Prince Meng grumbled, saying she might as well just call Yun Shuihan over, given that the Eighth Princess holds such a noble status. To make a special trip for Yun Shuihan might unnecessarily diminish her own standing.
However, the Eighth Princess declined, saying Yun Shuihan was her close friend, and their friendship wasn't based on status but because their personalities resonated perfectly. Moreover, she enjoyed peace and quiet, which Yun Shuihan wouldn't appreciate amidst the clamor of the feast.
Until the end, Prince Meng watched the Eighth Princess leave. Returning to her seat, she poured herself a drink. After downing a glass of strong liquor, she boldly pulled a male companion towards her and fiercely pressed her lips to his.
In front of everyone, Prince Meng seemed to utterly disregard social norms.
Dong Huiying stood in a distant corner, observing Prince Meng engrossed in her prolonged kiss with the man, and silently applauded her audacity.
