Chapter 297 Pick it up if you want to eat it
The ancestors of the Chang'an Marquisate earned their titles through military merit, but this generation of the Chang'an Marquis gave up military service and turned to literature. The current Chang'an Marquis serves as the Minister of Justice in the court. Although his achievements are not as great as those of his ancestors, he has prevented the marquisate from declining.
Although he is a hereditary marquis, the Chang'an Marquisate can only be regarded as a second-class duke's mansion in the capital, and it is still a certain distance away from the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
Marquis Chang'an is a hospitable man. Although he has not reached a high official position in recent years, he is good at making friends and there are many aristocratic families who are on good terms with him. Many of them came to today's banquet at the marquis' mansion.
As soon as Su Ying got off the carriage, servants came to greet her.
"Your servant pays respects to the princess."
Bai Shuang saw that Marquis Chang'an was welcoming guests on the side. He just glanced at Su Ying and then looked away. Bai Shuang frowned. In terms of status, except for the elders of the royal family, Su Ying had the highest status, but she was ignored.
When she came, Mother Zhao said that Su Ying should have the power of the Princess of Qi and not be looked down upon.
"The Marquis is really busy." Bai Shuang frowned slightly and glanced in the direction of Marquis Chang'an. The servant immediately understood what he meant when he saw it.
She quickly went to the Marquis of Chang'an and whispered a few words, and the Marquis of Chang'an immediately walked towards Su Ying.
The Marquis of Chang'an was a lean middle-aged man. When he met Su Ying's gaze, there was an apologetic smile in his eyes. "I am here to pay my respects to the princess. I almost neglected her. Please forgive me. It is a great honor for the Marquis's mansion that you can come to our house. Please come in, princess."
Su Ying frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked, "How many sheep did the Marquis bring back today?"
Chang'an Hou was stunned and said subconsciously: "Ten."
Ten heads is not too few.
Su Ying nodded with satisfaction and entered the Marquis' Mansion. Marquis Chang'an couldn't understand for a long time what Su Ying was satisfied with.
The maid who led the way said that the main feature of today's banquet was roasted whole lamb, which would be eaten hot, so it would be roasted on the spot. The banquet would be held in the back garden of the marquis's mansion, in the open air.
"Please wait a moment, Princess." After the servant brought Su Ying to her seat and sat her down, he left.
As soon as Su Ying appeared, many people turned their eyes to her.
Before, Su Ying was also a very visible figure in the banquet, but she was always a negative example. Those who claimed to be ladies would make fun of her. Even though she had already married Xiao Jin at that time, she was still not taken seriously.
Su Ying was about to take the snacks on the table when someone grabbed her hand.
"Isn't this Princess Qi? It's been a long time since we last saw her. She has changed so much that we almost don't recognize her."
Su Ying looked up and saw a round face full of contempt. She met her gaze without any fear and opened her eyes provocatively, as if to say, what can you do to me.
Some humiliating scenes flashed through Su Ying's mind, and the face in front of her appeared frequently.
The youngest daughter of the Minister of War, Rong Mingxi, used to show off herself by mocking and teasing "her", and she especially liked to make "her" look bad in front of Xiao Jue.
All the things in her memory made Su Ying unable to help but swear.
Everyone said that the original owner was a spoiled fool, so why were there so many scenes of her being bullied in her memory?
Rong Mingxi threw the snacks on the plate to the ground, looked at Su Ying in a commanding manner and said, "Oh, I accidentally dropped this snack on the ground. If Princess wants to eat it, can you pick it up yourself?"
In the past, Su Ying was afraid of her, a fear of a bully.
"If you don't eat, I won't tell you where the eldest prince will go next time." Seeing Su Ying not moving, Rong Mingxi moved closer to her and lowered his voice.
Su Ying raised her eyelids. Yes, every time Rong Mingxi humiliated "her", he would use Xiao Jue's whereabouts as a threat. If she wanted to chase Xiao Jue, she had to know where he was.
In order to be able to chase Xiao Jue, she would grit her teeth and do it no matter how these people humiliated her.
More and more people came over to the garden, all of them waiting to see Su Ying make a fool of herself.
Su Ying glanced at the snacks on the ground and frowned slightly, but still stood up.
Bai Shuang was shocked when she saw this, "Princess... No!"
Su Ying placed her fingertips on her lips, signaling her to be quiet. Bai Shuang was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
She didn't want to see the princess being humiliated by these people again. These people were so despicable!
But Su Ying didn't let her speak, so she could only grit her teeth and hold all her anger in her chest.
Su Ying squatted down and picked up the snacks one by one.
Rong Mingxi laughed unbridled when seeing this, "Oh, this is the Princess of Qi, Princess, you can still eat this dessert after dusting it off, Princess, please don't waste it."
Su Ying picked up all the snacks and dusted them off. She looked up at Rong Mingxi and smiled, "You're right. Don't waste them. In that case, just eat them all."
Rong Mingxi paused and stared at her coldly, "What did you say?"
"Hard of hearing? But I don't want to say it again." Su Ying suddenly reached out and pinched Rong Mingxi's mouth open, and stuffed all the pastries in her hand into her mouth.
Rong Mingxi widened her eyes in shock, unable to believe that Su Ying dared to resist her!
She struggled to break free from Su Ying's hand, but Su Ying's hand held her in place like an iron clamp. All the snacks were stuffed into her mouth and even pressed against her throat.
"Hmm, hmm!"
Rong Mingxi felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but Su Ying's hand was covering her mouth. She couldn't and could only swallow it down.
"You, what are you doing? Let my lady go, let go now!"
The sudden change happened too quickly, and the people around didn't even have time to react before they saw Rong Mingxi rolling his eyes and about to faint.
Su Ying slapped the maidservant in the face who rushed over.
The maid screamed and fell several meters away, lying on the ground and unable to get up.
Su Ying's eyes fell on Rong Mingxi indifferently, "Did you swallow it?"
Rong Mingxi was already feeling a little suffocated, and the fear of approaching death made her tremble with fear.
"What are you doing, Princess? Miss Rong is about to die. Are you going to kill Miss Rong?" Su Yuyan suddenly appeared from somewhere and shouted anxiously.
Su Ying's gaze fell on her, and Su Yuyan felt a chill on her neck.
Just when Rong Mingxi was about to give up, Su Ying let him go.
Rong Mingxi fell to the ground and vomited violently.
"vomit!"
The violent vomiting sounds made the people watching the show frown, and their eyes changed when they looked at Su Ying.
Just now, they clearly saw murderous intent on Su Ying's face.
After spitting out all the snacks in her throat, Rong Mingxi felt like she was alive again. She glared at Su Ying angrily, "Su Ying, you dare to touch me, you're courting death!"
