Chapter 404

King Xiao held the wine glass, and his eyes fell on Meng Nan, who was restless, "This is the son of the Meng family. He really is a talented person with extraordinary bearing!"

Meng Yuande smiled quite proudly, his son's appearance and bearing, not to mention the top among the princes in Kyoto, even if he was placed among the princes, was not inferior.

Meng Yuande said with a loud laugh: "Your Highness is overrated, a mediocre appearance like a child can be praised by Your Highness, and I am ashamed."

Meng Yuande stretched out his foot and kicked Meng Nan, who was in a daze.

Xiao Wang said: "It seems that Young Master Meng has something on his mind!"

Meng Nan returned to his senses, and hurriedly raised a glass to King Xiao, who seemed to be smiling gently: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Xiao is very famous, I am fortunate to meet today and drink with you. , I also hope that Your Highness will not be surprised, and the lower officials will do it first as a respect." After speaking, Meng Nan raised his head and drank the glass of wine.

Everyone in the world likes to hear nice words, and King Xiao is no exception.

Meng Nan's flattery made him very comfortable. After all, the Meng family was not an ordinary family.

Meng Yuande was the second-rank servant of the Ministry of Industry. Although this rank was nothing in front of his King Xiao, Meng Yuande's father, Meng Changxiong, was a first-rank grandmaster and one of the people most trusted by his father. The ability to overcome all opinions, overwhelmed the prince as a prince, and ascended to the emperor in one fell swoop, of which the greatest contribution was Taifu Meng Changxiong.

To this day, the royal father has been privately calling Master Taifu.

Not long after the father ascended the throne, he brought the only daughter of the Grand Fu into the palace. He was first conferred Zhaoyi, and after giving birth to the princess, he was promoted to Concubine Shu. She has been favored for many years. The means are too powerful, and finally did not give birth to the prince, otherwise, now he will have another strong enemy.

Over the years, the Meng family has grown in strength in Kyoto, and its power is unmatched among the prominent families. His mother often warned him that if he wants to achieve great things, he must draw the Meng family into his own camp, as long as he can get the support of Meng Changxiong. , Is he still worried that the big thing will not be accomplished by his good words in front of the father and emperor?

The smile on King Xiao's face was even greater, and the hand holding the cup was raised slightly, "Young Master Meng is so polite!" After saying that, he also drank the wine in the cup, and everyone looked at Meng Nan with envy and hatred. look.

Since the opening of the table, there were many people toasting to His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang all took a sip, and the young master of the Meng family said a word, and Xiao Wang toasted at once. I am afraid that this kind of treatment can only be obtained by the Meng family. .

Meng Yuande became more and more complacent, and was quite complacent. As expected, his son did not disappoint him, and he was much more sensible than before.

When the banquet was over, everyone was a little drunk, but Meng Nan was unusually sober. It was better to say that he did not dare to let himself get drunk.

Regarding Hu Feng, he still hasn't figured it out. If he gets drunk and says something he shouldn't say, the consequences are really unimaginable.

On the carriage back to the house, Meng Yuande leaned in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. He was happy today and drank a few more glasses. At this time, he was dizzy, his feet were weak, and he was very uncomfortable.

Meng Nan knew that he hadn't fallen asleep, so he endured it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Father, since the emperor made Concubine Chun the queen, why didn't he just make King Xiao the prince?"

Meng Yuande's closed eyes opened a slit, the carriage was very dark, and he was drunk and dim, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see his son's face clearly.

"Why are you asking this?" Meng Yuande asked back.
