Chapter 36 The Shura Field of Two Men
Si Ning is not a good drinker. He suffers from heart disease and the doctor does not allow him to drink.
Jiang Jinshuang sighed, stood up from her seat, and walked out of the screen: "I'll go take a look."
"Okay, Your Highness! Your Excellency is over there."
Qian Yao happily pointed to the guest seats high up, and Jiang Jinshuang saw a group of officials and ministers gathered around a seat, which was filled with water.
Jiang Jinshuang shook her head helplessly and stepped forward.
Si Ning was surrounded by a group of people. With warm and flattering smiles on their faces, everyone toasted to Si Ning.
"Mr. Si Ning comes to Beijing this time, are you planning to stay longer?"
"I will hold a banquet at my residence in a while, and I would like to invite Mr. Si Ning to come."
"Mr. Si Ning, I have met your grandma a few times, and you and your grandma are both really extraordinary!"
"..."
Jiang Jinshuang couldn't squeeze in.
She smiled slightly, coughed slightly and said loudly: "Mr. Si Ning, why don't you give me a toast?"
Jiang Jinshuang's voice pushed aside the crowd. After hearing this, the officials and ministers gave way one after another and looked at her following the sound.
Jiang Jinshuang wore a long aqua dress today. The gauze belt was lightly tied and fluttered in the wind, making her waist full.
She raised her chin slightly and looked at Mr. Si Ning in her seat.
Si Ning was dressed in white clothes and sitting there with a picturesque face.
There is innate nobility and respect between his brows, and even a slight smile can make people hold their breath.
The tear mole in the corner of his eye is very attractive, and the end of his eye has become a bit drunk.
"Your Highness."
He slightly curved his lips and spoke softly, losing his indifference to others.
When the ministers saw Jiang Jinshuang, they all looked at each other, bowed to her, and then left with excuses.
Now that His Majesty's attitude toward Princess Zhaoming is unclear, it would be better for them not to get into trouble.
As soon as the group of people left, Jiang Jinshuang sighed and sat unceremoniously on the half seat given by Si Ning.
Si Ning smiled: "Did Qian Yao ask His Highness to come here?"
Jiang Jinshuang rolled her eyes at him, took the wine glass from his hand, poured the wine inside, and replaced it with tea for him.
"Are you stupid? If someone toasts you, why don't you secretly change it to tea?"
Si Ning smiled: "Your Highness, tea and wine are not the same color."
Jiang Jinshuang didn't care: "Even if they really find out that you drank tea, who would dare to say anything about you?"
Si Ning smiled slightly: "Well, Your Highness is still smart."
Jiang Jinshuang didn't think she was smart, she thought Si Ning was too stupid.
He had just been given a few glasses of wine, and although he was still conscious, Si Ning's head felt a little groggy.
He held his head with one hand, and his long, water-like hair flowed down between his fingers and onto the table.
Si Ning held his head and looked at Jiang Jinshuang beside him, his eyes swaying.
"Your Highness, does he know who the guest next to you is?"
Jiang Jinshuang replied nonchalantly: "I just saw Pei Du leaving the table."
Si Ning raised the corners of his lips: "Well, Mr. Chief Assistant looks a little unhappy."
Jiang Jinshuang didn't take it seriously: "He has been unhappy a lot."
The handsome man in front of him blinked innocently: "I just had a few chats with Mr. Chief Assistant. I probably said something wrong and made him unhappy."
Jiang Jinshuang was changing wine for Si Ning. He poured all the best wine in the wine pot into the porcelain bowl on the side, picked up the tea on the side, opened the lid of the pot and poured it into it.
Hearing what Si Ning said, she stopped what she was doing, stared at Si Ning with wide eyes, and looked at him in shock: "You mean, you just defeated Pei Du?"
Si Ning was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "You can also say that your Highness is distressed?"
Jiang Jinshuang looked at Si Ning seriously and patted his shoulder solemnly: "Si Ning, you are so awesome."
"Huh?" Si Ning's tone sounded pleasant.
Jiang Jinshuang smiled: "Among the entire Wanjin, you are the second one who can defeat Pei Du in terms of words."
As she said that, she pointed at herself and raised her eyebrows slightly: "I am the first."
Si Ning's pupils opened slightly, and he lowered his eyes and smiled.
"I thought..."
"Why?"
Si Ning shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, His Highness is very powerful."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Looking past Jiang Jinshuang, he saw someone walking towards this side not far away.
The smile on Si Ning's lips paused. Suddenly, he covered his chest, frowned, and his face became a little pale.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly held Si Ning's arm and said in a deep voice: "Has it happened again? Do you want to take two more pills?"
Si Ning raised his eyes calmly, looking from Jiang Jinshuang's shoulder to him behind him.
He smiled at Jiang Jinshuang and shook his head, looking a little weak: "It's okay, Your Highness, maybe you drank too much just now, but you are feeling better now."
Jiang Jinshuang was still worried: "If someone proposes a toast later, I will drink it for you."
When Si Ning heard this, his smile deepened, and his tone was a bit indulgent and helpless: "Your Highness, this is the men's seat."
"What's wrong with the men's seat? It's not like I didn't—"
"Sir, you are back."
Before Jiang Jinshuang could finish speaking, Si Ning in front of him changed his expression and nodded slightly towards the man behind Jiang Jinshuang.
The voice was a bit sudden, Jiang Jinshuang shrank her neck and reacted belatedly.
She turned around slowly and saw Pei Du nodding towards Si Ning with an indifferent expression at some point, and then sat back down in his seat in an upright and distant manner.
Jiang Jinshuang occupied half of Si Ning's seats. At this time, she and Si Ning shared a table, and beside them was the handsome and handsome Master Pei.
A little uncomfortable.
It's not because of Pei Du, but because of the strange looks from time to time from the surrounding ministers and officials.
At this time, she looked like a vicious princess who loved the new and disliked the old, abandoning her husband and son. On her left was the old person she had "abandoned" three years ago, and on her right was her "new love."
Jiang Jinshuang lowered his head slightly and coughed lightly.
Si Ning seemed not to notice those glances, as usual: "What did His Highness just want to say? Have you ever been to the men's table at previous banquets?"
The low stool used for today's palace banquet was not very long, so Si Ning made room for Jiang Jinshuang. In order to make it easier for the two of them to sit down, the two of them were a little close to each other.
Si Ning put one hand behind the girl, supporting her waist, as if to prevent her from falling.
Jiang Jinshuang didn't notice this. When she heard Si Ning's question, she glanced at Pei Du calmly.
At this time, the man was sitting on his seat, taking a sip of tea, sitting upright, looking forward, unable to find anything wrong.
——She couldn't tell Si Ning in front of Pei Du that she used to sneak to the men's table where Pei Du was, just to stay with him, right?
So embarrassing.
With a slight cough, Jiang Jinshuang changed the subject: "You are not allowed to drink anymore. I asked Qian Yao to keep an eye on you. If you drink one more drop, you will not go back to the house tonight."
