"You!" Hu Xiuling glared at him and thought about how she hated him the last time they met, even though he had yet to take revenge.
"Bai Zhiling, don't think that I will let you off just because you say that."
"Miss Hu, who are you going to let go of?"
Seeing that they were lacking in strength, Mu Yinyin pulled on Bai Zhiling's sleeves. Let's go. "
After all, this was Hee Qiqi's home. If she made a ruckus, she would lose her face. Bai Zhiling was too lazy to bother with her, so she turned to leave.
How could Hu Xiuling let go of such a good opportunity? She thought that as long as she brought the person to a place where no one could see, she might cause trouble. At worst, she could just bite the bullet and not admit it.
"Miss Bai, where are you planning to go? I heard that you opened a clinic in the capital and even became a doctor. Tsk tsk, you've completely lost face for Duke Jingxi Manor!" "Every day, treat a lot of men. I don't know if it's because of that man that you have to do such substandard things!"
Hu Xiuling's words could be said to be vicious. She was mocking Bai Zhiling for not having a man.
There was no one else but her to speak of the noble matter of practising medicine.
Even though Mu Yinyin was listening at the side and trembling in anger, she maintained a calm smile on her face as she looked at Bai Zhiling.
"So when Miss Hu became ill, she asked the doctor to treat you because you wanted to … did you … have a male … did you really do it?"
"You, what a sharp mouth! You actually dare to humiliate me, I still don't know how capable you are! "
Hu Xiuling was so angry that she rushed forward to tear Bai Zhiling apart. However, she was stopped by a young lady wearing a peach dress.
"Xiu Ling, don't be angry. I heard that Prince Jing Ling will be here today. Furthermore, this banquet has been going on for such a long time that there will be a time to clean her up sooner or later.
As expected, when Hu Xiuling heard the word "Prince Jing Ling", she stopped.
Ever since she saw Baili Moxun last time, she had always been harboring thoughts in her heart. She even told the people around her that Baili Moxun was someone she liked and no one was allowed to have any more ideas.
"I'm not going to talk to you for now, you'd better be careful!"
"Bai Zhiling smiled indifferently, but her words were sonorous and forceful." "Anytime."
"Hmph, let's go."
The group of ladies followed her and left.
"This Hu Xiuling is really hard to deal with. You should be careful of her the next time you see her."
With the empress and the general's estate behind Hu Xiuling, it wasn't strange that Mu Yinyin would be worried.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
When Mu Yinyin saw that there wasn't the slightest bit of fear between her brows, she couldn't help but like him a little more.
"You guys are here, but it's so easy for me to find you."
Hee Qiqi came over after the two said that.
Looking at the faint fatigue on her face, Bai Zhiling knew that it wasn't an easy task to entertain the guest.
"How is it?" Hee Qiqi looked at Bai Zhiling. Bai Zhiling knew she was worried about him being bullied or not, so she smiled warmly from the bottom of her heart, "What can I do? Can it be that Yinyin will eat me up?"
She and Mu Yinyin tacitly did not mention anything about Hu Xiuling.
"Let's go to the front. The banquet is going to start soon. I can smell the scent of venison."
There were a total of 50 posts in the roast deer feast. When Hee Qiqi brought them there, there seemed to be no less than 100 people, including those from the male guest area.
The girls, who were joking, walked up to Hee Qiqi as soon as they saw him. Her gaze naturally fell on the two people beside her. Mu Yinyin had played with Hee Qiqi and the others since she was young, so she knew what was going on with Bai Zhiling.
Why didn't they know when Bai Zhiling had such a good relationship with Hee Qiqi?
A look of contempt flashed in the eyes of many people, but due to Hee Qiqi's presence, they didn't go overboard.
"Let's hurry over. The banquet is about to begin." When Hee Qiqi was surrounded by the ladies, Bai Zhiling had already retreated to the side. How could she not feel the rejection from these girls?
Hee Qiqi looked back at her helplessly and signaled her to follow him.
The three deer that Baili Yao had sent down were placed in the middle of the garden, roasting over the fire. As they approached, they could smell the aroma of roasted meat.
The male and female guest area was separated by three roasted deer, so the atmosphere of the Little Zhou Country was still considered open. Therefore, the female and male guest area was not blocked by a screen, and the young ladies could clearly see the situation of the male guest area from where they stood.
Hu Xiuling walked to the front, and her gaze involuntarily searched for Baili Moxun's figure in the male guest area.
Baili Moxun had a high status and was definitely a guest of honor. However, other than Baili Xing, the other seats were all empty.
"Qiqi, will your brother participate this year?" Mu Yinyin's voice wasn't loud, but Bai Zhiling still heard it.
Hee Qiqi's biological mother, County Princess, still had a son and a daughter. Hee Qiqi had a brother, Hee Yisheng, who was four years older than Hee Qiqi, who had been raised in front of the old county prince ever since he was a child and had been looking forward to military life ever since he grew up. He had joined the army three years ago, but had not been able to find a cure for his illness after he lost his leg in a battle with the Northern Tribes.
Ever since then, he had kept himself locked up in the courtyard, unwilling to go out to anyone.
Speaking of his brother, Hee Qiqi sighed. At the time, his brother was also a high-spirited teenager, but now …
"Big brother said it's too noisy, so he won't come out."
Even though she already knew the result, Mu Yinyin was still disappointed.
"Prince Jing Ling has arrived …"
Following the chant, everyone's eyes focused on the entrance to the garden.
Baili Moxun walked in, wearing a black wide sleeve and a jade belt with gold threads tied around her waist.
Even if the black robe was worn on his body, it was still indescribably dazzling. He only stood there, and the people around him instantly lost all color. Other than him, there was nothing else that could be seen.
Baili Moxun's identity was the highest among everyone present besides Baili Xing and Baili Xiao.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Sit." Baili Moxun sat down on a chair with an indifferent look in her eyes. No need to be so polite. "
Hu Xiuling had not taken her eyes off him the moment Baili Moxun had entered the room, and now, she couldn't even direct her gaze directly at him!
"When I first heard that Prince Jing Ling was a martial general, I thought he was very powerful. Who knew that his bearing was really worthy of the name 'peerless'."
Bai Zhiling glanced at him for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. This man seemed to be pleasing to the eyes, but she was well aware of his danger!
County Prince Lee was very satisfied with Baili Moxun's low profile. Seeing that important people had arrived, he stood up with a smile. Today is County Prince's annual roasted deer feast … "
Bai Zhiling sat quietly with her head lowered. She had the nagging feeling that several pairs of eyes were fixated on her.
