"Xuan, Xie Youwei, the daughter of the escort general, Jiang Zhenzhen, the daughter of Jiang Baihu..."
After hearing his name, Xie Youwei lowered his head and followed the father-in-law who guided the way to the main hall.
As he walked, Xie Youwei quietly glanced at the two people sitting in the seat with his peripheral vision.
Xie Youwei saw the bright yellow figure in the center of the hall, as well as the daze and joy on his face.
When she heard the eunuch calling her name, Xie Youwei took a small step forward and leaned over slightly.
"My maid, Xie Youwei."
"Oh? General Xie's daughter? Raise your head and show me."
A slightly deep voice in the center of the hall instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Including the other beautiful ladies in the same group as Xie Youwei, they couldn't help but raise their eyes slightly and quietly look at the situation here.
Xie Youwei raised her head as instructed.
This angle allows the superiors to clearly see Xie Youwei's face. Similarly, Xie Youwei can also clearly see the superiors.
Xie Youwei glanced lightly, then lowered his eyelashes. The long and thick eyelashes blocked the color in his eyes, making Xie Youwei appear to be quiet and well-behaved as he stood there.
Although he tried his best to suppress it, the emperor on the throne still showed some joy.
These hints of joy were all seen by the two women beside him.
Xie Youwei felt a sharp look sweep over her body, which made Xie Youwei want to frown, but considering the occasion, Xie Youwei still suppressed the discomfort in her heart.
The woman in the main hall stood there with a slight smile on her face and a dignified demeanor. No matter how you look at it, she is a young lady from a well-known family who knows etiquette and abides by the law.
If I had to pick one wrong one.
That was the look on this woman's face that was almost sick.
Everyone could clearly see that the woman in the hall had probably wiped something on her face, but even that could not hide the woman's pale face.
Before Emperor Chu Yan spoke, the person sitting on the other side was the first to speak.
"General Xie's eldest daughter? How come I've never seen her before?"
The capital is prosperous, and there are always many gatherings between aristocratic families, especially the ladies of these aristocratic families.
But I have never heard the name Xie Youwei.
Xie Youwei turned towards the source of the sound and raised his eyes to see the dignified woman sitting in the chair.
"As for the Empress, I grew up in Suzhou and just returned to Beijing recently. It's natural that I don't recognize her."
"Have you grown up in Suzhou since childhood?" The Queen Mother seemed to be interested. She opened her half-closed eyes, revealing her sharp eyes, "I remember that Mrs. Xie has always been very kind to another young lady in the house.
You love her very much, right? Why are you, the eldest daughter, raised in Suzhou?"
Not only his eyes were sharp, but the words he asked were also very sharp.
However, facing such a question that clearly put her in an awkward position, Xie Youwei's face did not reveal any of the ugly emotions that others imagined.
Still the pair of thin and curved eyebrows, and the gentle and virtuous looking eyes.
"My daughter has been in poor health since she was a child, and her parents had no choice but to send her to her maternal grandfather's house in Suzhou to be raised."
Hearing these words, the Queen Mother closed her eyes again and became silent.
The only sound left in the main hall was the sound of the Buddhist beads in the Queen Mother's hands colliding with the Mosuo.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward for a while.
However, Xie Youwei, who was in the center of the storm, seemed not to understand his situation at all, and his face still had a faint expression.
The emperor, who was sitting on the main seat, clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves and fists, and finally let go quietly.
The bright yellow sleeves waved in the air.
Xie Youwei, who had always had no expression on his face, felt a little joy flash in his eyes at this moment.
As soon as she walked out of the main hall, Xie Youwei was blocked.
"Xie Youwei, it's such a pity that with such a good identity and appearance, I still can't be valued by His Majesty."
The visitor's tone seemed a bit regretful, but more of it was sarcastic.
Xie Youwei raised his head and met a pair of gloating eyes.
After a while, just when the other person thought Xie Youwei was about to curse because of the long silence, he suddenly saw the woman in front of him raise an eyebrow.
Then, Xie Youwei's red lips slightly opened.
"I'm sorry, you are..."
As soon as these words came out, the originally impressive young lady standing opposite Xie Youwei suddenly lost half of her arrogance.
The young lady hesitated for a long time, but couldn't hold anything in. Finally, she blushed and stamped her feet.
"Xie Youwei, don't bully others too much! I, Li Qingqing, was also elected to the palace today at a glance with Miss Xia. But when you see me, you might have to kneel down and call me empress!"
Afterwards, Li Qingqing turned around angrily and left the place.
Xie Youwei stood there and touched his neck, feeling that what the young lady named Li Qingqing said was childish.
How should I put it? It was as if there was a primary school student standing opposite her pointing at her and scolding her - she couldn't bring up any interest in talking to her.
However, when Li Qingqing reported her name like this, Xie Youwei finally understood what happened just now.
If she is the number one vicious female supporting character in the original book, then Li Qingqing can probably only be regarded as cannon fodder whose name rarely appears.
The reason why she can remember this person is simply because all the plots of this cannon fodder in the original work are related to her.
The daughter of a small aristocratic family was selected to enter the palace. In order to curry favor with Xia Ruochun, she constantly framed him and was eventually killed by the blind emperor Chu Yan.
The reason for targeting her is also very simple, because Xia Ruochun doesn't like her.
Having a common enemy is often an extremely easy thing to bring two people closer together.
Xie Youwei collected his thoughts, put down the hand on his neck, raised his head, and happened to bump into Xia Ruochun standing opposite him.
But what was different from the past was that this time Xia Ruochun no longer had the expression of a debt collector. Instead, he frowned and stared at her, with a look of sadness between his eyebrows.
Seeing Xia Ruochun's expression, Xie Youwei knew that Xia Ruochun had understood what she had said before.
Xie Youwei smiled and walked to Xia Ruochun's side, her voice as gentle as before.
"Congratulations to Miss Xia for being selected. I hope Miss Xia will like life in the palace in the future."
After saying that, just like before, Xie Youwei simply left, leaving only Xia Ruochun standing there alone.
When Xie Youwei walked out, the first thing she saw was Xicui looking around at the door.
The corners of her lips were raised, and Xie Youwei showed a natural smile.
"It's been a long time coming."
"Miss!" Xicui's eyes instantly brightened when she saw her young lady, and she hurried forward to greet her, lowering her voice a bit, "How is the situation?"
Looking into Xicui's eyes, Xie You lowered her eyelashes slightly, showing a bit of frustration.
This expression immediately caused Xicui's expression to change, and she finally opened her mouth stumblingly.
"Miss, don't be too sad. With the power of our Xie family, we won't go to the palace..."
Before she finished speaking, Xicui met Xie Youwei's narrow eyes again.
Xicui's apricot eyes widened, and her originally low voice rose again.
"Miss! You lied to me!"
Xie You couldn't stop smiling, and even the velvet flowers on her temples trembled along with it.
Patting Xicui's shoulder, Xie You smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have made so many preparations. When did your lady make a miscalculation?"
In fact, her body and bones had been healed a long time ago. She stayed in Suzhou just because her renter couldn't bear to let her go.
Just a weak body can be a good excuse for rejection.
The choice of her to enter the palace was something that neither the Queen Mother nor the Empress wanted to happen. This chapter has been completed!
