Wealth and glory seek stability

There was fruit wine on the ladies' table. Today was Jane Xi's good day, and many people came forward to toast her.

There were old ladies who had lived in the palace for many years, as well as stewards and maids such as Qiangwei. After Jian Xi and Qin Shi had drunk, many people came to their seats with wine glasses in hand to toast.

"Girl, you will have a good life in the future, with endless wealth and glory, but you must drink this glass of wine."

"Mother Wang, I've drunk a lot today. If I drink any more, I'm afraid I'll drink too much."

"You just drank the Second Madam's wine, why can't you drink ours? It's obvious that the girl doesn't want to drink our wine."

Jian Xi had no choice but to drink three or four more glasses. Although the fruit wine was low in alcohol, she felt dizzy after drinking too much.

Xia and others naturally indulged them. Qian teased, "That's how I was toasted one by one at my last birthday party by Jian Xi and a few maids. Now she's going to have a taste of the same thing." She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter.

Jian Xi smiled bitterly. It was really a case of one's own fault. The retribution came too quickly.

After the mothers finished toasting, Qiangwei brought a few maids who were friends with Jian Xi to toast.

"You have become a noble, so we have to drink one by one."

"Sister Qiangwei, please forgive me. If I drink any more, I'm really going to get drunk."

"We are really embarrassed. Haven't people heard that drinking fruit wine can make people drunk? The girl doesn't give us face. Let's go." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Jian Xi hurriedly grabbed her, "Hey, I drink, is it not okay for me to drink?" Qiangwei is the head of the Xia family's office and represents the face of the Xia family. She hasn't got the indenture yet, so she still has to give her face.

Qiangwei, Chuntao, Jixiang, Ruyi...the maids from each room came one after another.

Even if Jian Xi had a body of iron, she couldn't bear it.

Covering his flushed cheeks, he made an excuse that he wanted to go out to sober up.

Baili Rongxuan, who had been paying attention to Jian Xi, followed him out.

Jian Xi stood in front of a chrysanthemum with a golden dragon and auspicious clouds, pulling at the petals with her hands.

"Xi'er."

There was a call from behind, and Jian Xi turned around.

The usually beautiful lady now looked confused.

Baili Rongxuan was intoxicated, "Xi'er, you are so beautiful." He reached out to touch Jian Xi's cheek.

Although Jian Xi felt a little weak and sore, her mind was still clear. She quickly took a few steps back and said, "Prince, please respect yourself." She knew that Baili Rongxuan had always been interested in her, and she usually avoided him whenever possible. Who knew he would be so bold today.

Baili Rongxuan refused to give up, "Xi'er, are you really so heartless to me?"

Jian Xi wanted to laugh, but she showed no mercy on her face, "Heartless? How can there be heartlessness without friendship? Does the prince think I should like you? What is it about you that I like? Is it your status? Your affection? Your talent? Your strategy? Your loyalty and responsibility?

Excuse me for being blunt, but you have nothing but your status. You like me only because of my appearance. There are many women in the palace who like the prince's status, and there are countless beautiful women. The prince can find them. I will pretend that I have never heard these words today." After saying that, he turned and left.

I'm really fed up with this sticky candy.

If it weren't for this identity, she would definitely let him know why the flowers are so red.

Baili Rongxuan is just like his father Baili Yanchen, both of them are cowardly and non-confrontational.

Jian Xi's words were sharp, and he had no way to refute them. He wanted to chase after Jian Xi and grab her, but was thrown to the ground by Baili Yanhua who suddenly jumped out. "Good boy, I was wondering why you came out. You actually have such thoughts about your aunt. If you dare to be so presumptuous again in the future, I will break your dog legs."

Baili Rongxuan was puzzled, "Third Uncle, are you related? Jian Xi is not a maid now. She has status. If I can be with her, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting closer to Shen Nanxing? Isn't this a huge benefit for our palace?"

Seeing Baili Rongxuan's fantastic look, Baili Yanhua increased the intensity of his movements and Baili Rongxuan immediately cried out in pain.

"Ouch, be gentle, Uncle San, my wrist is going to break."

"With you? You want to eat swan meat? Luckily you met me today, otherwise if Nanxing saw you being rude to his sister, you would forget about this chance."

Emperor Xuanyuan's health is getting weaker and weaker. The Wu'an Palace is just a nice name, but it is not favored after all. Shen Nanxing is a new noble and favorite minister. Judging from Emperor Xuanyuan's attitude, he obviously wants to leave Shen Nanxing to the future new emperor.

His stupid nephew still can't see the situation clearly.

Baili Rongxuan struggled desperately, and became angry out of shame, "What do you mean by toad? I am the prince! I can inherit the palace in the future. I want to marry her as a concubine because I think highly of her."

Baili Yanhua really laughed this time. It seemed that the hit was too light. He picked up Baili Yanhua and hit his stomach hard with his knee. Baili Rongxuan fell to the ground instantly. Baili Yanhua stepped forward and swiftly broke one of Baili Rongxuan's arms and legs.

Then he called the servant and said, "Come here, carry your master back. If the eldest brother asks, just say that I beat him."

The servants didn't dare to question him, so they brought a stretcher and carried away the yelling Baili Rongxuan.

Baili Yanhua rubbed his chin.

It seems that the hit was too light, and he still had the strength to scream.

Brat!

He doesn't even consider his own weight and still wants to take Jian Xi as his concubine. If that lunatic Shen Nanxing gets to know about this, beating him to death would be the least he can do.

Shen Nanxing was a complete madman on the battlefield. When he returned to the palace, Shen Nanxing repeatedly asked him to help take good care of his sister.

Baili Yanhua's heart skipped a beat when he didn't see Jian Xi at the banquet just now. He didn't expect that as soon as he came out, he would see his useless nephew trying to make a move on him.

This nephew has always been weak. I guess he became obsessed with sex after drinking some wine today.

I can be quiet for a few days after removing my arms and legs.

At least nothing can go wrong during Jian Xi's stay in the palace.

He has to ask Shen Nanxing to take care of his sweetheart.

Baili Yanhua still felt uneasy, so he found Xia and kept talking about how much Shen Nanxing was favored by His Majesty, and how she had a bright future ahead of her. He must be nice to Jian Xi.

Maybe Shen Nanxing's mumbling worked.

After the banquet, Jian Xi moved from her little house to Qiu Shu Zhai behind the Magnolia Courtyard. Xia also specially assigned her six maids and two nannies to do odd jobs.

This is how Jian Xi truly feels like being served.

She didn't have to worry about anything. When she was thirsty, she just needed to lick her lips and the maid would immediately serve her tea.

I felt a little sticky and wanted to take a shower, so I immediately arranged a flower petal bath.

Two people add water, and one person specializes in massaging to relax the shoulders.

I feel as happy as a god.

"Miss, there are three maids outside who want to see you. The leader says her name is Caixia." The old lady guarding the door knocked on the door and asked.

The fumigation of the mist sobered Jian Xi up a lot. When she heard the familiar name, she immediately said, "Mother Lao, please entertain them for me. I'll go see them after I take a shower."

"Yes."
