Halfway through the dinner, Emperor Tianyin took Concubine Xiao and left first, and Princess Mingyan also left after a while because of physical discomfort.
Ming Cang is in charge of the whole dinner party.
"His Royal Highness." An attendant quietly came to Ming Cang's side and bent down to transmit the sound.
"How is it?" Ming Cang pursed his thin lips slightly, hooking the wine cup in front of him with his fingertips, still maintaining the royal smile on his face.
"Young Master Shao ran away halfway, but he hasn't been found yet."
"Trash, I can't even look down on a drunk person." The man flicked the edge of the wine cup, frowning slightly.
"It's because the subordinates are incompetent. We have already sent someone to look for it. If we think about it in a while, we will have news of Mr. Shao."
"Half an hour." The handsome man sitting there stood up slowly, with a wine cup in his hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "If you can't find anyone, you don't have to come to see me."
"His Royal Highness." At this moment, Young Master Ouyang came over and saluted Ming Cang.
"Young Master Ouyang." Ming Cang nodded kindly, "Princess Mingyan's birthday has worked hard these days, General Fuguo, and the huge imperial palace can be arranged in an orderly manner. General Fuguo is really the pillar of the country."
"Your Highness, the Prince, really disrespected my father. These are all my father's responsibilities. We Ouyang family members would never dare to take credit for it." Mr. Ouyang's tone was humble. Most of them are arrogant and domineering, but they have to become respectful when facing Ming Cang.
Ming Cang raised his eyebrows, and then quickly raised them up, "It's not that this prince is deliberately exaggerating and saying something without evidence. Everything you said just now was said by His Majesty himself, and this prince is just conveying it on your behalf."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."
Perhaps he did not expect the emperor to value his father so much, Mr. Ouyang's eyes lit up involuntarily.
He came here this time for Princess Mingyan, and now that he heard that His Majesty valued his father so much, he felt a little more confident in his heart.
"Everyone in the government and the public knows that the General Fuguo is His Majesty's right-hand man, but there is one thing that Mr. Ouyang should pay attention to." Ming Cang's words changed sharply, and his face became a little serious.
"I don't know what's going on? Please His Highness the Crown Prince please enlighten me." Mr. Ouyang tensed up.
Ming Cang's eyes sank, and then a few soft words fell into Mr. Ouyang's ears.
"What! It's nonsense! It's all slander!" Mr. Ouyang was shocked, and the loud noise attracted the attention of everyone around him.
These words were all blurted out, and when he realized it, Mr. Ouyang's face was already pale, and he half-bent and said softly: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, these things are all unfounded! If you dare to swear to heaven, I have half a false statement..."
"Oh, there's no need for Mr. Ouyang's poisonous oath." Ming Cang waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words, "Of course the prince doesn't trust you, so he will let you know in private, otherwise, wouldn't it have spread to the public a long time ago?" It's in my father's ears."
"Yes, yes, yes." Mr. Ouyang was a little terrified, "I am confused. I just don't know who...has such a misunderstanding about my Ouyang family?"
"Master Ouyang, what do you think?" Ming Cang smiled meaningfully.
"It's Cheng—" Mr. Ouyang reacted abruptly.
"Hush!" The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and Mr. Ouyang quickly silenced his voice.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your suggestion."
"You're welcome, maybe we will be a family in the future." Ming Cang said with a smile.
The tense muscles on Mr. Ouyang's face loosened.
The two stood together for a long time, and they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation, and Ming Cang's words both in and out meant to remind him to help, which undoubtedly flattered Mr. Ouyang.
However, what the prince said before is really important, Mr. Ouyang's thoughts are no longer here.
"His Royal Highness, I'm a little tired. I would like to ask Rong Chen to step down first. In another day, I will bow down to the Prince's Mansion and thank you for your kindness."
"Your body is important. Since you are unwell, Mr. Ouyang should go back home to rest earlier." Ming Cang naturally has no reason not to let him go.
With the permission, Mr. Ouyang left the palace without further delay.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really powerful. Just a few words have deepened the conflict between the prime minister and the general." The personal attendant said softly, "With Mr. Ouyang fanning the flames, Your Highness will have no worries."
"Heh." Ming Cang turned around and said nothing, the intention of his move was far more profound than what the attendant said.
Win over Mr. Ouyang, provoke the fragile alliance, lead two tigers to fight each other, and observe the attitude of the emperor.
I have to say that Cang may be born to be an emperor, and he seems to be born with the ability to check and balance power and guess people's hearts.
Otherwise, as the eldest son without the support of his mother's family, let alone a chance to climb to the position of prince, he might not even be able to survive.
"But Your Royal Highness, are you really planning to betroth Princess Mingyan to Mr. Ouyang?" the personal attendant asked cautiously.
"Are you joking with this prince?" The phoenix eyes swept across sharply, and the brows frowned slightly.
"It's a small nonsense." Unexpectedly, Ming Cang's mind would change so quickly, and the attendants were trembling with fear.
Obviously just now he heard the prince say that he and Mr. Ouyang belong to the same family.
"Heh, Mingyan is not the only princess in Tianyin." Ming Cang said expressionlessly as if he had read through the attendant's mind.
Ming Yan is a special existence, for the balance of power, Ming Cang will not agree, and Emperor Tianyin will not agree either.
Besides, Ming Cang would not even consider the qualifications of the Ouyang family boy.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise. If you take one step and watch ten steps, you are so stupid."
Ming Cang was noncommittal about the servant's flattering words, or he was always full of confidence in his decision.
This is not arrogance, but a pride that has been successfully established time and time again.
So far, he has never missed a step.
Except for the divorce with Shao Fu.
Until now, Ming Cang still can't figure out how the young man named Shao Bai stood out silently.
It was simply a variable that popped up suddenly.
Snapped.
While thinking about it, Ming Cang suddenly froze, and saw a big hand resting on his shoulder.
"You—" The calmness on the man's face collapsed the moment he turned around.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Chu come back halfway?" Ming Cang stabilized his mind, looking at that exquisite but incomparably unbeatable face, "Do you still have something to do with the prince?"
"Drink." The man's tone was non-discussive, it sounded like he was giving an order.
"What?" Ming Cang let out a breath, "Chu Tianze, are you crazy?"
"Don't talk nonsense with me, sit down and drink." The pale red eyes looked down at him.
The two suddenly fell into a stalemate.
Ming Cang didn't show it on the face, but he kept cursing secretly in his heart, if he could make a list of people Ming Cang didn't want to associate with, then Chu Tianze would definitely be at the top.
He doesn't follow the rules, doesn't play cards according to common sense, and sometimes goes crazy like he is now.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, haven't you always disdained my prince to drink with me?" Ming Cang said in a good voice, thinking that he was retreating.
"I'll just treat you as my father's face." The man's tone was indifferent, and his arrogant temperament remained undiminished. "Don't give me shame."
"Chu Tianze, this prince treats each other with courtesy, just because he appreciates you, not to let you be so presumptuous." Ming Cang's face has lost half of his affinity. As the prince of a country, he has no reason to be rejected. Chu Tianze insulted him repeatedly.
You must know that Ming Cang was also the second in Tianjiao back then, and he even beat the opponent in the round ranking.
He had absolutely no reason to be timid.
"Do you want to do it? Okay! It just happened to tear down the whole hall." The corner of the man's mouth drew a bloodthirsty arc.
"you dare!"
"What's so scary about me, but do you dare?" Chu Tianze laughed sarcasticly, "I don't know if you can still sit securely as the crown prince if you fight in the hall."
"I'm afraid all your brothers are happy in their hearts."
"What on earth do you want to do?" Ming Cang couldn't see the man's purpose, he was afraid of being entangled by this mad dog, so he avoided it intentionally or unintentionally today.
The result was still inexplicably caught up.
"I said, sit down and drink."
Four eyes facing each other.
No way, Ming Cang compromised, he had far more scruples than Chu Tianze, and he didn't have the same ruthlessness as the other party.
This is an inevitable situation.
Sitting back to his seat and picking up the wine cup, Ming Cang was full of doubts at first, because the man was really drinking with him.
And the process of fighting wine was also rough and straightforward, the two faced each other in silence, you have a drink, I have a drink, and the drink is over.
But soon Ming Cang found that things were not that simple.
"It's gone, let's go again." Chu Tianze looked indifferent, and turned the empty jug over.
"It's almost there, we've already drank two full pots." Ming Cang's face was already flushed, his condition was not very good, to be honest, his stomach was churning and nauseated.
His alcohol capacity is actually not bad, but he can't stand the man's desperate drinking.
What's more, before Chu Tianze came, he had already entertained a lot.
"My prince really didn't expect Fellow Daoist Chu to be so addicted to alcohol. He has already drank a lot today. Why don't we go to the Prince's Mansion another day and we can drink again." Ming Cang couldn't bear it and said.
"Serve the wine." The pale red eyes stared at the hesitant attendant, "Two jugs."
"Friend Chu." Ming Cang wanted to say something more.
"Four jugs." Chu Tianze raised his chin, "If you delay any longer, your master will drink here all night."
The attendant was terrified, and when he saw that the man was about to speak again, he turned around and ran to find wine.
Boom!
Soon four jugs of wine were lined up in front of the two of them.
"Two jugs for one person." Chu Tianze quickly opened the wine jug.
The rich aroma of the wine wafted out, and the wine of the royal family would naturally not be a defective product.
However, at this moment, Ming Cang just vomited in his throat when he smelled the mellow smell.
"No, my prince can't drink anymore." It was half the altar again, Ming Cang felt extremely sad all over, he barely propped himself up with one hand on the table.
"Either hit or drink, choose carefully."
Chu Tianze didn't leave any way for the opponent to retreat.
"You lunatic." Ming Cang said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, there are only two pots left, Your Highness, don't fall short." Chu Tianze was not angry at all, he knew that Ming Cang was in great pain now.
People from the royal family like them are very hypocritical, and they won't jump and curse until they can't bear it.
That's enough.
"Don't drink?" Chu Tianze handed the jug to Ming Cang's eyes.
"Okay, Chu Tianze, the prince will remember to make this wine today." Ming Cang looked a little embarrassed, he reached out and snatched the wine jug in front of him.
The dinner that day did not settle down until Xushi. Everyone thought it was the prince who was in high spirits because of the princess's birthday. No one thought of the chaos in the prince's mansion in the second half of the night.
Ming Cang is in charge of the whole dinner party.
"His Royal Highness." An attendant quietly came to Ming Cang's side and bent down to transmit the sound.
"How is it?" Ming Cang pursed his thin lips slightly, hooking the wine cup in front of him with his fingertips, still maintaining the royal smile on his face.
