C9 (1/2)
Prince Jin's Wife was afraid that if she disturbed the poisonous snake, it would turn out bad, so she did not call the guards over. If not for the little girl blocking her way, she would have personally killed the poisonous snake. Just as she was panicking, they suddenly saw Xie Jingxi slowly walking towards the snake. Everyone did not dare make a sound, and only watched her every move.
Xie Jingxi was still calm and composed, but Mrs. Li was so scared that she almost peed her pants. Was she even able to do it?
Xie Jingxi did not look at Madame Li's pale face. Her movements seemed slow, but the moment she got close, she grabbed onto the seven inches of snake, and her other hand took the opportunity to grab onto the head of the snake. She did not even have time to move, the viper that was glaring at her just now was already obediently restrained by her.
Prince Jin's Wife heaved a sigh of relief and then ordered the girl beside him to call for her.
”Jingwan, you're pretty good. Even I get scared when I see this. You sure are brave.” Gu Wan walked up and bared her fangs at the snake, ”You are still arrogant.”
After a long sigh of relief, the wives and grandmothers started to talk at once, ”But after losing the Third Miss, we were still in the countryside, so we have more guts than we do.”
”Yeah, yeah. He didn't scare me to death.”
Xie Jingxi did not care about it, but continued to play with the snake. After a while, the snake wrapped her wrist, looking very obedient. Just then, a guard ran over and bowed towards the Prince Jin's Wife, ”Reporting to consort, just now, King Jin and several young masters heard that consort Wang had found a snake, so they sent subordinates over to ask for it.
”Eh, this snake can actually eat?” Some of the wives and grandmothers could not help but look at him with disdain. How could such a sinister creature exist in their stomachs?
However, the Prince Jin's Wife laughed, ”They do know how to enjoy it, so take it.”
”Yes, King Jin even asked which lady got it, and said that it was for a reward.”
Surprisingly, such a poor girl was rewarded by the King Jin. However, the wangfei said, ”Go back with His Highness, it's the Xie Clan's Third Miss who got it. If he has anything good, take it out. If it's not enough, I'll add more.”
The guard was about to leave, when Xie Jingxi suddenly said: ”Wait a moment, the love between King Jin and Princess Wangfei is just a small matter. I do not want anything else, I just hope that you can give me the snake gall.”
”Oh?” The Prince Jin's Wife asked with great interest: ”Do you want the snake gall? I didn't expect you to understand this too. ”
”Your highness, your highness, please excuse me. The ancestor of the family has a problem with sputum. I was indeed using the medicine to keep it.”
Prince Jin's Wife nodded his head, ”She is a filial child. Go and tell King Jin, we will leave this snake gall for her.”
secretly gritted his teeth. Other than him, the others were more or less jealous and envious, feeling uncomfortable looking at Xie Jingxi's limelight, but there were also some who would look forward to it. Seeing that the Prince Jin's Wife was attracted to Xie Jingxi, they thought that it would be better to strike up a conversation with the Madam Xie Family.
After the appreciation of the flowers, Prince Jin's Wife then suggested the cruise ship. The manor of the King Jin was indeed very ingenious, coincidentally encircling a region of water, but after being artificially remodeled, it was easy to enjoy the lake. I heard that when the His Majesty and the imperial consort of the palace came over to enjoy the scenery, they praised the boat very much, and became even more famous.
The Prince Jin's Wife and the King Jin were holding a feast separately, all the rich and influential people in the capital were present. All of the young masters were fishing in the lake with the King Jin, and they roasted the fish over the fire immediately. King Jin took a piece of snake meat that he had just cooked and gave it to Gu Yun, ”Here, your wife caught it, quickly try it.”
Gu Yun received the meat with a smile that was not a smile, and the King Jin continued: ”I have already heard the details from the little girl in front of Royal Concubine. Your daughter-in-law is truly evil enough to dare to grab it with her bare hands, if it was me who heard this, I would feel a chill down my spine.
However, Gu Yun was not surprised at all. As he ate the snake that Xie Jingxi was holding, his lips started to release a fragrance, ”I just want this Evil Qi, if I want to be dissatisfied with the ladies in the capital, who wouldn't marry?”
The ladies were far away and could not hear the commotion. They were only eager to board the boat. After all, for the ladies of the capital, a cruise ship was a rare sight.
Xie Jingxi had seen it before, there was no lack of water in the south, she was mischievous when she was young, and spent her days in the water too. Therefore, she and Gu Wan did not rush to join in on the fun, but when Prince Jin's Wife saw the two of them later on, she called them over to her boat. Fang Wanqing was also there, she was following by the side of the wangfei the whole time, when she saw Xie Jingxi coming up, she just nodded her head, and did not say much.
