Chapter 7
Su Xiqu saw that Chu Xia was really fine, and then she remembered and said, "You wrongly blamed His Highness Prince Jing. He was helping you diagnose your pulse just now, and he did so with good intentions."
Chu Xia's eyes moved to Jing Yuan, and she saw that ethereal white figure standing in front of the window. The sunlight made his figure unreal.
"I'm sorry." Chu Xia said, "I wrongly blamed His Highness, please forgive me."
"It's okay." Jing Yuan said calmly.
Su Xiqu was shocked in her heart. People said that His Highness Prince Jing was moody and regarded the lives of people who had collided with him as nothing. If he was in a bad mood, he would see blood. She was ready to take the blame for Chu Xia if Prince Jing blamed him.
Unexpectedly, His Highness Prince Jing was not angry at all.
According to rumors, he hates people being disrespectful to him the most.
"Since you have nothing to do, just follow me to the courtyard. I think the banquet will be held soon."
Su Xiqu was surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face and smiled.
Chu Xia nodded, stood up, straightened her skirts, and the three of them left the room.
Er Hua, who had been waiting anxiously at the door, saw that Chu Xia was fine. He was so happy that he wanted to rush over, but was caught by Liang's mother and pinched her arm hard.
"You bitch, you accidentally bumped into a noble man!"
Naturally, the noble person Mama Liang was referring to was not Chu Xia, but His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who had the highest status present.
Er Hua was being pulled by Liang's mother, but Chu Wei came forward. Wearing a light pink and dark patterned floral skirt, she rushed over like a butterfly, took Chu Xia's hand, and asked anxiously:
"Is my sister okay? My sister is scared."
Chu Xia calmly shook off Chu Wei's hand and said calmly: "It's okay."
She could see clearly that Chu Wei was aiming at her, her eyes kept drifting towards Jing Yuan, and every movement seemed to be carefully calculated, showing the beautiful side of Chu Wei.
It is no secret in the general's palace that Chu Wei is very pleased with King Jingyuan.
Chu Xia saw through it but didn't say anything. Chu Wei wanted to pretend to be sisters, but she was too lazy to expose it. I hope she could keep pretending.
Chu Xia could see that Prince Jing Jingyuan looked misty and indifferent, but in fact, he was just a fox with many ghosts in his heart.
When he checked her pulse, she clearly felt a mellow spiritual power probing her veins. That spiritual power was obviously not what a "frail and sick prince" should have.
And he should have found out that her muscles and veins had recovered and her spiritual power had increased, but he didn't reveal it, fearing that he had some plans of his own.
Chu Xia narrowed her eyes slightly. If he threatened her with this, she would naturally not be able to sit still and wait for death!
"Reporting to all the gentlemen and ladies, the banquet is about to begin."
A maid came over, bowed politely, and said.
"Everyone please."
Su Xiqu smiled politely and led everyone to the banquet hall.
Chu Xia actually didn't want to attend such a banquet. When she was at her lowest point, everyone was ridiculing her and she had seen enough of the darkness in the world.
"Look, that's Chu Xia, a loser." A young lady wearing a pink gauze skirt said to the woman next to her.
"It's true, she is going to marry that romantic Prince Dingnan as a concubine soon." Everyone was talking, laughing at Chu Xia in their hearts.
Of course, these words reached everyone's ears. Chu Xia didn't take it seriously and pretended not to hear it. Moreover, he didn't bother to care about it.
Chu Wei also hated Chu Xia very much. If Prince Jing hadn't been here, she wouldn't have made friends with Chu Xia. When she heard everyone talking about the bad things about her first time, Chu Wei felt very proud and deliberately walked beside Prince Jing.
Unintentionally approached Prince Jing.
But Prince Jing's heart was elsewhere.
"Ah, my clothes." The lady who was gloating just now, her clothes were torn for some reason, shouted loudly, and lost face in front of everyone.
Then there was another sound: "Plop." Someone accidentally fell into the water.
Everyone was in confusion. Su Xiqu quickly ordered his servants to rescue the young lady who fell into the water.
Chu Xia was confused and felt that something was fishy. How could these two people...
Suddenly, she saw King Jing Jingyuan looking at him with strange eyes and raising the corners of his mouth. This made Chu Xia suspicious.
Is this Prince Jing him?
Su Xiqu was already a person who had experienced major events. He quickly handled the unexpected situation, and after appeasing everyone, the banquet began.
Since the incident happened, Chu Xia's heart has been on Prince Jing: This man has a problem, and it's a big problem.
"Prince Jing, this is the lotus bag I embroidered by myself. It can refresh the mind and is good for the body. I want to give it to you." Chu Wei shyly stood beside Prince Jing.
Prince Jing was very happy as the spring breeze blew across his face and accepted Chu Rong's gift.
Chu Wei was extremely excited, not at all like how she treated Chu Xia in the mansion.
This made Chu Xia, who was in another place and watching the process of what happened, feel disgusted. One was for herself and her bad relatives, and the other was the incomprehensible Prince Jing.
"Chu Xia, you were fine just now. Seeing you unconscious, I was almost worried about you." Su Xiqu still cared about Chu Xia very much, which shocked Chu Xia who was watching the show.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, don't worry." Chu Xia didn't want to tell too many people about it, nor did she want her friends to worry.
"Xiqu~"
"Chu Xia, I'll go over first and you wait here." Su Xiqu also has many young ladies to take care of, so it's impossible to stay with Chu Xia all the time.
"Okay." Fortunately, Chu Xia was accompanied by Er Hua, so she wasn't too lonely.
"Hey, isn't this the concubine of the future Prince Dingnan?" The graceful woman walked towards her. At first glance, she was a young lady from a noble family.
"This is the daughter of the Li family." Er Hua whispered to Chu Xia. "This is Miss Li Yiru." The Li family is very prestigious, and this young lady from the Li family is not simple, but Chu Xia will not be afraid of her.
"Hmph, do you, a lowly person like you, have the right to talk to me?" Chu Xia knew that these ladies were not good people, but she did not expect that this Miss Li family was so arrogant.
Li Yiru did it on purpose, shouting at Chu Xia in a loud voice. This made everyone look here, and most of them were waiting to see the show.
Prince Jing Jingyuan, who was leisurely and contented in the distance, was also attracted.
"Li Yiru, don't go too far." Chu Xia had a cold face and stared at Li Yiru with her dark eyes.
Seeing that Chu Xia was angry, Li Yiru snorted funny, stretched out her hand to pinch Chu Xia's face, raised her eyebrows and asked: "Does a lowly person like you deserve to be angry? You have no right!"
Li Yiru's hand moved slightly and pinched Chu Xia's fair face. After a while, Chu Xia's face turned red.
Chu Xia's frown deepened. She had no doubt that Li Yiru would even want to pinch her face to bits if possible.
Most of the time, she just tolerated it, but Li Yiru went too far and pinched her face with constant force. Chu Xia really didn't want to endure it, so she raised her hand and hit Li Yiru on the back of her hand.
Li Yiru quickly retracted her hand in pain. She lowered her head and looked at the back of her hand nervously. It was red, which made the back of her originally fair hand look ugly. She instantly became angry, raised her head sharply, and raised her arms.
I want to give Chu Xia a slap.
How could Chu Xia obediently let Li Yiru beat her?
Without blinking, she raised her hand and held Li Yiru's arm.
Li Yiru looked at Chu Xia with wide eyes and wanted to take her hand back, but Chu Xia's strength was so amazing that she couldn't take it back no matter what.
"Let me go! Are your dirty, thick hands worthy of holding my arm? Let me go!" Li Yiru yelled angrily.
"It's okay if you want me to let you go." Chu Xia looked at Li Yiru with still cold eyes. She said to Li Yiru in a calm tone: "As long as you apologize to me, then I will definitely let you go."
Chu Xia's eyes were full of disgust, and she didn't seem to want to hold Li Yiru's hand.
People like Li Yiru have already used force on her. Only in this way can Li Yiru be honest.
However, it would be okay if the conflict between the two of them happened in a place with few people or just two people, but there were not many people here, and there were many people watching the two of them arguing.
After all, Li Yiru is a distinguished young lady, and Chu Xia was not favored at all at home. Being coerced by Chu Xia in front of the hall, Li Yiru felt that she had no face at all, and it was impossible to treat Chu Chuxia
Apologize.
Li Yiru stared at Chu Xia, her words still so disdainful and arrogant, she said: "Only you? Are you worthy of letting me say I'm sorry to you? Stop dreaming!"
After Li Yiru glared at Chu Xia, she tried to free her hand from Chu Xia's, but Chu Xia was not a vegetarian. At this time, she was a little angry, and she looked at Li Yiru with burning eyes.
No matter what, he refused to let Li Yiru go.
"You cheap hooves, let go of my hand quickly! You are too bold to treat me so unreasonably!" No matter how Li Yiru tried to pull his hand out of Chu Xia's, he couldn't.
There was nothing she could do, which made Li Yiru's face turn red. She became a little angry and cursed Chu Xia regardless of her own image.
Chu Xia's eyes were deep and terrifying, and her eyes as dark as the night looked at her motionlessly, and she said in a deep voice: "I'll give you one last chance to apologize to me!"
Li Yiru was frightened by Chu Xia's slightly cold voice, but she only froze for a second, then stared at Chu Xia disdainfully, and said something even more outrageous than before, "Stop dreaming, I think you are itchy and need a beating."
I……"
Before Li Yiru finished speaking, Chu Xia's face became horribly dark. After a moment, Li Yiru was pushed out by Chu Xia's power.
Li Yiru had no room to fight back. He was pushed far away by Chu Xia and fell to the ground. He struggled several times to get up, but he couldn't get up. His whole body was very weak.
In the end, Li Yiru had no strength at all and gave up the struggle completely. He fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood from his mouth.
