Chapter 799: Meeting His Royal Highness
Zhao Biao stood up with a smile, holding the wine bowl and said to everyone,
"Well, I'm the weakest in the entire army and have the least merit, so I'll punish myself by having two bowls."
Zhang Yide slammed the table and said,
"Old Zhao, you're here to eat and drink for free. Everyone else has one bowl, why do you have two?"
"Shut up. You'll find a reason to drink a bowl later."
"Makes sense."
Zhang Yide looked at everyone and said,
"I, Old Zhang, am weaker and have made the least contribution. I am just a small vanguard officer. I have the audacity to sit at the same table with you. I will punish myself by giving you three bowls of wine."
As he spoke, Zhang Yide gulped down three bowls.
Seeing that he wanted to drink more, Guan Shouchang stopped him and said,
"The banquet hasn't even started yet, and you're going to get drunk first? When His Majesty arrives later, are you going to be rude again?
The prince hasn't even seen the prince yet, and the stewed meat hasn't even been eaten yet, and you're already getting drunk?"
"Hey, let's drink three bowls first to satisfy our craving. This southern drink is as bland as water. I, Old Zhang, won't get drunk no matter how much I drink."
Shen Changgong smiled heartily and said,
"At the banquet, after His Majesty arrives, you can drink as much as you want. I will not stop you today."
"Good good."
"I've finished introducing the Western Army, now let's introduce the Eastern Army."
"This is the undisputed wisest and most famous commander of the Eastern Army, Yu Huatian.
He is also the most handsome man among our Dayan military commanders."
Shen Changgong looked at Yu Huatian and smiled.
Yu Huatian's pretty face flushed slightly. Wearing court robes, he didn't look like a general or an official at all. Instead, he looked like a handsome young man who had just inherited his father's title.
"Yu greets all the commanders."
He also picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, his face flushed a little.
Guan Shouchang laughed and said,
"Brother, you still have that habit of blushing when you drink, like a little girl."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Yu Huatian's face turned even redder, and he sat down with dignity and kept silent, without any of the domineering attitude of someone who could command the mountains and rivers in the army.
Shen Changgong then introduced,
"This is Nie Bei, the commander of the Flying Eagle Army. He was the famous commander who forced us to take a detour back then."
"This is Zhang Han, the world-renowned commander of the Zhennan Army."
"These two are Li Bohan, the commander of the Pingnan Army, and Jiang Shun, the commander of the Zhengnan Army. They are both excellent and powerful commanders, invincible."
The Southern King snorted coldly.
"Are you blushing when you say this? I'm ashamed for you."
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Isn't it because your halo as the Southern King is too great, overshadowing their brilliance?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone laughed.
"This, Liang Kai, was originally the deputy commander of the Tianyu Army, and is now the commander of the Shenfeng Army."
"This is Gong Yang Ge, the commander-in-chief of the Zhi Ge Army, and a renowned general throughout the world."
"It's a pity that the navy commander Pang Lei has gone after Emperor Chu, otherwise we could sit here and drink together."
"This is the deputy commander of the Yuying Army, Yang Hongying. We are old acquaintances."
After Shen Changgong finished his introduction, a female voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I've already introduced the deputy commander of the Yuying Army, so why not introduce the commander?"
Everyone looked and saw Yu Ziling walking towards them from behind the flowers behind Shen Changgong, holding a swaddling baby.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Everyone stood up and saluted.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"Please sit down. He won't see you bowing."
Then he stood up, took his son from Yu Ziling's arms, and pulled her to sit next to him.
"Why are you here? You're in confinement. It's cold and windy outside. Be careful not to catch a cold."
"It's so hot today, how can it be cool? The doctor said I need to move around more and not lie down for too long."
"Okay, someone, bring the tea!"
She definitely can't drink alcohol, so she can only drink tea instead.
Then, Shen Changgong held his baby son in his arms with his eyes wide open and curious, and said to everyone,
"I must solemnly introduce these two to you."
"The man next to me, Yu Ziling, the commander-in-chief of the Dayan Yuying Army, is both a wise and a fierce general, and can be said to be both civil and military.
At the same time, she is also my wife and the mother of my children."
No one on the Western Army side had ever seen Yu Ziling before. After Shen Changgong's introduction, everyone came forward and saluted.
Yu Ziling also greeted with a smile.
Then, Shen Changgong introduced,
"The one in my arms, Shen Yichen, is the prince of Lanling of Great Yan and my eldest son. Don't underestimate him because he is so young. When he grows up, he will be a fierce general."
"Hahahaha!"
Shen Changgong looked at the baby in his arms, gently tapped his little nose, and asked,
"Will you be a fierce general when you grow up? Will your father and mother teach you all the martial arts?"
“Hehe…hehe…”
The young master chuckled, not knowing whether he understood or not.
Zhang Yide stood up and said,
"Your Majesty, let me hold the little prince. I, Old Zhang, like children."
Guan Shouchang snorted coldly,
"It's okay if you like eating children, but with your clumsy hands and feet, why are you holding him? Can you bear the consequences of hurting His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"so what?"
"So I should be the one holding it."
Guan Shouchang stood up with a smile, took the young master from Shen Changgong's arms, and coaxed him with a smile.
A group of grown men were scrambling to hold the baby, making the situation chaotic.
The yard was filled with laughter.
Soon, the generals of each legion arrived.
More than a dozen legions and more than a hundred generals from Dayan arrived one after another. After paying their respects to Shen Changgong, they all went to see the young master.
Poor Prince, at such a young age he had to fight his way out of a siege of powerful generals.
Finally, with a loud cry, everyone hurriedly and frantically sent him back to Yu Ziling's arms.
"Well, I guess I'm hungry."
Yu Ziling left with the Crown Prince in her arms, and came back a quarter of an hour later.
He came with Yan Fuyao, Tang Xinyi and others.
When the generals saw Yan Fuyao, they immediately stood up and saluted to pay their respects to His Majesty.
Yan Fuyao held her stomach, grabbed Shen Changgong's ear, asked him to stand up, sat in Shen Changgong's seat, and said with a smile,
"Everyone, please sit down."
"As ordered!"
Everyone took their seats.
Unlike the relaxed atmosphere when Yu Ziling was around, everyone felt a little restrained when the empress was here.
The Empress smiled and said,
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I came here today to attend the celebration banquet with you.
Today, let’s not go home until we are drunk, so let’s relax.
I am drinking with all the generals today."
As she spoke, the empress picked up the wine bowl in front of her and was about to ask someone to pour some wine, but Shen Changgong snatched it away and replaced it with a teacup and placed it in front of her.
Yan Fuyao turned around and squinted his eyes at him, his imperial dominance clearly revealed.
"What are you looking at? You're pregnant. Who told you to drink?"
"Are you still controlling me?"
Everyone hurriedly advised His Majesty not to drink and not to joke about the child in his belly, as he was the crown prince and the foundation of the country.
