Xie Songhua did not recognize this person, but instinctively felt uncomfortable.
Although it was her first time to participate in such an event, it was almost an instinctive reaction for women to compete with each other in this gathering.
Let’s take a look at everyone here today. Who is not dressed up and looking gorgeous?
Not to mention that it was now the time when the adult princes in the palace were choosing their concubines. Everyone was obviously a competitor, but she and Xie Shuhua were pushed to the forefront by a rumor.
And she actually came from the countryside. In the eyes of these people, she was clearly a toad that ate swan meat.
It would be an understatement to say that he is the target of public criticism.
This person immediately set the tone for her as a beauty, wouldn't it make people even more jealous?
Sure enough, Xie Songhua immediately noticed all kinds of inquiring eyes from all directions.
Over there, Gao Ying also came out from the crowd. Although there was a warm smile on his face, the scrutiny in his eyes was not concealed. "The fourth girl is here. It's really the first time I've seen her."
It was also the first time for Xie Songhua to see this eldest girl from the Gao family who had always been active in everyone's minds.
As expected, it was only after meeting her that I realized how outstanding this leader in the world of ladies was.
If we just talk about appearance, Gao Ying may not be as good as Xie Songhua or Xie Sihua.
Her facial features are grand, her stature is tall, and there is a bit of arrogance between her eyebrows, but it is not the kind of arrogance in her character, but a natural temperament that she has cultivated in a good environment since she was a child. It makes people look a little alienated.
feeling.
Xie Songhua greeted her with a smile. Before he could speak, he heard her say with a half-smile: "She is indeed a beauty, but she compares to your third sister."
The expression on Xie Shuhua's face couldn't help but stiffen. Although it sounded like Gao Ying had a better relationship with her, so she didn't have any taboos, but in front of so many people, he felt uncomfortable saying that she was not as good as other people.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the three sisters of the Xie family to speak, he added, "I heard from my third cousin that when I saw you in the palace a few years ago, your face was as bad as a pig's head, and it scared the emperor and several of his highnesses.
I thought I would see a pockmarked face!"
This matter has been spread a long time ago, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince would not have said such words after drinking, causing everyone in the capital to watch Xie Songhua's joke.
Speaking of it really whets the appetite. She has not yet appeared in the circle of ladies, and rumors are flying everywhere.
As soon as Gao Ying mentioned this, everyone looked at Xie Songhua with some anticipation, wanting to see if this girl from the Xie family, who was quite legendary among them, would cry on the spot.
However, the person involved in the incident just smiled slightly sheepishly and said, "If I had known that Sister Gao was well prepared, I wouldn't have had to worry about scaring people. I would not dare to go out until my face was healed."
He got through it in one sentence, without explaining why his face was so rotten, nor did he find a word or two to make up for himself, and there wasn't even a trace of embarrassment on his face.
However, Gao Ying was stunned by her attitude, and then she laughed and said, "You are quite calm."
Then someone was asked to lead them to their seats. The girl who was very warm to Xie Songhua just now immediately pulled Xie Songhua with a smile and continued to praise, "I have also heard about it. Now it seems that it is probably exaggerated. The fourth girl's face is simply
It’s more exquisite than the one carved from white jade!”
It was such praise again, Xie Songhua felt a little uncomfortable, so he deliberately sighed heavily, "Sister, please stop praising me. If you praise me again, I will feel proud. This will make my fans laugh away, but it will be in vain."
In the morning, my maid worked hard to apply several layers of it."
After she said this, she was silent for a second or two, and then someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although it is a gathering of girls, everyone has a comparison mentality. Everyone wants to show the best side of themselves. It is too late to cover up the flaws. How can someone say that they are ugly on the face?
Apply several layers of powder!
That girl Zhao also smiled sheepishly, "Why is the fourth girl so funny!"
Xie Songhua said with a serious face: "Aren't I afraid of being embarrassed? My grandmother told me a long time ago that the banquet held by the Gao family sisters is almost the same as the Yaochi Fairy Party. Everyone is like a fairy. I am really nervous about this.
, I have no choice but to assign this arduous task to my maid."
A girl on the side asked in confusion: "A difficult task?"
Xie Songhua pointed at himself from head to toe, "You just have to organize me to meet the standards of Sister Gao's party! My two maids spent the entire night thinking about it!
On the way here just now, I didn't dare to move around. I was afraid that my hair would be damaged, my clothes would be stained, or my pink powder would be rubbed off. If I walked in, the servants of the Gao family would regard me as a stranger.
How can I take care of the Xie family's maid?"
"Hahahahahahaha, what are you talking about?!"
"They're arranging us!"
"You can't be that exaggerated!"
"..."
After all, they are still a group of teenage girls. Even though they are naturally a little hostile because of the matter of choosing a concubine, Xie Songhua's self-deprecation immediately narrowed the distance between them and the others.
Suddenly a little girl with a round face greeted her, "Miss Xie, please sit here!"
As a soul who is almost thirty years old in the future, he has received so many pregnant women with different emotions. Xie Songhua believes that he can still handle this group of young girls who are meeting for the first time.
When faced with things you don't understand, ask for advice humbly. Girls who are well-educated at home cannot be mean and embarrassing when they are guests at other people's homes.
Gao Ying looked at Xie Songhua, who was already chatting with several young girls over there, and then looked at Xie Shuhua with a bit of teasing in her eyes.
"No wonder you are so unsure of yourself. It seems like your sister, who comes from the countryside, is quite capable."
The expression on Xie Shuhua's face was a little stiff. After hearing Gao Ying's words, she turned her thoughts away from Xie Songhua, and then sighed softly, "Who says it's not the case! One mouth is more powerful than anyone else. Nowadays, everyone in our family
Everyone loves her so much.
She wholeheartedly believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the orthodox one, and will definitely be able to rise to great heights in the future with the help of the Crown Prince’s influence. For this reason, my good father..."
As she spoke, she suddenly stopped talking. Gao Ying raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Your father also thinks she's right?"
Xie Shuhua shook her head with a grimace and said: "My father has never wanted to get involved in such a thing, but after all, he is his daughter who has been separated for many years and has been tortured by her, so he has to make plans for her. Until now, I
When I saw my father being distressed about this, I felt very sorry for him when I saw him in such trouble at the palace banquet last time."
Whether it is Xie Shuhua or Xie Songhua, the so-called fate theory about them is just a theory. No one knows whether it is true or not, but the Xie family and Mr. Xie Ge behind them are the forces that need to be fought for.
.
Xie Shuhua must not know this, so Xie Yuncang must not be the crown prince of the team, and must not like Xie Songhua more. Otherwise, what is her value?
Gao Ying still looked at her with a somewhat careless smile on her face, and after a while she said: "Between you and your sister who made the mistake of hugging you, I still prefer you and let your third cousin marry a country woman.
Being a concubine makes me sick even."
Gao Ying fiddled with her little finger nail, frowned in distress, and muttered: "It's well raised, but it broke yesterday while eating chestnuts."
Xie Shuhua said that she just got a pair of finger cots inlaid with South Sea beads. Gao Ying waved her hand, "What else do I need?"
Then he continued: "To be honest, if you become successful in the future, I will also benefit from helping you make connections now."
"Sister Gao..." Xie Shuhua's face showed a bit of girlish shyness.
Gao Ying frowned slightly, "You don't know my temper? Since I said I would help you, I will help you naturally. Don't be coy here."
Xie Shuhua smiled and nodded, "I'm always impressed by Sister Gao's straightforward temperament."
These words pleased Gao Ying, and there was a bit of joy in his eyes. He smiled and said loudly: "It's boring to sit around, how about we join in the fun together, sisters?"
