Although there was a minor incident, it did not affect the holding of the dinner.
The dinner parties in Great Britain were very different from those in Great Qi. There were no fixed seats for everyone. Food and drinks were placed on the table or carried by servants for everyone to use at will.
Although Qingtian and Qin Hexuan had never seen such a custom before, they did not show any curiosity and did their best to adapt to the local customs.
Seeing that Qingtian was so graceful and Qin Hexuan was tall and handsome, the royal family members and nobles of Great Britain put aside their previous prejudices and came forward to talk to him sincerely.
Only then did I realize that the two people spoke Western languages very well, with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude and very polite manners. It was obvious that they were well-educated. I looked up to them even more highly.
After the banquet began, a band played music on the side.
Many noble men and women began to dance to the music.
Qingtian and Qin Hexuan initially thought it was some kind of performance and felt strange about it.
"Brother Qin, aren't there any dancers in Great Britain? Why do these nobles have to dance for the guests themselves?"
"Maybe this is their tradition?" Qin Hexuan guessed, "The nomadic peoples to our west also have this custom."
"That's true." Qingtian nodded. Although she had never been to the west, Ye Qingshan had lived in the northwestern border for many years, so she had heard a lot about it from him.
But they soon discovered something was wrong.
Because people started coming over to invite them to dance.
The first person to come was a young man.
"I am the Earl of Tankville. May I ask the Princess for a dance?"
After the other person finished speaking, he reached out to hold Qingtian's hand.
Qingtian quickly took a step back.
Qin Hexuan also took the opportunity to stand in front of her, frowning and saying, "I'm sorry, we don't have such a custom in Da Qi, and it's even more impossible for Your Highness the Princess to dance with others casually."
With the previous experience of two people being kicked out, Earl Tankville was still relatively gentlemanly. Even though he was not invited, he still left politely.
Seeing that Earl Tankville had hit a wall, the other nobles were very tactful and did not continue to approach Qingtian.
Qingtian just breathed a sigh of relief, but Qin Hexuan was targeted again.
There are certain differences between the people of Da Qi and the people of Great Britain in terms of appearance and body shape.
The people from Da Qi that they usually come into contact with are generally of average appearance, and some don't even seem very tall.
Suddenly seeing a tall and handsome young man like Qin Hexuan, the noble ladies couldn't help but feel fond of him.
What's more, they knew clearly that the largest oriental trading company in Great Britain was the Qin family's business.
Everyone also saw that Kang Ximin, who was usually a guest of honor in every household, had to nod and bow when facing Qin Hexuan.
This alone is enough to attract the favor of many women.
Not to mention his good looks.
So after the dance started for a while, someone came forward and invited Qin Hexuan to come down and dance.
The clothes worn by these British noble women were even tighter than Qingtian's dress, outlining their proud curves.
Qin Hexuan had never seen such a scene before, and he didn't know where to look.
After he rejected the invitations of several people in succession, the noble ladies of Anxie couldn't help but gather together and talk in a low voice.
"What's wrong with this person? Why is he not moved by anything?"
"I see him always following Princess Daqi around. Could he be her lover?"
"You're thinking too much. Princess Daqi still looks like a little girl."
"Then what do you think is the reason?"
Everyone was discussing this when a voice suddenly interrupted, "What's there to discuss? Why don't you admit that you're just not charming enough?"
Then a fragrant breeze blew, and a tall beauty holding an ivory fan walked over.
Her clothes were very bold. Her top was not only tight but also revealing, exposing a large area of her snow-white chest.
The waist is made thinner and softer by the corset, and sways gracefully when walking.
When they saw this socialite coming, the other noble ladies knew they could not compete with her, so whether they were willing or not, they all tactfully retreated.
Qin Hexuan saw someone twisting and turning towards him from afar. When he got closer and saw the other person's clothes, he immediately looked away in embarrassment.
Seeing that the other party was coming straight towards him, Qin Hexuan could no longer remain calm. He grabbed Qingtian's hand and slipped her back to the lounge on the second floor.
Kang Ximin was left where he was and had to deal with questions from other people at the banquet.
“The princess must be feeling tired, so my young master accompanied her back to rest.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come down again in a while.
"Yes, the banquet was very well organized, and Her Royal Highness the Princess was very satisfied."
Qin Hexuan dragged Qingtian back to the lounge in a panic and raised his hand to tug at the bow tie on his chest.
"Madam Lu only said that people in Great Britain are very welcoming, but she didn't say that all women are like this..." He paused for a moment. His upbringing prevented him from saying anything too unkind to a strange woman. Finally, he managed to utter one word, "So casual!"
Qingtian couldn't help laughing out loud. It was the first time she saw Brother Qin running away in such a miserable state.
"You're still laughing at me. I helped you stop the others just now, but you didn't care about me at all?" Qin Hexuan couldn't help but say.
As they were talking, the music downstairs suddenly changed to a very soothing and gentle song.
When Qingtian first saw so many people coming to invite Qin Hexuan, it would be a lie to say that he didn't mind.
But seeing that Qin Hexuan himself rejected them all, she naturally didn't care.
So she joked: "Didn't you say that this might be the custom here?"
Qin Hexuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her. He suddenly took two steps forward and, imitating the British aristocracy, made an inviting gesture and said, "Shouldn't we also follow the local customs?"
Qingtian's cheeks turned red, and she pursed her lips slightly. She did not refuse and gently placed her hand in Qin Hexuan's hand.
Qin Hexuan had just seen how others danced, so he pulled her into his arms, and his other hand naturally wrapped around Qingtian's slender waist.
Qingtian also put his hand on his shoulder.
The two of them imitated the people in the hall below and danced a little awkwardly in the lounge.
After just a few jumps, Qingtian accidentally stepped on Qin Hexuan's foot, lost her balance, and fell directly into his arms.
Qin Hexuan reacted very quickly and caught her, but his eyes instantly became deep.
He slowly lowered his head.
Instead of resisting, Qingtian closed his eyes.
Qin Hexuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and placed a gentle kiss on her lips...
