Some people at the scene screamed in surprise, and some were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.
Amidst the screams, Lin Xi stood there expressionlessly.
It was as if she was not the one who caused all this, but she was watching the struggles of all living beings with cold eyes. I don’t know whether it is Buddha or Shura.
Ling Sheng gradually realized something was wrong. He touched blood, but only a little.
It didn't come out like he expected.
He calmed down, grabbed the attendant next to him and asked, "What's going on? Am I injured?"
The attendant's voice trembled: "Third Prince, you are only slightly bruised, but it's not serious. Just now you stretched out your hand to cover it, but now the wound has scabbed and is no longer bleeding..."
Ling Sheng thought about his gaffe just now and felt a little embarrassed on his face.
When everyone saw that the third prince was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, just a little injury."
"Scared me."
Emperor Zhou was also frightened just now. Now that he understands the situation, although he is curious about why Lin Xi is so good at swordsmanship, now is not the time to investigate.
He opened his mouth and continued talking to Xini: "The third prince's reminder just now made sense. Fortunately, it was just a scratch and harmless. Lin Xi, you were too careless and didn't apologize."
Lin Xi said perfunctorily: "It's an unintentional mistake. You shouldn't care about a weak woman like me, right? I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."
After drinking tea by herself, Lin Xi wanted to imitate the other party and slam the tea cup to the ground.
Are you the only one who has a temper?
But if you take a closer look, you will see that this tea cup is very beautifully made... If you take it to a pawn shop outside, you will get at least one hundred taels of silver.
Seeing that no one noticed, she conveniently hid the tea cup in the cuff of her clothes.
The momentum is already there, and there is no need to throw another wine glass.
Ling Sheng: "..."
Where are you weak? You are scarier than ten men! Especially with this very deceptive face, he is scarier than a hundred men!
Emperor Zhou deliberately suppressed the other party's arrogance. After asking the question without saltiness, he immediately said: "The daughter of the British father-in-law will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"
Lin Xi raised his eyes and saw that the emperor finally made peace with Xini this time.
Ling Sheng snorted coldly and said unconvinced: "This lady said she had studied for a few days, but it turned out to be a lie. It doesn't look like she only studied for a few days."
Lin Xi: "People in some places have to show great ability even if they are only three points of ability, because they have not been educated. Our country of Zhou, which has a profound cultural heritage, is different and respects modesty as a virtue. You don't understand normal."
Ling Sheng raised his voice: "How dare you humiliate me!"
Lin Xi looked calm: "How can this be considered a humiliation? You don't want me to be humble, and you don't like it when I tell the truth. Could it be that the Third Prince only wants to hear compliments and not the truth?"
After a pause, Lin Xi said again: "I understand, I am a guest from afar, and I will definitely make you feel at home."
Lin Xi winked at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan immediately understood and stood up and said: "The third prince of Li Kingdom is as good as a crown jewel and his talents are eight dozen high."
Liang Qian smiled slightly: "The third prince is kind and polite."
"The third prince is upright and honorable, and he knows how to treat guests well." A son from an aristocratic family who had long disliked Ling Sheng's words and deeds stood up and added.
These compliments were ironic at first sight, and some people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Lin Xi asked with concern: "How are you now? Do you feel like going home?"
"You..." The veins on Ling Sheng's hands popped out in anger, and he couldn't understand that this was sarcasm.
He glared fiercely at the instigator, who happened to be looking at him as well.
Lin Xi was playing with the sword in her hand. She did not return it, but placed it on the chopping board casually.
The expression on his face was smiling, but his eyes were cold.
She has a pair of eyes that can speak.
But now I am saying: If you speak rudely again, the blade of the sword will cut your neck. That's not just a little bloodshed.
Ling Sheng was afraid of the other party and did not argue again.
Different from the aggressive behavior at the beginning, although he would make a jab from time to time, he was much more measured...
A group of civil servants and aristocratic families were usually dissatisfied with the great achievements of the Duke's government, but in today's situation, they all felt that Lin Xi had done the right thing.
The barbarians should be given a warning.
When they came out of their elated mood, they realized something was wrong again...
Lin Xi actually has high attainments in swordsmanship? In the past, the scenery was not revealed at all!
Many people craned their necks to look at the table with porcelain chips stuck into it.
The porcelain piece was almost completely embedded in the table... without being shattered.
Many people couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of their necks, and looked at Lin Xi with fear in their eyes.
Emperor Zhou also thought of this. She lamented that if she had known this earlier, it would have been better to adopt Lin Xi’s brother to the Duke’s Mansion...
Fortunately, Lin Xi is not a man. And why didn't Liang Jing'an remind himself as soon as possible?
Lin Xi seemed to be aware of it, stood up and said openly: "Don't worry, I deliberately drove the porcelain pieces in completely so that the third prince's hand would not be scratched and there would be no need to change seats."
Isn’t that very thoughtful? There will be absolutely no secondary harm.
Everyone: "..."
Are you threatening?
Today, the envoys from Li Kingdom and Beichen were shocked. At the same time, it also shocked many dignitaries of the Zhou Kingdom.
After the critical incident, Lin Xi looked relaxed and continued to eat and drink. Just like she always does.
Wait, how it usually looks?
After all, if I had seen it with my own eyes and seen the other party's beautiful and refined face, I would never have imagined that she would behave like this!
This makes people feel even more ridiculous and scary...
This is too hidden!
The atmosphere of the banquet was weird and everyone was not relaxed.
In addition to Guo Gong's Mansion, there are several other people who have good relations with Guo Gong's Mansion.
There were literally no survivors.
Go and read a copy of the Duke's Mansion? First think about whether your neck is as hard as the chopping board.
Although Liang Jing'an had great achievements, he was very loyal to the emperor and patriotic. This was also his weakness. He cared too much about what the emperor wanted to say.
The aristocratic family is well aware of this and often uses it to suppress him.
Lin Xi and the British father are not quite the same.
When all the things that happened after she returned to Beijing were put together... she would be amazed at how well this person disguised herself.
This is an extremely horrific thing.
Don't try to kidnap her with morals at all, she has no morals at all!
It just comes out as you think, whatever you want!
They have also participated in the British Catholic Church Women's Improper Act before.
But now they don't dare to participate in this, because it is really inappropriate for a goddaughter!
You said that if she raised the sword... wouldn't it be worth the loss?
The arrogant prince of Li Kingdom was frightened. Well, everyone only has one life.
Su Yangyang looked in disbelief. She never expected that things would develop like this...
I was still imagining just now that after Lin Xi loses face, she will attract most people's attention, and then they will not remember her refusal to dance.
She murmured to herself: "Lin Xi has been hiding for so long just to be in the limelight."
Zhong Xiao glanced at her: "I'm afraid not."
Su Yangyang bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing.
Men know what girls are thinking! obviously it is!
Chapter 60
Su Yangyang's heart felt cold.
No wonder Lin Xi pushed her out, originally planning to come out to save the situation himself.
This is even more impressive.
Regardless of whether she dances today or not, she will become a stepping stone for the other party.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, but she couldn't say these words...
After all, if she said it, it would only make people think that she was petty and careless, and it would become her fault.
Su Yangyang smiled: "It turns out that she is so powerful. I couldn't tell it before. Everyone should have known about it earlier."
Zhong Xiao didn't answer, he looked at Lin Xi through the crowd.
After discovering that she was not the savior he was looking for, he had a strong premonition at first.
He had a premonition that the other party would come to him, pester him, or come to him to apologize.
But in fact, she never came once.
Even after each meeting, the relationship between the two people became worse.
But he had never been so angry as at this moment.
Lin Xi was not honest when they first met, and later deliberately concealed her martial arts skills.
