The blood on Zhao Yuechan's face faded, and the panic in her eyes could not be concealed. She felt as if her tongue had been tied in a knot, it was sore and numb, and she could not open her mouth at all.
Fortunately, the Crown Princess just sneered and had no intention of asking her to answer.
What also made her feel a little relieved was that her eldest sister finally gave her face and personally sent her back to Chuxiu Palace.
Zhao Yuechan was extremely flustered. When she arrived at the palace gate, she still wanted to say a few words to defend herself, "Elder sister..."
But the other party didn't give her a chance. He only listened to her words and raised his hand to interrupt her. "After today, you will be a member of the East Palace. Don't use your mother's childhood name anymore. You can
You can call me sister like everyone else, and you can also call me Crown Princess. In the palace, the rules are the rules."
Until the Crown Princess walked away, Zhao Yuechan remained stunned in place, unable to move.
She was panicked and frightened, and she felt that her whole body was cold. The warm sun in the sky shone on her body, but she could not feel any warmth at all.
The fear slowly sank in her heart as time went by, and then what emerged was an unspeakable anger.
She thought of the proud expressions on her grandparents' faces when they talked about the Crown Princess, of her aunt's arrogance in the house, and of the envy on her parents' faces.
Because of that important status, her cousin became a treasure in the eyes of the whole family, as if her current life did not come from the efforts of her father and brothers, but all depended on her being a princess.
Obviously before she got married, they were all the same in the palace. Isn't it because she is a few years older than him and the Crown Prince is still young, so she is more suitable to marry him?!
Sometimes when she thinks about this, she will feel angry and unconvinced, wondering why that person is not her, why Zhao Mingxi can do it but she can't.
Therefore, whenever she saw the prince appearing in the Zhao family, everyone was terrified, and even Zhao Mingxi became a star among the stars, she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obviously very easy-going in the Zhao family, but everyone in the Zhao family has to put on such a serious attitude, and Zhao Mingxi also pretends to be the Crown Princess.
Therefore, she sometimes wondered what it would be like if she were the Crown Princess. Especially when the Crown Prince spoke to her in a gentle voice, this thought grew more and more crazily.
In fact, the purse was just a temporary passion. After giving it away, she regretted it, like a thief who stole something and was afraid of being discovered.
Fortunately, she never saw the prince again, so she gradually felt relieved, thinking that this matter was over. Who would have thought that Zhao Mingxi had already known about it.
It wasn't until someone called her name that Zhao Yuechan came out of her thoughts. When she turned around, she found that it was Xie Shuhua and Gao Ying.
Zhao Yuechan felt angry when she thought about how much she had been scolded just now because of Xie Shuhua's suggestion.
But it was also revealed that she had just been unhappy with the Crown Princess, so she had to suppress all her emotions again and only acted arrogantly.
Xie Shuhua had not heard any movement so far, and she was already feeling a little anxious. Now she saw that Zhao Yuechan was unwilling to pay attention to her, so she knew that the matter was probably not done, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy again.
Although Xie Songhua didn't know Zhao Yuechan's arrangements today, he could glean a hint of the inside story from the Crown Princess's attitude, but since he failed to succeed, he naturally didn't mention it.
The Xie family learned the news last night that Xie Songhua did not need to run for election. For the Xie family, this is naturally a good thing.
Even Xie Yuncang waited at the palace gate to take her home. This was a treatment that Xie Songhua had never received since she returned to the Xie family.
The reaction from everyone in the Xie family was even more lively than that of other families. Mrs. Xie even said on the spot, "As the weather gets warmer, I usually take my children out for a walk more often. They have also reached the age when they should get engaged. In the past two days,
Isn’t the eldest lady of Uncle Zhongqin’s house here? Please ask more questions.”
Everyone else looked at Xie Songhua and smiled. This was not making fun of her, but was actually happy for her.
In any case, it is a good thing that a young girl does not have to marry an old man.
Mrs. Qi is still recuperating in the Summer Palace and has not been allowed to go out. However, even if she knew that Xie Songhua was back, she would not be very happy. After all, the person who came back was not her Xie Shuhua.
In the view of the Xie family, it is a great thing that Xie Songhua can come back. Xie Shuhua is basically a sure choice.
Therefore, in the face of the joy of Xie Songhua's return, the Xie family had to start thinking about the problems after Xie Shuhua was selected.
What is certain is that no one in the Xie family hopes that Xie Shuhua will be selected. For the old lady and Xie Yuncang, this is just a helpless move not to offend the Holy One.
And the few things she had done before, especially the incident of rushing to the banquet stage to smash things, fully exposed the selfishness and viciousness in her temperament.
If such a daughter is sent to the palace, I really don’t know what trouble will be caused.
After everyone had retreated, Xie Yuncang discussed with the old lady to discuss the matter with Qi.
After all, it seems that the only person in this mansion that Xie Shuhua really cares about is the Qi family.
Just at this time, the outer court hurriedly came to report that the third girl was back.
The Xie family's firecrackers were all ready, and they were just waiting to set them off as soon as she got home. Then someone came to report that the third girl had failed.
This result not only surprised Xie Yuncang and others, but even Xie Songhua did not expect it.
Xie Wenyuan was sitting at the banquet table with Xie Songhua, "Whether she is elected or not has nothing to do with you. Anyway, people in the house now know what kind of virtue she is. She should not even think about the royal family. She is like this now
State, don't talk about your father and your grandmother, don't ask her to get married.
Even the Third Prince and the Crown Prince themselves probably don’t dare to have any thoughts about your sisters anymore.”
Xie Wenyuan was right. On the day Xie Shuhua came back, she was very proud and looked at everyone with their chins in the sky, including Mrs. Xie and Xie Yuncang.
It's just that the head of the Xie family didn't take her seriously and just said, "I'll go see your mother when I get back and give her a few days of rest."
It's nothing like the way Xie Songhua came back, surrounded by people and doting on him.
Xie Shuhua was very upset for a while, but after meeting with the Qi family, both mother and daughter had a sense of survival after a disaster, so they put such dissatisfaction behind them.
In Xie Shuhua's view, the fact that the Holy One did not choose her meant that the Holy One had already made arrangements for her. Maybe it was the third prince who said something in front of the Holy One.
Therefore, she did not leave Yilan Garden. She only said that she was not feeling well after being in the palace for two days and wanted to have a good rest.
In fact, she had already arranged for people to go outside to inquire about the final situation of the draft. At that time, several groups of people went in. Everyone only knew the selection status of the people in their own group and knew nothing about the others.
So at this moment, the big families in the capital were asking around, but what surprised everyone was that Emperor Yufeng conducted the draft with such great fanfare, and in the end, only four were selected to enter the palace.
One was the fourth girl from the now somewhat declining Rongguo Palace, the cousin of the late Concubine Jing, and the granddaughter of an old master. When the news of the last one being selected came through, Xie Songhua was really surprised.
, Xue Suqiao was actually selected.
Thinking of her lively and outgoing personality being sent to that ancient imperial city, Xie Songhua felt depressed for no reason.
At the same time, the candidates for the concubines of several adult princes were also decided.
