A group of people get together, just eating and drinking, and dancers and actors taking turns.
Princess Qinghe was sitting on the main seat. From time to time, people came up to toast and talk, and she always greeted them with a smile and a good mood.
In the past, only Yan Ling would attend such a banquet, so the position next to Princess Qinghe would definitely belong to him.
There will also be people who come to please him and chat with him.
Tonight, Princess Qinghe did not leave a place for him at all, nor did she ask him to step forward.
He had no choice but to sit alone in the corner.
The girl next to Shen Xingwan looked at her and said curiously, "You are Miss Shen who is engaged to the Crown Prince."
Shen Xingwan smiled, acquiescing.
"I heard that the Crown Prince was seriously injured this time." The girl looked at her with sympathetic eyes.
Before he was born, Fu Jingchao was naturally a highly-coveted husband candidate based on his family background and appearance.
Now, it is said that there is a high probability that she is a loser, and no one wants to marry a loser.
Shen Xingwan said calmly, "We won't know until we go to Beijing."
This problem is avoided cleverly.
Seeing that Shen Xingwan was unwilling to talk more, the girl didn't continue to ask questions.
After three rounds of drinking, a richly dressed young man walked up to Shen Xingwan, raised his wine and said lightly, "Come here, beauty, let's have a drink!"
Shen Xingwan sat still, Mu Cheng said dissatisfiedly, "Speaking of which, the prince and I are also old acquaintances, won't the future prince and concubine not give me this face?"
It was obvious that he was here to cause trouble for her.
"I'm not good at drinking." Shen Xingwan refused.
Mu Cheng banged a pot of wine and placed it in front of her, "I insist on you drinking it today!"
Mu Cheng, the nephew of the Queen Mother. He and Fu Jingchao had not dealt with each other since childhood, and they had deep grudges.
In terms of status, Fu Jingchao was the Queen Mother's only daughter's child, and he was more prestigious than he was in front of the Queen Mother.
In terms of ability, Fu Jingchao is naturally better than him, the number one dude in the capital.
Having been suppressed by someone he hates for so long, he is the happiest when something happens to Fu Jingchao this time.
"What's the reason why the young master insists on asking me to drink?" Shen Xingwan asked tentatively. For a while, she really didn't understand what the young master in the flashy clothes was here for.
Mu Cheng slapped his hand on the table, "Drink as long as you are told. There is so much nonsense!"
The girl at Shen Xingwan's table turned pale with fright. Others were also alerted by the movement and all looked over.
No one spoke, and no one came to help Shen Xingwan. They all looked like they were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Lu Yu said coldly, "Since Mr. Mu has drunk too much, go back and rest early."
As he spoke, he motioned to the attendants behind him to help Mu Cheng.
Mu Cheng, who is used to being a promiscuous person, has always had a bad temper, not to mention he was drunk this time.
He stretched out his hand and pushed Lu Yu's man away, staring at Shen Xingwan with scarlet eyes, "Drink or not, don't even think about going out tonight if you don't."
Shen Xingwan narrowed his eyes, "Mr. Mu, you insist on me drinking it, right?"
He had already guessed the identity of the person in front of him from the title of the fourth prince.
Mu Cheng grinned and said, "Hey, Fu Jingchao is very lucky to look like this."
As soon as he thought that the girl in front of him was Fu Jingchao's future concubine, Mu Cheng became extremely excited.
Shen Xingwan reached out and picked up the bottle of wine on the table and stood up.
"Does the girl have to have a drink with me?" Mu Cheng began to talk nonsense with a hint of drunkenness.
Shen Xingwan smiled slightly, raised his hand and poured a pot of wine over Mu Cheng's head.
The people present took a breath and were shocked by her actions.
Mu Cheng froze on the spot.
Until Shen Xingwan let go, the jade wine bottle fell to the ground, making a shattering sound.
Mu Chengcai looked at Shen Xingwan in disbelief, "How dare you do this to me! I'm not done with you today!"
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to pull Shen Xingwan away. Shen Xingwan kicked the table in front of him and said coldly, "If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will die or you will die tonight!"
When Shen Xingwan said this, his eyes were full of cruelty.
Everyone was shocked by her. They never expected that a girl who looked extremely delicate would be so brave.
"Threatening me, right?" Mu Cheng wiped the wine from his face, "I am the least afraid of threats."
His anger was aroused, and Mu Cheng stretched out his hand towards Shen Xingwan's neck. He had to do something with her tonight.
Dongqing was on the side ready to move, but Shen Xingwan's eyes signaled her not to move.
He took out the dagger from his sleeve and rushed towards Mu Cheng without mercy.
Mu Cheng was so frightened that he quickly retreated and fell to the ground to escape the knife.
The wine was frightened and he woke up for a while. He looked at Shen Xingwan in horror. He could feel that Shen Xingwan had just struck a fatal blow. If he had hid a little later, the knife would have fallen on him.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"The girl has such a bad temper." The young master Mu Cheng usually played with said to ease the situation.
Shen Xingwan sneered, "It turns out that this is the good education of a high-ranking son in Shengjing. I finally learned it today, and it is indeed extraordinary."
What Shen Xingwan said was strange and full of irony.
This incident was obviously Mu Cheng's fault, as he openly molested the young girl who was already engaged.
Shen Xingwan glanced at the people present little by little, "Fu Jingchao is disabled, not dead!"
The warning was so clear that no one dared to speak for a while.
Shen Xingwan was right. Even if he was really disabled, as long as the Zhennan Palace was still there, he would still have confidence.
What's more, Fu Jingchao's character is truly ruthless when he takes action.
After Mu Cheng was frightened for a moment, he frowned and said, "Do you know who I am? You dare to use a knife on me!"
"Don't think that useless Fu Jingchao can protect you now!"
Shen Xingwan held the knife in his hand, and the blade glowed with a cold white light under the light of the lamp.
Shen Xingwan looked at Mu Cheng condescendingly, "If you dare to say one more word, you will be responsible for the consequences. As for the Queen Mother, I will personally go to apologize after I enter the capital."
Mu Cheng was also good at boxing and kicking. He jumped up from the ground and attacked Shen Xingwan.
After more than half a year of special training, Shen Xingwan saw through Mu Cheng's pretentiousness at a glance and subdued him quickly and accurately within three moves.
Mu Cheng kicked him on the knee, half-kneeling on the ground, speechless in pain.
Shen Xingwan broke his hand with a click.
The scene was completely silent. Yan Ling sat in the corner and looked at her with burning eyes.
When things got so bad, Princess Qinghe finally stood up and spoke, "It's all a misunderstanding. Mr. Mu just drank too much. Girl, don't be angry."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Qinghe, "Thank you for your hospitality tonight, Princess. I will keep it in mind."
Princess Qinghe's face darkened.
"I originally thought the princess was different, but now it seems she is nothing more than that." Shen Xingwan left a meaningful sentence.
He walked directly around Mu Cheng who was lying on the ground and walked out the door.
