Stunning beauty

Chapter 1750 3 glasses of wine

The night wind blows.

On the Xiangshui River, vocal music reverberates, and laughter is endless.

The royal family hosted a banquet, the princes and dukes came together, and Princess Xizi, the former number one beauty, made the scene quite lively.

If it weren't for the unsightly son of the Li family.

Merchants were appointed as marquises, hereditary and no succession, which made all the princes feel like a thorn in their throats. Now, Princess Xizi treats them differently, which makes everyone even more angry.

The current situation is undoubtedly the result that the royal family most wants to see.

The Li family became an imperial merchant and was promoted to a nobleman of a great merchant. If they were not restricted, they would be further out of control. Therefore, it was not surprising that the royal family made such a move.

However, Li Ziye, who was at the helm of the Li family, didn't seem to care about it.

In the world, variables are the eternal constant. Even Mobei Babu, which is now fighting to the death with the big merchants, had a honeymoon period of friendship and cooperation.

Similarly, the biggest reason why the princes of the Manchu Dynasty rejected the Li family so much was that they were worried that the promotion of the Li family would violate their interests.

When the total resources are constant, any new entrant will become a spoiler for dividing up the benefits.

Li Ziye, who has the memory of two lives, understands this truth better than anyone else.

Fairness is not obtained by seeking, but by using strength.

The rejection of the princes is not worth mentioning to the Li family.

When you are strong enough, control enough resources, and are as strong as the royal family, you must make concessions, let alone the princes in the court.

"My lord, I still want to respect you for the third cup of wine, and my lord can't refuse."

During the banquet, after discussing Yu Qingxuan's entry into the palace to teach piano music, Mu Xizi insisted on taking the third glass of wine, and said seriously.

"Respect, it is better to obey."

Li Ziye looked at the persistent woman in front of him, although he wished to give her a shoe sole on her beautiful old face, he still raised his glass in response, and then, covering his face with his sleeves, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Mu Xizi saw the son of the Li family drinking the third glass of wine in front of him, smiled slightly, and drank the wine in the glass as well.

"Cough, cough, cough."

With the drink in his belly, Mu Xizi covered his mouth and coughed softly, a sick flush appeared on his beautiful face.

"His Royal Highness is too strong to drink, so don't drink any more."

Li Ziye put down the wine glass in his hand and reminded with a concerned face.

Old woman, why don't you drink to death!

For the eldest princess in front of him, Li Ziye didn't like it from the first sight, the reason is very simple, like repelling each other.

Different from Tantai Jingyue's sharp and undisguised intelligence, the eldest princess's scheming is more hidden under her delicate face, hiding a knife in her smile, which is unpleasant.

"Thank you, son, for your concern."

Mu Xizi replied softly, got up and prepared to go back to his seat.

"His Royal Highness, Rong Rong respects you."

At this moment, under the surprised eyes of everyone, Wan Rongrong stood up beside Princess Guanshan, and said in a respectful tone.

On the side, Princess Guan Shan was slightly taken aback when she saw this, she did not expect her daughter to toast the eldest princess suddenly.

Behind, Li Ziye was also stunned when he saw the action of the little princess. After a while, he seemed to understand something and laughed dumbfounded.

This little girl actually has such a narrow-minded side.

With everyone's attention, Wan Rongrong stood there gracefully, toasting to each other, and there was no room for rejection.

Although the status of the eldest princess is definitely higher than that of a princess, even the eldest princess cannot refuse the toast from King Wu's daughter.

Great merchants established their country by force, and the status of King Wu undoubtedly surpassed all princes.

Therefore, when Mu Xizi saw the little princess standing up to toast, even though he felt a little unwell, he didn't dare to refuse, raised his glass in response, and said softly, "Young princess is polite."

The two women, who were almost a generation apart in age, looked at each other, and immediately drank the wine in their glasses.

"His Royal Highness, Rong Rong toasts you again!"

After one drink, Wan Rongrong still refused to give up and raised a second glass of wine.

Around the banquet, everyone was in an uproar, but they didn't understand what the little princess of Guanshan Wang's family meant.

Only Princess Guanshan seemed to have guessed something, and immediately gave her daughter a wink, signaling not to go too far.

Wan Rongrong pretended not to see it, raised the wine glass in his hand, and continued to toast to the eldest princess.

Seeing this situation, Mu Xizi had no choice but to drink another cup.

Then, Wan Rongrong will toast the third glass of wine.

The surrounding princes were shocked when they saw the actions of the little princess.

Again?

"Okay little princess."

At this moment, Li Ziye spoke, and said in a gentle voice, "I can keep this eldest princess, but if you drink her to death, I won't have anything to play with."

Wan Rongrong heard the sound transmission in his ear, paused his pouring hand, then nodded slightly, and sat back in his seat.

When Mu Xizi saw the little princess sitting down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, she never expected that the young princess of Guanshan Wang's family would stand up for the Li family's son in person.

During the banquet, Li Ziye smiled, a little surprised and a little helpless at the actions of the little princess.

Fortunately, this girl listened to advice.

One cup, nothing, two cups, it's justified.

However, after toasting the third glass of wine, everyone can see what the little princess really meant.

this is not good.

There is no need to involve the little princess in the battle between the Li family and the royal family.

On the main seat, Empress Changsun watched what happened between the seats, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

The little princess of Guanshan Wang's family is really sincere to Li Jiaoxi.

To be honest, as long as Li Jiaoxi nods, no one can stop the marriage between the Li family and the Guanshan Palace.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun subconsciously looked at her daughter at the side, and then looked away after a while.

At the same time, outside the flower boat, under the surface of the water that no one noticed, black shadows sneaked in from all directions, getting closer and closer to the flower boat.

On the flower boat, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army who were in charge of guarding were affected by the darkness and the interference of the river water. For a while, they did not notice that there were masters approaching under the Xiangshui River.

"Commander."

At the bow of the boat, a soldier of the Forbidden Army looked at the bustling scenes on both sides of the Xiangshui River, and asked worriedly, "There are so many people on the shore, if an assassin sneaks in, it will be difficult for us to find out? Why don't we send people to evacuate the people on the shore?"

"No."

Changsun Fengyu looked at the people celebrating the festival on the shore, shook his head solemnly, and replied, "Dismissing the people for no reason will cause panic among the people. There are too many people on the shore, and it is easy to trample and fall into the water. It's dangerous."

Before the words of the two of them fell, suddenly, a panicked voice sounded from the river bank, resounding through the night sky.

"Killed, killed!"

The sudden scream, without any warning, made the lively riverbank suddenly panic.

Then, the people on the shore began to frantically crowd around, wanting to leave as soon as possible. The next moment, one after another panicked cries sounded, and one after another fell into the water, being squeezed down abruptly.

"Commander, what should we do?"

On the boat, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army saw this scene and asked anxiously.

"Rescue!"

The eldest grandson Fengyu ordered without any hesitation.
