The banquet officially began. Xiao Tianyao specially set up two tables with a screen in between. Lin Chujiu and Lin Wanting were both women, so they stayed on the other side of the screen. While Xiao Tianyao entertained Ji Fengyu, the Crown Prince, Xiao Zian and the Seventh Prince.
Seeing this arrangement, the Crown Prince's mouth couldn't help but twitch. He couldn't understand Xiao Tianyao's intention in doing this, but he didn't dare to question him.
Liu Bai calculated the time just right. When Xiao Tianyao and others were about to move their chopsticks, Nannuo Yao's arrival was announced by the servant.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Nannuo Yao's face doesn't look so good, her clothes looked dirty and a bit stinky.
Whoever was trapped in the afternoon until the sky gets dark, would never be in a good mood.
Nannuo Yao was so sure that Lin Chujiu deliberately trapped her to embarrass her.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyao should greet Nannuo Yao, so that she could take a seat, but … …
Xiao Tianyao completely ignored her. He looked at his chopsticks and slowly picked it up. He didn't put Nannuo Yao in his eyes.
Ji Fengyu's mouth twitched but acted like he didn't see anything. Xiao Zian turned his head to the side and talked to the Seventh Prince, looking all so busy.
Seeing the look of the people around him, the Crown Prince couldn't help but frown: What is Imperial Uncle's doing?
Seeing no one bother to greet her, Nannuo Yao doesn't know if it's alright to take a step, so she didn't dare to move. She just stood there straight, while wonder what was going on.
The Crown Prince was quite dissatisfied. Obviously, everyone deliberately doesn't want to open their mouth. The Crown Prince, who was left with no choice, greeted the guess on behalf of Xiao Tianyao.
"Princess Nannuo Yao, you came just right." The Crown Prince said and nodded his head to servant next to him: "Help Princess Nannuo Yao to take her seat."
"Princess Nannuo Yao, please… …" The servant stepped forward and guided Nannuo Yao to take a seat next to the screen, but Nannuo Yao didn't pay attention to him. She went close to the Crown Prince and bluntly asked: "Your royal highness, the crown prince, can I seat here?"
Nannuo Yao said to the Crown Prince, but her eyes fell to Xiao Tianyao.
Lin Chujiu trapped her in the backyard, so she will sit next to Xiao Tianyao. She doesn't believe that Lin Chujiu will not die from jealousy.
"This… …" The Crown Prince was embarrassed. This was not his home. Can his words be counted?
In the face of Nannou Yao's eager gaze, the Crown Prince doesn't know how to refuse. He looked at Xiao Tianyao and said: "Imperial Uncle, you see… …"
Xiao Tianyao gave the Crown Prince a face. He put down his chopstick, elegantly took his teacup and eloquently said: "There are differences between men and women. The Southern Princess doesn't understand this rule, but Crown Prince, do you also not?"
In this sentence, not only Nannuo Yao was slapped in the face, but also the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's face reddens in embarrassment: "Imperial Uncle, you misunderstood this prince."
"It is good if it's only just a misunderstanding." Xiao Tianyao faintly looked at the Crown Prince and then moved away from his eyes. His eyes fell to Xiao Zian and Ji Fengyu: "You two don't need to be polite. Treat this place as your home. Seventh, you too, you try to eat more."
"Thank you, Xiao Wangye." Xiao Zian and the other two said in unison. Then, the three picked up their chopstick and ate, completely ignoring the crown prince.
People with discerning eyes know that Xiao Tianyao held this dinner banquet to take revenge for Lin Chujiu. The Crown Prince didn't bully Lin Chujiu just once or twice. So, Xiao Tianyao will definitely beat the Crow Prince again and again.
The Crown Prince became angry, he didn't expect that Xiao Tianyao will not give him a face in public, but… …
When Xiao Tianyao's pair of cold eyes swept over him, he became timid again.
When Ji Fengyu saw it, he also took back the idea of helping the Crown Prince. He just slowly eat his meal.
*
The Crown Prince didn't dare to help Nannuo Yao again, so Nannuo Yao awkwardly stood in the same place with burning eyes. This shameful event was recorded under Lin Chujiu's head.
When the servant noticed the awkward situation, he guided Nannuo Yao to take a seat again. Nannuo Yao didn't refuse this time. She coldly snorted and went over the screen. But… …
*Shattered*
As soon as Nannuo Yao walked into the screen, the sound of shattering bowls sounded. Even her dissatisfaction to Lin Chujiu was heard: "Xiao Wangfei, is this how you treat your guest? You trapped this princess alone in the backyard, you didn't wait for this princess to sit first before you eat. Do you have this princess as your guest in your eyes?"
Hateful events came one after another, so Nannuo Yao, who was so proud could no longer suppress her anger. She released everything to Lin Chujiu as soon as she saw her.
Lin Chujiu looked at the half-ruined food, then frowned: "Princess Nannuo Yao, if you want to make trouble without a cause, don't blame it on me. You're welcome." This Princess Nannuo Yao, does she think all the people in the East will bow down their head on her and let her arrogance aside?
"You're welcome, are you being polite to me? How should I say this, it seems Xiao Wangfei you don't understand how to treat this princess as a guest, right?" Nannuo Yao's voice was so loud, it was very clear that she wanted Lin Chujiu's image to get ugly.
When she finished saying those words, she continued to say: "Oh, I forgot, Xiao Wangfei's mother died so early, so no one taught you these things. Then, I guess it doesn't matter."
*Bang*
Lin Chujiu slammed the table and stood up, then said: "Princess Nannuo Yao, apologize!"
Lin Chujiu doesn't really want to bother to care with Nannuo Yao, but there was a limit to everything. Lin Chujiu had no feelings for this dead mother of her, but it doesn't mean she will let Nannuo Yao humiliate her.
She admits that she had no mother in her previous life or in this lifetime, but it doesn't mean she didn't learn anything.
"Apologize? Are you kidding me?" Nannuo Yao showed a sly smile on her beautiful face.
Remembering that she was trapped in the backyard this afternoon, and the fact that Xiao Tianyao humiliated her, Nannuo Yao really wanted to kill Lin Chujiu.
Nannuo Yao proudly walked closed in front of Lin Chujiu, then she contemptuously hit the sorest part of her, by saying: "You're nothing but a sly flower, a woman who's chasing after a man. This princess only calls you Xiao Wangfei to give you a face."
Nannuo Yao said in public. Half of the reason for this was, she loses her mind in anger, and she wanted to shame Lin Chujiu.
She doesn't believe that Xiao Tianyao didn't care about Lin Chujiu and the Crown Prince's past relationship. She doesn't believe that Xiao Tianyao truly fancies the woman that the emperor gave to him.
"Princess Nannuo Yao, you are really good… …" Lin Chujiu was really angry this time, she doesn't want to give Nannuo Yao a slap in the face, but: "Princess Nannuo Yao, this slap is the price for speaking the unspeakable. My matter in the east is not something for an outsider like you to judge."
Lin Chujiu's entanglement to the Crown Prince was not a secret in the East. Many people knew about it. Nannuo Yao mentioned it in the face of Xiao Tianyao to make his heart feel uncomfortable, and so that Lin Chujiu will have bad luck.
*Pa-*
When a loud slapping sound was heard, not only Nannuo Yao was shocked, but also the men to the other side of the screen, including Xiao Tianyao, was shocked.
Is Lin Chujiu's temper still so bad?
However, Nannuo Yao really shouldn't have played around. Lin Chujiu and the Crown Prince's past relationship was something she shouldn't have mentioned… …
