Chapter 102 took action?

As soon as I asked, the Dingbei Marquis family from the Southern Kingdom had already arrived.

Yang Junyi winked, and he and Xia Xuemengya slipped in through the back door of the governor's mansion. The guide who followed them shouted in a hurry, "Dear guests, just go through the front door, dear guest~"

What a genius!

Yang Junyi and Xia Xue went back to their respective rooms in tacit understanding.

If people from the South really come, they must be invited to attend.

Hey, Xia Xue is really capable of handling such social occasions with so many people.

Sure enough, not long after, someone from the Governor's Mansion came to invite us, saying that dinner would be moved forward to 15:00 p.m., so please prepare it in advance.

What kind of preparations are there?

Xia Xue had a good sleep, and after she woke up, Xiaofang helped her to dress up. Because her identity was just an accompanying envoy and not the prime minister's wife, her seat must be at the back, which was what Xia Xue wanted.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Xue finally went out and went to the front hall of the Governor's Mansion which was specially used to receive guests.

When Xia Xue arrived, the people from the Southern Country had already arrived and were arranged to sit opposite Chu Zhenxuan, as if they were in the process of greeting each other.

Xia Xue found her seat, which was indeed very far back, just in front of the door. If she got bored later, she could quietly leave and no one would notice her, just like she came quietly this time.

It is said that the wedding customs in the South are quite particular. Gold, silver, copper, iron, and several pounds and ounces must be prepared. In addition, there must be an engagement ceremony. However, this engagement ceremony is usually replaced by relatives or housekeepers who are not as important as parents. It is indeed not easy for the Marquis Dingbei and his wife from the South to come in person this time.

However, this process was extremely cumbersome and it would probably take at least an hour to complete. She might as well eat something first as she didn't know how hungry she would be later.

At this time, a eunuch's voice came from the front, "The ceremony is over!"

Xia Xue:......

Is that it?

What about the tediousness?

Could it be that Marquis Dingbei led troops in battles when he was young, which led to his decisive and efficient character?

This is also possible, after all, there are obvious differences in the working styles of military generals and civil officials.

Thinking of this, Xia Xue glanced in the direction of Marquis Dingbei.

The people in front surrounded her tightly, so she couldn't see Marquis Dingbei from her position, but she could just see Marquis Dingbei's wife.

Xia Xue almost laughed out loud.

The whole body of the wife of Marquis Dingbei was covered with visible money.

For example, the jade hairpin on her head, the huge pearl necklace around her neck, and the beads on both arms. If it wasn't for this occasion, Xia Xue would have thought she was a jewelry seller.

As if she sensed something, Lady Dingbei looked in her direction.

Xia Xue lowered her head quickly.

This marquis' wife looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with. When I think of that confused Princess Qingping, I realize that her life is going to be difficult in the future.

At this time, the governor said something to start serving the dishes, and then more than a dozen maids came in and started to clean up.

Xia Xue's heart bled as she watched the snacks being taken away.

I said I had just eaten, why did you insist on seeing the Lady of Marquis Dingbei?

I don't consider her as a meal just because I look at her.

There are so many tables. When can I get a table?

So angry.

At this time, a chuckle came from the side.

Xia Xue looked in the direction of the sound.

Depend on!

Why is this guy next to me!

Shouldn't he be positioned forward?

"Are you curious about why I am here?"

"I really hate their cumbersome process, so I specially exchanged seats with the guest from the governor's mansion who was sitting next to you. He was very happy."

Looking at Yang Junyi's slapping face, Xia Xue really should have used that bowl of fermented glutinous rice soup just now to greet his handsome face.

Yang Junyi noticed that Xia Xue's eyes were moving around, and felt that she was thinking of some bad idea again, so he simply turned away.

At this time, the serving maid brought a bowl of soup first and brought it directly to Princess Qingping.

Qingping was stunned for a moment.

Qingping's personal maid Ju Ping whispered a few words in her ear.

Qingping finished the soup and drank it in one gulp. After finishing it, he nodded towards the wife of Marquis Dingbei.

The wife of Marquis Dingbei had a faint smile on her face, and seemed quite satisfied.

The maid hurriedly took the bowl away, and the moment she turned around, a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.

Xia Xue's heart skipped a beat.

But this is the governor's mansion of Da'an after all, so nothing should happen.

At this time, the maid's pace quickened.

"Fourth Master, Fourth Master."

Yang Junyi didn't expect Xia Xue to call him and was a little confused.

"Do you think that maid knows martial arts?" Xia Xue glanced at the maid holding the tray.

"What martial arts?"

Yang Junyi obviously didn't get the point.

"That one."

Xia Xue pointed directly over there.

Yang Junyi followed the direction of Xia Xue's finger and only saw the maid's back. However, judging from her agility, it was not difficult to tell that she was from a martial arts family.

"Why are you interested in that maid? How about I ask the governor for her for you tonight?" Yang Junyi curled his lips with a playful look on his face.

Xia Xue curled her lips and was speechless. Yang Junyi seemed to have become a different person since he no longer had the aura of an emperor. Or, this was his true appearance. In the past, it was because of the emperor's hat that he had to keep a sullen face.

At this moment, the scene in front suddenly became quiet. Marquis Dingbei stood up and went to toast Chu Zhenxuan.

Only then did Xia Xue see the appearance of Marquis Dingbei.

He was wearing a dark military uniform, which was very neat, without too many embellishments. His belt seemed to be hand-woven, with several black dragons embroidered on it, which also showed the status of Marquis Dingbei in the Southern Kingdom. In Da'an, except for the emperor, no one dared to use dragons.

Of course, except for the rebellious Prince Lu.

Marquis Dingbei has a handsome profile. The only flaw is a scar half the length of a finger on the lower part of his cheek. It is not scary, but reminds people of his heroism on the battlefield.

Compared to the wife of Marquis Dingbei, this marquis is indeed much more tasteful.

Following her line of sight, Xia Xue glanced at the prince on the other side of Marquis Dingbei.

"Bang!"

My head exploded instantly. How could it be him?

The man in the coffin shop, is he Ouyang Du, the son of Dingbei Marquis of the Southern Kingdom?

Thinking of the scene when he carried her into the coffin, Xia Xue suddenly felt sorry for Qingping a hundred times.

It’s all Yang Junyi’s fault!

While thinking, Xia Xue had already looked towards Yang Junyi.

Yang Junyi also looked back at her.

Xia Xue snorted and glared at him fiercely.

Yang Junyi: ...

How did I offend you again?

Yang Junyi: +40.

You still have the nerve to add points.

At this time, Ouyang Du seemed to have seen Xia Xue as well. He raised his glass to Xia Xue and then drank the wine in the glass.

Xia Xue:......

He must not be looking at me, definitely not at me!

Xia Xue shrank her head, but everything on the table had been put away so neatly that there was no place to cover her face.

I want to cry but I have no tears

At this time, Marquis Dingbei toasted Qingping.

When Qingping stood up, he swayed a bit.

Xia Xue looked at her bulging belly and her increasingly paler face, and suddenly felt something was wrong!
