Chapter 685 Night Banquet (2)
People who really like to drink will not always use their immortal power to resist the alcohol power, but will restrain the immortal power and allow themselves to fully enjoy the pleasure brought to their body and mind by the wine.
Jin Ling has always been like this when drinking.
Therefore, after half of the banquet, he was already drunk and drunk. In addition to maintaining a little alert in his mind so that he could sense danger at any time, he simply let go.
In addition to toasting, he even sent cigarettes to Shang Zhen and the surrounding powerful people. Jin brand cigarettes were popular in the Northern Jin Kingdom for many years, and everyone was not rejected. For a moment, the banquet was filled with mist and the smoke was filled with smoke.
"Boy, do you remember what I mentioned to you?" Shang Zhen seemed to be drinking too high, "I said, when you return from Shanhai Sect, you will marry Shang Ran."
As soon as these words came out, the princes and powerful men nearby suddenly became quiet. Shang Ran lowered his head and looked at the bottom of the table with a red face, as if there was something fun under the table.
"Your Majesty." Jin Ling smiled bitterly, "Didn't Your Majesty recognize Qing Han as his adopted daughter and also named her princess? I am his brother, and with such an identity, how can I talk about marriage with the Eleventh Princess?"
"What's wrong with this?" Shang Zhen didn't care. "First of all, you have no real blood relationship with Qinghan, but just a nominal brother and sister. Secondly, you have no real blood relationship with Qinghan, but just a nominal father and daughter. As long as you are interested, it will not be a problem."
"After all, it doesn't sound nice to say it." At this time, Jin Ling could only pretend to be confused. "What's more, Xiaochen's trip to Shanhai Sect really saw the vastness of the world of immortal cultivators, and knew that there were people outside of others and there was heaven. Xiaochen was still young and had a straightforward personality. He really had no idea about starting a family and building a career and being bound by his family business."
His polite refusal made the atmosphere in the meal quite awkward for a moment.
Shang Ran, who was nearby, blushing and bowing his head, seemed to have made up his mind and brought a glass of wine to toast Shang Zhen, looking like he didn't care about the matter at all: "Father, we are indeed young and are not in a hurry to talk about marriage."
"Oh?" Shang Zhen narrowed his eyes.
"Father, my son once made an army oath." Shang Ran's face turned red and retreated, replacing it with a strong face. "In recent years, Baiyue, Shangui, and Lou Fang, outside the southern territory of the kingdom, have been uneasy and have had troubles many times. My son once made an oath that he would have to pacify the three barbarians in his lifetime. The three barbarians were injustice, regardless of marriage."
"Oh?" Shang Zhen was skeptical. However, no matter what, Shang Ran's words greatly resolved the embarrassment caused by Jin Ling's refusal just now, so he had to take advantage of the situation. "Okay. The three mankinds are also the lone king's confidant. I believe that pacifying the southern border is just around the corner, and we will discuss this matter with you later."
He raised his glass to face the ministers: "Come on, my dear friends, let's drink this cup together!"
The banquet continued until late at night before gradually dispersing. The princes and ministers left the palace in groups of three or three and were picked up by carriages and horses from each family.
Jin Ling was taken out of the palace by the royal servants in a dizzy manner. In the square outside the palace, Lao Yihe, the guard captain of the Ministry’s Office, and Lan Shuixiu, the head of the internal affairs officer, were already waiting with a carriage.
However, before going, I was blocked by someone.
The visitor was the second prince Shang Yu.
"See Your Highness." Although drunk, Jin Ling still did not lose his manners.
"Jin Ling." Shang Yu's face was gloomy, and there seemed to be a fire in his eyes. "Congratulations on your return after studying."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"I believe you know what I'm here to do for you." Shang Yu said, "I hope you can serve me. I will give you twice the land, money, or resources for immortal cultivation."
This is to win over himself. Jin Ling smiled and shook his head.
"Don't you believe it?" Shang Yu said, "You just came back and may not be clear. In the past four years, it is not only you, Jinyuan, who have undergone tremendous changes. In the past four years, I have basically controlled the military and political power in the court, and more than 80% of the ministers are the only ones who follow me. The eldest brother is kind, but not a powerful wise ruler. You should understand the principle of choosing a good lord and serving."
"I'm sorry, the Second Prince." Jin Ling smiled and turned around and left, "Good Lord? The good Lord in my eyes is not Your Majesty, nor the Great Prince, nor you, but the people of the entire Northern Jin Kingdom. Although you are powerful, you are not good to the people."
He walked firmly without looking back and went straight to the carriage at the Master Mansion.
Looking at his background, the murderous intent in the eyes of His Highness the Second Prince increased sharply.
"See Lord." Lao Yihe and Lan Shuixiu asked Jin Ling for peace.
"It's you." Jin Ling said, "It's the palace who notified you to pick up people?"
"Yes, Lord Jue, I informed me to wait here early in the morning." Lan Shuixiu bowed and said, "I haven't seen you for four years. Lord Jue has grown taller and stronger. It's a blessing for the Jue Mansion to be successful."
Lao Yihe didn't talk much, but just lifted the curtain and asked Jin Ling to get on the car. Then Lan Shuixiu took two hot towels from somewhere, and got on the car and sat next to Jin Ling.
The carriage began to drive away from the palace.
Lan Shuixiu wiped Jin Ling's face with a towel: "The Lord was working hard all the way, and he didn't even clean his face well, and he drank so much wine. I wiped the Lord."
"Then there will be Sister Lao Lan." Jin Ling enjoyed the joy brought by the wine comfortably, lying on the soft cushion of the carriage.
Lan Shuixiu's body was slightly bent, perhaps intentionally, and her body was almost half attached to the young man's body, and the plump protrusion touched his arm. Even when wiping her face, her face was very close, and Jin Ling even felt the woman's approaching breath.
The light in the small carriage was dim and only a small light stone illuminated it. The passengers were the only two of them, sitting close to each other, taking care of them, which was a bit ambiguous.
With the care of a beautiful woman, this ambiguity continued all the way, and Jin Ling did not resist it. On the contrary, he felt a burst of pleasure, and even some part of his body was about to move.
Lan Shuixiu also noticed such a strange thing, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.
The Interior Superintendent of the Ministry of Jue's Office, sent by the Royal Interior Department, has been told many things long ago. He is nearly thirty years old and naturally knows a lot of things. To be honest, entering the upper level of Jinyuan with his beauty and even mastering some of the affairs of Jinyuan is also one of the tasks he has suffered.
The carriage quickly returned to the Bujue Mansion. Lan Shui Suo took Jin Ling to the residence. The residence was already packed, everything was ready, and even the hot water for bathing was put in place.
"I change my clothes and bathe for the lord." Lan Shuixiu said, and was about to take off Jin Ling.
"No, no. Sister Shuixiu, please go out, I will do it myself." Jin Ling refused quickly. It would be fine to play with some little ambition, but you can't act seriously.
Lan Shuixiu smiled and said, "It is our duty to serve the master to take a bath. In the kingdom, not all the slaves of any official and noble family..."
"Okay, Sister Shuixiu." Jin Ling's face gradually became solemn.
"Okay, it's up to you." Lan Shuixiu smiled, put down the towel and clean pajamas, twisted her slender waist and walked out of the bathroom. The twisting figure fell firmly into the boy's heart.
"This fairy." He let out a long sigh, closed the door, and Jin Ling began to take off his clothes and take a shower, but what he kept savoring was the soft touch that had touched the carriage, and what kept flashing in front of him seemed to be her twisting waist...
