At a long table next to the knight's cocktail party, there were a lot of delicacies that neither Su Cheng nor Alyssa had tasted before, so they ran to the long table next to the knight's cocktail party.
A new round of eating and drinking began.
As soon as he swallowed a delicious meat roll, Su Cheng seemed to have remembered something, turned his head and said to Alyssa:
"By the way, Alyssa, there is one thing that I have always been curious about and I have always wanted to ask you."
"Huh? What's going on?" Alyssa grabbed a wine glass filled with sweet wine in one hand and a big chicken drumstick in the other. She seemed to be eating very happily.
"What happened between you and His Highness Gale? It seems that you are very afraid of His Highness Gale, and His Highness Gale doesn't seem to like you very much. When His Highness Gale spoke to you just now, his tone
You’re so welcome.”
"Ah...this..."
Alyssa smiled bitterly, took a sip of the sweet wine in her hand, and then said:
"Didn't I tell you just now that I met Her Highness Ilsa by chance in the Baiyang Palace in March this year? Then whenever I have the opportunity, I will go to Her Highness Ilsa.
Play."
"As a result, in May, His Highness Gale discovered that I would always come to play with His Highness Ilsa from time to time."
"How harsh His Highness Gale is to His Highness Ilsa, Su Cheng, you should have experienced it to some extent just now, right?"
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Su Cheng nodded with deep understanding.
"His Royal Highness Gale has always been very strict with His Highness Ilsa. As early as when Her Highness Ilsa was 4 years old, he started asking Her Highness Ilsa to learn some things like court etiquette."
"His Royal Highness Gale, who is extremely strict with His Highness Ilsa, naturally hates seeing Her Highness Ilsa playing outside of rest time."
"At that time, His Highness Gale discovered that I would always come to play with His Highness Ilsa from time to time, and that Her Highness Ilsa would always skip studying to play with me. His Highness Gale went crazy..."
After saying that, Alyssa's face showed a hint of fear.
"Su Cheng, you were not there at the time, so you don't know how terrifying His Highness Gale was at that time. Normally, His Highness Gale exudes a very powerful oppressive force. When he is angry, the oppressive force on his body becomes even more terrifying...
…”
"At that time, Ilsa and I were both trained terribly. His Highness Gale's furious look shocked me and left a very deep psychological shadow on me. From then on, I have been very afraid
Your Highness Gale, every time you see His Highness Gale, you want to take a detour... And Your Highness Ilsa was also scolded by His Highness Gale and cried..."
Speaking of this, Alyssa's face showed a strong apology.
"Since then, His Highness Gale warned me not to come to Baiyang Palace to disturb Her Highness Ilsa's study... Sigh... Since then, I have never come to play with Her Highness Ilsa again.
…”
After listening to Alyssa's words, Su Cheng nodded seriously, and then said:
"So that's how it is..."
Su Cheng felt everything was straightened out now.
He finally understood why Alyssa ran to the back of the knights' queue with a look of fear on her face during the meeting hosted by His Highness Gale to discuss whether to launch a rescue operation for the Kingdom of Lund.
I also understood why there was a look of fear on Alyssa's face when Gale entered the venue with Gozevin just before the year-end dinner started.
I also understand why His Highness Gale warned Alyssa just now, asking her to continue to abide by her promise to him and not to come to Baiyang Palace to disturb Ilsa again.
Su Cheng had a look of helplessness on his face, shrugged, and then said:
"Your Highness Ilsa is really working too hard... She is only 6 years old, but she can't even play well with others."
"Yes..." Alyssa nodded, "This should be the sorrow of being born in the royal family. When His Highness Gale was young, he seemed to be the same as His Highness Ilsa. He just started to remember things, and he started to talk endlessly.
Learned and trained.”
"Whether they are ordinary farmers, noble royal families, or nobles, they all have their own tragedies and helplessness." After saying that, Su Cheng drank the wine in the glass in his hand, then showed a faint smile, and continued:
"Forget it, let's not discuss these heavy topics. Let's talk about some light topics."
"That's right. Let's change the topic."
Alyssa and Su Cheng drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp and then pointed in a certain direction.
"Su Cheng, I saw a dish over there that seemed delicious! Let's go try that dish!"
"Well, let's go. Ah, let's put the wine glass here first. It's inconvenient to hold a wine glass all the time. Let's come back and get the wine glass after we finish the dish."
"That's right."
Afterwards, Su Cheng and Alyssa placed the wine glasses in their hands on a long table next to them. Then they held the cutlery in their hands towards the long table where the dish was placed.
Go.
…
Su Cheng and Alyssa left not long ago...
"Hey! Haven't you brought the orchid yet? The guests attending the knight's drinking party are almost drinking all the orchid! Bring some more orchid!"
"Huh...huh...come on, come on!"
"Newcomer, you finally brought the orchid liquor... Hey! Why is this orchid liquor in a pure water bottle?!"
"Huh...huh...in the warehouse, the bottled orchid liquor is gone! But there is still a lot of orchid liquor in the wine pool! So we used empty pure water bottles to fill the orchid liquor in the wine pool.
come over!"
"Oh, forget it! Sooner or later, the guests at the knight's reception will all drink it up anyway! It doesn't matter what bottle you use to put it in! Go! You can use any bottle! Get more orchids!"
"Yes, yes! Is this where the orchid liquor in the purified water bottle should be placed?"
"Yes! Let's leave it here first! After more orchid wine is delivered, we will send it to the knight's reception together... Hey, why are there two wine glasses here? Did any guest leave it here? Forget it.
No more, ignore it."
"Master Steward! Please come with us to the warehouse to get the Orchid Bar! We currently have too few manpower!"
"Sigh... It's like this every year. There are not enough manpower to manage the year-end dinner every year... Okay, I will help you go to the warehouse to get the Orchid Bar!"
"Thank you, Mr. Steward!"
…
Just after the steward and the waiter left.
Su Cheng and Alyssa came back with the tableware.
"I think this dish tastes just average." Alyssa frowned.
"It's because we ate too many delicious things tonight." Su Cheng smiled helplessly, "The dish just now was also very delicious, but we ate too many tonight and it was as delicious as it or not.
There are more delicious dishes than it, so we think it doesn’t taste that good.”
"Hmm...it seems that is indeed the case."
After saying that, Alyssa touched her belly and said:
"It seems like we've been eating for several hours, right? We're so full that we can't eat anymore."
"Me too, I'm a little full too."
As Su Cheng spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was now 22:38 pm.
We started eating together with Alyssa at 19:30, and we have been eating for 3 hours now.
Although there are still many dishes that have not been tasted in the venue, Su Cheng and Alyssa no longer have any appetite to continue eating.
After Alyssa made a cute little burp, she said:
"I'm full. I'm full. I might as well go home now."
At the year-end dinner, you can choose to leave at any time.
If you like, you can even choose to leave 1 minute after the official start of the year-end dinner, and no one will stop you.
Of course, no one would do this.
"Go home..." Su Cheng murmured, "I can't eat anything anymore, and I've also said hello to the people I should say hello to. I might as well go back now."
At this moment, Alyssa suddenly said: "Ah, I seemed to have eaten a little salty just now. Let's drink something..."
Then, Alyssa walked to the long table where she and Su Cheng had just placed their two wine glasses, took back her and Su Cheng's wine glasses, and handed Su Cheng's wine glass back to Su Cheng while looking for it.
Drinks.
"Huh..." Alyssa sighed slightly, "Why is there no wine?"
"Alyssa, it's better not to drink." Su Cheng smiled bitterly, then pointed at Alyssa's pink face, "You have drunk enough wine tonight, you are already a little drunk now
Isn’t it? So you’d better drink some water now, there happens to be a bottle of pure water here.”
After eating that dish and returning here, Su Cheng discovered that there was an extra bottle of pure water next to the wine glasses where he and Alyssa were placed.
Su Cheng thought that the waiter might have put it there, so he didn't think much about it.
Like Alyssa, Su Cheng also felt that he had eaten a little salty and was thirsty, so he grabbed the bottle of pure water, unscrewed the cap, and poured a full glass into his wine glass.
.
Looking at the bottle of pure water in Su Cheng's hand, Alyssa curled her lips in dissatisfaction, then obediently stretched out her wine glass and said:
"Just drink water and fill it up for me."
"Okay, okay. I'll fill it up for you. It's just right to drink some water now. We both drank a lot tonight. Drinking some pure water is just right to relieve the hangover."
As Su Cheng spoke, he held the bottle of purified water and gave Alyssa a full glass of purified water.
After Su Cheng filled her wine glass with purified water, Alyssa handed the wine glass to her lips.
However, just when Alyssa's wine glass was about to touch her lips, she suddenly paused.
Alyssa twitched her little nose, then frowned, raised her eyes to look at the knight reception just a few steps away from him and Su Cheng, and then said to Su Cheng:
"Next time, I will apply to have the food and drinks tables at the Knights' Reception be further away from each other. The flavor of the brandy at the Knights Reception is really too strong!"
"When I was eating next to the knight's cocktail party, I noticed that everything I ate had the smell of orchid! And the smell was getting stronger and stronger! Now I can smell the strong smell even when I drink a glass of water.
The smell of orchid!”
"The smell of orchid from the knight's cocktail party is really strong! I really thought I was holding a glass of orchid instead of a glass of water!"
After listening to Alyssa's complaint, Su Cheng smiled helplessly, and then said:
"I have no choice but to endure it. I just discovered this problem. If there is a chance next year, let's appeal to the higher authorities together and let the knight's reception be held in a place away from food and drinks. Otherwise, this strong
The smell of orchid will make everything smell like orchid."
Alyssa snorted with her nose in displeasure, then picked up the wine glass containing pure water in her hand again and put it to her lips.
Su Cheng also picked up the wine glass in his hand almost at the same time.
The two of them poured the pure water from the wine glasses into their mouths at the same time.
“Puff!!”*2
