...
Time passed.
As the bright moon slowly rose outside the window, the doors of the Linyuan Pavilion also opened.
"Thanks for the hospitality tonight, Your Highnesses!" Jiang Ning said with a smile, cupping his hands.
"Sorry we couldn't let Lord Jiang enjoy the meal to the fullest tonight. We'll treat Lord Jiang better next time!" the Third Prince said.
"It was enjoyable enough!" Jiang Ning smiled.
He calculated roughly that what he ate alone was enough to match what everyone else combined ate at the banquet.
Asking for more would be too greedy.
A moment later.
He bid farewell to the princes and walked home alone.
"Shiqi, I thought you would go see him off!" the Third Prince looked at Ji Mingyue, smiling faintly.
"It's so late, I can't just spend the night at his place!" Ji Mingyue shook her head.
"If Shiqi wants to, it's not impossible!" the Fifth Prince Ji Mingyuan said with a light smile.
