"My family tried so hard to hide it for you, but you actually told it in front of everyone. Is it because you were afraid that your reputation would not be good enough and that your life was too good?!"
There was no one else in the room. Mother Shen was standing in the corner like an old monk in meditation, and the old lady was sitting on a chair with a rare angry look on her face.
Xie Songhua stood in the hall with his head slightly lowered and said nothing.
"Why? You dared to talk so boastfully in front of so many people you met for the first time, and now you are dumb again!"
Seeing her like this, the old lady was so angry that she said, "I was really blind. I saw that after more than half a year of upbringing, you were walking among the sisters, and you thought you were presentable.
You really digested everything that was taught to you.
You are just pretending to deceive us, and you will reveal your secret as soon as you get outside! Everyone competes in talent, but you don't have it. You can play with the chopsticks. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Just have fun and be done with it.
But how can you just say that you are a disaster star in front of others! Are there any people who desecrate themselves like you? You..."
At this point, the old lady suddenly stopped talking, and a pair of eyes shot towards Xie Songhua's face like lightning, as if she suddenly realized, "That's it."
Xie Songhua raised his eyes slightly and looked at the old woman sitting on top.
"You don't want to marry into the East Palace?"
At this point, there really was nothing to pretend, so she told the truth, "Yes."
"So, you are also interested in the third prince?" The old lady seemed to sneer or laugh sarcastically, "Since you already have an idea in your heart, why did you only answer "I don't know" when I asked you last time.
?”
Xie Songhua felt a little chilly in her heart. She felt a cold air coming up from her back, slowly wrapping her up like a spider web, seeping into the skin texture bit by bit.
She heard her own voice that was a little too calm and clear, "You don't want to marry the prince, but do you want to marry the third prince?"
Madam Xie has supreme authority in the Xie family. Even Xie Yuncang has to be respected in front of her. It has been many years since she was questioned like this in person.
She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
The grandfather and grandson just looked at each other indifferently, and the room fell into a strange silence.
It took a while for Mrs. Xie to come back to her senses. She seemed to have heard some joke, "You don't want to marry the prince or the third prince, so who else do you want to marry? Do you know what it means to marry them? Do you?
I don’t know how many people in this world can’t even look at that position, and how many people are dreaming of marrying into the royal family!”
Mrs. Xie endured her rudeness and immediately realized that this granddaughter was raised by a couple in the countryside. There was a big difference in her vision.
Mrs. Xie's mind was racing. She should arrange for someone to tell her about the affairs of the palace, the royal family, and the noble families. Otherwise, sooner or later, she would lose her face outside.
At this moment, she heard Xie Songhua say again: "So what? Should their desire be my desire?"
Once she could bear it, but she challenged her authority again and again, the old lady became really angry.
Shen's mother in the corner also walked out quietly, with a rigid and emotionless look on her face, "Fourth girl, this is not the way you should talk to the old lady."
Xie Songhua suddenly came back to her senses, but the feeling of injustice in her heart was rushing around in her chest, making it impossible for her to breathe well.
She shouldn't talk like that, she should know.
There is no benefit in conflicting with the old lady like this. In this environment, personal wishes are not important, but interests are more important.
She came back to her senses, finally calmed down completely, and bowed respectfully to the old lady, "Grandma, please don't get angry, it's your granddaughter who can't speak."
Mother Shen retreated to the corner again.
Mrs. Xie didn't say anything, she just picked up the tea and tasted it carefully.
Xie Songhua stood there and waited for a long time, but did not wait for her to speak again, so she had to stand.
It wasn't until the old lady drank about half a cup of tea that she spoke again, "My granddaughter doesn't know that grandma is worried about me and wants to plan a good future for me."
What she said was really against her will. She had never asked for her opinion. How could it be for her? But she could only say this.
The old lady snorted softly, "I was hurting you!"
"Grandma, please don't be angry. Let your granddaughter explain," she had to suppress her discomfort and said in as calm a tone as possible, "My uncle taught 'Qi Da Fei Ou' in class and said 'morality is not worthy of the right'. Granddaughter herself
I think he is a person with poor fortune, and if he occupies a high position, he may cause disaster."
This was originally the best rhetoric, but the old lady sneered and said, "Don't fool me with those high-sounding words."
Xie Songhua was speechless for a moment, but at this moment, the old lady's eyes were locked on her, as if she wanted to see through her.
It seems that it is impossible not to come up with a justifiable reason.
She thought for a while and could only tell the truth, "My granddaughter heard that the Holy Spirit came to have the Holy Eucharist and to rejoice with the people even on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
The old lady took another sip of tea and did not answer.
Xie Songhua had no choice but to continue: "Years ago, I heard that the Holy Emperor asked the Crown Prince to inspect the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and later asked Shilang Liu to arrange a sacrificial ceremony. I also heard that a new beauty in the palace was very favored and offended Concubine Gao, causing trouble.
When she came to the Holy Sage, the Queen said a few words, and the Holy Sage reprimanded her twice, then turned around and rewarded him with many things..."
While Xie Songhua was talking, he looked at the old lady's expression, and sure enough, he saw her hand gradually stopping moving the lid of the tea bowl.
"The prince was reprimanded by the Holy Emperor regarding the price of rice in the capital a few years ago. In the blink of an eye, the third prince made a fuss about meeting with the vassal king..."
The tea bowl in the old lady's hand suddenly became unstable and made a harsh sound in the silence. Xie Songhua stopped talking.
"Where did you learn these things?"
The tea bowl in her hand has been put aside. The old lady is holding the edge of the table, her voice is a little deep, but she is not asking her.
Xie Songhua took a step forward, but also did not answer, but said softly: "Grandma, turn your hands to become clouds, and turn your hands to become rain. Your Majesty is only forty-eight this year, and Yu Ji is only twelve years old."
Having said this, what else does the old lady not understand?
She didn't speak or look at Xie Songhua, but in this silent environment, the sound of breathing suddenly became obvious.
In fact, at the banquet of the Gao family today, we could have noticed something. If the battle for the throne between the two princes has really reached such a heated stage, no matter how good she is, she will not be able to compete with those people.
Get along well.
Even though there were a few people who were indeed hostile to her.
But what's more, there is a kind of dissatisfaction with her, and this dissatisfaction was resolved by her own communication skills after getting along for a short time.
To put it bluntly, the old lady was blinded by the words "Tianfeng fate".
"The second master is here."
Suddenly, Shaoyao's low voice came from outside the house. The grandfather and grandson came to their senses at the same time and saw Xie Yuncang striding in.
He was still wearing the clothes he had worn as a guest, and he obviously came here directly after returning home.
Xie Songhua noticed his father's gaze on him, so he lowered his eyes slightly and saluted Xie Yuncang.
After Xie Yuncang said hello to the old lady, he sat down beside the old lady, and then looked at Xie Songhua, "Did you do it yourself last time?"
