Chapter 314 The king’s concubine is Jin Gui

After returning, Xiao Qingqing's nerves relaxed, but due to the long-term high tension, she suddenly felt tired. However, seeing that her clothes were covered in blood, she decided to take a bath first.

Feng Qi was waiting by the side, looking at the blood stains on Xiao Qingqing's clothes and blaming herself: "It's all my subordinates' fault for not being able to stay with the princess."

"Who would have thought that we would encounter such a thing when we went out to play. Besides, I left you here to take care of the patients. Why do you blame yourself?" Xiao Qingqing heard her choking and immediately spoke to comfort her.

Despite Xiao Qingqing's words, Feng Qi still lowered her head.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "The king invites the prince and princess to have a meal in the main hall."

Xiao Qingqing didn't hear Feng Molin's response outside. She thought she was taking a bath, so she sent Feng Qi to respond.

"The prince and princess are taking a bath at the moment and will leave in a moment." Feng Qi went to the outhouse and looked at the maid at the door.

The maid responded and left.

Just when Feng Qi was about to continue helping Xiao Qingqing bathe, she saw that Xiao Qingqing had already put on clothes and came out with her hair down.

"Please help the princess dress up," Feng Qi said.

Xiao Qingqing did not refuse, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, but her heart was all about what happened today. Everything was too coincidental, but she didn't know whether that person wanted her own life or Zoe's life.

No matter which one it is, they are not dead, I am afraid that the people behind the scenes will not let it go.

"Princess, princess?"

Feng Qi's call suddenly came to her ears, and Xiao Qingqing realized that she was distracted. Her hair had already been combed into a simple bun with a hosta inserted diagonally into the bun, which was simple and elegant.

"You are really smart with your hands. You can kill people with a knife, and you can also comb your hair so beautifully." Xiao Qingqing praised.

Feng Qi smiled. In order to serve Xiao Qingqing, she specially learned these skills, and now they are in use.

During the conversation, Feng Molin also came over and had put on clean clothes. Xiao Qingqing informed him of the news that the maid had just come to invite him, and the two of them went to the main hall.

In the main hall, almost everyone was here, Xiao Qingqing and Feng Molin were late in the end.

"There is such a big arrogance in our southern border. We really don't take our southern border seriously." During the dinner, Min Minge's eyes fell on the two of them and sneered coldly.

"Sister Princess, you worked hard to save me today. What's wrong, why you came a little late because you were tired?" During the dinner, Zoe replied rudely after hearing Min Minge's words.

The King of Nanjing also heard about what happened in the mountains and forests today, and heard the dispute between them, and said: "I do have the prince and the princess to thank you today, not to mention it is just a casual meal, there is no need to be formal."

After the King of Nanjing signaled Xiao Qingqing and the others to take their seats, the meal was passed on.

When Zoe saw Xiao Qingqing sitting on the left side of her, she also smiled and said hello.

However, Feng Molin saw this scene and sat expressionlessly on the right side of Xiao Qingqing, separating Xiao Qingqing and Zoe.

The expression on Zoe’s face suddenly froze, a little aggrieved.

Seeing that Feng Molin was jealous, Xiao Qingqing couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, the servants also brought today's dinner. In addition to the normal beef and mutton, there were also all kinds of fried insects. Thinking about what happened at the bottom of the cliff today, Xiao Qingqing couldn't help but frown. Before she tasted it, she felt My stomach was churning. Xiao Qingqing looked around. People around him had a special liking for bugs and ate them with gusto. Even Zoe, who was afraid of bugs at the bottom of the cliff before, didn't feel any discomfort when seeing these bugs.

Even though there was beef and mutton on the table, the moment she saw the bugs, Xiao Qingqing lost her appetite and ultimately did not move her chopsticks.

Even Feng Molin simply ate some beef and mutton.

Xiao Qingqing's behavior also fell into Min Minge's eyes, and she said sarcastically: "Why doesn't the princess eat? Do you think our food in the south is not delicious?"

"I didn't say it, but I just couldn't accept these bugs for the moment." Xiao Qingqing explained lightly.

"What's wrong with these bugs? It would be nice to have something to eat in our southern territory. Not only do these bugs have high nutritional value, they are also found by our southern territory with great effort. However, the princess doesn't look down on them. I think she still doesn't look down on our southern territory. ." When Min Minge said this, his eyes were vaguely looking at the high-ranking King of the South.

As expected, the Southern King's face darkened.

Xiao Qingqing also noticed the change in the Southern Realm King's expression, and explained: "I think the second prince and concubine misunderstood. I just encountered too many bugs today, and I couldn't accept them for a while. What does it have to do with the Southern Realm."

"Prince Zoe also encountered a poisonous insect. Why can't you eat it while others can eat it?" Minminge sneered and lifted Zoe out while she was eating.

Zoe was slightly stunned, not understanding what it had to do with herself.

"My princess is precious. If she doesn't like eating these things, she won't eat them!" At this time, Feng Molin said coldly. Regardless of the presence of the King of the South, he pushed away the plate with insects in front of Xiao Qingqing without hesitation.

In an instant, the atmosphere above the hall became tense.

Xue Na glared angrily at the culprit, and then said coldly: "The second prince, as a Central Plains person, the princess never eats these things. She was frightened today. Now she naturally has no appetite after seeing these bugs. It’s not like we are used to eating bugs and don’t think it’s a big deal. What the second prince and concubine said is too disrespectful of people and the eating habits of the Central Plains.”

When Min Minge was still feeling complacent about embarrassing Xiao Qingqing, she became even more angry when she heard Xue Na's words and slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the table.

"That's enough! Shut up!"

Before Minminge could get angry, Zuo Zhen immediately scolded him.

I saw that King Nanjing had stopped eating, and his face was so gloomy that it could drip ink.

Hearing Zuo Zhen's voice, although Min Minge was displeased, she was also worried about being punished and quickly shut up.

The hall became eerily quiet for a moment, and everyone stopped eating, looking at each other and not daring to make any other move.

"It seems that I didn't think it through well. Someone, please remove the insects from the prince and princess and replace them with some fresh fruits and vegetables." The King of the South Realm ordered his servants.

The servants immediately removed the bugs in front of Xiao Qingqing and Feng Molin, and soon brought fruits and vegetables, which also diluted the discomfort in Xiao Qingqing's stomach a lot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Qingqing stood up and saluted.

The Southern King nodded slightly and then moved his chopsticks.

Everyone was relieved when they saw this, and the atmosphere in the hall was relieved.

In order to give face to the King of the South, Xiao Qingqing suppressed her initial discomfort and ate some food, and finally left with Feng Molin after the banquet was over.
