Chapter 624: Things are different and people are different
The tone was very calm, as if the crying the maid heard outside just now was an illusion.
How can someone who has been with a girl for many years not know what to ask and what not to ask?
I immediately went to prepare water and get various items in a panic.
After she finished washing her clothes, except that her eyes were still a little red, she was the dignified and delicate girl of the Gao family she usually was, except that her hair was now combed into a woman's bun.
The Fourth Prince's Palace is completely incomparable to other palaces. There are few people coming and going on weekdays, which makes it feel like a deserted place.
When Gao Ying came, the concierge didn't see any cold expression. She apologized very decently. After all, she came here unexpectedly today, and the other party was very polite and respectful.
After receiving the communication, the fourth princess sent her most capable nanny to take her in without any hesitation.
But Gao Ying didn't expect to meet Xie Songhua here.
"I didn't expect Mrs. Chen to come. Aunt Wang happens to be here today. You guys have played together in the past, right? Come and sit together."
Although Fang Jieyou is a princess, she often participates in family interactions on weekdays.
However, the high-ranking families in the capital have always been exclusive, and the Fang family's foundation in the capital is indeed not deep. Usually, it is just because of her status as the royal wife that she is not ignored, but few people really make friends with her.
Therefore, Gao Ying was somewhat surprised to meet Xie Songhua here.
Let's look at Xie Songhua's dress today. It's not very solemn, but more like an ordinary friend walking around.
Looking around, there was no one else participating, so it could be seen that it was a private gathering between the two of them.
Nearly half a year has passed since the last time the two of them met.
At that time, she had a vague suspicion that the person Chen Liu liked came from his hometown before he passed the exam. After all, there was only one Xie Songhua.
But later she checked carefully and found that after Chen Liu returned to Beijing, he did have several contacts with Xie Songhua, but the reason for the contact was because the third master of the Xie family was the examiner.
Privately, the two of them seemed to have little in common.
And when she heard about her marriage to Chen Liu, Xie Songhua's reaction didn't seem like there was any history between the two, so she gave up her suspicion.
Later, she discovered that it made no difference whether she had doubts or not.
Chen Liu doesn't care about her, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether he has such a person in his heart.
But now when I see Xie Songhua again, the two people's states are completely different.
Gao Ying knew that her face should not look good. Because of the incident with the third prince, she had not had a good night's sleep during this period. She had been suffering from insomnia all night. She finally fell asleep, but was always awakened by various nightmares.
.
The table that used to fit around my wrist is now swaying.
Looking at Xie Songhua, on the other hand, she looked very relaxed, with a peaceful look on her face and eyes, and a very good complexion.
People are saying that King Chen is very fond of Princess Chen. At present, it seems that it is probably not a rumor.
Who would have thought that the girl from the Xie family who was left in the countryside because of a miscarriage would actually win the favor of King Chen?
Think about the time when the two met for the first time. At that time, she was like a star in the sky, and even the Xie family treated her with great courtesy.
And now, Xie Songhua has not only become Princess Chen, the first among the married women, but her father has also become the first assistant...
Only then did Gao Ying know what a reversal of the situation meant.
These thoughts just passed through her mind. After all, they were brought up since she was a child. Even if her status is inferior to others now, she has not forgotten the rules and bowed to the two people very appropriately.
Then he followed Fang Jieyou's arrangement and sat down.
"I really didn't know that the princess had a guest today, and I was very grateful for the prince's righteousness, so I ignored the rules and came over to express my thanks to the princess."
Xie Songhua was also very surprised when he saw Gao Ying now.
A woman who was once so radiant has become so haggard.
After hearing about Chen Liu that day, she went to ask Xie Langhua, and Xie Langhua told her that she was also involved with Zhang Shoufu's family at this time, and it was difficult for the Xie family to take action.
Firstly, he was afraid of attracting public attention, and secondly, he was afraid of giving the prince a chance.
Although the prince is now the sole leader of the family, Xie Yuncang is determined to be a pure minister. Even if he is now the chief minister, he still has this intention.
In this case, when facing the East Palace, we need to be more cautious.
But she didn't expect that it was Xiao Yu who finally told her not to be nervous.
She didn't know why, but there was obviously nothing between her and Chen Liu.
Even if it was the original owner, the relationship with Chen Liu was considered innocent, and the layer of window paper had not been pierced. What's more, she later made it clear to Chen Liu.
But when she mentioned Chen Liu in front of Xiao Yu, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
It seemed like he had done something shameful behind his back.
Especially when he looked at me like that.
Maybe he knew something?
Thinking about it again, Xiao Yu is in charge of Jin Yiwei. Let alone what happened in Qingshui Town, I am afraid that the original owner and Jiang Shuhua were wrongly taken into custody.
When I think about it this way, I feel more at ease.
It's just inexplicable that I accepted him as a favor.
Now that the relationship between the two people was confirmed, Xie Songhua didn't want to leave any hidden dangers between them, so he immediately thanked him generously. After all, if it weren't for himself, he wouldn't have had to take action.
When asked how she wanted to repay her, I thought he would just go with the flow. After all, it was obvious that he had been suffering a lot these past few days.
Who would have thought that she would be asked to visit the fourth princess at her door?
Xie Songhua was a little confused, but because he refused to say anything, he could only come here in confusion.
Before he could even say anything, he met Gao Ying.
Fang Jieyou looked at Gao Ying's eyes and knew what she was thinking, so he smiled and said: "I'm not feeling well. There is no female doctor in the hospital, and I'm worried about the doctors outside.
No, shamelessly ask Aunt Wang to come over and take a look at it for me."
Xie Songhua smiled and said: "If I can relieve the princess's worries, it will also be my merit."
The two people were talking and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
The fourth princess then said to Gao Ying: "Now that Mr. Chen has come out, there should be nothing going on in the future. You can live peacefully with Mr. Chen.
It may be a little difficult right now, but everything will eventually pass. Mr. Chen is the number one scholar and a capable person. You two will definitely have a better life in the future."
Fang Jieyou was not very beautiful, but she carried the unique gentleness of Jiangnan women. Every move, word and deed was filled with gentleness and elegance, and she had an affinity that no one else had.
When she said this, Gao Ying almost couldn't hold back tears, but her eye circles were red after all.
"Runyu and I will always remember the great kindness of the Fourth Prince and the Princess." She stood up and bowed again, and then said with a smile, "I brought a few things here, and I don't know if they are in line with the Princess's wishes. I can only
Just a little expression of my feelings."
Fang Jieyou said quickly: "Everyone knows that you have a delicate heart with seven orifices. Is there anything you carefully selected that you don't like? I have to accept it shamelessly."
Gao Ying just came to express his gratitude today. Seeing that Fang Jieyou and Xie Songhua seemed to have something to do, he didn't want to stay too long, so he stood up and left.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Xie Songhua.
"Is there anything else you want to see me for, Princess?"
Xie Songhua left all the waiters behind, leaving only her and Gao Ying in the corridor. "I only found out about Brother Chen later. Logically speaking, we are fellow townspeople and we should go visit him."
But I hope you don’t mind if your identity is inconvenient. I have some things here. If you happen to be here, take them back with you!"
