Chapter 541 Don't Hurt Me

But Heatherine and Isabel were different. The two almost sparked a romance the day they met at the Honglu Temple. In the end, the Great Xia had to send Zhao Qirui to the Honglu Temple to separate the two sides who were on the verge of conflict.

"The three of them have been here for so many days. Since it's inconvenient for you to visit them, I should take this opportunity to let you have a heart-to-heart talk!" Wang Yushi said with a half-smile, which made Qin Mo feel a little uneasy.

"Sue your sister!"

Qin Mo stormed off, feeling that Wang Yushi had become less magnanimous since having a son, often nitpicking over trivial matters.

The identities of Heather and the other two are very sensitive. Their every word and action after arriving in the capital is under scrutiny. They stayed quietly in the Court of State Ceremonial and did not go out. Qin Mo was not foolish enough to pay them a visit. Which of the three women would you visit first? Should you just throw them all together like Wang Yushi?

The imperial banquet in the palace was very grand. There were only about a hundred guests, but dozens of tables were set up.

Those of high rank, such as Prince Yan Qin Mo, Grand Secretary Xiao Xinyan, and Prince Heng Qin Mo, naturally had one seat each. The rest were all high-ranking officials of the court, of the second rank or above, and at most, there were only two or three people per seat.

"Elder Heatherine of the Temple Council has arrived!" "Queen Shia of the Sea Clan has arrived!" "Queen Isabel, Speaker of the Crimson Council, has arrived!"

The three announcers simultaneously announced the arrival of the guests, without any particular order. This was arranged beforehand; there was no distinction between the three parties in terms of order, since there was no longer a rule of arranging guests by their surnames alphabetically, and the order of arrival was a very important matter.

This is also one of the reasons why Wang Yushi entertained three people at the same time. All three of them are of very high status. Who should you summon first? Who should you summon next?

Heather entered through the main entrance of the hall, while Shia and Isabel entered through the side entrances. The three beauties strode in with synchronized steps, each exuding the aura of a queen and unparalleled elegance, dazzling the eyes of the men of Great Xia.

"Hiss... hiss..."

The entire hall was filled with gasps. There were exotic women in the capital, and some powerful figures even kept various exotic cats at home, but they had never seen a bewitching beauty like Isabel before.

"Such stunning beauty... such power... yin prevails over yang!" Countless people had this thought in their hearts.

Wang Yushi stood up and exchanged slight greetings with the three of them. Since all four of them were of very high status, nodding and cupping their hands in greeting was already a great show of respect.

Then a maid came and guided the three to their respective seats. The three tables were parallel and not in front of or behind each other, several feet apart, and the dishes served were exactly the same.

It must be said that the officials in charge of etiquette in the Great Xia Dynasty were very experienced. They arranged everything in an orderly manner. They even spent a long time analyzing who should go through the main gate and the side gate when the three of them entered. In the end, they decided to let Heather go through the main gate, since the Temple was undoubtedly the strongest among the three forces.

Even so, something still happened.

Heatherine and Shia followed their maids to their seats, but Isabel hesitated for a moment before walking over to Qin Mo.

"Your Highness Prince Heng... is well!"

Isabel bowed formally to Qin Mo, speaking in standard Xia Dynasty greetings.

However, the wording is somewhat inappropriate, and the gesture of bowing is even more inappropriate.

Isabel only nodded slightly and gave a casual bow to Wang Yushi, but she now bowed deeply to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo felt a bitter taste in her mouth and slowly stood up, saying, "Isabel, I've treated you well! Can you please not hurt me?"
