That night, Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

The Xian Shou Palace was filled with joy and merriment, laughter echoing beyond the palace walls and into the heavens.

Drunk and elated, Ru Naren performed a lively Hu folk dance,

Her graceful moves and captivating gestures were mesmerizing,

Though she stumbled in her inebriated state,

Her carefree abandon and radiant smile made her even more alluring than Zhao Hua had seen her at Xiao Jingheng's birthday celebration.

When she finished dancing, Rongyue was so enthralled that she nearly jumped onto the table to applaud.

After a few more drinks, Ru Naren even set up a grill in the Xian Shou Palace, insisting on grilling meat for Zhao Hua herself.

But the tender beef ended up charred and dry under her hand. She tried to make excuses, saying:

"This beef isn't good quality! If we used Mongolian beef, it wouldn't turn out like this! Sister Zhao Hua, you must come to Mongolia sometime. I'll treat you to really delicious grilled meat!"

Tipsy, Zhao Hua glanced at the blackened skewers in Ru Naren's hand and teased:

"Treat me to what? Charcoal from your hands?"

While the newer one, made of the same materials and craftsmanship, had a blank center without any embroidery.

"Prince An, this auspicious knot is the one you dropped when you saved me. I selfishly kept it, going against my parents' teachings. When you gifted Rongyue the charm embroidered with your name, it nearly caused trouble when the late Emperor found out. This blank one is my way of making amends to you both."

Ru Ge insisted on placing both charms in the bewildered Xiao Jingyan's hand, then smiled with relief:

"Embroider your name on this one, and give it to Rongyue. I hope you two can be together forever."

Xiao Jingyan was tipsy and slow to comprehend what was happening,

Assuming this was merely Ru Ge's well-wish for him and Rongyue.

And so, in his drunken oblivion, Ru Ge's affection for him finally came to a full stop.

Seeing her turn to leave, he hurriedly said:

"You've gifted us, I should give you something in return. You like paintings, don't you? I have a few you asked for before that I didn't want to part with. I'll send them to your residence as a thank-you gift!"

Upon hearing this, Ru Ge paused mid-step,

Turning back with a hopeful smile on her face,

She shook her head gently and said with radiance:

"No need. In the future, someone will surely gift me something better."
