She started learning early and is proficient in martial arts.
He is usually the serious type.
But after being specially dressed up, it is simply shocking.
She is so beautiful that she doesn’t look like her!
"This... is this really the senior sister?"
"My goodness, this is so beautiful!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I can't usually tell..."
Ning Que nodded and smiled.
Then he sat at the same table with Shen Qinghe.
"Perform the ritual of washing your hands!"
Ning Xiao announced loudly.
Qingfeng Mingyue came in carrying a copper basin.
Both of them washed their hands at the same time.
Then they wipe it clean with a towel.
Shen Qinghe's pretty face flushed slightly, and her right hand was even trembling. She had been practicing at home for a while, going through this process dozens of times, and she had memorized every detail. Now, seeing Ning Que, whom she had been thinking about so much, she was still very excited.

He picked up the rice wine and poured it into the gourd.
Then he handed it to Shen Qinghe.
She drank it all in one gulp with determination.
"Send the bride to the bridal chamber."
"Gifts from the guests!"
Ning Xiao shouted loudly again.
The next step is to look at Ning Que’s connections.
All guests attending the banquet must give gifts!
