Chapter 258 Hatred
On the shore, Dou San and Xia Ziqing's maids and women all lowered their heads in fright when they saw Princess Qinghui jumping onto the shore.
After Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui left, Xia Ziqing and Dou San were also rescued from the water by two women.
The two girls were so wet that a large basin of water could be squeezed out of their clothes. The hairpins on their heads also fell into the water, and their hair was all messed up.
The two stout women who rescued them put them on the shore and left. Min'er and Erhan's family rushed towards Xia Ziqing, "Girl, how are you? Are you scared?"
Scared?
Naturally, I was frightened, and I am still in shock.
Seeing that Xia Ziqing was shivering from the cold and her lips were purple, Miner hurriedly opened the baggage she was carrying, took out a jacket from it, and said, "Girl, fortunately, I brought an extra jacket. Put it on quickly and we'll find a place nearby to change out of your wet clothes."
"The banquet time is coming, girl, we have to hurry up, you can't be absent." Erhan's family reminded Xia Ziqing.
After Dou San's maid cared about Dou San, she said angrily, "How could Princess Qinghui do this? How could she throw you and Miss Xia off the boat? She..."
"Shut up." Dou Sanjiao shouted, "What are you doing, Princess Qinghui? How can you allow a cheap servant like you to make irresponsible remarks here?"
She and Xia Ziqing will definitely suffer today's loss.
Fortunately, Princess Qinghui was quite measured this time. She just threw her and Xia Ziqing into the lake and fished them out again without making the matter a big deal. For Princess Qinghui, this was considered a light punishment.
Based on Princess Qinghui's past temperament, she might have sent the guards into the water to rescue them. And when she and Xia Ziqing came ashore, there would be a large number of spectators on the shore.
This is not the first time Princess Qinghui has done such a thing to ruin someone's reputation.
In fact, in the final analysis, she overestimated her capabilities and actually wanted to use Princess Qinghui to get close to the second princess and Ao Tianchen.
It was her impure heart first, no wonder Princess Qinghui would attack her.
"This matter will rot in your stomachs. If anyone dares to tell anyone, I will sell her to a military kiln." Dou San said with a cold face and issued a gag order.
After hearing this, Xia Ziqing over there also issued a gag order on Min'er and Erhan's family.
Then a maid came over. Xia Ziqing knew her. She was the second-class maid beside Princess Qinghui. She said, "You two, come with me. I will take you to change clothes."
Xia Ziqing and Dou San looked at each other, and they both saw the word regret in each other's eyes.
They regretted provoking the little witch.
The two of them stood up with the support of their respective maids, and followed the second-class maid of Princess Qinghui.
Princess Qinghui and Xia Zihan walked towards the banquet hall. Princess Qinghui sneered proudly and said, "Humph, I have grown up and there are many people who want to get close to me, harm me and take advantage of me. We went there, but none of them got a good deal.”
Then he tried to please Xia Zihan, "Chu Yu, I did it all for your sake. I just made them wet and didn't ruin their reputation."
"I know, I know, just think that I owe you a favor." She couldn't write two characters of "Xia" in one sentence. If Xia Ziqing was ruined, she couldn't live alone. Princess Qinghui was worried that it would involve her.
"Of course." Princess Qinghui said eagerly, "I want you to teach my mother and concubine the secret of raising a ten-foot hanging curtain, and this favor will be wiped out."
"Okay."
Even if she doesn't return the favor, Princess Qinghui will teach her if she speaks.
When the two of them walked to the banquet hall, dozens of maids were busy serving wine and delicacies. The place was full of people, and except for a few people, almost everyone was here.
Xia Zihan and Princess Qinghui hurriedly walked to the second princess and saluted the second princess. Xia Zihan blushed with embarrassment and said, "My daughter lost track of time while playing and came back late."
"It's not too late, it's just right." The second princess smiled, then pointed to a lady sitting next to her and said, "This is Princess Xin, and standing next to her is Princess Mingzhu."
Princess Qinghui and Xia Zihan were busy giving gifts to Princess Xin and Princess Mingzhu, and Princess Mingzhu gracefully bowed and returned the gift.
Princess Xin looked at the two girls, nodded with a smile, and praised them a few times.
Then, the second princess introduced the two princesses, Princess Rong and Princess Rong, Princess Xinyue and Princess Mingyue.
Then they introduced the old princess of Yujun Palace, the Crown Prince's wife, and Mrs. Li. Standing beside them were the Lord of Danhua County, Li Tong, and Li Ke.
The Danhua County Lord and Li Tong both had elegant and generous smiles, and their expressions seemed as if nothing had happened before.
They pretended to be alright, and Xia Zihan also pretended to see her for the first time, with a lukewarm expression.
However, Li Ke's resentful eyes were always following Xia Zihan, with that ferocious and twisted expression, as if Xia Zihan had robbed her husband and killed her son.
This inexplicable hatred made Xia Zihan feel baffled. It seems that I have never seen her before today, right?
Didn't she kill anyone?
Then why is Mao targeting her so much?
Xia Zihan was speechless about her hatred.
Xia Zihan didn't know that some people were born with incompatible magnetic fields and were born to be enemies, just like her and Dai Yumin, her and Shi Wenting, and her and Li Ke.
Even if she didn't do anything, Li Ke would always dislike her and target her everywhere.
To put it harshly, some people are born to like to find trouble and seek thorns, and they are born to deserve a beating.
In the end, Li Tong couldn't stand it anymore and quietly poked Li Ke, and Li Ke calmed down a little.
Li Ke's gaffe was noticed by the old princess of Yu County, the Crown Prince's wife, and Mrs. Li, and their glances at Xia Zihan became unkind.
The three lines of sight were like radioscopes, falling on Xia Zihan's body, almost making a few holes in her.
When Xia Zihan saluted them, his cold response made the second princess frown, seeming a little displeased.
Xia Zihan didn't care so much about some people she didn't care about. What made her happy was that her aunt was actually there, sitting next to Princess Rong.
"Ayu."
Seeing her bowing to a group of ladies one by one, when it was her turn, she waved her over, took her hand, and asked with a friendly smile, "You came alone? Go back and take aunt's carriage, aunt I haven’t seen you for a long time and wanted to have a nice chat with you.”
Her attitude was as cordial as that of mother and daughter, and there was no barrier at all because she refused Chu Jingqi's closeness.
Xia Zihan nodded with a smile, and also liked being intimate with Mrs. Zhuo, "I came here with my eldest sister. When I came, my eldest sister took my carriage. When I went back, I just asked the coachman to take my eldest sister back to Xia's house. I went to take my aunt's carriage. ”
Then, he remembered what he had seen Chu Jingqi before.
She was about to ask Mrs. Zhuo if she came with Chu Jingqi, but when she thought that there were outsiders here, she pursed her lips, swallowed the words that came to her mouth, and replaced it with, "Auntie, do you want to go see grandma? Grandma has been here for a few days." My complexion is much better. I was still talking about my aunt yesterday.”
"Okay." Mrs. Zhuo's eyes lit up, "I came with Aqi, and I just asked Aqi to pay his respects to his grandmother."
Xia Zihan looked a little uncomfortable.
As if she didn't see it, Mrs. Zhuo continued to hold Xia Zihan's hand and murmured, until the second princess pointed at them and joked, "Looking at the intimacy you talked about, I didn't know, I thought it was... Where are mother and daughter?”
"Isn't that right? Before I recognized my godmother, I wanted to recognize Ayu as my goddaughter. But after I recognized my godmother, I thought it would be good to be Ayu's aunt." Mrs. Zhuo admitted openly.
The second princess pretended to be jealous, "It's an advantage for you. You have such a sensible and well-behaved niece like Chu Yu. Unlike me, I'm like a monkey, jumping up and down all day long, which makes me very worried."
Princess Qinghui's face turned red and she pursed her lips and said, "Concubine, how can I jump up and down like this?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhuo's face shyly, and saw that Zhuo just smiled and praised her, "Children must be lively to be cute."
Princess Qinghui breathed a deep sigh of relief and felt relieved.
When the Lord of Danhua County saw that the second princess's eyes were all on Xia Zihan, he was so angry that he could twist the ropa in his hand so much that he looked at Xia Zihan with jealousy and resentment deep in his eyes. color.
Fortunately, after the banquet started, Mrs. Zhuo asked Xia Zihan to sit next to her instead of going to the second princess. This also made Xia Zihan breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Zhuo didn't care what others were looking at, she just kept being nice to Xia Zihan, picking up vegetables for her, and asking the maids to serve her soup, as if she was worried that Xia Zihan would be hungry.
The second princess teased her several times, but she still went her own way and said cheerfully, "I dreamed of giving birth to a little cotton-padded jacket, but unfortunately after giving birth to Aqi, my belly didn't live up to expectations."
< br>
The tone was full of regret.
And Xia Zihan knew that the reason why Zhuo was no longer pregnant was because she was poisoned when she gave birth to Chu Jingqi in confinement, which caused her body to be damaged and infertile.
Over the past year or so, Old Man Bai has prescribed many prescriptions for her to detoxify and recuperate her body. A few days ago, Old Man Bai said that the toxins in Zhuo's body have been completely eliminated. When the new year comes and her body and bones are healed, Zhuo will be able to Conceived.
After Chu Xuanyu found out, he happily sent a large cart of medicinal materials to Old Man Bai.
But after Zhuo's heart knot was opened, her entire eyebrows became brighter, and she suddenly seemed to be several years younger.
And this time, after Mrs. Zhuo became the wife of An Guo Gong, she also frequently attended banquets of some noble ladies, and got along well with the ladies in the house who were on good terms with An Guo Gong.
"Ayu, eat quickly."
Seeing that Xia Zihan didn't know what she was thinking and didn't move her chopsticks for a while, Zhuo pulled her under the table and told her in a low voice, "Eat more, there will be an interesting game to watch later." ”
"Well, I heard what Princess Qinghui said." Xia Zihan came back to his senses and replied in a low voice.
