05 Girlfriends
During the delivery period, both mother and son were alive and died. Although they were finally rescued, the Crown Princess suffered too much loss and was not very good. His Highness also had a shortage of fetal deficiencies. When she was born, Mrs. Xiao had visited her. It is said that she was like a kitten, and she cried in a quiet voice.
Because he was the eldest son of the prince, His Majesty was very concerned and specifically told the Imperial Hospital to take care of it and keep it carefully. After a hundred days, he was not as good as the kitten, but as he is now, he looks thin and has thin hair and is sparse and yellow, so he is not as good as those children with treacherous heads and brains. Fortunately, the three of them were able to flatter the princess without changing their faces and flatter them!
However, seeing the little prince opens his hand and asks the crown princess to hug him, Xie Xuan thinks that at least the child's IQ should not have any major problems, and this is a blessing in disgrace.
But today, the Crown Princess seemed to have made up her mind and refused to hug him, and said with a smile, "I just took the medicine, and there was still a smell of medicine on my body, afraid that it would smell it. Why not... ask his seventh aunt to hug him?" The conversation changed and turned to Xie Xuan. The Crown Princess looked over with a smile, but her eyes were so deep that it made people feel a little nervous.
Xie Xuan paused in her heart for a few moments, then said with a look of embarrassment, "That... Empress, I have little hands and have never hugged a child. I... dare not hug him, for fear of falling."
He looked at the Crown Princess with a timid face, with sincere apology and requests in his eyes.
It looked pitiful, as if the Crown Princess blamed her for this, it would be that the Crown Princess was too harsh. Besides, this is the Crown Princess's cousin's relative. It seems that the Crown Princess likes her quite a bit, so how could he blame her for such a trivial matter?
So... the Crown Princess's eyes flashed lightly, and she looked at Xie Xuan deeply. She lowered her eyes a little uneasy, avoided her gaze, bit her lower lip uneasyly, then she looked away and smiled, "Seventh Sister is too worried, but I am also blamed for not thinking well. When I am as old as you, I dare not hold such a child..."
Xie Xuan quietly let out a breath, her expression relaxed a little faster, "It's better if I don't blame me."
"Empress, lunch is ready, should I use it now, or?" Huiyi, who disappeared after leading them here, actually went to supervise lunch. After calculating the time, it was really time for meals.
The Crown Princess nodded and said, "Let's just put it in the side hall! Anyway, there are only a few sisters and no outsiders, so just be more casual."
Xie Xuan and the others naturally had no objection. The group moved to the side hall and sat in sequence. The palace people then served some dishes quietly and quickly. It was really just a simple meal. As the Crown Princess said, it was just a casual meal for their own people.
They didn't eat or sleep, but they just ate a few bites and then gave up.
After lunch, the princess showed a little tiredness on her face. Maybe she couldn't hold on anymore. She told her sister Xie Xuan to take a nap in the side hall. After waking up, she helped her prepare some banquets.
Then, I went back to the bedroom to rest.
Xie Xuan thought to herself that the Crown Princess is smart now. If she doesn't accumulate energy, she will have a good social engagement later! Their sisters know more or less about the news. Although her real situation is not hidden from the eyes of those who are interested, she has not been penetrated through a layer of window paper, so everyone can only think that she doesn't know. So, she has to hold on for a while. Now she will make things difficult for herself.
The three sisters of Xie Xuan were arranged in the wing room of the side hall, which was very quiet and cool. With Lianlong guarding her, Xie Xuan, who had already been thinking about getting back, gave up the hairpin and slept beautifully.
When Lian Tae woke her up, she felt refreshed and her mood improved a lot.
As for what the Crown Princess said, asking them to help with some banquets, they were all polite words. At the night banquet of the East Palace, there were also capable palace maids such as Huiyi and Yanzhi, and everything was in order. It was just to help with the cooking, but it was just to take your eyes to see.
Fortunately, it was getting late, and soon, guests began to come to visit one after another.
It is true that they want to help the Crown Princess entertain guests.
"A Luan!" He sent several girls to the flower hall where guests were entertaining. Xie Xuan heard a gentle and gentle voice behind her, and a full smile rang out.
Xie Xuan's eyes lit up and she shouted, "Qianqian!" She turned around and looked at her. She was wearing goose yellow in front of her. Who else was Cao Qianqian? She quickly stepped forward and pulled her hand, "You know I'm here, so I won't come soon."
Cao Qianqian looked at Xie Xuan and smiled gently. She was only a month older than Xie Xuan, but she looked like a steady big sister. "I can come here now, so come quickly? I'm also worried that you are really acting like a little today and refuse to come!"
Because of the Duke Dingguo Mansion, Xie Xuan is the most precious daughter in this capital, which is slightly worse than the princess of the royal family. The people in this capital often flatter her. But Xie Xuan is also a very bright-hearted person. She really sees whether you are true or false, and she never aggrieved her willfulness, so she has almost no friends in this capital.
But there is only one exception, Cao Qianqian.
Cao Qianqian was born in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and was also a family of meritorious deeds. However, the talents of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion have faded in recent generations, and have gradually become marginalized and have declined. However, Cao Qianqian is very close to Xie Xuan. Even when they are not seen on weekdays, they also have letters every day, so they know a lot about what is happening around each other.
Cao Qianqian knew that the East Palace night banquet today and knew that the Duke Dingguo Mansion would definitely receive a post, but Xie Xuan explained in her letter that she did not want to attend the banquet.
Cao Qianqian still knows Xie Xuan's willfulness in her bones, so it is normal for her to have such doubts.
Xie Xuan thought about it and pretended to be angry. Now she smiled even more relievedly. She reached out and took Cao Qianqian's hand and said, "It's better to know that you didn't hide from me on purpose. But... why are you here?" Although she didn't dare to say something explicitly in her letter to Qianqian, she could not understand it.
Because she has this blood relationship with the Crown Princess, she was forced to come to the banquet by her mother, but Cao Qianqian could make an excuse, even if she was sick, she could avoid today's affairs and not get into this muddy water!
When Cao Qianqian heard this, she smiled bitterly, "You should understand me best. We are born in wealth and hiding from the family, but some things... are involuntarily."
