Hu Qing did not come alone.
There was a little girl accompanying her.
Du Shiniang usually frequented such places, adept at navigating social situations. She dismissed the others present and walked up to the little girl, bending down and gently asking, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"I'm called Jiang Shang!" The little girl's eyes were bright, showing no signs of timidity.
Prince Xia Mang Guanjun casually untied a jade ornament from his waist and handed it over.
"I didn't expect Master Hu Qing to bring someone along. I came in a hurry and don't have much in the way of gifts. Take this Dragon Soul Jade, which has been with me for a long time, as a token of my appreciation."
Understanding the other party's character, Hu Qing didn't refuse and let Jiang Shang accept it directly.
Seeing the indulgence in Hu Qing's eyes, Prince Xia Mang Guanjun's expression changed slightly.
