No matter how much she despised them on the surface, Princess Zhao Yan was very satisfied with the two gifts that Yan Ling had given her.
Liang He seemed to have sent someone to deliver a gift today. He gave a few more words of warning before leaving. On the other hand, Liang Yi was excitedly looking at Yan Ling, while Yan Shuang was obediently staying by Liang Yi's side.
Although Liang He wasn't present, Yan Ling wasn't that worried. This was partly because no one would be so tactless as to stay within Princess Yan's territory.
On the other hand, the ladies and young masters in the capital all looked up and saw each other. Even if there was a conflict, it wouldn't cause any trouble in this kind of situation.
Furthermore, if they really provoked Princess Guangyan, it wouldn't be impossible for them to openly seek revenge afterwards. Therefore, everyone at the banquet restrained themselves and looked at her with a kind and amiable expression.
However, there seemed to be someone who was planning on losing their calm. Not long after, Snow Cherry appeared in front of Yan Ling with a cup of wine.
When Yan Ling saw Snow Cherry walking straight towards him, he immediately felt that something was wrong. However, he did not panic and only raised his eyebrows.
At this moment, Snow Cherry also had a smile on her face, making it hard to tell if her words were fake or real. However, there was something in her eyes that would not change.
"Miss Yan, we didn't get along well in the past. I think I must have offended you. Today is a good day for Princess Zhao Yan. Why don't we let bygones be bygones?" Snow Cherry walked up to Yan Ling and said with a sincere expression.
Although Yan Ling twitched his mouth in disdain, he didn't show it on his face. Although most people already believed in Snow Cherry's way of handling things, Yan Lingcun would not be so easily deceived.
If the past was the past, then it was the past as well. However, there were some things that left a gap in his heart. What Snowy said in the Censor's manor last time, that attitude seemed to hate him to the bone.
Even if he did get rid of this matter, Yan Ling had already made up his mind that he would fight Snow Cherry to the end no matter what. In the eyes of Yan Ling, Snow Cherry's act was nothing more than an act, and was not worth believing.
Regardless of what he was thinking, Yan Ling knew the principle of using force to deal with a situation. Now that the other party was' intentionally asking for peace ', if he were to put on airs, others would think that he was being unreasonable.
"Miss Bai, what are you talking about? It's just some small friction. I don't really care about what happened before, so please forgive me." Yan Ling said with a beaming smile.
Indeed, Yan Ling did not care about his image in the eyes of others.
Therefore, Yan Ling also stood up, raising his own wine glass as if he wanted to drink the wine with Snow Cherry.
However, just at this moment, Snow Cherry stopped Yan Ling's movements and passed the wine cup in her hand to him.
Snowy Cherry saw that everyone was paying attention to her, so she raised her voice and said, "Since you are apologizing, then I will definitely toast you." "If Miss Yan is willing to forgive me, please drink this wine."
Looking at the smile on Snow Cherry's face, Yan Ling suddenly felt that something was wrong. For no reason, Snow Cherry ran over to him and said that it was laughable that she wanted to reunite with him. Not to mention acting, why did she insist on letting him drink this cup of wine?
Yan Ling was not an idiot, she could easily figure out the reasoning behind it if she thought about it carefully. It was likely that Snow Cherry had put something in the wine to make him look bad, which was why she came to him at this time.
Looking at Snow Cherry's complacent look, Yan Ling was even more sure of what he had just thought. He did not expect him to be unable to see through it, but there were so many people watching around him, and this was what he was hoping for.
If Yan Ling wanted to refuse this glass of wine when Snow Cherry was already the first to show weakness, he would be said by others to be a spoiled and willful girl, not understanding the ways of the world.
Furthermore, this was a birthday banquet for Yan Ling's good friend, Princess Dian Yan. If he made a mistake, Snow Cherry would make use of this opportunity to embarrass Princess Zhaoyan.
If he wanted to avoid such a thing, there was only one choice — drink that glass of wine.
However, he didn't even know what was in the wine. How could Yan Ling just casually drink it? Even if it wasn't a poison, it probably wouldn't be a good thing. Yan Ling couldn't help but think back to the aphrodisiac Liang He used in the tunnel. His expression immediately turned ugly.
"Miss Yan, what is the meaning of this? Are you not going to forgive me?" White Cherry didn't respond to Yan Ling's words for a long time, and continued to urge him, her voice already had a hint of a sobbing tone.
To the others, Snowy's voice clearly sounded like it was about to cry. However, from an angle that they could not see, Yan Ling could see it clearly. A proud smile hung on Snow Cherry's face, it was as if she didn't feel wronged at all.
Yan Ling gritted his teeth, but did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "If Miss Bai says that I will accept your apology after drinking this goblet of wine, then I really cannot drink this goblet of wine."
When the crowd heard this, they were immediately in a mess. They probably thought that Ye Xiao had gone overboard with his words. Even if he didn't like people, he shouldn't show it in such a situation. With so many people watching, it was no different from slapping someone in the face.
Snow Cherry did not expect Yan Ling to say such a thing. However, she was very satisfied with the result. It could be said that he got it effortlessly.
Yan Ling did not care about the reactions of the crowd. He smiled and continued, "Didn't I just say it? If you are not angry because of what happened previously, then how can you apologize and accept it? "
Yan Ling's answer couldn't be wrong. In addition, with her squinted eyes and smiling face, it was very easy for the crowd to change their previous thoughts. It also succeeded in stunning Snow Cherry.
Snow Cherry gritted her teeth and continued, "But since I'm already in front of you, you still have to …"
Without waiting for Snow Cherry to finish, Yan Ling had already poured the wine in his hand into his mouth and even poured out the cup without leaving a single drop behind.
At this moment, Yan Ling continued, "This goblet of wine, the two of us will definitely drink it. I'll do it as a form of respect. "Miss Bai, please!"
After saying that, Yan Ling looked at Snow Cherry with glowing eyes. He even made a gesture of 'please' with his hand, as if he was sincerely communicating with Snow Cherry.
Having watched this play for so long, Princess Zhao Yan naturally understood what was going on. Previously, she had been feeling nervous for Yan Ling, but now that she saw how ingeniously he had resolved the situation, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
"It's also good for you two to laugh at each other. Just like Miss Bai said before, drink this wine and then the past will be written off." Princess Guangyan urged as well.
