She has been with Jiang Shuhua since she was a child, and Jiang Shuhua has always been the main person she wants to please.
Her understanding of Jiang Shuhua is probably that few people in the world can surpass her.
So just looking at her expression, Xie Li began to feel guilty.
But she couldn't understand what could happen that would make Jiang Shuhua look like this in front of her right now.
"Aunt Huang has been accompanying dad for so many years, and she has worked hard even if she has no credit. What's more, her secretly learned foxy skills are also quite popular with dad. Now you should leave the palace quickly and ask her to help you beg."
Please beg for mercy, and maybe there is still a way to survive."
She slowly raised her hand to hold the slightly crooked hairpin on her head as she spoke, smiling carelessly, "You and I are sisters after all. In the past ten years or so, you mother and daughter were considered submissive to me. I am also considered to be so.
It’s all about the love between us, that’s why I remind you.”
Xie Li felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She wanted to say something sarcastic.
But facing Jiang Shuhua at this time, she couldn't say a word, and the unknown fear enveloped her tightly.
Seeing Jiang Shuhua turn around and enter the room, she quickly returned to the west wing and called over the first-class palace maid who had conquered during this period.
But even the maids in the East Palace knew nothing about what was happening outside.
In fact, this is normal. Unless there are connections from outside, or they already have certain abilities, these maids who enter the palace will be blind to news from the outside until they are old and let out.
But now the palace maid's incomprehensible questions made Xie Li subconsciously suspect that something must have happened.
After walking back and forth in the room several times, Xie Li still couldn't help it. She didn't even bother to get her hair cut and dress up again, and went to find Zhao Yuechan out of breath.
Who knew that Zhao Yuechan, who had always had a harmonious relationship with her sisters, would actually disappear behind closed doors.
At first she thought the palace maid was deliberately making things difficult, but after calling out several times outside, she saw a palace maid pouring a bucket of water out.
Seeing her eyes widening with anger, the palace maid apologized very insincerely, "I'm really sorry, I didn't see the nobles outside, but the nobles should know that this is the palace. Not to mention the nobles, even the slaves and maids.
Everyone knows the rules are not to make any noise.
When the servants heard this just now, they thought it was some thief who came in from outside. It would be better for the noble man not to act in such a way that degrades one's status in the future."
After saying that, without waiting for Xie Li to reply, she turned around and went back to the yard, slamming the door shut with a bang.
Xie Li's heart was poured out by the bucket of water.
What kind of person Zhao Yuechan is, no matter how stupid Xie Li is, he can know a thing or two after spending a few days with her.
This man was accustomed to playing by the wind and watching what was served. He originally thought that he could be used by the prince, and he only made friends with him because he relied on the Xie family and could suppress Jiang Shuhua.
His attitude is suddenly so bad right now...
Thinking of Jiang Shuhua's words just now, Xie Li immediately turned around and went to the princess's palace.
Since entering the East Palace, Xie Li has been everywhere, except for the Crown Princess, she has hardly set foot there.
When she saw the Crown Princess, she felt like she had seen the Qi family with her biological mother since she was a child.
This feeling made her uneasy and frightened, so the prince said that she did not need to pay her respects to the prince for the time being, and she really never came.
But now she is really scared, the prince obviously doesn't want to see her, and the only one she can go to in this palace is Zhao Mingxi.
When he heard the call from the Crown Princess, Xie Li became a little excited.
As soon as I walked in, my eyes were red.
Zhao Mingxi was arranging the autumn clothes of the harem ladies and eunuchs. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but asked with a puzzled smile: "What's wrong with the Xie family sister? But who bullied you?"
Xie Li was a little confused by the Crown Princess's question, and then she realized that until now, she actually didn't know what had happened, nor what exactly was the crisis she was facing at this time.
Facing Zhao Mingxi's probing eyes, Xie Li's panic finally dissipated. She calmed down and bowed to Zhao Mingxi in a decent manner, "Mother, I... I just want to ask, didn't His Highness say that before?
Are you going to go to my parents' house to discuss my matter with my father? Why... until today, there is still no news?"
When she asked, a palace maid who was waiting next to her couldn't help but chuckle.
Although she was very restrained, Xie Li still heard it. As soon as she looked over, she saw a look of ridicule on the palace maid's face that she had no time to hide.
Although Zhao Mingxi immediately glanced at the palace maid, Xie Li still felt very embarrassed.
Even in the palace, she talked about her marriage so loudly in public, and she said it in such a tone under such circumstances, which made her seem very anxious.
Such a thing is considered a loss of status for a noble lady.
But now that the matter has come to this, what else can she do?
At this point, she and Jiang Shuhua were already incompatible with each other, and they made a desperate bet on their own surname and the prince's purpose.
But after the bet was placed, the outcome was no longer in her own hands, and she had no other choice.
Zhao Mingxi didn't see anything strange at all, and just smiled and said: "Nowadays, the affairs of the court are busy, and His Highness is worried every day. He is probably tied up by government affairs at the moment. Sister Xie, don't worry.
After His Highness has been busy for a while, he should put this matter on the agenda. You can wait patiently for two more days. Jiang Liangdi has been in the palace for a long time. She has always been quite popular with His Highness. The two of you used to be
If you feel bored after growing up together, you might as well chat together more.
From now on, we can serve His Highness together. The time in the palace always seems to be extra long compared to outside. It is normal for the Xie family sisters not to get used to it."
Even though her tone was calm, the smile on her face was a bit friendly.
But it was obvious that this Tai Chi technique could not make Xie Li feel any sense of security.
She wanted to say something else, but she couldn't find a suitable entry point, so she could only bow and leave.
But when she walked out of the Crown Princess's courtyard, she didn't know where to go.
She didn't want to go back to Jiang Shuhua's yard. Judging from the current situation, the prince clearly didn't want to see her.
As a result, all she could feel in Jiang Shuhua's yard was the ridicule from Jiang Shuhua.
The palace maid followed her, knowing that she was in a bad mood and did not dare to say a word, but stayed with her silently.
"Where is that?"
Xie Li suddenly raised his hand and pointed. From here, only a corner of the eaves could be seen.
"It used to be the residence of the Imperial Preceptor, but now that the Imperial Preceptor has moved outside the palace, no one lives there anymore."
Hearing the palace maid's answer, Xie Li felt something in her heart.
All the changes in the Xie family seem to have started with this national master.
If it weren't for his so-called orders, Jiang Shuhua might not have become the number one sister in the Xie family.
If it hadn't been for his orders, Xie Songhua might not have been found back.
Not to mention the subsequent fight between the two women caused by Tianfeng's destiny.
It's just that all this fighting seems to have nothing to do with her, a concubine.
But, she is also Xie Yuncang's daughter, isn't she?
Thinking of this, Xie Li's footsteps moved in that direction involuntarily.
Unexpectedly, as she got closer, she discovered an ear gate. The palace maid explained: "This ear gate leads directly to the six east and west palaces. In the past, the princess used to go from here to pay her respects to the queen every day."
Can it connect the six palaces of east and west?
Doesn't that mean that this place can lead to the outside?
