"That's great, I think so too!" Yao Xi listened to Jiang Xuening's words, as if he had eaten a heart pill, the smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed, and it overflowed like melting ice, and said again, " I turned around and wrote to my father. I thought that although Zhang Zhe took the initiative to withdraw from his family, it was not because he did not want to marry me, but because he was afraid that I would be a burden to me after marrying me. But if I wanted to, then he would have no worries. So, so …”
Such a relationship can be done.
With such a high lintel in Yao Mansion, she asked herself that her color and self-cultivation were considered top-notch in Beijing. How could Zhang Zhe have any reason to refuse
However, it was difficult for her to say this from her daughter's family, so she murmured for a long time without saying anything.
But Jiang Xuening understood.
For the next part of the road, Yao Xi walked beside her, and seemed to have changed her hostility towards her and wanted to be her friend. After all, if Jiang Xuening hadn't persuaded her to come out, she might not have known that Zhang Zha was such a valuable person.
But Jiang Xuening didn't want to have a deep friendship with her.
Ask herself, she really likes Yao Xi, does she agree with Yao Xi
the answer is negative.
She was also not happy with Yao Xi and Zhang Zha's proposal for relatives.
But at this moment, Zhang Zhe didn't know anything about Yao Xi.
In this life, because of his own obstruction and advice, Yao Xi did not use the next method to slander Zhang Zha and give him the reputation of being a wife. On Zhang Zha's side, he was innocent. If she not only does not dislike it but wants to marry Zhang Zhe after receiving the retiring cronies, then from Zhang Zhe's point of view, what kind of person should Yao Xi be
Don't even think about it.
Born in a high class, but willing to commit himself to the poor family, giving help in the snow but not falling to the ground, not snobbish, but also heavy promises.
Either way, she's a great girl.
Zhang Zhe would agree, right
Jiang Xuening knew what kind of person Yao Xi was, and didn't think Zhang Zha should marry her.
But she has no right to do anything.
Previously, she reprimanded You Yue and warned Yao Xi because she couldn't sit back and watch Zhang Zhe's reputation tarnished; now Yao Xi is willing to marry, anyone in the world can criticize and oppose it, but she can't and has no position—
Because she has selfishness towards Zhang Zhe.
If she wanted to destroy this marriage, she would never dare to say with a clear conscience that it was just because she disliked Yao Xi's character.
In the Fengchen Hall in the early morning, the palace people who were in charge of serving them had already tidy up every bookcase, with nine bookcases in three rows and three columns from front to back. The one in the middle of the first row is painted with red sandalwood lacquer, and the seats behind it are covered with gold and red brocade seats. At first glance, it is different from other desks. Even the four treasures of the study placed on it are more valuable.
This is obviously the seat of Shen Zhiyi, the eldest princess of Leyang.
Everyone came in from the outside, and at a glance, they saw the specialness of this position, and they all consciously sat in other positions, most of which were similar to the positions when they first came to Fengchen Hall.
Jiang Xuening chose the corner by the window almost without hesitation.
That's where she was originally sitting.
Even though the window is open and the sky is shining in, compared to the first two rows, this place is still the hardest place to be noticed by gentlemen—there will be half a year, and she doesn't want to choose the seat in front of Xie Wei. Sitting under the lids.
Both Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi were obviously confident in their knowledge and background, and chose the left and right of the eldest princess respectively; Yao Xi was in the middle of the second row, just behind Shen Zhiyi; They are Fang Miao and Zhou Baoying respectively; in the last row from left to right, only You Yue, Yao Rongrong and Jiang Xuening are left.
Today was the first time that Shen Zhiyi really came to Fengchen Palace.
The queen mother and Su Shangyi have explained it to her in the past few days. It was the emperor's brother who finally agreed to start a class for her. The court also criticized it a lot. Most of them thought it was inappropriate. Therefore, she must cherish the opportunity. Don't be perfunctory.
So he deliberately put on a decent palace suit with a pale yellow woven gold embroidery pattern.
Not long after Jiang Xuening and other eight companions arrived, and there was still a moment before Maozheng, she walked in from outside with two palace servants who were waiting closely.
Everyone bowed and saluted: "I have seen the eldest princess, please greet the eldest princess."
Shen Zhiyi hadn't been so happy for a long time, her bright face was full of smiles, her hands were behind her back, she jumped briskly and stood on the threshold, only saying to everyone, "From now on, you are all mine. Companion to read, there are still many times to meet, so don’t go back and give a big gift, you are tired and I am tired, so get up quickly.”
As she spoke, her eyes swept around.
Immediately afterwards, with a "huh", he walked directly in front of Jiang Xuening: "Ningning, why are you sitting at the back?"
Shen Zhiyi was adorned with a petal of cherry blossom powder on her forehead. After the Double Ninth Banquet, her face lost the haze of the past, and she put down the shelf of the eldest princess that she had deliberately brought up before. Instead, she became approachable and a little girly. Playful kid.
When Jiang Xuening touched her concerned eyes, she couldn't help being shocked.
I remember that I had seen Shen Zhiyi so cute and happy in the last life, but after knowing that she was a daughter, this expression disappeared from Shen Zhiyi's face, and she returned to the original eyes that always The Princess Leyang, who is entangled in a sullen and increasingly bad-tempered temper.
Jiang Xuening could see that she had been "good" to him before, for fear that she would tell him to sit in front of her as soon as she opened her mouth, she hurriedly winked at her and explained: "The courtier is stubborn and stubborn, and she is not good at school, so I don't want to sit here. Seeing this, Mr. was upset. When I turned around and accidentally told me to get out, wouldn't it be bad?"
This is a euphemism to say that I don't want to be seen by Mr.
Shen Zhiyi understood, she couldn't hold back her joy, and said, "Who dares to tell you to get out of here with this princess under her cover?"
The eyes of the others in the hall suddenly fell on Jiang Xuening, jealous, complicated, jealous, and thoughtful.
Jiang Xuening could feel the subtlety of the atmosphere in the hall.
But she didn't dare to look.
I'm afraid that as soon as I look up, the knife will come and stab myself to death!
Shen Zhiyi grew up with thousands of doting in the palace. Apart from her brother and mother, she didn't know what it meant to "be restrained in behavior". When she liked someone, she would be kind to someone without any scruples.
She actually wanted Jiang Xuening to sit next to her.
Wouldn't it be comfortable to sit closer and see as soon as you turn your head
But if you look further, Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi are already sitting on the left and right sides of her in the front row. Both of them are people she has known before. I'm afraid it won't be good to ask anyone to get up and change with Jiang Xuening. .
So Shen Zhiyi had no choice but to do it.
She mumbled: "Since you want to sit here, just sit first, it doesn't matter if you get bored and change again."
Jiang Xuening breathed a sigh of relief: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie takes care of you."
Shen Zhiyi then passed by her and sat down in front of her desk in the middle of the first row.
Xiao Shu stood up at this moment, naturally placed a brocade box on Shen Zhiyi's desk, winked at her and smiled.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Ashu brought me a gift!"
She picked up the brocade box and opened it, there was actually a delicate shadow puppet inside, and she couldn't put it down.
Chen Shuyi also stood up at this moment, and offered the gift she had prepared with both hands: "I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Eldest likes Mr. Gu Qi's paintings, and I happen to have a collection at home, so I will bring it to you this time."
Shen Zhiyi was pleasantly surprised: "Shuyi is so kind to me!"
When entering the palace this time, everyone wanted to be a companion for Shen Zhiyi. Someone in the family planned or thoughtfully prepared gifts for Shen Zhiyi, some of which were more expensive, and some were just a thought.
No one dared to send it first.
But with Xiao Shu and Chen Shuyi taking the lead, and Shen Zhiyi still so happy, everyone had the courage to take this opportunity to present the gifts they had prepared.
After a while, many things were placed on Shen Zhiyi's desk.
Jiang Xuening looked stunned.
She remembered that when she went home this time, she mainly dealt with You Fangyin and Yan Lin, and she didn't think about Shen Zhiyi at all. Now everyone took out the gifts, but she was not prepared at all!
Eyelids jumped wildly.
She thought to herself that there were so many people giving gifts anyway, and she still had no sense of existence in the corner, so it was best not to be noticed by anyone.
But who would have thought that God does not follow people's wishes, that is, some people are more cheap.
As early as when Shen Zhiyi came in to speak just now, You Yue was already looking at Jiang Xuening, and now she noticed that everyone brought gifts, only Jiang Xuening was sitting in her seat motionless, with her head lowered.
Don't tell her to catch the handle
Having learned the lesson from the last time, she has learned not to confront Jiang Xuening head-on, but with a curious expression, she squeezed her throat and smiled: "I didn't expect everyone to have a good heart, so they all brought gifts for the eldest princess, although the things are different, they are all different. There are new ideas. But I saw that Jiang Er girl was sitting next to her and didn't speak. Could it be that she prepared some special gift?"
As soon as You Yue said this, all the attention that had been removed earlier returned to Jiang Xuening.
Even Shen Zhiyi turned her head and looked at Jiang Xuening with bright eyes.
Obviously expecting Jiang Xuening to surprise her.
At this moment, Jiang Xuening really wanted to rush over and tear up You Yue's stinky mouth, but she turned her head to meet Shen Zhiyi's expectant eyes, and felt a little helpless in her heart.
She was really unprepared.
Could it be that she was told to take off the jade pendant she carried with her casually
Jiang Xuening really couldn't do it.
She lowered her eyes slightly, instead of looking directly at Shen Zhiyi, she sighed and said, "I didn't prepare a present."
Xiao Shu, who was sitting in the front row, raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and let out a silent laugh.
You Yue even showed a successful smile, and immediately covered her lips, she was extremely surprised: "No way, Your Highness the First Princess treats Second Lady Jiang so favorably, you actually... You don't even have a gift..."
The rest of the words were deliberately left unspoken, but the vicious meaning was no longer needed.
Others see Jiang Xuening's expression somewhat subtle: they should have sympathized with her, but a person who has been treated so favorably by His Royal Highness the eldest princess, how can they get their sympathy
Watching silently at the moment.
I just thought in my heart: Even if the eldest princess likes Jiang Xuening again, under such a strong contrast, she should know that she is not so concerned about herself, and she will not be happy anyway, right
They expected it well. The moment Shen Zhiyi heard Jiang Xuening said that she had not prepared a gift, she did feel an indescribable loss, even a little sad. Thinking that she was so good to her, others could think of preparing a gift for herself. How could she? Can't think of it
But just the next moment, I saw Jiang Xuening's bowed head and lowered eyes.
Neither rebuttal nor explanation.
She had a very beautiful appearance, and the corners of her eyes and brows moved, as if the branches were trembling slightly. At this moment, the slender neck is drooping, which makes one's heart soften, and even can't help but feel distressed.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly remembered what Yan Lin had said to herself, Jiang Xuening's life experience, and her situation in the mansion...
Jiang Xuening was thinking about what kind of reason he should find, and when he raised his head, he wanted to explain to himself: "Actually, I—"
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Shen Zhiyi's eyes were red, and she said to her, "I know, I know."
You, what do you know
Jiang Xuening's heart skipped a beat, almost thinking she knew her secret, but when she raised her eyes, she was almost frightened by the way she didn't want to cry.
What was wrong with her intuition: "His Royal Highness..."
However, Shen Zhiyi had already stood up, came to her, took her hand, looked firm, and said, "Ning Ning, don't worry, with me here, I won't let anyone bully you! Not ready! What does the gift have to do with it? If you can read with me, it is the best gift I have ever received."
Jiang Xuening: "..."
But it was a bolt from the blue for me! And what the hell are you thinking about!
Everyone around thought that even if Shen Zhiyi didn't blame her, she would have grudges in their hearts. How did they expect that things would suddenly develop like this
Xiao Shu was stunned.
You Yue's chin almost fell to the ground!
However, Shen Zhiyi had already determined in her heart that Jiang Xuening was a poor little man who didn't care about her mother and didn't love her. She was in such a situation at home, how could she prepare a gift for herself
But she almost blamed it, and it really shouldn't be.
So in addition to being distressed, I couldn't help but want to be nice to her, so I pointed to my bookcase and said, "Look, they all gave it to me, you can see if there is any one you like, and I will give it to you!"
Jiang Xuening: "..."
brush brush brush -
Eye knives flying around!
Everyone couldn't believe what they heard. The gift they carefully prepared for the eldest princess was actually turned by the eldest princess and gave it to someone who didn't prepare a gift for her at all? !
Co-author only Jiang Xuening is a treasure, we are all grass!
Not to mention them, even Jiang Xuening couldn't help but give them a heart attack.
Immediately afterwards, he was heartbroken for himself.
This is simply a moment to draw everyone's hatred for himself!
But looking at the sincere and bright face in front of her, she was really kind to her, and she really couldn't blame her.
So, Jiang Xuening suddenly had a new understanding—
From now on, I will wholeheartedly hug Shen Zhiyi's thick thigh. As for others, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like they can get along again, just love whoever!
In Fengchen Hall, the atmosphere was stagnant for a while.
Everyone has their minds.
Fortunately, a calm voice came from outside the hall at the moment, breaking the suffocating silence. It was Xie Weijian who stepped up the steps and asked softly, "Have your Royal Highness the Princess and the companions arrived?"
Jiang Xuening's eyelids jumped immediately.
