285: Getting Along Differently (2)
Such fine wine, once it came into existence, would be snapped up in an instant. Whether it was the Imperial Court or the Martial World, both would need to take great care in handling it.
If there was a prince in residence, Imperial Court officials wouldn’t dare to blatantly demand it and could only use silver to make a purchase. The people of the Martial World might not fear the Imperial Court, but they held great respect for a prince who protected the nation and would also exercise caution.
What was two hundred jars of wine a year anyway?
“Your Highness!”
Li Hengyi reached out and pulled Lian Sheng up, “It’s good for a man to know when to be humble and when to stand tall, but also remember, a man’s knees are worth gold. You’ve done no wrong, so why kneel again and again!”
“Yes!”
Lian Sheng responded promptly.
“Your Highness, my humble home is not far from here. If Your Highness does not mind, would you grace us with your presence? My mother also wishes to meet Your Highness!”
“…”
Li Hengyi did not understand.
“Your Highness must be too occupied with important matters to remember!” Lian Sheng chuckled lightly.
All in all, he was very sincere in wanting to invite Li Hengyi to his home for a visit.
Li Hengyi also wanted to make use of Lian Sheng and had no reason to refuse.
“Bring along a jar of wine!”
Lian Sheng chuckled, “That’s on me. Don’t bother on Your Highness’s part!”

He personally walked to the innermost part and cautiously carried out a small jar.Lian Huai was so anxious his eyes turned red.
“Lian Sheng…”
This wine was truly a treasured legacy left by our ancestors, and there were not many jars left.
Lian Huai exclaimed in shock, looking at Lian Sheng with eyes that almost devoured him.
“You will never understand, never know what we went through after you abandoned your wife and child. That’s why you won’t understand why I must take this jar of wine to ask His Highness for a tasting. Furthermore, our grandfather said on his deathbed that the Lian Family inheritance was mine. In the Lian Family, you have no right to boss around anymore. If you don’t believe me, you can go ask grandmother!”
After finishing his speech, Lian Sheng, holding the jar of wine, respectfully invited Li Hengyi, “Your Highness, please!”
“Hmm!”
Li Hengyi left Yuanbao behind.
Yuanbao had sharp eyes, and he also had the opportunity to discern the authenticity, from the jar to the seal, there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Lian Huai was stunned in place.
Watching Li Hengyi leave, so did Lian Sheng.
He felt at a loss whether to stay or to go.
If he went, weren’t the wines in the cellar at Yuanbao’s mercy to take? And if he didn’t leave…
Li Hengyi and Lian Sheng had already left the cellar.
Xie Zhinuan came holding Xie Yi, looking inside, “It smells so good!”
Li Hengyi looked at Xie Yi, hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take him, holding him in his arms.
“Lian Sir has invited us to taste fine wines and spirits. You should prepare a few dishes later!”
“Sure thing!” Xie Zhinuan squinted with a smile and then called into the cellar, “Yuanbao, you should come over earlier, too!”
“Alright, Miss Xie, you prepare a few good dishes. Don’t forget the spicy fish and steamed pork with rice flour!” Yuanbao responded joyfully.
Xie Zhinuan agreed several times over.
She took a deep breath through her nose.
Seldom did she, like a teenage girl, show a craving for the jar of wine in Lian Sheng’s arms.
Li Hengyi started to smile.
“This wine is too rich and has been aged for many years; you can’t be greedy with it!”
“I know, I know!” Xie Zhinuan chuckled softly.
In her mind, she was already planning which dishes to cook, what flavors to use, and how to go about getting the ingredients. In short, Xie Zhinuan’s mind was filled with delicious dishes to accompany the wine.
If there was fine wine, there must also be fine food to match.
Lian Sheng had not expected that Li Hengyi would hold a child, and that child did not seem to be his. While Xie Zhinuan was the most beautiful, her hairstyle resembled that of an unmarried girl. The two were comfortable to look at together, yet they did not appear to be a couple.
