Chapter 9 Take the initiative to make friends
In her previous life, before the eldest princess of Chengguo lost power, He Xiaoxiao's status among the daughters of the boudoir of the same age in the imperial capital was almost like the stars holding the moon.
He Xiaoxiao's background and appearance are invincible, and he is connived at by the eldest princess of Chengguo, and he has always been arrogant.
But since beating his mother and losing power, and being freely promised by the queen, those people who are very affectionate to their sisters and sisters in Su Rili will never be seen again.
So after seeing those people in this life, He Xiaoxiao is just maintaining a polite face, most of them have good family backgrounds, and they are already on their mother's invitation list, so they don't need to add more.
He Xiaoxiao shook his head and didn't take the list, but when the princess was about to instruct the maids around her to prepare the name post for inviting guests, He Xiaoxiao raised her hand as if she thought of something.
"Mother, add Wang Mingzhu."
In her previous life, when many daughters made fun of He Xiaoxiao for losing her status as a princess and being angry with the queen and marrying at will, only Wang Mingzhu, who was not familiar with her, came forward to talk to He Xiaoxiao.
"You're talking about the Queen Pearl of Hongjia Temple? The Wang family has only been transferred home for more than a month, and his daughters have not yet gone out to walk and socialize, how do you recognize her? Although the eldest princess of Chengguo added Wang Mingzhu's name according to He Xiaoxiao, she still had doubts.
"Mother, Wang Mingzhu's elder brother, the eldest son of the Wang family, like his elder brother, is now reading with His Royal Highness." He Xiaoxiao said with a smile. "I invited her for my brother's sake."
"I just remembered when you said that." The eldest princess of Chengguo gently touched her face. "It's rare that you still know how to worry about these things for your brother, the Wang family came back at the beginning, Miss Wang should not have any acquaintances in the imperial capital, and when people come to the house, you have to entertain people well."
He Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile, hugged the arm of the eldest princess of Chengguo, and simply leaned into her arms.
"You're twelve, why are you embarrassed to look like such a child." said so, but the eldest princess of Chengguo did not let go of He Xiaoxiao's hand.
"I'm still young." He Xiaoxiao leaned on the warm and fragrant arms of the eldest princess of Chengguo. "I'd rather never grow up for the rest of my life and just be with my mother."
"On weekdays, when you are in the Chengenhou Mansion and don't want to come back, that's what you said to your grandmother and eldest sister." The eldest princess of Chengguo twisted the tip of her nose.
"My grandmother and eldest sister are kind to me, and I naturally like them too." He Xiaoxiao buried her head in her mother's arms and hummed lovingly. "But my mother is the first in my heart, and no one can compare to it."
"Flim tongue, you only know how to coax me." The eldest princess of Chengguo counted on her lips, but her heart was warmed by her daughter. "For the flower-viewing banquet in five days, remember to call your eldest sister to come over in advance."
"Good!"
The day before the flower-viewing banquet, He Xiaoxiao specially used the carriage of the eldest princess's mansion to pick up He Yun from the Chengenhou Mansion.
"Sister!"
Before the carriage stopped, He Wan had already heard He Xiaoxiao calling her outside.
After the curtain of the car was lifted by the maid, she saw He Xiaoxiao standing outside the door of the mansion.
"Why aren't you waiting for me inside?" He Wan was helped out of the carriage and walked in front of He Xiaoxiao, she touched He Xiaoxiao's slightly cool cheek. "It's not the first time I've been here."
The two sisters came together to greet the eldest princess of Chengguo, and the eldest princess of Chengguo turned around from a pile of clothes and jewelry, and looked at the pair of sisters who looked like each other although they were not from the same mother.
"Come here with Xiao Xiao." The eldest princess of Chengguo has never cared about money, and the fiefdom under her name is the best among the eldest princesses of this dynasty. "The clothes I made for you, and the Ruyi Pavilion also sent the new jewelry recently, you come and pick out some you like, and take the rest of the clothes away, you are almost at the age of marriage, and I will give you makeup."
The temporary stubbornness in the heart of the eldest princess of Chengguo was relieved by the queen mother, and He Yun has always respected herself, and she really loves He Xiaoxiao, her half-sister.
It was an accident a while ago, when Crazy Horse might crash into the unconscious He Xiaoxiao, it was He Yun who rushed forward desperately and blocked He Xiaoxiao with his body.
"Mother, that's too much." He Wan looked in the direction of the finger of the eldest princess of Chengguo, and there were more than ten plates of gold and silver jewelry shining there.
"Good boy, you have a great future in the future." The eldest princess of Chengguo said. "If you don't like these things, it's good to keep them and reward them later."
On the second day, He Yun and He Xiaoxiao dressed up and accompanied the eldest princess of Chengguo to meet the guests.
"Why don't you see Duchess Fang Guo and Liao Qing?" When the guests arrived, He Wan asked He Xiaoxiao in a low voice. "Did my mother not send the post?"
"Sister Liao has a red rash all over her face, it is said that it has not disappeared until now, and she may miss this draft, at this juncture, Duchess Fang Guo is probably not in the mood to go out." He Xiaoxiao also lowered his voice and replied.
"Huh?" He Wan asked suspiciously. "Why is it at this time?"
"Who knows." He Xiaoxiao pretended to spread his hands helplessly. "Probably it's bad luck, just like me, I went out to play and broke my head. Okay, don't mention her, sister. ”
"Okay, let's go inside."
The peonies in the garden of the mansion of the eldest princess of Chengguo are in full bloom, and there are many famous varieties in the imperial capital, and there are only in the garden of the mansion of the princess of Chengguo.
The ladies who came to the banquet were not interested in this, but the girls who came to the banquet liked a lot, and groups of three or five were all around the garden to enjoy the flowers and talk.
He Yun accompanied He Xiaoxiao to socialize in the garden pavilion, and after a while, the light red beside the eldest princess of Chengguo sent a girl with round cheeks.
"I've seen the eldest lady and the second miss." Pale Red led the girl into the pavilion. "This is Miss Wang, the daughter of the Qing family of Hongjia Temple, because Miss Wang is the first time to come to His Royal Highness's mansion, His Royal Highness specially ordered the slave maid to send Miss Wang over, and told the two young ladies to be well entertained."
"Okay, I got it." He Xiaoxiao took the initiative to get up and stepped forward and held Wang Mingzhu's hand.
Wang Mingzhu has only been in the imperial capital with his family for two months, and he almost doesn't know the people in this garden, and he is nervous in his heart, He Xiaoxiao has already taken her and sat together.
"This is my sister - He Yun, she is sixteen years old." He Xiaoxiao affectionately pulled Wang Mingzhu to introduce her. "My name is He Xiaoxiao, I am twelve years old this year, how old are you?"
"My name is Wang Mingzhu, and I am thirteen years old this year." Wang Mingzhu said a little shyly.
"Then if you call my sister, you can call me Sister Wan." He Xiaoxiao said with a smile. "As for me, just call me Xiaoxiao."
