However, she hid it very well. In an instant, she put on a smile and said with concern, “How’s your leg? When will you recover?”
“The doctor said that it will be fine in about two weeks. Thank you for your concern,” said Shi Xi politely.
“That’s good. Your wedding with Ryan is approaching. It won’t look good if you wear a wedding dress and sit in a wheelchair.” Princess Helius was wearing a dark purple court dress and holding a dark purple fan in her hand. She covered her mouth with the fan and smiled. “Let me introduce you to some friends.”
As she spoke, she pushed Shi Xi into the circle of aristocratic ladies and introduced her, regardless of whether she was willing or not.
The gazes of the noble ladies fell on Shi Xi and sized her up. There was a smile on their faces, but there was no kindness in their eyes.
When they were chatting, it was obvious that they were leaving Shi Xi hanging, discussing topics that only they liked, while also supporting Helius.
Shi Xi listened quietly at the side, not caring that she was not the center of the conversation.
Not long after, Ryan came looking for her.
“I’ve been looking for you for a long time. So you’re here.” Ryan’s eyes were deep, as if he was looking at the woman he loved. He said, “Did 1 make you wait?”
“The Princess said to bring me to meet some friends.” Shi Xi smiled lightly.
“I see.” Ryan looked at Helius.
“We’re all at the banquet. Are you afraid that I’ll kidnap your Princess Consort?”
“That’s hard to say,” Ryan replied with a smile.
Helius narrowed his eyes.
Ryan pushed Shi Xi away.
Behind him, the noble ladies said disdainfully, “I really don’t know why the First Prince would like her. I wonder which poor country she came from to beg?”
“Yeah, she’s just a little pretty. She’s useless!”
“If the Princess Consort was Bonita, 1 could still understand. At least she is
Duke Kasse’s daughter. Where did this princess come from?”
“She’s Shi Xi, a female celebrity in China.”
“It’s her.”
“Oh my god! 1 heard that Shi Xi’s reputation is still bad. 1 did not expected the First Prince to marry such a woman as his consort! Does he not want to inherit the throne?”
“I heard that the First Prince crippled the Second Prince in order to keep watch!”
“There’s actually such a thing? If the Second Prince was really disabled, wouldn’t the First Prince be able to sit on the throne? No wonder he wasn’t afraid of marrying a poor foreign woman.”
After Shi Xi left, she was immediately discussed by the noble ladies from her hair to her toes.
Helius was listening at the side. When she heard the words ‘inherit the throne’, her eyes moved.
She was the princess of the royal family, so she naturally knew the current situation.
The Second Prince’s bones were broken, but he was still far from being disabled.
She didn’t expect the rumors to be so ridiculous.
The noble lady who was whispering wanted to continue chatting, but she suddenly remembered that Princess Helius was still beside her and instantly froze.
The noble lady’s gaze was fleeting.
“All, your clothes are so beautiful! Is the bracelet new?”
“Yes, yes, the weather is really good today.”
“You guys talk, I’ll go take a look elsewhere.”
After Helius left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
“It was too close just now. I actually spread rumors about the Second Prince in front of the Princess.”
“The Princess did not refute. Could it be that the Second Prince is really crippled?”
“I’m not sure, but this way, the probability of the Second Prince inheriting the throne is even lower.”
“I have no objections to the First Prince inheriting the throne in the future.. However, the candidate for the Princess Consort cannot be Shi Xi!”
