Chapter 403: Flattery

While holding a glass wine on his hand, Prince Xiao’s eyes fell on Meng Nan, who was restless: “This son of Meng Family is truly a talented person and has a great manner!”

Meng Yuande smiled very proudly. His son’s appearance could be said one of the best in the capital.

Meng Yuande said with a wide smile: “You’re overpraising him, your highness. Such a mediocre appearance to be praised by your highness, I extremely feel ashamed.”

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

Prince Xiao said: “It seems that the Meng family’s son has something on his mind!”

When Meng Nan came back to his senses, he hurriedly raised his wine glass and raised a toast to the seemingly gentle Prince Xiao: “I heard that his highness, Prince Xiao is very famous. I feel very honor to see you today and have a drink with you. I got so excited and nervous, I lose my mind for a while. I hope his highness will not blame me. I’ll offer you a drink first.” After that, Meng Nan drank all the wine in his glass.

People like to listen to good words, and Prince Xiao was no exception.

Meng Nan’s flattery made him feel very comfortable. After all, Meng Family was not an ordinary family.

Meng Yuande was a 2nd-rank assistant minister in the Ministry of Industry. Although this rank was nothing in the eyes of Prince Xiao, Meng Yuande’s father, Meng Zhangxiong, was the tutor of princes, and one of the emperor’s most trusted aide. The emperor was able to take the throne in one fell swoop, under the help of his aide, but the person, who contributed the most was no other than, Meng Taifu.

His imperial father was calling Meng Taifu in private.

Shortly after his imperial father ascended to the throne, he married Meng Taifu’s only daughter and first sealed her as ‘Zhaoyi’, and when she gave birth to a princess, she was promoted as ‘Shufei’. After so many years, he doesn’t know whether she had a problem with her uterus or her imperial mother was too powerful, she never gave birth to a prince. Otherwise, he will have one more strong enemy.

The Meng family has become more and more powerful in the capital in recent years. No one among these people can compare with their popularity. His imperial mother often warns him that if he wants to succeed, he must draw the Meng Family to his side. As long as he gets the support of Meng Zhangxiong, and recommended him to his imperial father, what else does he need to worry about in the future?

The smile on Prince Xiao widens even more. He slightly raised the wine glass he was holding and said: “Meng Gongzi is too polite!” After saying that, he also drank his wine. Everyone looked at Meng Nan with envy and hatred.

Since the feast in the banquet started, they also offered a toast to Prince Xiao, but Prince Xiao only took a sip. While Meng Nan, he only said a few words, and Prince Xiao, drank his wine in one fell swoop. They’re afraid that only Meng Nan can get such a treatment.

Meng Yuande became more and more proud of himself inside his heart. His son didn’t let him down, he was more sensible than before.

When the banquet finished, other people were drunk, but Meng Nan was still sober. He didn’t drink too much.

He hasn’t figured out things about Hu Feng. If he gets drunk and said things he shouldn’t have, the consequences might be unimaginable.

On their way back home, Meng Yuande was leaning his back on the carriage with closed eyes. He was very happy today so he drank a few more glasses. And at this moment, he was dizzy, he felt like he was floating, and he felt so uncomfortable.

Meng Nan knew that his father hadn’t fallen asleep. He tried to endure, but in the end, he couldn’t: “Father, since the emperor sealed Consort Chu as the new empress, why he haven’t sealed Prince Xiao as the crown prince?”

Meng Yuande slightly opened his closed eyes. The carriage was dim, couple with his drunkenness and dizziness, no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t see his son’s face.

“Why are you asking this?” Meng Yuande asked.
