urned their heads, only to realize that it was the eighth prince, Prince He.
At once, the voices in the hall died down to a fearful silence.

Prince He’s mother, Honored Consort Sun, was one of the Emperor’s favorites, hence he was always overbearing and reckless in his actions.

Apparently, he had taken a fancy to that envoy’s family member.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he abruptly stood up from his seat and walked toward Lu Liangwei.

“You’ve traveled a long way to our kingdom, so I’d like to propose a toast to you, Madam.” His eyes were fixed on Lu Liangwei as he spoke, his gaze brazen and direct.

Long Yang narrowed his eyes.
His fingers twitched, but the girl quickly pressed her soft hand over them.

“You flatter me, Your Highness! As guests in your kingdom, it’s only right that we toast you.” As if she had not noticed Beitang He’s indecency, Lu Liangwei calmly poured a cup of wine and offered it to him.

Beitang He was taken aback by her social grace and fearlessness.

He only collected himself when he saw the wine cup she was holding out to him, and his lips twisted into a knowing smile.

Wisely acting in accordance with the current situation—this beautiful woman was quite the realist!

The man beside her may be handsome, but in the end, he was just an official and not royalty like him.

Any sighted person would know who to choose.

She was no different; he had just expressed his interest in her, and she was already falling over herself to toast him.

Beitang He was very pleased with the beautiful woman’s behavior.

The sight of the fair and slender hand holding the cup roused desire in him.

He reached out to take the cup, wanting to use the opportunity to stroke her dainty hand.
However, the moment he touched the cup, the beautiful woman released her grip.

If he had not reacted in time, the cup would have fallen to the floor.

Startled, Beitang He was about to frown when the woman smiled at him.

He was instantly dazed, and he absent-mindedly raised the cup to his lips.

Lu Liangwei’s smile broadened when she saw him finish all the wine.
“Enjoy the celebration, Your Highness!”

Still enchanted by her smile, Beitang He returned to his seat.
