The little prince has always been unruly. He has interacted with Princess Huimin a lot in the past few days, and they all know his temper and have long been used to it.
But Xie Langhua was different. He was a gentle scholar and came from a Qingliu family. He had never been so unruly.
Xie Langhua's face was a little shy for a moment, but he didn't know how to explain it.
The little prince directly pulled him to sit down, "Brother Xie and I happened to run into each other, so we pulled him over together."
It's so natural that there are too many to say in one sentence.
If it were normal, Xie Langhua would still be able to say that the occasion was inappropriate and leave as an excuse.
But under the current circumstances, how could he leave Xie Songhua alone here.
Huimin just glanced at her brother indifferently, and then said: "You have talked so much, do you still want to eat?"
A few other people were fine, but they felt a little uncomfortable for a while and then they got better.
Zhang Wenying's face was a little unattractive. Her grandfather was the chief minister and one of the most well-known scholars in the capital.
She had been taught to abide by etiquette since she was a child, but now she felt a little uncomfortable.
But facing Princess Huimin, she could only endure the discomfort.
Princess Huimin waved at the other end, and a maid immediately went to arrange the meal delivery.
Xie Songhua said at this moment: "I didn't expect that the princess would entertain all the sisters today. I..."
"I told you not to talk so much nonsense," Huimin's eyes turned to her, without any smile on her face, she just said in her usual tone, "Today's meal is specially for you. Thank you, Miss Nanfang.
Big, I specially arranged the taste there, Miss Xie, why don’t you try it and see if it’s authentic or not.”
When a noble lady heard this, she immediately smoothed things over and said with a smile: "It turns out that it's just to thank the girl. It seems that we are all accompanying the guests. I just don't know why the princess wants to thank the girl. Let's see."
Will I have such an honor next time?"
Hearing this, Huimin's face showed a hint of coldness, and she looked at the noble girl coldly and said: "I'm afraid you don't have a chance. After all, it's impossible for Uncle Chen Wang to marry two princesses.
There is no chance for me to call you aunt."
Such ruthless words were indeed Huimin's style, but they made the girl feel a little embarrassed all of a sudden.
In other words, Princess Huimin, who invited me to a meal, could almost make all the guests at the table so embarrassed that they couldn't even get off the stage. There was no one else in the capital.
Gao Ying clearly didn't care, and his face was still full of interest, while the others could only smile apologetically.
Xie Songhua was on guard. She knew that Huimin must have some means here, but she knew nothing about the other party's plan.
The food arrived quickly, and the maids who served the food all had the same fresh-faced appearance. They swayed their waists and swayed their hips as they walked, as if they were dancing, which made people fascinated.
When all the dishes were served, Huimin sent everyone away, and then said calmly: "Okay, the dishes are here, you are welcome."
As she said this, she just twirled a wine glass and took a small sip without raising her chopsticks to eat.
Gao Ying probably understood her temperament best, so he smiled and said: "I have never eaten many of these dishes! They look delicious, so I won't be polite!"
Her presence finally relaxed the atmosphere at the dinner table.
Xie Songhua had been carefully paying attention to Huimin's actions, but at this time, the other party was lazily leaning on the chair, assuming a bored attitude.
"Did people here lie to me? These dishes are not what Miss Xie is used to eating in the south? Why don't you use your chopsticks?"
Huimin said so, but there was clearly a hint of ridicule in her eyes.
Hearing this, Xie Songhua looked at the dishes on the table. Basically every dish had been touched, and everyone else was eating as usual, so there was nothing wrong with the food.
Xie Songhua still didn't move her chopsticks. It wasn't that she was really worried about something wrong with the meal, but that her spirit was highly tense at the moment. Facing the other party's unknown methods, it was absolutely necessary to stay vigilant.
Eating will undoubtedly weaken such vigilance.
But now that Princess Huimin said this, she suddenly changed her mind and twisted her chopsticks with a smile, "I was waiting for the princess to order it, but now it seems that the princess really ordered these dishes entirely for me. So even if I don’t have the appetite right now, I won’t be able to displease the princess.”
She picked up a piece of the squirrel mandarin fish that seemed to be quite popular on the table, put it in her mouth, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but praise it.
Then he ate a few other things, and actually changed his guarded manner before and actually started eating.
Xie Langhua couldn't help but wonder about the purpose of her move, and then he saw her winking at him. When he understood it, he just kept dealing with the little prince.
Princess Huimin still looked so cold and indifferent, it seemed that whether Xie Songhua ate or not, it was the same to her.
However, from the glances she glanced over from time to time, it could still be seen that her focus was still on Xie Songhua.
Then she discovered that unlike before, Xie Songhua seemed to be much more relaxed at this time.
This made her feel something was not quite right.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on her clothes again.
Just as she was confused, Gao Ying suddenly frowned, with a look of pain on her face.
No one noticed it at first, and the host Huimin's expression was always cold and indifferent. Even though it was a banquet, everyone was somewhat indifferent.
Xie Langhua, who was sitting opposite her, was nervously paying attention to the surrounding situation when he noticed something was wrong with her, "Miss Gao, why do you look so ugly all of a sudden?"
His words attracted the attention of others. When everyone saw it, Gao Ying's face turned pale at this time, and a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out on his forehead.
Huimin also frowned and sat up straight, looking at her in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Gao Ying has been having her menstrual period these past few days, and she was a little uncomfortable. At first, she thought it was because of her stomach discomfort, so she thought she could just endure it and get over it. Who knew the pain in her stomach would get worse? It was getting stronger and stronger, and by now, my whole body was shaking with pain.
"For some reason, I suddenly felt unbearable pain in my abdomen."
The two noble ladies next to her had already stood up after hearing this and wanted to help her aside.
Unexpectedly, one of them just stood up and felt a dull pain in his stomach, so he also cried out in pain.
Both of them were feeling unwell, and the scene suddenly became a bit chaotic.
Everyone helped the two of them to rest in a nearby room.
"No, I seem to... have a little pain in my stomach."
Among the noble ladies present, Zhang Wenying, who had always been the most dignified and self-controlled, spoke at this time.
By this time, Gao Ying on the other end was crying in pain.
"Quick! Send the imperial doctor over!"
Huimin did not expect that such a situation would suddenly occur, and her face immediately turned cold.
But these people were all invited by her today. If something bad happened here at this time, even if she is the most favored princess of the Holy Emperor, she cannot bear such responsibility.
As soon as she finished speaking, Gao Ying grabbed her hand and said, "Quick, I want to go home!"
