The Qin Dynasty entered the game with love.

As dusk deepened, Han Fei had been waiting at the door for a long time. He saw Ying Ji wearing a strange red and black dress, with stiff shoulders and a pattern of bright red flowers on her chest, as well as patterns on her cuffs. Han Fei said he had never seen anything like it before.

The waistband is wide and exquisite, with various colored lines interwoven in a very delicate pattern. It can be said that the robe reaches the calves. Paired with a pair of Martin boots, it looks incredibly cool.

Yuan Ge had never seen this outfit before and assumed it was made by the princess. Tuanzi, standing to the side, was crying and huddled together.

[You stinky host, you used someone else's savings to buy clothes on loan, you know that?! You have to pay it back, you know?! I want double!! Waaaaah, my precious money!]

Ying Ji ignored the irritable Tuanzi. In today's world, the one who owes money is the boss. After getting something for free, she felt refreshed.

Han Fei stopped Yuan Ge, who was following him: "Miss Li, I am truly sorry that this banquet is only attended by scholars and nobles. I will take good care of the Princess."

Ying Ji nodded, and Yuan Ge obediently withdrew.

Han Fei glanced at the chill behind him, and sure enough, Bai Changchuan maintained his murderous gaze.

He smirked defiantly and deliberately leaned towards Ying Ji, only to be pushed away by the woman without any politeness.

Bai Changchuan's expression improved considerably at first, but when he saw that scoundrel helping Ying Ji into the carriage, his face darkened again.

Upon arriving at the banquet, most people were already seated.

Upon seeing Han Fei arrive, many people stood up to welcome him.

Han Fei stepped back and pushed Ying Ji in front of everyone to introduce her: "Princess Ying Ji of Qin has come to attend the banquet. Han Fei is merely accompanying her."

Everyone bowed in turn.

"Princess, you have been in Qi for many days. Why are you only now coming to the banquet?"

Ying Ji smiled and said, "We are collecting information on various famous scholars. The Jixia Academy has many talented people. Qin wants to build a Grand Academy, which will not consider background, but only talent and ability to serve as a teacher."

A scholar in plain clothes stepped forward and asked, "Is the princess planning to gather talented people from all over the world to Qin?"

Ying Ji looked at the man and said, "No, I am here to be the teacher of the world. Therefore, I dare not pay my respects to anyone who is not of high moral character and possesses both virtue and talent. I can only try to get to know him myself first."

He wouldn't have believed the commoner bowing deeply, but for Princess Yingji to treat a commoner as a guest minister was already breaking some conventions.

The scholar in blue robes, seeing that the family was not poor, and because he admired law, he had intended to befriend Han Fei. Upon meeting Ying Ji, he felt that his knowledge was far superior to Han Fei's, and that he could persuade Ying Ji to personally request an audience.

So he assumed a certain posture and waited to be questioned.

But Ying Ji simply took the armrest and ignored it, then went straight into the banquet. Tian Jia (the younger brother of King Jian of Qi) invited the two of them to the head of the table.

Tian Jia raised his wine cup and asked, "It is a pity that we have not been able to meet the Princess since she has been in Qi for many days."

Ying Ji picked up the wine cup, took a small sip, and found the wine to be weak and sour, making it unpalatable. She casually put it aside and said, "I am new to your place and am not used to the climate. I will need to rest for a few days. Please forgive me."

Seeing that Ying Ji seemed unable to eat, Tian Jia asked, "The Qin princess has come to Qi; it is my fault for not entertaining her properly. This wine is far too strong."

Ying Ji commented: "It's as bland as water, tasteless and bland."

Tian Jia's smiling face stiffened slightly: "Qi's wine, if not the best among the seven states, is still among the top three, but now it can't compare to Qin's wine."

Ying Ji glanced sideways and pretended to take out a bottle of osmanthus wine from behind her. As soon as the cork was opened, the strong and sweet fragrance of osmanthus filled the entire house.

Han Fei's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to pour wine. Ying Ji raised her wine cup: "Brother Tian, ​​why not have a taste?"

Just by smelling it, Tian Jia knew that even the national wine of Qi could not compare to it.

Her face flushed, the aroma tantalizing her taste buds, and she didn't know whether she should drink it or not.

Seeing no movement, Ying Ji tilted her head back and drank the wine. After one cup, the fragrance lingered in her mouth. The osmanthus wine was not very strong, but compared to the wines of today, it could be said to be highly concentrated.

After filling a cup, Han Fei quickly poured one for himself to taste.

Inside the room, the scholars discussed in private where the fragrance came from. Seeing the wine pot on Han Fei's table and the osmanthus scent emanating from him, several wine connoisseurs gathered around.

"Brother Han, this wine is something we've never heard of before. Its aroma is wonderfully fragrant. Would you mind sharing a cup?"

"I've never heard of it before. How about I shamelessly try it?"

Seeing that more and more people were crowding around him asking for wine, Han Fei downed his cup in one gulp: "Every sip of osmanthus wine is rich in flavor, sweet and mellow with a subtle fragrance of osmanthus, truly intoxicating."

This remark drew an ever-growing crowd, but Han Fei deliberately avoided getting to the point.

It's infuriating to watch.

Just when he was about to be dragged out and beaten up, Han Fei quickly pulled Ying Ji out as a shield: "I wouldn't dare, this wine was brought by the Princess, and Han Fei wouldn't dare to give it away so casually."

As expected, the others were somewhat disappointed, but dared not say so.

Gongsun Liang (of the Yin-Yang School) stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am Gongsun Liang. I wonder where I can buy some of this wine?"

Ying Ji shook her head: "It was just something made casually by a family member, nothing special. Since everyone likes it, this Double Ninth Festival banquet is missing a lucky charm. How about I give this wine to the best person?"

Gongsun Liang bowed and said, "This plan is excellent. Why don't we let the Princess decide on the topic?"

Ying Ji tilted her head and pondered: "If we're going to make friends over wine, why not use osmanthus wine as the theme?"

Han Fei chimed in, "How about we have a contest under the moon? The interior of the house is a bit too cramped. Appreciating chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival is the most wonderful thing to do."

Gongsun Liang was the first to agree: "Excellent! Appreciating chrysanthemums under the moon, with all the talented people gathered together, and adding a fine wine would be a perfect match. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, got up and headed for the door. Han Fei had reserved a seat for Ying Ji in advance, which was located slightly to the left of center. Not only did it offer a wide view, but it also allowed her to see every student who spoke.

Ying Ji turned to the side: "Han Fei, your idea is not bad."

Han Fei winked deliberately: "How about Your Highness grants me a pot of wine?"

Ying Ji nodded: "It's just a pot of wine. If you like it, I'll have Yuan Ge send you a portion later."

Han Fei suddenly leaned close to the woman's ear, his breath hot and carrying the scent of osmanthus. The man's cheeks flushed slightly, and he said in an embarrassed tone, "Your Highness, your osmanthus wine is sweet at first, but the aftertaste is really strong. I'm a little drunk and may have to leave the table for a while to recover before I can introduce you to talented people."

Ying Ji casually pushed him away: "Go, and come back as soon as possible."

Han Fei nodded and left his seat.

"Tsk, I didn't expect this kid to be such a lightweight. His face turned red after just one glass of wine."

Ying Ji took advantage of the feints to smuggle pastries and milk tea from the system space and ate them with great relish.

Listening to the poems and songs of famous scholars from time to time is quite interesting.
