Chapter 212 The Chief Auxiliary has drunk!

It is said that the new top scholar has declined many court officials who visited.

Most of the officials and ministers wanted to betroth their daughters to him.

He politely declined the opportunity to rise to the top.

During the scientific examination, the emperor praised the top scholar and had high hopes.

The civil and military officials in the court also knew this and wanted to win him over, but they had never had a chance.

Now that the top scholar is here to attend the birthday party of the old general of Qing, it is also a good opportunity to make friends.

The courtiers at the banquet were in groups of three or three, as if they wanted to surround the two on the banquet.

Jiang Jinshuang's gaze just stayed on Pei Du for a moment, and then landed in Lin Qingyan's crowd with interest.

——She really wants to see what this person looks like.

Jiang Biechen raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled: "A noble son has appeared in a poor family. Does Zhaoming like this?"

When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she turned to Jiang Biechen: "What does the emperor mean?"

"Shuang'er must have heard that his father has asked the Hanlin Academy to hand over the picture album, and he wants to choose a son-in-law for you."

After a pause, Jiang Biechen said meaningfully: "The emperor's brother read the album for Shuang'er, and there is this top scholar among them."

When Jiang Jinshuang heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Is that true?" Jiang Jinshuang licked the tip of her tongue and raised the corners of her lips. "Then Zhaoming was even more curious..."

Pei Du's seat.

The principle of never drinking at the banquet is known to the guests.

So it is called "toast", but in fact it is just the guests who drink it themselves. If you can talk to the Prime Minister during this period, it will be a great honor.

Pei Du sat upright in his seat with a wine glass on his hand.

The guests and courtiers around him were filled with smiles and toasted him.

"Sir, your remarks in the court yesterday were like a thunder, which made the officials enlightened!"

"This glass of wine toast to the Prime Minister!"

"I've done this glass of wine, so I'll do it as you please!"

"I have heard that the adults rushed to the border of Wanjin alone and led the black-armored cavalry to repel the Beihuai army. They are really young talents, both civil and military!"

"Yes, yes! Wan Jin has a great honor!"

“…”

He has heard many compliments.

Pei Du is not that cynical scholar. He has long been accustomed to these praises and flatteries in the officialdom and has been easily dealt with.

He never accepts toasts from these officials and court officials, and at most he just uses tea instead of wine and returns to the past.

But today, it's different.

It's not the same.

Pei Du's eyes passed through the smiling faces and the crowd and landed on Jiang Jinshuang's face.

Her eyes didn't fall on him.

The eyes were curious and joking, and there was a clear light.

——Pei Du is very familiar with that look.

Or, in the past, Jiang Jinshuang used that look to see him.

But now, the eyes of those eyes fell on another person.

This perception made Pei Du's throat tighten.

——This shouldn’t be the case.

"Sir, I wish you a happy career and a beautiful woman in my arms."

Another guest toasted the wine.

Pei Du closed his sight.

With his eyes slightly lowered, his eyes fell on the cup of wine at hand.

The wine was filled with wine glass, and the golden waves swayed, causing ripples.

Pei Du has a poor alcohol tolerance.

He knew he had a poor alcohol tolerance.

——She knows it too. Finally, he reached out, picked up the wine on the Eight Immortals table, and drank it all in one go.

The minister who had not had time to drink the glass of wine was stunned for a moment, widened his eyes, and almost fell to the ground!

Everyone looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes!

Silence for a moment.

Just when everyone thought someone was causing the Prime Minister to be upset, they waited for a long time, but they didn't see the Prime Minister losing their temper.

The brave courtier stepped forward a few steps, reached out with fear, and toasted another glass of wine: "Shou, Master, the official wishes for this glass of wine-"

Before the man could finish speaking.

Pei Du poured another glass of wine and drank it all in one go.

Everyone widened their eyes and reacted!

In an instant, as if they were rushing to the forefront, they all squeezed in front of Pei Du, rushing to toast the Prime Minister!

The movement here finally attracted Jiang Jinshuang's attention.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

Her eyes fell on everyone and she frowned slightly.

Why did Pei Du drink?

Well, it’s probably the birthday of General Qing today, and I’m in a good mood.

Jiang Jinshuang didn't think much about it, she withdrew her gaze, rolled her eyes a few times, but looked at Jiang Biechen.

"Brother, Zhaoming also wishes you a cup."

Jiang Biechen held the wine glass and smiled, "What are you doing for me?"

"Respect our brother-sister relationship for many years, and respect our elder brother for so many years of care for Zhaoming."

Jiang Jinshuang lied without blushing.

Jiang Biechen sneered, but he picked up the wine glass as if he was good and drank it all in one go.

Jiang Jinshuang also drank all the wine.

Pour another cup.

"This glass of wine, Zhaoming also wishes the emperor's brother to find his beloved as soon as possible and grow old together."

Jiang Biechen drank it all again.

After drinking three or five glasses of wine in succession, Jiang Biechen looked as usual and chuckled: "Shuang'er wouldn't think that these few glasses of wine can mess up my mind, right?"

Jiang Jinshuang also smiled and said, "Shuang'er has never thought about it this way. I grew up with the emperor's brother. Zhaoming still knew the emperor's alcohol tolerance."

Jiang Biechen narrowed his eyes: "Then what exactly do you want to do?"

"What the emperor said is that Zhaoming just thinks that you, my brother and sister have not reminisced about the past for a long time and have exchanged feelings. He then wants to have two more drinks with the emperor."

"Jiang Jinshuang, what's the relationship between you and me?"

In a word, the smile on the corner of Jiang Jinshuang's mouth faded a little.

Her eyebrows raised and her chin was slightly raised: "Brother, what did Uncle Wang of Changping tell you?"

Jiang Biechen raised his eyebrows to look at her.

After a long time, he chuckled and said in a cold tone: "I have said that I have never said it, what do you have to do with you?"

Jiang Jinshuang blinked: "Have you ever thought about what would he think if his father knew that Uncle Wang of Changping had talked to you in private?"

Jiang Biechen smiled and said, "Shuang'er, don't you think that your father would believe you with your one-sided words?"

"The emperor's brother has been immersed in the palace for many years and should be clearest that evidence is best forged."

When Jiang Biechen heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Jiang Jinshuang, do you dare to threaten the orphan?"

Jiang Jinshuang looked straight at Jiang Biechen: "I am not afraid of father, I am not afraid of threatening my brother, why don't you dare?"

...

Qingshan left the banquet in a daze and walked towards the backyard.

Last night, she couldn't sleep all night, thinking about the young man she met on Chang'an Street last night.

Early this morning, she sent the maids around her to find them.

It’s just that I don’t know my name or age, and I don’t even know whether I am a Beijinger, nor how to find it.

Most of the guests at the banquet were talking about some court affairs.

Qingshan didn't want to listen to this, so she simply left the seat and came out to breathe.

When he reached the side courtyard, Qingshan noticed that a man stood with his sword next to the rockery, as if he was waiting for someone.
