Chapter 227 Face to Face
Xiahou Chun'an looked at the drunk and out-of-control ministers below with a stern face, raised his hand and slammed the table.
The sounds of chattering stopped instantly. Nan Jinming looked at Chu Xiaoran who was protecting him behind him. For some reason, at that moment, he felt that he could also find someone to rely on.
"Drag it!"
Xiahou Chunan issued an order again, and the guards nearby rushed up and dragged the drunk and out-of-control minister away.
Chu Xiaoran had a dark face and stood there without moving, but he protected Nan Jinming behind him.
Nan Jinming was wearing men's clothes, so people around him naturally didn't think much about it. They just thought that Chu Xiaoran was a rare person because he was so nice to his servant.
"Xiao Ran, did that person scare you just now?"
Xiahou Chunan returned to his usual gentle appearance and looked at Chu Xiaoran below.
Chu Xiaoran had a cold face and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I originally thought that our country is a country of poetry, books and etiquette, and these ministers should also understand etiquette, but who knew that the one just now lost her composure after drinking? Today is the birthday banquet of His Majesty Feng Jun. I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with her?"
Xiahou Chunan's eyebrows were curved, with a hint of intimidation in his eyes, as he looked at Chu Xiaoran who was standing with his back straight in front of him.
It's just a play with a servant, and I didn't succeed, so why bother about it?
But Xiahou Chunan thought so in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
Shangguan Yilin, who was sitting next to him, raised his chin and said provocatively, "Your Highness, although the minister just now lost his composure after drinking, he did not do anything indecent. It is better not to be so petty. Why don't you sit down and continue drinking and talking happily?"
Chu Xiaoran clenched his fingers into fists in his sleeves. He was the only man at the banquet. The others were ministers, including a few with wretched looks who often cast appraising glances at him.
"Your Highness Feng Jun does have some truth in what he said. Today is your birthday, so I naturally dare not say much. But if I had not stepped forward to stop that lady just now, she would have certainly made a move against my attendants. How can such a person who does not know the rules of etiquette be of any help to Your Majesty if she stayed in the court?"
Chu Xiaoran's words were aggressive. The other people sitting in the seats, whether they were drunk or not, were already mostly sober.
It can only be said that Chu Xiaoran has the aura of his father very much, and Xiahou Chunan was a little dazed at that moment.
Nan Jinming stood behind Chu Xiaoran, stretched out his finger, and gently pulled his sleeve.
"Xiao Ran, we can't cause trouble now. We are still young and fledgling."
Chu Xiaoran did not respond, and naturally did not take back what he was about to say.
"Your Majesty, today's incident will only be a fuse. If you let that gentleman off so easily, how will you govern your subjects and the country in the future?"
"Chu Xiaoran! What nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty has his own reasons. I invited you here today to have a feast, not to seek existence."
When Shangguan Yilin turned around, he saw that Xiahou Chunan had put away the smile on his face, and his whole body became somewhat gloomy and scary.
Nan Jinming curled the corners of his mouth slightly, as if unintentionally, and turned his head to look to the side, just in time to meet the eyes of Shi Yinsheng who was sitting next to him and drinking calmly.
Shi Yinsheng raised his hand and made a toasting gesture, then gave Nan Jinming an inexplicable smile.
Nan Jinming couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, then put his focus back on Chu Xiaoran and the emperor in front of him.
Chu Xiaoran looked at Xiahou Chunan in front of him. Xiahou Chunan's gloomy eyes fell on him, as if he wanted to see through him.
