"I guess I just didn't have the chance before." Xie Songhua shook his head lightly, unwilling to say a word to her.
Xiao Yu did not stop, he led Xie Songhua all the way to the backyard, "According to the news from the East Palace, Xie Li seems to want the prince to come forward and negotiate an agreement with her father-in-law on her behalf."
After just a brief thought, Xie Songhua understood the key to this, "Are you trying to overpower Jiang Shuhua just after arriving at the East Palace?"
"Probably because I have been suppressed by Jiang Shuhua since I was a child, so I feel somewhat unwilling to do so at this time."
"I have never been able to talk too much about the things that happened when I was a child at Xie's house, but Xie Li's behavior now makes me feel that there are two kindnesses repaid with hatred. Of course, this is from her perspective."
Thinking of everything that happened after arriving at the Xie family, and then thinking of what Xie Li did, Xie Songhua couldn't help but smile, "I'm afraid Jiang Shuhua didn't expect that one day this sister who has been used by her would turn around and bite her.
One bite?"
As Xie Songhua said, Jiang Shuhua was more shocked than anyone else.
The prince went to the western suburbs and brought back a girl. The news spread as soon as the prince entered the palace.
This somewhat gave her a sense of crisis. She was the most favored in the entire East Palace, but she was also the one with the most unstable foundation.
To put it bluntly, the prince's favor for her now is only due to her personal efforts.
Without family background to support her, even if she gives birth to a daughter, she is still not reliable.
If she had been given two more years to wait until the prince ascended the throne and she was made a concubine, then everything would probably be different.
Now that a newcomer has arrived so soon, Jiang Shuhua feels really uneasy.
But the more this happens, the less she can panic, otherwise it will be a joke if people see through it.
So she waited until the Crown Princess asked her to come with her to pick up the Prince, and then she followed the others as if nothing was wrong.
But no matter how decent the smile was on his face, it eventually shattered into pieces inch by inch when he saw Xie Li's face.
She saw the lively smile in Zhao Yuechan's eyes, but she couldn't confront her like she usually did.
It wasn't until the prince spoke that he and Xie Li were in an accident. Even though he said that, there was clearly a smile on his face.
Now that they are married and he is the prince, there is nothing wrong with leaving him in the palace. He just needs to discuss it with the Xie family.
The result of this negotiation has not come out, and Xie Li has no name or status. Naturally, it is difficult to give her a separate courtyard.
Zhao Mingxi still looked dignified and magnanimous, and said quickly: "Sister Li'er and Jiang Liangdi are biological sisters. Isn't the west wing of Jiang Liangdi's yard still vacant? This is not good. If someone from the Xie family comes later, the two sisters will
It’s better to say something.”
The prince directly approved the proposal without asking Jiang Shuhua's wishes, and Xie Li moved into Jiang Shuhua's courtyard.
After everyone in the room was cleared, Xie Li smiled and said, "Sister..."
He just said a word and was interrupted by a slap from Jiang Shuhua.
Xie Li never expected that in this situation, Jiang Shuhua would dare to slap herself like this.
"What? You think I can't beat you now that you've climbed into the prince's bed?" Jiang Shuhua saw through the unwillingness and anger on her face at a glance, "I tell you Xie Li, your mother always brings my mother foot-washing water.
Maid, do you think that thanking you makes you noble?
The daughter of a mean maid will always be a mean maid. Even if you crawl into the prince's bed now, you are still a person who cannot stand on the stage. What? Coming out of the nunnery is very honorable, right? Running in front of me to show off your power, right?"
Jiang Shuhua wished she could use the filthiest words in the world to curse the concubine in front of her, and the expression on her face was extremely ferocious.
Xie Li recovered from the initial shock.
The hot pain on her cheek reminded her of the shame just now, but she smiled instead, "I am a cheap maid, so who do you think it is? Even if my mother was born as a maid in front of my wife, she was raised by a wealthy family since she was a child.
Maid, where's your mother? Where's your father? You're just digging around in the dirt and don't recognize a country bumpkin, so what? You can climb into the prince's bed, but I can't? My surname is Xie after all, what about you?"
Jiang Shuhua never expected that Xie Li, who had always been afraid to speak out in front of her, dared to speak so harshly today. She even forgot to retort immediately, but just stared at the person in front of her.
Xie Li finally experienced the pleasure of defeating the person who had been weighing on her.
She slowly sat down on a chair nearby, picked up the fruit in the fruit basket next to her and took a bite. "I advise you to quickly ask the palace maid to get me some ice cubes to apply on my face later.
His Highness is coming to see me. What do you think he will think when he sees the finger marks on my face?
Is it because you are so unaccustomed to me coming to my sister's place? Did your face get smashed as soon as you came?"
These words are clearly a threat.
Jiang Shuhua was so angry at her words that she wished she could tear the face in front of her into pieces, but she could only hold it back.
Xie Li is right. She has always had a gentle and gentle impression in the prince's mind. If the prince sees Xie Li's face, he will inevitably become suspicious. In front of the prince, she cannot have a negative image at all!
Gritting her teeth, she finally called Xizhu in and told her to get the ice and not let others see it.
Unexpectedly, after the ice was brought over, Xie Li refused to apply it again, "Sister, this is too perfunctory. You beat my face like this, do you think I should apply it myself?"
Jiang Shuhua clenched her fists and stared at her for a while, then said: "Xizhu, please apply it on Miss Xie's face."
Xie Li didn't buy it, "Sister, it was you who slapped me in the face. Don't you regret that slap just now? If you don't regret it, there is nothing good to do. You might as well ask His Highness to come over and take a look.
Look, let me comment on it for you.
If you know you regret it, shouldn't you be sincere? We are sisters. When you were sick in the past, I took good care of you."
Jiang Shuhua simply thought that she had heard wrong. Xie Li actually meant that she wanted to serve him personally?!
Facing her shocked eyes, Xie Li was very calm and seemed to think there was nothing wrong with her request.
"What? It seems that my sister is really unwilling!"
Xizhu hurriedly said: "Four girls, let me help you apply it for me! Our Liangdi has never done such a thing since she was a child. I'm afraid it won't be done well. My servant..."
"Crack!"
A crisp sound interrupted Xizhu's words and made the whole room quiet.
Xizhu was stunned by the slap, and Jiang Shuhua pulled Xizhu away in disbelief, "What are you doing?!"
"Sister, don't be angry. I've been in a bad temper recently because of the bad things happening in the palace, so I've been quick to take action. But don't blame me, sister. This bastard really doesn't understand the rules. This is in the palace, how can I do that?
Can she tolerate her arrogance? When our masters are talking to each other, they interrupt so rashly.
I know that my sister has always been thin-skinned and always likes to show a magnanimous look. You always used to leave this kind of evil to me, so why don’t I just teach my sister a lesson now so as not to have to do it again in the future?
My sister caused trouble."
Jiang Shuhua was so angry that her nostrils were filled with smoke. She pointed at Xie Li and said, "Do you really think that now that you have used despicable means to enter the East Palace, you can do whatever you want in front of me? I'm suing..."
"Oops!" Xie Li interrupted her again, "Why is sister getting more and more verbose now? Is such a trivial matter worth arguing about? Let's get down to business? Do you want to apply it on my face? If not,
