Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 137

Chapter 137
The night banquet started, and the back garden of the Prince Yun residence was luminous in the otherwise dark night .





The previously blooming flowers silently stood half-open after the sun went down, like shy beauties illuminated by candlelight in the night, forming a picturesque scenery .

The surface of the nearby lake vaguely reflected the image of people holding a splendorous banquet . Although there were only two people, they were the n . o . ble Prince Regents of Nanzhao and Beimin .

Prince Hao sat in the main seat, while Yun Ruofeng sat at the side seat[1] . Yun Ruofeng's willingness to allow him to do so was already enough to show his 'respect' to Prince Hao .

Looking at the beautiful surrounding scenery, Pei Qianhao remarked softly, "Just a back garden from the Prince Yun Residence is already so beautiful and unique . Looks like it can compete with the Imperial Garden in the palace . "





What Pei Qianhao spoke with tongue in cheek; how could Yun Ruofeng not understand his meaning?

With a soft smile at the corner of his mouth, he calmly responded . "This Prince simply likes flowers and plants, so I told people to plant some more . "

Pei Qianhao stopped talking . Coming forward from her place at the side, Su Xi-er neatly set the bowl and chopsticks in front of Pei Qianhao . Each movement she made was careful and measured, requiring her full attention . Due to this however, she didn't realise that the other person at the table had already moved his gaze onto her .

With just two people at the large table, the atmosphere became extremely cold .

When Yun Ruofeng saw that most of the food had arrived on the table, a small smile emerged at the corner of his mouth . He looked at Su Xi-er and couldn't help but say, "Miss Xi-er, although you are Prince Hao's maidservant, you are also a guest of Nanzhao . Why don't you sit at the low seat and eat with us?"

Upon hearing Yun Ruofeng's suggestion, the other maidservants couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air and silently curse . Even a maidservant can eat with the n . o . blest men in the world . What kind of honour is this?

Anybody else would be ecstatic; this is a huge gift that should make anyone happy!

However, Su Xi-er's face remained indifferent; she continued to serve Prince Hao, unaffected by the dozens of gazes waiting for her answer .

Before Pei Qianhao could answer, she replied, "This servant is just a maid, unworthy of eating at the same table as Prince Yun and Prince Hao . "





After she finished serving Pei Qianhao, Su Xi-er slowly withdrew to stand behind him .

Everyone around looked at Su Xi-er with obvious jealousy, surprised that she gave up such a good opportunity . At the same time, they were happy that the woman didn't eat with the prince regents .

Pei Qianhao glanced at her and said in a cold tone . "A maidservant is indeed unworthy of eating at the same table . "

Yun Ruofeng laughed and didn't try to convince her anymore, instead waving his hand at the maidservant next to him .


The maidservant understood, and slowly walked to Pei Qianhao's side with a wine pot .

From his seat, Yun Ruofeng said, "This is not the wine from the imperial palace, and it's not the flower wine either . Instead, it's a delicious fruit wine . It has ginkgo, Chinese date, pomegranate, and a dozen fruits inside; the fruit wine tastes pure and leaves a great scent in your mouth, but it doesn't make you drunk . Prince Hao, you must taste it . "

While he was speaking, the maidservant had taken two steps forward and was ready to pour wine into the cup in front of Prince Hao .

Before the maidservant could pour the wine, Prince Hao waved his hand . "Let this prince's maidservant pour wine for me; I won't trouble others . "

1 . The main seat(aka upper seat) is usually for people with the highest status . People usually sat according to their positions during banquets, with the most powerful ones sitting closest to the host or the main seat .
