However, what Father-in-law De said disappointed Xie Ru.

"Miss, I'm afraid you can't go. Niangniang said that the eldest lady always runs to the palace, and it is inevitable that she will have less time to get along with her parents and sisters. Father-in-law De had tried his best to be very tactful, but when these words stopped in Xie Ru's ears, he felt that it was a slap in the face, and it hurt.

"Father-in-law De, Niangniang didn't let Ru'er enter the palace, so why are you here today?" Lee's brows furrowed. didn't come to pick up Xie Ru into the palace, could it be that Concubine Shu had some will?

Father-in-law De replied with a smile: "Niangniang said, please go to the palace to sit down." ”

Xie Ru's face changed suddenly, and what she was worried about finally came.

"Auntie, why did she invite her fifth sister into the palace? How long is she going to stay in the palace? Xie Ru asked eagerly. When Xie Qing made the Ye family suffer a big loss, she faintly had a feeling that Xie Qing was the person Xie Shufei liked, she was smart and clever, and she could help Xie Shufei, if she let Xie Shufei see Xie Qing's goodness, she was afraid that she would fall out of favor in front of Xie Shufei.

She has been with Concubine Shu for many years, and the sisters in the house all say that she is good-looking and talented, and she likes Concubine Shu, in fact, she knows in her heart that Concubine Xie prefers her scheming, the palace is too responsible, and her biggest role by Concubine Xie Shufei is actually to give advice to her and deal with women in the palace. But now Xie Qing rushed out of a dark horse, with Xie Qing here, Concubine Xie Shu will soon focus her attention on her, so what is she Xie Ru.

So Xie Ru designed the birthday gift, wanting to borrow Xie Hui's hand to make Xie Qing lose face in front of Concubine Xie Shu, but in the end it failed.

"Auntie, Auntie, does she have anything to say to me?" Xie Ru asked. She was scared if her aunt knew that she was the one behind the design.

Xie Ru had too many questions, and Father-in-law De had to answer in general terms: "Well, Niangniang asked the eldest lady not to think too much, Niangniang hasn't seen Miss Fifth for many years, so I asked Miss Fifth to go to the palace to sit, as for how long, this slave is not clear." ”

Father-in-law De has always been tactful, and Xie Ru is obviously the princess prepared by Concubine Xie Shu for King Yi, so of course Father-in-law De does not want to offend Xie Ru, and he has always spoken politely. Besides, Concubine Xie just invited Xie Qing into the palace for a few days, which does not mean that Concubine Xie Shu does not like Xie Ru.

But Xie Ru didn't think so, she bit her lip tightly, only feeling that the slap hurt so much. She happily waited for Concubine Xie Shu to send someone to pass the word and let her enter the palace. Unexpectedly, what was waiting for was Gonggong De personally taking Xie Qing into the palace, which made her lose face.

"Grandmother, I'm a little unwell, so I'll go back to my room first." Xie Ru saluted Old Madam Xie, then covered her mouth and left quickly.

"Ru'er......" Li hurriedly called, but Xie Ru had already walked out of the door.

Old Madam Xie frowned slightly, "Li, you go and see Ru'er." ”

He smiled at Gonggong De again: "It just so happens that Ru'er has not been in good health recently, so it's better not to go to the palace." "Mrs. Xie feels sorry for Xie Ru, and she is afraid that she will lose face, so she has to help her say a few words.

Father-in-law De said with a smile: "The slave understands that the eldest lady must take good care of her body, otherwise the mother will also be distressed." He was telling Mrs. Xie that Concubine Xie didn't dislike Xie Ru, so let her relax.

Old Madam Xie is a shrewd person, and she immediately understood what Gonggong De meant, and she was immediately relieved, Xie Ru is the eldest daughter, and it is suitable for her to be Princess Yi.

"Father-in-law De, then why did my aunt summon the fifth sister into the palace?" Xie Qi didn't chase him out, she just wanted to ask why Xie Qing could enter the palace, in fact, what she wanted to say more was that since Concubine Shu did not summon Xie Ru into the palace, it should be her second daughter who entered the palace, how could it be Xie Qing's pitiful little pitiful. She thought that Mrs. Xie would ask, but after talking for so long, Mrs. Xie didn't say anything.

This question Mrs. Xie also wanted to ask, "Does Niangniang mean anything else?" "Old Madam Xie needs to figure out Concubine Shu's plans. Most of the daughters of a big family like the Xie family are going to be married, and Mrs. Xie estimated that it would be difficult for Concubine Xie Shu to have other plans.

Gonggong De shook his head with a smile and said: "What does Niangniang think in her heart, the slave doesn't know, but Niangniang said that the fifth lady is clever, and Niangniang looks like a clever one." ”

Old Madam Xie nodded: "Miss Qing is indeed articulate, smart and wise. "Being able to stumble the Ye family and make them fall hard, Old Madam Xie is also satisfied.

The Xie family is a real century-old family, from the beginning of the previous dynasty is a famous nobleman, and later the first emperor raised troops, overthrew the previous dynasty, and established Dayue, the Xie family has the merit of the dragon, and is still a family of nobles. Therefore, Mrs. Xie also looked down on the Ye family, and even more disliked Concubine Ye De in the palace, that woman from a small family actually dared to compete with Concubine Xie Shu for favor, and Mrs. Xie couldn't wait to tear up the Ye family. It just so happened that Xie Qing helped them out of this evil breath.

Only Xie Qi was unhappy, "Grandmother, you know that you are praising the fifth sister, isn't Qi'er smart?" In Xie Qi's eyes, Xie Qing is a pitiful little person with no sense of existence, and she can be bullied, but now Xie Qing has been praised by such people, which makes her very uncomfortable.

"Of course, Qi'er is also smart, and my grandmother likes it very much." Among all the granddaughters, Mrs. Xie liked Xie Qi the most, and hurriedly said with a smile.

Xie Qi was still dissatisfied: "Compared with the fifth sister, who is smarter?" ”

Old Madam Xie was dumbfounded, this doesn't seem to be comparable, they are all boudoir women who have not left the cabinet. Old Madam Xie thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Qi'er, you still can't eat it?" I'm not afraid of Father-in-law's jokes. ”

Father-in-law De hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The slave doesn't dare to laugh at Miss, old lady, the slave has to go back to serve the mother, it's better to hand over the fifth miss and leave." ”

This young lady of the Xie family is more worryless than the other, and Father-in-law De is worried that he will suffer, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, the old man has already sent someone to tell the girl, she is packing her things, and she will come over immediately." Old Madam Xie said with a smile.

After a short time, Xie Qing walked in and first saluted Mrs. Xie: "Qing'er has seen grandmother." He saluted Gonggong De again, "Gonggong De is good." ”

Father-in-law De nodded and smiled: "Ouch, the slave can't stand the gift of the fifth miss, the fifth miss has packed up, then let's go back to the palace, the mother is already waiting for you." ”

Xie Qing nodded, "Okay." He looked at Mrs. Xie again, "Grandmother, Qing'er has gone to the palace, and I ask my grandmother to take care of my mother more." ”

She was not by Lin's side and was quite worried.

Xie Qi said with a smile: "The fifth sister is really filial, but grandmother is an elder, and you actually let your grandmother take care of your mother, this is not in accordance with the rules." This is extremely sour, Xie Qi is jealous of Xie Qing, and always wants to find fault.

Xie Qing smiled lightly: "Grandmother is the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and the grandmother has the final say in the Hou Mansion, and of course my mother depends on my grandmother to take care of her." ”

"Grandmother is old, so who will take care of grandmother, why don't you care?"

"The second sister is too worried, doesn't grandmother have a second sister you? Shouldn't a man who is a descendant take care of his grandmother? Xie Qing's tone was light. Xie Qi, as a junior, should take care of Mrs. Xie.

"Okay, girl, don't worry, your mother will be fine, you can go to the palace quickly." Old Madam Xie hurriedly stood up and said.

Mrs. Xie said so, Xie Qing was relieved, she left Lingzhi and Caiyue to take care of the Lin family, Lingzhi was active, and she would never let the Lin family be bullied.

Xie Qing only took a small bend when she entered the palace, and when she left, Lingzhi asked her young lady with tears in her eyes if she didn't like her anymore, and she didn't take her when she went out. Xie Qing couldn't cry or laugh, Lingzhi's mouth is neat, and he is the best at dealing with people, but there are too many rules in the palace, and if he is not careful, he will get trouble out of his mouth, and it is right for Lingzhi not to go......

Xie Qi was ten thousand unhappy, and Mrs. Xie could see that after Xie Qing left, she had to persuade her a few words: "Qi'er, your aunt just asked Qing to live in the palace for a few days, is it difficult for you to still eat it." ”

"Grandmother, I ......," Xie Qi said hesitantly, "I'm just afraid that my aunt won't like me, and I won't like the eldest sister, so I like the fifth sister." ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xie smiled, "My silly child, how much your aunt likes you sisters since she was a child, as long as there are any good things to give, don't you and your eldest sister choose first, just go to live for a few days, it doesn't matter." Qi'er, you are the daughter of our Hou Mansion, your status is much higher than your fifth sister, and you are a sister, so you have to show your sister's demeanor. ”

Xie Qi was still a little unwilling in his heart, but in front of Mrs. Xie, he had to nod: "Qi'er knows, but Qi'er seems to be a little unhappy when she looks at the eldest sister." ”

Xie Ru's face was ugly, although she didn't cry in public, everyone knew that she must have gone back to cry.

Old Madam Xie's face stiffened slightly: "Ru'er, she ...... Qi'er, you come with me to take a look. ”

in the room

As soon as Xie Ru returned to his room, he drove all the subordinates out, and lay on the table and cried: "Xie Qing, why are you!" Why! ”

"Ru'er, Ru'er, what's wrong with you?" Li hurriedly stepped forward to comfort his daughter, "Ru'er, it's okay, what is Xie Qing, how can she be compared to you, don't be sad." ”

With tears still hanging on her face, Xie Ru said angrily: "Mother, I'm just afraid, aunt, she has always called me into the palace to accompany her, but now she has summoned Xie Qing into the palace, mother, do you think that Aunt Xie Qing is better and better than me." ”

Li hurriedly denied: "How is it possible? Ru'er, you are the most outstanding girl in our Hou Mansion, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, this appearance, this talent, are the top among the nobles in the capital, what will Xie Qing do, except for being articulate, there are no other advantages. Your aunt is not blind, how can she think that Xie Qing is better than you? ”
