Chapter 154: Gao Ying
Xie Songhua didn't recognize this person, but instinctively felt uncomfortable.
Although it was the first time she had participated in such an event, it was almost an instinctive reaction for the women to compare themselves with each other.
Let's look at the people here today, which one is not carefully dressed up?
Not to mention that it is the moment when the adult princes in the palace choose concubines, everyone is obviously a competitor, but she and Xie Shuhua were pushed to the forefront by a rumor.
And she is still a country man, in the eyes of these people, it is clear that a toad has eaten swan meat.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the target of public criticism.
Wouldn't this person suddenly set the tone of a beauty for her more and more jealous?
Sure enough, Xie Songhua immediately noticed the sight of all kinds of inquiries from all directions.
Over there, Gao Ying also came out of the crowd, although there was a warm smile on her face, but the scrutiny in her eyes was undisguised, "The fourth girl is here, it's really the first time I've seen you." ”
Xie Songhua is also the first time to see this big girl from the Gao family who has been active in the mouths of everyone.
Sure enough, it was only when I met that I realized how outstanding this leader in the circle of nobles was.
If it is only about appearance, Gao Ying may not be comparable to Xie Songhua or Xie Sihua.
Her facial features are relatively atmospheric, her body is also tall, and she has a bit of arrogance between her eyebrows, but it is not the arrogance in her character, but the natural quality that she has raised in a privileged environment since she was a child, which makes people feel alienated when they look at it.
Xie Songhua smiled and greeted her, but before she could speak, she heard her smile and say without smiling: "She is indeed a beauty, but she compares your third sister to you." ”
The expression on Xie Shuhua's face couldn't help but stiffen, although it sounded like Gao Ying had a better relationship with her, so there was no taboo, but in front of so many people, she was not very comfortable in front of so many people.
After speaking, he still didn't wait for the three sisters of the Xie family to speak, and added, "I heard the third cousin say, when I saw you in the palace a few years ago, your face was as bad as a pig's head, which scared the saint and several His Highnesses, I thought I would see a pockmarked face!" ”
This matter has long been spread, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have said such things after drinking, so that everyone in the capital would be watching Xie Songhua's jokes.
Speaking of which, she is really full of appetite, she has not yet appeared in the circle of nobles, and gossip is flying all over the sky.
As soon as Gao Ying opened her mouth to mention this, everyone looked at Xie Songhua with some expectation, wanting to see if this girl from the Xie family, who was quite legendary among them, would cry on the spot.
However, the person involved in the incident only smiled slightly embarrassedly, "I knew that the sister of the Gao family was ready, and I didn't have to be afraid of scaring people, so I didn't dare to go out until I had a good face." ”
A sentence was brought lightly, neither explaining why his face was rotten, nor making up for himself a sentence or two, and there was not even a trace of embarrassment on his face.
However, Gao Ying was stunned by her attitude for a moment, and then snorted, "You are calm." ”
Then he asked someone to lead them into a seat, and the girl who was very enthusiastic about Xie Songhua immediately smiled and pulled Xie Songhua to continue to praise, "I've heard about it, but now it seems that it is really exaggerated, the face of the fourth girl is simply more exquisite than that carved out of white jade!" ”
is such a compliment again, Xie Songhua was really a little uncomfortable, so he deliberately sighed heavily, "This sister don't praise anymore, I can't help but be proud if I praise again, this powder laughed off, but it was in vain that my maid wiped several layers in the morning." ”
After she said this, she was silent for a second or two, and then someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although it is a gathering of daughters in the boudoir, everyone has the psychology of comparison, and they all can't show their best side, and it's too late to cover up their flaws, how can someone say that they have smeared several layers of powder on their faces!
The Zhao girl also smiled embarrassedly, "Why are the four girls so funny!" ”
Xie Songhua said with a serious face: "I'm not afraid of losing my ugliness!" My grandmother had already told me that the banquet of the elder sister of the Gao family was almost the same as that of the Yaochi Immortal Society, and all of them were like fairies, so I was really nervous, so I had to assign this arduous task to my maid. ”
A young girl on the side asked suspiciously, "Difficult task?" ”
Xie Songhua pointed at himself from head to toe, "It's just to pick me up to meet the benchmark level of the Gao family's sister's party!" My two maids pondered all night last night!
On the way here, I didn't dare to move, I was afraid that my hair would be crooked, my clothes would be dirty, or the powder would be rubbed off. ”
"Hahahahaha, what are you talking nonsense?!"
"We're choreographing!"
"Where is it that you say so exaggerated!"
“……”
In the end, they are still a group of teenage girls, even if they are naturally a little hostile because of the matter of choosing a concubine, but Xie Songhua's self-deprecation immediately narrowed the distance between them and others.
When even a little girl with a round face greeted her, "Fourth girl of the Xie family, you can sit here!" ”
A soul who is almost thirty years old in the future has received so many pregnant women with different emotions, and Xie Songhua thinks that he can still handle this group of little girls who meet for the first time.
In the face of things that you don't understand, humbly asking for advice means that they are all carefully educated girls at home, and it is impossible to be mean and embarrassing when you are a guest at someone else's house.
Gao Ying looked at Xie Songhua, who was already talking to a few young girls over there, and then looked at Xie Shuhua with a bit of banter in her eyes.
"No wonder you are so unconfident, it seems that your sister who is from the countryside is really capable of beating her."
The expression on Xie Shuhua's face was a little stiff, and when she heard Gao Ying's words, she moved her thoughts back from Xie Songhua, and then sighed softly, "Who said it wasn't!" A mouth is more powerful than anyone else, and now our family spoils her up and down.
She wholeheartedly believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is orthodox, and will definitely be able to rise to prominence through the power of the Crown Prince in the future, and for this reason, my good father ......"
As she spoke, she suddenly stopped talking, and Gao Ying raised her eyebrows and said, "What?" Does your father think she's right? ”
Xie Shuhua shook his head with a bitter face and said: "My father never wanted to get involved in such a thing, but in the end, it was a long-lost daughter, and she was so worn that she couldn't do it, so she had to plan for her. ”
Whether it's Xie Shuhua or Xie Songhua, the so-called fate of them is just that, no one knows if it's true, but the Xie family behind them, Xie Ge Lao, is the force that needs to be fought for.
Xie Shuhua wouldn't be unaware of this, so Xie Yuncang must not be able to fight the prince of the team, and he must not like Xie Songhua more, otherwise, what is her value?
Gao Ying still looked at her with a casual smile on her face, and said after a while: "Between you and your sister who hugged the wrong person, I still lean towards you, let the third cousin marry a country woman as a concubine, even I am disgusted." ”
Gao Ying fiddled with the nails of her little thumb, frowned a little distressedly, and muttered, "It's a good raiser, but I broke it by eating chestnuts yesterday." ”
Xie Shuhua said that she just got a pair of finger sleeves inlaid with Nanyang beads, and Gao Ying waved her hand, "I still lack this?" ”
Only then did he continue: "To be honest, if you become successful in the future, it will also be my benefit to help you match you now." ”
"Sister Gao......" Xie Shuhua's face showed a bit of girlish shyness.
Gao Ying frowned slightly, "You don't know my temperament yet?" Since I said I want to help you, I will naturally help, and you don't have to twist and pinch here. ”
Xie Shuhua smiled and nodded, "I am always impressed by Sister Gao's straightforward nature. ”
These words pleased Gao Ying, and there was a bit of joy between her eyebrows, and she smiled and said loudly: "It's boring to sit down, why don't you sisters come together to have a good time?" ”
