The prince sat at the head of the table obediently, accompanied by Jiangnan officials headed by Mr. Zhou, the Salt Patrol Censor. The table was still divided, with men on the left and women on the right.
Tonight's dishes were probably to match the atmosphere. The main course was barbecue. Shen Xingwan had a piece of roasted venison, which had a unique flavor.
I was already tired after a long day of driving, so I lowered my head and started eating.
Suddenly Qi Zhiwei tugged at the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Prince Fu is here."
"Wow!"
Shen Xingwan heard the soft sighs of the girls around him and raised his eyes to see that Fu Jingchao was wearing dark blue clothes tonight, with a jade pendant hanging around his waist.
Compared to His Royal Highness, the whole person's atmosphere is much cooler. He has a good-looking appearance that touches people's hearts and stands out.
The prince's eyes darkened, he stood up from his seat and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many days, but Jingchao's style remains the same."
Fu Jingchao bowed to the prince in a smooth manner, but the prince did not dare to take it seriously and invited him to sit next to him.
"I'll just sit here." Fu Jingchao randomly picked a seat in the front row and did not sit with the prince. The smile on the prince's face was a bit genuine.
The prince said a few words, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
Soon the results came that the famous actresses presented by the officials were performing. The famous oiran actresses from Jiangnan have always been famous all over the world. Shen Xingwan didn't know what others thought, but she was watching it with great enthusiasm.
Each one is beautiful and powerful.
The prince looked at it with admiration and praised every program, but he still looked like a gentleman with no ordinary heart.
The men discussed official affairs, flattery and relationship building, and the scene was lively.
On the lady's side, everyone was discussing jewelry, clothes, and the latest popular makeup.
In the second half of the process, most of the people were a little drunk, but Fu Jingchao still looked like he should stay away from strangers, and no one dared to provoke him easily.
At this time, the daughters of minor officials and some girls came out to perform one after another, hoping to win the eyes of the nobles present, or to be the first among all the beauties, and to become famous in one fell swoop.
A girl played a song called "Xiao", which was so ethereal and distant that almost the whole hall applauded.
Min Xizhao praised, "As expected of Jiangnan, it is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! The girls are all talented."
The girl who was praised said shyly, "It's just a small trick. Thank you Miss Zhaomin for liking it."
Min Xizhao smiled slightly and changed the topic, "Tonight is a rare opportunity. I want to see the talent of Miss Xie, who is truly famous in Jiangnan."
Xie Zhuohua picked up the wine on the table and took a sip without saying anything.
Min Xi Zhaoyan looked at her with a smile, "It is said that Miss Xie knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The atmosphere is so good tonight, why don't Miss Xie dance for us?"
The ladies from all the houses looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
It’s okay for other girls to perform, they all have their own ideas. And the people present are considered respectable, so the performance is not considered out of the ordinary.
However, Xie Zhuohua was born in the Xie family, one of the most prestigious in the world, and also carried the title of Crown Princess. To perform a dance on such an occasion would completely destroy his reputation.
The lady who was familiar with the Xie family looked at Mrs. Xie worriedly. Mrs. Xie sat calmly where she was.
The Xie family's daughter, who has been carefully cultivated, is not incapable of handling even this little matter.
Xie Zhuohua was not angry and answered loudly, "Of course all the girls in Jiangnan are good, but dancing is not necessary."
"Why?" Min Xizhao did not insist on provoking trouble blatantly, "Are you afraid or disdainful?"
These words are full of gunpowder.
"None of them." Xie Zhuohua said coldly, "If you ask me to dance, I will dance? Miss Min is really good at joking. Could it be that she drank too much and couldn't recognize her position?"
"You!" Min Xizhao slapped the table angrily.
The movement was a bit loud, and the male guests opposite also looked over.
Xie Zhuohua deliberately and calmly provoked, "Miss Min wants to see me dance, but if you ask, it's not enough."
This was a naked slap in the face. Min Xi looked at her beautiful face and hated it in his heart.
Min Xizhao, who had always had a bad temper, blurted out forcefully, "If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see if you can dance!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the table became subtle.
"Haha, Miss Min knows so much, even His Highness the Crown Prince knows it if he wants to see it." Xie Zhuohua said sarcastically.
Min Xizhao, who was burning with anger, sobered up a little and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he changed his words and said, "Of course His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see how good his future Crown Princess is."
The prince was on the throne and couldn't help scolding Min Xizhao in his heart.
Xie Zhuohua looked up at His Royal Highness, "Do you want to see it?"
There was a smile on her face, but she was sick to death in her heart. There was no need to wait for the results of the investigation. It could be seen from Min Xizhao's performance tonight that she really had a close relationship with the prince.
The prince said gently, "Of course not, Zhuo Hua's excellence is well known even without performing."
After saying that, he looked at Min Xi seriously and said righteously, "It's normal for girls to have quarrels from time to time, but it's not a good habit to talk nonsense."
This was because she was eager to clear up her relationship with Min Xizhao, and it showed that what Min Xizhao said was just her own nonsense.
Min Xizhao, who had been so arrogant just now, felt aggrieved when the prince said this. His eyes turned red and he looked at the prince aggrievedly.
It's a pity that His Highness the Crown Prince still had a cold face and didn't even look at her.
Min Xizhao endured the sadness in his heart and said, "I was talking nonsense because I drank too much. Thank you for your teaching, His Royal Highness."
This matter is considered to be in the past, and it is not certain what everyone thinks.
Min Xizhao was very quiet for the next time, but he drank one glass after another of wine on the table.
When the show finally ended, I was almost helped back.
As soon as he returned to the yard and closed the door, Min Xizhao exploded and smashed everything in the room.
The maids knew her temper, so they looked at each other and huddled in the corner, not daring to persuade her.
After Min Xizhao finished venting her anger, her confidant maid asked her to clean up the mess while advising her, "Miss, don't be angry. Madam and Master, it will make you so sad to see you like this."
Min Xizhao said unwillingly, "Obviously I was the one who met the prince first, and I was the one who fell in love with the prince!"
"Why does she, Xie Zhuohua, steal the crown prince and become the crown princess!"
She was unwilling to give in, so unwilling to give in.
The prince had clearly said that he liked her the most, and they had obviously had so many wonderful pasts.
As long as Xie Zhuohua disappears, then there will be no obstacles between them.
Min Xizhao said, "Have everything been arranged?"
The maid nodded, "Don't worry, miss!"
Min Xizhao finally calmed down and said quietly, "If there are any people who are proud of themselves, don't even think about running away. All of them will die on the mountain to feed the wolves!"
The prince is going to cause trouble, and when chaos arises, it would be best to take the opportunity to get rid of Xie Zhuohua.
The maid was a little worried, "That prince looks difficult to deal with."
Min Xizhao smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Brother Prince has already got a perfect plan."
