Chapter 18: He Haiyao
It is really true to say that He Hailan is not interested in the scenery in the eldest princess's mansion, as a movie queen, the place where He Hailan has stayed for the longest time is the crew, and the scenery she has seen is countless, she has almost seen the palace in thousands of years of history, in addition to these, she also often sets foot in foreign palace ruins and film and television cities, so she really won't feel new about everything here like a hillbilly who has just entered the city.
At most, it feels familiar.
Of course, it is impossible for He Hailan to say it in front of so many people, just let He Haiyao say that, anyway, she is just said that she has never seen the world, and she will not lose a piece of meat.
The county lord of Xici beckoned everyone to drink tea and eat dim sum, and everyone praised the dim sum master in the eldest princess's mansion while eating dim sum.
The county lord of Xici smiled: "I am also stained with the light of the imperial grandmother, and this pastry chef was specially selected by the imperial grandmother from the imperial kitchen for me." ”
When He Hailan heard this, she picked up a small piece of dim sum and took a bite, the dim sum entrance, she quietly put down the dim sum, took a sip of tea, I don't know if it was because she rarely ate desserts in order to maintain her figure, or because this dessert was too sweet, she didn't dare to compliment, He Hailan decided not to waste food, she still sat obediently, and thought about how to go to the lake.
Although He Hailan's movements were very hidden, they were still discovered by the county lord of Xici, and she obviously saw He Hailan frowning, this is disgusted that the dim sum in their eldest princess's mansion is not delicious!
She, a person who has just recovered from a long illness, dares to dislike their eldest princess's mansion like this!
If it weren't for her cousin-in-law's face, she would definitely make this He Hailan look good now!
The county lord of Xici originally wanted to observe He Hailan for a while, but at this time, Li Yueji, the granddaughter of the Ministry of Works, came over and talked to the county lord of Xici, Li Yueji is a well-known talented woman in the capital, and she is refreshing, and the county lord of Xici has a similar temperament and is a very good friend, and the two can be said to be handkerchiefs, so the county lord of Xici naturally left He Hailan behind and went to chat with his friends.
He Haiyao has been paying attention to He Hailan's performance today, seeing that He Hailan not only did not make a fool of herself, but she didn't even make a little mistake, she frowned, and carefully recalled the things about He Hailan in the previous life, obviously feeling that He Hailan was a little different this time, when He Hailan saw the eldest princess in the previous life, she had already provoked the disgust of the eldest princess because of her timidity and cowardice.
But although He Hailan did not get the praise of the eldest princess today, she did not dislike the eldest princess.
And this Xici county lord is not the kind of person who will be provoked by anyone casually... He Haiyao set his eyes on He Haixing's body, does He Haixing have to pretend to be a good person today?
After a few cups of tea, He Hailan got up and sat on the guardrail next to the gazebo to look at the depth of the lake.
There is no one around He Haiyao and He Haiting, but she has long been used to it, she is not the same as He Haixing, He Haixing has a father who will be Jin Anhou in the future, and a sister who is the crown princess, and there are naturally people who are sought after around her, and she only has a father who is a county guard.
This status is very different, so in the eyes of other nobles, she is naturally not as important as He Haixing.
Seeing He Haixing being held by the stars in the center of the crowd, He Haiyao got up and walked to He Hailan and sat down, and asked softly, "What is the fifth sister looking at?" ”
He Hailan glanced back at He Haiyao, and then put her eyes on the lake, "I'm looking at the lotus flowers all over the lake, it's so beautiful." ”
He Haiyao smiled, she looked at He Hailan's dress today, "No matter how beautiful it is, it is not as good as you." ”
He Hailan glanced back at He Haiyao when she heard this, He Haiyao reached out to hold He Hailan's hand, looked at He Haixing who was surrounded by people not far away, and said with a smile, "However, no matter how beautiful you are the fifth sister, no matter how hard I try, it is not as good as the fourth sister to have a good background." ”
He Hailan raised her eyebrows, she glanced at He Haiyao, and smiled slightly, "We are also the granddaughters of the Marquis of Jin'an." ”
Besides, He Haixing is also a talented woman.
"However, there is only one prince of Jin'an, and only the son of the prince will inherit the title in the future." He Haiyao had a faint smile on his face, "You said that the eldest uncle is already a member of the third grade, and..."
He Haiyao stopped suddenly, she glanced at He Hailan, and said, "I said something that shouldn't be said, fifth sister, you forget it." ”
He Hailan had already roughly understood the meaning of He Haiyao's words, she really didn't expect that she, the third sister, would be so breathless!
He said such things in front of her.
Was she sure she wouldn't say it, or...
"Third sister, what are you talking about?" He Hailan gave full play to his spirit as an actor and looked at He Haiyao innocently, "The eldest uncle is the eldest son of his grandfather, who should inherit the title, besides, although the eldest uncle is a member of the third grade, it is also his own hard work, is there any conflict between this and his inheritance of the title?" ”
He Haiyao was stunned, and it took a while for her to pull the corners of her mouth, "Fifth sister, you're right, it's the third sister who is narrow-minded, don't take it to heart." ”
He Hailan smiled, ignored He Haiyao, and continued to look at the lotus flowers in the lake.
How could she fall into the lake quietly without being discovered so quickly?
Moreover, if you can swim, you can hold your breath in the water for three minutes, so you have to hold it for three minutes...
At this time, Bi'er came over, she blessed He Hailan, and said softly, "Miss, the second miss has arrived, now let the maid come over and ask you to come over to talk." ”
He Hailan responded, got up and walked to the county lord of Xici to explain the reason, and said goodbye, He Haixing took advantage of this gap to ask He Hailan if he needed to accompany him, He Hailan thanked He Haixing for his kindness, and politely refused: "No need, the second sister's maid is here, the fourth sister, you can play with your friends." ”
He Haixing was not reluctant, the county lord of Xici randomly pointed to a maid to send He Hailan, He Hailan originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that they might be afraid that something would happen to them, so they let people follow, He Hailan no longer refused, and after thanking the county lord of Xici, he left the pavilion with the two maids.
He Haixing watched He Hailan's back gradually disappear, and then he withdrew his gaze and chatted with his friend.
At this time, He Haiyao suddenly stood up and walked outside the pavilion, He Haiting was startled by He Haiyao's sudden movements, she stood up and stretched out her hand to pull He Haiyao, and asked urgently, "Third sister, where are you going?" ”
He Haiting's voice was not loud, only the two sisters could hear it.
He Haiyao glanced at the wall and window on the other side of the lake, and said in a low voice, "I haven't seen the second sister for a long time, and I want to go with the fifth sister to meet the second sister." ”
He Haiting still wanted to speak, but He Haiyao interrupted her words to her throat in a deep voice, "You are here with your fourth sister, and we will be back in a while." ”
After He Haiyao finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and tore away He Haiting's hand, and went to tell the Xici County Lord, who frowned and glanced at He Haiyao, "I'll let the maid send you over." ”
He Haiyao smiled and declined: "Fifth sister, they definitely haven't gone far, I'll just chase after them quickly." ”
The county lord of Xici frowned, and was about to speak, when He Haiyao said again: "Haiyao is already a supreme honor to be able to come to the eldest princess's mansion today to reward the lotus, how dare you trouble the county lord." ”
The county lord of Xici frowned, and finally could only nod, "You can go back directly from the road we came from, and they shouldn't have gone far." ”
He Haiyao responded with a smile and turned to leave the pavilion.
