Pang Xiao raised his wine glass and clinked it with Ji Zeyu's, then drank it all in one gulp.
Although he was on good terms with Ji Zeyu, both of them had no choice now. They were both people Your Majesty feared, so they had to protect themselves.
This matter involved his marriage with Qin Yining, so Pang Xiao didn't dare to be careless. It wasn't that he didn't trust Ji Zeyu, but he didn't trust Li Qitian.
Therefore, even though Pang Xiao's heart was bursting with joy, he suppressed it and just drank calmly with Ji Zeyu.
Ji Zeyu's exquisite face looked a little sad. His slender eyebrows were knitted together, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated. However, many of the words he wanted to say turned into sighs.
He grabbed the hemp rope tied to the mouth of the wine jar with one hand and used his other hand to support the jar. He tilted his head back and drank a few mouthfuls, not caring that his clothes were wet.
Pang Xiao saw that Ji Zeyu was drinking to his heart's content, so he didn't use the glass. He took the wine jar in Ji Zeyu's hand with both hands and tilted his head back to drink a few mouthfuls.
Ji Zeyu smiled at Pang Xiao. Seeing him gulp down the wine, he swallowed the spicy liquid in his mouth and laughed.
"Good! Good! "
"Good!"
The two of them shared a jar of wine and ate a few mouthfuls of food. Ji Zeyu said, "Bring more wine."
Pang Xiao shook his head and patted Ji Zeyu's shoulder. "Ah Lan, we can't get drunk. We have things to do tomorrow. Drinking too much will make things worse. "
Ji Zeyu frowned and patted Pang Xiao's hand on his shoulder.
"This is our life. We can't live to the fullest. We can't even choose the person we like for our marriage. We don't even dare to drink to our heart's content!"
Ji Zeyu's voice was a little hoarse from the alcohol.
Although he drank a lot and was a little drunk, his mind was still clear. It wasn't that he couldn't control his words and actions.
However, he couldn't hold back these words.
He was so helpless back then. Now that Pang Xiao was bestowed a marriage, he was walking the same path as him.
Ji Zeyu knew that Pang Xiao must be feeling very bad right now.
Pang Xiao saw that his brother was so sad because of his own matter, he felt very sorry in his heart.
He knew that Zeyu was thinking about his relationship with Li Helan.
His Majesty's marriage was a woman who he truly loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Your Majesty's marriage. He was also a woman whom he truly truly loved loved and whom he truly loved loved and wanted to spend the rest of his life's with him.. Your Majesty's's marriage was's's.

Pang Xiao said sincerely, "Ah Lan, the way things are right now is already very good. You saw it in the imperial court today. Minister Qin's's' abilities are not ordinary. It's not wrong to say that he has the ability to argue with the scholars. If I can have such a father-in-law, I might be able to live a more stable life in the future. Moreover, I really do like the Qin Clan. "
Ji Zeyu smiled brightly. His peach blossom eyes looked at Pang Xiao's sharp almond-shaped eyes. "I know that you like the Qin Clan. She's indeed a peerless beauty. However, with your father's' murder in between, how can you not feel the slightest bit of resentment in your heart? How can you not resist at all? "
Pang Xiao couldn't explain in detail, so he just smiled. "I've already let go of those things."
His forced smile was more painful than anything else in Ji Zeyu's eyes.
However, Ji Zeyu also knew their current situation. No matter how much he said, he would only add to Pang Xiao's troubles.
Life had to go on, and the imperial edict had to be obeyed.
"Forget it. A good man's ambition is to travel far and not be constrained by love. Since you've accepted it, then it's fine. "Ji Zeyu stood up and said," Zhixi, I'll take my leave. "
"I'll send you off."
"You want to send me off. I'm afraid that others will hear that I'm here to drink with you. If they know, they'll think that we're in cahoots. That won't be easy to explain."
Pang Xiao understood Ji Zeyu's meaning. It's just a drink between good friends. If people who are watching you report back to Your Majesty, what's the difference between that and losing one's freedom?
However, the current situation was like that.
Pang Xiao smiled at Ji Zeyu, then his face darkened. "Take care. I won't send you off."
Ji Zeyu played along and said, "Aren't you still busy marrying the enemy's daughter? There's no need to send me off. Go do what you need to do. "
"You! Are you questioning Your Majesty? "
"You flatter me. I don't think so. I'm speaking from your heart!"
"Ji Lan, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
"Pang Zhixi, I think your injuries have healed again!"
… …
Pang Xiao sent Ji Zeyu out. Along the way, the two of them quarreled non-stop.
Ji Zeyu walked faster and faster, and Pang Xiao also chased after him. The two of them quarreled all the way to the second door.
It was the servants of the residence who couldn't bear to see the two masters quarreling. They were afraid that it would turn into a bloody incident, so they smiled apologetically and came forward to separate the two of them.
In the end, Ji Zeyu left in a huff. Pang Xiao also returned to the study with a cold face.
Regardless of how much Li Qitian would laugh at this scene if it were to reach Your Majesty's ears, Ji Zeyu didn't say anything.
At this time, in Yangxin Palace Hall, Li Qitian was sitting on a kang by the window. He held a white chess piece in his hand and played against Lu Heng, who was holding a black chess piece. He didn't forget to secretly pay attention to Lu Heng's expression.
"Younger brother Lu. I presume you already know about the marriage between the Qin and the Zhao families? "
When Lu Heng heard Li Qitian's polite and careful voice, he smiled slightly and replied politely.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this subject already knows."
Li Qitian felt much more at ease when he saw that Lu Heng was so polite. He smiled and said, "The reason why I granted the marriage between the two families is for the sake of national affairs. Everyone knows about the feud between the Qin Huaiyuan and Pang Xiao. One of them is a noble, while the other is a surrendered subject. It can be said that they are both my trusted subordinates. I really don't want them to have internal strife and kill each other.
"Since ancient times, marriage has been the most effective way to bind the two families. For the sake of the stability of the imperial court, the marriage between the two families is inevitable."
Li Qitian's explanation was clear and logical. Although Li Qitian retained his title and dignity as the Son of Heaven, he still felt extremely uncomfortable explaining his actions to a scion of a noble family.
Lu Heng only smiled faintly. He didn't notice Li Qitian's expression at all. He said, "Is Your Majesty really sure that they don't get along?"
Li Qitian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Lu Heng's words unintentionally poked at what Li Qitian was most worried about.
Now that he thought about the marriage in the palace hall today, he felt a strange feeling. However, he just couldn't remember what that feeling was.
He really did want to bind the two families together to prevent a bloody incident from occurring. If he lost either the Qin Huaiyuan or Pang Xiao, it would affect his imperial court.
However, whether he made the decision to bind the two families together or whether he had been schemed against was completely different.
