The welcoming banquet was held in the East Garden of the Imperial Palace, and it would take some time to walk there from the West Garden.
When Mo Shisheng and the other two arrived at the banquet, they found that there was only one seat left in the corner. Mo Shisheng immediately walked towards that corner.
After she sat down, Jiang Ge and Jiang Yao stood on either side of her behind her.
Because Mo Shisheng's location was relatively secluded, she didn't attract much attention when she entered. However, when Mo Shisheng suddenly looked up, she met a pair of clear eyes.
Their eyes met in mid-air. The man, as beautiful as a figure in a painting, smiled gently. Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, slowly turned her face away, and withdrew her gaze.
"Who is that person over there?" Mo Shisheng gently raised her hand, picked up a wine glass, and asked in a low voice.
"Sister, that's the Second Prince, Qi Yufeng." Jiang Yao bent down to pour Mo Shisheng a full glass of wine and said softly.
Is it him?
Mo Shisheng raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. When she looked up in Qi Yufeng's direction, she found that Qi Yufeng's gaze was still on her.
Her brows furrowed even deeper. Qi Yufeng's appearance was exquisite, with thin lips that were as red as if she had applied lipstick.
His features were exquisite, even more beautiful than a woman's, but he still wasn't as handsome as the previous man...
Suddenly, Ming Beiya's devilishly handsome face flashed through Mo Shisheng's mind again. She shook her head slightly, biting her lip in annoyance. Really, how could she unconsciously compare Qi Yufeng to him?
It's like he's possessed...
"Why is Yan'er sitting here? Our Shangguan residence is located over there."
At this moment, Shangguan Qi slowly walked towards Mo Shisheng and sat down directly next to her.
"Is that so?"
Mo Shisheng raised her hand and downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, her gaze turning slightly cold as she looked at Shangguan Qi. "But cousin, do you think you have any extra seats for me over there?"
"..."
Shangguan Qi did not expect Mo Shisheng to be so cold. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched slightly, but she still had a gentle smile on her face. She reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of Mo Shisheng's hand. "Yan'er, it's my fault. Because I have some acquaintance with the eldest sister of the Nan family, I let her sit next to me and chat for a while. Who knew she wouldn't leave?"
"Hmm, what brings my cousin here?"
Mo Shisheng rested one hand lightly on the table, propped up her chin, and said lazily, "You two can go and chat, you don't need to worry about me."
"This won't do, Yan'er, I must apologize to you." With that, Shangguan Qi picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine for himself and Mo Shisheng.
As she raised her wine glass to clink with Mo Shisheng's, her hand slipped, and the wine spilled all over Mo Shisheng's clothes...
"Oh no! Yan'er, I didn't mean to, what should I do?" A hint of panic flashed across Shangguan Qi's face, and anyone who didn't know better would really think she didn't mean it.
A cold glint flashed in Mo Shisheng's eyes. This Shangguan Qi really was resourceful and desperate to embarrass her.
If she doesn't cooperate, wouldn't that be very disrespectful?
"Cousin, go sit down. Anyway, I don't have anything to do today. I can change my clothes when we get back." Mo Shisheng's lips curled into a half-smile, but it was hidden by the red veil, so Shangguan Qi couldn't see it at all.
