Prince Beiping looked at Su Man steadily, a gleam of teasing flashed across his face. He took a step back, as if he was not the one who had just teased Su Man.
"I will consider it."
Su Man bowed, "Then I'll go first."
Su Man opened the door and left holding Tao Yuan's hand.
Inside the house, Prince Beiping sniffed his fingers lightly, a smile playing on his lips.

After returning to the table, Murong Hong tilted his head and asked, "Why did you take so long?"
"I am not very good at drinking and feel a little dizzy."
After all the noise, Murong Hong felt tired and ended the birthday party.
That night, Murong Hong stayed in Concubine Li's palace again on the grounds that he had made a contribution in hosting Concubine Li's birthday banquet.
When Concubine Li heard this, her expression could only be described as hopeless.
However, Concubine Shu, who was sitting at the last seat, looked jealous.
The emperor stayed at Concubine Li's place for the past two days, which made Shu Meir feel a strong sense of crisis.
Although Murong Hong told her several times that as long as everything was settled, she would be the queen.

In the curling mist, Su Man smiled slowly. "Do you really think the Prince of Beiping is a sentimental man? Even if he did propose marriage, it was several years ago. He may not have a princess, but he has at least three hundred concubines and dancers. There's no need for him to be obsessed with me."
Su Man saw this very clearly.
Including his rude behavior today, it was probably because he wanted to see how far she could go. If he was just pretending to surrender, with his reckless behavior, she would have turned against him long ago.
The more tolerant she is of him, the more sincere her desire for reconciliation is.
Although things were going well, Suman still tossed and turned at night.
"When can I see Mimi?"
666 laughed dryly: "Haha, didn't I tell you, as long as there is a suitable body, Master Mimi will be here soon."
Although Su Man was annoyed, she also understood that this matter could not be rushed.
Just when Su Man was half asleep and half awake, she suddenly heard a noise outside the house.
"The fire is happening!"
