9. Flowering period (catching insects)
There is a quota for ice cubes every day, and if it is the last bowl, it will only be eaten tomorrow, which makes Xia Li, who is holding the whole family, feel very good.
Zhou, who was watching from the side, frowned, got up and took Xia Li's hand and patted it, "Okay, okay, mother's good daughter, that girl has a special identity after all, let's let it go." β
"She? Isn't it just a dying prince......" Xia Li was halfway through his words, and he was vigilantly covered by Zhou's mouth.
"You all go down for me." Zhou instructed the maid in the room, and then let go of her hand, "You can't talk nonsense, in case it gets out......"
Xia Li snorted coldly, "This room is full of my people, whoever dares to talk nonsense will sell her to the kiln." β
Zhou pulled Xia Li to sit opposite her, with a sarcastic smile on her face, "What can she be, if she marries the third prince, we still have to worry about it, but the fifth prince ......" disdain overflowing, "My daughter will definitely marry better than her in the future, and her status is more noble than her." β
Xia Li raised her head proudly, her coquettish face with a natural pride, "Do you need to say this?" β
"So......" Zhou's words changed sharply, and he carefully told Xia Li: "Let's not conflict with her now, isn't it just a bowl of shaved ice?" When you can't eat it. We are now going to offer to her, let her, so that she can lead you into a higher circle. β
"But......" Hearing this, Xia Li was a little apprehensive, "She should already know about our previous frame-up before, will this still help me?" β
"What's this, the old man has already spoken yesterday, and her soft bones are still left to us to rub." Zhou said as a matter of course.
Xia Li thought of Xia Yao's soft temper before, even if it seemed to have changed now, but what was in her bones, how could she say that it would change. The heart she had lifted slowly let go.
Two more days passed for Xia Yao's leisurely days, and she received an invitation from the crown princess. Invite her to enjoy peonies.
Xia Yao, "............" is so tired that she doesn't want to say anything anymore.
The peony that was supposed to bloom in April on the earth was still there in October in this world? Can this unreliable friend take a good look at the flowering period when he writes.
On the day of Xia Yao's banquet, she went with her stepmother Zhou and Xia Li, and she didn't know what the princess thought in her heart. Xia Yao is now unmarried and is still a member of the Xia family, this invitation should be sent to the housewife, and then the housewife decides who to take with her.
Now I take a separate invitation, and I don't know if it's good or bad.
After Xia Yao and the others arrived at the Prince's Mansion, they were directly led to the back garden, there were not many people in the garden, only a few or ten people, to Xia Yao's surprise, there were actually many men inside.
The men, who were about fifteen or sixteen years old, gathered together and didn't know what they were discussing.
Xia Yao, what about the three-year-old men and women who "......" said are not at the same seat? Do you say that a good man and a woman are intimate? History, you've almost been ruined by your friends. She always felt that she would not be surprised to see the ancient pre-marital trial marriage in the future.
Xia Yao was shocked in her heart, but she still maintained a dignified and beautiful posture on her face, a decent smile was hooked at the corner of her mouth, and she silently followed behind Zhou.
As soon as Zhou came, two or three women who were originally on the side quickly surrounded him, complimenting Xia Yao without a trace.
People came one after another, both men and women, and the more they went to the back, the more gorgeous they were, and the higher their status, as if it were the finale of modern times.
It stands to reason that although the Xia family is not a top-level noble, it is also a third-grade official in an important position! Why did the Zhou family come so early? Xia Yao thought suspiciouslyβis there a story in this that she doesn't know?
As the crown princess who invited the person, she was noble, so she was naturally the last to arrive.
The crown princess is the daughter of the head of the Ning family, a scholarly family, I heard that she can recite poems at the age of three and write articles at the age of five.
Xia Yao cautiously peeked at this proud girl of the sky, she has a pair of beautiful apricot eyes like Xia Yao, but her facial features are not as dignified as Xia Yao's, but it gives people a feeling of light and gentle affection.
As soon as people see her, they want to talk to her.
Ning's? As if she had heard it there, Xia Yao couldn't help but think about it, and the crown princess Ning Susu smiled and beckoned to Xia Yao gently, "Isn't this my cousin?" How is it so far away? Come and sit next to my cousin. β
Cousin? - Xia Yao only knows that the biological mother of the original owner is the unfavored concubine of the Ning family, so in this way, this 'Ning family' is the mother of the crown princess.
Under the inquiring eyes of everyone, Xia Yao stepped forward to pay a salute to Ning Susu, and then sat down in her designated position in accordance with her intentions. And Zhou pulled Xia Li cheekily and sat down with Xia Yao.
Ning Susu glanced at Zhou twice, but didn't say anything?
Everyone sat together according to their status, and the male and female dependents sat opposite each other, with a gap of three meters wide, and Ning Susu was naturally sitting on the top seat, and Xia Yao sat in the first position on Ning Susu's left hand.
On the table, there are good dim sum with all the color and fragrance, and the best Longjing is in the hand, and a pot of brightly colored peonies is brought up to comment and then served down.
Once the crown princess took a fancy to the pot of flowers, everyone praised it vigorously, as if they had seen a peony for the first time in their lives.
Xia Yao drank tea slowly, looking drowsy.
"This is Yao'er's sister, right?" Ning Susu smiled gently.
Xia Li, who was suddenly named, was a little panicked, but immediately calmed down, "Yes, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess." β
"Such a well-behaved and lovely man." Ning Susu smiled and took a sip of the fragrant Longjing, "I don't know if there is a marriage match?" β
Xia Li's face was flushed, and when she glanced up, she immediately lowered her head, showing her little daughter's posture. Zhou stood up to speak for his daughter, "The little girl is still young, do I still want to keep her to accompany me as a mother?" Hence this marriage! It's not settled. β
Ning Susu, "That's not what I said, Cousin Yao'er was kissed by the two princes, how could this sister be left behind." β
Everyone was already very curious about this matter, but because of the royal matter, they didn't say much. But now this matter has been blatantly said by the crown princess, and everyone has whispered.
Xia Yao, how does "............" feel that Ning Susu is deliberately targeting her?
"I just don't know why my sister rejected the Third Highness?" The expression on Ning Susu's face converged, and he was cold, "Don't you look down on the other party?" β
The third prince is the dragon and phoenix among people, and that girl doesn't think about spring, and everyone is quite hostile to Xia Yao. Now that these words came out, Xia Yao even increased everyone's hatred.
The hatred of what you think about is worth it in the eyes of others.
How dare Xia Yao take this, she put on a sad face, and said with a crying voice: "What is His Royal Highness the Crown Princess saying, His Royal Highness the Third Highness is very good, but it's a pity that my sister already has someone she likes, even if he is unwell, my sister is willing to be with him, not for a long time, just for what she once had." β
Don't ask for a long time, just have it.
Everyone savored it, and for a moment the whole garden was silent.
"Good!" A hoarse male voice sounded, and he did not shy away from saying: "You really deserve to be a strange woman who dares to resist the decree, fifth brother, you are really blessed." β
Everyone looked towards the entrance of the garden, and the crown prince Xuanyuan Ye walked towards this side with the third prince Xuanyuan Che and the fifth prince Xuanyuan Luo, and the one who spoke before was the crown prince Xuanyuan Ye of the current dynasty who was above 10,000 people under one person.
And Xuanyuan Luo and Xuanyuan Che stared at Xia Yao with complicated eyes.
The crown prince waved his sleeves at everyone, "No need to salute. Then he stepped forward and sat down next to Xia Susu.
Xia Susu smiled gently and happily, and poured tea and water for Xuanyuan Ye with her own hands.
The man sitting first on the right-hand side took the initiative to step back without being asked, and let the servants who were waiting on the side quickly change into new long tables and small cushioned chairs, and then the maidservants brought new tea and snacks.
Xia Yao almost wanted to cry now - such a shameful word was actually heard by the original owner. Raw no love face jpg.
And now the most complicated mood is undoubtedly Xuanyuan Luo, he does not deny that he does have a good impression of Xia Yao.
But it's just a good feeling, he didn't think that this woman was using him as a shield, but now he heard that this woman actually said that she was happy with herself in front of so many high-ranking officials and daughters, and got on her own dilapidated boat openly.
It's not that she hasn't thought about the difficulties she will have alone in the future, it's just that this difficulty is not as good as her feelings for him in her heart.
He felt as if his heart was wrapped in something, warm, making him want to laugh and cry a little.
It's okay...... Xuanyuan Luo crossed a touch of happiness in his heart - fortunately, when his father was angry and wanted to behead the entire Xia family, he was stopped by the eldest princess.
If Xuanyuan Luo hadn't begged his father to let him go and see it first; If it weren't for the fact that his father considered that he had no heirs; If he hadn't found this girl interesting and wanted to keep it for fun; I'm afraid this person is gone.
Thinking of it, Xuanyuan Luo's gaze at Xia Yao became even more enthusiastic.
It will be his wife, the mother of his children, and later he will go out of the palace to establish the mistress of the mansion.
Out of the Palace...... Xuanyuan Che touched his chest, his eyes became confused and painful again, could his dilapidated body last until that time?
Xuanyuan Luo is contradictory, he doesn't want to drag Xia Yao's life down, but he can't help but imagine what it would be like to live with a woman who loves him.
