The Princess of Northern Land
Chapter 650: Unwilling (3)_1

Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Unwilling (3)_1

Trembling, she also picked up the small wine cup and slowly drank the wine inside.

"The weather outside is cold, and it’s my great joyous day today, maternal grandmother, it would be best if you could stay the night at the residence. The room has already been taken care of by my servants." There was an unusual warmth in Chu Suifeng’s eyes.

"I thank you, Prince." Even as an elder, given the occasion today, the old lady still had to thank him in her capacity as a subject.

Only when the old lady and Chu Suifeng truly began to eat were the atmosphere at the banquet truly enlivened.

Prince Chu and Prince Rui were determined to corner Chu Suifeng, but it’s a pity that civil and military officials from the Northern Land came forward almost unanimously, rushing to toast them first. They seemed to be scrambling to curry favor with them in their eagerness.

Unexpectedly, Luo Yan and Si Jinhan, who were clamoring to have wedding wine earlier, appeared to be ignored, with few people coming over to toast them.

"I am not fond of drinking." Even if he could drink a lot, it would be difficult to withstand so many people.

Before long, both Chu Suiyun and Prince Rui could not hold up against the onslaught of toasts.

What’s more horrifying is, in the open customs of the Northern Land, even before the men finished their wine, there were already numerous women holding wine cups waiting to come over to toast. If one didn’t know, they might assume that these two were the main characters in today’s grand wedding.

Si Jinhan and Luo Yan smiled lightly as they watched the two princes who were being warmly entertained, and then silently sat down to eat and drink.

Chu Suiyun and Prince Rui weren’t fools, they couldn’t be so easily drunk by others.

"I just arrived in the Northern Land, and I felt a little cold yesterday. Therefore, I shouldn’t drink too much wine." Prince Chu playfully declined everyone, his eagle-like eyes gleaming.

"I am not good at drinking and rarely drink. However, everyone’s good intentions..." Prince Rui was employing a people-friendly strategy.

"It seems that the two princes are dissatisfied with me?" Before he could finish his emotional speech, the groom not far away had already been angered. "Are you even unwilling to drink a cup of my wedding wine?"

Prince Chu and Prince Rui saw that he was going to go crazy again. Both were inwardly bitter. They had come to attend the ceremony, and they actually had something to ask of Chu Suifeng later on. Neither of them could, nor were they willing to, have a falling out with Chu Suifeng at this time.

"Little Seventh, how can you say that?" Prince Rui tried to lighten the situation, "It’s true that I don’t drink much, but I didn’t say I won’t drink the wedding wine."

"That’s more like it." Chu Suifeng looked somewhat satisfied, then turned around and sternly "reprimanded" his subordinates, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting. You just want to get me drunk and make me lose face in front of my wife."

All the military generals immediately broke into laughter.

As military officials, their manners were naturally more straightforward. Immediately, a military general voluntarily stepped forward and responded with a smile, "Prince, when I got married, you made me get so drunk that I fell under the table. Even now, whenever my wife is upset, she brings up this incident to needle me. You can’t be left out on your wedding day, Prince."

"Yes, yes, Prince. There is no distinction between big and small for three days when getting married. No matter what, you have to drink a few more cups today." Some people chimed in.

"What nonsense." Mei Hanqing shook his head repeatedly with a look of disdain.

Both Prince Chu and Prince Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Good, they didn’t have to drink now.

"Prince Chu and Prince Rui wouldn’t just stand by and watch me get drunk, would they?" Chu Suifeng casually turned his head and looked at the two of them with a faint smile. "I don’t believe the two of you hold any grudges against me."

With that said, he had monopolized both the compliments and the criticisms.

Today was clearly Chu Suifeng’s wedding day. Why would their refusal to drink become a sign of their dissatisfaction with him? Prince Chu and Prince Rui found Chu Suifeng absolutely baffling.
