Quickly wear the host, don't panic, the person hasn't run far yet

Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a voice from the outer hall: "The Emperor has arrived."

Mu Huixue quickly lowered her head and stopped talking, and stopped looking at Mu Wanxi. Thinking about today's plan, a vicious light shot out of her eyes, "I want to see how long you can be so proud."

Mu Wanxi felt bored when she saw Mu Huixue swallowing her anger. It was like she was arguing with a child. She felt like she had been brought up to be childish.

Everyone stood up and bowed to welcome Emperor Yongjin.

Today, Emperor Yongjin was wearing a bright yellow nine-dragon court robe, which made him look more majestic than usual. He walked to the top and personally helped Mu Wanxi up, then said, "No need to be polite. Please take a seat, everyone."

Then he said some polite words, such as welcoming all the envoys who had come from afar to attend the fifth princess's wedding. Mu Wanxi just sat aside with a proper smile on her face, or nodded in agreement, without saying a word, trying her best to be a good mascot.

After Emperor Yongjin's long speech, the palace banquet officially began. Suddenly, people started talking, toasting each other, and the dancers in the main hall danced to the music, creating a lively scene where both the host and the guests were having a great time.

Mu Wanxi motioned for Luo Chen to sit next to her. She didn't know when the party would end, and she felt bad for him standing all the time.

Luo Chen thought that his master wanted him to serve her the food, so he knelt down neatly and served her the food skillfully. He now knew his master's taste very well.

He carefully removed the small bones from the tender white fish meat one by one, making sure it was completely clean before serving it to her.

Mu Wanxi felt helpless, but she did not correct him. She just indulged him and let him do what he wanted. The little secret guard was busy on the side and had a lot of fun.

Emperor Yongjin watched the interaction between the two, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment, he finally couldn't help but ask, "I remember Xier didn't like fish normally? Why do you seem to like it so much today?"

Mu Wanxi smiled with her eyebrows curved, and answered in a brisk voice: "Your Majesty, you don't know, I actually like eating fish very much, but I particularly hate fish bones, especially the small bones in the fish meat. In the past, the palace servants did not remove the fish bones carefully, so there would be some small bones left in the fish meat from time to time. I find it really hard to swallow. So I almost never eat it on weekdays."

Emperor Yongjin frowned slightly when he heard this.

"The palace servants who usually serve me are so careless."

Mu Wanxi said indifferently, "I have not told them about this matter. They just think that I don't like fish and meat, so there is no need for the emperor to vent his anger on them."

Emperor Yongjin disagreed strongly. Even if the master had not explained it, although removing fish bones was a small matter, it could be seen that they had not carefully observed the master's eating habits on a daily basis. In the final analysis, they were not attentive enough.

When Xier was a child, the palace maids who took care of her were all those around Concubine Li. After she grew up and lived in her own palace, she had her own people. But maybe Xier was no longer willing to talk about the fact that she ate fish, or maybe she had mentioned it when she was a child but no one cared. The more Emperor Yongjin thought about it, the more horrified he felt. How could he be deceived by that person's appearance and safely leave Xier to her to raise?

Emperor Yongjin's thoughts couldn't help but go back to the past, because he had just lost Wan'er, and he really didn't have the extra energy to take care of the young Xi'er. Concubine Li had always had a deep sisterly relationship with Wan'er, so he put Xi'er to raise her.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongjin closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

He turned his head and looked at the handsome young man who had just picked out the fish bones for Xier. A secret guard, he was even more attentive than the person who had always been taking care of Xier.

Emperor Yongjin couldn't help but feel some doubts.

Mu Wanxi didn't care about this at all. He would know it sooner or later anyway.

Halfway through the banquet, a pink-dressed maid came to pour wine for Mu Wanxi, but accidentally knocked over the cup. Luo Chen, who was standing by, was quick to block the spill with his hand, and then stepped in front of Mu Wanxi. The wine spilled all over the floor. Luo Chen was worried that the wine would splash on his master, so he hurriedly checked carefully and found that Mu Wanxi was clean without a drop of water splashing on her. He felt relieved.

Mu Wanxi looked at the palace maid who was already kneeling on the ground to apologize, her eyes narrowed slightly. How dare they use such an old-fashioned method?

Mu Wanxi has never been merciful to those who came to her door. Turning her head slightly to look at Emperor Yongjin who noticed the situation here, Mu Wanxi secretly sighed in her heart, my good father, this is not my fault.

It is not like the little princess to remain silent after being provoked.

"If anyone violates etiquette in front of the palace, he shall be caned 30 times to serve as a warning to others."

The little palace maid was shocked when she heard this, and fear instantly spread throughout her body. How could she forget that this person was never someone to be trifled with? Her body began to tremble uncontrollably, while she kowtowed desperately and kept shouting.

"Your Highness, please spare my life. I didn't mean to do that. Please forgive me."

Mu Wanxi had a blank expression on her face, with coldness in her eyes.

"Drag her away, Linglan, to supervise the execution."

Linglan understood and followed the guards beside her to retreat with the palace maid who was still shouting.

Many people in the hall noticed the noise, but no one dared to say anything. They all pretended not to hear it and continued to toast and chat with each other.

Looking at the wet collar of the little dark guard, Mu Wanxi suppressed her anger and said softly, "Go change your clothes."

Luo Chen shook his head. He was worried about leaving his master here alone.

"My subordinate is fine."

Feeling Mu Huixue's gaze on her, Mu Wanxi raised her head and looked into her eyes, with undisguised contempt in her eyes.

Mu Huixue bit her lip and tore the handkerchief under the table fiercely. She looked unwilling and the resentment in her eyes almost overflowed.

Mu Wanxi was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"No, it's so uncomfortable when it's wet. You need to change it. I'll go with you."

After saying this, he casually greeted Emperor Yongjin and left with his friend.

Emperor Yongjin's face darkened slightly. He nodded slightly without saying anything, but the inexplicable feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Mu Huixue was stunned. She took a long time to react and suddenly sneered. This Mu Wanxi was indeed a fool.

When Mu Wanxi brought people out, she found that the route chosen by the palace servant leading the way was very strange. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. After all, the original owner grew up in the palace. Only a fool wouldn't notice if you lead the way like this. If she could roll her eyes, Mu Wanxi would have rolled her eyes to the sky.

Luo Chen frowned, feeling something was wrong. Just as he was about to say something, Mu Wanxi stopped him with her eyes. Luo Chen understood and stopped talking, but remained on guard.

When they reached a courtyard, the pink-dressed palace maid who led the way bowed and said, "Sir, please go to the side hall with your maid to change clothes. Your Highness, please go to the main hall and wait for a while."
