”Uncle, don't be angry. You were drunk just now.”

Jin Chuao turned around and pushed Sima Hong into his seat, and then picked up a cup of tea from the table, ”turned around and pushed Sima Hong into his seat, and picked up a cup of tea from the table,” turned around and pushed Sima Hong into his seat.

It was rare for Sima Hong to also find a way down, so he naturally wouldn't reject Qiao Qiao's offer. Otherwise, he would just be at a loss. Moreover, he did not bring many people with him when the banquet was being held today. Even if it were to get out of hand, it would be very unsightly.

Liu Yuanheng did not care about how much they competed against each other. Who was the empress's position, to him, it didn't even have anything to do with him. However, even an outsider like him could see through it. Let's not talk about whether this Zhuang Fei was suitable to be an empress or not. As a foreign princess, Jade Concubine wasn't suitable to be an empress either.

The North Jin's Emperor was not a fool. Letting her become the Empress was equivalent to giving half of the land and rivers to someone else.

”I'm tired, First Prince can take over on my behalf.”

Prime Minister Zhong stood up and agreed. Only after taking the job did he know that it was not easy to complete. The imperial court's civil and military officials and Duke of Qian were easy to deal with, but Sima Hong and Liu Yuanheng were not easy to deal with.

He had a way to keep his promises watertight, but this kind of painstaking work was enough to give him a headache.

With the departure of the emperor, the atmosphere in the great hall instantly relaxed a bit. All of the ministers also began to raise their cups in greeting.

Qian Junhao had aged, and did not want to participate in this kind of activity. He pushed aside the third lord who came to toast him, and when he saw that there were still a few ministers walking towards him from behind, Qian Junhao gave him a meaningful glance.

”Milords, I am here to thank everyone on behalf of my father. He is too old for his wine, so I can't accompany him. Qian Yun will do it first as a form of respect.”

Qian Yun downed the alcohol, causing the ministers to be helpless: ”If that's the case, then we will not be courteous anymore.”

Even though they were unwilling, the adults still left.

Duke of Qian was supported by Qian Yun as he walked out of the hall. It had been so many years since he participated in such an event that he couldn't hold on anymore.

Liu Yuanheng nodded to the Duke of Qian in front of him, and watched as they left. His side definitely did not have any way to leave first. These ministers of the North Jin, upon seeing that they were being courteous to them, actually drank their wine without hesitation.

However, it seemed that because he hadn't caused too much trouble in the main hall, the ministers couldn't figure out his temperament at the moment, and there weren't many people who came to drink with him.

Looking at the few princes in front of him, First Prince was currently standing with Sima Hong. Even though First Prince looked ordinary, he was not an incompetent person.

I have long heard that Fourth Prince is very handsome, and seeing him today, he indeed deserves his reputation, but this Fourth Prince is even more extraordinary. Logically speaking, Zhuang Fei should have been his mother, but his mother had been wronged, so he didn't express anything. He wasn't sure if he could keep his composure or what.

He had long heard of this Sixth Prince's reputation. It was no wonder why there were so few people who came to drink with him.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Jin Chupei's sharp gaze instantly shot over. Seeing that it was Liu Yuanheng, she was slightly startled, but still managed to calm down. He nodded and looked away.

Liu Yuanheng also didn't think that the genuine Sixth Prince would actually greet him. He was very surprised in his heart. Just as he was about to bring a cup of wine to toast him, Sixth Prince stood up.

”Sixth Brother, where are you going?”

Seeing Jin Chupei getting up, Jin Chuxuan also slowly got up, smoothing the wrinkles on his body.

”If you want to return to the manor, you can leave together with me. I'm getting tired of staying here.”

Jin Chuao saw what Jin Chupei and Jin Chuxuan were talking about from a distance. Seeing Jin Chupei only turn his head indifferently and did not reply, his heart felt much better.

Although he did not have much help from Jin Chupei, if he were to turn around and help the Fourth Prince, it would bring him some trouble.

When Jin Chupei and Jin Chuxuan passed by, Jin Chuao had still moved his body a little. He then moved his body out.

”Sixth Brother, the weather is cold, the road is far away from dark, it would be better for us to return home earlier.”

Jin Chupei paused for a moment, then nodded, ”Thank you, royal brother.”

After Jin Chupei walked past, Jin Chuxuan slowly caught up. Facing Jin Chuao's threatening gaze, Jin Chuxuan acted like he did not see it at all. He had initially thought that the First Prince had changed a bit, but who would have thought that it would still be so stupid. It truly disappointed him.

Although it was called accompanying leaving the palace, Jin Chuxuan never thought that Jin Chupei would wait for him. Indeed, after exiting the palace, Jin Chupei had already disappeared from sight.

Standing on the jade steps, he surveyed his surroundings. Other than a few palace lamps, he could not see anything else. How could Jin Chupei leave so quickly? This place, he probably still went to the Qingyou Palace.

It seems that even a tough Sixth Prince would care about this.

Regardless of whether it was Jin Chuao or Jin Chuxuan, he was unwilling to go with them. Therefore, when Jin Chupei left the great hall, even if he rushed out of the palace, he could not think of where he was going.

He really wanted to see Sun Jinzi. It was as if he had been poisoned, as though after not seeing him for a single day, his heart would itchy up. But it was already late, and her body reeked of alcohol. If she saw Sun Jinzi, she would definitely be unhappy.

After standing on the palace wall for a while, Jin Chupei's figure quickly disappeared into the night.
