Chapter 32
After about two quarters of an hour, the hall was finally full of people.

A voice suddenly sounded from the hall, "Which one is Yu Xia?"

Yu Xia raised her head and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a woman wearing a red dress and a purple hosta, with bright eyebrows and nobility in every move, appeared at the main seat at some point.

"See Princess Luoyang!" As soon as the woman appeared, all the female family members stood up to salute, and Yu Xia also stood up and followed the crowd.

"Get up." Princess Luoyang said lazily. She threw off her sleeves and leaned on the beauty couch behind her. She raised her glass and drank it down. "Which one is Yu Xia? Come out and let me see."

"Yu Xia has met Princess Luoyang." Yu Xia got up to go out, and blessed Princess Luoyang calmly.

"I remember you," the princess of Luoyang did not call out, "you are the first person since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, who has no royal blood and no meritorious service to the country, but has been named a township monarch. But it is true, is it Jiangnan Xie? For the descendants of your family, if you exchange a dowry for the position of the township lord, it is not a disgrace to the name of your ancestors."

"puff--!"

Many people pursed their lips and chuckled.

Everyone here is unaware of the origin of Yu Xia's position as township monarch. The Princess of Luoyang is mocking Yu Xia's position as a township monarch because of her unjustified name. She is laughing at Yu Xia's background as a merchant and her actions are based on profit. She is very petty. .

"I'm brave and want to argue with the princess." Yu Xia is a fourth-rank rural monarch given by the emperor. He calls himself "Chen", which is in line with the rules.

"You said."

"Although I don't have much talent, I still care about the country and the people. Nowadays, there are frequent border wars and there is little rain all year round in the northwest. I don't know how many people are worried about their livelihood. I handed over all the dowry to the national treasury, which solves the problem of people's livelihood. Urgent, the princess just said that I have done nothing for the country, but I think that for saving the people from fire and water, I still deserve the position of a rural king."

"It's a good one to save the people from fire and water, you are really sharp and sharp."

The Princess of Luoyang stood up, walked in front of Yu Xia, suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin!
"Look at this appearance. If you use a knife to draw a few lines on it, I don't know if it will be disfigured. Oh, I forgot. I'm afraid it won't bleed if I cut it with the knife."

"If the princess is curious, just give it a try." With her chin pinched, Yu Xia's voice remained the same, "I also want to know how thick my skin is."

The princess of Luoyang wanted to see Yu Xia crying and begging for mercy, but Yu Xia didn't follow her wishes. She immediately felt bored and threw Yu Xia aside fiercely, "Touch you? I was afraid of dirtying myself." hands!"

"Cough cough!" Yu Xia fell to the ground, rubbing her neck with her hands and couldn't help coughing a few times. The princess of Luoyang had just slapped her hard, and several red finger marks appeared on both sides of Yu Xia's cheeks.

"Come here, Xiangjun has behaved badly in public, why don't you go and help Xiangjun change his clothes!" Princess Luoyang raised her eyebrows proudly, "I forgot, this is Xiangjun's first time at this flower viewing feast. I’m afraid I don’t understand the rules here, so I’m only wearing this one... But it doesn’t matter, I have plenty of clothes, I’ll reward you with them!”

This flower viewing banquet is divided into three stages. In the first stage, everyone sits in the banquet hall, and the servants of each family put out the bouquets carefully cultivated by the noble ladies, and then the royal family headed by Luoyang princess will comment on the top three. Famous, rewarded with rich rewards.

The second stage is for everyone to visit the garden by themselves, which is also the highlight of this flower feast, providing an opportunity for each family to meet and communicate.The reason why Luoyang Princess is so powerful, apart from her background, is because she is the initiator of this flower viewing banquet, and has connections and status that ordinary noble girls do not have.

As for the third stage, it is estimated that only Luoyang Princess likes it, because every time at this time, she will let people display her favorite flowers, and it is also a time when everyone racks their brains to come up with words of praise to please her.At this time, the princess of Luoyang was truly "worshiped" by everyone.

However, Yu Xia naturally missed this first stage.

Since the Princess of Luoyang said she was "disrespectful", an aunt in the Princess' Mansion personally took her to change clothes.

Along the way, the aunt looked at her with appraising eyes, half-smiling but not smiling, full of contempt and arrogance.

"The servant has been serving the princess's mansion for many years, and today is an eye-opener. I am afraid that the girl is the first in this capital to be so disrespectful in public."

"Since I have been serving for many years, I should know what is respect and order. If the people in the princess's mansion are as ignorant as you are, then the princess's mansion will really open my eyes."

"you!"

"What are you? Since you call yourself a slave and you call me Xiangjun, you should know that no matter how poor I am, there is no reason for you to be a slave on my head!"

"Xiangjun is so eloquent!"

"The Princess Luoyang is the best way, otherwise I won't be able to teach a servant like you who has no rules!"

The aunt tightly clenched her fists, looking at Yu Xia as if she was killing her father and enemy, but because of her status, she didn't dare to act recklessly, so she could only lower her head and walk forward quickly.

As they walked, the two of them deviated from the winding corridor and came to a secluded courtyard. Although the courtyard was well-built and cleaned, it gave off an inexplicable sense of desolation.

Yu Xia felt that something was wrong before, but the aunt looked thin and small, but she was extremely strong. One hand was tightly restraining Yu Xia, making her unable to move.

"Where is this?" Yu Xia frowned, "Just now you said you would be there soon, but you were lying to me?"

"Go in!" The aunt suddenly stepped forward and pushed hard!Yu Xia staggered a few steps, and managed to stand still, but the courtyard door closed behind her.

"Mr. Xiang," said the aunt's voice with a trace of complacency, "Since you don't look down on the slave, then you can stay inside. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that the people living here are our Taipings. The eldest son of the palace doesn't like to be disturbed the most, the last bitch who broke into here has now turned into a pile of loess! Alas, what does the slave say to the Xiangjun, the Xiangjun should do it himself!"

The courtyard does not look big from the outside, but it is actually divided into three sections: front, middle and back. Yu Xia is currently in the front row house. It is quiet everywhere and there is no movement at all.

"Is there anyone there?" Yu Xia tentatively opened the door.

The opening of the door startled her.

She saw a vicious dog about the height of an adult man, staring at her eagerly.The vicious dog opened its mouth wide, and strings of drool fell on the ground, which made Yu Xia tremble with fear.

Sure enough, a dog that bites does not bark!
If she had just opened the door and walked in, she might have become the meal of that vicious dog right now!

But even if she was so careful, now she was face to face with the vicious dog, especially the vicious dog was ready to charge up at any time, which made her feel even more frightened!
what to do?Who would have thought that there would be vicious dogs guarding this yard?No wonder there are no servants here!
Just when Yu Xia was in a dilemma, a cold male voice sounded, "Xiao Ba, come back!"

"Ouch~" The vicious dog suddenly whimpered, bared its teeth at Yu Xia, turned around and ran over wagging its tail.

"Huh—" Yu Xia held his beating heart and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you?" A man is wearing an indigo robe, with a crown on his head, and his temperament is as clear as a distant mountain. It not only gives people a feeling that they cannot be looked at directly, but also makes people want to take a peek at their true appearance. .

When the man's face completely appeared in front of Yu Xia, she held back her tears and finally showed her first sincere smile in this world, "I found you, Gu Changsheng."

The man was a little taken aback, "How does the girl know my words?"

"I guess I just blurted it out because I felt something in my heart." Yu Xia smiled and blessed him, "Yu Xia didn't mean to disturb the young master's peace, and I hope that the young master will be considerate."

"Yu Xia..." the man repeated, "Today is the flower feast. You are a guest from Luoyang? Since your surname is Yu, you must be the Lord of An Ning whom His Majesty appointed personally."

"It's not a guest..." Thinking of Princess Luoyang, Yu Xia snorted coldly, "The enemy is pretty much the same. However, the young master dared to call the princess's title directly. Could it be that you are the eldest son that aunt mentioned earlier?"

"The girl is a person of temperament." The man smiled slightly, and looked at Yu Xia with warmth in his eyes, "As for aunt, who is it?"

"Young master hasn't answered me yet, are you the prince?"

The man nodded slightly, "Not bad."

Yu Xia crossed her hips, "It turns out that you and Princess Luoyang are in the same group, and that aunt tricked me to come here. Is the son trying to pretend to be confused?"

"Miss, calm down," Prince Taiping suddenly felt a little guilty when he was stared at by her, "Although I am Luoyang's elder brother, we are not from the same mother, so our relationship is not harmonious."

"That's how it is." Yu Xia understood clearly, "Your Majesty, do you mind if I go around?"

"Please."

Yu Xia walked half a circle around the yard, sat down at the low table, and hammered her leg with her hands. The vicious dog just now really scared her, and she still has lingering fears, only her legs are weak.

Although she was expressionless, Crown Prince Taiping somehow felt that she was angry now, so he tilted his head and said, "Awei, pour tea for Xiang Jun."

According to his order, Yu Xia discovered that there was a guard with a sword standing in the courtyard. Seeing him coming and going silently, he must be a martial arts master.But yes, after all, he is the son of Taiping, how can he have no one to protect him.

Prince Taiping approached suddenly and sat down next to Yu Xia, "But were you scared by Xiao Ba?"

He asked in such a pleasant manner, it reminded Yu Xia of the scene when Gu Qing coaxed her in the first life, her eyes were red, and she turned her head to wipe away her tears.

"Don't cry," Prince Taiping took out the handkerchief and handed it over, "Don't cry! Little Ba just looks a little cruel, but in fact he has a gentle temper. Let me take you to meet him, okay?"

Although this was the first time the two of them met, Yu Xia always gave Prince Taiping a very familiar feeling, as if they had been together in the last life, and he couldn't bear to see Yu Xia crying.

"I... my legs are weak..."

"……Ha ha ha ha!"

"You're still laughing! If it wasn't for looking for you, how could I come to the flower viewing banquet? If I don't come to the flower viewing banquet, I won't be scared by Xiaoba..."

"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me, don't cry, this is the new dessert made by the back chef, try it."
