Imperial Capital Gift 30. Princess Qixia
2/F, Chu Heung Court
A gorgeous figure rushed out of the private room quickly, and was about to collide with the waiter who was carrying a tray of dishes. Murong Ting jumped out at the same moment and tried to grab the woman, but she was still a little slow and let the red sleeve slip through her fingertips.
"Be careful!" Ye Li calculated the direction that the hot pot of soup in the tray would be hit almost at the same time when the waiter was hit by the woman in red. She casually grabbed the empty bowl on the table and threw it over. Hesitating the precise position and force, she forcibly knocked the soup pot, which had just left the tray and flew over someone's head, to the left. With a series of bangs, the soup pot fell to the ground in the open space not far away. Because the waiter held the tray tightly, the remaining plates did not cause more serious damage except for one that fell to the ground in front of him and splashed the soup on a customer's clothes.
The entire second floor was suddenly silent. The waiter looked at the soup pot on the ground with a pale face and looked at the girl in green sitting next to him with gratitude. If the girl hadn't thrown the bowl, the waiter knew very well that the boiling soup that had just come off the fire would have likely fallen on the head of the young man who was sitting with his back to him by the stairs, or even flew down to the first floor and hit the guests below. The woman in red obviously didn't realize what kind of accident she might cause. After being grabbed by Murong Ting, she angrily shook off her hand and shouted: "How dare you! How dare you stand up to the anger of this princess!"
Qin Zheng and the others then saw clearly that the girl in red was none other than Princess Qixia of Nanzhao whom they had met at the Hundred Flowers Festival a few days ago.
Murong Ting didn't buy it and sneered, "If you want to act like a princess, go to Nanzhao. You're rushing around in a restaurant full of people. What if you hurt someone?"
Princess Qixia looked unhappy, and it was clear that she was not in a very good mood. She sneered disdainfully and said, "They are just a few ruffians. What if I get hurt?"
As soon as these words came out, all the guests on the second floor changed their expressions. You have to know that Chuxiang Pavilion is one of the best restaurants in the capital, and the high cost is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. Those who come in and out are either rich or noble. Princess Qixia's nonsense here will undoubtedly offend everyone present. Hua Tianxiang stood up, and her beautiful face was also stained with a hint of indifference, but her smile was still reserved and noble, "Even if they are rogues, they are rogues of my Great Chu. It seems that it is not the turn of a princess of a small country like Nanzhao to look down on them." Nanzhao is a small country with weak people. If it were not for the three major powers working together for hundreds of years, and the constant conquests and mutual restraints, the small Nanzhao would have been annexed long ago.
"You are so brave!" Princess Qixia looked gloomy and stared at Hua Tianxiang with anger. Hua Tianxiang raised her chin slightly and looked at her without showing any weakness. She was just a princess of a small country. He showed her some respect because of Princess Zhaoyang. Did he really think that the nobles of Da Chu were afraid of him?
"Princess Qixia, you must know what Chuxiang Pavilion is. If someone is hurt, I'm afraid the eldest princess will be in a difficult situation." Qin Zheng smiled faintly, but there was no usual gentleness in her eyes when she looked at Princess Qixia.
Princess Qixia's face changed slightly. She snorted and glanced at the back of the man whose hair was almost washed by the boiling hot water, and said, "Isn't he fine? Why do you have to mind your own business?"
Hua Tianxiang retracted her gaze from Princess Qixia, smiled and said to Murong Ting, "Murong, forget it. After all, she is a princess from a foreign country and she can't even apologize. We can just avoid her when we meet on the road. Who knows who will be the unlucky one next time." Murong Ting looked Princess Qixia up and down seriously and nodded, "Tianxiang, you are right, and everyone should just take the blame today. Who made our great Princess Qixia in a bad mood? Waiter, are you scared? Aren't you going to clean up?" The waiter, who was frightened by the sudden situation, quickly apologized to the guests affected and hurried to clean up the mess.
"Bitch!" Princess Qixia was so angry that her face turned blue. She pulled off the long whip hanging at her waist and hit Hua Tianxiang on the face.
"Tianxiang!" Qin Zheng exclaimed.
A green shadow passed by and caught the long whip coming towards her. Ye Li pulled Hua Tianxiang away with one hand and grabbed the whip in front of her with the other hand. The slight pain in her palm made Ye Li frown. Because of the seat problem, she could only pull Hua Tianxiang away for a moment, and then she took the whip from Princess Qixia. However, the palm was not as painful as expected. Ye Li looked over and found that the whip in Princess Qixia's hand had slipped out of her hand at some point. She was staring at Ye Li with a pale face, covering the back of her hand. Ye Li raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the diners around her, and finally set her eyes on the man who was leaning against the stairs without turning his head.
"Princess Qixia, you are a guest and we, the subjects of Great Chu, respect you. I'm afraid your habit of carrying a whip around is not suitable for Great Chu. Please respect your status." Ye Li looked at Princess Qixia coldly, waving her hand with some doubt. Slowly taking the long whip back into her hand, Ye Li had no intention of returning it to her. Girls of this era, even those as cheerful and lively as Murong Ting, knew their limits. How could Princess Qixia play with such a dangerous toy? "This, I will have someone send it to the Princess's residence."
"Ye Li, do you think you are proud of winning the first place in the Hundred Flowers Contest? Didn't Prince Li abandon you and marry that useless Prince Dingguo? Humph, this princess feels sorry for you."
Ye Li's eyes were cold, "I think with Princess Qixia's knowledge and intelligence, I'm afraid she can't understand the significance and status of Dingguo Palace in Da Chu. Naturally, she can't understand the great kindness of the current emperor. Or maybe Princess Qixia's forgetful mind has long forgotten that the waste you mentioned once swept across southern Xinjiang when he was fifteen years old, and Nanzhao was one of them, right? Princess of Nanzhao, who is not even as good as waste, how can you... live? And you can still talk nonsense here? As for the princess's mercy, I probably can't afford it, so I'd better keep it for myself." Ye Li's tone was not angry or hurried, but it was just such a slow and leisurely speech that made Princess Qixia's face turn from blue to purple, and then purple to black. Many diners present also laughed softly.
Hua Tianxiang, who was almost disfigured just now, came to her senses at this time, walked to Ye Li and said with a smile: "A Li, you have been exposed. How can a small country like Nanzhao know so much. I just hope that with the teachings of the eldest princess, some people will know what the true princess style is. After all... the eldest princess is a role model for women in our dynasty."
Murong Ting came over angrily. She was so scared that she almost lost her courage because she didn't have time to save Hua Tianxiang. Now she couldn't have a good face to Princess Qixia. "Tianxiang is right. Princess Qixia is just jealous of A Li. Although A Li can't be the Princess of Li, she can be the Princess of Ding. She doesn't want a certain princess to travel thousands of miles... Hehe..." Qin Zheng secretly pinched her, and Murong Ting reluctantly stopped talking and replaced it with two laughs. But the unfinished meaning was understood by those who should understand.
"You...you..."
"What happened? Qixia, what are you doing?"
The door of the private room was opened again. Mo Jingli looked at the scene with a cold face and frowned brows. When his eyes fell on Ye Li, his face became even gloomier.
"Brother Jingli, they bullied Xiaer!" Seeing Mo Jingli coming out, Princess Qixia hurriedly moved over, with a hint of girlish coquettishness on her face.
oh……
Everyone present pretended to eat seriously, but their ears were erect. His Royal Highness Prince Li will be married at the beginning of next month, right? Why is he having a tryst with Princess Qixia in a restaurant? Is His Royal Highness Prince Li finally ready to abandon the fourth lady of the Ye family after abandoning the third lady of the Ye family?
Mo Jingli frowned, stared at Ye Li and said, "Why make a big fuss about such a small matter? Or do you want to be favored by the crowd? Give up, I will never marry you!"
If it wasn't in front of a large crowd, Ye Li would definitely teach him an unforgettable lesson. Will you die if you don't have a narcissistic attitude?
"Has His Royal Highness Prince Li seen the imperial physician?"
"What?" Mo Jingli was stunned.
Ye Li said calmly: "Unrestrained fantasies at any time and in any place are a disease, so treat it as soon as possible."
Puff - I don't know who finally couldn't help laughing.
"Ye Li, you are so brave!" Mo Jingli has never been a good-tempered person. He was immediately furious when he was mocked so blatantly by a woman he had abandoned. His cold eyes flashed with a hint of hostility, and he raised his hand to grab Ye Li. Ye Li's eyes flashed with coldness, and he turned his hand and hid something in his right hand hidden in his sleeve, waiting for Mo Jingli to come over.
A shadow passed by quickly, and Mo Jingli's hand stopped one step away from Ye Li and could no longer move. A low and gentle voice sounded faintly, "Prince Li, are you dissatisfied with my future princess?"
