Nannuo Yao’s departure didn’t badly affect the progress of the dinner banquet. Lin Chujiu and Lin Wanting now sat directly outside the screen and ate with Xiao Tianyao and the others on the table.
As the hostess of the banquet, it’s only natural for Lin Chujiu to sat beside Xiao Tianyao.
As soon as Lin Chujiu sat down, the servant served a new set of tableware. The servant was about to served Lin Chujiu the food, but Xiao Tianyao picked up Lin Chujiu’s bowl and personally pour her a bowl of hot soup, and intimately said: “Be careful, it’s hot!.”
Seeing this scene, everyone who was sitting around the table was shocked.
Is this really Xiao Wangye?
Xiao Wangye doesn’t care about the Crown Prince and Lin Chujiu’s past?
Doesn’t he really care or acting like he doesn’t care?
Ji Fengyu asked inside his mind a thousand times but soon returned back to his senses. He only wanted to find out the situation in the east. Seeing Xiao Tianyao giving Lin Chujiu so much face, he understood that this Xiao Wangfei was not a simple person. Ji Fengyu now knew what to do inside his heart.
The Crown Prince was not in a good condition.
He admitted that when Nannuo Yao said in public that Lin Chujiu keep chasing after him before, he was really happy inside his heart.
Xiao Wangye is a very powerful figure, right? But in the end, Xiao Wangye married the woman whose heart belongs to him, and whom he doesn’t even want. The happiness he felt was to the extreme level, but he can only rejoice inside his heart.
Xiao Wangye didn’t pursue the matter in public. The Crown Prince could understand why, because this matter was very difficult to explain, but…… ……
He didn’t expect that Xiao Tianyao will not get angry and even served Lin Chujiu in public. And he keep giving her a face, which was completely beyond his imagination.
When Xiao Zian and the Seventh Prince saw this scene, they were both happy for Lin Chujiu. But of course, they were happy for a different reason.
Lin Wanting took a glance, but silently took back her line of sight. She didn’t give any reaction at all.
Seeing what happened to Nannuo Yao, Lin Wanting understood that she and Lin Chujiu were now different. If she wants to step on Lin Chujiu’s head, she must have a higher status.
Lin Wanting silently looked at the Crown Prince and secretly decide inside her heart.
Even if she can’t become a crown princess now, she should become one in the future. In short, she will never marry the Western Prince, she will stay in the east and step on Lin Chujiu’s head.
*
Xiao Tianyao, serving Lin Chujiu was completely unexpected. So no need to ask about other people’s reaction, because Lin Chujiu herself was shocked, but she quickly calmed down herself.
Lin Chujiu quickly hide the shocked in her eyes, and act natural, as if it was not unusual.
“Wangye, you also eat vegetables.” Lin Chujiu accepted the hot soup, and then picked up her chopstick and clipped a vegetable for Xiao Tianyao to eat.
Originally…… ……
Everyone has finally calmed down, but Lin Chujiu’s movement caused everyone to stare at Xiao Tianyao once again.
Don’t say that only the Crown Prince and Xiao Zian knew that Xiao Wangye doesn’t like things that other people touched. Because Ji Fengyu also knew how Xiao Tianyao was obsessed in cleanliness. So of course, it will even more impossible to eat other people’s food. Lin Chujiu used her chopsticks to picked up a vegetable and tried to feed Xiao Tianyao. Xiao Wangye will definitely turn her down, right?
But…… ……
No!
Xiao Tianyao did not turn away his face, but also ate it.
Their eyes must be blind!
Why is Xiao Wangye so strange tonight?
Everyone stared at Xiao Tianyao without blinking, as if they wanted to dig a hole in his body. Because of this, Xiao Tianyao swept his cold eyes to everyone and said with dissatisfaction: “What? Are you all full?” There was no reason for them to stare at him.
*Cough, cough*
The Crown Prince chocked, but to cover up his embarrassment. He picked up the wine glass on the table, stood up and said: “Imperial Uncle, this prince offer you a toast. Before, this prince had a collision with Imperial Aunt, please Imperial Uncle, don’t take it to heart.”
How can the Crown Prince not understand the situation? He was his uncle, but his uncle put Lin Chujiu in his heart. However, what he couldn’t understand is, what part of Lin Chujiu was worthy to enter his Imperial Uncle’s eyes?
With such a thought in mind, the Crown Prince looked at Lin Chujiu’s eyes. Seeing Lin Chujiu’s face looked peaceful and calm, and her manners were graceful. His eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. Is this the Lin Chujiu that he knows?
Even after Nannuo Yao humiliated her, there was no trace of gloominess in her face, which can make people impossible to look at her.
With such a thought in mind, the Crown Prince’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a bit trace of sadness. The vulgar thoughts in his heart also disappeared.
The Crown Prince stood up, but Xiao Tianyao remained sitting. He only raised his cup but didn’t drink. He impolitely warned him by saying: “Crown Prince, your Imperial Aunt’s age is too young to be your elder. But remember, if there will be next time, don’t blame benwang for being impolite.”
To make it clear, before, he was only secretly supporting Lin Chujiu. But now, he expressed it very clearly.
The Crown Prince’s face became pale and said with a bit difficulty: “Yes, Imperial Uncle. This prince will remember.” He was only being polite, but Xiao Tianyao unexpectedly warned him.
In front of the two younger princes, the Crown Prince was disciplined by Xiao Tianyao. The Crown Prince couldn’t get out of the dilemma, he could only look at Xiao Tianyao cold’s face. He didn’t dare to say another word, he only sat down after drinking the wine.
After killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Xiao Tianyao didn’t attack the others after beating the Crown Prince. They just continued to eat their meal.
After the meal, the servants in the courtyard arranged another place for everyone to enjoy the scenery.
The Crown Prince was unwilling to go, especially, after seeing Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao harmoniously standing together.
The Crown Prince doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. Before, when he saw Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao standing close together, he doesn’t feel anything. But seeing the two of them tonight, he felt like something was pressing his heart.
However, in this kind of occasion, the Crown Prince was not allowed to go. He has to go with them, even if he doesn’t want to.
Xiao Zian was leisurely walking at the back, so he saw how uneasy was the Crown Prince. And he saw him spoke to Lin Wanting to the side. Xiao Zian couldn’t help but sigh with regret.
The Crown Prince will understand sooner or later that he has lost something.
Xiao Tianyao brought them to another pavilion not only to listen to the sound of rain but also to enjoy the scenery of other people’s houses. Of course, today’s weather was good, there was no rain at all. But to enjoy the scenery much better, Xiao Tianyao specially made an arrangement.
A group of people responsible for calling rain came to the pavilion. Not long after, the rain fell down from the sky. Looking up above, they saw the bright moon, but the rain constantly falling to the pavilion.
The raindrops sound like silver bells. The sounds seem to have rhythm, making people unconsciously intoxicated.
Before, Xiao Zian has leg problems, so he never went outside the palace. But because he read thousands of books, his knowledge was not less than the average person: “Listening to the sound of the rain is called the Night Wind from the ancient book. Imperial Uncle, letting us hear this wonderful sounds, this prince truly admires.”
“Small things.” Xiao Tianyao said with indifferent tone, he didn’t put Xiao Zian’s words in his heart.
Listening to the rain in this pavilion was just out on a whim. After finishing his business, if Su Cha didn’t remind him, he wouldn’t have thought of taking Lin Chujiu out of the capital.
When the Crown Prince saw Xiao Zian constantly smooth talking with Xiao Tianyao, he also didn’t let this chance slide: “Imperial Uncle, listening to the sound of rain has become quite popular. So before, this prince built a pavilion with the same design of this rain pavilion in his courtyard. It’s just, this prince hasn’t tried it.”
What Lin Wanting has said was right. If he wanted to stay as the crown prince and ascend to the throne. He needs his Imperial Uncle’s support. Or if he can’t win his Imperial Uncle’s support, he shouldn’t let the Third Prince win his favor…… ……
