Chapter 178: Impatience can ruin a big plan

"Don't bother, I still have..."

Xu Xiao stroked his beard and interrupted Song Yanxi with a smile, "It's my fault for not making good arrangements. Quick, add a few more dishes. Please, Princess, take good care of the prince for us."

Cheng Duan said hurriedly, "That's right, the princess is delicate and tender, it's not good to have you squeeze in with us rough guys."

The other soldiers also echoed this, partly because they felt that since Song Yanxi was a woman, if she really came down to eat at the same table with them, the brothers would be unable to drink freely later.

The other half of the reason, which was what Xu Xiao had just said, was that he wanted her to help take care of Mo Jinchuan.

After all, in the entire general's mansion, apart from a few old women who swept the floor and cooked, there were only two young ladies from the Xu family who had not yet reached marriage age. It would not be a good idea to let young girls come and join in the fun.

Listening to everyone's booing, Song Yanxi felt even more uncomfortable.

She was about to decline when she heard Mo Jinchuan whisper, "Just sit back and relax. There aren't as many rules here as in the capital."

Doctor Liu also spoke up, "Princess, please take a seat quickly. Everyone can't wait to drink."

The crowd suddenly became lively, with some people shouting that they wanted to drink three big bowls, while others said they wanted to hold the jar and compete to see who could drink the most.

But after just a few words, before they had even taken a few bites of the food, they had already started arguing about who would come up first to toast Mo Jinchuan with wine. The conversation was very lively.

Infected by this relaxed atmosphere, Song Yanxi couldn't help but curl her eyebrows and sighed softly: "As expected of the soldiers led by His Royal Highness Prince Jin, they are indeed different."

Mo Jinchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Tell me what's different."

Song Yanxi was speechless, not expecting that such a small voice could be heard. After a pause, she asked in a low voice, "Are all the soldiers under the prince's command as good at hearing as the prince?"

"Of course not."

"That's good."

Song Yanxi had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Mo Jinchuan ask quietly, "What are you afraid of?"

Yes, what is she afraid of?

Now she is following His Majesty's order to heal Prince Jin's legs, so it is normal for her to eat and live with him.

Being too cautious will only make it seem like you are trying to cover up your own guilt.

After realizing this, Song Yanxi changed her previous reserved attitude and took the initiative to serve food to Mo Jinchuan.

Looking at the two light vegetarian dishes on the plate, Mo Jinchuan curled his lips slightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Even if you don't like what I say, you don't have to be reluctant to give up even a bite of meat."

Song Yanxi smiled slightly, "Your Highness has a leg injury, eating light food will help with recovery."

She looked sincere, without any trace of deliberate intent.

But Mo Jinchuan knew that she clearly did it on purpose.

This vindictive look makes her seem more humane and interesting than when she is dignified and generous.

Someone below couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and was about to toast Mo Jinchuan when he heard a woman's sweet laughter coming from the door.

"Hey, everyone is eating."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person who came in was Zhuang Shihan. Their expressions were indescribably subtle.

There were a few people who couldn't hide their thoughts and their faces turned black on the spot. They almost asked her directly why she was there.

Seeing that there were few people she knew sitting in the room, the smile on Zhuang Shihan's face seemed a little forced.

It has only been half a year since they left the border town, and most of the people arranged by Brother Feng have been replaced. Now, this border town is likely to follow the surname Xu!

Most of the people on the field had been suppressed by Lin Tingfeng, but now they had returned to their original positions, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, wishing they could piss him off to death.

It was Xu Xiao who spoke up and broke the awkward atmosphere.

He waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and add another table. Whoever sits in the seats reserved for General Lin and Princess Shihan will receive twenty military sticks after the banquet."

Lin Tingfeng, who came in later, said with a serious face: "It's okay, it's just a meal, it doesn't matter where you sit."

Hearing this, Xu Xiao's smile faded a little, and he stood up and said, "Then there's no need to bother. I'll go sit down with the brothers and have a drink. General Lin and the princess can sit here."

Zhuang Shihan was about to refuse, but Xu Xiao had already strode away from the table and sat down with several deputy generals.

The happier he was, the more pretentious the two of them seemed.

When passing by other tables, I even heard someone say directly, "If you don't want to sit with us, why don't you just say it directly? Why don't you just say we're not worthy?"

Lin Tingfeng clenched his fists and wanted to say something but Zhuang Shihan grabbed his arm.

She lowered her voice and said, "Brother Feng, a little impatience can ruin a big plan."

Surprised at her calmness, Lin Tingfeng felt relieved, but at the same time, a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

But as the music in the hall started to rise, he didn't have time to think about it and quickly limped and pulled Zhuang Shihan to the table.

After taking his seat, Lin Tingfeng looked up and noticed the look on Song Yanxi's face as she sat next to Mo Jinchuan.

He blurted out, "Is she crazy?"

Zhuang Shihan followed his gaze and started laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.

She leaned closer and asked, "Is this what you said, not that kind of person."

Lin Tingfeng's forehead was bulging with veins. He gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "His Majesty ordered her to treat Prince Jin's leg disease."

Zhuang Shihan sneered, "That's right, he's now in bed."

Hearing this, Lin Tingfeng's eyes turned fierce for a moment, "If you don't have evidence, don't say anything more. Be careful of ears."

Zhuang Shihan rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You won't suffer any loss anyway. No matter how much they mess around, she's still your wife in name only. When she dies, she'll be buried in your family's ancestral tomb."

Without waiting for Lin Tingfeng to react, she grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, saying with a smile, "Eat more, so you can have more energy to perform later."

Her voice was very soft, and there was a certain distance between the seats, so people could not hear the argument, but only saw the two people behaving intimately and lovingly.

Even a serious couple would never act like them.

Someone couldn't bear to watch this anymore and couldn't help but ask Cheng Duan, "General Cheng, have they been so clueless all along the way?"

Without naming names, everyone can understand who he is talking about just by making eye contact.

Cheng Duan turned his head and took a look. He felt that the chicken leg in his hand was tasteless. He shook his head to indicate that he knew nothing.

But he is not the kind of person who can keep secrets. After drinking a bowl of wine, he dares to say anything.

Those far away couldn't hear clearly, but they could only hear a chorus of boos. Someone couldn't help but curse, "Say it louder so everyone can hear you. You're making me want to run to the toilet!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Cheng Duan stood up shakily, burped, and said, "What are you yelling about? There are women here today, don't embarrass our prince."

The people who were talking suddenly blushed. Just as they were about to say something else, they suddenly caught a glimpse of dozens of graceful women in light gauze walking towards the door with lotus steps.
