Chapter 1022 What is the smell in the well?

A few days before the banquet in Liang's house, Xia Baoer went to the house as usual to see how they were preparing.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Liangzhai, she helped Yan Hao's men get off the carriage, there was a person waiting at the entrance, seeing Xia Baoer coming, he happily called out: "Princess!"

Xia Baoer looked up, a little surprised: "Mr. Shen."

Holding a folding fan in his hand, Shen Xiangming walked quickly, with hot sweat hanging on his white forehead.

Seeing this, Xia Baoer couldn't help asking: "Did Mr. Shen wait for a long time, but there is something important?"

Shen Xiangming hurriedly said: "Not long ago, I just came here for a while. I... I heard that the princess is going to hold a banquet in the cool house, so I want to ask if I can attend?"

Xia Baoer nodded with a chuckle: "Of course, you can participate in the banquet regardless of your status."

"That's good!" Shen Xiangming's smile deepened: "I will bring a group of friends here. They are all well-known painters, and there are many talented people among them. They will definitely add a little fun to the banquet."

Xia Bao'er listened and said yes, stepped forward, and walked into the house.

Shen Xiangming quickly followed.

The little girl asked casually: "Is Mr. Shen a painter?"

If she wanted to inquire, she would know that Shen Xiangming was the hottest young painter.

One of his paintings can be sold for a hundred gold.

When Xia Baoer asked this question, Shen Xiangming knew very well that she must have never cared about his identity.

Otherwise, if she pays attention to observe, she will know.

But Shen Xiangming was not discouraged, instead he felt that Xia Baoer could take the initiative to talk to him, this was something that only happened in dreams before!
He hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I am ordinary, I only know how to make a living..."

Speaking of this, he was afraid that Xia Bao'er would think that he was from a poor family, so he hastily added: "In the past two years, because of some opportunities, he has saved a lot of money."

He quietly looked at Xia Baoer.

The little girl looked bright and light, without any expression of disdain.

Shen Xiangming felt at ease.

Xia Baoer looked him sideways.

Shen Xiangming is indeed as he said, his painting skills are not particularly brilliant, but he is lucky.

Who made his ancestral ancestry so rich that he could protect his descendants.

Xia Bao'er looked away after she knew it.

In the cool house at the side, the housekeeper arranged by Xia Yuantong hurried up to report on the preparations for the two-day banquet.

Xia Baoer said: "There are a lot of people coming to the cold banquet, so you have to keep an eye on the food you put in your mouth, and don't turn good things into bad things."

"Her Royal Highness, don't worry, the servant has been watching, and there will be no mistakes."

Xia Bao'er nodded and didn't speak again.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Xiangming felt uneasy, did the princess not know how to answer what she just said?
That's right, as soon as someone comes up, they mention their family background!

What's more, it's still facing the princess!

She is well loved by the emperor and all the princes, so why would she care about a little painter like him!

It happened that two people passed a deep well in the courtyard.

There were three or four servants carrying water inside, they didn't see Xia Bao'er coming, and a few of them muttered——

"Why does the well here also smell bad?"

"This water is a mountain spring, so you can't drink it?"

Xia Baoer frowned: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper had a bad premonition, and immediately scolded: "You four, come here!"

The servants turned their heads and were startled when they saw the princess coming, and they all came to salute.

Xia Bao'er pursed her lips: "You just said, why does the well smell bad?"
