But Xie Xian didn't care at the moment. She grinned and took out a gold-embossed card from her bosom, "But the princess asked me to come." As she said that, she raised the card in her hand so that the people behind her could see it clearly. This way of hospitality could open everyone's eyes.

Li Xi felt that everyone's gazes were like sharp swords piercing her body, but as the eldest princess, her character had already become extraordinary. Even if she was found out, so what? After all, this barbarian girl from the north had been in this room with a man for such a long time.

Thinking of this, her complexion became much better. Her reputation was already ruined, and it was useless to protest.

She flicked her sleeves, as if looking at something dirty, and pointed at the beautiful Chu on the ground and asked, "Why are you here?"

Although she knew it, everyone still had to save face.

"Your Highness, I was taking a walk in the garden and accidentally..." As she said this, she secretly glanced at Xie Xian, like a bullied wife.

But with the bruises on his face, it was a bit funny. Everyone couldn't help laughing at his miserable appearance.

"Okay, in that case, you should follow Madam Xian from now on!" Li Xi was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. At the moment, she just wanted to make it happen quickly and confirm that they were having an affair.

Xie Xian narrowed her eyes. This woman still won’t give up!

She smiled and looked surprised, "Really? The princess is really generous, but there are so many of us here today, how can the princess be partial to some and not others? Ladies, do you want to go and pick some too? I heard there are many beauties in the backyard of the princess's mansion."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. A few widows were obviously tempted. It would be so prestigious to take the princess's lover out.

Li Xi didn't expect Xie Xian to do this to her. She was obviously targeting Xie Xian, but Xie Xian understood that everyone was involved and put her on the spot with just a few words.

The eyes of the people behind her were like thorns in her back. These women all had families, and many of them were the wives of her subordinates. If her words today were to get out, her subordinates would inevitably become disloyal. What man would like to be cuckolded?

Normally she uses all means to win people's hearts, and now she wants to send men to these women, so what has she become?

Li Xi was so angry that he was half dead. He couldn't admit this.

"Xie Xian, I only said I would send this person to you. When did I say I would send so many people away?"

"Tsk tsk! Princess is too stingy! Everyone is watching!" After saying this, Xie Xian looked at Li Xi with resentment, like a child who didn't get any candy.

"You're being unreasonable!"

"Oh? The princess invited me to her house, locked the door and sent someone away. Could it be that..."

Xie Xian looked at her with a look of pity, which made Li Xi feel uneasy. She took a step back in panic, flicked her sleeves and said in a weak voice: "Let's go!"

Seeing that the princess had already left, everyone followed with different expressions. Xie Xian sighed and said, "Tsk tsk! I haven't finished talking yet!"

Then he hung there from a distance with a ruffian look on his face, and everyone seeing this quickly distanced themselves from him.

Jiu Zifu walked quietly to the edge of the crowd, but was still seen by the sharp-eyed Xie Xian.

"Hey? What? Don't go. Didn't you promise that if I present the score of The Legend of White Snake to the princess, I will get a reward?" Xie Xian took three or two steps forward, held Jiu Zifu's shoulders, and almost slammed him to the ground.

Xie Xian spoke in a loud voice. After hearing what she said, some people knew what the princess was planning and shook their heads. Although the Queen of the North didn't look very smart, she was actually an honest person.

Jiuzifu was already looking bitter at this moment, "Oh! My dear aunt, please talk nicely if you have something to say. Don't do it. My small body can't withstand your attack."

Who is Xie Xian? She was schemed against by the eldest princess and was embarrassed by just a few words. How could she be so kind as to come and talk to him?

Jiuzifu wished he could grow two more legs, but when he saw Xie Xian's half-smile, he immediately wilted.

"We agreed to it at the beginning. It's really sad that Your Highness the Princess treats me like this. Or did my husband say something?" Xie Xian spoke slowly, but Jiuzifu already felt his back was soaked.

His life was still in the hands of Xie Xian. He had done something for someone but had messed it up. He said with a strong desire to survive: "My Lady, I tried my best. But the moment the princess heard about the young master of the Xie family, her expression changed. I didn't mean it!" Woo woo!

It is said that women's hearts are as unfathomable as the sea. Who knows what you are thinking? These two women are simply trying to kill him.

When the princess heard him mention Xie An, her face changed. Xie Xian was helpless because people said beautiful women were the root of trouble, but her brother was a handsome man who was the root of trouble. It was unbelievable.

She waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I won't bother with you. Here! Hand over the things and I will keep my word." As she spoke, Xie Xian took out a few pages of paper that she had prepared early in the morning, on which were written the words "Legend of the White Snake".

Jiuzifu didn't expect that even after the plan failed, Xie Xian could still present the music score as promised. He immediately burst into tears. Finally, he found someone reliable.

He happily stuffed the pages of paper into his arms, bowed and said, "Thank you, my lady!" Then he walked forward quickly. At least there was one thing he could get done.

He was in a hurry to go back and report, but he didn't notice Xie Xian's strange look behind him.

Li Xi returned to the back hall of the main hall. He was so angry that he pushed everything on the low table to the ground.

"Useless! You are all a bunch of useless people. You can't even handle such a small matter! I am so angry!"

She paced back and forth, holding up her skirt. "Where's Jiu Zifu? Didn't he say that Xie Xian presented the music score?"

"Tell him to come over quickly. If he doesn't give me the Hua family troupe, I will stop her from performing this play!" Li Xi has already figured it out. If she insists on getting those old musicians and taking the Hua family troupe into her hands, she will definitely frame Xie Xian.

To frame a northern queen for the sake of a few actors is not only vulgar but also low-class. He will definitely be looked down upon. When the news gets to Emperor Qi's ears, it will be a loss of face for the royal family and is extremely unwise.

As the eldest princess, Li Xi could not afford to lose face like this, but if it was said that she coveted the handsome boy of the Xie family and hated him out of jealousy, then her reputation would be further damaged.

By then, even my own niece will come to visit.

After thinking it over, she decided she could only vent her anger somewhere else.

"Where is Mr. Jiuzi?" Li Xi became angrier and angrier. The maids dared not even breathe. After a while, a servant said sharply, "Mr. Jiu is here. Someone just saw the girl from the Xie family handing a few pages of paper to Mr. Jiu."

Hearing this, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in his heart. The Xie girl was also stupid. Once she got the music score, she would definitely arrange for multiple acting troupes to perform it, making it impossible for the Hua family troupe to survive.

Just as Jiuzifu walked to the corridor and was only a few steps away from the main hall, he suddenly felt a numbness in his calf and fell outside.

His eyes widened, and amid the exclamations of the crowd, he plunged headfirst into the lotus pond next to him.
