Everyone present heard what Xuanyuan Chen said just now. Furthermore, everyone could see the moment the wine cup was thrown. In an instant, everyone had distanced themselves from Xuanyuan Chen, so much that when they saw Xuanyuan Chen leaning on his shoulder and whispering to her, they felt like they had been blinded.
Was this still the Prince Chen who pierced Li Qingqing with his previous words? In front of Xie Qingrong, she was actually so sticking to him? It was probably their imagination.
Ye Ningyu stared closely at Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong who were not far away, the jealousy in her eyes was about to burn herself to death. Xie Qingrong naturally felt the jealousy from Ye Ningyu too, but she did not take it to heart at all.
Ye Ningyu turned her mind, holding the wine cup in her hand, she wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Jing who was beside him, and asked softly: "Where are you going?"
"What does it have to do with you?" After coldly answering Xuanyuan Jing's question, he broke free from Xuanyuan Jing's arms and directly walked in Xie Qingrong's direction.
Xuanyuan Jing looked at Ye Ningyu's act coldly. He raised the wine cup in his hand and drank his wine forcefully.
Ye Ningyu was still wearing the red embroidered palace dress today, she seemed to be very fond of red. At first, it was because she wanted Xuanyuan Chen to wear red often, but later on she really fell in love with red.
Ye Ningyu's red clothes really made her skin whiter than snow and her face more beautiful than snow. It was a pity that Xuanyuan Chen had never noticed her presence.
Unwilling to give up, she took small steps forward towards Xie Qingrong, step by step.
Initially, the surrounding people did not even dare to approach Xuanyuan Chen because of what happened with Li Qingqing. However, after seeing Right Prime Minister's daughter, Ye Ningyu, the capital's number one beauty, walking towards the two of them with a wine cup in hand, their eyes immediately lit up.
He kept a close eye on their movements. In order to prevent himself from being unable to see them clearly, he even took a step forward to watch this unparalleled show.
Even Zhangsun Wenxuan and Zhangsun Wenyan were attracted.
Everyone thought that she would give the wine cup to Xuanyuan Chen. After all, almost the entire capital knew that the number one beauty was relentlessly pursuing the Prince Chen.
He never thought that she would actually raise her cup and head towards Xie Qingrong.
Ye Ningyu stood in front of Xie Qingrong, raised the wine cup in her hand up to Xie Qingrong and arrogantly asked: "Miss Xie, may I have a drink with you?"
Xie Qingrong looked at Ye Ningyu with a smile that was not a smile. Unknowingly, the originally confident Ye Ningyu had actually started to waver under Xie Qingrong's gaze, and felt a little guilty.
He could not help but push his wine cup forward and said even louder: "Miss Xie will not accept this wine cup of mine. Are you scared?"
Xie Qingrong pushed the head that Xuanyuan Chen was leaning on his shoulder to the side, and folded his arms across his chest.
As Ye Ningyu sat, she needed to raise her head to look at Ye Ningyu. Originally, Ye Ningyu should have been more imposing, but she did not expect that Xie Qingrong was not bad either.
and he was even faintly suppressing Ye Ningyu.
Xie Qingrong lightly tapped her arm, her lips curling into a cold and thin smile, which was not a smile at all. She said somewhat coldly, "Why does Miss Ye think that I won't accept this cup of wine because I'm afraid?"
Ye Ningyu raised her eyebrows, her beautiful features instantly becoming bright and bright, as she arrogantly said: "If you weren't afraid, why would you have refused my wine?"
Xie Qingrong felt that this Ye Ningyu was extremely funny. She didn't know if she did this on purpose or not, but she couldn't decide if she was pretending to be arrogant or if it was because of her arrogance.
If he was pretending, then his plans were profound, and if it was true, then this Ye Ningyu was truly stupid, and did not know how Right Prime Minister was able to bring up such a brainless daughter.
Xie Qingrong could not help but burst out laughing.
When Ye Ningyu heard Xie Qingrong's mocking laughter, her beautiful eyes immediately filled with anger, and she berated sternly: "What are you laughing for!"
In comparison to Ye Ningyu's anger from getting embarrassed, Xie Qingrong was actually more relaxed. If one were to look closely, one would be able to see an intense sense of ridicule within the dark pupils.
"Does Miss Ye not know the rules of this banquet?" Xie Qingrong asked leisurely.
Ye Ningyu did not react for a moment. Frowning her pretty eyebrows, she asked: "What rules?"
However, everyone present had already understood what kind of rule Xie Qingrong spoke of. Actually, this rule was unwritten, it was just that everyone agreed to this rule, and over time, it became a common rule.
Xie Qingrong just did not accept the wine cup in Ye Ningyu's hands no matter what she did, but now, she snatched the wine cup from Ye Ningyu's hands. Her white fingers holding the wine cup lightly swayed and the wine cup that was as light as water slightly swayed, causing a few small ripples.
He leisurely explained to Ye Ningyu, "So Miss Ye didn't know of this rule, then let me explain it to you. This palace feast has an unwritten rule: If you meet a man or woman you like, you can pass the wine cup to them. If that man or woman accepts your wine, it means that they are interested in you as well.
Miss Ye passed the wine cup to me, does this mean that Miss Ye is interested in me? Even though I am a woman, facing such a captivating beauty like Miss Ye, it was hard to avoid being unable to hold back. "
The spectators instantly burst into laughter.
Ye Ningyu reacted, her beautiful face instantly turned white and green, her fair face was flushed red, but unfortunately, it was not because she was shy, but because she was angry.
Ye Ningyu wanted to snatch the wine cup from Xie Qingrong's hands, but Xie Qingrong was already prepared.
Ye Ningyu pointed at Xie Qingrong angrily, wanting to berate him.
Xuanyuan Chen, who was originally sitting beside Xie Qingrong and watching the show, heard what Xie Qingrong said just now.
Seeing Xie Qingrong being so noisy with Ye Ningyu, she suddenly became annoyed, and stopped Xie Qingrong, "A Rong, return the wine cup to Miss Ye, don't play with him anymore."
Hearing that, Xie Qingrong only raised an eyebrow, and laughed: "Reporting to Your Highness, I am not messing with Miss Ye, Miss Ye is full of promises to me, of course I have to properly respond to Miss Ye, so as to not let Miss Ye experience the pain of lovesickness."
Hearing Xie Qingrong's twisted logic, Ye Ningyu was angered to the point that her eyebrows twitched, she turned and angrily left, no longer caring about Xie Qingrong.
However, Xie Qingrong still spoke up from behind, "Miss Ye, do you not want this wine cup?"
Ye Ningyu was so angry that she immediately increased her pace and walked towards Xuanyuan Jing's direction. Xuanyuan Jing shot a glance at Ye Ningyu who was sitting beside him and laughed coldly: "Is it fun?"
Ye Ningyu's face remained cold. With a cold snort, she turned her body to the side with her back facing Xuanyuan Jing, not caring about the ridicule and ridicule she received from Xuanyuan Jing.
