The noon banquet was a huge scene. Directly above, Xiao Yuan and Lu Yunyan sat side by side, and below on both sides were Minister Xuanguo, Xu Hu, Yan Ming and others.
Everyone has a case in front of them, and there are songs and dances in the middle to add to the fun.
The atmosphere was quite lively, but Yao Tingyu's food was tasteless and he sighed secretly from time to time.
However, some other Xuanguo ministers began to toast Xiao Yuan frequently.
Now the matter is a foregone conclusion. The two kings of Qin and Xuan are already engaged, and no one can change it. In the minds of some people, rather than holding an oppositional attitude and making the king of Qin angry, it is better to go with the flow, which will be reused in the future. Well.
In view of this, many people began to flatter him.
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Xiao Yuan is no exception. He will never spoil the fun on a happy day.
Amidst the hearty laughter, a minister also stood up quickly, picked up the wine glass, bowed upward and said: "Today the two kings are at the same table, and the whole world is celebrating. I am bold and want to use this wine to show my respect to the king and His Highness the King of Qin. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan also picked up the wine glass, with a smile on his face, looked at the minister and said: "Master Wei, you are so polite, come and drink together."
"Ah, I didn't expect that His Highness the King of Qin would still remember my name. I'm scared. Your Highness, please." Mr. Wei was overjoyed and drank it all in one gulp.
After the glass of wine was finished, other Xuanguo ministers came forward.
Xiao Yuan was also happy to be successfully engaged to his beloved, and he would not refuse anyone who proposed a toast.
Although Xuanjiu was not as strong as Qinjiu, Lu Yunyan could not help but turn her beautiful eyes as she watched him drink one cup after another. She looked at him and whispered, "Brother Wang, aren't you dizzy?"
Xiao Yuan was already a little drunk. He leaned forward slightly and said, "How can I spoil the fun today?"
Lu Yunyan said nothing more, but when another minister was about to make a toast, she glanced at the minister displeased and stopped him: "Stop respecting Brother Qin Wang."
"Ah? This." The minister paused for a moment, then quickly returned: "Yes."
As he spoke, he was ready to return to his seat.
But Xiao Yuan said indifferently: "Hey? Master Zhu, what are you doing? Come on, drink!"
"This..." One wanted to drink, but the other refused. The minister looked at Xiao Yuan, then looked at King Xuan cautiously, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Lu Yunyan waited for Xiao Yuan with beautiful eyes and complained slightly: "Brother Wang..."
"Don't spoil the fun." Xiao Yuan didn't pay too much attention and directly picked up the wine glass and drank with everyone again.
This is a subtle change.
In the past, when Xiao Yuan visited Xuan Kingdom as a guest, Lu Yunyan would always wink and ask people to toast, but now, he frequently stopped him, worried that Xiao Yuan would get drunk.
At this banquet, the atmosphere became more and more lively as he actively invited everyone to drink together. Many people had rosy faces after drinking. By the end, Xiao Yuan was also seventy or eighty percent drunk.
When the banquet was over, everyone bowed and left one after another, and Xiao Yuan stood up unsteadily.
Seeing that he seemed unsteady, Lu Yunyan quickly supported him and said angrily: "I won't let you drink, but you have to drink. It's better now."
Xiao Yuan chuckled and couldn't help but hold her little hand: "Daughter-in-law..."
"What?" Lu Yunyan's face turned red. Seeing how drunk he was, she complained and threw away his hand.
"Huh? I turned against you." Xiao Yuan was not happy at that time.
Lu Yunyan rolled her eyes at him silently. Seeing that he was still a little unsteady, she had to support him again and urged him: "Quickly, help Brother Wang go down and rest."
Finally, with the support of Xu Hu and Liang Yuan, Xiao Yuan was sent back to Xuandu Posthouse.
Because Lu Yunyan was a little worried, she also followed him, wiped his face with a wet towel in the room, covered him with a quilt, sat by the bed and took care of him for a long time, and then left.
After drinking this meal, Xiao Yuan was already unconscious and fell asleep. Little did he know that the queen had been waiting beside him for a long time until he fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, Xiao Yuan was still a little dazed due to being drunk yesterday. After taking a hot bath, he felt much better.
He had just dressed up and was about to go out, when Lu Yunyan came looking for him.
Today, she has changed out of her red makeup, but she is no longer dressed as a man in brocade, but as a classical beauty.
White dress, white ribbon, gentle hair accessories, no makeup on her face, but her skin is as good as snow, her facial features are exquisite, and her beautiful eyes are charming.
Looking at her beautiful face, Xiao Yuan smiled without blinking.
This warm gaze, and being looked at so directly, Lu Yunyan subconsciously lowered his head slightly, his beautiful eyes avoided, and whispered: "Brother Wang, what are you looking at, Brother Wang..."
"If you can marry Wang Mei, what more can you ask for?" Xiao Yuan said with a smile, while gently holding her hand and bringing her face to face with him.
Lu Yunyan's face turned red again.
After the engagement, the relationship between the two has obviously warmed up, and they already feel like a couple, but the woman is reserved. But looking at the charming girl in front of him, Xiao Yuan can't help but hug her waist, lower his head slightly, and press his lips to hers.
"Oh, no..." Lu Yunyan pushed him away.
Xiao Yuan suddenly became unhappy again. He couldn't touch his woman anymore?
He was about to say something, but Lu Yunyan blushed and said, "Brother Wang, I'm here to talk to you about business."
"Okay." Xiao Yuan was helpless after hearing this.
Lu Yunyan raised his head slightly, looked at him and said, "You, what are you going to do next?"
"What should we do? Of course we should marry Wang Mei as soon as possible." Xiao Yuan said directly.
"But it won't work." There was a trace of anxiety in Lu Yunyan's eyes: "The engagement has already encountered countless obstacles. If we talk about marriage now, those ministers will definitely not agree, especially Prime Minister Yao. If one does not Good, it will destabilize the political situation of Xuanguo."
Hearing what she said, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, frowned and said, "This Yao Tingyu! It's so hateful!"
"Brother Wang!" Lu Yunyan said in a somewhat complaining tone, "The Prime Minister has done nothing wrong. From his point of view, I can understand it. You can't bear grudges against him like this."
She was worried that one day, after marrying Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan would wear small shoes for Yao Tingyu.
It can also be seen from this that she actually respects Xuan Xiang very much.
"Yes, yes, I understand what Sister Wang said. You can rest assured about this." Xiao Yuan said helplessly, then thought for a moment and said: "However, since we are engaged, then we can Make some plans."
"Brother Wang means..." Lu Yunyan asked tentatively.
Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said: "First of all, regarding the Qinxuan merchants, we will change the customs clearance documents. Merchants from both places will be treated as domestic merchants. Then we will make more alliances in politics and military affairs..."
"After I return to Qin, I will send a letter to Sister Wang, asking Yao Tingyu to go to Qinzhou."
