Chapter 65: Bamboo Horse
In the early morning, when the door was wide open, a ray of early sun poured into the house.
Wang Minhui was putting on makeup, and Xi Ping was waiting behind her to comb her hair.
"These days, the prince often goes to Xiyuan to dine with Aunt Xiao," Xi Ping said about it intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Minhui's face did not change, and replied lightly: "The palace knows that the prince goes to her for dinner, but he never stays overnight, so doesn't it make her even more uncomfortable?"
Wang Minhui seemed expressionless when she spoke, but she was slightly mocking.
Xi Ping wanted to speak and stopped spitting, and said: "Those who eat with them are also Taoge ......."
Wang Minhui was really stunned, her face changed slightly, and the hand that was originally holding the hairpin was now frozen.
Why did Taogo dine with them......
Wang Minhui calmed down in an instant, and did not answer, Xi Ping said again: "For this matter, yesterday Aunt Liu also went to Lisi Yuan to make a fuss with the prince, and named and said that the girl was a fox spirit, or was raised by the Xiao family."
Thinking that she Wang Minhui had always been tired of the Liu family, but now when she heard about this, she was naturally quite interested, and asked lightly: "What happened later?"
Xi Ping said: "The maid heard that Aunt Liu scolded very ugly at that time, which made the prince so angry that he almost started, but it happened that Aunt Xiao went over and persuaded the prince in time, and Aunt Liu only let the prince be grounded."
Wang Minhui sneered and said, "Ping'er really thinks that the Xiao family just happened to pass?"
Xi Ping smiled and said nothing, Wang Minhui became a good person again, took pity on Liu, and said: "Liu's and Xiao's live opposite the door, and I see the prince accompanying Xiao's every day." It's inevitable that I feel uncomfortable, and I blame the prince for not being able to get the rain and dew even. ”
Sima Daozi He has done rain and dew evenly, to her, to Liu, to Xiao, have never looked at it more, but in recent days, he is really abnormal, thinking that he has always liked to be widowed, and he is alone in the study on weekdays. Occasionally, a large family would dine together. But now he went to Xiao's place one after another, but there was a Tao Ge to accompany him, which is really strange!
Xi Ping lowered his eyes, and seemed to be a little gloomy. She said: "The princess often locks herself in the study alone these days. Turning a deaf ear to all the big and small things in the house. How could he know that that Tao Ge was actually Aunt Xiao's long-lost sister-in-law. Aunt Liu mentioned this matter many times, and even the maids and mothers-in-law in the house knew about it. ”
Wang Minhui was slightly stunned when she heard this, Tao Ge was actually Xiao's sister, she did hear that Xiao's sister had been separated for many years, but she never thought that her sister had been living in the palace all along.
The identity of this Tao Ge is really not simple!
She was optimistic and said: "The prince has always favored Tao Ge, and he often goes to Xiao Shi's place to eat these days, but it is only because of Tao Ge, if not, how can he bring Tao Ge to eat together."
Yes, Sima Daozi often goes to Xiao's place in order to be able to dine with Tao Ge.
As a brother-in-law, if he calls his sister-in-law to eat alone, it is not reasonable and reasonable, and it just so happens that Xiao often calls Tao Ge to eat, so he also goes to Xiao's place, so it is reasonable.
Xi Ping was a little worried, and said: "But Aunt Xiao doesn't know, the maid looks, her tail is about to rise to the sky these days, and you don't care about the princess, she is naturally even more arrogant."
Wang Minhui was quite indifferent, "That is the case, then let her be arrogant for a while." ”
After dinner that day, Tao Ge returned to Beiyuan, and sat alone on the promenade in front of the door to ponder, now it is summer, and the day after dinner is still bright.
Shaw suddenly came over and sat down with her.
Tao Ge suddenly asked, "Is Sister's injury better?"
Xiao Shi just sat down, and suddenly heard Su Su call her sister, naturally slightly stunned, "What?"
Tao Ge replied: "Sister's injury, it should be healed."
Xiao Shi's joy could not be hidden, she nodded, and said, "It's just a flesh wound, it's a long time ago."
Taogo looked sideways at her and asked, "Did you have a scar?"
Speaking of scars, Xiao Shi was quite worried in her heart, it was not good for her to leave a scar, and it was even worse if she didn't leave a scar.
She simply said: "The wound is shallow, and I don't know if there is a scar, so I don't care much about this these days."
Xiao thought that Tao Ge's words were intended to test her, but it turned out that she really thought too much.
Tao Ge just asked casually......
Xiao Shi said, hurriedly interrupted, and suddenly saw Tao Ge wearing the silver bracelet on his right foot, so he smiled: "Su Su is still wearing this foot ring?"
Tao Ge was stunned, she didn't know when she had worn this foot ring on her feet.
Seeing her expression, Xiao Shi knew that she didn't understand, so he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this foot ring should have been given to you by Tao Yuanming many years ago."
Tao Ge was completely stunned at this time, although she didn't know when she wore this foot ring, but she also knew that it must have been there before the age of eight, how could it be related to Tao Yuanming again......
"I don't remember," Xiao Shi quipped, "You and Tao Yuanming are childhood sweethearts, the two have no guesses, and they have had a marriage contract since childhood, at that time, all of us regarded you as a golden boy and a girl, a natural pair."
Xiao said, and said: "This foot ring, you played when you were a child, he put it on for you with his own hands, I still remember, you played the groom at that time, but Tao Yuanming played the bride, and he still held a pillow in his arms, which was the little doll he gave you." The housewife knew about this, and blamed you for wronging him, but you said that the wife is the husband, and the husband should let him be the wife, and Tao Yuanming actually follows you in everything. ”
Tao Ge knew that she had forgotten everything before she was eight years old, but she always thought that when she was in the Xiao family, she had never met Tao Yuanming.
"Sister just said, I and Tao Yuanming are childhood sweethearts?"
Xiao Shi smiled again and said: "When you were eight years old, you were playful, climbed a tree to pick loquats, but you fell from such a high place and hit your head on a stone, and almost lost your life, fortunately you just broke your head, but unfortunately you don't remember the previous things, and Tao Yuanming, you naturally have no impression."
Tao Ge frowned, Xiao Shi looked at her, and said seriously: "Tao Yuanming is five years old, you are still in your mother's womb, and your great-grandfather Da Sima Tao Kan came to Xiao's house as a guest and set up your family affairs with the main mother." You have grown up, Tao Yuanming's mother Meng often takes him to Xiao's house as a guest, you two are really childhood sweethearts, and you are inseparable in everything. ”
"It's a pity," Xiao Shi said: "Since the death of the great Sima Tao Kan, the Tao family has lost its former glory and has become a poor family, and the Tao family is even more in the middle of the road, plus you have left the Xiao family four years ago, so this family will not count." In fact, even if you are still in the Xiao family, presumably the housewife will not agree to your marriage, just imagine how a woman from the Shi clan can marry a man from the Shu clan and suffer hardships. ”
Tao Ge didn't listen at all, remembering that when Tao Yuanming first saw her, he wanted to propose to her, she had always regarded Tao Yuanming as a lewd and frivolous person, and she had never doubted her judgment, but now, she really doubted herself.
She didn't know if she was right or wrong when she looked at Tao Yuanming like this......
"Sister, I'm tired." (To be continued.) )
