Wealth and glory seek stability

"Xuanyuan Chaocheng, I want to see what ridiculous things you want to do here? Let me go now."

Lin Yun did not give any face to Lady Korea at all and spoke sarcastically to Xuanyuan Chaocheng.

Lady Korea has always been a good person. Even Emperor Xuanyuan in the palace has to give her some face. She didn't expect to be humiliated by a junior today. Her face looked a little ugly.

Xuanyuan Chaocheng ignored all this and grabbed Lan An by the collar, wanting to teach him a lesson.

But even if Lan An's talent is not as good as Shen Nanxing's, he is still no match for Xuanyuan Chaocheng, who has never practiced martial arts since childhood. He has to avoid her just to save the prince's face.

Xuanyuan Qiyuan saw that the matter had become serious, so he stood up and walked to the wife of the Duke of Korea, "Madam, I am really presumptuous today. When I go back, I will tell my father and ask the Crown Prince to come to the mansion to apologize."

"Your Highness Prince Jin, there is no need to do this. This is not your fault."

Lady Korea hosted this banquet at the request of Emperor Xuanyuan. Not only did Xuanyuan Chaocheng not know how to be grateful, but he also caused such a big mess. He is such a fool.

Lan An had been holding back a lot of anger, but he didn't take action because of Xuanyuan Chaocheng's status. He couldn't help but yell, "Prince, don't go too far. You are not my opponent. If it weren't for His Majesty's face, you would never have the chance to chase me."

Lan An's words were like firecrackers, and Xuanyuan Chaocheng was instantly enraged.

He picked up a potted plant and threw it towards Lan An. Lan An was agile and dodged it naturally. Unfortunately, Shen Nanxing was behind him. Shen Nanxing was not paying attention and was hit on the arm.

"Oh! Your Highness, you attacked me for no reason and hurt innocent people. Now I want to see how you will explain this to His Majesty."

Shen Nanxing covered his arm, speechless. He was really impressed by these shameless people. If Lan An had not insisted on leading the prince here, he would not have been hurt. He and Baili Yanhua were sitting together. Even if he could avoid the flowerpot, he would never be able to avoid Baili Yanhua behind him.

Jian Xi was shocked when she saw the chaos here. How could the prince be so rude? Shen Nanxing was an official appointed by the court after all. Whether he did it intentionally or unintentionally, it was not right after all.

Seeing that Jian Xi wanted to get up and join in, Dongfang Wenying quickly grabbed Jian Xi's clothes and said, "Sister, don't go over there. It's already a mess over there. I believe General Shen can handle this matter. And looking at the situation over there, Miss Lin's reputation is probably ruined. Why bother getting involved with you?"

Jian Xi thought it made sense. Going there wouldn't solve the problem, so she sat down again. "Thank you for your advice, sister. I was so anxious just now that I almost lost my composure."

Dongfang Wenying pursed her lips and smiled, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jian Xi, "Nothing, look at Miss Lan over there, she is calm and composed, this matter was caused by her and Miss Lin, you will just be dragged down by others for nothing if you go there."

Seeing Dongfang Wenying's clear understanding of the world, Jian Xi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you say that, sister?"

"Have you ever met Lin Yun before?"

"We had a chance encounter."

"Have you ever seen the gentlemen who performed today?"

"Never." Jian Xi continued to shake her head.

Dongfang Wenying smiled knowingly, "I see."

"What's the reason?"

"Among those notes just now, two were addressed to you. I guess one of them was written by the girl's brother. He has never attended this kind of banquet, so it's normal that he doesn't know the rules. The remaining one should be written by Miss Lin Yun with your name. Apart from Lin Yun, this is the first time for Miss Wei to attend this banquet, so she probably doesn't know your name. She and Miss Lan are close friends. I heard that both Mr. Lan and Mr. Cao have publicly praised Miss Lin for being the best in the capital and having unparalleled talents." After Dongfang Wenying's analysis, Jian Xi understood.

"But Lin Yun and I really just met once by chance." Jian Xi was puzzled.

All I know is that when they met last time, Lin Yun was still thinking about Shen Nanxing.

Could it be?

Is it because of her that she thinks Shen Nanxing doesn't like her?

*

It doesn't seem impossible.

Apart from this, she really couldn't think of any other reason.

Xuanyuan Chaocheng already felt that his behavior was out of line, so he bowed to Shen Nanxing and saluted, "General Shen, I am sorry for offending you today."

Shen Nanxing said calmly: "It's okay."

Lan An looked at Lin Yun following Xuanyuan Chaocheng with an annoyed look on his face, but he had to restrain his edge after receiving the warning sent by his sister through the servants.

Lin Yun looked at Shen Nanxing with a complicated expression, feeling so much affection in his heart that he didn't know how to express it.

Baili Yanhua was thinking about Lin Yun, "Sister Yun, I haven't seen you for a while, are you okay?"

Lin Yun smiled and replied, "I'm fine, thank you for remembering me."

Baili Yanhua's eyes were filled with a thousand kinds of tenderness, as if a silver bottle suddenly leaked out. Shen Nanxing glanced at his friend, afraid that he still didn't understand the situation. Lin Yun was not someone he could mess with now. He quickly pulled Baili Yanhua's sleeve and interrupted what he wanted to say, "Your Highness, the auction is not over yet. Please take a seat. Madam, I'm really sorry to disturb your banquet."

Seeing that someone still remembered her, Lady Korea sighed. She knew very well that this had nothing to do with Shen Nanxing. She waved to Qian Liang on the stage and said, "Sir Qian, please continue." Well, she was no longer interested in holding this Hanmei Banquet. It would be best if it ended early. She didn't want to see this group of annoying people anymore.

Everyone returned to their seats.

This farce is over.

Lin Yun wanted to show off her financial strength, and finally bought her own handkerchief for 80,000 taels of silver.

But everyone present just thought she was like a clown on the stage trying to interrupt, which was ridiculous.

Lin Yun never thought that she would spend her own money and end up being ridiculed.

Jian Xi sighed, it's really a loss of both the wife and the army, this is not the modern era, you can get respect with money, there are still classes, power, resources, circles in between...

Each class has its own rules of operation. These rules are customary and no one can break them. They are related by marriage and their relationships are complicated. They cannot be shaken by simple interests.

Just like Dongfang Wenying, I guess he chose to make friends with her after examining her character and her value for friendship.

If you want to deepen your friendship or exchange deeper interests in the future, it will take time to accumulate.

But she had plenty of time to wait.

After the auction, Lady Korea announced the end of the Winter Plum Blossom Banquet, and gave each participant a box of gifts. The gifts were made from the plum blossoms that everyone had admired, and they were very elegant.

Jian Xi and Dongfang Wenying agreed to come over to her house to chat sometimes.

The official doctor of the Korean Mansion checked Shen Nanxing's arm and found that it was not dislocated or fractured, just a simple bruise.

It was also because Shen Nanxing had a good physique that he took precautions when the flowerpot arrived. If it were someone else, that big flowerpot would probably have caused serious damage.

When the banquet was over, Jian Xi asked Mother Xing to pass a message to Shen Nanxing, asking him to invite Baili Yanhua to visit the general's residence.

Baili Yanhua didn't think much about it and agreed happily.
