After Madam Lei left, Lei Jianfeng called out to everyone. He had learned his lesson and no longer paid attention to Ming Xi. Instead, he warmed up to the others, finally alleviating the awkwardness of the banquet.
Although the others felt that Ming Xi was too cold, when they thought of the pirates yesterday and Bai Luoshan and Xu Jinbei's attitude towards him, they only dared to grumble in their hearts and continued chatting with Lei Jianfeng.
Not long after, Great Miss Lei arrived.
The budding girl was wearing a purple peony and chrysanthemum patterned shiny satin jacket and a plain pleated skirt. She looked demure and elegant. Although she was still young, she already had a graceful aura. She had just appeared at the door, but it was already enough to draw people's attention.
Three thousand Soaring Cloud Phoenixes, Four Seasons Azure Sky Jade Dragons.
This was the Lei Bingfu who had received the two prophecies.
Ming Xi looked up indifferently. Perhaps it was because there were too many good-looking people around him, so he felt that Lei Bingfu was not as beautiful as the rumors said. At most, she was passable.
"Little Sister, why have you come?" Lei Jianfeng pretended to be surprised.
"Big Brother, Uncles." Lei Bingfu curtsied. Her actions were appropriate, and her every action did not lose the bearing of a noble lady. Even Bai Luoshan nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man sitting beside Lei Jianfeng said, "Why has Fu 'er come out? Isn't she feeling unwell? She should be resting in her room. "
"Mother said that she is hosting a banquet for the benefactors who saved our lives yesterday. I want to personally thank them." Lei Bingfu smiled and turned to look at Ming Xi and Xu Jinbei. She said in a pleasant voice, "I heard that these people are Young Master Xu's friends. It is all thanks to Young Master Xu that we were able to be saved this time. The heavens still care for our Lei Family. This little girl thanks Young Master Xu and our benefactors."
Xu Jinbei stood up and bowed back. "Miss Lei is too kind."
Lei Bingfu had a sweet smile on her face. She looked at Ming Xi and Shang 'er. "The conditions on the ship are simple and crude. We have neglected our benefactors."
"We are not benefactors." Ming Xi said lightly. "With Great Miss Lei's intelligence, even without us yesterday, I believe you would have been able to escape."
"Little Lord, you really think too highly of me." Lei Bingfu said with a smile. She walked to the seat on the other side of Lei Jianfeng and sat down. "I asked the fishermen to make this crispy fish jerky. You guys can try it."
Shang'er was chewing on the dried fish. Hearing Lei Bingfu's words, she finally looked up and said, "It's delicious."
"Really? Then I'll make some more so that you can keep them by your side as snacks. "Lei Bingfu's face was full of smiles, as if being acknowledged by Shang 'er was a very happy thing.
"We'll reach the shore soon. We're not going the same way, so there's no need to trouble Miss Lei." Ming Xi declined indifferently.
Lei Bingfu was slightly surprised. "I thought I would always be going the same way as my benefactors, but it doesn't matter even if we don't go the same way. I'll have someone prepare it and bring it to you when we disembark."
"Thank you, you're the best." Shang'er said with a smile.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Lei Bingfu asked with a smile. She could already confirm that the youth was His Royal Highness, Ming Xi, who had been missing for four years. She was just not so sure now. Could this little girl be Mo Mingyu?
It turned out that the news from the capital was true. Mo Rongzhan and Lu Yaoyao had returned. However, since the capital was still peaceful and Murong Ke was planning on conferring again, it seemed that they didn't intend to fight for the throne.
That was for the best. She still had a chance to enter the palace.
"Shang 'er." Shang' er said her name very straightforwardly as she had been fed.
Not Mo Mingyu? Lei Bingfu was surprised. If she wasn't Princess Mingyu, then who was she?
Before Lei Bingfu could continue asking, Shang'er said seriously, "You look good like this. You look much better than before. If you don't know how to disguise yourself, I can teach you. You won't make yourself ugly."
"…" Lei Bingfu immediately understood the meaning behind Shang'er's words. It turned out that they had already recognized her as the disguised servant girl.
Xu Jinbei coughed lightly. Although he already knew that Lei Bingfu had disguised herself as a servant girl after Ming Xi's reminder, it was still quite embarrassing to say it out loud.
The banquet finally ended. Lei Jianfeng and the others didn't stay long and left. Ming Xi and Fire Phoenix returned to the deck and could already vaguely see the harbor.
"Young Master Ming Xi …" Xu Jinbei walked behind Ming Xi. "You're not going back to the capital. Are you going to Tianjin City?"
"Yes. When you see your grandfather in the future, send him my regards," Ming Xi said to Xu Jinbei.
Xu Jinbei said, "Can I go with you?"
Ming Xi turned to look at him. "What?"
"I've always planned to travel and learn. If I can follow by your side, I'll go anywhere," Xu Jinbei said in a low voice. Xu Jinbei said in a low voice. He had interacted with Ming Xi before. Although this former Imperial Highness was younger than him, he was very knowledgeable. Most importantly, he was smarter than anyone else. At that time, only Ming Xi understood the things that Mister Huangfu had taught him thoroughly.
He faintly felt that he could learn more by following by Ming Xi's side than by traveling all over the world.
"How can you be considered traveling with me? My father said that I'm ignorant and incompetent." Ming Xi smiled. "We're going on an adventure, not to learn."
"There's no end to learning. No matter what it is, going out is a kind of experience," Xu Jinbei said. "No matter where you go, I'm willing to follow."
Fire Phoenix came over. "You want to be Ming Xi's little brother?"
Xu Jinbei was stunned. He didn't understand what little brother meant.
Ming Xi pushed Fire Phoenix away. "Xu Jinbei, you're no longer my study companion. I can't go back to being a prince. You really don't need to follow me."
"I know." Xu Jinbei smiled. "I'm not doing this for anything else. I just want to have a rich life memory."
"Think carefully. After we reach Tianjin City, we might go out to sea. Whether we come back in the future is another matter," Ming Xi said lightly. He didn't mind bringing Xu Jinbei along, but he was afraid that he would regret it in the future.
Hearing that they were going out to sea, Xu Jinbei's eyes revealed a fervent anticipation. "Young Master Ming Xi, let me follow you."
"Are you sure Elder Xu will agree?" Ming Xi asked.
"Grandfather has always approved of me traveling the world," Xu Jinbei said seriously.
Ming Xi glanced at him. "Then it's up to you."
Joy flashed across Xu Jinbei's face. "Thank you, Young Master Ming Xi."
"Since you're going to follow us, don't call me young master or young master. Just call me Ming Xi." At least it sounded better.
"You really agree to let him follow us?" Fire Phoenix was a bit dissatisfied. This way, they wouldn't be able to do many things. They wouldn't be able to secretly fly in the sky in the middle of the night.
Ming Xi said lightly, "Don't you think he's trustworthy?"
Fire Phoenix looked at Xu Jinbei. "That's not it …"
He seemed like a trustworthy person.
