Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

"Your Highness, Prince Xia, the dancer in the mansion is indeed extraordinary. Ming is in for a treat. I would like to give you a toast!" Ming Jialin raised his glass and said.

"Master Ming is so complimentary!"

Si Nanxing raised his glass and drank it down with Ming Jialin.

While Si Nanxing and Ming Jialin were drinking, other people on both sides were also toasting to each other. They only waved their big treasures and had nothing to do, feasting on the delicacies on the table.

The banquet seemed to be time for free expression. Ming-level Lin frequently toasted to Si Nanxing, and others also drank and drank, making the hall very lively.

In order not to attract attention, Heijia also pretended to signal to others every time in order not to attract attention. However, he also noticed that in the entire palace, only Nangong Xue'an was sitting at the table, and Bai Ling was behind her. Heijia ignored the entertainment...

As time went by, the faces of everyone in the hall gradually became a little drunk, and many people began to laugh with the dancer next to them. They were also a little tipsy when waving their big treasures. From time to time, they glanced at the dancer beside them, and they could only suppress it secretly. With a restless heart, at this moment, Ming Jilin raised his glass and said to Si Nanxing, "Your Highness, I would like to toast you again!"

"Master Ming, please!" Si Nanxing said.

The two of them put down their wine glasses and Mingji Lin said, "Your Highness, when I was in Zhaodu, I heard that His Highness King Xia has the body of a dragon and a phoenix. When I saw it today, it's really believable!"

Si Nanxing smiled and said, "Mr. Ming is so complimentary!"

Mingji Lin said, "Haha... Your Highness, King Xia, please stop being humble... By the way, Your Highness, King Xia, how old are you?"

Si Nanxing said, "This king is just around the corner..."

Lin Dao, Mingji, said, "Oh... the year of your establishment is the time to rise up. Your Highness will definitely reach the top of the sky!"

Si Nanxing smiled bitterly and said, "Ashamed... Ashamed... I'm just a king of Xia, how can I reach the top of the sky..."

Mingji Lin said, "Your Highness, King of Xia, don't be anxious. The big bird in the palace can only fly if it doesn't fly. It will soar into the sky. Your Highness, King of Xia, just hasn't had the right time...waiting to ride on the wind..."

Si Nanxing smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Ming, for your kind words... I just don't know when the gale will arrive!"

Ming-level Lin smiled and said, "Your Highness, King Xia, have you ever heard of 'getting married and establishing a career'? Only when you have a successful family can you establish a career. Maybe Your Highness just lacks this step now!"

Si Nanxing asked doubtfully, "Oh? I wonder what Mr. Ming means by getting married?"

Ming-level Lin smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, King Xia, will be turning thirty soon, but you heard that he still hasn't accepted the princess, right?"

Originally, the hall was very lively, but for some reason, after Ming Jialin finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent instantly.

The sudden change in the atmosphere in the hall shocked Hui Dabao. Originally, he had eaten and drank enough and was not socializing, so he secretly listened to the conversation between Si Nanxing and Ming Jialin. Unexpectedly, the other people in the hall, regardless of the exchange of wine and wine, also After observing the situation secretly, he realized that the group of people in front of him were by no means as mediocre as they appeared...

princess?

Si Nanxing's eyes kept flashing, and suddenly, he turned to look at Nangong Xue!

When Ming-level Lin saw Si Nanxing turning his eyes to Nangong Xue, he smiled and nodded, as if he had something to say...

Hui Dabao was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Did Ming Jialin mean that Nangong Xue and Si Nanxing were getting married? However, next to him, Nangong Xue lowered his head and drank tea with an expressionless expression, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with him...

Si Nanxing seemed to be aware of Nangong Xue's mood, a trace of doubt flashed across his face, and then he smiled, "I don't know what Mr. Ming meant when he asked me whether I would accept a concubine..."

Mingjie Lin laughed and said, "Haha... to be honest with His Highness King Xia... our Mingzhu Gong..."

"Report..." A loud shout suddenly came from outside the palace, directly interrupting Ming Jialin's words. A palace guard ran in, knelt in the palace, and said to Si Nanxing, "Report to your highness... Sir Quan, please see me!"

"Master Quan...is it Quan Cao?" Ning Xuyou stood up and asked.

Fu Wei said, "It's... Quan Cao... Lord Quan!"

"Huh, why is he here? Doesn't he know that His Highness is receiving distinguished guests?" Ning Xuyou said angrily.

The palace guard trembled and said, "My subordinate...has already informed Mr. Quan...but, he insists on visiting His Highness!"

"What a bunch of trash!"

After Ning Xuyou scolded Jiawei, he turned to look at Si Nanxing, but Si Nanxing just glanced at him and lowered his head to drink.

Ning Xuyou was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to the palace guard, "Go out and tell Mr. Quan that His Highness has important guests tonight and you really can't move away. Ask him to come back tomorrow..."

"Haha...His Royal Highness King Xia...Your Majesty Quancao is here to pay your respects..."

Quan Cao's laughter suddenly came from outside the hall!

Quan Cao strode into the hall, followed by six guards in armor. However, when he stepped into the hall, he waved his hand and the guards behind him all exited the hall.

Quan Cao's sudden arrival attracted everyone's attention. Hui Dabao knew the true nature of Quan Cao and was calm in his heart. On the contrary, Ming Jilin and others showed a trace of doubt on their faces.

"Your Highness, King Xia, please forgive me for visiting me late at night!" Quan Cao came to the palace and saluted Si Nanxing.

Before Si Nanxing could speak, Ning Xuyou said first, "Sir Quan, you must have something urgent to ask His Highness for instructions. However, Your Highness is currently receiving distinguished guests. If it is not a very important matter, can you report back tomorrow!"

Quan Cao smiled and said, "Haha, Mr. Ning misunderstood. Quan has nothing important to report to His Highness... The official came to visit late at night just because he was busy with court affairs. He had a few drinks in the evening and suddenly became interested. , I wanted to have a few drinks with His Highness King Xia, so I came to visit late at night, but I didn’t expect to find His Highness entertaining distinguished guests, so I’m sorry for disturbing you, Your Highness!”

Si Nanxing smiled and said, "Master Quan is working hard for the court, what's the crime? You just need to pay more attention to your health..."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness... Your Highness, Prince Xia, originally, I knew you were hosting a banquet for distinguished guests, and I actually wanted to return. However, I smelled the aroma of wine while standing outside the palace. The wine in Prince Xia's Palace really aroused my thirst for wine." Chong, I wonder if I can ask for a drink as well!" Quan Cao said with a half-smile.

Si Nanxing hesitated and said, "In this case... I am mainly entertaining distinguished guests from the Dongyi Kingdom today... I am afraid that I will lose the diplomatic etiquette... Why not invite Mr. Quan to drink in his house another day..."

Quan Cao said, "It shouldn't matter... Dongyi is a big country, so the envoys must have a lot of ambitions... They don't stick to trivial matters..." After looking around, his eyes fell on Ming Jialin, and he saluted him, "Xiaguan Mo If you guess wrong, you should be Mr. Ming!"

Ming-level Lin stood up and returned the courtesy, "Xiaguan Dongyi Guo Ming-level Lin..."

Quan Cao smiled and said, "Mr. Ming, I, Quan Cao, am the chief supervisor of internal affairs. I have heard your name many times in newspapers and newspapers. I can say that I have been friends with you for a long time. When I meet you today, your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"

Ming-level Lin laughed and said, "Master Ming is ridiculously complimentary!"

"Master Ming... I'm so disturbed tonight... It's just a beautiful time... I'm feeling elegant... Can I ask you for a drink?"

Ming Jialin smiled and said, "Haha... Mr. Quan is serious. Meeting good friends over wine is a rare blessing. It's just a matter of guest and host, it depends on His Highness King Xia's wishes!"
