In the evening, the sun, moon and stars shine together.

The place where you can enjoy the river lanterns has already been under martial law, and the army has separated the people from a hundred meters away.

The lanterns on both sides of the river bank are shimmering, and the willows are flying in the warm wind. The broad river channel is rolled up by the wind, like fish scales sprinkled with broken gold.

There are many large and small colorful boats swimming in the river, lined up in a row.

Meng Ying stood at the ferry, tall and tall. She had not yet had time to change out of her scarlet court uniform. There was no trace of fatigue on her face. She was majestic and heroic.

Seeing Bai Zhi, he greeted her with a smile.

Bai Zhi hurried over, panting, and rushed towards Meng Ying.

Meng Ying opened her arms slightly and hugged her firmly. Seeing her look like this, I couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Bai Zhi smiled, "Am I late?"

"It's not too late. Did you bring any clothes?" He stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Zhi's cheek, his eyes filled with fondness, "You will be scolded a lot when you meet my father like this."

Bai Zhi nodded, "Fortunately, I brought it with me. I didn't expect it would take so long. Where can I change it?"

Meng Ying held her hand and smiled slightly, "Follow Sa Lan."

The boat has two floors. Meng Ying took Bai Zhi up to the second floor and into a guest room.

Bai Zhi changed into clothes as quickly as possible with the help of Lihua. The whole process was like a war.

Meng Ying slowly crossed the screen. Lihua was about to comb Bai Zhi's hair, but Meng Ying stared at the top of Bai Zhi's head for a while, then reached out and took off a strange hairpin on Bai Zhi's head.

The hairpin was tightly entangled with silver threads, making it shockingly ugly.

"What is this?" Meng Ying asked curiously.

Bai Zhi followed the sound and said, "Huh? What is this? It's not mine!"

Meng Ying suspiciously wound around the silver wire, revealing a blood-colored eagle-shaped jade pendant in front of her eyes.

When Bai Zhi saw this thing, her facial muscles couldn't help but twitch, what a piece of shit Zhuo Yao!

"Um, this... this is..." Bai Zhi hesitated, not knowing how to explain.

"Zhuo Yao gave it to you?" Meng Ying raised her lips slightly, with dark and unclear emotions flowing through her eyes.

"Uh, hahaha... I really can't hide anything from you, Prince!" Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly.

Meng Ying chuckled softly, holding the jade pendant in his hand and playing with it, "Zhuo Yao is willing to give it up. This jade pendant is a rare blood jade in the world. It was consecrated by the Buddhist master back then and was given to the King of Zhennan who has been loyal and brave for generations. Just this piece."

"So precious?" Bai Zhi was stunned, a little at a loss for a moment, and quickly explained, "But I didn't accept it, I will send someone to return it to him tomorrow!"

Meng Ying was not forgiving, "This thing can be regarded as a family heirloom. Why did Zhuo Yao give this thing to you, Princess?"

Bai Zhi blushed anxiously and cursed Zhuo Yao in her heart. She was really speechless, "I...I don't know...I just..."

"Oh! If Sa Lan remembers correctly, one of you is in the Qifeng Hall and the other is in the Colosseum today. You can't fight with eight poles! Why is the princess late today?"

Meng Ying approached Bai Zhi, and although her tone was calm, Bai Zhi felt quite oppressive.

"This is because I met Princess Xuan by chance today and had no choice but to accompany her to the Qifeng Hall, and then I met Zhuo Yao..." Bai Zhi explained impatiently.

But she didn't think she had done anything wrong. On the contrary, it was Meng Ying's aggressive attitude that made Bai Zhi angry, so she continued to yell: "You have the nerve to accuse me! Don't you have a lot of romantic affairs of your own? Let me Isn't it your specialty to have people obsessed with you?"

"A married woman can still call you Brother Salan in her dreams. One by one, it's so intimate! Humph! Now you have the nerve to scold me!"

"Which married woman?" Meng Ying frowned suspiciously.

"Ha! Think for yourself! Get out! I'm going to get my hair tied!" Bai Zhi used her hands and feet to push Meng Ying out of the room.

Meng Ying: "..."

Meng Ying leaned against the door, puzzled, but once she thought that she met Princess Xuan today, everything would be smoothed out.

Meng Ying pinched her eyebrows with a headache.

Shen Qingli? That would be troublesome.

He raised his hand to look at the jade pendant in his hand. Zhuo Yao's earnest feelings made him inexplicably upset, to the point of losing his composure.

By the time Bai Zhi finished cleaning up, the palace servants were already waiting in front of the door, and Meng Ying had already taken the seat first.

Meng Ying didn't wait for her! Bai Zhi suddenly became even angrier, thinking that she must not ignore him. If she smiled at him, she would be a dog!

The dinner begins.

King Xuan arrived late, the smell of alcohol had not dissipated, and his cheeks were flushed.

Emperor Jingde was furious on the spot, "Xuan'er! What's the matter with you? You didn't know there was a summer festival today? How dare you get so drunk! Why didn't Princess Xuan come?"

King Xuan was so scolded that he could not lift his head. He quickly leaned over to admit his mistake and explained that Princess Xuan was expecting a child and was unwell.

Emperor Jingde did not want to teach King Xuan too hard in public, and fined him three months' salary, and then let him return to his throne.

King Xuan received the punishment and thanked him. When he stood up, King Xuan Meng Ying glanced at him. It was a look that made people feel chilly and goosebumps all over their body.

Meng Ying frowned slightly, but did not look away. Their eyes met in the air, and the air seemed to smell like gunpowder smoke.

Bai Zhi also saw the vicious look in King Xuan's eyes, and thought that it must be because Shen Qingli still had Meng Ying in his heart that caused the rift between the two.

Who else can you blame! Meng Ying can only blame himself!

Bai Zhi and Meng Ying sat side by side. The more they thought about it, the more angry they became. They simply changed the positions of the food on the table. The vegetarian food went to Meng Ying's side, and the meat food went to Bai Zhi.

After doing all this, he was still not satisfied, so he got drunk and drew a 38-point line on the long desk. And gave Meng Ying a "I'll beat you to death if you dare to cross the line" look.

How could Meng Ying not know what she was doing? She also got drunk and wrote the words "Tiger Wife" on the long desk.

At the dinner, after Emperor Jingde exchanged a few pleasantries, there was a standard song and dance performance.

Bai Zhi herself is not interested in singing and dancing, nor is she familiar with music.

But today's dancer is dressed in an exotic costume, with an open waist and deep eyebrows. Her beauty is eye-catching and touching. They were in the center of the boat, dancing to the music and twisting their slender waists. Bai Zhi couldn't help but stare at them.

Even Bai Zhi couldn't help but take a few more glances, and the men present felt their blood boil and were ready to move.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but glance at Meng Ying, but she happened to meet Meng Ying's misty eyes. Bai Zhi blushed for a moment and looked away hurriedly.

Emperor Jingde saw that it was almost time, so he made an excuse and took the queen away, leaving only the royal family and nobles in the cabin.

I don’t know whether they arranged it like this deliberately or just let nature take its course. These dancers twisted and twisted around the men and served them wine and food. Meng Ying is no exception.

Bai Zhi glanced at the other people in the banquet hall. Well, fortunately, even though his eyes lingered, he didn't move his hands or feet, which is considered decent.

Except the prince! Everyone hugged him.

A dancing girl slowly came to Meng Ying's side, smiling coquettishly and with a sweet voice, "Your Highness Prince Ning, I will pour you some wine."

Meng Ying frowned slightly, then stretched out her finger to cover the mouth of the cup, and said, "The girl is a believer in Taloma. I don't believe in the god Taloma. Please understand."

When the girl heard this, the corners of her raised lips dropped at the speed of light, then she stood up and turned away.

The girl's change of expression was so shocking that Bai Zhi was speechless.

At the same time, I have to admire Meng Ying. This reason for rejecting people is really original!
