Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

Because of the existence of the Yaoguo Straight Road, the team's progress was much faster.

Although there are many mountains, rivers and plains in Yao Kingdom, and its products are not as good as those of Chen Kingdom, its geographical location is particularly advantageous. Of course, this is in Chen Xi's opinion.

After three days of travel, they finally set up camp today near a small town on the border of Yao Kingdom. Chen Xi, Yue Si, Grandpa Chen and others also went into the city to rest under the protection of Ling Xiao, Chen Zhan and others.

Ling Xiao is one of the eight commanders of Yao Kingdom, and Chen Zhan, Feng Han and others are attendants of Yao Kingdom's eldest prince Yao Jun. Naturally, the governor of the small city has to host a banquet to entertain them.

Although Chen Xi doesn't like this kind of occasion, she will definitely marry the man she loves in the future. Even if she doesn't like it, she has to adapt to this kind of occasion as soon as possible and learn all kinds of etiquette.

At the dinner, Chen Xi and Yue Si attended together in their best attire. Xiao Luo and Xiao Yi followed them in small steps. Four attendants followed closely behind to prevent anyone from disturbing them.

Although Chen Xi and Yao Jun have not yet been married, Yao Jun is still behind her. Even if he is the governor of a city, he has to invite her to take the main seat and dare not show any disrespect to her.

Chen Huaming also attended the banquet. Although he would not enter the power center of Yao Kingdom for the time being and could only assist Chen Xi, he also wanted to get to know this powerful and mysterious vassal state!

Yao State had already learned of the news from Chen State. After all, Yao Jun's actions were too big, and the wedding was also being prepared in secret. Even if the border town was not big, as the prefect, he must be more informed.

With the intentional flattery, both the hosts and the guests had a great time at the banquet, except for Chen Xi.

Even if she were a daughter of a powerful family in modern times, she would only attend banquets or dances when she was a child. She never attended any after she became an adult, nor did she receive any invitations because she became autistic and socially anxious.

Chen Xi was still not used to dealing with strangers, and sometimes he didn't even know what to say. Fortunately, Xiao Luo and Yue Si were there to remind him, so he didn't make any obvious mistakes.

After the dinner, everyone returned to the prepared accommodation. After Chen Xi washed up with Xiao Luo's help, he lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

"too tired!"

Talk to everyone, pay attention to how you speak and what you say, and think about the meaning of each person's words.

Although Chen Xi is smart and has gained some experience in the ways of the world after living in Chen Country for more than a year, he still feels that his intelligence and quotient are not enough when facing this higher-level existence.

Xiao Luo came in with a bowl of vegetable porridge, put it on the table, turned around, closed the door, came to the bed and said, "Miss, you didn't eat much tonight, get up and have some porridge."

Just now, Chen Xi only felt tired and sleepy. When he closed his eyes, it seemed that he would fall asleep the next moment. However, when he smelled the aroma of the vegetable porridge, he suddenly felt hungry and became much more awake.

Chen Xi got up from the bed and sat down at the table.

Xiao Luo handed over the wooden spoon: "Miss, drink slowly, it's hot."

With a grunt, Chen Xi took the wooden spoon, scooped half a spoonful of vegetable porridge, blew on it before putting it into his mouth.

Chen Xi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Huh? Did you add plum vinegar?"

Xiao Luo said carefully: "I only added a little bit. If you don't like it, I won't put it next time."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's very appetizing and tastes okay, but there's a little too much."

"Then I'll put less next time!" Seeing that Chen Xi didn't dislike it and seemed very satisfied, Xiao Luo said excitedly.

After drinking a few more mouthfuls of vegetable porridge and feeling a little full, Chen Xi looked up and said, "Do you have any more vegetable porridge? Go and give some to Yue Si."

After saying that, Chen Xi sighed and said, "There were so many people talking to her at the banquet. She must not have eaten much. She must be hungry."

Xiao Luo looked at her innocent young lady and was a little speechless, "Miss Yue, she must be full, you don't have to worry about her."

Chen Xi didn't believe it: "How can she have time to eat? If you don't want to send it over, you can tell Chen Zhan."

Seeing that the young lady had misunderstood, Xiao Luo hurriedly explained: "No, she was really full, and I didn't make much, just three bowls. I drank one bowl, and Commander Ling passed by and drank a bowl. This is your last bowl."

Chen Xi felt relieved after listening to Xiao Luo's explanation. She was still worried that Xiao Luo would target Yue Si again, but she still didn't believe that Yue Si could have enough food to eat under such circumstances!

Seeing that Chen Xi still didn't believe it, Xiao Luo had to explain.

"Miss, don't think Miss Yue is talking to people all the time. She actually hasn't stopped eating. She even ate a lot of Xiao Yi."

Seeing Xiao Luo's assurance, Chen Xi also became skeptical: "But how did they do it?"

"Miss, I will talk to you while you drink the porridge, otherwise the porridge will get cold." Xiao Luo said.

Chen Xi nodded, picked up the spoon, and pricked up his ears, wanting to know how Yue Si managed to eat a full meal in that situation.

Xiao Luo: "You should have seen Xiao Yi helping to cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, right?"

Chen Xi thought about it. She spent most of her time talking to officials in the city and their families, and did not notice what Xiao Yi was doing.

However, at this time, he absolutely could not admit this in front of Xiao Luo, so he hummed softly and lowered his head to drink his porridge to hide the slight guilt he felt for lying.

Xiao Luo noticed that Chen Xi was a little strange, and paused for a moment before slowing down her speech and continuing, "While Miss Yue was talking to someone, Xiao Yi helped her prepare the food. Whenever she had a break from talking or took the opportunity to talk to Xiao Yi, she would eat a few bites."

"Miss, don't be fooled by the fact that Miss Yue usually eats slowly and elegantly. In fact, she eats very fast, but because her movements are so beautiful, people often don't notice it."

"Also, Miss Yue would eat a few mouthfuls of food every time she drank or toasted, using the excuse that she couldn't hold her liquor. But from what I've observed, she should be able to hold her liquor quite well."

"It is rumored that women of the Si tribe can drink a lot, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The more Chen Xi listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He could not even taste any flavor in the vegetable porridge in the bowl. Only the sour taste remained.

He looked at Xiao Luo with some resentment and asked aggrievedly: "Xiao Luo, why didn't you tell me this earlier? Besides, Xiao Yi even knew to help cut the meat, what about you?"

Xiao Luo felt even more aggrieved, with mist in her big eyes: "Miss, I cut it for you, it's all in front of you."

"And I've reminded you several times, but every time, you don't eat, but look around nervously. I can't feed you in this situation."

....So it's all my own fault!

Chen Xi suddenly felt unwell. "It seems that I still have a lot to learn. I didn't expect that such a small banquet would have so many tricks."

"This is also my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to the lady in advance. I will definitely not do it again next time." Xiao Luo took the opportunity to put the blame on herself.

Chen Xi thought that today was just a small banquet, and when she arrived at Hongcheng, the capital of Yao Kingdom, there would definitely be a banquet with stricter rules waiting for her.

Before, she didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just about chatting and getting to know some more people. But she never imagined that there were so many twists and turns involved, and even if she wanted to get enough food, she had to use her brain.

Xiao Luo knew that Chen Xi was tired today and they had to set off again early tomorrow morning, so she didn't say much. After Chen Xi finished her meal, she helped her to bed and then went out with the bowl.

Feeling sleepy and tired, Chen Xi drank some vegetable porridge to fill his stomach. After lying down for a while, he fell asleep.
