This is a difficult thing to say, and no answer is appropriate.
Jun Wuchen simply pretended not to hear and asked directly: "What's the matter with you?"
"..." No matter how thick-skinned Yi Shuiyue was, she couldn't answer the question for a while.
She has something to say, but she can't...can't let her stand in the hall and say it, right?
This is too demeaning.
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, His Highness King Jing was reluctant to speak.
Li Chengshou had no choice but to smooth things over and said: "Fairy Shuiyue, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk."
"Thank you." Yi Shuiyue finally came down the steps, nodded lightly, and walked towards Jun Wuchen naturally, wanting to sit down on the empty chair next to him.
Jun Wuchen frowned slightly.
Li Chengshou stopped him with a smile: "Fairy, this seat... is not yours. Please sit here."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a seat that was also in a high position but far away from Jun Wuchen.
Yi Shuiyue stopped, her eyes dark.
She said nothing.
The maid behind her stood up with an indifferent face, "Li Chengshou, what do you mean? Aren't we fairies worthy of sitting next to His Highness?"
"No, no! That's not what I meant, fairy, don't get me wrong."
Li Chengshou explained awkwardly, "It's just that you don't know. According to the custom of our Cangyun Kingdom, the seat next to His Highness is reserved for the Princess. It is inconvenient for others to sit down."
This is not a matter of seating, but a symbol of status.
If you are not the princess you are marrying, why should you be treated as an equal to His Highness?
Isn’t this a dove occupying a magpie’s nest?
Li Chengshou said it euphemistically, but that’s what he meant.
The corners of Jun Wuchen's lips were slightly raised, his eyes were lowered indifferently, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Yi Shuiyue looked at him steadily, with a trace of grievance and embarrassment flashing in her eyes.
The maid raised her eyebrows with an angry look on her face: "Bold! You..."
"That's all, it's just a seat. Just do as the Romans do, why bother?" Yi Shuiyue raised her hand slightly and calmly stopped the maid's attack. Her dark eyes swept over Li Chengshou, and a coldness flashed through her eyes.
"Trouble with guarding the city."
"Don't dare, please, fairy." Li Chengshou felt an inexplicable chill down his spine and lowered his head unconsciously, feeling a little scared.
Yi Shuiyue turned around gracefully, walked to the position directed by Li Chengshou and sat down, half a hall away from Jun Wuchen.
Her fingers in her sleeves were clenched tightly, but her face was calm and there was a hint of apology in her tone: "I came here specifically to apologize to my senior brother."
"Oh?"
Jun Wuchen calmly put down the tea cup and raised his eyes, "What are you apologizing for?"
Yi Shuiyue said apologetically: "Last night on the city tower, due to the mistake of the two maids, they failed to take care of the two children. As a result, the child named Xiao Mo accidentally fell off the city wall and was frightened. Shuiyue deeply apologizes."
/p>
After a pause, she looked sideways at the two maids and said in a cold voice, "You two, why don't you kneel down! Kowtow to your senior brother and apologize!"
The two maids fell to their knees heavily on the ground without saying a word.
He kowtowed and apologized: "My maid has neglected her duties, please punish me!"
Jun Wuchen looked at the two maids with faint eyes without saying a word.
Yi Shuiyue observed the words, and her voice became softer, full of deep guilt: "Senior brother, these two maids are useless, they can't even look after a child, and they deserve to be punished for making such a big mistake. No matter what senior brother wants to do,
Shuiyue will never complain about it."
What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring, but the words just fell.
