Seeing Ling Chuxi and the rest drink the wine, an imperceptible sneer swept across the first prince's lips. But it did not escape Ling Chuxi's sharp eyes.
"My lords, all of you have worked hard for this trip to Ding Lin Country. I propose another toast to each of you!" announced the first prince as his subordinates stepped forward and poured more wine for the others.
The envoy and his fleet were so full of gratitude, they simply drank the wine without thinking any further. The atmosphere of the banquet was merry because the first prince kept persuading everyone to drink more throughout.
After the banquet ended, the first prince smiled faintly at Ling Chuxi and said, "Miss Ling, I'll travel ahead to Wu Mu City first to help take care of things for each of you. Since you have all had such a hard journey, take your time and hurry over slowly." The smile on the first prince's face remained as pleasantly warm as a spring breeze.
