Chapter 213 Is she a very mean person?
Xie Nanyuan withdrew his gaze after losing sight of the figure, sneering in his heart: Ha! Now he's feeling scared!
You've been on guard against him and avoiding him all this time. Aren't you very brave?
In fact, from the moment Xie Nanyuan stepped into the hall, his eyes fell on Shen Qionghua.
He had excellent eyesight and was standing at a high place, so he could naturally see Shen Qionghua's little movements clearly.
Xie Nanyuan couldn't explain what was going on in his mind. To be honest, when he saw Shen Qionghua looking at him calmly, he felt a little annoyed.
But when he saw the other party shrinking back a step, he felt a little bit of joy in his heart.
Why does he feel happier when others are afraid of him and avoid him?
This was the first time Xie Nanyuan had a woman he liked. He didn't know whether his psychological reaction was normal or whether what he did was right. He just followed his heart.
Anyway, he felt that even if Shen Qionghua avoided him, it was better than being indifferent to him.
He hadn't seen her for more than a month, and he was sure to give her a good scolding today.
Thinking of this, a few expectations surged in my heart, and the corners of my mouth slowly rose.
This year's Emperor's birthday banquet was no different from previous years. As usual, the envoys, important officials and confidants of the court, concubines of the harem, and princes and princesses toasted the emperor and gave speeches.
As for the rest of the people, they are not qualified to toast the emperor and have to wait until the emperor remembers someone before they can come forward.
Concubine Zhou and Prince An did not dare to cause any trouble openly at such a banquet, nor did they dare to spoil the fun of the emperor's birthday banquet. They were probably afraid that the emperor would not remember what Prince An had done before. It was rare for them to behave themselves.
Therefore, Shen Qionghua felt very comfortable staying there, and having Luo Xiyao by her side could also help to relieve her boredom.
The two spoke in low voices and moved in small movements, so the people sitting in the upper seats couldn't really tell that they were talking quietly.
However, when the palace maid was pouring wine, she accidentally spilled it on Luo Xiyao's shoes, and even her socks were wet. She felt so uncomfortable that she had to go downstairs to change.
Shen Qionghua frowned subconsciously. After all, it was better to be careful when encountering such things in the palace. No one knew whether someone was plotting against her.
Luo Xiyao looked unhappy, and it was obvious that she was recalling her experience in Princess Anle's mansion more than a year ago.
Gao Lei almost succeeded that time. If Luo Xiyao was soaked and carried ashore by Gao Lei, she would be forced to marry Gao Lei.
Although Luo Xiyao is cheerful, she is still a girl waiting to be married. That incident still left some traces in her heart.
Her face turned a little pale.
Shen Qionghua couldn't bear to see her like this, so she stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
It's safer if two people go.
Luo Xiyao immediately gave Shen Qionghua a grateful look.
The two of them quietly withdrew from the banquet and were led by the palace maids to a prepared room to change their shoes and socks.
Fortunately, everything went well and no accidents happened.
It was not until Luo Xiyao changed her shoes and socks and the two opened the door that the person at the door changed from the little palace maid to... Prince Rui.
Seeing Xie Nanyuan standing at the door, Luo Xiyao couldn't wrap her mind around what was happening and asked stupidly, "Cousin, why are you here?"
The faint smile on Shen Qionghua's face froze, and she silently hid behind Luo Xiyao.
Xie Nanyuan's face was expressionless, and his tone was filled with gnashing of teeth. "Ha! You've been hiding for over a month, and now you're scared?"
"Can she still protect you?"
She had clearly promised not to hide from him, and he didn't force her.
As a result, as soon as he turned and left, she was on guard against him as if he were a wolf.
This little liar!
Xie Nanyuan stared at Shen Qionghua's pretty face, feeling both angry and amused, with resentment and longing mixed together. As a result, he found Luo Xiyao, who was standing between them, particularly annoying.
Luo Xiyao also reacted at this moment.
What about the palace maid accidentally spilling the wine, what about being afraid of someone else plotting against her? The person who plotted against her from the beginning to the end was her cousin.
My cousin wanted to see Qionghua, so he did this. He had planned that he would definitely let Qionghua accompany him to change his shoes and socks, so that he could see Qionghua.
Ah!
A sense of absurdity arose in Luo Xiyao's heart.
My cousin was in love with Qionghua and was reluctant to pour the wine on her, so he asked the palace maid to pour it on himself.
how?
Is she some kind of mean person?
She is the only daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. She was named Princess Pingjing when she was born. She is loved and cared for by others!
She is his cousin, but he is really rude to her just to meet the person he likes!
I'm afraid that in her cousin's heart, she is not even a human being, but just a tool for him to see Qionghua!
Luo Xiyao is angry...
The kind that gets really angry!
She grabbed Shen Qionghua's hand, who was hiding behind her, and said to Xie Nanyuan, "Qionghua, let's go! Don't be afraid of him! I'll protect you! Let's see what he can do to you!"
After he plotted against her, if she could still help him get what he wanted, then her surname would not be Luo!
Shen Qionghua's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, feeling extremely grateful to Luo Xiyao for her bravery at this moment.
Seeing Shen Qionghua nodding, Xie Nanyuan was so angry that he laughed out loud. He really laughed out loud.
Luo Xiyao and Shen Qionghua's hearts trembled at the same time.
Especially for Luo Xiyao, after years of oppression, it is difficult for her to change her habits.
But he had just made the big promise and suddenly became timid. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing in front of his friends?
Luo Xiyao felt that she should persevere, perhaps this would be her first step towards successfully overcoming the resistance.
"Qionghua, let's go!" he said in a vague tone.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard. Suddenly, Xie Nanyuan's smile faded, and he said in a sinister tone, "Luo Xiyao, you turned your elbows outward several times. Is it because I didn't punish you?"
"How about this, I want to settle the score with you about that time you lent her the secret guards and had them come to the palace to monitor me? Hmm?"
Luo Xiyao's legs felt weak. She whispered in Shen Qionghua's ear, "Qionghua, I've thought about it carefully. Only you and your cousin can explain this matter clearly. It's better for me not to get involved."
"Don't worry, cousin won't hurt you."
She finished speaking quickly, then let go of Shen Qionghua's hand and ran away.
Shen Qionghua: “…”
