Chapter 44: Birthday Greetings (4)
Everyone heard it, and Nan Mingyi kept leaving for Xia.
The eldest prince was already good friends with Nanming, and he couldn't lose face on this occasion, so he had to say:
"Then you are responsible for leading Miss Xia," said with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Thank you, Your Highness" Nan Ming came over to call someone as soon as he finished speaking, and came over with a smile and said:
"Miss Xia, how about going together?"
The more Xia Li listens here, the more wrong it becomes, she is a person, not a thing, why can't she make her own decisions, who to follow to have a meal has to be ordered by others, or this famous son of the south came to lead her, just looked at her at the end of the front flower courtyard There is a problem, and now she is still running to set almost, the last battle to kill her is not counted! It's strange that she gives him face.
replied angrily: "No, I have decided to go with the second prince now"
The team that had been moving forward stopped again because of her words, and the eldest prince looked at it sharply, and then raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Go, don't delay Your Highness's time for irrelevant people" There was obviously unhappiness in his voice.
"Yes" After everyone answered, they were silent one after another, raised their feet and walked away in a mighty manner.
Xia Fei ran over to Xia Li with a brisk walk and said, "You are a fool, it is better to lock you up at home." ”
Xia Li didn't bother to quarrel with this person, so he turned his face to the side and didn't reply.
Nan Ming had a different emotion in his eyes, looked at Xia Li with a smile and hugged his fists and said, "Miss Xia, you ...... I know for myself", thinking about when his famous son did this to a girl, he secretly scolded himself for being cheap.
Xia Li didn't say anything, she just didn't want to go with Nan Mingyi, did these people put her on the side of the second prince?
Besides, how did the second prince offend these people, all of them seemed to have a deep grudge, is it so serious? Is this the way of the court that she doesn't understand?
Seeing these people walking over, Xia Li looked back at the second prince who had not spoken all this time and said:
"You have a grudge against them?"
The second prince didn't say anything, only turned his head to look at her for a moment before saying, "You're not afraid of death?"
Xia Li curled the corners of his mouth, "I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid, it's just that the person who killed me will take some trouble, and you haven't replied to my words yet!" ”
The second prince continued: "Whether there is a grudge or not depends on what interests are linked, the advantages and disadvantages, the mortal enmity can be concluded, and on the contrary, it is a close friend."
Xia Li said there: "This time I was affected by you, and I can be regarded as repaying your favor."
The second prince raised his eyebrows, "This doesn't count"
This is not a big deal, Xia Li continued:
"Didn't you deliberately put me with the gang?" Otherwise, the man would have made a noise when she walked towards the pavilion, instead of mistaking her for no one inside.
The second prince was expressionless, "The girl is sometimes smart and sometimes stupid, just now Nan Mingyi gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it, isn't it a little too late to say anything now?"
"So, I can only be considered unlucky, huh! Let's see if your eldest prince brother is looking for trouble with you, who will help you."
"He won't look for me, but for you," the second prince, Chu Ye, said this and strode like the team in front.
Xia Li was topped by this person and had nothing to say, as if he didn't say anything right, and he was depressed.
Chu Han was a little scared, and pulled the sleeve of the young lady, "What should I do, Miss, the eldest prince seems to be angry just now, he won't do anything to us!" ”
Xia Li patted her hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, there are so many people, what can he do to me, he is angry with him, we will do ours, we will leave after eating in a while"
"Okay" Chu Han felt at ease, and when he heard the young lady's explanation, it seemed that he was not afraid of anything.
The master and servant followed at the rear.
When the two arrived at the birthday banquet, both men and women had already sat down, Xia Li had not seen his brother and was a little worried, and finally saw Xia Ye and a son sitting in the corner of the birthday banquet.
I don't know if it was intentional or what, the male and female seats were not separated by screens, and later she learned that because the men and women led by the eldest prince in front of her had already sat together.
In this way, it is difficult for the Sima family to set up a rule that men and women do not sit at different tables.
Xia Li was happy to see her brother, and led the first cold past, she sometimes forgot her identity as a young lady of the Shijia family.
Xia Ye was taken aback when she saw her sister coming, and then said with a smile: "Li'er, why are you here?"
"I haven't found you for a long time, and I thought you didn't come!"
"How so? Sima Gongzi is my classmate," Xia Ye pointed to the man beside him.
The boy smiled and said:
"Mr. Xia, can you introduce your sister to me, it's easy to be confused when you say this, Miss Xia, I'm Sima Huai"
Xia Li noticed the people around her brother, it turned out that the son of the Sima family was her brother's classmate, otherwise how could her brother come, she hurriedly gave a salute and said:
"Sima Gongzi, I'm Xia Li, Xia Ye's sister"
Xia Ye's face stiffened, he actually forgot to introduce it, and said, "Didn't I forget?" It's not too late to know each other now, by the way, Li'er, where are you sitting? ”
Xia Li didn't plan to eat, but he just wanted to find his brother, but now he was at ease, and said: "I'll go back when I sit down, brother, when will you go back?"
Xia Ye looked at Sima Gongzi, they still have an article! In that way: "Brother may take a while, if you are tired, go back first!" ”
"Okay, brother, I have to go back early!"
After Xia Li finished explaining, he said goodbye to Sima Gongzi and left.
It's just that she walked not far away, and she heard Sima Gongzi say to her brother: "You have such a beautiful sister, why didn't you introduce it to me earlier, I knew it was too late."
Xia Ye smiled, "What does it matter to you if my sister is not beautiful, don't forget that you are the one who is married, look at your fiancée is here today!" ”
"You don't mention her, and then you punish the wine"
Xia Ye hurriedly shut up, "Okay, let's not say it!" ”
Xia Li didn't know the past of Sima Gongzi and his fiancée, so he only led Chu Han to sit down somewhere no one.
She saw that the table headed by the eldest prince at the front was the most eye-catching, the men were rich and the women were delicate, and there were girls sitting on one side and men on the other.
The eldest prince didn't know what to say to Xia Fei, so he whispered in his ear.
And that famous son of the south actually looked left and right, and when he met Xia Li's eyes, he stopped moving.
This person is really super annoying, Xia Li said secretly, she was a little disgusted with Nan Mingyi's eyes.
She suddenly didn't want to eat and wanted to leave early, no one could swallow it in the face of such a look, she couldn't eat it anyway.
"Don't eat it in the early cold, let's go out the back door secretly," she said as she watched the little girl keep filling her mouth.
I don't know what happened at the beginning, so "Why, Miss, the food here is delicious!" It's no wonder that it was specially prepared for the eldest prince."
"Shut up" Xia Li looked left and right and wanted to sneak away, but the birthday banquet had just begun, and I saw people who kept pouring in and sat down, and I really didn't see anyone leaving.
At this time, she found that the second prince, Chu Ye, was sitting at the table on her left.
She thought this man had to go! I didn't expect to come to dinner, and with the temperament of the eldest prince, I'm afraid he wouldn't let him go so easily.
Xia Li was worried about this, so he listened to Xia Yue, who was sitting at the table of the eldest prince, said: "Brother Prince, can I invite my sister Xia Li to come to our table, I think she is quite boring to sit there by herself."
The eldest prince looked up, and then said indifferently, "As long as Yue'er is happy, whoever you invite can come."
"Thank you, the eldest prince," Xia Yue's heart blossomed.
Xia Li heard it very well here, this Xia Yue didn't know what trouble to find her, so she didn't want to sit with that famous son of the south.
Thinking of this: "Chu Han, you go and ask the second prince over there, it's good for me to sit with him."
