afraid of getting into trouble

russell looked around.

usually, when she went out, she would be surrounded by people.

at this time, there was no one to speak up for her!

they were all watching the show!

russell looked at the noble ladies and snapped, “you saw it just now. it was shi xi who threw something at my face, right?!”

the noble ladies stood in a circle and avoided the messy dessert table for fear of getting a little bit of it.

“i didn’t see it clearly. what about you?”

“i didn’t either. by the time i got over, russell had already fallen.”

“ask the others. i just got here.”

not only were they afraid of getting dirtied by rubbish, but they were also afraid of getting into trouble.

russell looked down at the short-haired woman, who had also fallen. “tell me! did the princess consort hit me, so i fell?!”

the short-haired woman recalled the situation just now.

it seemed that her knee had hurt and knocked russell down.

but if she said something like that, russell would definitely kill her!

“i, i can’t remember clearly.” the short-haired woman averted her gaze.

“why don’t we check the surveillance cameras? there are surveillance cameras in the banquet hall. why don’t we check the cause and effect of the matter?” shi xi said magnanimously.

“this way, when the royal family judges, there will be evidence.”

“fine!” russell was aggressive.

shi xi smiled lightly. “mr. tao, please call the royal guards over.”

the short-haired woman immediately tugged at russell’s skirt. “russell, they want to see the surveillance footage!”

russell was the one who had splashed red wine on shi xi!

russell’s expression changed slightly at this thought.

but the words had already been said.

“alright, are you done fooling around?” a lazy and indifferent voice sounded, attracting everyone’s attention.

dressed in elegant purple, helius stepped forward. “russell, gerlyn, go down and change your clothes. get dressed before returning to the banquet. everyone, disperse. the banquet continues.”

seeing that the princess had come out to take charge of the situation, the others dispersed and stopped watching the show.

however, they could not help but look over.

helius looked at tao boli. “i didn’t expect mr. tao to be such a busybody.”

“that’s because she can’t compare to the princess,” tao boli said lightly.

“when the princess was needed to solve the problem, the princess would watch from the side.”

“the matter was about to be resolved, and her highness the princess appeared.”

helius tightened his grip on the fan in his hand and chuckled. “mr. tao is so humorous.”

shi xi sat at the side and found that the people from the royal family were each stranger than the last.

ryan looked straightforward and magnanimous, but he was actually full of black water. the second prince was lustful and pure trash.

this princess helius looked elegant and noble, but no one knew what she was planning.

tao boli watched as the maid helped russell down and walked behind shi xi.

“i’ll send the princess consort back first. excuse me.”

helius bowed slightly. “please.”

tao boli pushed shi xi out of the banquet hall.

everyone’s eyes were all different.

after leaving the banquet hall, shi xi asked curiously, “are you very famous? they are all looking at you.”

“i work for the first prince, so there are more people who know me.” tao boli’s voice was gentle, matching his scholarly temperament. “princess consort, you, are you happy living in the palace?”

“all?” shi xi was stunned.

tao boli realized that his question was impolite and tried to remedy the situation. “princess consort, are you having a good time in the palace?”

“it’s pretty good.” shi xi thought that other than putting her under house arrest, there was nothing wrong with the palace.

however, shi xi wouldn’t tell anyone that she was under house arrest.

others would not offer her any help and it even made her look miserable.

“princess consort, do you have any hobbies?” tao boli slowed down his pace as if he was chatting with shi xi..
