A malice flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly overturned the wine pot on the table.
The wine in the flask spilled out instantly, flowing onto the ground.
However, Xie Jingyi was still some distance away from this side, and when she danced, she couldn't reach this side at all.
She gritted her teeth in anger, looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she suddenly picked up the wine glass next to her and splashed it at Xie Jingyi's feet.
Xie Jingyi slipped and fell to the ground with a "thud".
There was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Xie Jingyi is really stupid. If she can't dance, she shouldn't have danced at all. Now look what she's done, she's made a fool of herself in front of the Empress and the Princess." Someone mocked.
Xie Jingyi lay on the ground, her face turning pale.
This time, she was really injured. She felt a piercing pain in her ribs, and she couldn't lift her arm.
Feng Xin frowned. "Why did she suddenly fall down?"
Rong Qingqing glanced in Liu Lanzhi's direction; she had seen Liu Lanzhi throw the wine earlier.
This person has some nerve, actually doing these petty things right under her and Feng Xin's noses. Does he really think she and Feng Xin are just decorations?
She whispered a few words to Feng Xin, who nodded and ordered, "Someone, help Miss Xie to her room to rest, and then ask a doctor to come and examine her. We don't want her to fall and hurt herself."
The palace servants immediately responded to the sound and helped Xie Jingyi up.
Liu Lanzhi was dumbfounded when she saw this. How come it was still different from what she had expected?
Why didn't the Empress punish Xie Jingyi?
There's a grudge between them, she should use that as an excuse to make a fuss.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Princess, Miss Xie has been impolite time and time again, and she clearly doesn't respect you two at all."
Feng Xin said in surprise, "She deliberately fell down so as not to respect me and Your Majesty?"
Liu Lanzhi choked for a moment, then said sullenly, "I think she just pretended to fall, in order to... to ruin the banquet. Yes, that's it!"
Feng Xin scoffed, "Does this person think everyone is an idiot?"
She was about to speak when Rong Qingqing stopped her.
She thought Rong Qingqing was going to punish this arrogant person, but instead, she heard her say, "Forget the singing and dancing, let's play musical chairs instead."
Feng Xin, who was always playful, immediately clapped her hands in agreement upon hearing this, saying, "That's a good idea." After saying that, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the props.
Liu Lanzhi was a little confused. How come they were talking about Xie Jingyi just a moment ago, and now it's turned into a game of musical chairs, with the two noble people letting Xie Jingyi go so easily?
Seeing that the two really had no intention of pursuing the matter, she felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow or swallow.
She wanted to see Xie Jingyi suffer.
She bit her lip, feeling extremely unwilling.
Before long, the servants of the princess's residence had prepared the necessary tools.
Feng Xin handed a red flower made of silk to Rong Qingqing, saying, "Let's start with you, sister-in-law."
Rong Qingqing nodded without refusing.
Not far away, a palace servant stood with his back to the crowd in front of the drum. After hearing the start sound, he began to beat the drum.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Rong Qingqing handed the flowers in her hand to Feng Xin, who then handed the red flowers to Shangguan Yanran, who was sitting at the next seat.
After Shangguan Yanran took it, she passed it on to the next person.
The red flower reached Liu Lanzhi's hands, and she was about to pass it on when the drumbeats abruptly stopped.
She paused for a moment, but calmly rose and said, "Your Majesty, shall I play a piece for you?"
"No need," Rong Qingqing said calmly. "I've never heard a rooster crow before. You learn one so I can see for myself."
