Be a man today too!

Because Chi Yuan doesn't like to drink alcohol, but it is the royal wine for the emperor's birthday banquet after all, so naturally it cannot be taken away, so Chi Yuan put it casually, at this moment, he found that the prince had turned around at some point Looking at him, the other party's gaze was very deep, as if some inexplicable emotion was surging.

At this time, the surroundings suddenly became lively, and the music gradually changed from the gentle "Zhonghe Shaoyue" to the brisk "Danbi Dale" at the beginning. Chi Yuan also became a little nervous under the other party's sight. Just as he was about to say something, the prince spoke before him. His voice was a little low, but soft, like the rustling sound of fingers scraping on paper: "Your customs in Xiangbei are like this... ?

In fact, Ji Lingfeng originally wanted to say something serious, especially when he saw the young man staring at his third brother unabashedly just now, his eyes seemed to be shining brightly, he was so angry at that time, but he said a word Can't say it.

And after the third brother finished his congratulatory speech and provoked his father to pretend to be angry, he noticed that the young man frowned, as if he was very worried about the third brother. Seeing this scene, Ji Lingfeng felt sore and astringent, and was extremely unhappy But I still couldn't see the boy frowning, so I explained, but I didn't expect the boy to show such a happy smile after knowing that the third brother was fine.

At this time, Ji Lingfeng was sure that the young man really liked his third brother a little bit...

But he really didn't understand why the boy was so enthusiastic when he saw the third brother for the first time!In a blink of an eye, Ji Lingfeng remembered the time when the boy and him first met, no, he had never seen him before, but once he fell in love with him, he began to throw himself into his arms, doing everything he could, and being extremely proactive!

Ji Lingfeng realized that this might not be the boy's fault, but that the folk customs in Xiangbei are very open and tough...

But even knowing this, Ji Lingfeng is still angry, if the boy really empathizes, what should he do!

So Ji Lingfeng questioned him, wanting to know the boy's true intentions, but for some reason, when he said it, he couldn't help feeling a bit softer in his heart, and he knew in his heart how could he blame the boy?This is the reason why the customs of the two sides are very different. Besides, no matter how open Xiangbei is, after marriage, it will still be very different, right?

When Chi Yuan heard this question, he felt a little strange. Why did the prince suddenly ask about the customs in Xiangbei? Is it a test?So what?Could it be that there is something wrong with what he did just now?

However, Chi Yuan really doesn't know much about Xiangbei, and he doesn't know how to answer the words, so he can only vaguely say: "That's right, that's exactly the case."

Ji Lingfeng never thought that the young man would admit it so openly, and the other party's eyes were so frank, like a clear mirror, showing that he had nowhere to hide.

At this moment, Ji Lingfeng's heart seemed to be caught, and the wine glass in his hand tightened even more. He couldn't help but sneered, and at the same time retorted: "Oh, is it? Our Central Plains is different!"

Chi Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard this sentence. Although he didn't know what was going on, he understood that he really seemed to have done something wrong, because he felt that the other party seemed to be a little angry, and his tone was a little different from what he said just now. same.

But he really didn't know what was wrong, so Chi Yuan thought about it, and said with a smile: "How about your Highness teach me?"

Hearing this sentence, even Ji Lingfeng, who was still angry just now, disappeared and froze in place. What does this mean?He knew that what he meant was to accuse him of being a little frivolous, but he was not angry at all, and instead let himself teach him...

But how to teach such a thing?Do you have to say something that makes him only like yourself?Besides, he was clearly aware of his own intentions, and he still asked him like this...

At this moment Ji Lingfeng looked at the boy's smiling eyes and was really embarrassed to say it, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and understood something, the boy was molesting him~

Thinking of the original intention of the other party, Ji Lingfeng's whole heart seemed to be surging with heat waves, but he nodded calmly on his face.

Seeing that his friend is still as easy to talk as before, Chi Yuan also heaves a sigh of relief. At least so far, everything that has happened is similar to what he expected, except that the identity of his friend has changed.

However, the status of the prince is naturally much better than that of the third prince, and the character of the friend is also very good.

Thinking of this, Chi Yuan also made up his mind. Next, he only needs to maintain the current friendship with his friends. Of course, it would be great if he could go further.

Just as Chi Yuan was thinking, the first dish was also presented.

Because it is a palace birthday banquet, it is divided into dishes. Besides, there are as many as 1000 guests today. Naturally, each dish is very small, which is about one-fifth of a dish on weekdays. Each dish only has a small bite .

Although Chi Yuan and the prince sat at a long table, their dishes were still separate.

At this time, the desserts, candied fruit and dried fruits that had been placed before the birthday banquet were all removed by the maids, and the appetizers and soup were served first.

But there are as many as five kinds of appetizers alone, Chi Yuan looked at them and thought they liked them.And the most surprising thing is that although these imperial chefs are responsible for the meals of thousands of people, they are still so delicate that they all make people salivate, which shows the skill of the imperial chefs.

Chi Yuan tasted one of the dishes casually. Although he didn't know the name of the dish, it could be seen that it was made of shellfish and belonged to the seafood category.After the shells are washed, only half of them are left, and they are placed on a plate, which looks as smooth as jade, whiter than snow, with shell meat on top, purple cabbage, parsley and cherry tomatoes as a dish. Embellishment, more bright color, very attractive.

Chi Yuan picked up the shellfish and put it in his mouth. He found that it was steamed just right, and it was still hot. Not only that, there was also a scent of roses in it. Presumably the chef had a unique ingenuity and used rose petals as a decoration.

After Chi Yuan finished eating, he was still a little bit unsatisfied, but it's a pity that everyone only had such a small portion.

At this moment, the prince pushed his share over.

Chi Yuan couldn't help but glanced at each other. In fact, the two had eaten together a few times outside, but under normal circumstances, the crown prince didn't eat much. Instead, he wanted to eat more every time. Of course, Chi Yuan It is only now that I know that the dishes in the palace are so delicious, no wonder the prince mostly watches him eat.And every time the prince finished eating, he always took care of him in this way.

So Chi Yuan was not surprised, but this time he was in the court, so it was naturally different from usual, but the prince still treated him like this, which really moved him a little.

Chi Yuan didn't know how to express his thoughts, and thanking him seemed a little too rusty.

Chi Yuan thought about it, and decided to try his best to behave the same as before, as if they were still close friends.So Chi Yuan moved a little to the side, so that the distance was a little closer, and it was very convenient for the two of them to talk.

After noticing the young man's movements, Ji Lingfeng couldn't help but froze slightly. He didn't expect that the young man was not satisfied with just verbal teasing, but wanted some physical contact!

If it was in private, Ji Lingfeng would naturally think it was nothing, but it was at the birthday banquet of the emperor, how could it be?

However, Ji Lingfeng didn't know how to reject the boy. After all, even if he pointed out his inappropriate behavior just now, he didn't restrain himself, but admitted it frankly.

So Ji Lingfeng also glanced around worriedly at this time, only to see that the second and third brothers on the opposite side didn't notice this place, as if they were fighting silently, they turned their heads to each other, but didn't look at each other.Meanwhile, the fourth brother and the fifth emperor were concentrating on eating, as for the people behind them who were blocked by the maids, they couldn't see them.

But even so, Ji Lingfeng was still a little worried, he had no choice but to rely on the young man, it's better to keep this kind of thing hidden!
