The main hall was quite magnificent; no matter how poor the underworld was, it still had to maintain the grandeur of a royal palace.
Xiaoxi and Fifth Brother sat at the same table, their seats were very close to the front, and Ao Tianxing's seat was right behind them.
Fifth Brother was of noble status, and no one else dared to question the fact that the siblings sat together.
As soon as the brother and sister were seated, the main character of the banquet made his grand entrance. King Chujiang, with a crown and veil on his head and wearing a dragon robe symbolizing his supreme power, walked majestically at the front.
Behind him followed the Queen, adorned in a phoenix crown and robes, exuding elegance and royal grace.
Xiao Xi saw that there were no other concubines behind the Queen and felt relieved. Fifth Brother was right; that lady had not married King Chujiang.
After King Chujiang made some polite remarks, everyone took their seats and the banquet began.
Xiaoxi felt someone looking at her, and she looked over abruptly.
Damn it, isn't that the young man in black?
He was dressed in a python robe and sat opposite Xiaoxi and the others, below King Chujiang. When he sensed that Xiaoxi was about to look over, he immediately turned his gaze to the other side and pretended not to know her.
Xiao Xi then looked at the lady next to him, the boy's mother. Today, she was wearing a palace dress that was different from the other noble ladies. It should be the official robes of a female official, which were both noble and dignified.
Xiaoxi wasn't very clear about the court official system in the underworld.
She immediately spotted two target individuals and couldn't calm down.
"Fifth Brother, I saw that lady and that boy. Take a closer look and see if that lady is Mom!" Xiao Xi kept tugging at Ye Xingling's sleeve.
Ye Xingxian made a gesture to calm down.
Because King Chujiang was speaking to him with a big smile on his face.
Xiaoxi was very anxious inside, but she had to maintain her composure on the surface.
A moment later, Xiaoxi tugged at Ye Xingxian's sleeve again.
She asked in a low voice, "Fifth Brother, that boy can sit next to King Chujiang. If he's not the Crown Prince, he's at least a prince. I want to go and find out more about him."
"Xiao Xi, I'll test King Chu Jiang directly later, don't panic!"
How could Xiaoxi not panic? She was in a complete panic.
Fortunately, the birthday gift-giving ceremony came soon after, and the atmosphere became lively, allowing Xiaoxi to finally relax her composed demeanor.
She picked out the green peas from the dish, grabbed a handful, and blew on them. The peas blew with great force, even bypassing the people kneeling in the middle to offer their gifts, and directly hit the boy on the head.
The boy was hit on the forehead and head by Xiaoxi's peas, unaware that there were still peas stuck in his hair ornament.
He was surprised when he saw Xiaoxi, and when he saw her brother, who turned out to be Xingjun, he knew that he had gotten into trouble.
He shouldn't have led them to the underworld, made them lose their memories, and abandoned his aunt and daughter by the roadside.
No wonder this little girl was so arrogant two days ago; she was looking for revenge.
The boy was hit by a pea, and his pale face immediately turned red with anger.
Xiaoxi became smug when she saw that the other party had reacted.
She spread her wide sleeves, made a flapping motion as if flying, then made a face and slashed her own neck with a chop.
The boy didn't understand what Xiaoxi meant. He even saw Xiaoxi using lip reading: Birdman, birdman, I'll kill you!
In an instant, the nightmare from two days ago, in which she almost killed him, reappeared.
The boy started coughing violently again; his asthma had flared up again.
Xiaoxi watched coldly, showing no sympathy whatsoever.
But the boy's mother suddenly became nervous and quickly patted his chest to help him catch his breath.
"Aheng, where's your medicine? Get it out now!"
The boy's face turned pale again, and he shook his head. Xiaoxi didn't know if he had lost his medicine or hadn't brought it with him.
Xiaoxi has good hearing; even though the main hall is noisy, she can still make out what they are saying.
However, when Xiao Xi saw how worried the lady was about her son, she suddenly felt jealous and clenched her sleeves tightly.
It's like your own mother loving someone else's child; who can understand that bittersweet feeling?
The lady said to the maid behind her, "Quickly go and ask Awang and Afu if they have brought the young prince's medicine."
The maid left in a hurry.
