Chapter 368 – Zhao Zhang Wei Will Attend The Dinner
Eunuch Zhang's eyes went wide when he heard Zhao Zhang Wei's words.
How could his master not attend the dinner!
The loyal servant knew that if his master didn't attend this dinner then he would be punished heavily. So his eyes were filled with panic as he looked around the study room and tried to think of a way to make his master agree.
A moment later, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said
"Your Highness, Wangfei is also going to attend this dinner."
Zhao Zhang Wei who had already picked her brush to continue his work stopped suddenly amidst his actions.
His phoenix eyes narrowed as he raised his head a little and glanced at Eunuch Zhang.
"Qingqing…"
The name came out in a very soft whisper making Zhao Zhang Wei suddenly feel very refreshed.
A moment later, his face suddenly went cold and he asked Eunuch Zhang coldly.
"Why is she going to be there?"
A shiver ran down the young Eunuch. He hurriedly lowered his head and answered his master's question.
"This servant doesn't know about that, Your Highness. However, this servant heard that First Princ's princess consort is also going to be there so perhaps that's why His Majesty asked Wangfei to attend this dinner."
Zhao Zhang Wei's hands clenched around the brush in his hands and the brush broke making a sound that was clearly audible in the silent study room.
He remembered what Zhao Zhuang Chen had said about Yi Huiqing. How could he still let her go in front of that man?
"Send a letter to Lantai Courtyard and ask Wangfei to stay inside her courtyard during the whole dinner."
Eunuch Zhang swiftly raised his head and looked at Zhao Zhang Wei with a terrified expression on his face.
"But Your Highness…"
"Benwang will attend this dinner. Wangfei doesn't need to come."
Zhao Zhang Wei said coldly interrupting the young Eunuch amidst his words. After that, he didn't want to hear anything else so he said
"Now leave."
The helpless servant could only take his leave.
While Zhao Zhang Wei leaned against the chair as he pressed his temple. He wondered how exactly he would be able to have dinner with Zhao Zhuang Chen without beating the sh*t out of him.

At this moment, Xi Ying was having breakfast with his wife and son.
Sitting on his chair, Xi Ling's shook his small legs as he watched his mother serving the meal on a plate for him.
After that, his eyes went to his father who was also serving food on a plate but that plate was of his mother.
A smile emerged on Xi Ling's lips. He was happy because he could finally sense the good feeling of having a complete family.
Because of this joy when his mother put the plate in front of him, he, without any complaint, picked his chopsticks and started to eat by himself.
Xi Ling's fingers were still small and his grip on the chopsticks was not tight enough to hold the food between them.
Li Rui shook her head softly as she took the chopsticks away from her son's hands and put a spoon in their place.
Xi Ling pouted as he wanted to eat the same way his mother and father were eating, however, he also knew that he was still small so he could do nothing except eat with a spoon.
On the other hand, Xi Ying had already filled Li Rui's plate with different dishes.
Standing a few steps away from the dining table, Li Hua sneakily glanced at the plate. Liu Lan who noticed her head only sighed lightly.
It seems that Li Hua still doesn't believe Lord Xi enough to rest assured that he would care about Madam very well.
However, she also knew that currently Li Hua's attitude has softened towards Lord Xi and that was after Lord and Madam's visit to Li Manor.
Although Liu Lan didn't know what exactly happened during this visit, she was still relieved to know that Li Hua was at least respecting Lord Xi.
"You should go and rest now."
She leaned towards Li Hua a little and said
Li Hua sighed in relief when she saw that every dish in her young Miss' plate was correct. She heard Liu Lan's words and nodded her head lightly.
She could feel the pain in her shoulder now so she should go and have some rest.
Thinking this, Li Hua bowed her head and told her mistress about this.
"Liu Lan, you too go with her and apply the medicinal paste that I had given you on Li Hua's shoulder."
"Yes, Madam"
Liu Lan bowed her head and turned around to leave with Li Hua. However, Li Hua frowned as she didn't want her mistress to left alone.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Li Rui covering her mouth suddenly and putting her chopsticks back on the table.
"Rui"
Xi Ying also noticed his wife's actions and hurriedly stood up from his chair.
"Rui, what happened?"
Liu Lan and Li Hua were immediately in front of Li Rui with a bowl and cloth. Seeing this, Xi Ying frowned. With the same frown, he stepped away when he saw that Li Rui was trying to reach for the bowl.
Li Rui tried to vomit, however, nothing came out except some water. But that feeling of nauseous was still there.
"Young Miss, here …drink this."
Li Hua hurriedly forwarded a glass of water to Li Rui's lips and Li Rui drank some from it.
Standing behind the maids, Xi Ying stood unmoving as he tried to comprehend what he could do. Even Xi Ling was patting Rui's back with a face full of worry.
"Mother…Xi Ling had read that this makes the nau…nausea…ah whatever is it go away."
The young child said innocently.
Li Rui could actually feel nothing except a feathery touch on her back. Still, she couldn't help but smile lightly after hearing her son's words.
"Xiao Ling is very intelligent."
Xi Ling's eyes were filled with pride on hearing these words. He couldn't help but look towards her father to check if he had a black face or not.
Indeed, Xi Ying's face was very cold. However, the reason behind this was something else.
In the silent dining room, his cold voice sounded
"Is the food that bad? How dare they serve the bad food to this Lord's wife!"
The little bun also nodded his head.
"Right…how dare they serve the bad food to Xi Ling's mother!"
The three women in the dining room could only sigh on hearing their words.
