daily life

Chapter 167

Xiang Zhixuan took Xi Lang's cloak, pointed to the east, "Master is waiting for you." She moved closer and smelled his scent.Well, it's okay, it only has a very faint smell of wine, and it seems that I only drank three glasses today as usual.

Xi Lang smiled and tapped her forehead with his knuckles, "Why do you look like a kitten?"

"I'm afraid you drank too much." Xiang Zhixuan smiled and pushed him slightly, "Since you're back, let's go over quickly."

"Yeah." Seeing that she hadn't stopped, Xi Lang asked casually, "How about you? Why haven't you slept yet? Is there anything else?"

"I don't know if there's anything wrong, I'll tell you when something happens." Just now I thought about it, it was just a hypothesis.Xiangzhi Xuanzi will not mention things that did not happen.

Hearing these plausible words, Xi Lang explored her eyes.Nothing.She has always had clear and innocent eyes, and no one can tell if there is something in her heart, unless he tosses and turns at night to let him notice.

That's fine.

Xi Lang smiled and turned to the East Courtyard to see his father.

The old man came here directly after leaving the yamen, and he hadn't eaten yet, so at this moment, he ordered the servants to gather a table of food and wine, and ate in his son's study.

After Xi Lang entered the door, he couldn't help laughing when he saw his father eating.

The old man pointed to the chair opposite, "Sit down and have something to eat with me."

"Success." Xi Lang sat down leisurely.

The elder didn't even ask Xi Lang what he meant, and poured him a glass of wine.

The wine is the best bamboo leaf green.

Xi Lang wasn't in a hurry to drink, so he ate a few mouthfuls of food first.There are four kinds of meat and four vegetables on the table, and there are also pickles in several colors such as pickled peach kernels, sweet and sour brocade, and hot and sour cucumber strips.

When it comes to drinking, Xi Lang has a capacity for alcohol, but he is not addicted at all, and never wants to drink too much.If others don't take the initiative to raise a glass, he can save a glass of wine for Xi San.In this regard, the men who attacked the family were not as self-disciplined as him.The same is true for the elder, when he is happy or unhappy, he is willing to drink a few more glasses.

The old man raised his cup and gestured for Xi Lang.

Xi Lang raised his glass and drank it down.

The old man continued to pour the wine without saying a word.

The father and son drank seven or eight cups in a row, but the old man still didn't seem to be enjoying himself.

Xi Lang was very helpless.He didn't come here to drink with him, so he smiled, "If you drink any more, you'll be drunk—you're here just for drinking?"

The old man just said: "Talk while drinking."

Xi Lang smiled and said: "Then heat a pot and burn knives. I drink a lot in the army, not bad." Originally, he didn't like to drink warm wine, but now that his injury has not recovered, drinking warm wine is just right , will not hurt the body too much.

"Okay." The old man nodded readily.

"..." Xi Lang raised his hand and touched the center of his eyebrows, then turned his head and told the servant to warm the wine.

If you change drinks in the middle, you will get drunk very quickly.Knowing that his son was up to no good, the Elder Master thought of getting him drunk as soon as possible, so as to get a peace of mind, but when his heart was full of fire, he was not easy to get drunk.Even so, I also know that compared to Zhener, my drinking capacity is no match for my son.Therefore, after drinking two cups of burning knives, he talked about the business: "You are too close to the prince, this is not acceptable."

Xi Lang said casually: "The crown prince is here, can I avoid seeing him?"

"You can come and go in several directions. Prince Rui and Prince Huainan are the same." The Elder Master said, "You have been fighting for too long, and you have not been in the capital for several years. The situation in the palace is not as detailed as I am. Back then, the emperor appointed the crown prince early. When Empress Zhang passed away, she did this to appease his first wife. In fact, in terms of heart, the emperor loves Prince Rui and King Huainan even more in his heart, otherwise he would not let them stay in the capital without fiefdoms. The most important point is, Prince Rui's biological mother is the current empress. Although the crown prince was established early, the battle for the crown prince has never subsided, and the impeachment of the crown prince by officials has intensified. It is still unknown who will win and who will win."

Xi Lang didn't want to discuss these things with his father in detail, but said: "The crown prince didn't openly try to win me over, and everything that happened recently was ordered by the emperor."
