Yu Xiaoyun couldn't help but curse angrily:
"You brat, you really have no sincerity. You're only bringing out the fine wine now."
"That's right. As the saying goes, 'You won't let go of the hawk until you see the rabbit.' Don't you even get it?" Long Chen said irritably.
"Bad guy, do you think I'm a rabbit?" Yu Qingxuan's pretty face flushed red, and she couldn't help but glare at Long Chen.
"Ahem, ahem, slip of the tongue. Well, I mean, if I had brought it out earlier, it would have seemed like a temptation and bribery to His Majesty.
I think that's a desecration of you, Qingxuan. I want to win His Majesty over with sincerity, then bring out the fine wine to celebrate. Taking it first and taking it later are two completely different things. Long Chen hurriedly explained.
"At least you know how to talk." Yu Qingxuan changed her smile to a hint of annoyance.
"Hmph, what if you can't beat him?" Yu Xiaoyun said.
"If you can't beat me, I'll lie; if I can't get you, I'll steal; if I can't steal, I'll rob you. Anyway, Qingxuan is definitely mine." Long Chen acted like a pig unafraid of boiling water, making Jiang Huixin and Xu Lanxin laugh.
"To say such shameless things so naturally—among all the people I know, no one is thick-skinned than you." Yu Xiaoyun said irritably.
"Thank you for Your Majesty's praise. Many people say that I can actually rely on my looks, but I just like to make a living off shamelessness. So what?" If you're not convinced, come and bite me! Long
Chen looked as if he was furious, as if he could be infuriating. That look was as infuriating as could be.
"You ..."
"Don't get mad, it's just a joke. Come on, let's ... No, no, no, it's just the two of us having a drink. Seeing Yu Xiaoyun's face darken, Long Chen hurriedly opened a jar of wine and poured him some wine.
The moment Long Chen opened the wine seal, everyone present cried out in surprise. As soon as the seal was opened, the aroma of the wine instantly filled the air.
Smelling the aroma of wine, the powerful warriors present felt their blood and qi surge, the power of flames surging within them, as if about to erupt.
"Damn, could this be ...?" Yu Xiaoyun had been furious, but when he saw the fine wine, he was startled.
"Of course, if it weren't for the top-grade Bloodfire Sorghum Liquor, how could I possibly bring it out for my father-in-law?" Seeing Yu Xiaoyun's surprised expression, Long Chen felt secretly pleased and said proudly.
Long Chen knew that Yu Xiaoyun's favorite drink was Bloodfire Sorghum Wine, but the best he had ever tasted was only three grades, which he had already regarded as a divine brew.
And this Bloodfire Sorghum Wine was ninth-grade and was personally brewed by a super expert from the Wine God Palace. Yu Xiaoyun never dared to imagine in his life that he could taste such fine wine.
The fine wine is as thick as honey, amber in color, with powerful flames swirling within, like flowing lava, radiating dazzling divine brilliance that intoxicates people, as if just looking at it can make one fall into a daze.
"Whew."
At this moment, Yu Xiaoyun didn't even care to look at Long Chen's smug face. He downed a bowl of wine in one gulp, instantly feeling as if scorching lava had flowed into his throat. Once it entered his stomach, it was like a volcanic eruption, waves of heat surging through his limbs and bones, eventually converging like a wave of backlash, rushing straight to the top of his head.
After drinking a bowl of wine, Yu Xiaoyun actually felt dizzy, as if he was being sent to the clouds, and at the same time, he felt as if his bottleneck had suddenly loosened considerably.
"Good wine!"
Yu Xiaoyun exclaimed excitedly. He had never drunk such a domineering and intense drink before; the exhilarating feeling was beyond words.
"Since it's good wine, drink more." Long Chen smiled and said as he spoke, pouring Yu Xiaoyun another bowl.
"Come on, you drink too!"
After finishing a bowl of wine, Yu Xiaoyun seemed to feel much closer to Long Chen and let him pour himself as well.
"I... Forget it, my injury hasn't healed yet... Long Chen hurriedly said. He had drunk this wine once, and drinking it was deadly; he definitely didn't want to drink it.
That time, Long Chen drank seventh-grade blood-fire sorghum wine, and was knocked out in one gulp. This was top-notch—after just one bowl, he'd probably be knocked out. Yu Xiaoyun would definitely laugh at him then.
"Nonsense, you're afraid I'll knock you down, right? How could someone without courage be worthy of marrying my daughter? Yu Xiaoyun said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, Long Chen is indeed injured. You know that well..." Jiang Huixin advised.
"Huixin, don't speak up for him. This kid is really sly. This wine is very good for healing. If he doesn't drink it, he's clearly afraid." Yu Xiaoyun said.
Being seen through, Long Chen immediately felt a bit annoyed. He realized that before leaving, this father-in-law wanted to give him a hard time.
"In that case, I'll have a good drink with you, father-in-law today."
Long Chen was ready to go all out. At worst, he could get drunk and be carried away. After all, Xia Chen and Guo Ran were there, so there was nothing to fear.
"!"
Long Chen also steeled himself, downing three bowls with Yu Xiaoyun. After three bowls of wine, both of their eyes turned blue, and even their breathing was fiery. Jiang Huixin and the others were both surprised and amused.
They only dared to drink blood-fired sorghum wine in small sips. The strength was terrifying, and even so, after a few sips, they felt a bit dizzy.
After three bowls of wine, Yu Xiaoyun's tongue was so big that he patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said, "At first, I thought you were quite annoying, but after spending time together, I found you were even more annoying." Long
Chen wasn't much better off. His alcohol was rising in waves and he couldn't hold it in at all. He glanced sideways at Yu Xiaoyun and said,
"Two-way friends, the first time I see you, at first glance, you don't look great, but if you look closely, you're not as good as at first sight."
The two of them mocked each other, making everyone both amused and speechless, but no one said anything—even the ancestor turned a blind eye to these matters.
Yu Qingxuan was already carrying a jar of blood-fire sorghum wine and went to pour wine for the elders. However, the wine was so precious and strong that everyone only tasted it, afraid of getting drunk.
Meanwhile, Long Chen and Yu Xiaoyun finished three bowls in a row. After finishing these three bowls, both of them blushed and their necks bulged, and their speech became slurred.
Yu Xiaoyun patted Long Chen firmly on the shoulder, sincerely saying, "Brother, from now on, Qingxuan... I'm counting on you... "
Don't worry, big brother. My feelings for Qingxuan are as clear as the sun and moon." Long Chen raised his hand and swore solemnly.
"Alright, hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. Come on, let's have another ... together."
"You two, stop drinking, we're all going to mess up the generations."
Seeing that both of them were drunk and dazed, Jiang Huixin hurriedly snatched their wine bowls, but who knew what kind of ridicule might arise if they kept drinking.
Having his wine bowl taken away, Yu Xiaoyun slapped Long Chen the shoulder and said, "I hate you, not because of you, but at everyone who wants to take Qingxuan away from me."
Qingxuan ... She was a good child, well-behaved and sensible... But you should know... The more well-behaved and sensible a child is, the less loved one is.
When I wanted to make it up to her, I never got the chance... I'm not a qualified father... You little rascal, you must treat her well... "
this point, Yu Xiaoyun's voice choked up. Maybe he was drunk, but he finally spoke the words he had been buried inside.
"Father..."
Yu Qingxuan's eyes instantly turned red after hearing Yu Xiaoyun's words.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaoyun slumped to the side, unable to withstand the alcohol any longer, and passed out drunk. Jiang Huixin hurriedly supported him and ordered his men to help him rest in the palace.
Jiang Huixin looked at Yu Qingxuan, then at all the princes and princesses, saying, "Actually, His Majesty's love for you is the same."
However, the father-son, ruler-subject relationship prevents you from enjoying family affection like ordinary people.
As parents, we actually suffer too. We see everything about you, but the heavy responsibilities on our shoulders don't allow us to enjoy certain things. At
this point, Jiang Huixin choked up. Even emperors and empresses have many feelings of helplessness.
"His Majesty does not wish for Qingxuan to marry far away, but he hopes she can be happy. Since His Majesty is not here, I will hold Qingxuan's wedding today!" Jiang Huixin looked at Yu Qingxuan and said.
"No, I don't want a wedding."
Yu Qingxuan suddenly spoke, and as soon as she spoke, everyone was stunned.
