Chapter 017 No Peace

Prince Lu's Palace is extremely bustling today.

Xia Xue arrived neither early nor late, just in time for Prince Lu to get married.

"Bow to heaven and earth."

"Bow to your parents."

"The couple bows to each other."

Prince Lu was quite generous. After his worship, he scattered some silver beans to the flower girls behind him.

The children were delighted and started to pick up the things frantically. Even some guests joined in the fun, hoping to bring good luck to Prince Lu.

After a while of making a fuss, the children sent the bride to the bridal chamber.

Afterwards, Prince Lu put together more than twenty tables in the main garden and filled them with food, snacks, nectar and the like.

Xia Xue frowned slightly, feeling that Prince Lu's wedding was a little too unique, but she couldn't tell what was different.

Xia Xue picked out a few of her favorite snacks and leaned aside to eat leisurely.

Xia Xue never wanted to mistreat her stomach.

The singing and dancing on the side were also good.

Enjoy the view while eating.

Where did Chu Zhenxuan go?

He should have left early.

"How do you, a maid, do your job?" A sharp female voice interrupted the temporary harmony.

A maid holding a tray knelt down hurriedly.

"Please forgive me, my lord."

She knew that all the people who came to the palace today were nobles, and she couldn't afford to offend any of them.

"Forgive me? Can you afford to wear this outfit?"

"My lord, it was you who bumped into me just now, and I dodged. Then you turned around and bumped into me, and I didn't dodge this time. It's my fault."

When Xia Xue heard this, she thought, Wow, interesting, this girl has a clear mind.

Xia Xue came over, holding a piece of pastry with a layer of white milky texture on it.

Only then did I see that the one who was causing trouble was Li Tingting, and Ningxiang, who was supposed to be still walking, was following beside her.

Oh.

Looking for a duo!

"You, a slave, are blaming me. In that case, I will invite Prince Lu over to see how they manage their servants."

As soon as the maid heard that Prince Lu was invited, she would definitely be punished for offending a noble.

I kowtowed quickly and said, "Please spare my life, my servant is at fault."

"Why is Miss Li so aggressive?"

"A servant like me is getting in the way of Miss Li?"

Li Tingting is a concubine's daughter and seldom attends such occasions. Now that she has reached the marriageable age, the Li family has no choice but to push her forward. So most of the people watching the excitement still don't know who Miss Li is.

When the maid heard the name "Miss Li", she wondered if it was the same Li family she knew. Their prince always said that there was a Li family in the court that should not be offended.

Thinking of this, the maid glanced at Ningxiang with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

When Li Tingting saw Xia Xue, her eyes shrank a little.

This woman Xia Xue was actually wearing the same clothes as the first time she saw her?

Is there any official's wife who would always wear the same outfit on important occasions?

Forget about Xia Xue. She has important things to do. Let’s not let this woman mess things up.

Xia Xue didn't know if she was being overly suspicious, but she felt that Li Tingting seemed to be really afraid of her today.

Is it because of the old lady before?

When Ningxiang saw Xia Xue, she hid behind Li Tingting.

"Ningxiang, are you planning to switch to the Li family? As the old lady's personal maid, what do you mean by following Miss Li instead of serving her?"

Xia Xue naturally knew that Ningxiang must not have found the old lady.

"I haven't found the old lady yet."

"If you can't find it, just follow Miss Li? Is there no one left in our Chu family?"

Ningxiang looked at Li Tingting as if asking for help.

"Mrs. Chu, it's hard for you to have a snack with your veil on."

Xia Xue glanced at the plate she was holding and said, "Ningxiang, come here."

Li Tingting saw that the topic had not been changed, and her face fell, "Madam Chu, shouldn't we be discussing this servant who bumped into me, instead of who Ningxiang should follow?"

After meeting three times, Li Tingting finally stopped pretending to be weak and spoke to her in a firm manner.

"This maidservant just said it very clearly. It was you who bumped into me, twice. What else do you want to say?" Xia Xue picked up the kneeling maidservant.

"You are the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you judge things based on the one-sided words of a maid?"

Li Tingting was so angry that her face turned blue.

"Of course not." Xia Xue smiled, moved closer, and whispered, "And your bad deeds."

"you"

"I think you are looking for trouble on purpose." Li Tingting gritted her teeth.

“Same here.”

As they were talking, Prince Lu and his entourage arrived.

Xia Xue took a quick look.

OMG!

Prince Lu and Chu Zhenxuan walked on both sides, with the Emperor and Concubine Rong in the middle!

On such an occasion today, the dog emperor actually brought Concubine Rong with him!

As soon as Li Tingting saw Rong Fei, a bright smile instantly appeared on her face and her back straightened.

Li Tingting glared at Xia Xue provocatively and turned to salute.

Xia Xue naturally followed suit.

When Yang Junyi arrived and saw that it was Xia Xue, he instantly felt a headache.

No wonder my ears were buzzing just now.

Yang Junyi +1.

What a huge shadow I've cast for the dog emperor, does he get extra points just by seeing me?

Chu Zhenxuan and Yang Junyi's ears began to buzz.

Yang Junyi thought to himself, I really can't stand seeing this woman. Seeing this woman gives me a headache.

Yang Junyi +1.

"What are you doing?" Prince Lu saw that the atmosphere was not right and asked.

"Just now, the maid accidentally bumped into me, but Madam Chu insisted that I was the one who bumped into the maid." Li Tingting directly attributed the maid's words to Xia Xue.

"Ting'er, have you ever offended Madam Chu?" Concubine Rong asked.

"Of course not. My sister has always been very courteous to Madam Chu. It is possible that Madam Chu misunderstood my sister and the Prime Minister..."

Concubine Rong raised her eyebrows, "Madam Chu, Ting'er is still young and not very sensible. If she offends you in any way, please do not bother with her for my sake."

The conversation between the two sisters seemed like an ordinary inquiry, but Rong Fei's last sentence actually confirmed her accusation against Li Tingting.

This Concubine Rong is a master at confusing right and wrong.

But Li Tingting is so shameless that she openly pointed out that I had misunderstood her and Chu Zhenxuan and wanted to ask the dog emperor for a marriage?

Xia Xue suddenly laughed.

"You are too polite, Madam. It's not that I won't give you this favor, but I just can't."

Concubine Rong smiled.

"First of all, Miss Li has never offended me, because every time I have a good reason, I have always made Miss Li feel ashamed."

"Secondly, I did not misunderstand Miss Li and the Prime Minister, because the Prime Minister has expressed from the beginning that he has no interest in Miss Li. I really want to find a concubine for the Prime Minister, and have been looking for a long time, but the Prime Minister is not interested in any of them at the moment, especially Miss Li."

"Again, today's matter, who is right and who is wrong, cannot be said with words."

Concubine Rong's face suddenly darkened.

"You" Li Tingting pointed at Xia Xue and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

How dare Xia Xue embarrass Concubine Rong in front of so many people!

Yang Junyi laughed, "So Mrs. Chu has a different story about what happened today?"

"nature."

"First, please ask Miss Li to describe how she was hit."

Li Tingting was a little embarrassed and simply said something, but the maid was looking around and didn't notice that she bumped into her with the tray.

"Well, now that I've finished speaking, I'll cover for you all."

As Xia Xue said this, she walked up to Li Tingting.

"Look, if I were a maid holding a tray and saw someone coming the other way, I would instinctively avoid them."

Xia Xue leaned to the right.

"If I hadn't dodged, the soup in the tray would have spilled out."

Xia Xue bumped into Li Tingting's arm, and the white foam on the snack splashed onto Li Tingting's left shoulder.

"What if I dodge and Miss Li bumps into me again?"

Xia Xue pulled Li Tingting.

Li Tingting stumbled and bumped into Xia Xue, and the snack in Xia Xue's hand all over Li Tingting's back.

Yes, the back!
