Chapter 151: Pretending to be stupid
I don't know where it came from, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very dissatisfied with Xie Songhua, and even when she was drunk, she said that Xie Songhua's robbery was a rumor that she tossed out herself.
Now that the New Year is approaching, the pen has been sealed in the yamen, and everyone has a lot of time to visit relatives and friends outside, and gather for dinner and fun in groups of three or five.
As soon as such news came out, it naturally quickly reached the ears of the Xie family.
Old Madam Xie was very angry, but she didn't dare to say half a word to the outside world, the prince was not here.
Xie Songhua has not been allowed to go out because of the rash on his face, even for the Chinese New Year, he just sat down and returned to the banquet platform, but ate a hot dumpling with the maids in the yard.
Xie Songhua celebrated the New Year in this ancient period for the first time, and he didn't really participate in it, which is also a little regrettable, but it can also save a lot of faces that he doesn't want to see.
The rash on Xie Songhua's face was finally cured, and when she went back to Shou'an Hall to ask for peace for the first time, the old lady still left her behind.
"You've been recuperating in your yard lately, and I haven't heard of any news outside."
After the old lady said this, she fell silent again, as if she did not know what to say later.
Xie Songhua smiled faintly and said, "My granddaughter has heard about it." ”
In Mrs. Xie's surprised eyes, Xie Songhua smiled helplessly: "Aunt Lan in my yard will go back to her house every day, and there are some relatives and friends who come and go this year. ”
In other words, this matter has not only spread in the circle of nobles, but also in the circle of subordinates.
There was two points of pity on Mrs. Xie's face, "Good boy, you don't have to worry, these nonsense may be just the nonsense of others, not necessarily His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise Niangniang will say that she likes you so much." ”
Xie Songhua was not shocked as Mama Ying had taught, and still nodded with a light smile, "Yes!" ”
She looked so unmoved, and the old lady felt that she was not very embarrassed, and she always felt that Xie Songhua looked like she was discussing something with her about something that had nothing to do with herself.
"Then there are no outsiders at the moment, you don't have to be nervous with your grandmother, you can tell your grandmother, what is your impression of His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Xie Songhua seemed to be a little embarrassed when he heard this, and it took a long time before he said: "I, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks like." ”
Old Madam Xie was stunned when she heard this, "Haven't you seen it twice?" ”
"Mama Ying said, the real lady is beautiful, when you see a foreign man, you should know the shame in your heart, and take the initiative to avoid it, although it is not easy to avoid it in the palace, but the granddaughter does not dare to fall into the door of the Xie family, so she just lowers her head every time, and does not see the true face of His Royal Highness."
Old Madam Xie was so shocked by her words that she didn't know what to say.
Whether this four girls really don't know or pretend not to know, even if due to the current situation, the elders in the family didn't explain it directly to her, but basically everyone in the house knows about it, can't she not know it herself?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie suddenly discovered a very serious matter.
Maybe Xie Songhua really doesn't know the key here.
After all, the Qi family is not close to her, and her son never cares about the affairs of the inner courtyard, Xie Songhua has only a few maids in front of her, and she has always managed it well, and it is estimated that no one dares to chew such a tongue in front of her......
Old Madam Xie couldn't help but want to hold her forehead, so she could only ask tentatively again: "Then do you know that the palace intends to choose concubines for several adult princes?" ”
Xie Songhua was really at a loss, "Could it be ...... Are we going to participate? ”
Old Madam Xie was speechless, so she waved her hand for a long time and muttered, "That's it, you go back first!" We'll talk about that later. ”
Xie Songhua came out of the old lady's house with a blank and worried look, and then turned around and went to Xie Di's house.
After the maids were all sent away, Xie Songhua told her about the conversation between himself and the old lady.
Xie Di's eyes widened in disbelief, "You...... You're pretending to be stupid in front of your grandmother? ”
Xie Songhua shrugged his shoulders, "I didn't talk nonsense, from beginning to end, only you told me these things, if it weren't for you, wouldn't I be in the dark at this time?"
Since you want to manipulate me, you should spread it out and make it clear, so that I will be filled in unconsciously and unconsciously, but it can't be. ”
Xie Songhua has actually been waiting for this day, and the Xie family seems to have discussed it, and wants to send her and Xie Shuhua out one by one, but no one told her.
If she is really the original owner, without anyone telling her, the affairs of the Gao family and the Zhao family may not be able to understand it, and speaking of which, it can really be regarded as being sold unconsciously. ”
But why?
Even if she is sold to the royal family, it is still sold, shouldn't she fight for something for herself?
Xie Di probably understood what she meant, and there were some emotions in his eyes that Xie Songhua couldn't understand, but they flashed with blazing light.
"Fourth sister," she held Xie Songhua's hand, "you will definitely have a good life in the future." ”
Xie Songhua didn't know why she said such a sentence for no reason, but she still said calmly: "I don't think that marrying those princes of the royal family is a good destination, but I will definitely be able to live well." ”
The two sisters finally looked at each other and smiled, and said no more.
When I went back, I met Xie Shuhua on the road.
After coming out of the palace that day, Xie Songhua hadn't seen her for a long time.
To be precise, they haven't seen each other again for a long time, except for the day they entered the palace together.
Today's Xie Shuhua seems to be a little different from before, she still knows how to dress up like that, and the clothes and jewelry on her body seem to be a lot more expensive, but the whole person is a little less weak and sad than before, but she is a lot more confident, and she has a little more dignified taste when she walks.
In addition, during the Chinese New Year, the clothes on his body are two more joyful than usual, and he looks even more rich and compelling.
When she saw Xie Songhua, she first smiled and said hello, "I heard that my grandmother left my fourth sister to talk, in the end, my grandmother still likes my fourth sister." ”
Xie Songhua just glanced at her, "If the third sister is dissatisfied, just go and tell your grandmother directly." ”
Xie Shuhua didn't see any annoyance on her face, she just smiled and waved her hand, "What's there to fight about?" People's hearts are like this, you were originally a girl from the Xie family, and it is also appropriate for your grandmother and her old man to kiss you. ”
This tone didn't even sound sour, Xie Songhua was really a little surprised, "I see that the third sister's body is much better now." ”
Xie Shuhua didn't know why she suddenly changed the topic, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, and before she could speak, she heard Xie Songhua continue: "I saw the sky running out, and I didn't see the wind and cold or anything, I heard that the third sister was a beauty lamp who saw the wind fall down." ”
The expression on Xie Shuhua's face stiffened a little.
Since the last time she entered the palace, she has been going out to socialize everywhere during this time, some of them have followed the Qi family to other dignitaries and nobles as guests, and some of them have received posts from other noble ladies from other high-ranking mansions to get together.
Hengzhi is active in a large number of high gates, and he frequently meets with the three princes and others, and has spoken to the three princes several times.
Many people have secretly regarded her as the third princess, and for Xie Shuhua, this period of time is her happiest day after Xie Songhua comes back.
was ridiculed by Xie Songhua like this now, and after the initial annoyance, he soon got better again, "You don't have to be so sour, in fact, your good days are coming soon?" ”
