Chapter 21: Rivals

The next day, as soon as the two sisters met, Xie Yunxi sulked.

Xie Mingxi wore a pink spring dress, her long hair was combed into a double bun, and a few strands of broken hair floated on the side of her ears. He didn't wear jewelry, only a light pink begonia.

The flowers are still dewdrops, and the fragrance fills the nose.

With a smile on his lips, the pear vortex is shallow, and the beauty is unparalleled.

Immediately compared her to the meticulously carved gold and jade!

It's infuriating!

What's even more infuriating is that Xie Mingxi blinked innocent eyes and showed a look of merit: "Second sister, I deliberately dressed plainly today, and I didn't even wear jewelry." Just lining your body full of gold and jade, delicate and moving. ”

Xie Yunxi: "......"

Xie Yunxi couldn't wait to throw away all the golden hairpins and hostas on his head.

Xie Mingxi asked knowingly: "Why is the second sister unhappy?" ”

Xie Yunxi had a stinky face, and the maids beside him helped him into the carriage.

Xie Mingxi smiled leisurely and got into the carriage unhurriedly.

Along the way, the roots of the ears were really clean.

……

Xie Yunxi, who was sulking all the way, was not in a good mood until he arrived outside the gate of Huainan Palace.

Xie Yunxi glanced at Xie Mingxi proudly: "The people who came to participate in the Wenhui today are all nobles in the capital. If it weren't for my light, how could you have a chance to enter and leave the Huainan Palace! ”

"When you enter the palace, you follow me honestly, don't walk around, and don't talk nonsense. So as not to be embarrassed and embarrassed. ”

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "Second sister should also remember her mother's advice." At today's literary meeting, the second sister must not write poems and paintings in public, lest her ordinary handwriting fall into people's eyes. In the future, if I want to write the college entrance examination for you, it will also cause people to be suspicious. ”

After speaking, he said sympathetically: "I heard that the second sister practices calligraphy every day and is quite diligent. However, my talent is limited, and no matter how I practice, I am far from being able to practice. ”

Xie Yunxi: "......"

I was choked up again and almost couldn't get up.

Xie Yunxi is arrogant by nature, how could he have suffered such idleness. From the morning to this moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, Huo Ran stood up: "Xie Mingxi......"

I forgot that I hadn't gotten out of the carriage yet.

"Eh!"

The top of the head slammed into the roof of the car.

The beautiful bun that took half an hour to comb was hit like this, and it was no longer smooth and flat.

Xie Yunxi was so tearful in pain that sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xie Mingxi glanced at it and laughed: "Second sister looks like this, today is really going to 'be in the limelight'!" ”

Xie Yunxi was so angry that she was about to cry!

The big girl Rouge outside the carriage heard that the movement was wrong, and immediately got into the carriage and sorted out Xie Yunxi's appearance. Xie Yunxi couldn't care about arguing with Xie Mingxi, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring the mirror." ”

At this moment, another carriage slowly arrived.

Xie Mingxi's eyes swept away, and then the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

It was such a coincidence that it was the carriage of the Li Mansion!

……

The Great Qi attached equal importance to civil and military affairs, and the military power was mostly concentrated in the hands of vassal kings and military generals, and the civilian officials were headed by cabinet ministers.

There are five elders in the Cabinet. Shoufu Lu Ge is highly respected and has great prestige in the court. Li Ge Lao was the second assistant of the dynasty, with many protΓ©gΓ©s and a good official reputation, second only to Lu Ge Lao.

Li Xiangru is outstanding in talent and good at piano skills. Among the granddaughters, Li Ge is the most favorite.

Back then, Concubine Li, the biological mother of the four princes, chose Li Xiangru, not only because of her talent and appearance, but also because of the Li family behind Li Xiangru.

Marriage is the fastest way to win over the Li family. The four princes ascended the throne as emperors, and Li Xiangru was named the queen of the main palace. The Li family was also promoted to the next generation. After Lu Ge became an old man, Li Ge naturally became the first assistant, and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition.

It's a pity that the Li family didn't end well in the end.

Emperor Jianwu, who was unsympathetic and suspicious, was quite jealous of Li Gelao, who was the first assistant. After enduring it for a few years, after sitting on the throne, he began to act against the Li family.

Li Xiangru, who is in the middle palace, has naturally become the target of eradication.

If it weren't for Emperor Jianwu's acquiescence and connivance, how could she, a concubine without family support, defeat the queen of the Middle Palace?

Because she peeked into Emperor Jianwu's mind and did what Emperor Jianwu wanted to do but was inconvenient to do, she really got Emperor Jianwu's other eyes. Leave all the palace affairs in her hands.

……

The old enemy who died at her hands in her previous life, who was only an eleven-year-old girl at this time, got out of the carriage with the support of the maid.

A goose egg face, with fair and delicate skin, under the slender willow-like eyebrows, is a pair of bright black eyes like autumn water, wearing a blue robe. It is not the color of the country and the city, but it is also beautiful.

The brilliance is exposed, and the demeanor is calm.

In terms of appearance alone, Xie Yunxi is more delicate than Li Xiangru.

In terms of bearing, Li Xiangru is a step ahead of Xie Yunxi.

Xie Yunxi and Li Xiangru naturally knew each other for a long time, and glanced at them with jealousy, and snorted lightly with disdain: "Pretend to be all day long!" ”

At the moment of "foreign enemies", Xie Yunxi has no leisure to be angry with Xie Mingxi anymore, half reminding and half warning: "She is Li Xiangru." I've always been at odds with her, and you're not going to pay attention to her later, do you hear? ”

Xie Mingxi didn't answer and asked: "What does the second sister have with her?" ”

Queen Li and Concubine Yun, who swore to be inseparable in the future, were still half-grown girls who had not grown up at this time. They are pampered in the boudoir, and they only have the opportunity to meet when they go out as guests, what kind of hatred can they have?

It's nothing more than Li Xiangru's family background is outstanding, and he is sought after everywhere he goes, which makes the cautious Xie Yunxi envious and jealous.

Sure enough, Xie Yunxi didn't say half a word for a long time, and snorted heavily: "In short, just do what I say." ”

Xie Mingxi smiled and got out of the carriage with Xie Yunxi.

"It turned out to be Sister Xie," Li Xiangru greeted with a smile, looking down-and-out.

Xie Yunxi refused to lose the battle, and smiled reservedly: "Today is a coincidence, I actually went to the palace with Sister Li." ”

Li Xiangru swept Xie Mingxi's face, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I don't know who this girl is?" It's so face-to-face! ”

The nobles of the capital, there are few people Li Xiangru does not know.

The girl in front of her, although she is young, has never seen her beauty before.

Xie Mingxi smiled slightly: "I am the youngest daughter of the Xie family, and my name is Mingxi." ”

It turned out to be the daughter of the Xie family.

Li Xiangru's attitude was suddenly a little cold, nodded slightly, and stepped into the Huainan Palace.

There is a difference.

Li Xiang is like a long-term concubine, and the people who come and go on weekdays are all beautiful ladies or nobles of the clan. I don't care to call a sister and sister with a concubine.

Xie Yunxi gloated and glanced at Xie Mingxi, who was being ignored with contempt: "Look, others don't want to pay attention to you at all when they hear that you are a concubine." ”

Xie Mingxi smiled faintly: "At this time, she doesn't want to pay attention to me, and in the future, there will always be a day when she regrets it." When the time comes, they will kneel and beg each other, and I will not pay attention to them. ”

Xie Yunxi: "......"

Even she didn't dare say that.

Where did Xie Mingxi get the confidence and confidence to be so ashamed?
