Song Tingyue then noticed that the wine pot in front of Jiang Wan was empty, and her cheeks were slightly flushed, indicating that she was a little tipsy.
Jiang Wan said, "It's alright. Today you have gained the Emperor's favor, and Mother is happy. You go and entertain him. Don't worry about me."
Song Tingyue smiled and poured her a cup herself: "Indeed, it's New Year's Eve, there's no need to be so formal."
Under her persuasion, Jiang Wan drank three more cups, her eyes becoming increasingly hazy, and she began to chat.
"The eldest prince will be married after the New Year. In fact, the second and third princes are also getting on in years and it is time for them to be betrothed."
Song Tingyue: "What, does Awan's family have any eligible women?"
"His Majesty decides all the princes' marriages," Jiang Wan waved her hand, even letting out a hiccup. "However, if I had a daughter, I would never let her marry... the Second Prince."

Pei Jin frantically wiped the wine stains off her body, whispering "I'm sorry."
What a pathetic prince!
Seeing Pei Jin's cautious expression, Song Tingyue tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

Besides himself, who else can truly help him?
Song Tingyue took a deep breath, a determined look appearing in her eyes.
Perhaps taking the risk is worthwhile.
Just then, Jiang Wan suddenly said, "This wine is very strong, I feel a little dizzy. Princess, I'll go change my clothes first."
Biluo helped Jiang Wan up and led her to the back hall. She was quite drunk and could barely stand.
Song Tingyue's heart skipped a beat.
Her chance has come.
