The slave next to him was a man who knew how to look at it, and took the lead in stepping forward and then introduced to Li Jicai that the golden lady in front of him was Princess Feili of Dadan Kingdom, with an extraordinary identity. It is an honor for Li Jicai to be here to participate in the banquet, and she should be doubly honored.

Li Jicai was a little dazed, why did a princess invite her to a banquet? She's just a nobody, is it because of Qi Qingchu's relationship?

Li Jicai glanced at Qi Qingchu suspiciously, and saw that the other party's face was very solemn. Li Jicai secretly said in his heart that it was not good, is this something wrong? It's just a shame for someone of her status to come to a banquet.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm just an ordinary woman, I don't know why you invited me to the banquet?" Li Jicai didn't hide it, and asked directly.

"Presumptuous, how can you call yourself me to the princess? Aren't there any rules at all?! It was none other than Luo Lianfang who was reprimanded.

Li Jicai's old face was red, she didn't know the rules of this rule, and she often had nothing to do with Qi Qingchu and them calling me me. Is there anything I need to pay attention to this?

"Your Royal Highness Princess, I thought that I came here today just to meet you, but I don't know why?" Qi Qingchu didn't want to see Li Jicai being harassed, so he opened his mouth to save the scene, in fact, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Princess Feili gourd.

"This hall admires a heroine like Miss Li, she has been in the capital for a long time, and she has heard some deeds about Miss Li, and she is shocked and admired, and she originally wanted to invite Miss Li to talk about it alone.

It's just that I just want to invite two of them, so I just thought about inviting them together, but now it seems that I did something bad with good intentions, but how many people are not in harmony? ”

Princess Feili's words were also a bit sharp and bold, directly implying that the relationship between the three of them was boring, so I wanted to see your reactions.

As a result, just as she imagined, Li Jicai's expression suddenly became a little weird, Qi Qingchu was not much better, Luo Lianfang's face stinked a lot, she talked like this, if she didn't react, wouldn't it be very boring.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the grass people are vulgar and rude, and they don't understand the rules on this table, so they are really flattered, and they didn't take care of it carefully when they came over today. Unkempt and very indecent. Please let the princess let the grass people go first. ”

Because I don't know what my official rank belongs to, it's not easy to be called a lower official, because the other party is a princess of another country, so it's better to call myself a commoner for the time being, and it won't seem too bad if it is passed on.

"I really don't blame you for this, it took a lot of effort for my guards to find you when they went to look for you, and I heard that you were on the ridge when I found you at that time, and you were really a good female official and a good agricultural official who worked hard for the people.

As for today's dress, it doesn't matter, I'll ask the maid to cook for you, so you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

Princess Philippe waved her hand, indicating that it was nothing. recruited a maidservant and took Li Jicai down, and took her down to dress up.

Look at what this woman who can't get on the stage will be dressed up into, it is estimated that it is still rustic, after all, she just came from the mud, even if Princess Philippe doesn't say it, but she is very disgusted in her heart.

Li Jicai glanced at Qi Qingchu awkwardly, but the other party still didn't speak, twisting his eyebrows and not knowing what he was thinking. Since Qi Qingchu didn't insist on anything, there was no way to forcibly get out now, in that case, he could only accept the arrangement honestly.

I don't know why, Li Jicai always has a feeling that he seems to be a clown. It seems that he is surrounded by everyone watching his embarrassment, which is really embarrassing and awkward.

The most important thing is that Qi Qingchu didn't say anything except for helping her speak at the beginning and signaling her to go first.

And this feeling of going first is also like a kind of disgust.

So much so that Li Jicai had mixed feelings in his heart and was very uncomfortable.

was taken down and dressed up silently, and Li Jicai felt like a fool.

After Li Jicai left, Qi Qingchu said slowly: "Does Her Royal Highness the princess know?" This is the subordinate of the Fourth Highness today, this is not done without the master's permission, isn't Her Royal Highness the Princess worried about angering the Fourth Highness? ”

Qi Qingchu's words already implied a warning, saying that Princess Feili should not get Li Jicai over, and she would not let others go.

Princess Philip was a little surprised, and a little strange. A strange smile appeared on her bewitching and beautiful face, and then approached Qi Qingchu.

"It's just to invite her to the banquet, don't be so nervous, not to mention that aren't all acquaintances here?"

Luo Lianfang couldn't help but speak coldly: "Your Royal Highness Princess." How did you know that we knew each other? ”

"Oh, are you blaming Her Royal Highness the princess? Looks like I've done something bad with good intentions!" Princess Philip suddenly made a look of tears.

Luo Lianfang almost applauded her acting skills.

Qi Qingchu also knows what kind of temperament Princess Feili is? It's also very displeasing to see her pretend like this. But in order to get by on the scene, he didn't speak.

Princess Feili felt that this delicate performance did not arouse the pity of the other party, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It's getting late, let's have a feast." Because it is only a private small banquet, there is no need to pay special attention, and the slaves and maids serve wine and food at one time. A variety of strange and beautiful plates, a variety of exquisite dishes, and a strong aroma of fine wine.

It can be seen that the dishes of this banquet are not only those of Chu State, but also those of Dadan.

After all, there are still some differences in the customs and habits of the two countries, but Dadan is much behind the Chu State, so many things are also imitated and learned, passed on. In general, the difference is not particularly large, and the taste is always acceptable.

When toasting, Qi Qingchu was a little careless, all he thought about was Li Jicai, how is Li Jicai who was taken down now? Could there be some conspiracy in this?

Princess Fei Li seemed to see his thoughts, and asked as if unintentionally, "Lord Qi is worried about Miss Li?" Don't worry, I won't eat her. ”

Her Royal Highness the princess laughed, but the court was busy with official business, and many things still needed to be solved urgently. When I came to the banquet today, I was already busy and took a break, and I was naturally a little distracted by some worries in my heart, and I asked Her Royal Highness the princess to bear with me. ”

"Lord Qi is a minister of the humerus, dedicated to the people and the king, and he is really a model for the times."

"Her Royal Highness the princess has praised it."

This kind of polite words, which have little real feelings, taste the same as chewing wax, have no meaning.

Luo Lianfang watched the back and forth between the two, and the expression on her face completely sank. After a long time, she finally understood what the other party's idea was.

No wonder the good man invited her inexplicably, it turned out that the drunkard's intention was not her, but Qi Qingchu.

Princess Feili's eyes were full of gruesome affection, which made Luo Lianfang, who already had no appetite, even more disgusting. But helplessly, everyone's beautiful demeanor made her unable to attack on the spot.

Fortunately, under the concealment of the night, he was able to give a few cold glances.

Presumably, this princess Feili must have heard about her childhood sweetheart with Qi Qingchu. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found her, and brought her over to be tempted.

Regarding the matter with Qi Qingchu, Luo Lianfang no longer planned to hold out any hope. If Qi Qingchu really had the slightest affection for her, he would have come to her house a long time ago and proposed to the elders, and he would not have waited until now, let alone let her become a joke in the entire capital.

Once, the people in the entire capital thought that she would marry Qi Qingchu.

And now, the Luo family has announced that they want to recruit a son-in-law, without her consent at all, of course, Luo Lianfang also knows that she has no choice.

Therefore, what Princess Philippe did today made Luo Lianfang feel deep anger, and the other party seemed to be showing off, yes, showing off in front of her.

Speaking of which, as the children of the Luo family, they are no worse than the children of the prince's and minister's family or the children of the monarch's family, but the treatment they enjoy on the surface is not as good as theirs, but in fact they get no less than them.

However, Luo Lianfang was not satisfied with this.

She just doesn't want to fight, if she wants to fight, Qi Qingchu will definitely be hers. It's just that she doesn't want someone who doesn't like her.

In addition, she didn't even have a single idea, and when she came over today, she didn't expect to see Qi Qingchu, who had been lost for a long time.

Qi Qingchu has no heart. Luo Lianfang felt that he was good to him, he couldn't see it at all, not at all.

"Miss Luo, but the dish is not to your taste? When I saw you, I didn't seem to have moved my chopsticks a few times. After chatting, Princess Feili did not forget to pay attention to Luo Lianfang's face, only to see that the other party's face was very gloomy, as if she was very dissatisfied.

couldn't help but smile slightly, this woman really likes Qi Qingchu, right?

Otherwise, why do you feel so bad?

Well, it's not good to be able to see your rival, Princess Feili, but I feel in a good mood.

"No, today's dishes are very exquisite and exquisite, thank you for your hospitality." For the words on the scene, Luo Lianfang has been used to coping, even if her face is expressionless, she can spit out those enthusiastic words in her mouth.

She is a child of the Luo family, and she shows the upbringing of the Luo family to the outside world, of course, she can't be looked down upon, otherwise she is disgrace to the Luo family.

"Oh, it's been so long, why haven't you seen Miss Li come back? The main hall will go and see it for himself, and the two of you will sit here for the time being, and the main hall will come later. ”

Princess Philip seemed to suddenly remember something, and took the initiative to mention Li Jicai, who was taken down to clean up and dress up. I offered to take a look. When everyone heard this, it was definitely inconvenient to stop her, so they went with her.

Her Royal Highness the Princess's backyard is by no means inconvenient for outsiders to enter.
