After about a moment, Bai Ling tried to get up, but the young prince nearby reached out to help, she smiled and put her hand on his palm, and then softly thanked him.

Many people looked over to Bai Ling.

She walked slowly down the steps with her dress in hand, and came back a little later—it was about time to leave.

This time in and out, when Bai Ling returned, she naturally sat down in another place, for the nobleman's glass there was empty, and she was still pouring the wine in silence as before.

Only this time she didn't wait silently any longer. When she was pouring the wine, she heard the topic that she had also discussed with the previous prince and Taishou, so she threw out a joke or two from before.

These words aroused the interest of the other two, and she took the initiative to introduce them to her previous position.

So in an instant, four out of ten people were seated in one place. Bai Ling held the white jade carved wine jug in both hands, and sat in the middle of the crowd with a smile.

The young county king on her left, the original family name was Xu, and later in her grandfather's generation, she was given the surname Chen, with a single name.

The fief of this county king is in the territory of Shangluo, Chuzhou, adjacent to Luling County, and he just entered Beijing last month to travel, which is when he is not familiar with the place - and although the Taishou on the side is now an official in Yuezhou, he is a native of Luling County.

These two people are in one place, so they naturally have something to talk about.

The other two are the same.

Most of the other flower kilns knew about this news, but no one had thought of it before - to make some horizontal connections between guests.

However, this is not a big deal, even if Bai Ling occupies the four people first at the moment, Lan Zihao will only send Bai Ling out of the horse in the final analysis, even if she really fascinates these four people, all of them are occupied under the skirt, then counting the tenth person who has not appeared at the moment, there is still a surplus of six people.

The other girls from the flower kiln had also done their homework, and at the moment they wanted to talk happily with the goals they had chosen, and they were all doing their own plans.

Again and again, the people soon became acquainted with each other, and they pulled their low tables together so that they were not too far apart from each other, but sat in a small circle.

The laughter is matched by the silk bamboo playing and singing in the center of the dance floor – a rare sight.

Normally, this is only the case at a gathering of old acquaintances.

Tonight's girls are all newcomers, and most of the guests don't know each other, so they should have been paired up in pairs, and then toasted each other.

I never thought that this time was different from the past, and it had only been a long time since the banquet was held, and everyone had gathered so close.

……

After three rounds of drinking, the cups and plates were in disarray, and many people's faces were slightly red.

Suddenly, a young man stood up, took two bowls and filled them with wine, and walked up to Bai Ling, and placed the bowls in front of her.

"Miss Bailing, I'll toast you!"

Bai Ling looked at the person in front of him, glanced at the position where he was sitting before, and quickly reacted - this is the second son of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, Wang Duan.

He looks about the same age as Zeng Jiuyan, but his appearance and bearing are far from the same.

Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, and just stretched out his hands to take it, but was stopped by the young county king nearby, "What is this going to do, Prince Wang?" ”

Wang Duan looked a little drunk, he held his stomach, with a slight ridicule and frivolity on his face, he glanced at the county king nearby, and said with a smile, "Don't hide it from Your Highness, I actually have a bit of old love with Miss Bailing."

"You were talking and laughing a lot, and I didn't bother...... Now it's time for me to talk to Miss Bailing, haha, you can let me too. ”

Bai Ling's eyes widened slightly, and she looked up at the stranger in front of her, with a little surprise in her eyes.

"Does the prince recognize me?"

As soon as the king heard this, he knew that the so-called "old love" was mostly this person's nonsense, and he began to go crazy when he drank too much wine in front of him.

He was about to answer, when there was some noise outside, and everyone looked sideways, and the voice was quiet for a moment.

Soon, however, the strange noise came again, and it was more intense than the last one—it sounded like someone was banging on the door with his head on the door.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." A maid bowed slightly, and then went out with a brisk step.

The golden wire cage was settled down again.

The music was still there, and the young county king also stood up, with a little ridicule on his face, "The beauty is on the side, how can there be a gift to give each other, it is not yet time to send apricot cakes, Wang Gongzi should wait a little longer." ”

"Your Highness, I don't like to hear what you say." The prince surnamed Wang sneered, his face slightly embarrassed, "Since you also know that it is not time to deliver the apricot cake at this time, why do you ask me to wait so justifiably?" ”

The young county king heard a little bit of overtones, and also half-jokingly, "...... Sounds like your Excellency is determined to succeed in Miss Bailing? ”

"Yes," said the prodigal man, "I won't hide it from you, this lark is a beauty that an old friend of mine can't ask for, and he didn't succeed in the original tooth deal, so sad that he left home with a letter...... I'm here for her tonight. ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wondered in his heart, could it be that Zeng Jiuyan really asked his friend to come over before leaving?

If he was Zeng Jiuyan's friend—

Wang Duan leaned over, propped one hand on the low table next to Bai Ling, and gently grabbed the side of her face with the other hand, and then unceremoniously went down, caressing her neck roughly, Bai Ling instinctively grabbed his wrist at this moment, and then still smiled and said, "Childe is self-respecting." ”

"Self-respect, self-respect." He nodded again and again, and his smile was even more arbitrary, "I'm just here to have a drink with you......"

"I don't drink." Bai Ling turned his face slightly and replied softly.

"You don't have to learn to drink, you just drink." Wang Duan's eyes narrowed slightly, his face was closer, and his voice was lowered, "If you don't drink some wine, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it tonight-"

"Next!" The county king next to him couldn't listen to it anymore, he frowned and said sharply, "I thought that the people who would come to this Jinya Night Banquet were all romantic people, and they had also read the sage book for two years, right?" How can you say all this foul language! ”

"What kind of scriptures are you reading when you come to Baihuaya," Wang Duan's face smiled even more, "Your Highness, you have probably only been in the capital for a short time, and you don't know what Baihuaya is doing...... When you come here, the first important thing is to clean up the sanctimonious guys on you, and everyone will see each other naked, this is called honesty! ”

"You-"

Before the words fell, the maid who had gone out before came back, she hurriedly walked to Bai Ling's side, leaned over and said something in Bai Ling's ear, Bai Ling glanced at her a little inexplicably.

The maid withdrew, and Bai Ling stood up.

"Don't let the two sons get angry," Bai Ling said softly, "Baihuaya is a place for pleasure, and the two of them are fighting like this, but it's not mine." ”

The young county king snorted coldly and sat back in his place.

The king got proud, and was about to reach out to grab Bai Ling's shoulder, but Bai Ling took a step back and said with a smile, "The prince also let go, unfortunately, I have to go out now." ”
