Five days later, the grand imperial concubine's birthday banquet.
Yuwen Xi handed a piece of paper to Yuwen Qiang, expressing her determination to go to the birthday feast. She also guaranteed that she would not cause any trouble and would not embarrass the Yuwen Clan by following behind her elder sisters and brothers, and begged Yuwen Jin to give her a chance to go out and experience things. She no longer had any chance to get married, and did not want to die in this room for her entire life.
Yuwen Qiang's words were rather sour. He vaguely felt that there was something fishy about that incident back then. It was just that he was too angry back then and didn't care about it. Now it seemed that there was really something behind it.
How could he possibly do something that would seduce a servant so easily? When Mu Liuyu came that day, he had felt that something was amiss, how could he even know that someone was here so early in the morning, he was the one who miscalculated, and at that time, there were so many people present, he did not even think about it as he picked up his teacup and threw it at Yuwen Xi. Immediately, a bloody hole was smashed open by him, and he had thought of smashing it to death at that time.
At this moment, he looked at Yuwen Xi with a heart full of guilt. He thought about Yuwen Xi's mother, whom he had also liked a lot back then, but after a while, Yuwen Xi's mother became very cold, and no matter how much he tried to get close to her, it would be useless. In the end, he calmed down and left.
Thinking about it now, he felt that he already owed Yuwen Xi a lot, and was no longer able to return this debt to his mother.
You must remember what you have said. You must not be reckless, you must not be willful, you must follow carefully, and you must not be stiff. You must have the appearance of a lady from a noble family, and you absolutely must not do anything that would embarrass the Yuwen family. Yuwen Qiang reminded him repeatedly with a worried expression.
Yuwen Xi nodded again and again, her heart was filled with joy. She seemed to have already grasped the way to get along with Yuwen Jing, and in the past, the real Yuwen Xi would not get along with Yuwen Jing. Yuwen Jin should be a little old-fashioned and should have a good face, but he would still treat his children well, especially when he found a direction to get along with his hair.
"Get dressed up, you can't be too shabby, do you understand?" He looked at Yuwen Xi and said. After looking for a while, he realised that Yuwen Xi seemed to be different from before.
The Yuwen Xi in his memories had always kept her head down, she was thin and weak, looked like a bitter melon, with sallow yellow skin and black hair, her hair was also relatively dry, and her clothes were not even comparable to a servant girl's.
Yuwen Xi stood tall and straight, not with a hunched back, her skin color seemed to have become a lot whiter, the luster of her hair also seemed to have increased, especially her eyes, which now had light, no longer looked dead and gloomy, it was truly weird, why did they change so much? Only now did he realize that she had not paid attention to her daughter for a long time.
Thinking about this, he felt guilty again. When he was young he often went out to war, so he didn't care about the matters in the house. He only came back to stay for a while, so he naturally felt guilty again.
Yuwen Xi noted the change in Yuwen Qiang's emotions, and praised her in her heart. Seems like she had successfully attracted his attention, as long as she performed well, she would be able to live a good life.
"Xi Er, what difficulties do you have to talk to Daddy? Look at your skinny body, you're too skinny." After all, her time was too short. She was already very satisfied with having such a change in her body, and believed that as long as she continued to persevere, she would definitely be able to achieve the desired effect.
She continued to write down her difficulties on the paper, not letting go of any of them, she had to satisfy all three of them, even if she did not need them, Yin Lian would need them.
"What?" Do you mean that you can only eat radish, pickled vegetables and tofu? Sometimes it's still bad? " Yuwen Jian was so angry that his face turned red. He did not know about this at all.
Yuwen Xi nodded obediently. She appeared to be wronged, but she did not cry.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again. Daddy will give the orders."
"Thank you daddy, daddy, you are so nice, it was Xi Er who was not sensible before, it was Xi Er who was wrong, in the future, Xi Er will definitely be fine, she will not cause Daddy any trouble, and will not lose face for our family." It's always right to be good.
Hearing her words, Yuwen Jin was naturally happy, he told Yuwen Xi to go down and clean himself up first.
Not long after, clothes and food were brought over, and there were a lot of supplements as well. Yuwen Xi immediately told Yin Lian to cook them for her, these were all sacred products for the treatment of women, if not eating now, how long would it take?
No matter how she dressed up, she was unable to look good. She could only put on a light makeup and look like a girl next door, it was still alright like this, it would not embarrass the Yuwen family, it would be natural for her to be fresh and charming inside.
"Wow, miss, you look so good today." Yin Lian sincerely praised Yuwen Xi.
She carefully observed Yuwen Xi's appearance. In fact, it was not bad, especially his facial features, they were especially good, but her overall appearance was really bad, her complexion was too bad, and it would probably take a few months or even a year to truly treat him. Yuwen Xi did not have any good looks at all.
She didn't bring Yin Lian out, and left him at home. It would be more convenient for her to go out by herself.
Before they got onto the carriage, Yuwen Chang saw her, and was startled. He stared at her and then looked at the Yuwen Jin, and felt that it was too unbelievable, why would Yuwen Xi appear? Don't tell her that Yuwen Xi was also going to attend the banquet?
Yuwen Xi could not be bothered with her and went straight to the carriage. She and Yuwen Chang were in the same carriage, and it was not that Yuwen Chang was unwilling to go in the same carriage, but she was afraid. She was afraid that Yuwen Xi would beat her up in the carriage, and she had suffered enough pain and suffering.
"What are you still standing there for? Don't delay the time. " Yuwen Jin was becoming more and more unsatisfied with Yuwen Chang's performance.
Yuwen Zhi looked at Yuwen Chang, telling her to quickly get on the carriage, at that time it would delay everyone's progress, so her father would definitely not be happy.
There was no choice but to unwillingly get on the carriage. After getting on the carriage, Yuwen Chang hid far away from Yuwen Xi, as if she was avoiding a plague.
She looked at Yuwen Xi very carefully, afraid that Yuwen Xi would rush over and hit her, and was ready to escape at any moment. Yuwen Xi winked at her and smiled mischievously, which made him even more confused.
Suddenly, Yuwen Xi moved. Yuwen Chang trembled in fear and screamed, the horse carriage immediately stopped. The driver asked worriedly, "Fourth Miss, Fifth Miss, what happened? What happened? "
"No, it's fine. Continue, continue walking." Yuwen Chang's back was covered in cold sweat.
Just now, Yuwen Xi had only slightly moved to tidy up her clothes, but in the end, she had scared Yuwen Chang half to death. Yuwen Chang was like a frightened bird, causing Yuwen Xi to feel very happy, it seemed that she would not be bored during this journey.
No matter how many times he tried, Yuwen Chang was always scared of him. Yuwen Chang was always hit by Yuwen Xi and it would be weird if she was not afraid.
"Yuwen Xi, don't go too far. Isn't it fun to scare me?" Yuwen Chang could no longer endure anymore. Her clothes were drenched in cold sweat, showing just how nervous she was.
"You're hopeless." Yuwen Xi silently spat out these three words.
Yuwen Chang frowned, "What did you say?"
Yuwen Xi did not plan to repeat it to her, she only shrugged. Yuwen Chang was truly angered, she recalled what she had said, and actually said that she was useless.
Along the way, the two of them stared at each other. Yuwen Xi would scare Yuwen Chang from time to time, and when the carriage finally stopped and they reached the imperial palace, Yuwen Chang ran off the carriage as if she was being chased by dozens of wolves.
Looking at Yuwen Chang's useless appearance, Yuwen Xi couldn't help but laugh. It was really fun, but thanks to Yuwen Chang, he didn't feel bored anymore.
The imperial palace was much more majestic and bustling than she had imagined. This was the true set of gold and silver. It was no wonder that so many people wanted to enter this luxurious cage. Just looking at it would be pleasing to the eyes.
Yuwen Xi followed at the back obediently, she was young and well organized, so she could only line up at the back, and if the two little ones didn't come, she could be considered the smallest.
They were not the earliest nor the last. In between, there were still many people who came. They were most likely the distinguished individuals.
This was a real banquet. One couldn't see the end of it at a glance. The tables were arranged in an exquisite manner. They didn't make people feel crowded, and they also made the most of the space.
"Yuwen Xi, in a while, let's eat something nice. Don't do anything that would embarrass us." Yuwen Chang warned Yuwen Xi.
She saw that Yuwen Xi was getting angry from ignoring her, and warned again: "Don't take it to heart, this is big brother and big sister's orders. If you make a mistake, don't think about using your General Mansion again for the rest of your life."
She felt that if Yuwen Chang did not give her any trouble, she would definitely be alright. She had to pay attention to Yuwen Chang, and not let the friendly relationship between him and Yuwen Jin break down.
This brainless woman was not someone that would be taken advantage of easily. As long as it was someone that could deal with her, Yuwen Chang would use it all on her.
They had already arranged everything beforehand, the entire family already took up half of the table, while the other half had not come yet, I wonder which family they would be, Yuwen Chang looked a little expectant, she did not have any thoughts, she only wanted to stroll around to see if she could bump into Baili Yeming.
But I don't know if he will. Someone who likes to play the big hand like him probably won't come.
"General Yuwen, it's so good to see you." One of them came over to greet Yuwen Qiang. Yuwen Xi immediately recognized it was Third Prince Baili Shishang.
Baili Shishang's appearance caused Yuwen Chang to be completely excited, her eyes shone, as though a frog had seen a mosquito, and wanted to stick its tongue directly onto Baili Shishang's face.
It was probably because her gaze was too hot, that it was difficult for Baili Shishang not to notice it. He turned to look at Yuwen Chang, "Fourth Miss is here, I wonder if these dishes will suit your appetite, please eat more."
"It suits your appetite. Greetings, Third Prince." Yuwen Chang stood up and bowed once again. She had already done this before, and Baili Shishang also said that there was no need to be so courteous.
This was what Yuwen Xi was thinking at the moment. She already couldn't stand Yuwen Chang anymore, after analyzing her inner world, she thought: Third Prince, come, hug me tightly.
As she thought about it, Yuwen Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing everyone's gaze to immediately fall on her body.
