Wei Xiyin maintained her persona, not even looking at the old woman. "Let's attend the banquet. Zhongshan Kingdom is really wealthy. They're still in the mood to hold a banquet at this time. Unlike our fortress, we are broke and everyone is busy cleaning up monsters..."
"It seems my cousin and I have come to the right place. His Highness will surely give us a lot of food as a token of gratitude, so our people won't have to starve..." She glanced at Wei Li and said, "Cousin, don't you agree?"
Wei Li came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.
The old woman lowered her head and did not respond.
Your Highness was right in his guess. Wei wanted to repay the favor.
This Madam Wei doesn't look too smart. She actually stated her purpose so carelessly. She is so shameless that it will be difficult for Your Highness to refuse her in public.
Perhaps the elders of the Wei family were too shy to ask for permission, so they sent two younger generations to escort the princess back?
The old woman felt that she had discovered the truth.
"What are you still standing here for?" Wei Xiyin glared at the old woman in dissatisfaction, not being polite at all. "Since we are going to the banquet, why don't you send some things over first so that we can get dressed up?"
The old woman was almost unable to suppress her anger.
As the prince's wet nurse, no one in the palace dared to speak to her like this for a long time.
The old woman's tone was extremely stiff. "I will have something delivered right away. Madam Wei, if you need anything else, please let the palace servants know. Since you are a guest of Zhongshan, His Highness will certainly not neglect you."
With that she bowed and left.
Wei Xiyin turned her head to look at the princess and said with a tut, "Princess, the servants of your Zhongshan Kingdom are really tactless. They are just slaves. If they do something wrong, they will be beaten or killed. You are so weak-willed. If you can't speak up, just let me do it."
The old woman hadn't walked far yet, but when she heard this, she clenched her fists.
All the palace maids in Pingyao Palace trembled.
Wei Xiyin continued to use drastic measures, "As the princess, if you want to punish a few unruly servants, His Highness won't say anything."
Princess Zhongshan looked at the servants in the room. Almost all of them were strangers. All the people she, her mother and her brother needed were gone.
At this time, her eyes were still red and she was extremely sad after hearing the bad news. She did not respond when she heard it.
The princess only sobbed softly, "I am not feeling well, so I will not attend the banquet. Lord Wei and Lady Wei should go."
Indeed, I just received the bad news from my family, so if I am in the mood to attend the banquet, then that would be weird.
Wei Li finally found the opportunity to speak. His throat rolled, and his eyes were filled with thoughts. "Princess, please have a good rest first."
Princess Zhongshan lowered her eyelids, her expression invisible. She just nodded slightly and entered the main hall under the protection of Xiang Qi and other followers.
The five followers stood guard outside the temple like killing gods.
After Wei Xiyin said those words, the palace servants did not dare to get close to her, for fear that they might accidentally bring bad luck upon themselves and become the target of being killed as a warning to others.
His Highness asked them to keep an eye on the Princess and the Wei brothers and sisters, but they were servants after all. If the Princess really wanted to beat them to death, His Highness would never turn against the Princess for just a few servants.
Wei Xiyin saw how frightened they were and returned to the house with satisfaction.
After a while.
Sure enough, palace maids brought items, including silks, satins, rouge and powder, and even a box of exquisite snacks.
Every grain of food in the fort is precious, and snacks such as dim sum have not appeared for a long time.
However, Wei Xiyin didn't dare to eat the things sent by Yuan Sanlang, and she had just offended the old woman. She loaded all the things sent into the ceremonial car intact, thinking that she could take the cloth back to the fort to make clothes.
Wenkang is growing up, and Erlang has also grown very fast recently. The original clothes can no longer fit them. A piece of clothing has to be altered and sewn over and over again.
There are also these rouge and powder. My cousins love beauty, so they will definitely be happy to take them back.
It's free anyway, so why not take it?
There was no one in the house.
Wei Xiyin walked to the desk and started writing a letter. She handed the letter to Qin Shan who was waiting outside and looked for an opportunity to deliver it outside.
To the You hour.
A palace maid came to invite you.
But it was not the old woman who came.
The two maids politely saluted the cousins, "Your Highness has prepared a banquet, and please follow me, the two of you."
The two cousins, one acting humble and the other arrogant, took Qin Shan and four guards and followed the palace servants to the banquet.
It was very hot outside, there was not a breath of wind in the air, and even after the sun went down, the temperature was still very high.
The palace maids were sweating profusely. The two maids walking in front had a large area of wet backs, and they kept looking up to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
Wei Xiyin understood. She had not seen any sign of ice being used since she entered the palace. It was almost the end of summer, and the ice stored in Zhongshan Kingdom had probably melted into a pool of water.
The cousins followed behind several maids, looking calmly at the patrolling garrison troops.
When you come out of Pingyao Palace, there is a place where soldiers are stationed. There are about a hundred of them. Then you can see soldiers almost every distance.
It looks like there are quite a few people.
With monsters wreaking havoc outside, it seemed normal to have so many troops stationed at the palace, but those stationed near Pingyao Palace were obviously newly transferred.
The effect is self-evident.
The guards stationed at the palace are all Motosaburo's confidants.
Wei Xiyin's eyes were extremely arrogant as she swept her gaze over the patrolling troops one by one, tapping lightly with her fingers hidden in her sleeves.
This army cannot be kept.
Wei Li had no idea what she was thinking and was memorizing the route and the duty points he saw on the road.
The brother and sister each had their own thoughts, and soon they were led to the front hall by the palace servants.
This place was originally the palace of the old King Zhongshan. After Yuan Sanlang succeeded to the throne, he moved here and never returned to the remote side hall where he lived before.
After all, I'm late.
When I came in, the hall was extremely lively.
The seating arrangement in the main hall was far away from the highest seat at the top. There were low tables and cushions on the left and right. Some people had already taken their seats, and Mr. Hu was among them.
The man sitting at the top was wearing summer cicada silk satin embroidered with gold thread and gold cloud patterns, and he wore a cage crown made of black lacquered gauze.
The sleeves of the clothes are extremely wide, and they look like casual clothes, yet they do not lose their status.
Perhaps when Motosaburo first ascended the throne, he had a possessive desire for the royal robes that symbolized his status, and he would wear heavy clothes every day to show his status.
But as time went on, the summer heat became intense, and he gradually became impatient with the suffering he was experiencing.
He is the biggest now in Zhongshan, so naturally he wears whatever is comfortable for him.
Wei Xiyin and Wei Li exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and saluted, "Greetings, Your Highness."
The brother and sister, one bent their knees and the other bowed, both showing the usual courtesy.
Wei Xiyin, in particular, was particularly perfunctory in her greetings.
Yuan Saburo narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but smiled and said, "Are you two my sister's saviors? I didn't expect you to be so young. Please take a seat."
After all, he was a guest and the target of the banquet, so Wei Li's seat was very close to the front.
Wei Xiyin was a female member of the family, so her seat was a little further back.
The brother and sister took their seats after being reminded by the palace servants.
