The useless princess is causing trouble again

The next morning, the weather was clear.

Situ Chong and Ke Yunqing explained the relevant matters of Nanjiang County and solemnly handed the governor's seal to Ke Yunqing. Ke Yunqing bid farewell to Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei at the governor's mansion, and the group took two carriages and rushed to the port from a remote section of the road.

Half an incense stick of time passed, and two carriages arrived at the dock one after another. Situ Chong and Shangguan Wei got off the carriages, and Nan Yanqing, Yan Yi and Yan Er followed behind them. Chi Mei Wangliang, Tao Zi and Ze Yi walked at the end. The general and Deputy General Yun stood on the steps of the dock waiting. There were two rows of soldiers standing on the steps on both sides, with serious expressions and standing guard with swords in their hands.

General Feng and Deputy General Yun bowed respectfully. General Feng came forward with a smile and said, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, Your Highness Prince Rong, Princess Sheng, everything is ready. In order to speed up the voyage, we can take an official ship. I will just wait for Your Highness Prince Sheng's orders." He stretched out his right hand and made a gesture for invitation to get on board.

"Well, General Feng, there is no need to be so polite. I am not very familiar with ships, so everything on the ship will be handed over to General Feng for command. It will take five days to reach the next port, so we should hurry rather than late."

"Yes, I obey your command and will set off immediately."

"OK."

Situ Chong held Shangguan Wei's right hand, and the two walked onto the ship side by side. When they reached the deck at the bow, Shangguan Wei's gaze inadvertently swept towards Lieutenant General Yun. Their eyes collided in the air, and Lieutenant General Yun turned his head to look at the river.

He pursed his lips and pulled Situ Chong towards the middle cabin. Recalling what Deputy General Yun had just said, he had a bold guess in his mind.

Everything was ready. The sails slowly turned the steering wheel, and dozens of boatmen rowed the oars. Under the command of General Feng, the official ship moved forward quickly.

For two consecutive days, the river was calm and the official ship continued to sail smoothly.

At noon on the third day, General Feng hosted a banquet in the hall, under the pretext of replenishing nutrition. Vice General Yun sent someone to invite Situ Chong, Shangguan Wei, and Nan Yanqing. General Feng took the initiative to warmly invite them to take a seat, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, Your Highness Prince Rong invites you. We have been bored on the ship for two days, so I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes. Please enjoy them."

"General Feng is very thoughtful. I have been hungry for two days and I feel sick just by looking at the green vegetables and porridge."

Shangguan Wei looked at the table full of delicious food, her mouth watering with greed, and she sat down on the left seat without caring about her image. Situ Chong followed and sat down, without saying a polite word to General Feng, and considerately helped Shangguan Wei pick up the food.

"Husband, pick up the chicken leg."

"This, that, and the first few things."

"Okay, Madam, eat slowly. I won't snatch it away from you."

Nan Yanqing sat on the right and joked, "Princess Sheng eats very happily. It seems she has been hungry for a long time." He turned his head to look at General Feng who was sitting there, and said with a smile, "I have not eaten much for two days. I am very happy about the feast prepared by General Feng today. I would like to express my sincere gratitude." He bowed slightly to General Feng and clasped his hands in a salute.

General Feng smiled cheerfully, "Your Highness Prince Rong, as long as Princess Sheng likes it, everyone can enjoy it."

"Bring up the good wine, and fill it up quickly."

Two soldiers held wine jugs and divided into two groups to pour wine for each person. The air was filled with tempting aroma, making people eager to taste it.

Shangguan Wei couldn't wait to raise her glass and drink it down. "The wine tastes good, rich and mellow. It must have been settled in the wine cellar for at least three years."

General Feng gave a thumbs up and said, "Princess Sheng is an expert at wine connoisseurship. This wine is called Chenxiang, and it has a strong aftertaste. One glass will make you drunk. I have been reluctant to drink it for three years, but I didn't expect to meet a confidant as soon as I opened it. I would like to offer a glass to Princess Sheng." He raised the glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.

"Okay, let's drink together."

Shangguan Wei wanted to raise her cup to drink, but Situ Chong snatched the cup away from her. He then raised his head and drank, then put down the cup. "The princess can't hold her liquor, so I'll drink for her. General Feng wishes to present to His Royal Highness Prince Rong. Guests are welcome, and he can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

"Your Highness Prince Sheng is too modest. I am far less alcoholic than you."

Nan Yanqing finished speaking with a smile, raised his right hand and toasted to General Feng, "I toast to General Feng, Cheers." He raised his head and drank it all in one go, "General Feng, it's your turn."

"Okay, this general respects His Royal Highness Prince Rong."

General Feng smiled and drank it, then raised his right hand and said, "Shanghai seafood soup. Golden scale fish is a rare species and is not often available. Please enjoy it."

"Great, I like fish soup the most."

"Since you like it, Princess Sheng, drink more."

A large white porcelain bowl was placed in the middle of the long table. The aroma of the fish soup was rich and mellow. The fresh fish meat jumped in the pot, releasing the tempting freshness, as if telling of their deliciousness and tenderness. The soup was turbid milky white, and the delicate texture was like silk, dancing lightly, arousing people's appetite.

"It tastes good, really good, and the meat is fresh and tender, it's really a must."

Shangguan Wei finished a bowl of fish soup and commented as she ate.

Nan Yanqing took two bites of the fish and said, "Well, it's really delicious."

Shangguan Wei saw that Situ Chong couldn't pick up his chopsticks, "Husband, you haven't started eating yet, do you hate eating fish?"

Situ Chong shook his head and chuckled, "I don't hate it. I like watching Madam eat fish. Your husband will eat it later."

Shangguan Wei held a piece of fish in her right hand and put it close to Situ Chong's mouth, "Eat it, husband. It won't taste good if it's cold." Then she swayed her face back and forth towards the door, covered her mouth with her left hand and whispered, "If my husband doesn't eat it, we won't have any more fun."

Situ Chong smiled and bit his chopsticks, eating the fish chunks, "Madam, I want more."

The handsome face was magnified in front of her eyes, and her voice was low and full of magnetism. Shangguan Wei was fascinated. She retracted her chopsticks with her right hand and said with a red face, "Don't tease me, I have something serious to do."

"Well, when this is over, Madam, please compensate me."

"My husband feels dizzy. I need to take a nap for a while."

After Shangguan Wei finished speaking loudly, she threw herself into Situ Chong's arms and began to breathe evenly. General Feng asked with concern, "Is Princess Sheng tired? Or is she drunk? Do you want to carry her back to rest?"

As soon as the words fell, Nan Yanqing blushed and said dizzily, "This king seems to be drunk. It seems that Chenxiang's reputation is well-deserved..."

He didn't finish his words as he lay down on the table, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

General Feng shook his head helplessly. "Alas, Chenxiang can easily make people drunk. Princess Sheng and His Royal Highness Prince Rong are both drunk. They will be fine after a good sleep."

Situ Chong shook his head and said, "General Feng is right. I am also starting to feel dizzy." After saying that, he lay down on the table.

"Have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

General Feng stood up and walked out of the small door with a soldier. When he came to the bow, he took out the flare in his arms, lit it and threw it into the sky.

Turning his head to look into the cabin, his eyes became sinister, "Your Highness Prince Sheng, please don't blame me. We all serve our masters, and I just want to find a way out for my master."
