Chapter 29: Kneel down and kowtow

There are still three days, which is the time to enter the palace, if Xia Jinse has a bad reputation at this time, even if she has a life-saving grace for the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will not allow her to become the princess.

The candidate for the princess can be slightly inferior in appearance, but the family background must be good, this is the face of the royal family, and it is absolutely not allowed to be casual.

Xia Jinse thought for a while and asked, "Let's not talk about this first, Aunt Yao, do you know the second sister and the third sister these days, what are they doing?" ”

Aunt Yao said: "The second and third young ladies are busy preparing to enter the palace, which is like Miss, and they don't take it to heart at all." The queen likes poetry, and every year the garden party will let the daughters of each family chant poems against each other, and the eldest lady is reading in the house these days, and has never been out of the house. ”

Xia Jinse blinked: "She's so cautious? ”

"It's not, even the third miss is very serious these days, and the master specially invited Master Zhuxian to guide the third lady to play the piano. Master Zhuxian's piano skills are unique in the world, even the emperor is full of praise, the third lady has good piano skills, and now she has the guidance of Master Zhuxian, and she will definitely be a blockbuster in front of the Jade Concubine Niangniang this time. Aunt Yao sighed.

Xia Jinse didn't expect that he was busy with the case and worried about his brother Xia Junping, but Xia Ruxue and Xia Mengyao were preparing to enter the palace. In fact, she didn't care about any flower viewing parties and garden parties, but now that someone is willing to destroy her reputation for her own interests, she is unwilling.

Those who have vested profits are the initiators, and Xia Jinse knows it in his heart.

Since some people want that position so much, she might as well help add some firewood and fire, and then there will be a good show to watch.

"Mu Xiang, go and help me find a set of men's clothes, and you can also change clothes together and get ready to go out." Xia Jinse said.

"Miss, are you still going out at this time?" Mu Xiang and Aunt Yao were puzzled.

"Go ahead, I've got my own idea."

This is the first time Xia Jinse went out to hang out, changed into men's clothes, she not only covered up the girl's delicateness, but also deliberately made her complexion sallow, added two mustaches, and pretended to be a short man in his thirties.

This is the power of makeup, I didn't expect Mu Xiang to have such a hand, which made Xia Jinse unexpected.

After asking Aunt Yao where she had heard the rumors before, the three of them went straight forward. Along the way, it is very lively, the scales are more than one another, there are merchants selling along the street, women with children, and aunts carrying vegetable baskets, and the streets of the capital are particularly prosperous.

Xia Jinse watched and walked at the same time, full of freshness to everything, I had watched a lot on TV before, and I experienced it once, and it still felt different.

"Young Master, it's just ahead." Aunt Yao said, pointing to a three-story building in front of her.

It was a restaurant, people came and went, business was very good, Xia Jinse took Mu Xiang and Aunt Yao closer, and he could hear the noise from inside. The three of them went in, found a corner and sat down at random, ordered two side dishes, and listened to the gossip of the people around them.

"It's Xia Xiang's eldest daughter, who just came back from the border and almost died."

"I heard that Miss Xia likes to mess with men the most, her reputation has been lost, and she still wants to marry the prince......"

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Miss Naxia encountered a villain and was disfigured, and she knew that she couldn't be the princess, so she was even more indulgent. Didn't the capture of Jingzhao Mansion seal the auspicious gambling house yesterday, I heard that I also saw Miss Xia in the gambling house. ”

"What, the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion went to the gambling house? It's incredible. ”

Listening to everyone's discussions, all the gossip about Xia Jinse, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all kinds of hearsay, everyone had different opinions, and Mu Xiang and Aunt Yao's faces turned white.

Xia Jinse said lightly: "Don't pay attention to it, the more you explain them, the more energetic they become, someone deliberately spreads rumors, of course, how ugly it is." ”

Mu Xiang said angrily: "But Miss, do you just let them talk nonsense?" Why don't you go and report to the police! ”

The report is useful, why is Xia Jinse still going out? To deal with this kind of fly camp and dog gourd, it is necessary to return a tooth for a tooth.

After observing for a while, Xia Jinse became more and more sure that it was the Zhao family's people who were spreading rumors. Because no matter how unbearable those people said about her, it definitely didn't affect Xia Ruxue and Xia Mengyao.

Even when someone inadvertently talked about these two sisters, someone immediately explained, saying that the Prime Minister's Mansion was strictly disciplined, and the second and third ladies were excellent, only the eldest lady died when she was a child, and she grew up in the pile of ruffians at the border pass, so it was crooked.

"If you want me to say, the princess should be the second or third lady! The eldest lady is vulgar and disfigured, how can He De be the princess! ”

"That's it! The second lady is dignified and elegant, and the third lady is pretty and lively, and they are all better than the eldest lady. ”

Just as everyone was gossiping, suddenly a man's voice sounded: "If you want to talk about the first talented woman in the capital, she is naturally the unparalleled county lord of the Xiaoyao Mansion!" There are poems: Emei is a talented man, and in the snow, how can the unparalleled county lord be compared with an ordinary daughter? ”

But I saw a table on the right side of the lobby, sitting two young men. One is about in his early twenties, with starry eyebrows and sword eyes, and the other is fifteen or sixteen, wearing nylon, red lips and white teeth, both of them have extraordinary temperaments, and they are from rich and noble families at first glance.

It was an entourage standing behind the two of them who spoke, burly, not angry but mighty, he only glanced at everyone, and there was an aura that people did not dare to look at directly.

But after all, there are still people who disagree with his words: "The Wushuang County Lord is indeed famous, but the emperor gave marriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, but not to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion." If you want to talk about the first princess of the dynasty, it is most likely to be the second or third lady of Xia Xiang! ”

The attendant said disdainfully: "Ignorance! What if the Prime Minister has a marriage letter? At the beginning, everyone was optimistic about Miss Xia, but now isn't her face ruined and her reputation ruined? The unequaled county lord is outstanding, and only she is the best candidate for the princess. ”

Xia Jinse frowned when he heard this, this person praised the unequaled county lord, why should he hurt her?

Does everyone really like to step on her soft persimmon?

She glanced at the two young men, well-dressed and with outstanding temperament. It's just that...... The young boy didn't seem to have seen much of the world, his face was slightly red, and he looked a little ashamed, as if he was trying his best to control it?

Also, why doesn't this little boy have an Adam's apple? There is a small dimple on the earlobe, although it is difficult to see it from a distance, but I can guess that it is only an ear piercing. Xia Jinse understood, she should be the peerless county lord.

Just when everyone was oppressed by the momentum of the entourage of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion and couldn't speak, someone spoke again.

Xia Jinse touched the two mustaches on his lips, and said seriously: "Where is the Wushuang County Lord compared to Xia Xiang's two daughters?" In particular, Miss Xia Er looks like a fairy, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and in less than two days, it will be a garden party held by the queen's mother, and it will be a blockbuster when the time comes, far better than the unparalleled county lord! ”

A sharp gaze swept over, and the burly man seemed to be a little angry: "The old man said that it is the Wushuang County Lord, that is, the Wushuang County Lord, you and other laypeople, what do you know?" ”

Xia Jinse squinted at him: "You said yes?" Do you dare to make a bet, if Miss Xia Er wins, you will let the Wushuang County Lord admit defeat to Miss Xia Er in person, and give up the name of the first talented girl? ”

The entourage's face sank, how could he call the shots?

"Are you from the Prime Minister's House?" The noble son, who had not spoken, spoke, staring at Xia Jinse.

As the prince of the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion, Ji Zimo has been a martial artist since he was a child, and he became a royal guard when he was over twenty years old, and his future is limitless. Today he is not on duty, so he has time to take his sister out for a walk, and he doesn't want to hear everyone talking about the three young ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

said how unbearable Xia Jinse was, he didn't care about it, but he said that the other two young ladies were so good that they couldn't even compare to his sister Wushuang County Lord, so he was a little reluctant.

Ji Zimo has always felt sorry for his sister, knowing that she is reserved and arrogant, and disdains to be knowledgeable with those people, which implies that the loyal servants are helpful. As a result, this mustachioed man was attracted to speak so unpolitely that he couldn't help it no matter how good his temper was.

Xia Jinse was purely looking for trouble, not only was he not afraid, but he also didn't like the arrogance of this group, and said lightly: "I didn't say that I was from the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Ji Zimo's eyes darkened: "Since you are not from the Prime Minister's Mansion, why are you so biased?" You only know that Miss Xia Er is good, can you prove that the Wushuang County Lord is not good? Such partiality and partiality are the views of foolish people. ”

Xia Jinse glanced at him: "I'm happy, you don't care!" ”

Ji Zimo's color changed slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure.

He was just about to say a few words to teach Xia Jinse a few words, but his sister Ji Wushuang beside him held his hand and shook his head slightly: "Brother, forget it, there is no need to argue with this kind of person." Some people think very highly of themselves, thinking that everything is under control, but they don't know that the summit is turning, and the winner who has the last laugh is the winner. ”

When everyone heard it, what this little boy said made sense!

There are too many variables in life, even if there is a marriage book, but Miss Xia still plays a good hand of cards and ends up with a bad reputation? Do you know if the position of the first princess will eventually fall into the hands of the unequaled county lord?

At this time, Xia Jinse stood up, looked at Ji Wushuang and smiled slightly: "I also know that there are people who believe that hard work will definitely pay off. But Heaven is fair, and if they don't end up doing so, it's not that they deserve better, but — she doesn't deserve it! ”

When Ji Wushuang heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his elegance, wasn't this person sarcastic about her?

She is the county lord of Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, the first talented woman in the capital, who is she worthy? Is it just your mustache and three inches? If she hadn't cared about her identity, she would have wanted to curse a long time ago.

Ji Zimo twitched cheeks, tried his best to restrain himself, and said with a straight face: "Your Excellency is aggressive, you just think that the Wushuang County Lord is not as good as Miss Xia Er, right?" Do you dare to bet with me? ”

"Bet on what?" Xia Jinse said.

"If the county lord of Wushuang becomes the princess, you tell Miss Xia Er to let her kneel down and kowtow to the county lord three times!" Ji Zimo gritted his teeth and said coldly.

Xia Jinse raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Okay!" If the Wushuang county lord becomes the princess, the second lady will be convinced, and she will definitely kowtow to her. But if the second lady wins, then the unequaled county lord will have to kneel down and kowtow to the second miss. ”
