Chapter 51 Come and drink
At this moment, He Tingxi's heart was excited. He hurriedly changed his clothes and went to Ling Xiyue's yard with the help of the guards.
Xiaoyin returned to Ling Xiyue and said excitedly, "Miss, His Highness said he will be here soon."
"Okay, then we'll wait for him to come." Ling Xiyue nodded with satisfaction.
She sat quietly at the table, waiting for He Tingxi, while Xiaoyin stood beside her, waiting to be ordered.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiaoyin, who was standing, was the first to see the guard pushing He Tingxi into the room. She whispered a reminder to Ling Xiyue.
"My lady, the prince is here."
Ling Xiyue looked outside and saw that it was He Tingxi. She stood up and prepared to greet He Tingxi.
When she saw the guard pushing He Tingxi into the room, she bowed slightly.
"Your Highness."
He Tingxi replied with a smile on his face, "Sit down."
"Yes." Ling Xiyue then sat down.
The guard pushed He Tingxi to the table and left the room.
He Tingxi looked at the appetizers on the table, smiled slightly, and said to Ling Xiyue: "There are quite a lot of appetizers, one person really can't finish them all."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to help with the food, otherwise it would have been wasted." Ling Xiyue said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiaoyin lowered her head and pursed her lips, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
He Tingxi smiled and looked at Xiaoyin, "Xiaoyin, pour the wine."
"Yes."
Xiaoyin quickly came to her senses and filled up the glasses of wine for He Tingxi and Ling Xiyue.
While eating the side dishes, He Tingxi asked, "I don't usually see you drinking, why do you suddenly want to drink today?"
"I'm in a good mood today, so I want to drink." Ling Xiyue responded with a smile.
"Really?" He Tingxi smiled slightly.
"Yes." Ling Xiyue nodded.
He Tingxi put down his chopsticks and raised his glass to Ling Xiyue, "Well, it's a rare happy occasion. I'll finish my drink, you can do whatever you want."
Ling Xiyue also raised her glass and clinked it with He Tingxi's, "Okay."
He Tingxi took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing it, he turned the glass over to indicate that he had finished it.
Seeing this, Ling Xiyue also imitated He Tingxi and wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a sip, she tasted the wine very sweet, like the glutinous rice wine we drink today. She was overjoyed and finished it in one gulp. She also turned the glass over to indicate that she had finished it.
Don't forget to praise.
"This wine is delicious and sweet."
Seeing Ling Xiyue drinking so quickly, He Tingxi hurriedly advised: "Xiyue, this wine has some aftereffects, don't drink so fast."
"Is there any staying power?"
Ling Xiyue was a little surprised, then she bit her lip to hide the joy on her face and put down the wine glass.
"Yes, you should drink slowly." He Tingxi advised seriously.
"It's okay. If you drink enough, you will definitely fall asleep quickly."
After Ling Xiyue said this in a carefree manner, she instructed Xiaoyin, "Xiaoyin, fill it up again."
"Yes." Xiaoyin filled Ling Xiyue's glass very noticeably, and then filled He Tingxi's glass as well.
When Ling Xiyue saw that the glass was full, she immediately raised the glass again and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Ling Xiyue drinking so readily, He Tingxi was a little confused and couldn't help frowning, but he still finished the wine in the glass.
When Xiaoyin saw Ling Xiyue and the others put down their wine glasses, she filled them up without waiting for instructions.
Ling Xiyue picked up the wine glass again and wanted to continue drinking. He Tingxi quickly reached out and held Ling Xiyue's hand, and advised: "Why don't you eat some meat first? Don't drink too much on an empty stomach."
Ling Xiyue was stunned. She looked down at He Tingxi's hand, a little surprised.
Seeing this, He Tingxi hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Ling Xiyue, with a slight embarrassment on his face, and he quickly shifted his gaze.
"Let's eat some meat first."
After saying that, he picked up a few pieces of meat and put them into Ling Xiyue's bowl.
"Ok."
Ling Xiyue picked up the chopsticks, picked up the meat in the bowl, and started eating.
Seeing Ling Xiyue's cooperation, He Tingxi felt relieved. He also picked up a piece of meat and talked while eating.
"You have to eat the appetizers while drinking to enjoy the drink. You can't just drink the drink."
"Your Highness, you seem to be very experienced. Do you drink often?" Ling Xiyue asked curiously.
"When I was in the military camp, I hardly drank because it would cause me to mess up my work. After returning to the capital, I would drink a little when I had banquets. Normally, when there was nothing to do, I wouldn't drink." He Tingxi said softly.
"Then, Your Highness shouldn't be a heavy drinker, right? Why do you drink so little on a normal day?"
Ling Xiyue pointed at the wine jar and continued, "Here are two kilograms of wine. Can Your Highness drink it all?"
He Tingxi looked at the wine jar, smiled, and said casually.
"Although I seldom drink, it doesn't mean I can't drink. It's just two kilograms of wine, no big deal."
Ling Xiyue was instantly interested when she heard this and suggested, "Two kilograms of wine is nothing, why don't we add more wine and drink to our heart's content?"
He Tingxi vaguely felt something, and he was secretly happy and agreed readily.
"Okay, no problem, Xiyue, if you want to drink, I'll accompany you tonight."
"Xiaoyin, go get some wine." Ling Xiyue looked at Xiaoyin and ordered.
"Miss, how much do you want?" Xiaoyin was a little confused.
"Uh...how much should I take?" Ling Xiyue pondered.
Seeing this, He Tingxi smiled faintly, and then said to Xiaoyin: "Just bring four jars over."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiaoyin responded and walked out of the room immediately.
"Your Highness, do you want four jars? Would that be too much?" Ling Xiyue looked at He Tingxi, somewhat surprised.
"Is it a lot? If you feel embarrassed, then I'll drink three jars and you drink one?" He Tingxi said with a smile.
Ling Xiyue was startled, thinking: Your Highness, he drank so much, what if he gets drunk? Wouldn't that ruin everything?
"No need, we each have two jars, that's fair." She waved her hands quickly.
He Tingxi looked at Ling Xiyue, and suddenly a thought came to his mind.
"Two jars per person? How about we have a competition to see who finishes drinking first? The loser has to make a wish for the other. How about it? Do you dare to challenge me?" He Tingxi asked tentatively.
Ling Xiyue was stunned. "Competition? The loser has to grant the other party a wish? Any wish is fine?"
"As long as it's not a crime, it's fine. Do you dare to challenge it?" He Tingxi asked again.
Ling Xiyue thought: Your Highness, has he already known my thoughts? Is he testing me? It should be, Your Highness is so smart, how could he not know? Okay, let's just act it out.
"Okay, no problem. If you lose, you have to grant me a wish and you are not allowed to regret it." Ling Xiyue emphasized.
"Of course, you can mention anything. As long as it is not a crime, I will agree to it." He Tingxi agreed readily.
Ling Xiyue nodded with satisfaction. She looked at the wine jar on the table and suddenly thought of a question.
"Your Highness, what about this jar of wine? It can't be wasted, right? Why don't you drink it too? Think about it, you are a man, and your physique is bigger than mine, so you should drink more than me, right?"
A cunning look flashed across Ling Xiyue's face and eyes.
He Tingxi looked at the wine jar in front of him, and he smiled and nodded, "Okay, you are right, this is fair."
