Chapter 89 Some people are happy while others are angry
The front hall was very lively, and the ladies gathered behind the curtain to secretly look at the young men outside. All of those young men were handsome, gentle, and had good family backgrounds. It would be a great destination for them to marry any one of them.
Xue Rou'er's face was full of reluctance, but Princess Xue thought she was shy, so she pulled her into the front hall and said, "Everyone, come and meet my sister Rou'er, the legitimate daughter of the Xue family."
This sentence attracted the attention of both men and women, and Xue Rouer felt that she was about to be pierced by the sight, with an unnatural smile on her face.
Soon, the female relatives began to talk about it. I don’t know who raised the voice deliberately and said: "Is she the eldest lady of the Xue family who eloped with someone on the wedding day?"
This sentence was like a thunderclap, immediately arousing a buzz of discussion in the room.
Xue Rou'er lowered her head and put on an expression as if she was about to cry. She couldn't say anything now, but she knew Princess Xue would never sit idly by.
Sure enough, Princess Xue became angry and shouted: "Who said that? Stand up for me."
The women behind the curtain immediately shouted and dispersed to both sides, with a panicked woman standing in the middle.
Princess Xue's face darkened and she said, "Isn't this Lord Wang's daughter? Your father is also a royal official here, but he actually said such vulgar words. Someone please ask her out."
The young lady immediately pointed to a bunch of women on the left and said, "She said that..." She just pointed, without clearly identifying who it was. It could also be said that there was no chance for her to identify it, because two maids had already dragged her away.
Got out.
Princess Xue sneered and said: "Sister Rou'er is pure and pure. If there are any words that slander her reputation in the future, please don't blame me for being rude." After that, she coldly swept away everyone.
The woman's glance frightened them into silence.
Princess Xue is the most beloved sister of Prince Qi. Being hostile to her is equivalent to being disliked by Prince Qi. If she is disliked by Prince Qi, then she will also become the object of dislike by all the young masters. Now the daughter of the Wang family is afraid that she will not be able to be his wife.
.
When those young masters saw that Xue Rou'er was being cared for by Princess Xue, they couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Seeing that she had an extraordinary appearance and elegant dress, they felt a little fond of her. But the rumors were too evil, so they had to be cautious, so
Showed no enthusiasm.
Princess Xue took in their expressions one by one and sneered in her heart. They were indeed unreliable. This was good. In the future, it would indeed be much better for Xue Rouer to have a wife than to marry off.
Xue Rou'er didn't lower her head completely. She had a clear view of the scene just now. The Wang family lady was just a scapegoat. It was Xue Qing'er who really spoke. Don't think that she can't be seen in the crowd.
Princess Xue said: "Sister Rou'er, come and sit with me."
Xue Rou'er followed her obediently. This was the palace anyway, and the prince and princess were supporting her, so what did she have to fear?
After the two sat down, someone brought them fragrant tea. Princess Xue said, "Do you know that all the women in the capital are rushing for Fu Guixuan's jewelry?"
Xue Rouer's mind suddenly moved, and she pretended to be puzzled and said: "Is it because my grandpa's jewelry is of high quality and low price?"
Seeing her answer like this, Princess Xue's eyes flashed with disappointment and said: "That's not true. In fact, when it comes to the root cause, we have to start with your mother."
Xue Rouer pretended not to understand and asked: "Why? My mother rarely goes out."
Princess Xue smiled and said: "It's not the peony hairpin that your mother gave to the Queen. The Queen loved it so much that she wore it almost every day. Even the emperor praised it and said that it enhanced the Queen's beauty a lot.
You know, women, all they have to do is compare jewelry with each other. Seeing that the Queen likes it, they also want to imitate it. It’s a pity that your grandfather refused to make exactly the same one, saying that he was afraid of offending the Queen’s beauty. However,
That’s good, it saves you a lot of trouble.”
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "The Queen is a phoenix, how can we little sparrows compare to her?"
Princess Xue winked at her and asked: "You don't have any special jewelry? The ones you brought today are quite fresh, but they are much inferior to those of the Queen."
Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "Yes, but I don't dare to bring her. The princess also knows that Rou'er is just the daughter of a businessman, how can she dare to show off among the flowers?"
Princess Xue smiled and said, "Really? You are not the only daughter in the Xue family. Why do I feel that concubines live better than you, the legitimate daughter?" She glanced at Xue Qing'er intentionally or unintentionally as she spoke.
Xue Rou'er smiled and said: "My sister is married. She wears nice clothes, which means her husband loves her. It's really enviable."
The two of them are talking to each other here, talking nonsense and doing Tai Chi.
Xue Qing'er on the side became more and more angry as she listened. She had just seen Xue Rou'er's carriage, which was even more luxurious than her own. She had already lost a point in her face. Now that she was being criticized by her two words, the anger in her heart immediately showed on her face.
Go. But what can she say? Now she can only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
After a while, Princess Xue stopped beating around the bush and asked directly: "Hey, I've told you so much, why don't you understand?"
Xue Rou'er chuckled and said: "Rou'er already understands the princess's thoughts, why do you need to talk about it openly?"
Princess Xue's face turned red with embarrassment and she said, "You are so smart, you really made a mistake."
Xue Rou'er whispered: "Don't worry, Princess, I'll take care of your head and face when you get married, but the price is not low!"
Princess Xue also said in a low voice: "My brother is rich, I want to go to him, and my sister-in-law is not stingy, so don't worry. But I really don't see that you are still a greedy master!"
Xue Rouer smiled and said: "That's right, my father is the richest man in the capital. Isn't this how he earned his money? I will definitely be better than my master in the future!"
Princess Xue pinched her nose and said, "Oh, no wonder you smell like copper!"
The two chatted and laughed affectionately, and envied the group of women over there. Among them was a beautiful woman with big eyes, who was the most beautiful among the women. There was anger in her eyes, and her silver teeth were almost broken.
Xue Qing'er rolled her eyes, leaned over and whispered: "You are so charming, even the princess was fascinated by her."
The woman glanced at her, probably because they were jealous of Xue Rou'er and it was easy to reach a consensus.
She said: "Are you?"
Xue Qing'er said: "I am Xue Rou'er's concubine, my name is Xue Qing'er. I don't know what to call this beautiful sister?"
Women like to hear compliments. The woman immediately smiled and said, "I am Zhong Shilang's sister, Zhong Ling."
Xue Qing'er immediately made an expression of admiration and said: "Oh, I was rude. I didn't expect the official lady to be so amiable."
Zhong Ling smiled and said: "Do all the ladies in your official family cannibalize people? By the way, why do you say she is a fox?"
Xue Qing'er pretended to be bitter and said, "Don't mention it anymore. Talking about this will only bring shame to our Xue family."
