Chapter 3 Heart-to-heart

It turned out to be the eldest sister's sister-in-law. She remembered that her eldest sister was married to the son of a general under her grandfather in the past.

Not long ago, I heard that her eldest brother-in-law was promoted to the captain of Zhenwei from the sixth rank because of his meritorious service in going to Jiangnan to suppress bandits, and he also entered the Tianwu Army, the most elite in the forbidden army, as a deputy general, and his future is bright.

And the sister-in-law is innocent and lively, it seems that the eldest sister's life is very good!

"Tsk, I said Cousin Xuan, you really have courage!" Li Yue looked at Zhang Xuan, his eyes were incomprehensible.

Xie Ying and Zhang Xuan, who were talking, looked at him inexplicably.

Li Yue said helplessly: "Second Miss Xie is so beautiful, you see that there are women in the garden who come forward to talk, and you are the only one who has great courage!" After speaking, his face was full of admiration.

As soon as Zhang Xuan heard it, she understood that Li Yue turned around and said that she was ugly! Annoyed and angry, she was about to scold back, but Xie Ying grabbed her.

"As Li Gongzi said, I just stood here, who can come up and talk to this man in the garden, only Li Gongzi, his courage is commendable!" After saying that, the smile in his eyes flowed, and the pretty attitude stunned the two people behind Li Yue.

Li Yue was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "Second Miss Xie is still so unforgiving. ”

"Look how you make fun of me." Zhang Xuan took Xie Ying's hand and got a little closer.

"That's it, don't be angry with the little woman." After speaking, he left with the two classmates behind him.

"Sister Xuan, I finally found you." A woman wearing a light blue cross-collared blouse with wide sleeves and a white skirt approached. The facial features are beautiful, and he looks a little timid.

"Sister Xin is here, come here, I'll introduce you to Sister Sakura." Zhang Xuan hurried over and grabbed Song Xin's hand.

The two walked up to Xie Ying and were warmly introduced by Zhang Xuan.

Song Xin's uncle is the head of the Song Society in front of the current saint, and his parents died early, leaving her alone to go to the uncle's house in Beijing.

Xie Ying was a little surprised that Zhang Xuan was actually handkerchief with this person.

Although eunuchs can also be officials and even kill enemies, the identity of eunuchs is always criticized, and the children related to them are always looked down upon.

However, Xie Ying did not leak the surprise and doubts in her heart, and she still smiled Yan Yan on her face, and even became a little enthusiastic because of Zhang Xuan.

That Song Xin was also observing Xie Ying, she knew that although her uncle was a big celebrity in front of the saint, because of her eunuch background, few people really looked down on her when she was socializing in Beijing.

It was rare for a noble woman like Xie Ying to talk to her, let alone be so enthusiastic, she felt very surprised.

Zhang Xuan looked at Xie Ying and did not despise Song Xin at all because she was the child of a eunuch, and immediately multiplied the sister-in-law's sister.

The sister-in-law also said that Xie Ying was a little pampered and asked her to be more tolerant, but in her opinion, Xie Ying was gentle and understanding.

"Who is this sister? I don't think I've seen it in Kyokaka. While the three of them were talking and laughing, Pang Dai was surrounded by everyone and walked over.

Although she was smiling, Xie Ying could detect that her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and she looked at her with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Xie Ying was about to speak when Zhang Xuan on the side spoke first: "My sister is Miss Xie Er from the Yasukuni Mansion. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Xie Er? Isn't that the woman who was made the crown princess by the edict of the first emperor not long after she was born?

I heard that I have been keeping filial piety at home before, and now I have come out to meet people! was born so beautiful, and today he stole the limelight from Pang Dai.

Now one of the two is the quasi-crown princess and the other is the third princess. Behind the crown prince is the queen, and behind the third prince is the Rong concubine.

The queen and Concubine Rong are fighting in the harem, the prince and the third prince are fighting in the court, Xie Ying and Pang Dai are afraid that they will fight again, right?

The moment Pang Dai heard Xie Ying's identity, the smile on his face was even worse. This Miss Xie Er, who has been staying at the gate of the Yasukuni Mansion all the year round, has finally appeared!

Not long ago, on the second day after the decree was issued, she was called into the palace by her aunt Rong Guifei, saying that her marriage with the third prince would wait until after the prince got married, after all, the young and the young were orderly.

And the crown prince is now nineteen years old, and there are no other women in the East Palace except for the three concubines. And the reason why the prince has not married for a long time is that the designated princess is still young, and she has been keeping filial piety at home before.

For this reason, she once cursed in private, and it was she who prevented her from marrying her cousin as soon as possible and becoming the third princess.

"It turned out to be Sister Xie, why didn't my sister tell my sister when I came, so that my sister could treat you well." Pang Dai walked over with an enthusiastic face and grabbed Xie Ying's arm.

After Zhang Xuan introduced Xie Ying to everyone, she whispered in her ear to introduce the people in front of her.

It turns out that it is the third princess, Xie Ying felt a little emotion in her heart, some people don't need to do it deliberately, they are your enemies to the death.

"My sister still needs to be busy entertaining guests, my sister doesn't dare to trouble my sister, and besides, the slaves around are waiting at any time, so it's good for my sister to find them if there is anything." Xie Ying let Pang Dai hold her arm and responded with a smile, she still will.

"My sister is sensible, but not like my cousin Yao, who pestered me as soon as she entered the mansion," Pang Dai looked at Xie Ying full of praise.

However, Meng Yao's face beside her was a little stiff. She pesters her? Yes, if it weren't for her aunt being Concubine Rong, she would have needed to revolve around her like a bee.

Although she was making fun of her, she was very unhappy when she stepped on her by holding Xie Ying.

"I heard that Sister Xie grew up in Youzhou since she was a child, and she can ride horses and shoot arrows, and we will not be allowed to let us throw pots in a while!" Pang Dai held Xie Ying's hand and spoke in a coquettish tone, as if she was coquettish.

Does this mean that she behaves rudely and is not as dignified and polite as an ordinary woman?

"Sister Pang, sister, I was born in the door and knows some martial arts." Xie Ying didn't intend to hide the fact that she knew martial arts, and if she concealed it but accidentally exposed it, it would only be more troublesome.

"My sister has been taught by my grandmother since she came to the capital, and she has learned the training of the female red boudoir in the house every day, and now she has achieved something, so my grandmother is relieved to let me come out and mingle with the sisters, otherwise I am afraid of insulting the sisters."

Her words show that although she is proficient in martial arts, she has long since abandoned it, and she humbly and politely praised the noble girl present for her extraordinary status.

Sure enough, the surrounding women looked at Xie Ying's faces with a slight smile.

Pondy looked at the scene and remembered something.

That day, my aunt was a little resentful when she mentioned Xie Yingniang's kiss. only told her that this Xie Ying was also stunningly beautiful, and asked her not to care too much.

Later, she asked someone to inquire in private, and it turned out that Xie Ying's mother-in-law Xia Jiao was born in the Xia family, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, Jiangnan.

It is said that the fame spread to the capital, and the current saint, who was not yet the emperor at that time, was very curious, and planned to go to Jiangnan to meet this woman in person.

Who knew that the first emperor was seriously ill, and he, as the only son, had to serve at the bedside, so the trip was delayed.

When the first emperor died of serious illness, the saint succeeded to the throne and planned to directly include this woman in the palace, but Xia Jiao married Xie Rin, the third son of the Jingguo Mansion.

Shengshang suddenly felt regretful, so he told his aunt, who was still Concubine Rong at the time, about it, and the aunt told his grandfather that she had thought of a way to let Xie Ying's parents be stationed in the northern Xinjiang, which broke the saint's mind.

In the past, I don't know how the saint would feel when he saw the daughter of the woman he couldn't get back then, and a thought suddenly appeared in her heart.

Meng Yao, who was beside Pang Dai, found that her eyes were a little empty, so she hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said loudly: "Cousin Dai has arranged a pot throwing competition in Cuiwei Pavilion on the other side of the pond, are you interested in going together?" ”

Everyone knew that this Cuiwei Pavilion was the next stage of the master's arrangement, and they all went with it.

Before leaving, Pang Dai let go of Xie Ying's hand, using the excuse that he was the master and wanted to lead the way ahead, but Xie Ying couldn't ask for it.

After Pang Dai left, Zhang Xuan immediately stepped forward to hold Xie Ying's hand with a smile on her face.

"Sister Sakura, I heard my sister-in-law say that you grew up in Youzhou since you were a child, and you are still a martial artist taught by the old Jingguo Gong himself, can you teach me two tricks when you go back?" Zhang Xuan leaned into her ear and whispered.

Xie Ying stopped and looked at her with a serious face: "Sister Xuan, women should study the female red boudoir training well, know etiquette and etiquette, how can you think of dancing with knives and sticks, this is not appropriate." ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, didn't the sister-in-law say that Sister Ying grew up in Northern Xinjiang, and she was different from the women in Beijing who only knew self-denial and revenge? What's the matter with this one-glance admonition?

Suddenly, Xie Ying looked at her stunned appearance and smiled, and took her hand: "Sister Xuan, let's go over quickly." ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned, this sister changed her face too quickly, right?

Song Xin next to her covered her mouth with a handkerchief and snickered, the sister she met today was really interesting!

Cuiwei Pavilion is on the edge of the pond, and there is a bamboo forest on the side, with a unique scenery.

As soon as they arrived at Cuiwei Pavilion, Xie Ying and his party heard a burst of exclamations from inside.

"His Royal Highness is worthy of being the best martial artist among the princes, and he will definitely come out on top today."

"Yes, I heard that Chen Lingcai, the granddaughter of the right minister, is outstanding in learning, and the two of them deserve to be talented men and women."

“………”

Xie Ying heard it in her chest, this was talking about the second prince and the quasi-second princess Chen Ling, who had just been assigned to marry.

It is said that the second highness Mu Jue is heroic and martial, and he is quite talented in martial arts, and he is the best martial artist among the princes. But in the same way, he is also one of the princes that the saints don't like today, and the other is the crown prince.

Today's saints are obsessed with calligraphy, don't like government politics, and hate martial arts the most, so they worship literature and light martial arts.

This Chen Ling is the most outstanding granddaughter of the right minister, known as the first talented woman in the capital, Danqing is particularly good, and she once worshiped under the door of the painting saint Gu Lao Gu Qing.

Some people in the capital couldn't get Gu Lao's paintings, so they retreated to the second best thing and bought her paintings with a lot of money, which made her reputation even better, and even spread the reputation of "Little Painting Fairy".

It is worth mentioning that this Chen Ling is a concubine born in the concubine room, but the limelight of the two daughters born in the main room is covered, Xie Ying keenly feels that this is not simple.
