The third prince was delighted!
Success!
His heart was beating fast, but he pretended to be calm: "Royal brother, what's wrong?"
Rong Lan smiled gently: "If Third Brother doesn't want such a stupid person, why not give it to my younger brother?"
"Oh? Could it be that my royal brother has taken a fancy to this dancer?"
"With such a beautiful appearance, it's inevitable for people to be attracted to her."
Rong Lan's answer was so frank that the Third Prince didn't know what to say for a moment.
He thought that the more Rong Lan cared, the more he would pretend to be indifferent, so he had been carefully watching his every expression...
Who would have thought that he would just say it like that!
This made the Third Prince wonder whether Rong Lan really cared about Shi Wuqing!
No matter what, it's a good thing that Rong Lan spoke up.
"In that case, you will go and serve the Fifth Prince. If you haven't won his favor by the end of the banquet, I will kill you."
"Yes, thank you both Your Highnesses for sparing my life."
Shi Wuqing was put down. She lowered her eyebrows and walked to Rong Lan, wanting to pour wine for Rong Lan, but the wine jug was held by another maid, who ignored her as if she didn't see her.
Rong Lan raised his eyes slightly and saw the girl's helpless eyes, her slender fingers red from the cold tightly clutching her clothes.
He glanced at the maid holding the wine jug. The maid froze and reluctantly gave up her position to pour the wine.
So, Shi Wuqing knelt down beside Rong Lan and poured him some wine.
"What's your name?" asked the third prince.
"Song Qingqing." Shi Wuqing answered softly, her voice a little trembling, sounding particularly weak and helpless.
"Is this how you serve people? Haven't you learned it?" the third prince said coldly.
Shi Wuqing seemed frightened and looked at Rong Lan in panic, hoping to get his instructions.
But Rong Lan didn't react at all to this scene.
Shi Wuqing had no choice but to move closer to him, picked up the wine glass, and handed it to Rong Lan's lips: "Your Highness, please drink."
The slender jade fingers placed on the wine glass are particularly beautiful, and there is an indescribable sense of sexiness and temptation when they rest on the wine glass.
Rong Lan lowered his eyes and glanced at them, then smiled: "Even the beauties in Third Brother's palace are very different from those outside."
After saying that, he really cooperated and drank the glass of wine.
The Third Prince's heart was put back in his stomach. He laughed heartily: "As long as my brother likes it."
…
The two started talking about random things again. Shi Wuqing didn't know whether her task was completed or not. She stayed obediently beside Rong Lan. When he ran out of wine, she would pour him more.
As for more...nothing more.
The most outrageous "seduction" she made was to put her hand on the other person's hand.
——Shi Wuqing knew that if he did nothing, the Third Prince would definitely be dissatisfied, so he symbolically chose... the most normal one among all the strategies he had been taught.
Rong Lan did not dodge.
But for some reason, after she put her hand on him for a while, Rong Lan's body temperature became very high, and her hand was even a little hot. She was so cold that she couldn't help but move closer to him.
This action earned Rong Lan a glance down.
But he still didn't say anything.
Shi Wuqing plucked up the courage and moved closer, but was stopped this time.
"Just sit there." Rong Lan said the first words to her.
When Shi Wuqing saw that the Third Prince had no reaction and no one else seemed to have heard anything, she realized that this was probably a sound transmission.
She obediently didn't move.
"Cold?" Rong Lan asked again.
Shi Wuqing murmured "hmm" softly.
Then, her hand was suddenly held by the other person, and a steady stream of warm internal energy was transmitted into her body, sweeping away the coldness.
Shi Wuqing's eyes widened.
But Rong Lan had already looked away, and was only holding her hand gently under the cover of the table and his sleeves.
