Xie Songhua and Princess Huimin met twice in total, once at a banquet at the eldest princess's house. That time Princess Huimin just let her face slip and didn't bother to play with them, the girls from the aristocratic families in the capital.
The second time was in the suburbs of Beijing. She didn't speak much from the beginning to the end, and she didn't seem to get along with everyone at all. Xie Songhua didn't have a good impression of her.
The reason was Xie Tu's fall.
She could obviously reach out and help her, but instead of doing so, she avoided it as if she were avoiding something dirty, her eyes filled with disgust.
For Xie Songhua, if she had a choice, she would not want to deal with such a person at all.
But right now, she has no choice. Not only she, but also the old lady will not let her refuse.
"When you get married, she will be your sister-in-law. No matter what, you can't be so willful. Since the Holy One has told us so, the Princess Mansion has naturally got the news. They won't make things difficult for you. What's more, you
If I can get the favor of the princess, life will be much easier in the future."
The old lady sent her out of the house with these words. In the end, Mrs. Yu hesitated for a moment and pulled Xie Sihua out, "You sisters go together, you will be more or less taken care of."
There was only one Xie Sihua in the house who could stay with him, the others were either guests or concubines, or else, Xie Qionghua was a self-grooming girl, and it was difficult for her to go out and move around too much.
Fortunately, Xie Sihua's character was quite upright, and he got on the carriage without saying a word, "What a big deal, I don't believe they dare to take action."
What she was worried about was that the little prince had suffered such a big loss from Xie Wenhua. Would he take the opportunity to launch an attack?
Fortunately, Princess Huimin had no intention of creating an opportunity for the young princess to vent her anger.
When the Xie Songhua sisters were brought to Princess Huimin's house, which was so exquisite that it seemed that it was not meant for human beings, she actually had a bunch of other guests here.
Princess Huimin's house is quite large, and it is already midsummer at this time. A family like hers naturally needs a supply of ice cubes, but it is different from other families who provide icebergs and close the doors and windows as much as possible to reduce the loss of icebergs.
Her room is open on all sides, making everything in the room bright and bright, and the scenery on both sides is completely different. On one side, you can see the green leaves in the lake in the distance, but on the other side, you are facing a plant.
A hillside covered with bamboo.
With such a large open space, the room is as cool as autumn. There is even lichen on the ground. It is so soft and silent when you walk on it that you can't see where the icebergs are in the room.
When they saw her coming, no one else seemed to expect it, and couldn't help but look at the Xie sisters.
Gao Ying stood next to Princess Huimin and just sneered slightly before continuing to look at the gems on the velvet cloth on the table.
Huimin is wearing homely clothes. The so-called homely clothes mean that they are not that complicated, but the material is the most expensive flower. It has a texture that seems to be non-existent, and is as light as yarn. On her feet is a pair of soft satin shoes, but on the toe of the shoe.
On each of them fell a purple southern pearl the size of a thumb.
At this moment, she was leaning on the couch beside her, watching several young girls discussing the gems on the table, gently shaking a round fan in her hand, with a light expression on her face, and a hint of something.
The smile that seemed like nothing seemed a bit bored.
She was the only one who dared to dress like this when receiving guests at home, as if she didn't take the guests seriously at all, but no one would blame her for being rude.
And because of her unworldly appearance, even if she looks so unruly, she makes people feel like a fairy who has fallen into the world, and she has an extra bit of fairy spirit.
When she heard the announcement, she just turned her face sideways, and then looked Xie Songhua up and down. The smile on her face became more interested, "You're here, come in quickly! Sister-in-law."
A noble girl on the other end smiled and asked: "The princess is too narrow-minded, sister-in-law, just be sister-in-law! You should also call me sister-in-law."
Princess Huimin glanced faintly at Xie Songhua's body, without even looking at the girl who was speaking. She just casually waved to the little maids to arrange their seats. She still looked so casual, "Don't scream, stay behind."
There is always a decent sister-in-law who wants to come through."
Xie Songhua and Xie Sihua both froze suddenly, and Xie Sihua immediately frowned.
Xie Songhua quickly reached out and patted Xie Sihua quietly to calm her down.
She actually knew that if she came today, she might be humiliated, but she didn't expect that Princess Huimin would be so merciless when she came in.
"Hey, you won't be angry if I say this, right?" Seemingly seeing that Xie Songhua didn't speak, Princess Huimin turned to her again, but there was no apology in her eyes. She stared at her for a few times and then moved.
He waved, "Sit over here. We haven't been able to have a good chat in the past. Today, my aunt sent me this box of gems. I called my sisters over to appreciate them. You sisters, please come with me!"
"The princess is too polite. I don't have much appreciation for jewelry. I'm afraid I will let down the princess's kindness." Xie Songhua and Xie Sihua sat down in a polite manner.
Since Princess Huimin did not introduce anyone else, they did not need to greet each other.
Princess Huimin still looked so lazy, and even just moved slightly in the chair, seeming to have changed into a more comfortable position.
"Miss Xie is not lying," Gao Ying answered at this moment. She glanced at Xie Songhua with disdain, then turned to Princess Huimin and said, "Huimin, you should have heard that the fourth girl is
Coming from the countryside, on the surface, it seems that he has learned the ways of people like us, but if we really want to study the things inside, wouldn't it be difficult? I'm afraid that the types of gems on our table are all different.
Can't tell the difference."
The disdain in these words was not concealed at all, causing others to whisper and laugh.
Xie Songhua wanted to refute a word or two, but after thinking about it, he endured it.
After hearing this, Huimin looked Xie Songhua up and down with her beautiful eyes. There was no ridicule in her eyes, but there was a bit of surprise in them, as if this was such a strange thing.
She is a proud daughter of heaven who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. How does she know the worldly world underneath?
But her reaction made everyone else snicker.
Xie Sihua was so angry that he gritted his teeth and felt extremely humiliated. Xie Songhua, who was looking aside, looked as usual.
Before going out, I knew that nothing good would happen if I came here today, so where did I go?
What's more, with this so-called humiliation method, the stronger the reaction of the person being targeted, the more interesting it will be for the person who used it.
Now they can bring up this incident to talk about it, and they can also use other things to ridicule them. It is really tiring to refute them one by one.
It's better to just be quiet, lie down and let them laugh.
So when faced with Gao Ying's words, she nodded in agreement very seriously, "Miss Gao is right."
This reaction surprised everyone, but they quickly started a new topic.
Ask: "Miss Xie, what do you think of this tea?"
Answer: "It tastes good."
Ask: "What's a good idea?"
Answer: "The tea is very fragrant and the water is very good."
Question: "Why does Miss Xie not seem to like chatting with us?"
Answer: "Isn't this chatting?"
Question: "It is said outside that Miss Xie is the illegitimate daughter of Mr. Xie Ge. Is this true?"...
Answer: "Outside? Who is outside? Which outside?"
These little girls who were deliberately making things difficult were unconvinced by such a treacherous approach.
Gao Ying simply walked over and said, "Stop pretending. During this period, there are rumors about your family and you everywhere in Beijing. How dare you say you don't know?"
She looked at Xie Songhua with a smile that clearly had no good intentions, but Xie Songhua looked at her sincerely, "I know that Sister Gao has always cared about me the most. I really don't know this news. Sister Gao, what did you hear? Where is it?"
Did you hear that?”
How can Gao Ying answer this? Does she want to be the talkative woman in public and spread those messy rumors about the Xie family at this time?
Don't talk about Xie Songhua. As soon as you hear those words, you will know that someone else is throwing dirty water.
She knew it was false in her head, so how could she say it out loud?
So she changed her tune, "That's what I said, those are all made up by outsiders, but I know one thing clearly. I heard that Chen Zhuangyuan went to your house to propose marriage. You are not childhood sweethearts.
