Chapter 246: Hooked
"Cousin, is the princess angry?" Xue Ruolan pulled Liu Qingluo and asked nervously.
Before she came to the capital, Mrs. Xue carefully told her that she must leave a good impression on Princess Lin'an and Queen Chen, so that the northwest is their Xue family.
But Princess Lin'an spoke coldly, I'm afraid she was annoyed by her.
"What should I do, cousin, my mother said that if I messed up this time, my mother would definitely scold me, cousin, what do you say?"
Xue Ruolan was about to cry in a hurry, as long as she thought of Princess Lin'an's expression, she felt more and more that Princess Lin'an was annoyed with her.
Pulling Liu Qingluo's sleeve, she said quickly: "Cousin, what should I do?" Her voice was sobbing.
"How do I know what to do!" Liu Qingluo said with a straight face.
Her mind was full of Xie Qing's crimson face, and the white figure not far away, which was the intimacy and shyness between lovers. Liu Qingluo only felt that her heart was very sour, and it seemed that something was blocking her heart, so that she couldn't let go.
When her heart was stuffy and sour, Xue Ruolan was chattering crookedly, and she was noisy!
"Cousin......" Xue Ruolan had tears in her eyes.
Liu Qingluo frowned: "Don't make any noise, what's the use of you talking about this now, why did you go earlier?" ”
She had already told Xue Ruolan that this was the palace, not her home, and she had to restrain her temperament and not be open-mouthed, but her mouth couldn't help but open, and now that she was in trouble, she knew how to cry.
"Cousin, I didn't mean to, besides, I'm not all for you, cousin." Xue Ruolan pouted and said.
The words were full of grievances, she and Xie Qing confronted each other, seizing the opportunity to wait for the celebration, not to give Liu Qingluo a vent, but why didn't Liu Qingluo appreciate it?
"Cousin, you said that Xie Qing snatched the person you liked, that's why Lan'er helped you, have you forgotten? It was your cousin, who said it yourself. Xue Ruolan emphasized again.
She originally wanted to tell Liu Qingluo that she did all this for Liu Qingluo's good. But when these words were heard in Liu Qingluo's ears, the taste changed.
A hint of discoloration flashed in Liu Qingluo's eyes: "Sister Lan, you can't talk nonsense, I didn't ask you to insult her." ”
Unlike Xue Ruolan, Liu Qingluo is a famous noble girl in the capital, with a dignified demeanor and a moderate manners, she is a model of everyone's beauty, she is extremely careful in her words and deeds, and she must not have the slightest flaw. So if there is, Xue Ruolan can say it, but she can't say it.
Xue Ruolan frowned, "But cousin, you clearly said ......"
"Enough!" Liu Qingluo's face changed, and she snorted coldly, Xue Ruolan was shocked, why was her cousin so fierce.
Liu Qingluo suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and said patiently: "Sister Lan, this is the palace, you can't talk nonsense, otherwise someone with a heart will listen to it, and maybe something will come out." ”
She can say behind her back that Xie Qing is not, and she can instigate Xue Ruolan to give Xie Qing no face, but she can't herself, and she can't let others know that she instigated behind her back.
Xue Ruolan nodded as if she didn't understand: "Cousin, what should I do now?" I see that the princess seems to be unhappy, and I am afraid of offending the princess. ”
This is what Xue Ruolan is most worried about, if this matter is messed up, she will definitely be punished.
"Cousin, help me figure out a way, if my mother finds out, she will definitely ground me." Xue Ruolan was extremely worried, and dragged Liu Qingluo and shook it violently.
"Don't shake it, your head is shaking my head." Liu Qingluo raised her hand and pushed her away, "I don't know what the princess thinks right now, it's useless for you to worry now." ”
Xue Ruolan bit the corner of her lip and said hesitantly: "Then the princess, she is not angry?" ”
Liu Qingluo shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, you didn't say anything wrong, it's just that your tone must be changed." Xie Qing ......"
Liu Qingluo gritted her teeth and continued: "Xie Qing, she is the county lord canonized by the Queen Mother, and she is higher than us in terms of status, even if you want to say something, you must pay attention to your tone." ”
Xue Ruolan called Xie Qing by his first name, which was very rude in terms of etiquette.
"Oh...... I know. Xue Ruolan nodded slightly, "I'll pay attention, cousin." ”
Liu Qingluo sighed and said, "Alas, I taught you everything, but you just can't listen to it." ”
"Cousin......" Xue Ruolan looked at Liu Qingluo aggrievedly, "I really just want to vent my cousin's anger." ”
"Okay, okay, cousin knows." Liu Qingluo was a little impatient. Xue Ruolan is really like an ignorant child, as soon as she says something serious, she immediately sheds tears, she really can't ......
Neither of them knew that Xie Ru, who was not far away, could see this scene clearly.
"Liu Qingluo really misses Yun Shizi." The corners of Xie Ru's lips curled slightly.
The maid Pei'er said, "This can't be, right? Isn't Miss Liu a model of everyone's beauty? How could it be ......"
Xie Ru took over and chuckled: "She has been in love with Yun Shizi for ten years, but in the end it was empty, how willing is she." ”
Pei'er is Xie Ru's personal maid, and she understands her master's mind the most, so she lowered her voice and said, "Then we want to use it?" ”
"How could you miss such a great opportunity?" The corners of Xie Ru's lips curled into a sinister smile, "I've already tried it, Liu Qingluo is cautious, but her cousin is really a fool, and it couldn't be easier to use her." ”
"Pei'er, you go ......" Xie Ru whispered to Pei'er for a moment......
Liu Qingluo has a good reputation among the nobles in Beijing, and is good friends with many people, these ladies stay at home on weekdays, rarely go out, and now with the palace banquet, the nobles have to chat and laugh.
And Xue Ruolan, an outsider, coupled with her open-mouthed and uninhibited speech, was unconsciously excluded. And Liu Qingluo was busy greeting her sisters, and ignored her for a while.
Xue Ruolan stood aside alone, extremely embarrassed.
Suddenly, a man walked up quickly, and hit her head-on, almost knocking her down.
"Miss spares her life, Miss spares her life, the slave didn't mean it." The maid hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Xue Ruolan was holding back the fire in her stomach right now, and immediately said angrily: "How do you walk, you can hit people with a good manner!" ”
"Pei'er, what's the matter with you?" Xie Ru stepped forward from not far away, and the maid kneeling on the ground was none other than Pei'er.
Xie Ru raised her eyes and looked at Xue Ruolan: "Miss Xue, I don't know where my maid offended Miss Xue, you want to punish her for kneeling?" ”
Xue Ruolan pointed at Pei'er and scolded sharply: "She bumped into me, what, do you want her to kneel, you don't agree?" ”
Xie Ru frowned slightly: "Pei'er, is this true?" ”
Pei'er hurriedly lowered her head, "Miss, the slave really didn't mean it, the slave was careless." ”
"What's not careful, I think you did it on purpose, you are clearly bullying me!" Xue Ruolan is worried that she is angry and has not set off, so she will definitely not have a good tone.
Xie Ru smiled gently: "Miss Xue, my maid is clumsy and offended you, Xie Ru will apologize to you, and please don't take it to heart." ”
After speaking, he bowed to Xue Ruolan.
He also instructed Pei'er: "Pei'er, don't kowtow to Miss Xue to make amends." ”
Hearing this, Pei'er hurriedly kowtowed to Xue Ruolan to make amends: "I'm sorry, Miss Xue, it's all the slave's fault, please forgive Miss Xue." ”
The other party's posture was low, Xue Ruolan felt much more comfortable in her heart, and raised her hand, "Forget it, Miss Ben doesn't care, but if there is a next time, see if Miss Ben doesn't break your legs!" ”
"Slave, thank you, Miss Xue." Pei'er lowered her head and said, in fact, Xue Ruolan didn't see the corners of Pei'er's slightly curved lips. Xie Ru said that Xue Ruolan was unhappy at the moment, and she wanted to let her take a breath first, so that her vigilance would be much less, so Pei'er deliberately bumped into it.
"Miss Xue, why are you alone? Aren't you with Miss Liu? Xie Ru asked.
Xue Ruolan pointed to Liu Qingluo, who was laughing with the ladies not far away, and said aggrievedly: "Cousin, I'm greeting others." ”
The corners of Xie Ru's lips lifted lightly: "Miss Xue, why don't you go over, it's good to make a few more friends?" ”
"They don't like me." Xue Ruolan just doesn't understand the world, but it doesn't mean that she can't feel the exclusion of others from her. She is very young and therefore very sensitive, and her thoughts are written on her face.
Unknowingly, Xue Ruolan had fallen into Xie Ru's gentle trap.
"Miss Xue, you may have misunderstood, where did you like and dislike when you meet for the first time?" Xie Ru's voice was very gentle, guiding Xue Ruolan like a confidant big sister.
Xue Ruolan said with a bitter face: "They just don't like me!" Even my cousin ......"
Speaking of this, Xue Ruolan suddenly closed her mouth, her face changed slightly, and she looked at Xie Ru, "Hey, don't be coy in front of me, I won't pay attention to you." ”
She suddenly remembered Liu Qingluo's instructions, Xie Ru is a purposeful person, so don't talk to her more, and try to avoid her.
When Xue Ruolan said, she wanted to walk away and stay away from Xie Ru.
Xie Ru's face stiffened slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant, and said with a light smile: "Miss Xue, you misunderstood me. I saw that you, like me, were not very gregarious, so I said a few words to you. ”
She's the same as her? Is this vibe?
Xue Ruolan looked at Xie Ru suspiciously, and saw that there was really no one else around her except her maid, and asked, "Really?" ”
"Really." Xie Ru nodded, "I am Concubine Shu's niece, and my aunt Concubine Shu decided that I was Princess Yi very early on, so even if I didn't leave the cabinet, many people thought that I was the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and I had to be extra cautious and careful when speaking in front of me, so few people talked to me." ”
"Aren't you lonely and no one wants to talk to you?" Xue Ruolan looked at Xie Ru with great sympathy.
