Ying Xixi finished speaking expressionlessly, her critical eyes swept from Wen Muchen's hair to his feet, then she clicked her tongue and sat down on the soft couch beside her.
Wen Muchen: “???”
"Your Majesty, I wonder how I can prepare myself so as not to embarrass you?"
Wen Muchen took a deep breath and asked directly.
"Forget it, let it be. No matter how much preparation is made, it will be like this."
Ying Xixi took a look at Wen Muchen in his white clothes. He looked pretty good, but in the eyes of the women of the Silver Phoenix Dynasty, Wen Muchen was an ugly man.
It was true that no matter how he prepared, he couldn't make them think he was good-looking.
Then you don't have to prepare again.
Ying Xixi's words left Wen Muchen speechless.
He tried his best to suppress his murderous intent towards Ying Xixi, responded, and followed Ying Xixi out of the yard.
The two got into the carriage.
Ying Xixi deliberately arranged a smaller carriage just to hear Wen Muchen's thoughts.
Wen Muchen was also a little dumbfounded when he saw such a small carriage.
Ying Xixi sat down and patted the seat next to her, "Come and sit."
Wen Muchen pursed his lips and obediently went up to the carriage and sat next to Ying Xixi, his shoulder just touching hers.
[This carriage is too small. Prince Xi is a prince favored by the Queen, but he doesn't even have a spacious carriage?
Two people have to squeeze together in a carriage!
What the hell is this Spring Banquet? I don’t know if anyone will try to assassinate Prince Xi.
It’s a pity that I am fighting alone and have no one under my command. Otherwise, the palace banquet is such a good opportunity, and I could send someone to assassinate Prince Xi.
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to build up the power of my subordinates. Unfortunately, the king's men are watching me in secret, so I dare not act rashly.
It was clear that this woman, Prince Xi, had ignored me before, so why would she suddenly send someone to secretly watch me?
Did she find out something? That shouldn't be the case. I think I hid it pretty well.
Anyway, this development is fine now. If Queen Xi takes a liking to me, I can find an opportunity to kill her once I get close to her!
Ying Xixi had no expression on her face and was too tired to complain.
Hearing the people around her saying that they wanted to kill her, the shadow in her heart was as big as a palm.
The distance from Prince Xi's Mansion to the Imperial Palace is neither far nor near.
Wen Muchen kept muttering to himself all the way.
Ying Xixi was so disturbed by his thoughts that she didn't want to listen anymore, but the carriage was too small and they had to sit next to each other.
There was no other way, Ying Xixi could only bite the bullet and listen to Wen Muchen's thoughts along the way.
When she got off the carriage, her head was buzzing from the noise.
"Imperial sister, you are here with the royal husband."
Ying Chaoyang's voice came from the side.
Ying Xixi turned her head and saw Ying Chaoyang, who was still wearing red clothes, and her husband Wang was beside Ying Chaoyang.
She had a low profile and was of petite stature, only reaching Ying Chaoyang's shoulders.
"Royal sister."
Ying Xixi bowed.
"Royal sister, when you are free, let's go to the Land of Tenderness to have some fun again."
Ying Chaoyang winked at Ying Xixi, walked over and bumped her with his shoulder.
[She escaped like this last time, I won't let her escape again this time! ]
Ying Chaoyang's voice rang in Ying Xixi's ears.
Ying Xixi: “???”
Completely confused.
What is there to escape?
"Okay, let's wait for two days. But sister, let's go to another place. I'm tired of seeing those people all the time in the land of pleasure."
Ying Xixi also wanted to see what Ying Chaoyang was thinking.
"Okay, then let's go to Qiansi Tower. The type of man there is very similar to your husband Wang. Maybe you will like him."
Ying Chaoyang spoke in a low voice, loud enough for Ying Xixi and Wen Muchen to hear.
"There's actually something like this? Okay, I'll go check it out when the time comes."
Ying Xixi agreed readily.
Wen Muchen, who was standing aside, lowered his head and pursed his lips, looking thoughtful.
The group entered the palace.
Today, the Queen's daughters and sons all came with their husbands and princes-in-law.
As the only female-dominated dynasty on this continent, the Silver Phoenix Dynasty cannot allow princesses to marry princes from other countries, and princes cannot marry princesses from other countries to form an alliance.
Therefore, the princes and princesses of the Silver Phoenix Dynasty basically married royal relatives and nobles of their own country.
It is also convenient to bring family members to ordinary palace banquets.
The Queen is over fifty years old, but she is still in good health.
She was wearing a dragon robe and looked tall and straight. When she saw Ying Xixi, she smiled and waved at her.
"Xi'er, come here and let the Queen Mother take a look."
Ying Xixi walked forward with a smile and saluted the empress.
"Your Majesty, I have gained a lot of weight recently. Can you tell?"
"Haha, you, how are you fat? You're still so thin. Eat more and grow taller. Xi'er, how are you and Chen'er getting along?"
The Queen asked, holding Ying Xixi's hand.
Ying Xixi smiled, glanced at the people sitting around the table who were looking at her, and deliberately lowered her voice.
"Mother Queen, you know that Wen Muchen is not my type. Can I really not divorce him?"
The Queen sighed, "Xi'er, Chen'er is a good child. You can get along with him for a while. I don't ask you to send away those girls in your backyard, but you should get along well with Chen'er and give birth to a legitimate daughter as soon as possible."
"Mother Queen, then, I will try harder. If I really cannot get along with Wen Muchen, I beg you to allow me to divorce Wen Muchen."
"Okay, the Queen Mother approves."
The Queen took Ying Xixi aside and talked about some other things before letting her return to the table.
Faintly, Ying Xixi could hear people whispering at the table.
She could guess it without having to hear it clearly.
These people were just discussing how the empress doted on her, the third princess, and even doted on her more than the legitimate princess.
Ying Xixi sat back down next to Wen Muchen, still thinking about the Queen Mother's thoughts she had just heard.
The Queen Mother really loved her as a daughter and even wanted her to inherit the throne.
The Queen Mother also likes Wen Muchen and sincerely hopes that she can get along well with Wen Muchen.
But the Queen Mother didn't know that Wen Muchen really wanted to kill her.
It seems that the Queen Mother doesn't know Wen Muchen's origins either. What a pity. She had thought she could learn something about Wen Muchen's origins from the Queen Mother.
After the banquet began, Ying Xixi concentrated on eating the food on the table in front of her.
There are meals, fruits, cakes and drinks, which is quite rich.
Wen Muchen, who was sitting next to her, was a little surprised to see that Ying Xixi's attention was not on the dancer in front of her, but on the food.
Moreover, seeing Ying Xixi's relish in eating, he actually felt that the food, which looked bland, was actually delicious.
Wen Muchen ate a piece of cake and it tasted pretty good.
I just don’t know which pastry tastes better, this one or the one Ying Xixi ate.
