At this moment, Prince Kang and Prince Rui, almost flanking Prince Qing, approached Bai Xilie's table.
"Imperial Brother, we've come to toast you!" Prince Kang chuckled, nudging Prince Qing with his elbow.
Prince Rui smiled warmly, "Yes, Fourth Brother is usually absent, and it's rare for the four of us to gather together. Today, no matter what, we must all drink this toast."
They gestured for Prince Qing to say something as well.
Prince Qing held his cup, but his gaze rested on Bai Zhi'er.
He had been keeping an eye on his precious little niece.
The little one was even more well-behaved than he imagined.
She didn't make any fuss, eating on her own, and even remembered to peel fava beans to share with Bai Xilie.
Prince Qing looked at Bai Xilie, "Imperial Brother, I haven't congratulated you yet on your reunion with your daughter. This cup is what I owe you; today, I'll finish it, and you may drink as you like."
With that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.
