Chapter 18: The Stolen Clothes

As soon as these words came out, Xie Linlang's expression became even more distorted.

She stared at the box tightly, snatched it away unexpectedly, and snorted: "Xie Yanwan, let me tell you, don't think that you can go sideways at home if you please your father, in my eyes, you are still a slut who is not even as good as a subordinate!" ”

Seeing Xie Linlang leave with the box in his arms, Xie Yanwan inexplicably evoked a sneer.

Slut?

Xie Linlang, then you, a nobleman, should enter the palace with your clothes dressed well, don't let me down.

In the middle of the night, it snowed, and the snow particles pounded on the screen window, adding to the coldness in the room.

Xie Yanwan guarded against Feng Qizhi's sneak attack, and kept staring at the window vigilantly, but she didn't want to, until her sleepiness hit at dawn, Feng Qizhi didn't come.

Early the next morning, the snow melted and the sun rose.

Shredded sunlight poured into the room through the cracks in the window, and the sky and the earth were bright.

Hearing the knock of the maid outside the door, Xie Yanwan yawned in a daze, remembering that he was going to enter the palace today, and immediately got up and dressed.

Yesterday, she went out to buy clothes with Mama Li, although something happened later, but the clothes were bought in the end.

Seeing the bright colors in the cupboard, Xie Yanwan frowned, and only then did he pick out a set of plain colors from it.

The palace dress of Liuyun dark brocade is covered with a soft fox cloak, and the big hood only shows her palm-sized face. The big-eyed cat is round, the nose is small, the cherry lips are pink, and the face is white and snowy, but it is not sharp, and it is harmless.

Seeing such a dress, Rao is wonderful book and wonderful painting is Xiao Nian's person, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart, this eldest lady is really a good color.

It's just that in an instant, the admiration is replaced by sneering, no matter how good it is, what's the use, isn't it even inferior to them?

Xie Yanwan took in the expressions of the two, picked up the vermilion pen, tapped it on his eyebrows, and then looked at himself in his glasses with satisfaction, and turned around and walked outside.

A little cinnabar mole is full of beauty style.

When they arrived in the front hall, Xiao Nian and Xie Linlang were talking this. As she expected, Xie Linlang really couldn't help but wear that set of clothes, but her figure was plumper than Xie Yanwan, and when she wore it, she looked more and more delicate and graceful, which made people think about it.

If Xie Linlang is a rich flower in a greenhouse, then Xie Yanwan at this moment is like a valley orchid, so beautiful and harmless, but people can't bear to look away.

A trace of jealousy flashed in Xie Linlang's eyes, and after seeing the material of her clothes, she suddenly evoked a smug smile: "The eldest sister got up really late, but the wind and snow were too big last night, didn't she sleep well?" ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan smiled slightly, gave Xiao Nian a salute, and said, "Last night's snow was indeed a little disturbing, but the second sister looked very good, I want to sleep peacefully last night." ”

Is this sarcasm that she has no heart and lungs?

Xie Linlang suffered a secret loss, gritted his teeth and was just about to speak, when he saw Xie Xiaoyao walking in from outside the door.

"Greetings to my father."

"Sir."

Xie Xiaoyao nodded, his eyes fell on Xie Yanwan's body, and he couldn't help but feel more and more satisfied. This girl was ignored by herself in the past, but she didn't want to be a piece of jade, but now this jade is about to shine, but after passing the queen's pass today, he has another noble person in the Xie family!

It's just that when he looked at Xie Linlang again, his eyes were slightly cold.

This set of clothes was sent by Fengqi's order yesterday.

"Late."

Xie Xiaoyao frowned, Xie Yanwan knew what he was going to say, shook his head imperceptibly, and said softly: "Father, are we going to go?" ”

Seeing Xie Yanwan's forbearant expression, what else did Xie Xiaoyao not understand? When he looked at Xie Linlang again, Xie Xiaoyao's eyes were a little more unhappy.

It's just that Xie Yanwan's words reminded him that it was not too early at this time, if he really had a seizure and asked Xie Linlang to change his clothes, it would delay the time to enter the palace.

Thinking of this, Xie Xiaoyao didn't speak, but said, "Well, let's go." ”

Although he didn't say anything, the anger did not escape Xiao Nian's eyes.

Xiao Nian was inexplicably a little uneasy in her heart, and after getting into the carriage, she immediately grabbed Xie Linlang's hand and asked in a low voice: "Linlang, where did you get this dress, why has your mother never seen it?" ”

Xie Linlang didn't want to be in the same car with Xie Yanwan, so the Xie family drove two carriages together.

It's okay that she didn't ask this, but as soon as she asked, Xie Linlang immediately poured bitter water towards Xiao Nian: "Mother, this set of clothes was made by my father for Xie Yanwan in private, and I happened to bump into it yesterday, so I snatched it." Hmph, that little slut, how can you deserve this outfit! ”

She was angry about this outfit, but Xiao Nian thought of something deeper.

Today's palace banquet, Xie Xiaoyao did not Xie Yanwan tailor-made such a set of gorgeous clothes, in order to make her stand out in the palace, and then be noticed by the queen, right?

Could it be that he intended to send Xie Yan to stay in the East Palace at night?!

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Nian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his face became gloomy.

The Xiao family supports the second prince, Xiao Nian is clear, she had also wooed Xie Xiaoyao before, and asked him to express his position to the second prince. But Xie Xiaoyao just prevaricated, showing that he wanted the golden mean, and kept saying that it was to protect their mother and daughter.

It's ridiculous that she actually believed it, and now it seems that Xie Xiaoyao has already had his own plans, right?

Thinking of this, the expression on Xiao Nian's face became more and more ugly.

Xie Yanwan naturally didn't know that her set of clothes made Xiao Nian discover the truth by mistake, she just hugged Tang Pozi and squinted comfortably to take a nap in the carriage.

Last night, she was afraid that Feng Qi would snatch her bed, and she didn't want this guy to come all night, Xie Yanwan was inexplicably a little lost.

Could it be that something happened to him?

Thinking of this, Xie Yanwan suddenly snorted a few times in his heart, that old demon has always been a scourge for thousands of years, so it's no wonder that something can happen.

The carriage traveled all the way, and when it reached the gate of the palace, it stopped.

Xie Yanwan looked at the bright yellow building and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In her previous life, she had also been to the Forbidden City, but how could the building that had experienced a hundred years of wind and rain compare to its current momentum?

Towering, solemn.

On both sides stood the Imperial Forest Army, dressed in armor and holding weapons, standing there majestically, ten steps apart, protecting the safety of the city.

Xie Yanwan followed Xie Xiaoyao and the others all the way, and the admiration in his heart became more and more. Crossing the small bridge through the corridor, the scenery seen all the way is exquisite, and the strange flowers and plants are lined up with rockeries, which is even more fascinating.

It's no wonder that these nobles always have to be superior, and women in the world yearn for the palace, this kind of scenery is indeed extraordinary.

It's just that the more such a deep palace backyard, the more the darkness of invisible people is hidden.

You don't see it, the tall buildings are towering, and the dry bones are buried. In the backyard of the deep palace, red face and white hair.

According to the convention, Xie Xiaoyao is a foreign minister and is not allowed to enter the queen's Fengyi Palace, so when he walked to the fork, he explained a few words and went to the Qianqing Palace. Only Xiao Nian was left to take his two daughters to Fengyi Palace.

Because he was in the palace, although Xiao Nian hated Xie Yanwan, he didn't say anything, but he didn't say anything: "When you get to the queen, don't lose your etiquette." ”

She wished that Xie Yanwan would be ugly, but outside, Xie Yanwan was always a member of the Xie family, and if something went wrong, she would laugh at her for her lack of upbringing.

After all, stepdaughters are also daughters.

Hearing this, Xie Yanwan responded in a low voice, and did not make that respectful appearance. Anyway, even if she was submissive, Xiao Nian wouldn't believe it.

When a maid lifted the curtain, a hot wind struck, alternating between hot and cold, which made people can't help but get goosebumps.

The hall was particularly lively, and the sound of laughter and laughter came from time to time, Xie Yanwan took the moment to look up and look at the people in the hall quietly.

In the center of the main seat sat a woman, dressed in a silk brocade dress with a peony pattern with gold buttons, and a dark silk pleated satin skirt under it, and a face lightly powdered to bring out her good color.

This woman has a very good life, although she is in her early forties, there is no trace of time on her face, and there is a smile on the corner of her lips, but she is not angry and arrogant. The whole body is even more noble of the superior, and it is the biological mother of the crown prince Shangguan Hanye, the queen Zhou.

Xiao Nian walked over first, and saluted with Xie Linlang: "The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." ”

Xie Yanwan behind him also saluted according to his words, and his face was always low, so that people couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Because of Xiao Nian's identity, the ladies of those families also stood up and saluted her: "I've seen the county lord." ”

After everyone had seen the ceremony, the queen smiled and said: "Anping, who is this girl, why has this palace never seen it before?" ”

As soon as she said this, several eyes fell on Xie Yanwan in an instant.

If she didn't say it, the people present would have symbolically ignored it, but the queen just mentioned it.

Xiao Nian secretly hated the queen for mentioning Xie Yanwan's identity at this time, and was even more sure of the relationship between Xie Xiaoyao and the prince, and said with a loving smile on her face: "Back to the queen, this is the eldest daughter of her husband, who has been fostered in the clan since she was a child, and she only picked it up some time ago. ”

As soon as her voice fell, she heard Concubine Jing beside the queen covering her mouth and laughing: "This Xie family's family is also a little ignorant, how can you foster an eldest daughter in the countryside?" ”

Xie Xiaoyao's hometown is in Shandong, occupying an entire county, although it is not considered a country, but he did not send his daughter over.

Now that I heard Concubine Jing say, the expressions of the other people present instantly became meaningful.

After all, these people are all clear, when Xiao Nian married Xie Xiaoyao, their wife had only been dead for less than two months.

And Xie Linlang, the county lord of Jingmin, was born six months after Xiao Nian got married.

The anecdote of this was discussed many times in private at the time.

Feeling the gaze around her, Xiao Nian's eyes became more and more embarrassed, but she still maintained her smile and replied: "The elders of the clan like to be late, if it weren't for the fact that she was fifteen and couldn't delay her in-laws, I'm afraid that she would still be reluctant to let Wan'er come back, but let Concubine Jing see the joke." ”
