After Shi Jinyun had finished drinking, the young prince started to look at that interesting little servant girl again.

Shi Xiangxiang, on the other hand, had no idea that someone was looking at her. She was in an exceptionally cheerful mood, and from time to time she would sneak a peek to the surroundings. When she saw that everyone was staring at her, she would grab two more dishes on the table.

Zhao Yanshan's interest in her couldn't help but deepen a bit. This servant girl was really interesting. Her pretty appearance made her plain plain clothes even more breathtaking.

Zhao Yanshan put his arm on the table, tapped his fingers on the table casually and was no longer as bored as before.

Honestly speaking, he was not really interested in these mortal things. His heart was focused on interesting things, such as … A certain someone who was wolfing down his food without a care in the world.

Shi Xiangxiang was like a child who was stealing candy, but she was also like a hungry kitten. There were bits and pieces on the corner of her mouth. She stuck out her tongue and licked them, making her hands look very funny.

Shi Xiangxiang didn't pay any attention to her image. She lifted her sleeves and wiped her mouth. Don't worry, this isn't her clothes. Why should she worry about whether there are oil stains on it or not?

Zhao Yanshan: "..."

In his impression, a servant girl should pay more attention to her image than a concubine, because she would most likely turn from a sparrow into a phoenix.

If a prince were to accidentally fall in love with her, he would spend the rest of his life being afraid of eating, drinking, or living. He could just immerse himself in the gold and silver treasures and enjoy things that didn't belong to her.

But this little servant girl … Aren't you looking down on your own image too much …]

Zhao Yanshan was waiting for Shi Xiangxiang's next move. She gave him too much surprise. The little servant girl rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards a pile of delicious food. From time to time, she would put it into her sleeve, and her mouth would not spare anyone as she bit down on a piece of meat to chew.

He was clearly hungry, yet he showed a little calmness? She really can eat …

Zhao Yanshan wiped the sweat off his forehead silently. This was the first time he saw such a wild maidservant. Not only was she wild in personality, she didn't even admit defeat when it came to eating.

Was she even a servant girl? Aren't you afraid of being beheaded?

Shi Jinyun was displeased that Zhao Yanshan didn't look at her, so she followed Zhao Yanshan's gaze. Shi Xiangxiang happened to lower her head and drool while looking at the delicacy under her sleeves. If she didn't look carefully, she would only think that Zhao Yanshan was standing there respectfully.

Shi Jinyun didn't see Shi Xiangxiang at all. She thought that Zhao Yanshan didn't want to look at her.

The anger in his heart was stifled. He didn't dare to burst out, so he suppressed it. "I am Shi Jinyun, the young miss of the Shi Family. I've heard that an important guest will be coming today. My father has ordered me to bring a cup of Gilly Wine to your esteemed guest."

Zhao Yanshan stared closely at Shi Xiangxiang who was not far away. He wanted to see if she would do anything, so he replied plainly, "Put it there."

Shi Jinyun harbored malicious intentions. Naturally, she would not simply leave. What she wanted was not to simply pass wine to Zhao Yanshan.

"Your Majesty, my father said that this wine represents great fortune. We must drink it in a moment to be able to travel more smoothly in the future …"

Zhao Yanshan noticed that Shi Jinyun kept talking non-stop and refused to leave. As long as he finished the glass of wine, Shi Jinyun would definitely stop bothering him to look at this servant girl.

With that thought in mind, he picked up the wine cup that Shi Jinyun passed to him and gulped it down without saying anything else.

"You can go now. Tell Lord Shi that I thank him for his good intentions."

"Here." On the surface, Shi Jinyun seemed to be leaving, but in reality, she was hiding something else. She pretended to be careless and spilled all the wine she put in the pot onto Zhao Yanshan.

Seeing that Zhao Yanshan had backed off, Shi Jinyun went forward and pretended to be frightened. "Your Highness, Jinyun didn't do it on purpose, Your Highness …"

Seeing Shi Jinyun like this, Zhao Yanshan didn't know what to say. He was not an unreasonable person, so he naturally understood that everyone would make mistakes.

"It's fine. Don't be afraid. I am not a stubborn and unreasonable person. I won't blame you."

Lilit knelt down and kowtowed twice. "Thank you, Your Highness, for not blaming me, but Jinyun has dirtied Your Highness's dragon robe. If Jinyun doesn't help Your Highness deal with it, Jinyun will feel very bad."

Zhao Yanshan saw that Shi Jinyun wanted to help him change his clothes, so he stopped her, "No need. Miss Shi has a strong body, so how can she do the work of these servants?"

"Your Highness, in other words, you are blaming Jinyun for doing this. Jinyun knew that she had accidentally touched Your Highness' good mood, so she wanted to make up for it. Jinyun hoped that Your Highness would give Jinyun a chance."

"This prince's words are as good as gold. If I say that I won't punish you, then I won't break my promise."

Unfortunately, the smell of the wine was too strong, causing him to feel uncomfortable. When he tried to get up, he found that his body was somewhat weak. Perhaps it was because he had to review the memorial for the entire day, but he did not pay much attention to it.

Shi Jinyun stepped forward to support Zhao Yanshan, "Your Highness is too tired. If you can't even stand properly, how can you change your clothes?"

Seeing Shi Jinyun's stubbornness, Zhao Yanshan agreed. "If Master Shi saw you do this, he would probably say that I am bullying his family's daughter."

Shi Jinyun smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, crown prince. If father sees this, he will be pleased too. His daughter is the one in charge."

Shi Jinyun supported Zhao Yanshan and walked a few steps forward. Then, they bumped into Shi Chiangyue.

Shi Chiangyue pointed at Shi Jinyun and said, "I wonder if my daughter has gotten into some trouble."

Zhao Yanshan smiled, "Not at all."

"Then this …"

Shi Jinyun held Zhao Yanshan's arm and told him everything that had happened. She even looked at Zhao Yanshan apologetically as she said it.

"Father, your daughter accidentally knocked into the crown prince and spilled the wine on his golden body. The crown prince is magnanimous and did not argue with your daughter, but your daughter felt sorry for it. I had to bring the crown prince to change."

Shi Chiangyue frowned, "Why are you so careless? If it wasn't for the kindness of the crown prince, I'm afraid you would have been demoted by now."

Shi Jinyun said grievingly, "Father's teachings are right, daughter will be even more careful."

Shi Chiangyue replied plainly: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the crown prince to replace his clothes."

Shi Xiangxiang watched the show from the start. She did not know what they had said, she only knew that the father and daughter of Shi Chiangyue were sinister and cunning. She was afraid that they would harm Young Prince Zhao. Judging from the previous situation, Shi Chiangyue most likely scolded Shi Jinyun. How could that be possible? Shi Chiangyue treated his family's daughter with great respect. He couldn't fall, he couldn't touch, and even though he held it in his hand, he couldn't bear to harm it. There must be something fishy about this.

Shi Xiangxiang crept over to where they had passed and followed their footsteps.

After walking a few steps forward, he heard Shi Jinyun talking in a delicate voice, "Crown Prince, what are you doing? "Don't be so proactive. Jinyun will be shy."
