At first, Tao Yao and the three of them were a little restrained, but after a few rounds, they gradually let go, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

In such an atmosphere, the four of them played until the evening, and they were still having fun, if it weren't for Lu Jiuyuan to pick up Tao Yao, the four of them would probably play until late at night, and they wouldn't stop.

"The prince is also there?"

When Lu Jiuyuan saw Qi Yan, he was obviously a little surprised.

"Lu Guogong." Qi Yan nodded, looked at the sky outside, and saw that it was about to darken, so he quickly stood up, "Before I knew it, it was so late, and I had to go back to the palace alone." ”

Tao Lian's heart was relieved, and she just wanted to say that she would send off the prince, but her mother suddenly walked in, "Your Highness, there is some thin wine in the house, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, you can stay and eat before leaving." ”

Tao Lian looked at her mother with a resentful look.

But the prince will definitely not agree.

She just thought so, and then listened to the prince respond happily, "Then bother." ”

Tao Lian: "......"

The Li family was overjoyed and hurriedly shook his head, "Your Highness is willing to stay for dinner, and it's too late for the courtiers to be happy." It just so happens that Jiuyuan is also here, so you can have a few more drinks. ”

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he had no choice but to stay with Tao Yao.

At the beginning of the dinner, Tao Tian and Tao Jingyan also came back one after another.

However, when Tao Jingyan came back, he also brought Princess Sang Jing.

Seeing that Qi Yan was also here, Tao Jingyan was a little uncomfortable, but it was Princess Sang Jing who greeted Qi Yan generously.

Qi Yan looked at the two of them and didn't say anything, only said, "Princess Sang Jing sit down." ”

Since Princess Sang Jing came, Li's complexion has become not very good-looking.

Princess Sang Jing also knew, but she didn't care at all, and raised her glass to salute her, "Sang Jing came uninvited, bothered her aunt, and asked your aunt to forgive me, this glass of wine, Sang Jing respects you." ”

Lee was unmoved.

She actually doesn't hate this girl, it's just that she has a special identity, and she is destined to be unable to be together with Jing Yan, she should know it herself, but she has to be entangled with Jing Yan, which makes her feel very unhappy.

When the time comes, there will be two people injured.

As a mother, she naturally didn't want to see her son get hurt.

She just wants her son to be simple and happy.

Sang Jing drank all a glass of wine, but when she saw that she didn't even look at herself, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She also knew that her approach was a little bad, but she couldn't control herself, she really liked Tao Jingyan.

Thinking about it, she sat back lonely.

Seeing her like this, Tao Tian was a little unbearable, and quietly bumped his wife's arm, signaling her not to embarrass the girl.

But Li was determined to make her retreat, and was still indifferent to her husband's hints.

Seeing this, Tao Tian sighed in his heart, picked up his wine glass, and said to Sang Jing: "Princess Sang Jing, it has been so long since I received your envoys from Khitan, I haven't had a chance to drink with the princess, so let's take this opportunity to have a drink today." ”

When Sang Jing heard this, her gloomy gaze lit up in an instant, and Tao Jingyan beside her had already poured wine for her.

She couldn't wait to pick it up and said bluntly: "Sang Jing respects Uncle Tao." ”

Tao Tian raised his glass with a smile.

After the two of them finished drinking, Sang Jing's mood improved again, and she didn't care at all about the deliberate snub in front of the Li family.

Seeing this, Li Shi glared at Tao Tian fiercely.

What is this person messing with?

Tao Tian didn't look at it, turned his head and drank with Lu Jiuyuan and Qi Yan.

Lee was furious.

"Sister-in-law, eat vegetables, the fish made in the kitchen today is good." Nie Mulan sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her and said softly with relief.

Li sighed and nodded.

"Pity, don't worry about eating, pour a glass of wine for the prince and your brother-in-law." At this time, Tao Tian said to his little daughter who was bored and hard.

Tao Lian was struggling with the pig's trotters in his hand, and when he heard this, he said without thinking: "It's good to call the second sister down." ”

Tao Ling: "......"

She's angry and funny.

Tao Tian also can't do anything with his little daughter.

Tao Yao smiled and relieved Tao Lian, "It's all your own people, just pour the wine yourself." ”

Qi Yan glanced at Tao Lian, the corners of his lips hooked, he found that this girl really loves to eat, "Mrs. Lu is right, it's good to be alone." ”

He refused the subordinate who stepped forward to pour wine for him, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass for Lu Jiuyuan first, and then refilled his own cup.

He picked up the cup and said to everyone: "I am very happy to be able to eat with you today, and this glass of wine is very happy for everyone." ”

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses one after another.

After Qi Yan drank this glass of wine, he got up and said goodbye.

Tao Tian was originally going to send him off, but when he saw his eyes fall on Tao Lian, he immediately understood and said to Tao Lian: "Mercy, send the prince." ”

Tao Lian just finished gnawing on the pig's trotters, and when she heard this, although she was not very reluctant, she wiped her mouth and hands and got up, "Your Highness, the courtiers will send you." ”

Qi Yan nodded, "Okay." ”

Looking at the figures of the two of them walking away in the moonlight, one after the other, Chen said with emotion: "If you look at it this way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mercy are still quite compatible." ”

Li sighed, I don't know if it's joy or worry?

Tao Lian followed behind Qi Yan and walked towards the door of the mansion.

Qi Yan didn't walk fast, his steps were not hurried, which made Tao Lian confused, wasn't he going back to the palace, why wasn't he in a hurry at all?

The leisurely stroll didn't look like he was going back to the palace at all.

Tao Lian muttered in his heart.

Qi Yan deliberately walked slowly, he occasionally tilted his head, and when he saw the girl who was following behind him, a light smile was clearly crossed in his dark eyes.

The night was silent, Tao Lian looked at the shadow in front of her, she suddenly became playful, and stepped on his shadow to play.

What she didn't know was that Qi Yan had already seen it.

When she was having fun, he suddenly stopped, she didn't stop her feet, and the whole person hit his back.

Tao Lian: "......"

Her mind went blank for a moment.

"Did it hurt?"

Qi Yan saw her standing there in a daze, thinking that it hurt her, and couldn't help but regret it a little, and asked with concern.

Tao Lian came back to her senses, shook her head, and whispered, "I didn't mean to. ”

"I know." Qi Yan put his mind at ease and took advantage of the situation to hold her little hand.

Tao Lian's eyelashes twitched, and she looked at him in astonishment.

Prince...... Why did he hold her hand?

She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but want to withdraw her hand, but he held it tightly.

Tao Lian couldn't withdraw her hand, and her little face was red.

She was about to open her mouth to remind, but Qi Yan took the first step and said, "Okay, let's send it here, I'm going back to the palace, you go back." ”

Tao Lian was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that they had already walked to the door of the mansion at some point, and forgot that their hands were still held by him for a while.

Qi Yan looked down at her.

Under the moonlight, her face was red, and her thick curly eyelashes were blinking and winking, very cute.

He paused, leaned over suddenly, and quickly pecked her on the lips.
