Chapter 1195 Melodramatic

The music and dancing marked the true beginning of the banquet . All kinds of delicacies were brought up, and fine wine filled their cups .

However, although this wine was also excellent and made by the Wine G.o.d Palace’s disciples, it was just ordinary wine to them . It didn’t contain any realm within it .

To Long Chen, Xia Yunchong, and Xia Youluo who had drunk those disciples’ best wines, it tasted more like water .

But the Grand Han’s people were immediately filled with praise as they drank it . At this time, Li Wanji returned, much calmer than before . But she still didn’t dare to look at Long Chen .

The Wine G.o.d Palace offered some of their wine for the Grand Xia’s national events to entertain guests . But this wine could not be sold or bought, it could only be gifted .

But there was no way the Grand Xia would gift the Grand Han any of this wine . Considering their tense relations.h.i.+p, just giving them some to drink right now was not bad .

That was why the Grand Han’s people found it almost impossible to taste the Wine G.o.d Palace’s wine . The majority of these people were tasting it for the first time . Now, they were doing their best to fill their stomachs with as much of it as possible, as if drinking just a little bit more was benefiting them .

Long Chen even saw someone stealthily put a half-full jug of wine into their spatial ring .

However, just a bit later, one of the attendants who came to fill up their wine saw that one of the jugs was missing . According to the rules, they had to replace the old jug with a new jug . All the jugs were counted .

The Wine G.o.d Palace’s wine jugs were special . They could be considered similar to medicinal cauldrons . The longer they were used, the more effective their sealing effect grew and the more precious they became . So the Wine G.o.d Palace had to take back their wine jugs .

The two maidens were holding new wine jugs . They looked at the two men of the Grand Han . For a moment, they didn’t know what to say . Without the wine jugs, they couldn’t give them new wine .

“What are you looking at? Someone already took away our wine jugs just now . Hurry up and pour us the new wine . ” The man who had stolen the wine also felt something was off, and his embarra.s.sment became anger as he shouted .

He didn’t know that while he could drink this wine, he couldn’t take the wine jugs . They were even more precious than the wine, and losing one or breaking one was a huge crime .

The two attendants’ expressions became unsightly . They didn’t know what to say and just lowered their heads, not saying anything . They didn’t leave, but they also didn’t put down the wine jugs in their hands .

“What do you think you’re doing? Are you saying I stole your wine?!” raged that man .

“Brother, you misunderstand . They don’t want your wine, they want that wine jug . If they’re missing a wine jug, they’ll at least be kicked out of the imperial city . A heavy punishment would be imprisonment . You can keep the wine you took, but you should hand over the wine jug . Do you have to make things hard on these two palace maidens?” said Long Chen, unable to keep watching .

“What nonsense . Aren’t you still saying that I stole the wine?!” raged that person . He had decided to refuse to admit it no matter what, because there was no way for him to admit to it . If he did, it would be too embarra.s.sing .

“Youluo, now you see . The real Grand Han’s men aren’t refined gentlemen . After taking things, they refuse to even admit to it . Now they want two pitiable palace maidens to take the blame for it . I trust that even a child of the Grand Xia wouldn’t do such a shameless thing . ” Long Chen looked at Xia Youluo helplessly .

Xia Youluo looked from this man to Han Wenjun . A distant expression appeared in her eyes . It seemed her beautiful dreams about the Grand Han’s arrival this time had been shattered .

“Pu Bucheng, shut your mouth . Hand it over, or I’ll immediately kill you,” ordered Han Wenjun, his expression dark .

That Pu Bucheng fellow immediately turned listless . He could only take out the wine jug from his spatial ring .

“I’m sorry everyone . This wine is just too good, and I wanted to leave some behind for my father . My apologies,” said Pu Bucheng extremely ashamedly .

This game again . Who do you think you’re fooling with such a thing? What a grand excuse to mask your own selfish desires . But seeing Xia Youluo’s anger fade, Long Chen knew that this foolish girl had fallen for it .

“Leave . From now on, you’re no longer a member of my Grand Han,” said Han Wenjun coldly .

“Grand prince, please give me a chance…” Pu Bucheng turned pale, his voice trembling .

“Pu Bucheng was simply doing his filial piety . It can count as forgivable . Prince Wenjun, you should be lenient,” said Xia Yunfeng .

As the host, he should do something as his guest beat a n.o.body . Otherwise, he wouldn’t appear magnanimous enough .

“Hmph, shouldn’t you thank the crown prince?” snorted Han Wenjun to Pu Bucheng .

Pu Bucheng immediately kowtowed and said a thousand thanks to Xia Yunfeng . Just like that, his offense of trying to steal the wine was excused, and he even received a name for being devoted to his father . Long Chen grumbled inside over how ridiculous that was .

After this, the atmosphere once more grew a bit awkward . The banquet ended in that awkward atmosphere, and everyone moved on to the Grand Xia’s Heavenly Cloud Platform .
