Planning to marry the third master

At the beginning of the banquet, the host's relatives sat in the main seats in the main hall, including Concubine De, Prince Yan, Prince Yu, Princess Yu, Prince Hui, Princess Hui, the Sixth Princess, Du Chengmao, and since Xie Yunxiao was the highest official and his uncle was the eldest, Feng Zhuohua had to sit with them.

Originally, men and women were arranged to sit at separate tables, but Defei wanted to talk to Prince Yan, so the aunt made this temporary arrangement to take care of Defei. Feng Zhuohua sat at the last seat. Fortunately, Xie Yunxiao was next to him, otherwise he would have had intestinal obstruction before he even had his meal.

Prince Yan said, "When did mother arrive? Why didn't anyone send a message?"

De Fei picked up the chopsticks, moved her mouth, and said, "Why did you send it here? It's to make them feel reserved. It's better to just leave it like this and keep a low profile."

"Have you seen it in the mansion?"

"I've seen it. It's quite deserted. Are you used to living alone?"

People started to pick up their chopsticks one after another, but Feng Zhuohua put the braised meat in front of her into the bowl without touching it. She was used to such occasions, as she had been living quietly in the Xie Mansion since she was a child.

There was a clear voice from Concubine De, saying, "I'm used to it. I live wherever I go. There's nothing I can't get used to."

Xie Yunxiao used his own bowl to pour a bowl of soup and exchanged it with Feng Zhuohua.

Many people at the table looked at her, but Feng Zhuohua didn't even raise her eyes. She picked up the soup spoon and ate it in small bites. She thought Xie Yunxiao was very low-key.

"Mother feels that you are in need of someone who understands your feelings. How about I send Lin'er to you?"

Gu Xingyan immediately shook his head and said, "No."

"Why?"

"Li Dequan is enough."

Princess Yu interrupted, "Li Dequan is not as careful as a maid."

Concubine De said, "That's the truth."

Everyone knew what Concubine De was sending. Gu Xingyan had his own thoughts and said, "My son's marriage is coming soon, and it's not appropriate for him to have a maid by his side."

Concubine De smiled and said, "Do you care so much about Miss Xu's opinion?"

"Not really, it's just that my son thinks it's inappropriate."

It's not appropriate to say these words in this occasion, but today we are all family, it feels like a family dinner, and Concubine De has few opportunities to talk to her children now, and it's not something she can't talk about, so she just said it as a family matter. "What's inappropriate?"

"Should mother's people be respected or ordered around? Anyone's people will do. It's hard to deal with mother's people if they make mistakes."

"What do you want to do? If you don't have any ideas, just serve as a maid. I didn't ask you to serve me."

Feng Zhuohua thought Gu Xingyan was a good person, who was thoughtful and careful. Unlike other princes, he gave people a clear and clean feeling.

Feng Zhuohua thought it was a good idea to raise a son like Gu Xingyan.

When Xie Yunxiao saw Feng Zhuohua finish drinking, he stretched out his long hand, picked up the hot boneless fish belly and put it into the bowl, and then returned his bowl to Feng Zhuohua. If we talk about etiquette, Xie Yunxiao didn't care about etiquette at all.

Feng Zhuohua: "......." She looked around and felt that everyone at the table was looking at her. She whispered: "I can do it myself."

Xie Yunxiao said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Okay, which one do you want to eat?"

Feng Zhuohua looked at Xie Yunxiao in confusion.

He acted as if nothing had happened.

Concubine De asked by name, "Madam General, do you think we should arrange a maid to serve him?"

Feng Zhuohua put down his chopsticks and replied, "It depends on whether Prince Yan cares about whether his future wife will think too much. If he doesn't care, then it doesn't matter."

After hearing this, Concubine De remembered that it would be a sin if the children did not get along well in the future, so she said, "You are right to remind me. I'd better not get involved in this matter."

Princess Yu said, "That's not right. Is it possible that the lady of the house is jealous of this?"

Gu Pinting said, "Fifth brother is a prince, a precious person. Having someone who understands his health and takes care of him is for his own good. It won't delay his marriage. What's your intention in saying this?"

Feng Zhuohua felt like she was being besieged. She said calmly, "I'm talking about the person, not the matter. People have their own scale. If you care about someone, others will see it. If you don't care, it doesn't matter how many people are around you."

Xie Yunxiao actually picked up the chopsticks and fed it to Feng Zhuohua's mouth, saying: "Why are you wasting time talking? Eat."

A table of people looked at Xie Yunxiao's appearance. What was he going to do? Was he going to show off his affection?

Feng Zhuohua blushed and looked at Xie Yunxiao, her eyes trying to tell her what he meant, but he was waiting for her to open her mouth. Feng Zhuohua had no choice but to open her mouth. She chewed twice and then whispered, "I can do it myself."

Concubine De looked at her with interest and asked, "Do you usually get along like this?"

Xie Yunxiao said calmly: "She doesn't eat much on weekdays, and she has been busy since early morning and hasn't had a rest yet. Naturally, I feel sorry for her." He spoke naturally, as if he was waiting for Concubine De to ask something.

Feng Zhuohua felt that Xie Yunxiao had gone too far, and said angrily: "Well, we are outside, not at home, aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself by doing this?"

Xie Yunxiao said: "Laugh if you want to. I care about you. What does it have to do with others?"

Feng Zhuohua was speechless and said, "Alright, I know you care about me, I appreciate your kindness."

Xie Yunxiao said: "It's good to know, but don't stop me from entering the house when we get back."

Feng Zhuohua's blood boiled, his face flushed, and he echoed, "It depends on your performance."

"Okay. I'll satisfy you."

The two of them were being so intimate as if they were alone. It was really inappropriate for such an occasion, but it didn't seem out of place and seemed very natural.

Concubine De smiled and said, "You two are newly married and it's like honeymoon. My appetite has also improved a lot."

Xie Yunxiao's appetite also improved.

Feng Zhuohua didn't know who Xie Yunxiao was showing off to, but she said that because she didn't like Gu Pingting.

Everyone at the table had different thoughts.

Princess Yu and Meng Qingwan were both hurt by the words "do you care?". Their husbands had many women and never said they loved each other. But they didn't care.

Gu Pingting gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that Xie Yunxiao did it on purpose.

Prince Yu felt that Baili Jimo was doing this on purpose to show him that this woman was his. He also didn't believe that the two of them were as loving as they seemed. After all, Feng Zhuohua was using him, and he knew it at the beginning. No one would accept it.

Prince Hui spoke up and said, "How can we just eat without drinking? Come, Fifth Brother, I'll toast you a glass."

Prince Yan raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Third Brother."

Prince Yu said, "Fifth brother, let's drink one too."

"Good brother."

Xie Yunxiao also drank a few glasses with Gu Xingyan. Gu Xingyan couldn't drink much and was soon stopped by Concubine De. Gradually, it became Prince Yu who drank with Xie Yunxiao.

When two of them face off, it's a life-and-death battle.

Feng Zhuohua didn't care about that. When she was almost done eating, Shuangxi whispered something to her. Her expression changed and she said to Concubine De, "My Lady Concubine De, I'll be back soon."

De Fei nodded: "Go ahead."
