Before Jiujiu could speak, the culprit, Li Ruyi, opened her eyes wide and said pitifully, "Miss Zheng, I'm sorry. I really didn't do it on purpose. You won't blame me, right?"
Once Li Ruyi said this, if Jiujiu had any intention of blaming her, it would seem that Jiujiu was petty.
At such a young age, she was so scheming even when apologizing. It really made people feel disgusted.
No wonder she was able to capture the Third Prince's heart. The two of them were the same type of person.
Since she couldn't blame Li Ruyi, it didn't matter if she dug a hole for her.
Jiujiu calmly removed the things from her body and said with a smile, "Miss Li has a lively and cheerful personality. How could I blame you? However, this is a banquet after all. I'm afraid you've lost your composure. It's fine if you spilled it on me this time, but if you spilled it on someone else in the future, I'm afraid it won't be good. I hope Miss Li will be more careful in the future. "
Jiujiu didn't blame Li Ruyi, but she hinted that Li Ruyi had a rash personality.
Being lively and cheerful was a good thing, but if it was to the point of being rash, then it wasn't good.
The Young Masters present were naturally looking for the Mistress of the family. The Mistress of the family could be lively and cheerful, but she absolutely could not be rash. After all, the Mistress of the family had to be responsible for the ways of the world, as well as the important matters of human interaction. If you were to be rash and offend some people you shouldn't offend, you would attract an undeserved calamity.
Because of Jiujiu's word 'rash', the young masters who originally had some thoughts about Li Ruyi instantly changed their attitude.
Li Ruyi originally wanted to gain the initiative by striking first so that Jiujiu wouldn't blame her. She didn't expect Jiujiu to give her such a rash conclusion. She instantly felt miserable.
She had just done something wrong. If she refuted Jiujiu, it wouldn't be good. Li Ruyi could only grit her teeth and swallow her grievances. In the future, she would think of a way to wash away this rash conclusion.
Although the pastries were dry, the tea was wet.
Not only would it be uncomfortable to wear wet clothes in spring, but it would also be easy to get sick. Mo Zhiyuan hurriedly asked the maidservant to bring Jiujiu to the guest room to change clothes.
After Jiujiu left, the man who originally had a good impression of Li Ruyi began to size her up again.
The young ladies whose limelight had been stolen by Li Ruyi also gathered together to discuss.
What were they talking about? Naturally, they were talking about how Jiujiu had called Li Ruyi rash.
Although it was said that one needed to dress up meticulously to attend a banquet, the people present were more well-behaved. However, Li Ruyi actually wore a gauze dress and attracted everyone's attention the moment she entered. Even Young Master Qi Ming, whom Lu Xinyin had a good impression of, was seduced away.
Lu Xinyin was proud and arrogant. She had never been treated like this before. If there weren't so many people at the banquet, she would definitely teach Li Ruyi a lesson.
Now that Li Ruyi had been judged by Jiujiu, Lu Xinyin was overjoyed.
Li Ruyi fell into an awkward situation of being left out.
Fortunately, she wasn't left out for long. The Third Prince brought the Eighth Prince over.
The Third Prince naturally came for Jiujiu.
However, when the Third Prince arrived, Jiujiu wasn't there. Coincidentally, he was attracted by Li Ruyi's appearance and went forward to chat with her.
Li Ruyi was someone who wanted to climb up the social ladder. Naturally, she was happy to chat with the Third Prince. One was interested, the other was interested.
However, this harmony didn't last long.
Because Jiujiu had returned.
Jiujiu didn't bring a change of clothes. Naturally, she was wearing Mo Zhiyuan's clothes.
Mo Zhiyuan's figure was about the same as Jiujiu's, so Jiujiu's clothes could be worn.
However, the two of them had different temperaments. Naturally, their dressing styles were also completely different. Therefore, Jiujiu, who wore Mo Zhiyuan's clothes, had a sense of tranquility.
Previously, Jiujiu was as passionate as a ball of fire. At this moment, Jiujiu was as quiet and elegant as a lily.
The fact that a single person was able to fuse these two completely different and even contradictory temperaments together so perfectly really made one's eyes light up.
Compared to Jiujiu, Li Ruyi, who had been quite passionate just a moment ago, instantly paled in comparison.
The Third Prince walked over to Jiujiu's side and smiled. "What a coincidence."
Seeing the Third Prince, Jiujiu was also a little surprised. However, she still smiled and replied, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect the Third Prince to also attend the banquet."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked in Li Ruyi's direction and casually asked, "I wonder what the Third Prince said to Miss Li just now. It actually made Miss Li so happy."
Hearing that Jiujiu could mention Li Ruyi, the Third Prince was delighted.
So what if you pretend to be cold? You're still jealous.
The Third Prince hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't see Miss Zheng when I arrived just now, so I asked Miss Li why she didn't see you."
"So it's like that. I thought the Third Prince and Miss Li were chatting happily and were preparing to exchange tokens."
Although Jiujiu had not yet reached marriageable age, the Third Prince had long reached the suitable age for marriage. When Jiujiu mentioned the exchange of tokens, even if Jiujiu didn't say anything, the Third Prince felt that Jiujiu was definitely jealous.
The Third Prince hurriedly smiled and said, "How could that be? Even if I wanted to exchange tokens, it would be with Miss Zheng."
The Third Prince's words were basically telling Jiujiu that he was interested in Jiujiu. It was equivalent to a confession.
Jiujiu's cheeks flushed and she quickly lowered her head to avoid looking at the Third Prince. She quickly asked, "Is Little Eighth here?"
Seeing that Jiujiu was shy, the Third Prince didn't continue speaking. He was afraid that he would leave Jiujiu with the impression that he was being impetuous. Now that Jiujiu asked about the Eighth Prince, it just so happened to help him out of his predicament. Without thinking, he said, "He's here. He's eating some snacks over there. If you want to see him, I can bring him over."
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness."
Jiujiu's words softened the Third Prince's heart. He hurriedly went to help Jiujiu bring the Eighth Prince over.
After the Third Prince left, Jiujiu turned her head to look in Li Ruyi's direction.
Li Ruyi didn't expect Jiujiu to suddenly turn her head. The jealousy in her eyes was directly exposed to Jiujiu.
Seeing Li Ruyi's thick jealousy, Jiujiu curled her lips and gave Li Ruyi a provocative smile.
This smile was clearly mocking Li Ruyi for not being able to keep the Third Prince.
Li Ruyi was already furious that the Third Prince, who had been talking to her, had left quickly because of Jiujiu's arrival. At this moment, Jiujiu's provocation was like a knife stabbing into her heart. She wanted nothing more than to strangle Jiujiu to death.
The Third Prince had come for Jiujiu, but after getting the information he wanted from Jiujiu, he had mixed in with the capital's young masters.
If he wanted to become the Crown Prince, he needed not only the support of the Defender-general of the State, but also the support of the aristocratic families. Whether it was Jiujiu or those young masters, he had to curry favor with them.
The Third Prince went to interact with the young masters. Naturally, only Jiujiu and the Eighth Prince were left.
Jiujiu smiled as she watched the Eighth Prince eat the snacks on the table. She smiled and said, "Didn't you eat before coming out?"
