Long Fei Ye soaked his hands in the golden basin as he prepared to wash his hands.
Everyone looked over. He hadn't moved his chopsticks or cups yet, so who would dare to eat, drink, or chat? Naturally, they all had to wait quietly for him to start eating. Only then would they dare to let loose and continue with the banquet.
Under everyone's gaze, Long Fei Ye acted as if there was no one around as he patiently soaked his hands. Xu Donglin was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. He wasn't as calm as His Highness. If the princess didn't come over, he wouldn't be able to hold on!
Han Yunxi really didn't understand what Xu Donglin meant!
If Long Fei Ye wanted to wash his hands, then wash his hands. What did it have to do with her? Xu Donglin was a martial artist, so how could he not be able to hold that basin of water steadily? Or did he need her to go over and get a handkerchief for Long Fei Ye to use to wipe his hands?
She was about to walk over when Xu Donglin couldn't help but whisper, "Feiyun, what are you doing in a daze? Come over and serve me!"
Feiyun was the fake name Long Fei Ye gave Han Yunxi. She took the "fei" character in his name and made it sound like "fei". She took the "yun" character in her name and made it sound like "yun".
"Yes!"
Han Yunxi strode over and was about to take the handkerchief from Xu Donglin's shoulder when Xu Donglin whispered, "Wash your hands, wash your hands!"
Not only did Han Yunxi hear it, Long Fei Ye also heard it very clearly. He looked down at his hands. His entire person was very quiet, but the corner of his mouth hooked up in an extremely beautiful arc.
Han Yunxi finally understood what was going on. She cursed in her heart. Long Fei Ye, this guy, really knew how to enjoy life. He needed two people to serve him just to wash his hands. One held the basin of water, and the other helped wash.
What was the difference between this and those pampered masters in the palace ah!
Very soon, Han Yunxi realized that she'd made a mistake. This fellow was a master of the imperial palace to begin with, not a brute on the battlefield. It was perfectly normal for two people to help him wash his hands. He had never been accustomed to being served by maidservants, so it was normal for her and Xu Donglin to be served by two bodyguards.
She was finally enlightened, so under everyone's watchful eyes, she calmly leaned over and reached her slender hand into the cold water, carefully holding his large hand.
As soon as she touched it, she didn't know why, but her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. They were obviously very intimate, but why did their hearts race when they held hands?
She inadvertently raised her head and met his deep black eyes. He had a faint smile on his face, as gentle as the water in each other's hands. She also smiled and quickly lowered her head, afraid that she would be exposed.
Under the watchful eyes of so many people, he had to restrain himself!
Who knew that the moment she lowered her head, his ten fingers would latch onto hers, refusing to let go!
She was shocked and struggled slightly, but he refused to let go.
Fortunately, the golden basin was deep enough. Otherwise, everyone present would have seen it. This guy, he was really too much!
Xu Donglin had seen everything. He also felt that His Highness really knew how to play. Enough!
Everyone in the audience was watching and waiting! If this continued, there was no way they wouldn't be exposed!
Baili Yuanlong and Baili Mingxiang had long known that Yunfei was Han Yunxi. The father and daughter were both watching! Baili Yuanlong couldn't hide his anger. His Highness was simply fooling around! If he wanted to be good to this woman, he couldn't stop him, nor would he bother to stop him. However, he couldn't play around like this in public!
However, Baili Mingxiang bitterly lowered her head. She knew that His Highness wasn't an extremely licentious and licentious person.
Just now, the soldiers had kicked up a fuss between her and His Highness, which must have caused His Highness to be dissatisfied. His Highness had done this to warn her father to watch his subordinates' mouths.
In fact, the soldiers only dared to kick up a fuss because they had her father's permission. Otherwise, who would dare to use this kind of thing to kick up a fuss? His Highness was also stupid. It could be seen with a single glance.
Ever since the princess' identity was exposed, she had always been by His Highness' side. Her father began to have thoughts of wanting her to stay by His Highness' side.
"This is truly outrageous! It's fine if His Highness is fooling around, but she actually doesn't know how to restrain herself! This is my East Qin camp! "Baili Yuanlong couldn't help cursing in a low voice.
"Father!" Baili Mingxiang grabbed his hand in shock. Fortunately, the tables on the left and right were long and people were sitting far away, so they didn't hear anything.
Baili Yuanlong glared at her. "You should at least learn from her!"
Baili Mingxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her father had probably gone crazy from His Highness' torment. He scolded the princess while also wanting her to learn from her? What could she learn from the princess?
She could learn how to dress, she could learn how to detoxify poison, but there were some things that could never be learned. They were innate!
Baili Mingxiang said in a low voice, "Father, His Highness only wants the princess. The princess is your daughter's savior. Your daughter …"
"So what? When the two sides fight in the future, my East Qin will definitely wipe out all of her Western Qin allies. Even if His Highness keeps her, she will at most be given the position of imperial concubine. It's impossible for her to have a future! "
It wasn't unprecedented for an enemy country's princess to be an imperial concubine. It was just that she was only an imperial concubine in name, but in reality, she was just a prisoner of war used to humiliate the enemy country. Even if His Highness only wanted her and didn't intend to humiliate her, he absolutely couldn't make her the empress.
The empress was the mother of the country, the main wife, the mother of the world. She absolutely couldn't be stained.
In Baili Yuanlong's eyes, there were no feelings between men and women, no true feelings, and no mutual affection. There was only the equality of status, the matching of qualifications and titles.
His daughter was much more qualified than Han Yunxi.
Unable to refute her father, Baili Mingxiang lowered her head and didn't say anything else.
At this time, Xu Donglin finally couldn't take it anymore. He reminded in a low voice, "Your Highness, the good wine you ordered has been delivered."
Long Fei Ye immediately let go. Han Yunxi let out a sigh of relief and secretly glanced at him. She took a handkerchief and placed it in his hand, then immediately took a step back. There was no way she was going to help him wipe it!
Long Fei Ye didn't make things difficult for him. After wiping it twice, he threw the handkerchief into the basin and indicated for Xu Donglin to withdraw. "Go bring up the good wine this Crown Prince has prepared. Today, this Crown Prince will properly reward the soldiers! Everyone, no one will go home until they're drunk! "
Baili Yuanlong finally spat out the stuffy breath in his heart. He stood up, picked up the wine, and loudly declared, "This general has already made the necessary arrangements for tonight's defense. Everyone, this is the first time His Highness has personally come to the military camp. Everyone, drink to your heart's content. This general won't forgive anyone who spoils His Highness' mood!"
After he finished speaking, he downed the wine in his cup and fiercely smashed it to the ground. "Drink, no one will go home until they're drunk!"
Following that, there was a "bang" as the wine cup shattered. Everyone cheered. After the good wine was delivered, it wasn't long before everyone was toasting each other. It was a lively scene.
Long Fei Ye, who rarely drank, was in a good mood. After a while, he drank several cups with the deputy generals who came forward to propose a toast. Several cooks cooked delicacies over the bonfire and respectfully presented them to Long Fei Ye.
Long Fei Ye waved his hand, indicating for the soldiers to divide the delicacies. There was a crispy fat lamb, a roasted pig that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and delicious game. Everyone was overjoyed.
Long Fei Ye called over a cook and instructed, "Divide the fat lamb. The brothers on night watch have worked hard!"
When everyone heard this, they all praised. His Highness looked high and mighty, but he was still very close to the people!
The cook cut up the roasted fat lamb. Deputy General Zhao picked the most delicious leg meat and delivered the first portion to Xu Donglin. "Grandfather Xu, the Shadow Guard Regiment has worked hard these days!"
Xu Donglin was His Highness' favorite. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with him?
Xu Donglin naturally accepted it. He picked out the best portion and handed it to Han Yunxi, saying seriously, "Here, this is His Highness's reward!"
Han Yunxi was His Highness' only woman! How could Xu Donglin not curry favor with her?
Just like that, Han Yunxi received Long Fei Ye's reward. She received the most tender delicacies. Long Fei Ye looked back at her with a smile. He was very satisfied!
After everyone had eaten their fill and drank a few rounds, someone suggested a sword dance.
There were no dancers or singers to liven things up, so Baili Yuanlong was the first to draw his sword and perform a sword dance. A few soldiers immediately ordered someone to bring over bells, drums, and bells. They played a passionate melody to accompany Baili Yuanlong. Soon, a few deputy generals joined Baili Yuanlong. Their dance was magnificent and beautiful!
Long Fei Ye was excited. He also stood up and drew his sword!
Han Yunxi watched and couldn't help but become excited. She thought of a poem, "Drunk, I look at the sword under the lamp. In my dream, I blow the horn and link the barracks. Eight hundred li of soldiers under my command, fifty bowstrings fluttering beyond the Great Wall. Soldiers on the battlefield in autumn! "
The liveliness of the main camp affected the surroundings. The entire barracks was as bright as day, bustling with noise and excitement …
The banquet didn't end until late at night. Everyone was drunk, especially Baili Yuanlong, who was dead drunk. After so many years, this was the first time he had indulged himself.
Baili Mingxiang supported his father as he responded. He couldn't help but look back, only to see that His Highness, who had drunk several jars of wine, wasn't drunk at all. He was walking toward the main camp with Xu Donglin and "Feiyun" following behind him.
Baili Mingxiang should've left, but in the end, he couldn't control himself and stopped in place. After His Highness and the others arrived at the main camp, Xu Donglin waited at the door while "Feiyun" followed in.
It wasn't until he saw this scene that Baili Mingxiang turned back and silently continued to support his father as they left. In the dark night, she silently left a trail of bitter tears. No one could see it clearly.
Your Highness, Mingxiang really, really likes you.
But Mingxiang can't, can't, dare not …
Han Yunxi followed Long Fei Ye back to the main camp. She was immediately awed by the luxurious and domineering atmosphere of the main camp. Just the complete tiger pelt on Long Fei Ye's chair alone was worth a lot. The main camp was the same as her own, divided into an inner and outer room. The inner room was Long Fei Ye's bedroom, while the outer room was where they discussed official business. The difference was that the outer room alone was comparable to her tent.
Long Fei Ye lazily sat down on a short couch and sized up Han Yunxi's appearance in men's clothing. He hadn't had a chance to properly look at her appearance today.
Han Yunxi ignored him. She had nothing to do tonight, so she was counting his wine. There were eight jars in total. Drinking like this was too harmful to the body.
The best remedy was warm water. Large amounts of water could expel the alcohol from the body.
Han Yunxi hurriedly absorbed the water and prepared to pour Long Fei Ye some. Unexpectedly, just as she reached the basin, Long Fei Ye came over and hugged her from behind.
Her hand had just touched the water when his large hand pressed down and pressed her small hand to the bottom of the basin.
"Stop fooling around. I'll pour you some water. You drank too much tonight. "Han Yunxi was very serious.
Long Fei Ye didn't answer her. He took her small hand and very carefully washed her fingers one by one.
He whispered, "Do you think I'm drunk?"
