Chapter 721 - 721 Drinking

721 Drinking

“Lord Ning Caichen, I am the envoy of the Qiqihar Kingdom, Lord Qiqihar. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

Prince Qiqihar gave Jiang Ming the highest courtesy.

This shocked everyone present.

The Qiqihar Kingdom had a certain requirement for giving people the highest courtesy, and the highest courtesy was only given to people they admired.

Even if it was the royal family of other countries, they would not show the highest courtesy.

Jiang Ming did not mind. He just raised his hand in a simple reply to Prince Qiqihar’s greeting.

“Lord Qiqihar, you’re too polite.”

King Liang introduced the others. Prince Qiqihar only showed them basic courtesy.

Then, the banquet started. Prince Qiqihar and Jiang Ming did not say much.

After the banquet ended, the sky was already dark. Jiang Ming and the others were staying in the palace under the arrangements of King Liang.

Prince Qiqihar was also staying in the palace.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Ming could not fall asleep no matter what. He felt that something was calling him in his heart.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a fluorescent butterfly. The butterfly deliberately led Jiang Ming out.

Jiang Ming seemed to understand something and followed the butterfly out.

He knew that someone wanted to see him, so he did not mind going to take a look.

“Hey, Ning Caichen, come drink with me. You don’t mind if I don’t give you a toast, do you?”

On the roof, Prince Qiqihar went back to being casual. He was holding a wine bottle and shaking it at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming was confused about who was disturbing his sleep. Now that he saw Prince Qiqihar, he instantly understood everything.

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

Prince Qiqihar was quite friendly, and he liked this personality very much!

At the thought of this, Jiang Ming directly leaped up and walked on the roof. He walked to Prince Qiqihar and sat down in front of him.

Seeing that Jiang Ming had already sat down, Prince Qiqihar took out a small glass and opened another bottle of wine before handing it to Jiang Ming.

“You can pour it into a glass or drink it straight from the bottle. It’s up to you.”

Prince Qiqihar was quite considerate as he looked at Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming took the glass, put it down, and turned to drink from the bottle. “I’m not a person who pays attention to etiquette.”

Upon hearing Jiang Ming’s words, Prince Qiqihar’s eyes lit up. He picked up the wine bottle and clinked it against Jiang Ming’s.

“How courageous. As expected of the person I chose. It was right of me to ask you to drink! Let’s get drunk tonight!”

“You should drink less. Do you have something on your mind today? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll complain later?”

Jiang Ming was confused and voiced his thoughts.

This was the second time he had interacted with Prince Qiqihar, yet Prince Qiqihar did not treat him as an outsider. Wasn’t this too strange?

“Will you actually do that? Ning Caichen, this is not like you.”

Prince Qiqihar continued to drink his wine and shrugged his shoulders.

Ever since he saw Ning Caichen at the banquet, he had been thinking about him.

Ning Caichen was like a special attraction that made him want to get close to him.

He was a little stumped about his attitude toward Ning Caichen, but he still chose to listen to his heart.

At the thought of this, Prince Qiqihar put down his thoughts and continued to drink with Jiang Ming.

“Why do you feel that I won’t? You’re too trusting.”

Jiang Ming drank two or three mouthfuls in a row and spoke with a faint smile on his lips. He could not understand.

Had he seen Prince Qiqihar before?

It should not be, right? He did not remember meeting Prince Qiqihar before.

Jiang Ming looked at Prince Qiqihar and continued, “If you have anything to say, just tell me. Tomorrow, we’ll forget about all these things and pretend that this never happened.”

Seeing that Jiang Ming was so free and easy, Prince Qiqihar could not help but feel happy. He picked up the bottle and clinked it against Jiang Ming’s bottle. He said very freely, “In that case, let’s make a deal. If anyone tells anyone, they will be punished severely!”

“No problem!”

Jiang Ming clinked his wine bottle with Prince Qiqihar’s again.

This time, the two of them had a tacit understanding and started drinking together.

“Ning Caichen, do you have anyone you love?”

After drinking for a while, Prince Qiqihar suddenly felt a little depressed as he spoke. His eyes were filled with sadness, and it was obvious that he was hurt by love.

Seeing Prince Qiqihar’s reaction, Jiang Ming suddenly understood something and told him, “Don’t be trapped by love. Some things will only work out when they come to an end.”

“Although you say that, Ning Caichen, when you see the person you like, you really can’t help but want to hold her. I even care about everything about her, and I keep paying attention to everything around her as well.”

Prince Qiqihar’s voice became even sadder.

“You didn’t come to the Daliang Kingdom because Xinyue’s person is here, right?”

Jiang Ming suddenly realized something and could not help but ask curiously.

He suddenly felt that Prince Qiqihar might not be a simple envoy of the Qiqihar Kingdom. Perhaps he had another identity.

He had a vague feeling that Prince Qiqihar’s status was not low. It was very likely that he was a member of the royal family of the Qiqihar Kingdom.

He still did not know that Lord Qiqihar was actually Prince Qiqihar.

“Yeah, how did you know? Ning Caichen, are you that smart?”

Upon hearing this, Prince Qiqihar became wary and had a strange look on his face.

He had never told anyone the reason why he had come to the Daliang Kingdom. How did Ning Caichen know?

Seeing Prince Qiqihar’s attitude, Jiang Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, “I’m just making a wild guess. After all, your words are obvious. I think other people should be able to figure it out, right?”

Jiang Ming’s words made sense. Prince Qiqihar could not help but fall silent. No one knew what he was thinking.

When he saw that Prince Qiqihar was silent, Jiang Ming did not continue to ask. He also fell silent.

If his enemy did not move, he would not move.

In less than fifteen minutes, Prince Qiqihar suddenly said, “I can’t really understand the person I like. She seems to have done a lot of bad things. I don’t know if I should continue to interact with her. Personally, I think that liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean being together. If she did something bad, then I don’t want to have anything to do with such a person.”
