Chapter 25
"Can you drink?" Pei Shang looked at Cheng Xiuyuan.
Cheng Xiuyuan shook his hand apologetically: "Thank you Marshal Pei, I don't drink."
Pei Shang took the red wine glass from the waiter and handed it to Mo Yunxuan: "Your Highness must drink it."
"This wine smells good, is it from your collection?" Mo Yunxuan took a sip, "The taste is not bad."
"Compared to His Highness's collection, it must be far behind." Pei Shang said with a smile.
Cheng Xiuyuan stood quietly at the side. He looked at Pei Shang in front of him. Pei Shang, who had taken off his military uniform, was less aggressive, and his whole person looked gentler. With a righteous face, he was very handsome.
"Marshal Pei has a lot of people coming to this banquet!" Mo Yunxuan glanced at the venue while drinking, with a teasing tone.
Pei Shang said: "This small banquet of mine can only invite nobles from this city. I remember the last time His Highness held a reception in the palace garden, but even foreign envoys were invited."
In fact, Pei Shang didn't like this kind of banquet, everyone seemed to be wearing a mask, there was no sincerity, only interests.But in its place, sometimes such a banquet is necessary.
"Thinking about it now, it seems that I haven't held a reception for a long time. It seems that this matter should be put on the agenda to see if there will be some precious and special wines." Mo Yunxuan looked at the red wine in the wine. The liquid revealed an aftertaste look in his eyes.
"I have a new bottle of wine here. The brewing method is different from the traditional one, and the color of the wine is slightly darker. I will give it to His Highness to try."
"Really? Then respect is worse than obedience."
The wine glasses of the two people collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Cheng Xiuyuan thought that the two of them would talk with guns and sticks like in the Lost Path Forest, but he didn't expect that the two of them just chatted casually, which surprised him a little.
Some people around saw that Mo Yunxuan and Pei Shang were "talking happily", so they withdrew their inquiring gazes.
"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, Your Highness."
A familiar voice came from behind.
Ji Houchen walked in front of Mo Yunxuan with a smile.
Ji Houchen, who is a wealthy party, was naturally invited to Pei Shang's dinner party.
"Yeah! I was also a little surprised. I thought Young Master Ji would be busy with business and wouldn't come." Mo Yunxuan raised the wine glass in his hand to Ji Houchen, and there was no joy in his words.
"Your Highness is so cold!" Ji Houchen was handsome and cunning in a gray dress.
Mo Yunxuan took a glass of wine from the waiter and handed it to Ji Houchen: "Ji Shao's business is getting bigger and bigger now, there is a chance to develop together!"
"Your Highness, you are joking. No matter how capable I am, I am only a businessman. I am not as honorable as you. How can you, a prince, need to cooperate with me?" Ji Houchen's smile remained unchanged. He also knew that the other party was joking with him, but in his heart He also doesn't want to do business with Mo Yunxuan at all. A shrewd person who stays by his side at all times is just living next to a tiger!
Mo Yunxuan showed a disappointed expression: "Are you rejecting me?"
Cheng Xiuyuan who was on the side only thought that this guy in his family was really an acting school, and that such a cunning person like Ji Houchen met Mo Yunxuan, and he could be regarded as meeting his nemesis.
"Look at your Highness, you really know how to joke. You have a lot of time to do, do you have time to do other things?" Ji Houchen touched Mo Yunxuan's wine glass with his glass.
At this time, lights were lit on the venue, like a sky full of stars.
Cheng Xiuyuan was attracted by the night view of the venue. It turned out that this place is so beautiful at night.
"Your Highness, your little housekeeper is stunned." Ji Houchen looked at Cheng Xiuyuan, "Is this your first time to come to this kind of occasion?"
Overtly and secretly full of irony.
Mo Yunxuan on the side frowned slightly.
Cheng Xiuyuan smiled slightly, and replied: "Ji Shaocai is really joking, what is your highness's identity, I don't know how many banquets like this have been held, and as your highness's housekeeper, I have naturally gained a lot of glory. It's just that tonight I really feel that Marshal Pei's venue layout and decoration are really good, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances."
Cheng Xiuyuan spoke politely, without any disrespect, but refuted Ji Houchen just right.
But Ji Houchen followed his words and asked: "Then, do you think the banquet hosted by His Highness is better? Or the banquet hosted by Marshal Pei?"
This cunning Ji Houchen threw another blockbuster at Cheng Xiuyuan. These two people can't say who is better, they always want to offend one, and they can't say that they are equally good. It seems that neither of them is offended. , in fact, the most annoying answer is this.
But Cheng Xiuyuan just chuckled: "Why did Young Master Ji ask me this question? I must have attended the banquets held by His Royal Highness and Marshal Pei. Only as a guest of the banquet can you have a deeper understanding. I would like to ask you , which one do you think is doing better?"
In the end, Cheng Xiuyuan successfully bounced the bomb back to Ji Houchen.
"Young Master Ji, tell me." Mo Yunxuan looked at Ji Houchen with a sneer.
Pei Shang on the side didn't say much, he wanted to see how Ji Houchen would end up.
But how could Ji Houchen, who has been in the shopping mall for many years, be troubled by such a small matter, he just shook the goblet and said with a smile: "I think my own banquet is the best."
Saying this sentence, although proud, did resolve this embarrassing problem. When a discerning person heard it, he knew that he was just talking casually, and there was no need to take it seriously.
Cheng Xiuyuan had to admire Ji Houchen's wit.
That's the end of this question.
"The banquet has been held for so long, won't you come on stage and say something?" Ji Houchen winked at Pei Shang.
Pei Shang shook his head: "Forget it, I have always disliked talking nonsense in public, and I have already chosen someone to speak instead of me."
"Marshal Pei is so free and easy!" Ji Houchen said with a smile, "Every time I give a speech! The people below are all expressionless, and they applaud vigorously when they finish speaking. Well said."
Cheng Xiuyuan understood Ji Houchen's implication, and it seems that he also understands the hypocrisy of people, but it's a pity that he himself is also a hypocrite.
"The most suitable place for Marshal Pei to give a speech is the army, right?" Mo Yunxuan teased.
"Your Highness seems to know me very well!"
"Just a little." Mo Yunxuan ignored Pei Shang's eyes and took a sip of red wine.
After saying a few words casually, Ji Houchen excused others to leave, and Pei Shang also left to receive others because he was the host.
"Go and sit over there." Mo Yunxuan walked towards a rest area in the venue.
This rest area is European-style, with colorful night lights on the head, and various wines and fruits on the table.
Mo Yunxuan sat there with a domineering aura, even in the inconspicuous rest area, he was still so eye-catching.
Cheng Xiuyuan stood obediently behind Mo Yunxuan, watching a woman with a slender waist and a big chest come towards him.
"Your Highness, long time no see!" The woman blew a kiss to Mo Yunxuan before she got close.
It was another woman prostrating under Mo Yunxuan's pomegranate skirt, Cheng Xiuyuan sighed in his heart.
The woman had a carefree personality, and sat across from Mo Yunxuan without waiting for him to speak.
"Miss Yan, you are still so beautiful and generous!" Mo Yunxuan leaned on the back of the chair, arms crossed, full of charm.
"Isn't Your Highness still as romantic as ever?" Miss Yan's slender fingers were placed on the collarbone, full of temptation.
Mo Yunxuan raised his eyebrows: "Did you bring a male companion with you this time?"
A trace of shyness flashed across Miss Yan's beautiful face: "I did, but it's just a friend. I came here right now to ask you to borrow someone."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at Cheng Xiuyuan.
Cheng Xiuyuan didn't notice, but Mo Yunxuan instantly understood.
"Yes, as long as Miss Yan is happy."
The smile on the woman's face deepened: "Then I will borrow the person!"
Mo Yunxuan made a gesture of letting go.
Miss Yan got up and walked in front of Cheng Xiuyuan, with a smile on her face: "Come and have a drink with me at the banquet!"
In fact, from the first moment she saw Cheng Xiuyuan, she had an indescribable affection for him.
Suddenly being invited by a woman, Cheng Xiuyuan, who had always been indifferent, also showed panic. He always thought that this woman came here to admire Mo Yunxuan, but it turned out that she fell in love with him!
Cheng Xiuyuan shook his hand in embarrassment: "Thank you for your appreciation, miss, I, I don't drink..." He turned his head to look at Mo Yunxuan, afraid that Mo Yunxuan would be angry because of this, and hoped that he could help him, but he only saw the latter He looked at them like he was watching a show.
"It's just a glass of wine. You're a big man and you're afraid that I'll eat you up?" Miss Yan smiled while covering her mouth.
Cheng Xiuyuan Khan was about to come out: "But, I'm not very good at drinking."
Mo Yunxuan didn't expect Cheng Xiuyuan to react like this when facing a woman, so he couldn't help but find it funny and interesting.
"Sorry, I still have to serve His Highness." Cheng Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile wryly when faced with various invitations from women.
Mo Yunxuan looked like he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement: "Since Miss Yan invites you so affectionately, you can go!"
The woman smiled: "Look, your master has agreed, and there can be no more reason."
Cheng Xiuyuan looked at Mo Yunxuan with a sad look, and finally left with Miss Yan.
At the banquet, Cheng Xiuyuan was a bit restrained, but elegant and polite. Miss Yan even joked with him from time to time, feeling that she had a good vision.
Half an hour later, Cheng Xiuyuan and Miss Yan came back.
"Your person, I sent it back intact." Miss Yan laughed, "You are really a good housekeeper. If you don't want to use him someday, remember to tell me to come to my house as a housekeeper."
Cheng Xiuyuan frowned helplessly.
Mo Yunxuan tilted his head, and there was a trace of arrogance in his nobility: "When you come to your house, you don't have to be just a housekeeper."
Cheng Xiuyuan's expression on the side was as usual, but he was already secretly crying in his heart.
