Xie Ruzhuo followed the instructions and put a piece of shrimp in his mouth, chewed it carefully and then said with a smile, "It's delicious."
Xiao Junxi watched her eating with a smile. Although she said nothing, her doting smile could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.
The two of them were so affectionate and affectionate, which made the people beside them so angry that they wanted to jump three feet in the air.
Ever since the Shen family became like that, Shen Jingci couldn't eat or sleep well in the past two days. While thinking about the power of the Shen family, she also hated the Xie family for putting the Shen family in such a passive situation.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Shen Jingci has just dressed herself up and is in a better mood. But after seeing Qin Wanyi in red palace clothes, her mood dropped to freezing point.
What she is like today is all thanks to the Xie family!
As soon as she thought of this, Shen Jingci felt like she wanted to bite off those silver teeth, and when she looked at Xie Ruzhuo, she felt full of hatred.
"In such a large public, it is better to show restraint in respecting the princess. It is the orthodoxy for women to eat without talking or sleeping without talking."
Xie Ruzhuo was eating when she heard flies buzzing beside her ears. When she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Shen Jingci again.
Xiao Junhan is older than Xiao Junxi, so the two families are next to each other. And Shen Jingci was sitting on the right, even closer to him.
Hearing what she said, Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly and asked, "Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, even the father has said that the whole world will celebrate it, which is naturally different from the past. Does the concubine have any objections to the father's words?"
Hearing this, Shen Jingci immediately sneered and said, "Of course I don't dare. I just want to remind Princess Jing that this person has missteps and mistakes. You should be more careful when doing bad things. Don't do too many bad things one day. There will be retribution." accurate!"
"Oh? Concubine Lao also wants to give you some advice. I also want to know what bad things I have done." The smile on Xie Ruzhuo's face never faded, but it actually made Shen Jingci choke.
Shen Jingci's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth in a low voice, "Xie Ruzhuo, let me tell you, don't get too proud too early! The Shen family is today thanks to you, but this reincarnation of heaven will have its own retribution, be careful of retribution coming to you. It’s time to thank the family!”
She said this not loudly, and the two of them could only hear it if they were close to each other. But Xiao Junxi was right next to Xie Ruzhuo, so she naturally heard it clearly.
Just as Xiao Junxi was about to speak, she saw Xie Ruzhuo smile coldly, and then said in surprise, "The Shen family is collaborating with the enemy and treason. The emperor was merciful and only arrested one member of the Shen family and did not implicate you. Such a broad-minded father, Do you still question his decision?"
When Xie Ruzhuo spoke, he did not deliberately lower his voice, so Xiao Junhan, who was talking to others, also heard it.
Xiao Junhan turned around and saw Shen Jingci's face filled with a stormy look. Although I don't know what she said, Xie Ruzhuo's words clearly refer to the Shen family's affairs. Xiao Junhan immediately sat over, trying to cover up the matter.
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruzhuo looked at Xiao Junhan again and pointedly said, "But that's right. Fortunately, the husband you married is the prince of the dynasty and the biological son of the father. If your husband was an ordinary person, wouldn't he be killed by you? Is the Shen family in trouble?"
Her words successfully closed Xiao Junhan's open mouth.
"Xie Ruzhuo, what do you mean?" Shen Jingci is not stupid. Xie Ruzhuo's words are obviously to sow discord, but what she is saying now is the truth, and it is a provocation, and it has succeeded.
Xie Ruzhuo shook his head and smiled, "It's not interesting. It's just that the concubine kindly reminded me, and I also want to remind you. After all, even if you are marrying the prince of the current dynasty, treason is a serious crime. There is such a concubine. It’s just a matter of keeping the concubine at home, but if she is still affectionate and affectionate, there is no guarantee that the father will not have something in mind, right? Concubine, do you think my analysis is correct? "
Xie Ruzhuo had a smile on his face, and when he said this, he even approached her kindly. It not only made Shen Jingci hear clearly, but also made Xiao Junhan not miss a word.
Shen Jingci secretly resented it, but she couldn't say anything to refute it. She could only hold the handkerchief tightly in her hands and break off the cushion under her body, wishing to break off a piece of it.
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruzhuo felt secretly happy, and then he sat upright in his seat again and said, "But the concubine is right, she eats and sleeps without talking, so please don't disturb me anymore."
After saying that, Xie Ruzhuo turned his head to Xiao Junxi and ignored the furious Shen Jingci.
Shen Jingci stole the chicken but lost the rice. Looking at Xiao Junhan, she actually sat next to Qin Wanyi, looking like a deeply loving couple!
At this time, Shen Jingci was completely unable to eat. When Xie Ruzhuo said these words today, the affairs of her Shen family might become even more uncertain!
Xie Ruzhuo didn't care about this. As soon as she turned around, she saw Xiao Junxi looking at her with a smile on her lips, as if she was looking at a naughty child.
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately blushed and whispered, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Junxi adjusted her sleeves for her and said softly, "No matter what you want to do, I will be behind you."
With just one sentence, Xie Ruzhuo immediately blushed and said angrily, "Eat quickly, it's already cold."
One moment it was a fighting rooster, and the next second it was steeled into soft steel. Unfortunately, Xiao Xinning, who sneaked over from the table, had no intention of seeing Xie Ruzhuo's change of face.
She nudged over and sat next to Xie Ruzhuo regardless of Xiao Junxi's objection.
Xie Ruzhuo quickly adjusted his expression and asked in surprise, "Why is Ning'er here?"
Xiao Xinning smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, can you go out with me?"
Xiao Junxi on the side was dissatisfied that she blocked her position from Xie Ruzhuo, and immediately said, "What do the maids around you do? I need to go out to find them to accompany you."
But Xiao Xinning ignored him, only shook Xie Ruzhuo's arm and said coquettishly, "Third sister-in-law, just go with me. I have something very important to tell you."
Seeing her like this, Xie Ruzhuo sighed slightly and said with a smile, "If you keep shaking, my arm will be broken. I'll just stay with you."
After saying that, he smiled at Xiao Junxi reassuringly.
After the two of them left the main hall and were far away from the hustle and bustle inside, Xie Ruzhuo asked with a smile, "Ning'er asked me to accompany you to come out. What's the matter? Can you tell me now?"
Xiao Xinning changed from her usual cheerful attitude and said with a sly face, "I, I have fallen in love with someone."
"What?"
Xie Ruzhuo almost thought that he heard it wrong. He looked at Xiao Xining with surprise, and even put his hand on her forehead and said with a smile, "Say it again."
Xiao Xinning bit her lower lip, stamped her feet and said, "Oh, third sister-in-law, I want you to accompany me there. I have something to say to him, but I don't dare to go there myself."
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo burst into laughter. The Seventh Princess, who usually looks like a hard-working Saburo, actually has the shy side of such a little daughter, which is really eye-opening for her.
It’s just that this smile is a smile, and you must go. After all, it was rare for Xiao Xinning to beg her. Moreover, Xie Ruzhuo also had selfish motives and wanted to see who could charm the Seventh Princess Xiao Xinning.
At first, Xiao Xinning pulled her and ran very fast, but when she almost reached the place, she was a little afraid to leave.
Xie Ruzhuo looked at her calmly and said, "Don't be afraid, the third sister-in-law is behind you to support you. If it doesn't work, we will tie him up and bring him to your father. After all, it will be as you wish." "
Xiao Xinning also heard the ridicule in her words, gave her a look, and his expression relaxed.
Xie Ruzhuo waited for a while, but saw no one coming out. They asked with some confusion, "This place is in a remote place, and there doesn't seem to be anyone there. Ning'er, who are you waiting for?"
Xiao Xinning was a little hesitant, and after a while he said, "I secretly had someone put some laxatives into his portion of the meal. I guess it will take a while before he can come out."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Ruzhuo burst out laughing, "Ning'er, are you sure you like him and don't want to punish him?"
Throughout the ages, how could anyone give someone laxatives before confessing to them!
Xiao Xinning sighed and said rather distressedly, "I don't want to do this either. But if that idiot can stay in the hall from beginning to end, I have no chance at all. I'm burning the boat!"
The last sentence she said was particularly powerful.
Xie Ruzhuo held his forehead and sighed. He didn't know which family's minister was so unlucky that Xiao Xining fell in love with him.
But when Xie Ruzhuo saw who this "unlucky" minister was, he couldn't help laughing.
That man who limped over with a perpetually calm expression on his face was not Li Jie, this year's new top pick, so who was he? !
"Is he the one you like?"
Before Xie Ruzhuo could finish his question, he saw that Xiao Xunning had already become cruel, gritted his teeth, and walked towards Li Jie's feet.
Li Jie obviously did not expect Xiao Xinning to appear here. The calm expression on his face finally cracked, and then he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Li Jie, pays my respects to the Seventh Princess—"
"Okay, no need."
Xiao Xinning waved her hand, with an uneasy expression on her face as if she was about to be a thief, "Well, you are Li Jie, right?"
Li Jie didn't mind if she called him by his first name, and said with a smile, "Princess, that's right."
"I know you are." Xiao Xinning waved her hand again and said, "Um, idiot scholar, listen, this princess is attracted to you!"
Li Jie's expression changed instantly. He took a step back involuntarily and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Xinning.
"I know you are surprised, but I am not surprised. Let me tell you, I have been thinking about you for a long time. Apart from my Third Emperor brother, you are the first man that this princess has missed. So I want to confess to you, you Do you accept it?"
Xiao Xinning finished speaking in one breath. She didn't even know what she said. She just blinked her big eyes and looked at the other party like a puppy that was afraid of being abandoned.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Li Jie closing his eyes and mumbling something. When she came closer to listen, she was suddenly furious.
What the other party was saying was nothing else but, "The Master said: See not what is not right, hear not what is not right, do not speak what is wrong. Do not hear what is not right, do not hear what is wrong -"
"Li Jie!"
Xiao Xinning was so angry that she wanted to grab the other person and shake her violently, but the other person opened her eyes at this moment and said, "Princess, are you done?"
"I-"
Xiao Xinning was speechless for a moment and choked. She hid her face, put her hand down again, gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I will tell you today that if I like you, I will never give up on you!"
After Li Jie heard this, he immediately wanted to close his eyes again, but Xiao Xinning pointed at his nose and said angrily, "Don't close your eyes!"
