing his emotions, Li Ziye raised his glass and said respectfully, "I should be the one who respects the eldest princess."
"Your Majesty, you are welcome."
Mu Xizi also stood up and responded to show his dignity.
When the surrounding princes saw this scene, their faces became even more ugly.
"Boy, you are about to become the public enemy of all nobles."
Sitting on the seat not far away, Leru felt the atmosphere around him, turned the wine glass in his hand, and reminded through the voice, "This eldest princess was the object of admiration of many princes back then."
"I can tell."
Li Ziye sent a message and responded, "Then what can be done? The eldest princess is toasting. I can't let her go. We should deal with it first. When the soldiers come, we will cover up the water and the earth."
"what ever."
Le Ru nodded and said, "I just want to remind you that this eldest princess was also a famous figure in the past, but she has been hidden in the palace for the past ten years and there has been no news. If possible, it is best not to provoke her."
"Don't worry, Master. If we don't provoke her, I will definitely let her go." Li Ziye responded casually.
"..."
Le Ru was speechless and ignored this vulgar guy.
In the spotlight of everyone, after Li Ziye toasted to the eldest princess, he began to take the initiative to get close to the princes and toast.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. In this kind of public place, and with the Queen's presence, no one dared to go too far.
"Princess, I would like to give you a toast."
During this period, many princes and nobles took the initiative to toast Mu Xizi, and their attitudes were many times stronger than when they faced Li.
"Princess, I also want to toast you."
After a round of toasts, Li Ziye looked at Princess Guanshan in front of him and said seriously, "I will always keep your kindness in mind, and I will not forget the things I promised you back then."
"Teacher Li, you're welcome."
Princess Guanshan sighed in her heart, raised her glass and responded, "To be polite, I won't say much more about my concubine. I hope Professor Li can get what he wants in his heart."
Li Ziye nodded and drank the wine in one gulp without saying another word.
Seeing this, Wan Rongrong wanted to raise a glass in return, but was suppressed by Princess Guanshan who was standing beside her.
"Li Jiaoxi has drunk a lot today, Rongrong, please don't toast to him anymore." Princess Guanshan looked at her daughter beside her and said softly.
Wan Rongrong was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what his mother's words meant.
Brother Li is already a great practitioner of the Five Realms. It is impossible to get drunk after drinking this amount of wine.
Li Ziye heard the conversation between the two, smiled, said nothing, returned to his seat and sat down again.
"Your Majesty, the glass of wine just now does not count. I would like to propose another glass to you."
At this moment, Mu Xizi, who was supposed to be toasted by the royal dignitaries at his seat, stood up and came to the banquet, poured two glasses of wine himself, and raised his glasses in toast.
Suddenly, during the banquet, all the princes and nobles looked at him, and their expressions changed again.
On the seat, Li Ziye saw the eldest princess's behavior and smiled instead of being angry. Knowing that he could not escape, he raised his glass openly and said, "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
After saying that, Li Ziye covered his face with his sleeves and drank the whole glass of wine in one gulp.
Seeing the attitude of the young man in front of him, Mu Xizi smiled slightly and drank his own wine.
"Princess, you've also drank some wine."
After a glass of wine, Li Ziye looked at the woman in front of him, opened his mouth, and said via voice, "Can you get out of here?"
