Chapter 810 Brief Intention of Warmth (2)
Yan Junyu had somehow drawn closer, his eyes intently fixed on Mo Yan as he spoke to Xiao Ruiyuan. With his visage suffused by alcohol, he looked even more enticing and compelling, making the radiant lights of the hall seem dull in comparison. The sight caused the faces of the palace maids standing in the hall to blush and even the Little Eunuchs couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed.
Clearly, Yan Junyu had drunk too much, or else he wouldn’t have lost his composure so in his speech. His mind was clear; he knew there were things that shouldn’t be said, yet he couldn’t stop himself from speaking his mind right in front of Xiao Ruiyuan.
"Shut up!"
Xiao Ruiyuan’s face darkened in an instant, and with a stealthy force, he pushed Yan Junyu back to his seat. Had the occasion been different, he would have thrown him into the icy pool outside the hall to sober him up.
Fearless of death, Yan Junyu drew close again, his speech becoming increasingly outrageous, "Had I known this Yan girl would be such a sight today, I should have kept her by my side two years ago to serve as an Ink Maid. Alas, it’s too late, everything is too late."
Xiao Ruiyuan’s temples throbbed violently. Not wanting to argue with a drunkard, he delivered a chop to the back of Yan Junyu’s neck.
Caught off guard, Yan Junyu was struck squarely. His head turned, his eyes closed, and he slumped onto Xiao Ruiyuan’s shoulder.
Xiao Ruiyuan pushed him away with disdain, but he ultimately didn’t toss him to the ground, instead letting the Little Eunuchs support the man.
Yan Junyu had a well-proportioned figure; he didn’t look heavy, yet he was not light. The Little Eunuchs, standing behind him, struggled to hold him up. Before long, their bodies began to sway with the effort. Unfortunately, as the banquet had not yet ended, there was no way to help settle him elsewhere to rest for a while.
