He immediately responded, "The empty seat is for the Eldest Imperial Princess . This Prince's maidservant is just that: a maidservant . Though the Eldest Imperial Princess of Nanzhao is feeling unwell today and unable to join us, this Prince's maidservant still can’t take that seat . "
Yun Ruofeng’s expression relaxed after hearing Pei Qianhao’s words . If Su Xi-er were to sit in the seat assigned to the Eldest Imperial Princess of Nanzhao, they wouldn’t be able to justify it no matter what they did .
However, his relief only lasted until Pei Qianhao’s next words .
"Move the seat to the side of this Prince . As long as it's not in that specific spot, it is not a seat that is specifically for the Eldest Imperial Princess . " His gaze swept across each and every guest, pausing temporarily on Chu Linglong and Hua Zirong .
Hua Zirong looked disinterestedly as Su Xi-er; this decision was up to the host nation, and had nothing to do with him .
However, Yun Ruofeng was not in agreement with Pei Qianhao's words . "Prince Hao had just remarked about the rules in Nanzhao’s palace . In that case, a maidservant should follow the rules and remain behind her master . " He paused before looking at Su Xi-er . “Isn’t that right?”
Since Yun Ruofeng posed the question to Su Xi-er, the latter would have to answer . However, he never expected that Su Xi-er would refute him .
"No . " Su Xi-er simple reply caused Chu Linglong to lose his composure, a chuckle escaping from his lips as he made an offhand remark that things were interesting .
Yun Ruofeng maintained his gentle countenance, but the corners of his lips were no longer raised, a crack in his otherwise perfect facade .
Ning Lianchen was standing closest to Yun Ruofeng . To go against Yun Ruofeng multiple times, he could tell that Su Xi-er was no ordinary woman . Under usual circumstances, there were no women who could escape from Yun Ruofeng's gentle smiling visage .
Yet, Su Xi-er wasn't charmed at all . Ning Lianchen felt extremely pleased and waved his hand . "Servants, move the seat to Prince Hao's side . "
Eunuch Fu took a look at Prince Yun . He only dared to move the seat upon seeing Prince Yun nodding his head .
Soon, the seat was moved to Prince Hao's side . Eunuch Fu made an inviting gesture at Su Xi-er . "Miss, please take your seat . "
Su Xi-er nodded and sat down .
The awkward situation immediately returned to normal, with several beautiful entertainers dressed in various colourful robes dancing to the tune of the music .
Having seen the Jinghong dance yesterday though, many had lost interest in watching the current dance . Moreover, none of the women was as good looking as Su Xi-er .
Hence, an even more awkward situation arose just as the first had faded away . Everyone's line of sight would drift to Su Xi-er, intentionally or unintentionally, disinterested in the dance on the floating platform .
Pei Qianhao swiftly noticed and was extremely displeased . What is this, everyone is just staring at my maidservant! But no matter how unhappy he was, he could only express his frustration by sending cold glares at Su Xi-er .
Realising that he was in a bad mood, Su Xi-er turned and smiled . "Prince Hao, take a look at the floating platform . It's so unique . Beimin doesn't seem to have this . "
His expression improved a bit when he heard her words, then turning his gaze towards the platform in the water before speaking . "Indeed, Beimin doesn't have this . Which craftsman in Nanzhao thought of this?" He asked and looked at Yun Ruofeng .
Yun Ruofeng returned a slight smile, "Unfortunately, the craftsman has passed away . He was also unwilling to reveal his name when he was still alive . "
Su Xi-er kept her mouth closed . The craftsman who designed the floating platform was indeed dead . That year, she had repeatedly invited him several times before he was willing to leave the mountains .
"To think that Nanzhao was able to invite such hidden talent out of the mountains . " Pei Qianhao replied nonchalantly, his face void of expression . He then turned and looked at Su Xi-er .
Why do I keep getting the feeling that her head is in the clouds?
