Actually, not many people paid attention to these performances. Most were talking and toasting each other. Of course, if something spectacular appeared, it would still attract everyone's attention, but only those truly brilliant performances, and these couldn't appear too frequently.
"Ha, good wine! This wine is so much better than those wines on the frontier!! But the best wine is still... Hey, how stupid am I? The person is right in front of me, and I'm not getting some wine to drink!" While the Young Miss was drinking heartily, she suddenly remembered that unforgettable wine she couldn't forget - wine brewed by Xiaoyao. And Xiaoyao was right here now. She felt she shouldn't pass up this opportunity.
So the Young Miss stood up and walked toward Xiaoyao, carrying an empty wine bottle. Those who didn't know might think she was going to offer a toast, to toast the emperor.
Ning Zhiyuan also thought the Young Miss was coming to toast him and had already prepared his wine cup to receive the toast. But the Young Miss indeed walked toward Xiaoyao and came before him.
"Young Miss? Do you want to have a drinking contest with me? I don't want to waste wine on that, so no." Xiaoyao looked at the Young Miss, whose face was slightly flushed from drinking. She looked somewhat attractive like that, but this had no appeal for Xiaoyao. He felt the most likely possibility was that the Young Miss had come to challenge him to a drinking contest.
Sometimes when the Young Miss couldn't find anyone to drink with, she would look for Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao generally wouldn't pay attention and would let her drink alone. But there were a few times when Xiaoyao had a little interest and would accompany the Young Miss in drinking.
It was then that the Young Miss learned that Xiaoyao didn't drink much normally, but when he did drink, even she couldn't match him. "Never drunk after a thousand cups" was even underestimating him.
Because of this, Xiaoyao felt drinking contests were a waste of wine. He didn't have the Young Miss's addiction to alcohol.
...
"I don't want to compete with you either, you're just a freak. I came to ask you for wine, whether it's newly brewed or from before. Give me a jar to satisfy my craving," the Young Miss said very directly.
At this moment, many people were paying attention to the Young Miss's behavior, including Ning Zhiyuan. When the Young Miss said this, everyone understood one thing, the Young Miss wanted wine brewed by Xiaoyao.
From the Young Miss's behavior, it seemed that Xiaoyao's brewed wine was better than what they were currently drinking. Otherwise, why would she go ask for it?
But was this possible?
This was the best wine on the continent. Even Ning Zhiyuan could only drink it on special occasions like this, showing how rare this wine was.
Now the Young Miss was telling everyone that this wine wasn't the best, that Xiaoyao's brew was even better. How could people dare believe this.
Because of this information, people overlooked another piece of information, that Xiaoyao's alcohol tolerance was much stronger than the Young Miss's. Otherwise, she wouldn't call him a freak.
Perhaps it was also because people didn't yet know the Young Miss's alcohol capacity, so they didn't think much of it.
"One pot!" Xiaoyao replied directly.
"Fine, one pot it is!" The Young Miss gritted her teeth and said very reluctantly. She knew that if she didn't take this one pot and tried to haggle, she wouldn't even get this pot.
"Chirp..."
Xiaoyao made a soft whistling sound. This sound seemed to be heard only by nearby people, but he wasn't making it for those nearby, rather for a little glutton very far from here.
Soon, the little glutton came running over, appearing from who knows where, leaping into Xiaoyao's arms and chittering non-stop. It was very excited!
Chi Chi's excitement wasn't because Xiaoyao summoned it, but because it could eat delicious things here. Xiaoyao had previously forbidden it from coming near this area, fearing it would eat everything here.
But now that people had officially started the banquet, it didn't matter. Let it eat!
After Chi Chi acted cute for a while, it went to the table, opened its big mouth wide, and "spat out" a wine pot, then began eating things on the table.
Again like this, spitting out a pot of wine from its mouth. What exactly was Chi Chi's structure? How could its body hide things!
This thought flashed through the Young Miss's mind, but then she didn't think about it further because she had something more important to do - drink wine!!
The Young Miss grabbed that wine pot, opened it, and that enticing aroma immediately emanated from within!
"Mmm..." The Young Miss took several deep breaths, as if wanting to inhale this fragrance without wasting a bit. Only then did she speak: "This is it! So nostalgic!!"
"What fragrant wine!" Ning Zhiyuan also smelled it at this moment. After all, his position wasn't very far from Xiaoyao's, and his nose was quite sensitive, so naturally he caught the scent.
"First, have a sip! Drink it slowly..." The Young Miss took Xiaoyao's cup and carefully poured the wine in, afraid of spilling a drop. Then she smelled the cup and slowly took a sip.
"Ah... So refreshing!!"
"Colonel Mo Yu, I wonder if you could spare me a cup of this wine!" A voice came over, and this situation surprised many people because they all knew who the owner of this voice was.
That he would actually ask for wine to drink, this was too amazing!
"No way! He only gave me one pot, once I finish drinking it, there's no more!!" The Young Miss didn't even think before directly refusing.
"..."
Damn, you actually refused him! For a cup of wine, you're too bold!!
"Mo Yu... His Majesty only wants one cup. Don't be so stingy, you should learn to share!" At this moment, Nangong Suxin walked over. She was helpless with the Young Miss. She wanted to pull her back, otherwise who knew what would happen if she stayed up there.
"No! Even if it's His Majesty, don't think about taking my wine. No one in this world can!!" With one sentence, the Young Miss made people understand her obsession with this wine, and also shocked a group of people. This young lady was too bold, for a pot of wine, she didn't even put the emperor in her eyes.
Was this pot of wine really worth her doing this?
"Little servant, say something!" Nangong Suxin could only ask Xiaoyao for help. She believed that the only person who could persuade the Young Miss was Xiaoyao.
"What? This wine belongs to the Young Miss. In drinking occasions, there are no distinctions, regardless of status, everyone is the same!" Xiaoyao said indifferently.
"But..." Nangong Suxin was somewhat worried.
"It's fine. His Majesty isn't a petty person!" Xiaoyao said unconcernedly.
"But it's just one cup of wine! You're both being too stingy!" Nangong Suxin said.
"That makes sense too. Young Miss, give His Majesty a cup of wine!" Xiaoyao thought about it and felt this reasoning was correct. Sharing a cup of wine was a very normal thing.
"But I only have one pot, and you won't give me more..." the Young Miss looked like she was treasuring something precious, very reluctant.
"You'll have more in the future. Don't be so stingy. Be good, or you won't have any in the future!" Xiaoyao said.
"Ah, then fine. Your Majesty, give me a small cup..." the Young Miss said painfully. Her purpose in asking for a small cup was obvious, to give less. This situation made Ning Zhiyuan feel very helpless.
What kind of servant, what kind of young miss!!
However, Ning Zhiyuan just smiled at this and had someone bring over a cup, yes, a relatively small cup. Then the Young Miss poured a cup that wasn't very full.
"..."
Ning Zhiyuan helplessly picked up that small cup, then smelled it, indeed the aroma was compelling. Then he tasted it in small sips. He could only take small sips, this small cup of wine couldn't be gulped down.
After Ning Zhiyuan tasted this wine, his eyes immediately lit up, as if he had discovered something that amazed him. This expression was saying that the wine he tasted gave him an unexpected feeling.
"Good wine!!"
Indeed, wine that could make even Ning Zhiyuan say "good wine" must be extraordinary.
"Xiaoyao, did you brew this wine?" Ning Zhiyuan wouldn't ask the Young Miss anymore, because with her miserly appearance, he definitely couldn't get any more. Directly asking Xiaoyao, the wine brewer, was best.
"Yes, I brewed it!" Xiaoyao nodded.
"Is there any more?" Ning Zhiyuan asked, while also wondering in his heart how this kid knew how to do even this.
"Not much left. There's some in the Mo family wine cellar, but I can't get it." Xiaoyao replied.
"Then could you brew some for me? Also, give me a pot now..." Ning Zhiyuan said calmly. Experienced as he was, he covered up that bit of embarrassment.
"For brewing, it would need to age for a year or two before drinking. Getting a pot now isn't difficult! Chi Chi, go get another pot of wine." Xiaoyao threw Chi Chi, who was eating, out.
"Chi chi..." After Chi Chi called out a few times, it disappeared.
"Your little monster beast is quite good, it understands how to fetch things." Seeing this situation, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but be amazed. Chi Chi was really too special. Which other little monster beast was so understanding? Could this little monster beast already have developed intelligence?
"By the way, I just saw Chi Chi grew ears and a tail. What's that about?" The Young Miss only then remembered to ask about this.
"It's probably growing up. It's still in its growth period now." Xiaoyao said casually.
"That makes sense!" The Young Miss also believed this answer.
Then the Young Miss suddenly thought of an idea, "Your Majesty, could I sit together with Xiaoyao? I still have some things to discuss with him."
"That's fine. You can sit in his deputy seat, there was originally such a position anyway!" Ning Zhiyuan nodded, agreeing to the Young Miss's suggestion.
At this moment, those who heard Ning Zhiyuan's agreement were all surprised. Although there was indeed such a position, it wasn't something anyone could casually sit in. Allowing the Young Miss to sit up there showed that Ning Zhiyuan highly valued her and believed she would eventually have this qualification.
It seems we need to get closer to these Twin Female War Gods. Their future prospects will be limitless.
