Lou Xiao pointed angrily at Qingfeng, "You're just a servant. Who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?"
"Whether I am a servant or not, I am not serving you." Qingfeng looked at Lou Xiao with disdain.
What a fool! He thinks he is so powerful.
"Lou Xiao, shut up." Lou Jingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashing in them, "You are bringing shame to Lan Country."
Lou Xiao's face twisted slightly, "Yes, I will pay attention."
Looking at Qingfeng's proud expression, she clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.
"Daddy, I'm here." Bai Jinjin was wearing a bright red long skirt. The middle of her waist was made of new cloth tributed from Shu brocade, with patterns outlined with gold thread. On her head she wore a pair of hairpins given to her by Ye Jiuge.
Ye Jiuge noticed the golden hairpin on her head, and a barely visible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Jinjin looks very nice in this outfit." Bai Juncheng looked at Bai Jinjin's clothes with admiration.
"Of course, my mother picked it for me." Bai Jinjin said proudly as she sat next to Ye Jiuge.
Concubine Ye laughed dumbly, "Don't listen to this girl's nonsense, she chose the style herself."
Bai Jinjin, who was exposed, was not embarrassed at all and gave Concubine Ye a reproachful look, "Mother, I am trying to help you with good things, why are you ruining my plan?"
Lou Jingyue sat across from Bai Jinjin and raised her teacup. "Your Highness the Ninth Princess and I hit it off right away. Could you please give me a favor and have a drink?"
"It's my honor." Bai Jinjin agreed.
Then the two of them smiled at each other and drank the tea in the cup.
"Jinjin, you look like you've been drinking." Bai Yan handed Bai Jinjin a crab and chuckled.
Bai Jinjin took the crab and said, "For the sake of the crab, I won't argue with you."
She glanced over and saw the girl next to Lou Jingyue giving her a cold look.
"Oh?" Bai Jinjin's eyebrows jumped. What was the relationship between this woman and Sister Lou?
"That girl looks unfamiliar." Bai Jinjin and Lou Jingyue looked at each other and said.
Lou Jingyue immediately knew that Lou Xiao must have been caught by Bai Jinjin's expression.
"This girl is my cousin. She begged my father to let me bring her here." Lou Jingyue smiled at Bai Jinjin and responded softly.
Lou Xiao looked at Lou Jingyue in disbelief. She actually explained how she came to be. Besides, she was her sister, so why was she so gentle to Bai Jinjin?
"So that's how it is. I wonder if this princess may know her name?" Bai Jinjin asked Lou Jingyue casually.
Lou Jingyue nodded, "Her name is Lou Xiao."
This made Bai Jinjin stunned. Why did this name sound so familiar?
She remembered that this woman was the one who accompanied the villain before he died.
Bai Jinjin began to feel jealous. She had just mentioned this woman in passing, but she never expected her to be such a person.
"Jinjin, what's wrong with you?" Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin who was looking at him with a resentful expression.
"I'm fine, I just want to see you." Bai Jinjin said to Ye Jiuge with a forced smile.
Ye Jiuge looked at her with a smile and placed the peeled chestnuts in front of Bai Jinjin. "Don't let your imagination run wild. These are the chestnuts you love to eat."
"Why does Lou Xiao look not so smart?" Bai Jinjin leaned on Ye Jiuge in a friendly manner and asked quietly.
"Don't look at her, it's unlucky." Ye Jiuge calmly gave Bai Jinjin another chestnut to block her mouth.
Lou Xiao has been paying attention to Ye Jiuge for a long time. He is obviously the prince of Lan State, so why should he serve people from Qin State?
"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, can't the Qin palace maids peel a chestnut properly?" Lou Xiao said to Bai Jinjin while pretending to be calm.
Bai Jinjin paused. Damn, this woman dared to provoke me.
"What does this have to do with you?" Bai Jinjin looked at Lou Xiao indifferently.
Then he ate the chestnuts that Ye Jiuge fed him.
I laughed in my heart, thinking he was some powerful character, but turned out to be just a brainless one.
"As a princess, you don't even have the proper etiquette." Lou Xiao pretended to be smart and shut up in time.
Bai Jinjin laughed. "Whether the princess has the etiquette is my problem, but whether you have the etiquette of Lan Country is unknown to me."
"The etiquette of our Lan country is still very good." Lou Xiao responded as if he didn't understand.
Lou Jingyue frowned, "Lou Xiao, don't forget what you promised your father."
Never do unnecessary things, never meddle in other people's affairs, and never talk too much.
"Sister, you are my sister, why are you so friendly to the Ninth Princess?" Lou Xiao bit her lip and asked.
Bai Jinjin held her chin and watched the scene in front of her. Although Bai Jinjin knew that it was inappropriate to watch Lou Jingyue's play, she believed that Lou Jingyue knew what was going on.
"Shut up." Lou Jingyue was caught off guard by Lou Xiao's arms, "Let go."
The jealousy in Lou Xiao's heart gradually increased.
Although Lou Jingyue was indifferent to her before, she would never be as furious as she is today.
But ever since she came back from Qin, he had become more and more distant from her, and they hadn't even spoken to each other.
"Why should I let go? We are sisters, aren't we?" Lou Xiao looked at Lou Jingyue with red eyes, and a sense of pleasure of revenge flashed across his eyes.
"My father only has me as his daughter." Lou Jingyue pulled out her hand and spoke calmly.
Now Lou Xiao has become the laughing stock of the entire banquet, and the people around him are looking at him with gloating eyes.
"How can you say such things at such an important banquet?"
"She has almost brought shame upon the Lan Kingdom."
Zhou Qing also felt his face burning. Lou Xiao was a talented woman in Lan Country.
Bah, what a talented woman! Now Lou Xiao looks like a slut who was abandoned by a man.
The four seasons in Lan Country are like spring. Even when Lou Xiao came to Qin Country, he just put on a thick cloak.
The charcoal fire in the banquet did not die down at all, so Lou Xiao took off his cloak as soon as he entered the banquet.
"Miss Lou likes to be different, right?" Bai Jinjin's eyes were fixed on Lou Xiao's clothes.
"Although it is spring in our Qin country, it is still a bit cold. Miss Lou's dress is really out of place here." Bai Jinjin glanced at Lou Xiao sarcastically, and spoke in an awkward manner.
Lou Xiao's face flushed red. She had just made this dress just for attending this banquet and for Prince Ye.
"In our Lan country, it's spring all year round, so I didn't have time to change my attire. Please forgive me if I'm impolite." Lou Xiao remembered his purpose and lowered his head slightly to Bai Jinjin with a dignified and generous look.
Bai Jinjin glanced at Ye Jiuge and snorted coldly. She knew that there was something fishy going on and it turned out that the person was targeting Ye Jiuge.
"What bad luck." Bai Jinjin snorted coldly at Ye Jiuge.
