Chapter 256 Cover your mouth
Xia Ziqing clearly saw the second princess here, and saw Xia Zihan sitting next to the second princess, but her position was arranged in the last row. She was jealous of Xia Zihan and felt unwilling to do so, so she got up The courage to show his face in front of the second princess.
Xia Zihan guessed her plan, and naturally the second princess also guessed it.
The second princess is a sophisticated person, and she has long noticed Xia Ziqing's crude methods.
She couldn't even look at a woman like this who couldn't stand up to the stage.
However, for Xia Zihan's sake, the second princess did not embarrass her. After asking a few casual questions, she ordered the maid next to her to take her back to her seat.
Xia Ziqing was unwilling to leave.
She originally wanted to rely on the relationship between her second sister and the second princess to show her face in front of the second princess and let her express herself well. Maybe... maybe she would be the lucky one to be favored by the second princess. Where is the person?
But who would have thought that the second princess just asked her politely who she was, and then said she wanted to watch a show and ordered the maid to send her back to her seat. What's even more disgusting is...
She glared at Xia Zihan vaguely.
The second sister actually didn't say a word for her. Even if it was a word, she might be able to stay and watch the show with the second princess.
It's fine now. She was humiliated by being driven away.
It's all my fault...
If you say a word for her, you won't lose a piece of her flesh. Why are you so petty?
Uh, wait a minute.
Could it be that her second sister...couldn't she also have that idea?
As soon as she arrived at Juyuan today, she heard that the second princess would choose a concubine for the young prince today. She also heard that the young prince was the most handsome man in the capital, very handsome and elegant.
Doesn’t the second sister also want to marry into the second prince’s palace?
Thinking of this, Xia Ziqing's face became very embarrassed and scary. She twisted the handkerchief over and over until it was almost turned into a pickle.
She was twisting the veil thinking it was Xia Zihan.
The noble ladies watching the show had long noticed what was going on here. In fact, the noble ladies had always paid attention to the second princess. They all hoped to get the second princess to look at her differently, but they didn't have the chance.
Seeing how special the second princess was to Xia Zihan, the noble ladies were jealous of Xia Zihan, but they didn't dare to say anything. Now seeing that Xia Ziqing was being annoyed, the noble ladies happily added insult to injury and spoke harshly.
"Hmph, it's really shameless to dare to get in front of the second princess even though you have an identity that can't be put on the stage."
"Who says it's not the case? All the cats and dogs are moving forward. If everyone is as shameless as her, then the second princess will be too tired to cope just by saying hello."
"Have you heard of the Jiangning Xia family?"
"I haven't heard of it. What kind of aristocratic family is it?"
"It's the mother-in-law of County Master Chuyu. I heard that it's okay in Jiangning City, but when it comes to the capital, it's just like a grain of dust among thousands of dust."
"Hehe..."
……
There were constant sarcastic laughter and disdainful glances all around. Xia Ziqing could no longer stand, and glared at Xia Zihan with great reluctance. With tears in her eyes, she pursed her lips and returned to her seat, following the two men in succession. The princess's maid didn't even bother to say a few polite words.
After sitting down, she stared hard at Xia Zihan in the front row, who was chatting with the second princess while watching the show.
The smile on Xia Zihan's face seemed to be showing off to her the difference in status between her and hers, and she was so jealous that her heart, liver, and lungs twisted into a ball.
When she was in Juyuan, because of her low status, she could not get to know the noble girl at all.
She came up to say hello to people. They saw that she was well-dressed and would chat with her for a few words at first. But when they asked about her family background, they ignored her and made excuses to dump her.
Later, when she went to get to know someone else, they asked her about her family background. She stuttered and couldn't say the words "Jiang Ning Xia family" for a long time.
She was afraid of seeing the word contempt in the eyes of those noble ladies.
In the past, when she was in Jiangning City, she looked proud when she mentioned the Xia family, because the Xia family in Jiangning City was considered one of the best farming and reading families, with a scholarly family.
But in the capital, a family like Jiang Ning's Xia family, with not even one thousand but eight hundred, is nothing at all.
Moreover, she also discovered that most of the noble ladies who came here were very pretty, graceful, graceful, and dressed in very luxurious, noble and dazzling clothes.
Thinking about Xia Ziqing's appearance, although she is not as good as Xia Ziying's charming and enchanting look at a young age, she is still one of the top beauties in Jiangning City.
But when she looked at it today, she realized that she was really a little witch. As beautiful as she was in the capital, she could be considered an ordinary beauty. Compared with those noble ladies, she was incomparable.
This made Xia Ziqing, who was originally full of confidence, feel as deflated as a balloon with a pinhole in it.
She originally wanted to rely on Xia Zihan to get close to the second princess, but unexpectedly, she made a big joke and made her hate Xia Zihan to death. How much she hated Xia Zihan, Xia Zihan didn't know, but she was listening to the second princess telling her a story.
The second princess seemed to like watching the opera very much. She spoke very seriously, and she also listened very seriously. She planned to tell the story to her grandmother when she returned home.
It's a pity that my great-aunt has just passed away, and my grandmother is her biological sister. Although she doesn't have to stay in mourning for three years, she can't invite the opera troupe to go home and sing happily.
She could only tell it to her grandmother.
Princess Qinghui didn't like to watch the show, nor did she like to listen to it. She couldn't sit still and twisted her buttocks, as if there were nails on the stool, rubbing here and there.
After a cup of tea and she couldn't sit still, Princess Qinghui tugged on her sleeve and said pitifully, "Chu Yu, why don't you come with me to play."
The second princess hated the iron, and glared at her angrily, "Look at you, how can you sit down and watch a show with your mother and concubine when you are free for a while? How will you get married in the future?"
< br>
With this kind of temperament, who can marry anyone, who can bear it?
The second princess couldn't help but worry about the future of her baby daughter.
Princess Qinghui didn't care about so much. She just took what she had today and didn't care about her temperament tomorrow. She laughed happily and said, "Then I won't get married. When I grow up, I will travel around the world and become a heroine in red." .”
"You want to piss me off, don't you?" In Jianghu, this child is really spoiled.
"Mother, I'm learning martial arts from my father. When I finish, I will take you to go sightseeing with me. Oh, by the way, there is also the fifth brother. He also said he would go, and we discussed it. To be a pair of knights in red.”
Princess Qinghui spoke so happily that the second princess's face turned dark, and the corners of her mouth twitched in anger, but she was reluctant to scold her precious daughter.
Finally, she sighed, "You have been spoiled by your father."
"Mother and concubine, I also like my father and my concubine." Princess Qinghui pouted her lips and acted coquettishly. She lost all her fierceness. "There are also brother Wang and fifth brother. I am very loved by my brothers and sisters." ”
After being coaxed by her, the second princess's heart softened to water. If there was anyone who didn't rely on her, she asked Xia Zihan to play with her, but she didn't forget to tell Xia Zihan, "Don't play for too long. The banquet will begin in an hour.”
After the banquet, there was a talent competition among the ladies.
This item was not available in previous years, but this year the second princess wanted to choose a woman with both talent and beauty as well as good character as the young princess, so this item was specially added.
"Oh, concubine, we know, we won't go far." Princess Qinghui hurriedly dragged Xia Zihan away.
Xia Zihan looked at the sleeves that were pulled tightly by Princess Qinghui, with a smile in her eyes, "Where are you going to take me to play this time?"
"Do you want to go to my brother Wang's study to see your grandfather's paintings?" Princess Qinghui asked in a mysterious voice.
Chuge was always highly respected by the soldiers and scholars of the Great Sheng Dynasty. He had a high reputation in the hearts of the soldiers and scholars. His paintings and calligraphy were once sought after by scholars and noble ladies who were willing to spread the word. I spent a lot of money to buy his copybooks and take them home to copy.
It's a pity that Mr. Chu Ge's calligraphy rarely goes out, and his paintings are even rarer. Ao Tianchen also accidentally got one. He held a poetry meeting today, and everyone clamored to see Mr. Chu Ge's paintings. .
On weekdays, Ao Tianchen treasures the painting like a treasure. Not even Princess Qinghui has even glanced at it. Today, Princess Qinghui naturally has the opportunity to see the painting that her brother Wang regards as a treasure. What is it.
No, she encouraged Xia Zihan to go with her.
Xia Zihan had a headache, she stroked her forehead and said, "Princess Qinghui, we are a girl's family, we can't do whatever we want..."
"Oh, I know, I know, men and women are not intimate, you are really a rotten one." Princess Qinghui waved her hand impatiently, interrupting Xia Zihan's long talk.
He muttered dissatisfiedly, "It's just for a look. We don't look at men, and we can't have children with men. What are we afraid of? You... uh uh..."
The chattering mouth was covered by the furious Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan was almost pissed off by her.
This little girl jumped out of a rock. How come she dares to say anything and yet she doesn't understand anything?
She grinded her teeth and gnashed her teeth, and threatened her in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. If you are talking nonsense, I won't play with you anymore."
There are a lot of people talking here, and if someone listens to them, things that are not true will be spread as if they are true. She knows how powerful rumors are.
A mouth can kill, which refers to the power of gossip.
Princess Qinghui had never been wronged like this before. She glared at Xia Zihan angrily and tried to break away from her, but Xia Zihan was very strong. She struggled a few times and was so tired that she collapsed. Xia Zihan's hand It's even tighter.
Seeing Princess Qinghui nodding her head cutely like a little deer Barbie, she carefully released her mouth, then smiled apologetically and said, "Qinghui, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in a hurry, don't be angry. .”
"Huh." He ignored her.
Seeing her turning around and walking away, Xia Zihan was helpless and chased after her, "Qinghui, are you really angry?"
