Chapter 321 - 321: Chain Reaction

There was no other reason for this. The Ruyi Building was facing the river, and it was the two-meter tall platform that Emperor Yu Heng had personally visited. It had been built a few days ago, and compared to the surrounding restaurants and tea houses, Emperor Yu Heng’s place looked rather shabby.

However, it did not matter. It would only take about two hours.

The people participating in the dragon boat crossing were all soldiers stationed in Jiankang. Emperor Yu Heng’s parade was also considered a military parade to boost morale. Not to mention the restaurants that had been booked out early, the melon seeds, honey, fruits, including dumplings, etc., were imperceptibly driving the economy of the entire Jiankang City.

Outside the building, the heads of the people gathered to shake the drums and gongs.

Xie Xian had booked the fourth floor, where he could see the entire dragon boat race from afar.

Those who could book Dragon Boat Festival at Ruyi Restaurant were either rich or noble. Most of them were seen in Jiankang. Therefore, at this time of the year, the door of every room was basically open to facilitate communication. In fact, all the public entertainment projects in Jiankang City would turn into social events.

The Xie family’s competition was about to start, so it was not the time to socialize.

Xiao Baoxin had never been to the Ruyi Pavilion before. Sikong Xiao did not care about his appearance at all. He would get sick during the Dragon Boat Festival, so he just walked around casually. He would go for a walk in the suburbs, pick flowers, and teach a lesson to a few ignorant and sarcastic noble ladies. His schedule was also full.

As a result, when she first entered the Ruyi Pavilion, she was almost frightened by the extravagance inside. The inner courtyard of the palace was only so-so.

She supported Mother Xie and walked at the front. Mother Xie was old, and although her body was strong, she could not help but go up to the fourth floor. She finally caught her breath and was about to reach the top when she heard a delicate shout. Then, a teacup was thrown at Mother Xie. If it hit her face, she would die.

Xiao Baoxin didn’t have time to pull back the hand that was holding Mother Xie’s hand. He could only stretch out his right hand and backhand. He couldn’t block it. She was afraid that she would follow the force and hit Mother Xie’s face.

She was clearly trying to save her mother with good intentions, but she had better not punch her mother in the face. Putting aside the fact that her good intentions had led to bad things, she would not be able to enjoy the image of her mother punching her in the face when she thought of it in the future.

The teacup instantly changed direction with her strength and smashed into the waiter’s temple. He was holding the teapot and teacup in his hand and was about to send water to the room when the teacup smashed. His entire body fell to the side, and the teapot fell to the side in a parabola. The pot of hot water splashed all over the woman who came out from the room. The woman screamed and staggered, bumping into the crown prince consort who followed behind her.

The woman who was drenched in hot water was the Crown Prince’s concubine, Sun Shi. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but she grabbed the Crown Prince’s face and a few bloody streaks appeared. The whole room was in a mess.

The people beside the crown prince consort called out to the crown prince consort, and the people beside the secondary consort called out to the secondary consort. Because the commotion was too big, the entire Ruyi Pavilion ran out to watch the show.

“.. Which blind person scalded this concubine? Hurry up and call the doctor!”Secondary Consort Sun screamed,”It hurts, it hurts!””

“Crown Princess Consort, are you alright?”

” Quickly call the doctor,” the Crown Princess said angrily,””! sprained my ankle.”

“Ahhh, my temple, my head.’The waiter’s head was already bleeding. He accepted the teacup, but he did not dare to expose the pot. The guests in this building were either rich or noble. He could not afford to blame it on him.

He wanted to scream and prove his innocence, but he didn’t dare to scream and startle the nobles. He could only hear a weak little voice groaning.

Fortunately, someone discovered him and reported him.

He was finally able to enter the public eye.

The instigator, Xiao Baoxin, blinked his eyes to express his innocence.

Who would have thought…

Then, before she could follow the clues, Xiao Baoxin took the initiative to stand up and surrender. This pot was not hers to begin with. No matter what, she could only be considered to have acted in self-defense. However, she also had an unshirkable responsibility for the series of things that happened later.

“It’s me. I’m sorry. But 1 am helping my grandmother upstairs, I don’t know where I am, I’m flying in

“Xiao…Madam?” Not only did the crown prince consort’s ankle hurt, but her eyes also hurt.

Crown Princess He was Xiao Jing ‘ai’s sister-in-law in his previous life.

The He family loved marriage alliances with the royal family. The father and son had married the princess, and the first daughter had married the crown prince. They were considered royal relatives.

The He family had also used Prince Jiang Xia’s connections and had already booked a room. However, it was on the third floor and was not too far away. When they heard that something had happened upstairs, they hurriedly called a group of people over and asked about their well-being. They squeezed out the words that the Crown Princess Consort had thought of to make things difficult for them.

Mother Xie could be considered to have lived a long life in Jiankang City. There were few people as old and prestigious as her. She watched as Ruyi Restaurant was in a mess and the concubine of the Sun family was still howling. She had to stand up for her granddaughter-in-law.

No, it was to uphold justice.

First, he explained to the crown prince consort how he had almost let the teacup hit his head, how his granddaughter-in-law had bravely saved him, and how this had caused the teacup to hit the waiter and everyone else to be injured.

“.. The fault is definitely our Xie family’s fault. 1 admit this, but we still have to invite the doctor now. In the future, our Xie family will bear all the responsibility.”

They didn’t even mention who threw the teacup upstairs.

The moment he asked, it was as if he was shirking responsibility.

What else could the Crown Princess say? She couldn’t possibly scold Xiao Baoxin to his face. After all, a husband and wife were noble. In the past, she didn’t even dare to order Xiao Baoxin around, let alone marry into the Xie family. His social status would rise along with it.

Mother Xie’s maiden family was also a relative of the royal family, so she had to call her great aunt. Her status was there, and even if the Crown Princess was blinded by oil, she would not dare to be calculative.

Moreover, the Crown Prince’s position was not stable now. The Crown Prince had restrained himself quite a bit. She did not dare to be high-profile and offend him. Now, she felt that it was too slow to win people’s hearts.

“There was a reason for this.’The Crown Princess was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but she had a somewhat generous bearing. “The Grand Madame’s words aren’t humiliating us juniors. It’s not a big injury…”

The Crown Princess tried to appease the situation, but Secondary Consort Sun, who was lying on the ground, could not do it.

“Do you need to pretend to be a good person here? The boiling water didn’t burn your body–all of you, get out of my way, don’t crowd around here!”Lady Sun shouted loudly while pulling the palace maid beside her and cursing,

“Are you blind? If you didn’t call the doctor, I would have been scalded. Go find Prince!”

When the He family saw this, they thought that this fellow was nothing. He dared to shout at the Crown Princess Consort.

“What status do you have to shout at the Crown Princess here?”The Eldest Madam of the He family was the biological mother of the Crown Princess Consort. Seeing her daughter being bullied, she jumped out first..
