Chapter 179

Seeing everyone's instantaneous frozen expressions, Xia Qingyun knew that most of them were talking about themselves. She smiled faintly, her gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally fell on the third and fourth princesses.

It's not that she resents others talking about herself. The mouth grows under people's noses, and she likes to talk about what their freedom is, as long as she doesn't speak disrespectfully in front of her, she won't care about them.

It's just that she doesn't know most of the people in this big house, except for the third princess and the fourth princess, so she can only smile in return.

In terms of identity and grade, Xia Qingyun is comparable to the third princess, but she is half a year older than her, so the third princess has to salute first when she sees her.

Although the third princess is rude and willful, she is a royal princess after all, she has received strict etiquette training since she was a child, and in front of everyone, she came to participate in other people's ceremonies, even if she has an opinion on Xia Qingyun in her heart, she will not lose her manners at this time.

What's more, there is also the eldest princess who came with Xia Qingyun, if she grabbed the pigtail and sued the queen mother's ancestor, she would be disciplined for a small matter, and the mother concubine would be blamed by the queen mother.

"The eldest princess is fine, and the lord of Taiping is fine." The third princess smiled and blessed with an almost perfect expression and gesture.

The four princesses have always been the only three princesses, and they also followed closely to give gifts to the two.

The others naturally saluted one after another, and after greeting for a while, Zhao, the lady of the military department, smiled at the ladies and said, "Let their young people talk here, and our old sisters will move to the side hall, where it will be warmer." He turned his head and instructed his eldest daughter: "Wen Yan, you are so good to entertain all the sisters." ”

The elders are gone. The young ladies suddenly became lively again, and they got together with each other, chattering and chattering.

Shan'er saw a birdcage hanging from the trelis by the window, and a canary was jumping around in it, pulling at the hem of the eldest princess's clothes to look at it.

The eldest princess was chatting with the prime minister's third daughter, Nangong Xue, and couldn't get out of it for a while, Xia Qingyun took Shan'er's little hand, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the birds." ”

The flower stand is more than one person high, and Xia Qingyun has to hold it to see the birdcage. Shan'er was just six years old. Although he was not fat, after hugging Xia Qingyun for a while, his arm was sore and heavy. He instructed Qingmei to bring over a corner chair and let Shan'er stand on it.

She was not interested in making sure those noisy noblewomen, and while coaxing Shan'er, she quietly enjoyed the scenery outside the window.

Shangshu Mansion was not as big as she thought. There are also no extravagant amenities and decorations. But it's very cleverly planned. Quite a bit of Jiangnan garden style. From every window, you can see a different view.

Although it was the end of winter, the flowers and trees in the yard had not yet turned green. However, the knotted branches and the exquisite Taihu Lake stones in the pond of the water pavilion also have the artistic conception of ink painting.

She looked out the window and didn't notice that Shan'er in front of her was playfully poking her little finger into the cage.

The canary sometimes jumped on the bar, sometimes tilted her little head, stared at Shan'er's fingers with round black bean-like eyes, and tentatively jumped over to peck at the tips of her white and tender fingers.

Shan'er giggled and retracted her finger, and the canary unwillingly pecked at the door of the bird's cage, which was actually caught up by it a little crack, and then fell down again.

When Shan'er saw it, she curiously pinched the beam on the door with her little hand and lifted it up, and the canary first jumped back, and when she saw the cage door wide open, she flapped her wings and flew out.

"Wow! The birds have flown up! Shan'er slapped her face with joy.

"Ahh Xia Qingyun was startled by the fluttering finches, puffed out her cheeks and said, "Shan'er is so naughty, why did you let it out?" ”

The canary was raised by Shangguan Wenyan. She is good at painting flowers and birds, in order to observe the demeanor of the birds, specially let people transport one from the south, and personally feed and feed the water on weekdays, which is very treasured.

The canary flew around the house twice, causing the girls to dodge and scream. Shangguan Wenyan's face changed, and when she saw that the window was still ajar, she shouted to close the window quickly, and rushed towards Shan'er.

It was too late, and the canary flew to the window, and in the blink of an eye, he went out, and the chirp disappeared.

Shangguan Wenyan rushed too violently, and suddenly couldn't restrain his body, and slammed straight into the corner chair.

The corner chair shook violently, and Shan'er fell off it.

Fortunately, Xia Qingyun was next to her, and she hugged Shan'er quickly, but Shan'er's forehead still slammed on the case by the window, and she cried loudly.

Xia Qingyun's heart tightened, and he hurriedly squatted down and rubbed Shan'er's red forehead, "Shan'er is brave and doesn't cry, be good, it's all because my aunt is not good, I didn't take a good look at you." ”

The eldest princess heard the crying and walked over, first picked up Shan'er and looked at it to see that it was nothing serious, and then comforted Xia Qingyun: "It doesn't matter, children are naughty, and bumps and bumps are also common." ”

Shangguan Wenyan covered her lower abdomen, tears flashed in her eyes, and she pulled away the chair and shouted: "Who put the chair here!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he caught a glimpse of the eldest princess beside him out of the corner of his eye, and immediately pursed his mouth and squeezed out a smile, "Is the county lord of Anping okay?" ”

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Xia Qingyun stood up and said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay," Shangguan Wenyan shook the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lip and stared at the window, and then looked at the county lord of Anping who had just stopped crying in the arms of the eldest princess, and it happened that the eldest princess also raised her head and met her gaze.

Shangguan Wenya smiled awkwardly, "It's okay if the county lord is fine." ”

The eldest princess had a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Shan'er let your finch go, I'll find one and return it to you another day." ”

"It's okay, no need." Shangguan Wenyan hurriedly waved his hand and walked to the other side of the room with the help of the maid.

The eldest princess half-lowered her eyes, led Shan'er to sit down on the corner chair, and rubbed her head to shock her. Xia Qingyun couldn't help it, and said, "It's me who is not good, and my sister can punish me." ”

The eldest princess raised her eyelids, "I said I wouldn't do your business." If it weren't for your quick hands, Shan'er would have fallen. ”

Although there was no smile, Xia Qingyun could tell from her tone that the eldest princess was not angry with herself. But why is her face so ugly?

The eldest princess glanced at Shangguan Wenyan from a distance, and said in a low voice: "It's okay for her to run over Shan'er for a bird, and ask lightly, she doesn't even look at the injury on Shan'er's head, which shows that Shan'er is not as good as the bird in her heart." ”

There was one more sentence left, and the eldest princess didn't say it. As soon as she looked up just now, she happened to see Shangguan Wenyan's eyes looking at Shan'er, obviously with a touch of disgust. Although Shangguan Wenyan immediately covered it up, she was still caught by her.

Although Xia Qingyun brought Shan'er over, if Shangguan Wenyan hadn't pounced so panicked, Shan'er wouldn't have been knocked off the chair by her. Fortunately, Xia Qingyun was next to her, and Shan'er didn't have any major incidents. So of course the eldest princess would not blame Xia Qingyun.

But Shangguan Wenyan not only did not apologize in the slightest, but disliked Shan'er, of course the eldest princess would not be happy. (To be continued......)
