CH 42.3

Feng Guiren thought about it for a moment, and then explained to the maidservant in a low voice. Then she got up with the maidservant and went straight to Ji Yunxi’s table.

Feng Guiren chuckled: “Madam Wu, long time no see.”

There is a distinction between who is on the top and who is on the bottom.

Ji Yunxi and Wu Wei’an stood up to greet her.

Ji Yunxi’s eyes remained unmoved: “Greeting to the noble concubine.”

Feng Guiren looked at Ji Yunxi. The other party saluted very well, and was upright, and could not point out the slightest mistake.

She should be happy to see Ji Yunxi saluting her.

But even if the other party bowed her body and was half a head shorter than her, Feng Guiren still felt unhappy in her heart.

Because there was no expression of being humiliated that could be seen on Ji Yunxi’s face and she is as indifferent as ever.

Feng Guiren hasn’t had a good time in the harem recently. The Emperor seldom flips her plate now. Instead, he likes to run to another beauty who entered the palace at the same time as her.

That beauty is even pregnant now!

Feng Guiren didn’t dare to let Ji Yunxi do the salute for too long, for fear that the beauty would make irresponsible remarks in front of the Emperor again.

She took a cup of wine from the maidservant, and then asked the maidservant to also give Ji Yunxi a cup.

As a result, before Ji Yunxi took it, the maidservant released her hand.

Wu Wei’an seemed to be frightened and could not help retreating a few steps.

The wine directly spilled all over Ji Yunxi. The wine splashed, but it didn’t splash too far. It just stopped a little distance away from Wu Wei’an’s toe.

Wu Wei’an’s shoes today are also new and made of excellent materials. They feel very comfortable.

Ji Yunxi didn’t dodge at all and she just watched the wine spill all over her body.

Because it was so cliche, she had foreseen what would happen when she heard that Fourth Feng asked her maidservant to deliver the wine.

She really can’t expect too much from Fourth Feng.

What if she was spilled all over? She has a lot of clothes.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunxi subconsciously glanced back.

Wu Wei’an looks back at her in horror.

There was also a bit of bewilderment in his eyes, but Ji Yunxi felt that he seemed to be thankful for something.

Ji Yunxi subconsciously looked at his new clothes and shoes.

“Oh my, Madam Wu, are you all right?” Feng Guiren looked surprised and lectured, “This slave, what’s wrong with you?! You can’t even hold a cup of wine!”

The Empress heard the commotion and came over.

The Empress naturally knows what happened to the Feng family and Ji family recently.

The Ji family is very important to her and the Crown Prince, so the Empress naturally wanted to protect Ji Yunxi.

Of the good deeds the Crown Prince has done over the years that the people praised, which one does not cost money?

Those money were sent to the Crown Prince by Ji Yunxi through Ji Mingxi.

Not to mention those miraculous medicines, which are the treasures of heaven and earth.

The Empress knew clearly in her heart that it was hard for her not to like Ji Yunxi.

She wanted the Crown Prince to marry Ji Yunxi as the Crown Princess.

But the Crown Prince is a stubborn one, saying that he has no love for Ji Yunxi, and he only treats her as his own sister.

Therefore, the Empress lost a daughter-in-law who was good at every aspect.

The Empress asked: “What’s the matter?”

Several people saluted her.

Before Ji Yunxi saluted, the Empress immediately said: “Forego the formalities.”

She looked at Feng Guiren and said solemnly: “Feng Guiren, what’s going on?”

Feng Guiren lowered her head and said: “Before this concubine entered the palace, this concubine had a very good relationship with Madam Wu, so this concubine wanted to have a drink with Madam Wu when this concubine saw her today, but this concubine never thought that the hand of this concubine’s maidservant was not steady and spilled it all over on Madam Wu.”

The Empress glanced at the maidservant and said: “You can’t even do this kind of small thing well. How do you usually serve your master? Someone, throw this maidservant into Xinzheku[1].”

Feng Guiren was taken aback for a moment: “Empress, this——”

[1] Xinzheku: a place for criminal slaves.
