217: Prince's Family Dinner

Su Xinyi listened quietly on the side, playing the role of a guard properly.

No matter the fear of the prefect, the helpless explanation of the King of Xiang, or the angry rebuke of the King of Rong, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked calm, as if he was not affected by any of them.

Finally, Wang Shao and Wang Daoji from the Wang family came late. Wang Shao was fourteen or fifteen years old, with the publicity and willfulness of a young man, and his hatred for his uncle was not concealed between his eyebrows.

Compared with Wang Shao, Wang Daoji did not look like a man in his early twenties. The vicissitudes on his face could not be wiped away. His eyes were as calm as a dry well, and he looked at his nephew like a stranger.

Su Xinyi was very familiar with that look, because she had such a look until the end of her life. She didn't care about anything, she didn't care about anything, she just wanted to do what she wanted to do, such as taking the Princess of Pingjing County to die together.

At that time, death was not terrible, it was just a relief for her.

Now she saw her own shadow in Wang Daoji.

With a dead heart and no attachment to the world, she was certain that the death of Wang Daoxin and Wang Daoli was most likely related to him.

The sky suddenly became gloomy, and Su Xinyi felt heavy.

Jie Jinglue also had a history of fighting with his clansmen, but the difference was that Jie Jinglue's eyes were filled with a strong fighting spirit and a tenacity that would never give up, while Wang Daoji's eyes were no longer bright, only the will to die.

Su Xinyi was slightly dazed, and suddenly a shadow fell in front of her eyes. She raised her head and met Yan Junchu's concerned eyes.

Su Xinyi immediately came to her senses. She was a little derelict in her duty, and immediately asked, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?"

Yan Junchu looked at Xinyi deeply, then shook his head, "I have to go to the trial, Yang Jin has also rushed back, you go to rest first, it's safe here, you don't have to worry."

"How can this be done? His Majesty's order is for me to protect Your Highness..."

"How about letting someone notify you if I leave the house?" Yan Junchu smiled, "You can better protect me after you have a good rest."

Su Xinyi didn't expect that the prince actually knew that she didn't sleep much last night. She looked up and saw Yang Jin standing at the door. After thinking about it, she nodded, "Okay, Your Highness must tell me if you want to go out."

"Okay." Yan Junchu nodded, "There are not many people living in the backyard of the house on Prince Rong's side, you can pick any one."

Su Xinyi nodded, watching Yan Junchu turn around and walk away, and the people in the yard followed him, and it was quiet for a while.

She was indeed a little tired. She turned and walked towards the backyard. A maid followed her immediately. Su Xinyi asked her a few questions about accommodation and chose a house closest to the courtyard where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was staying.

The maid was smart. Without asking a single question, she immediately asked someone to bring hot water for Su Xinyi to take a bath.

Su Xinyi took a bath happily. When she came out, there was already food on the table outside, and the aroma was fragrant.

She smiled. The maids in wealthy families are different. This job is good.

The taste here is a little sweeter, and she was satisfied with the food. After eating and drinking, she went to catch up on sleep.

She closed the tent and tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

I don’t know if it was because of seeing Wang Daoji’s eyes, she dreamed of the day after she buried her mother.

She stood alone under the eaves for a long time. At that time, she was emaciated, looking up at the sky, but without a single tear.

The pain was so extreme that the sadness became numb.

That look overlapped with Wang Daoji's, so similar.

She sat up suddenly, sweating all over, her pajamas sticking to her body, she panted slightly, her eyes still a little dazed.

She subconsciously touched her chest, then lay back down suddenly and closed her eyes.

The look Wang Shao gave Wang Daoji was the same look Shang Junyan gave him when he and Shang Junyan just came back.

How similar.

Su Xinyi knew that she was very happy in this life, loved by her family and harmonious with her siblings, but the scars hidden deep in her heart were still untouchable.

Those were marks cut on her flesh and blood one by one.

She got up and dressed, chose a green Hu costume, and pinned her hair with a wooden hairpin in front of the mirror. Her craftsmanship was really far worse than Lian Qiao's, but fortunately it was barely acceptable.

After opening the door, it was already dark outside. There was a lantern hanging under the eaves, emitting a yellow glow, which added some warmth to the night.

"Young Master is up."

Su Xinyi turned her head and looked at the maid who came over to greet her with a smile. She was the one who led the way for her before. She nodded to him.

"His Royal Highness Prince Rong told me to tell you that if you get up, you can go to the study."

Su Xinyi responded and walked along the corridor. The houses in Ding'an are different from those in the capital. The corridors in the capital are called Chaoshou Corridors. They are called this because the houses are built neatly and the corridors are like people holding their hands.

The houses in Ding'an are more exquisite and casual. The corridors are also built with the ups and downs of the house. There is no fixed direction or rules, which is quite interesting.

The maid led the way with a lantern in front. Su Xinyi followed slowly and passed through two moon gates to the study.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard of the study, I felt a bright light.

The maid brought the lantern to the gate and stopped moving. Su Xinyi stepped into the gate and saw Yang Jin standing outside the study. When he saw her coming, he immediately came over and said, "Sixth Miss."

"Master Yang." Su Xinyi forced a smile.

Yang Jin felt that the Sixth Miss seemed a little strange tonight, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness had someone ask before, and he knew that the girl was still resting, so he didn't disturb her."

Su Xinyi was a little embarrassed, "I slept a little deeply this time, did Your Highness have any instructions?"

"No, Your Highness is holding a family banquet tonight, and it's not time yet, Sixth Miss, don't worry."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, "Family banquet?"

She is still married, it's not good to attend the royal family banquet at this time, right?

Yang Jin immediately saw Miss Liu's hesitation, and immediately smiled and said: "Sixth Miss, please come in quickly, His Highness Prince Rong was clamoring for someone to wake you up before, but Your Highness suppressed it."

Su Xinyi was still a little hesitant, and just as she was hesitating, she heard the voice of Prince Rong, "Su Xinyi? Why are you here just now, come on, come on, give me some advice."

Su Xinyi raised her head and saw Prince Rong standing at the door, the light reflected on his face, and his anger was revealed without any cover.

Then she saw a green figure slowly walking out. Su Xinyi looked at the prince's clothes, then looked down at herself.

Bumped.

Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi's movements, his eyes were like stars. He walked over quickly and looked at her, "I'm going to have a family dinner tonight, so it's a good opportunity for you and my ninth brother to meet. We're all family, so there's no need to be so formal."
