Guests, slaves, fairies, and servants...... Almost all of them were dressed in dark clothes, half-hidden and half-hidden in the darkness. And himself, dressed in a dazzling and hateful red dress.

A chill slammed into her chest like a hammer, and her stiff neck staggered.

And looking at the full house, in addition to himself, there are only today's protagonists - His Royal Highness and the princess.

Xiao Qi only felt a "buzz" above his head, as if the muscles and bones around his body were removed one by one.

The princess's gaze slowly changed from initial surprise to incredible anger, and finally she simply turned her head away. There was also surprise in Mao Ze's eyes, but it finally turned into a long sigh.

Only then did she understand that today was the princess's birthday, and everyone agreed to wear dark clothes, and only let the second highness and the princess wear red clothes, in order to set off the newlyweds. And she was fooled into wearing this ridiculous red dress, which was a real act of trespassing! The princess must have misunderstood that she was deliberately wearing this ostentatious red dress to steal the limelight, and for a time she was speechless.

Fragmentary voices rose, and everyone was talking, mocking or accusing, as if mocking a female prisoner parading the street.

At that moment, Xiao Qi completely realized what a terrible mistake he had made. She froze in place, like a walking corpse, and forgot to cry.

Mao Ze raised his eyes, patted Changxian's shoulder, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, is this scene of a hundred lotuses still beautiful? Don't hide it from you, this monarch actually prepared a hundred and one red lotuses for the eldest princess's birthday-" He spread out with one hand and returned everyone's eyes to Xiao Qi, "This girl in red who is late is the princess's righteous sister, and she is also the one hundred and one lotus plants of this night banquet. This is also ingenious, you guys, but it is still amazing?"

Everyone in the audience looked suddenly enlightened, and the voices of arias came and went. Yu Nu hurriedly pulled Xiao Qi to sit down next to the lotus, and said in a low voice: "Second Highness will find a way to excuse you, don't stand so stupidly!"

Mao Ze raised the wine cup to invite the guests to drink, and for a while, the red light swayed and the figures scattered, and finally resolved the matter. After a long time, Changxian shirked himself drunk and left slightly, and his face was still extremely gloomy before leaving, obviously still angry about Xiaoqi's actions.

And Xiao Qi, hiding behind the pillar like a gray-headed mouse, the blood on his face faded, and he wanted to crush the red cloth.

She just wants to cry hard in this place where there is no one, crying until she is old. It would be good if he died now.

In fact, she was originally a numb person, born like an ant, the princess's misunderstanding, Yinying's frame-up, and the contempt of the guests were not the most important, what she cared about was what His Royal Highness thought of her. What she is most afraid of is to make a fool of herself in front of her beloved and embarrass her beloved.

Guilt gnawed at her heart like an avalanche, and the feeling of embarrassment was similar to that of ten thousand arrows piercing her heart.

The birthday ended early due to the departure of the princess, Xiao Qi threw the red robe into the lake, and then sat on the cold stone ridge in a thin underwear. The toes were soaked in the biting water, and at this time, it seemed that the extreme cold could make her feel a little better.

She didn't dare to go back to the clouds and the fog to see the princess, she didn't even dare to think of the princess.

When it comes to stupidity, I am really hopeless.

Tears splashed down the lake, causing ripples. For a long time, it was clear that she had done nothing wrong, so why did she have to endure so much!

The evil of people's hearts, this time she really saw it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel infinitely aggrieved, and my eyes were bruised and swollen from crying.

After a long time, she looked up from her deep knee socket and felt that someone was standing behind her.

The moon wheel cast a soft wave, and it was already very late. I didn't go back for a long time to ask for the guilt, I was afraid that the princess would send someone to find it.

She swallowed a few wisps and choked, "Yunu, don't hit me, I'm ...... I'll go back and plead with the princess right away......"

Looking back, I couldn't help but be stunned. The person who came was not a jade slave at all.

Mao Ze handed her a handkerchief from his cuff, "It's cold at night, bring your feet up." ”

Xiao Qi sat trembling and slumped on the stone steps, and said in a daze: "Your Highness...... Why are you here?"

He sighed softly and sat down on his knees beside her. At this time, he had already changed into a dark black shirt, and the color in his eyes was completely lost, and he could not see joy and sorrow.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to face his lost face, and choked up: "Your Highness, slave maid...... The slave and maid didn't mean it, do you believe it, Your Highness......"

As soon as this remark came out, she felt funny, she ruined a well-prepared birthday with a swagger, anyone would be annoyed, what face did she have at this moment?

Mao Ze said suddenly: "I know. A person's cultivation and background will be a metaphor in what she does, you come from Beiminghai, and you have lost your previous memory, you are destined to have no ghost ideas. I'm not an unreasonable person, and if you come in a red dress so recklessly, you know that you have been killed again. ”

The tip of Xiao Qi's nose was sore, "Your Highness, don't you blame me?"

He shook his head silently, "If you are to blame, Fang Cai should have sent you to the prison for the crime of disrespect, but he didn't save you from the siege." ”

Xiao Qi was sad and happy, and was speechless for a long time.

Mao Ze also looked at the moonlight in the sky, silent for a long time, such a lonely look, as if there were infinite things in his heart.

Xiao Qi saw that he was distracted, and he also understood that as the prince of Qingying, he was comforted by the entire Qingying, and it was not just a matter of lingering on the talent. She didn't dare to make a noise, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and sat quietly beside her.

After a long time, he said thoughtfully: "Look at the other side of the river, there is a black thorn. ”

Xiao Qi was at a loss for a moment, "Your Highness, this kind of thorny grass is everywhere on Qingying." ”

He nodded slightly, "You know, it means something else?"

Xiao Qi was speechless for a while, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a ring on the middle finger of Mao Ze, which just happened to be in the shape of a thorn. She said gloomily: "Xiaoqi is stupid...... I don't know what else that means.

He muttered: "That is Qingying's family crest, it represents the eternal submission and loyalty of the entire Qingying clan to the monarch, and it is the innate destiny of our clan. He said, holding up the ring on his phalanx, "Wearing this ring of thorns means bondage and resignation. Even if it is destroyed, there must not be the slightest betrayal. ”

Then he smiled wryly, "...... Alas, how will you understand. It's me who is bad. I shouldn't have told you so much. ”

Xiao Qi had never seen him look so depressed, his heart moved, and said, "Your Highness—"

He shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention it again, "It's late at night, go back to sleep." ”

For a long time, the silent lake raised a speck of dust, and a bitter storm would soon come.
