Chapter 45
The two climbed up the steps, crossed the gate of the Princess Mansion, and walked towards Qingfeng Lake where the banquet was held.
Qingfeng Lake divides the vast Princess Mansion into two. An arch bridge is erected on the lake, connecting the east and west banks of the Princess Mansion.There are weeping willows on the bank, the west bank is the reception desk for female guests, and the east bank is the reception desk for male guests.
On the arch bridge, Su Xi walked slowly towards the female guest seats on the west bank.Originally thought that Feng Yuan would go to the east bank, but unexpectedly this guy followed her all the way to the west bank.
Su Xi paused, turned around and stared at Feng Yuan, and said displeasedly: "Why are you following me if you don't go to the east bank?"
"I'm worried that some ignorant people will bully you, so I must stay by your side to protect you." Feng Yuan said seriously.
Su Xi rolled her eyes speechlessly.To be honest, the person who dared to bully her in this world has not yet been born.If someone doesn't have long eyes and provokes her, the unlucky one must be the other party.
"I have received your kindness. I don't need your protection, so you should hurry to the east bank. You don't even think about it. The west bank is full of women. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to be a big man sitting in the banquet?" Su Xi said.
"It's a little embarrassing. But to protect Xi'er, I don't mind." Feng Yuan made up his mind to stay by Su Xi's side.
"You don't mind me. I don't want to be the focus of everyone's attention." Su Xi said with disgust.
"If I'm not by your side, what if someone bullies you?" Feng Yuan wanted to fight for the chance to stay by Su Xi's side.
"What else can I do, of course I should fight back. You know, I always believe that fists are the truth." Su Xi said.
"Xi'er is right. Anyone who doesn't have eyes to bully you, you can fight back, and I will be responsible for the accident." Feng Yuan then walked towards the east bank step by step.
Su Xi turned around and headed to the west bank without hesitation.
"What a woman without a conscience." Feng Yuan looked at Su Xi's slender back with love and hatred.
On the west bank, the banquet is set in the water pavilion.
When Su Xi walked to the waterside pavilion, it was full of wives and girls from various prefectures who came to celebrate their birthdays.
"Miss Su, where is your seat?" A maid from the Princess Mansion stepped forward, with a hint of arrogance on her face, pointing to an empty table in the corner.This maid is Xiao Lian, the personal maid beside Princess Changning.
Su Xi looked in the direction of Xiaolian's finger. It doesn't matter if the position is at the back, but it's close to the window. Even if the window is closed, the cold wind keeps pouring in. It should be the worst position in the audience.
"This position was specially arranged by your Princess." Su Xi guessed.
The maid smiled awkwardly, led Su Xi to sit down and left.
After sitting for a while, after the two main lords, Feng Lin and Princess Changning, took their seats, the banquet officially began.
Teams of maids came in with trays of colorful, fragrant and delicious dishes, and served them one by one starting from the main table.
It took a lot of time just to serve the dishes. After all the dishes were served, Feng Lin made some opening remarks, raised a glass to drink with everyone, and the banquet officially began.
Su Xi sat in the corner, looking at the table in front of her, not to mention the dishes, she didn't even serve a cup of tea, she seemed to be forgotten.
Talking about childish behavior like this, presumably it must be Princess Changning's special order to take care of her.
A cold sneer overflowed from the corner of Su Xi's mouth.
good very good!
She, Su Xi, has lived for two lifetimes, and she has never been so humiliated.If she doesn't have to eat soon, then everyone don't want to eat.
The chill on Su Xi's face subsided, and he changed into a face with a smile like a spring flower, and walked to the center.
"Princess Chang'an, today is your birthday. I will present a dance here to cheer you up. I wish you have today every year and today every year."
If someone is willing to perform in public, Feng Lin will naturally not object, and she said with an elegant smile: "Okay. The princess will reward you for a good performance."
There are many rewards, and I really regard me as an actor who performs in public.
Su Xi laughed, making people feel a little creepy.She pulled out a soft sword from her waist, and with a movement of her wrist, she pulled out bursts of sword flowers.
As the movements of her hands became faster and faster, coupled with Deng Yun's pace, her whole body whirled like a gust of wind, making people dazzled.
Just when everyone was fascinated by watching, a scream resounded throughout the water pavilion.
"Princess, your skirt is on fire."
Princess Changning, who originally thought it was a little hot, turned her head and saw that the hem of her newly made skirt was on fire.
"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you rush to put out the fire?"
The maids frantically started to put out the fire, and they didn't know what ignited the skirt, and the fire became more and more intense.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, the water is coming." Princess Changning's personal maid, Xiao Lian, panted and ran forward with a copper basin full of water.
Su Xi, who was originally dancing the sword, quietly retreated to the corner while everyone was busy fighting the fire.Looking at the copper basin filled with water in the maid's hand, the smile on her face became even brighter.
This is a fire pellet she made with purified wine and a flammable metal powder. It can only be extinguished with sand or soil, and water will only aggravate the spread of the fire.
Sure enough, when the maid poured the water in the copper basin on Princess Changning, there was a "boom", and the fire grew wildly in an instant, igniting Princess Changning's hair.
"Ah, hair, my hair." Princess Changning shouted uncontrollably.
"Changning, calm down, take off your coat." Feng Lin was very calm, and continued: "Scissors, quickly bring the scissors."
A clever maid fetched the scissors for cutting wicks from the water pavilion and handed them to Feng Lin.
After Feng Lin took it, she swiftly cut off Princess Changning's black hair with a few clicks, and cut it shoulder-length.She would rather her beloved daughter lose the gray hair she had grown up since she was a child than disfigure her.
At the same time, with the help of the maid, Princess Changning quickly took off her outer skirt and only wore a thin middle coat.
When the crisis was resolved, Princess Changning looked at her short and uneven hair, and vented her anger on Xiao Lian.She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Lian hard, "It's useless, if it weren't for your basin of water, how could the princess's hair be burning. Come here, drag it down."
"Princess, please forgive me, please forgive me, princess." Xiao Lian knelt down and begged bitterly.
Princess Changning remained unmoved, "Hurry up and drag it on."
Xiao Lian was ruthlessly dragged down, and the result is self-evident.
Su Xi looked at all this with cold eyes. Although the fire was ignited by her hands and feet while dancing the sword, she felt that she had done nothing wrong.
To humiliate her without paying any price, how could she be worthy of her status as an evil master.
"Elder Sister is really good at tricks. You said that if I go to Changning Princess to inform you, do you think your result will be miserable?" Su Miaoqing touched Su Xi's side at some point, and whispered in her ear.
Su Xi turned her head and glanced at Su Miaoqing, with a trace of contempt in her eyes, "Do you have evidence?" This was an indirect admission.
