Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 30

Xie Wanqing kept circling these thoughts in her mind, and gradually realized that she used to live too simple, or too stupid and ignorant.

She thought that the intrigues were done by inferior people, because they had nothing, so they wanted to fight, and they wanted to fight. People of noble background like her don't need to do it for some vulgar "fame and fortune" "And I've tried my best.

Because as soon as you reach out your hand, someone will come to your door, why do you need to fight to the death with others?
So even if someone harmed her, she never realized it. She forcibly raised two hungry wolves by her side, and finally swallowed her alive, and she came to her senses.

Now that she has cleared her head and looked at the people and things around her, it is already a different scene.

I finally understood what the phrase "people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes" meant.

Even if they are as noble as concubines or princes, they still have to fight, and the higher they are, the harder it is to stop fighting, because if you don't fight, someone will push you down and replace you!
The so-called sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat... When others are desperately chasing forward, but you want to stay where you are, the final result will inevitably be washed off the cliff by the flood, and you will never recover.

After living a new life, she finally learned the intrigue that she once hated so much, but this feeling is not bad, because she knows that she is no longer afraid!
On the second day, Xie Wanqing dressed up a bit, changed into a very inconspicuous clothes, and went out with the coffin.

Liuxiang Pavilion is the most famous restaurant in the capital, it doesn't open in the busy city like other restaurants, but chose a secluded mansion instead.

Pavilions, terraces and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by mountains and rivers, are very elegant.

The guests who come here are either rich or noble, and not everyone is eligible to enter here. If you want to stay in Xiangge for a banquet, you have to book a private room in advance, and you will not be entertained if you come late.

Celebrities in the capital often come to this small gathering for pleasure. Firstly, the food and drinks here are exquisite and delicious. Secondly, it is quiet here without being disturbed by the outside world. If they want to talk about something, they don't worry about being overheard.

The private rooms are all independent small courtyards with different styles and full of fun.

King Jing ordered "Yongxu Xiaozhu", a very elegant and low-key room, with simple and unpretentious furnishings, but it gives people a very peaceful and fresh feeling.

Xie Wanqing came a little earlier, so that expert did not show up.

While sipping tea, Xie Wanqing repeated in her heart the current symptoms of Aunt Xue that Su Wen told her, for fear that she would not be able to explain clearly to others later.

Lingshu was waiting outside, and knocked on the door after a while, Xie Wanqing knew it was someone.

"Please come in!" Xie Wanqing stood up and took two steps forward, ready to welcome people.

Lingshu pushed open the door and led people in. Only then did Xie Wanqing realize that it wasn't just one person who came.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly saluted, and said respectfully: "I have seen His Highness King Jing, and my Highness is blessed!"

Although he was puzzled, Xie Wanqing didn't dare to behave rudely. Why did King Jing go there in person for such a small matter?

King Jing raised his hand and said, "Forget it!"

Only then did Xie Wanqing straighten up, but she still lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Xuanyuan Jue's face, she really didn't know how to speak when he came like this.

King Jing sat down and saw that Xie Wanqing was still in place, frowned slightly, and said, "Sit down!"

Xie Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then walked to her original position and sat down.

King Jing saw that she was a bit restrained, so he said to the middle-aged man beside him: "Miss Xie, this is Mu Zhen, who has some research on the head lowering technique!"

Muzhen is a middle-aged man, he looks no different from the Central Plains people, with a kind and humble smile on his face.

It was difficult for Xie Wanqing to associate such a kind-hearted elder with a head-bending master, because in her opinion, head-bending is too evil and poisonous.Those who make and use lower heads are definitely not good people!
Mu Zhen took a step forward humbly, made a bow, and said: "Mu Zhen has met Miss Xie, if you have something to do, please tell her!"

Xie Wanqing hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I'm asking for something, I dare not mention the word order!"

Mu Zhen glanced at King Jing, and there seemed to be some doubts in his eyes. King Jing is his master, and he has been with King Jing for many years, and he always knew that his master would not easily reveal his true identity to outsiders , since he is willing to bring him to see this lady, most likely this is the person that King Jing values!
King Jing sat there with an indifferent face, like a decoration, and didn't respond at all.

Xie Wanqing asked Lingshu to pour a cup of tea for King Jing, and then said: "His Royal Highness King Jing, I have taken the liberty to ask you to come to your house, and I trouble you to come here personally. I am really sorry, I will replace it with tea." Wine, thank you for your kindness!"

Xuanyuan Jue just glanced at Xie Wanqing, didn't say anything, but took a sip from the teacup, put it down again, and said, "This king is just on the way, and it just so happens that it's time to eat!"

Xie Wanqing's smile froze for a moment, did King Jing's mansion only eat lunch at this hour?
Mu Zhen also had a bit of surprise on his face, the prince didn't have lunch today, so he came here to eat?Could it be... But obviously the cooks in their palace are much better than those in Liuxiang Pavilion!
But the master said so, what can he do, tell Miss Xie that their prince is not on the way, but just came here for a meal?

After thinking about it, Mu Zhen felt that it was better to keep silent, otherwise he would not be able to bear the master's attack!

Xie Wanqing smiled dryly, and said: "Lingshu, since this is the case, hurry up and pass on the dishes, don't make the prince wait for a long time, if there is anything, let's talk about it after eating!"

King Jing's stomach let out a low-key and melodious buzz just right.

"Ah...Miss Xie, you are so considerate, Muzhen is so hungry, look at my stomach is growling!" Muzhen quickly took the responsibility on himself, thinking that he was really clever .

Xie Wanqing laughed and said, "It's all because I didn't think carefully, I should get someone ready earlier!"

King Jing glanced at Mu Zhen, with a very strange expression on his face, but he didn't say anything after all.

After a while, all the dishes were served, Xie Wanqing and Xuanyuan Jue were sitting opposite each other, Lingshu was serving the dishes for Xie Wanqing, and Mu Zhen was sitting on the left hand side of King Jing, eating every mouthful, who told him to come Already had lunch?
Now I have to eat with the prince again, it really hurts his stomach!

Xie Wanqing also didn't have much appetite, but she was too embarrassed not to eat one bite. Although the dishes in Liuxiang Pavilion were good, she had already eaten them at home, and it would lose its taste if she tried them again!
Only King Jing ate in silence, Xie Wanqing and Mu Zhen both stopped their chopsticks and glanced at each other, seeing embarrassment and helplessness in each other's eyes.

King Jing ate for a while before realizing that Xie Wanqing and Mu Zhen hadn't eaten anymore, he frowned and asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
