As the head of the East Palace Internal Affairs Office, Xiao Xian was asked to accompany Shen Yue. Although he was a little unhappy, he finally compromised.
At this time, Xiao Xian set his sights on Prince Jin, who was not far away. This prince had always been at odds with the prince and was one of the popular candidates for the throne.
The King of Jin kept casting his gaze at Prince Gao Zongxian in the distance, with a sinister smile on his face.
"It seems that His Highness Prince Jin intends to deal with the Crown Prince, but it will not be so easy." Xiao Xian thought secretly in his heart.
He believed that Gao Zongxian's character would never agree to anyone easily.
Gao Zongxian was also very uncomfortable being stared at from a distance, so he thought about it for a while.
Raising a toast to King Jin, this scene made Xiao Xian sneer in his heart.
"Prince Jin, I would like to offer you a glass of wine!" Gao Zongxian picked up the wine pot and filled the wine cup in front of him with wine.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
As he spoke, King Jin raised his wine cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, Gao Zongxian also raised his head and drank, but his face was a little red. It was obvious that this glass of wine was a bit strong.
After putting down the wine cup, Gao Zongxian looked at King Jin with a smile, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his younger brother.
Prince Jin looked directly at him, with a glint in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth curved.
"His Royal Highness has a good drinking capacity. Come on, let's continue!" Gao Zongxian said with a smile.
"I'll stay with you until the end!" King Jin said boldly, and then picked up the wine cup.
Gao Zongxian touched it, raised his head and took a deep breath.
"Happy!" Gao Zongxian laughed, and then raised the wine cup on the table.
"Please." King Jin also smiled, raised the wine cup, and drank it in one gulp.
Next, the two of them went back and forth, you toasted me a toast, I toasted you a toast, and before they knew it, a jar of fine wine was finished by the two of them.
Xiao Xian felt speechless for a while, otherwise how could he say that Gao Zongxian was just a martial artist, with such simple and crude methods.
Xiao Xian originally didn't want to take care of it, but he saw that the atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became weird.
Now that he has come to this step, let him help control it to prevent him from causing trouble again.
With this thought, Xiao Xian raised the wine bottle and walked towards King Jin in the distance.
"Your Highness, I am brave enough to have a drink with you."
Upon hearing his words, King Jin turned his head to look at him, startled slightly, and then became furious.
"Who are you! How dare you drink with me!"
A look of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Xian's face, and he immediately explained: "Your Highness, please calm down. I am just toasting, and I have no intention of offending Your Highness."
"A toast? How dare you, a slave, talk to me like this? You are overstepping your bounds. According to the law, you will punish the nine tribes!" King Jin pointed at Xiao Xian and scolded him sternly.
After hearing his words, Xiao Xian's expression did not change and he remained calm.
"Your Highness, what you said is wrong. I am just toasting you with a drink on behalf of Your Highness. How can it be considered as overstepping the mark?"
"You!" After hearing his words, King Jin was stunned and did not refute for a long time.
"Your Highness, today is the day for all nations to meet. If you insist on doing this, you will appear to be petty." Xiao Xian said with a smile.
"Huh!" King Jin snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth twitching continuously. He didn't expect that this little eunuch could be so sharp-tongued, which was really annoying.
But with so many pairs of eyes staring around him, he had no choice but to hold back the anger in his heart and raised his wine cup to signal Xiao Xian.
Xiao Xian immediately returned the gift, then picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing such a scene, the surrounding ministers also looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment.
"Come on, let's continue, Your Highness, please!" Xiao Xian said with a smile.
King Jin gritted his teeth and glared at him, then picked up the wine cup, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Only one person in the court cast an admiring glance at Xiao Xian, and it was Grand Master Xiao Zhengguo.
"Xian'er can be so courageous. It seems that the subsequent plans can be accelerated." Xiao Zhengguo thought to himself.
"Hmph, let's let you be arrogant for a while and see if you can still laugh later." Prince Jin thought bitterly in his heart.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall began to become weird, and everyone felt a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
Xiao Xian smiled and exchanged words with King Jin. Every time King Jin was about to get angry, Xiao Xian would change the topic just right.
"Your Highness, why are you looking a little red? Have you drunk too much?"
"That's nonsense. Gu's drinking capacity is famous all over the world. How could he get drunk?" King Jin was furious.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Gao Zongxian stood up immediately, and everyone else knelt down to greet him.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Gao Sheng walked into the banquet hall with a smile and sat down next to Gao Zongxian.
"Envoys from all countries, be safe!"
As his voice fell, everyone stood up.
"Today is the festival of Dachu. We specially invite envoys from various countries to the banquet. I hope that the friendship between all countries will last forever!" Gao Sheng said loudly with a smile.
Gao Zongxian immediately stood up, took a glass of wine, and took the lead in saying: "Father, your holy life is boundless!"
"Long live my father! Long live my father!"
Gao Sheng raised the wine cup and took a sip, then looked at the ministers below and said slowly: "I am hosting a banquet for envoys from various countries today in order to promote the exchanges and harmony between my country and the surrounding countries, so as to make the country stronger. Here’s a toast to the envoys from all countries!”
"Long live your majesty!"
"Envoys from various countries have worked hard, come and do it!" Gao Sheng raised the wine glass in his hand again, gestured to the envoys from various countries below, and then raised his head and drank it down.
"Your Majesty is wise!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Envoys please!"
As Gao Sheng's voice fell, the envoys from various countries raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.
"Father, I would like to give you a drink." Prince Jin also raised his glass and said with a respectful expression.
Gao Sheng looked at King Jin and nodded, reached for the wine jar and poured him a glass of wine. Then he looked at the envoys with a smile and asked, "Everyone, what do you think of this wine?"
"Your Majesty's wine is indeed hard to find in the world and is endlessly memorable." The blond man at the head of the delegation praised.
"That's good." Gao Sheng had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I thought..." At this moment, a minister suddenly stood up and said, "I have an uninvited request, and I hope your Majesty will agree to it."
Gao Sheng frowned, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he slowly asked: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, today is a grand event. Why not let my warriors from the South Vietnam countries compete with your country to add to the fun? I wonder if your Majesty will allow it?"
Hearing the words of the South Vietnamese minister, Gao Sheng's eyes rolled around, and he seemed to be in hesitation. After half a minute, he said slowly: "There is no need to compete. After all, they are all envoys, so it is not appropriate to hurt them." Peaceful."
