Xie Songhua saluted her according to the rules, and then sat aside at the old lady's instruction.
"That day when we returned from the outskirts of Beijing, our little prince always mentioned the fourth girl. She was such a well-educated girl, and the Empress Dowager and the princess never gave up on her. Over the years, I have been somewhat graceful, and the little prince looked after me.
When I grew up, I thought that it was rare for him to seriously fall in love with a girl, so I also helped to speak up, and that's why our little prince came to the house rashly."
The old lady hurriedly said humbly: "The little prince is among the best among men. He is straightforward and can't be considered reckless."
In such an occasion, there is no room for Xie Songhua to interrupt, even if the discussion at the moment is her marriage.
The two elderly women set the tone of the current conversation.
"To be honest, regarding the princess of the little prince, we, the eldest princess, including the Holy Emperor, have other plans. It's just that it's not the right time yet, so it's not easy to publicize it. The little people don't know the importance of this, so they rashly
He dared to come to the door and make nonsense. When the princess came back that day and found out about it, she was really shocked.
That night, he was called to give him a good scolding. Unexpectedly, the child actually aroused a rebellious mentality and actually wanted to run to the palace and let the Holy One make the decision. Alas, this child is old and it is really difficult to deal with it. Fortunately, although the Holy One has
Even though he loved me, he didn't let him have his temper."
The smile on the old lady's face was a bit unbearable. This meant very clearly that neither the eldest princess nor the Holy Emperor would agree to let Xie Songhua marry into the eldest princess's mansion and become the county princess.
Aunt Zhao seemed not to notice the expression on the old lady's face, and continued: "But children from families like ours are all pampered and pampered when they grow up, especially those like the little prince. How can there be such a person in this world?"
Something you can’t get?
The commotion was really serious, and I had no choice but to think that my old face would work well in the capital, so I specially invited Miao Ying to come over and have a look, so the old lady wouldn’t think I was too embarrassed!"
"Where do you start talking about this?" The old lady quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "Mama Zhao is an honored guest that other people like us can't even invite. We have been looking forward to coming so morning and night!"
"Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush," said Aunt Zhao with an almost joyful smile on her face, and suddenly asked doubtfully, "Why don't you see the second wife? Logically speaking, in such an occasion, she should be called the fourth miss.
Only when mother is present."
After saying this, everyone present felt a little embarrassed on their faces. Xie Shuhua's story has been spread to everyone. She was raised by the Qi family. Why she is not on such an important occasion now, you will understand after a little thought.
Aunt Zhao is clearly trying to intimidate the Xie family.
The old lady said calmly: "My daughter-in-law has not been feeling well these past two days."
"Ah! So that's it." Aunt Zhao still had the same smile, so she continued what she had just said, "Last night, our eldest princess and I made a summary. This princess... our girl is probably not very old.
Appropriate, but our little prince is married to Yudie's clan, and according to the rules, he also has the status of two concubines, but we can still discuss it, what do you think?"
Xie Songhua was sitting nearby, and when Aunt Zhao was talking to the old lady, it was as if she couldn't see her at all.
She couldn't help but tighten her grip on the chair beside her, and her face became tense.
Concubine?
After all, isn’t she just a concubine?
She has no grudges against the eldest princess's family, and she has never thought about trying to reach out to their family. Why do they have the nerve to come here with the status of a concubine and open their mouths like charity?
Xie Songhua had seen the way those aunts set the rules in front of the Qi family, and also knew from the words of Aunt Lan and others how low the status of concubines in this era was.
If she really marries into the eldest princess's palace and becomes a side concubine, she will probably piss herself to death sooner or later.
The old lady glanced at her at this time and coughed lightly.
Xie Songhua immediately understood that the old lady was telling her to be calm and calm.
"I think the eldest princess also loves her children very much. We are all families with children. Naturally, we all want to give our children the best things. Whenever they want anything and can give it, we will definitely find a way to give it to them.
.”
"That's it!" Although Aunt Zhao responded like this, the smile in her eyes was gone.
The old lady immediately continued: "It's just that the eldest princess may not know that our family is also very doting on children. For example, my granddaughter, although she has been living outside since she was a child and has only been back for a short time, but the house
Li didn't wait at all.
On the contrary, because she has endured hardships for many years, I always feel indebted. I only hope that she will be safe and happy in the future. My granddaughter is also well-behaved and pragmatic. She has never had such lofty ideals.
ah……"
Having said this, the old lady smiled softly at Xie Songhua, "I just want to marry a down-to-earth young man and live a peaceful life!"
As if he didn't notice that the smile on Aunt Zhao's face had disappeared, he continued: "We elders, can't we satisfy her even this small wish? I have already agreed in private,
I want to take a good look at her!
How many people are looking longingly at the honor and wealth of the eldest princess's palace! But I, the granddaughter, am not blessed. The little prince was brought up by grandma and taught by the master in the little palace, so he is naturally a sensible child.
, but due to the nature of young people, this may require Grandma to put more effort into persuading the young prince."
The old lady kept saying one sentence after another, leaving no room for the other party to object.
Aunt Zhao's face became more and more ugly. When the old lady finished speaking, a layer of frost had formed between her brows and eyes. She snorted coldly and said: "The Xie family doesn't look down on our princess' concubine."
Got a seat?"
The old lady's expression did not change, and she said calmly: "It's because we four girls can't reach the top."
The expression on Aunt Zhao's face became more and more ugly. She picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and suddenly put it down with a "clang" sound, and her tone became hard, "For this reason, I won't
It's a roundabout way.
You should know best what is going on with your Xie family right now. In the past, it was a great honor for the fourth girl in your family who came from the country to be our concubine.
Now that something like this has happened, even those ordinary people's families may not be willing to have your girl. If the little prince didn't like it so much, and in order not to hurt the face of the two families, I persuaded you in front of the princess and took the initiative.
Take over this matter.
Who would have thought that you know that you can't climb up high, but now that I've handed you this ladder, you still won't climb up. It's really boring to take advantage of it like this."
She never expected that her words would be so explicit, pointing directly at Xie Shuhua's affairs. The old lady was so angry that her face flushed, and before she could speak, she started coughing.
Xie Songhua ignored the so-called rules and etiquette, and quickly stood up and walked over, holding the old lady's arm, "Mother Zhao, I come from the countryside. I have only been in Beijing for just over a year. Grandma is afraid that I don't understand how to be treated."
People make fun of you, so you ask someone to teach you.
But these people who have been invited are naturally not as good as grandma in this area. I would like to ask a question about grandma Zhao, who specially comes to other people's homes and bosses around to get other people's girls to be concubines. Are you the teacher?
Where do the rules come from?”.z.br
Xie Songhua remained silent from beginning to end. Aunt Zhao seemed to have really forgotten about her. Now that she had taken advantage of her, she felt a little dazed for a moment.
But she hasn't finished her words yet, "If you know the rules so well, don't you know that the rules are taught to your children by your elders? If your children don't understand the rules and break other people's rules, the first thing to do is...
Shouldn't he come to the house with his incompetent one and apologize first?
Mammy said that the eldest princess’s mansion looks down upon our girls, so why did you come to visit us like this? It seems that our Xie family has never asked the eldest princess’s mansion for anything, right? Or mama thinks that because you have served the old lady and the empress,
, you can freely bully the imperial wife? Does the Holy One know that you have ruined the reputation of the late Queen Mother?"
"You..." Aunt Zhao had never been so rude before. She pointed at Xie Songhua's nose and scolded, "What are you?!"
Xie Songhua sneered and said, "This is a funny question. You came to my house and made my grandmother so angry? Instead, you asked me what I am? Why? Don't you know whose house you are visiting?"
