At this time, Xue Kexin had already received the news and rushed over with people in a panic to check the situation.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo was just standing there trembling and nothing happened, Xue Kerxin breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it was a flower viewing party at the princess's residence. It would be bad if another life was lost.
Xue Kexin, who was coming, happened to hear what Xiao Xixi said next.
She asked: "Mrs. Huo, I saw you were not at the lake when I left just now. I wonder why you wanted to go there?"
Mrs. Huo didn't expect that Xue Kexin would also help Xiao Xixi to speak. In full view of everyone, she couldn't answer the conversation at all and simply pretended to be faint.
The Huo family's maid also rushed over.
Xue Keyin ordered people to carry Mrs. Huo away and take her to the lounge to change into clothes. She also asked the government doctor to come and take a look at her.
Xiao Xixi was too lazy to expose her, but she remembered this person and dared to trick her.
Although she is not as arrogant and domineering as the original owner, facing someone who wants to harm her, there is nothing wrong with taking revenge.
After arranging Mrs. Huo's affairs, Xue Keyin came to express her apology to Xiao Xixi: "Cousin, you have been wronged."
Of course Xiao Xixi was kind to people who were willing to show her kindness, so she smiled at Xue Kerxin and said, "I'm fine, let's go back."
By the time the female relatives returned to the reception area, the male guests already knew that someone had fallen into the water.
Xiao Xixi felt that many people were staring at her. She glanced and found that Leng Moran was also looking at her.
The distance was a bit far, and she couldn't explain the situation to Leng Moran. She could only say silently in her heart: "It's not me, it's not me."
Leng Moran heard her voice and turned back his eyes silently.
Xiao Xixi also looked away and found a seat to sit down, completely ignoring other people's pointing.
Soon, Princess Yongzhao appeared and the flower viewing party officially began.
The eldest princess did not mention Mrs. Huo falling into the water, but she had already ordered someone to investigate.
After learning that a servant saw that Mrs. Huo was trying to push Xiao Xixi into the water, but instead slipped and fell into the lake, the eldest princess's eyes flashed with displeasure.
Mrs. Huo had already changed her clothes and woke up. The doctor checked her pulse and confirmed that there was no problem.
The eldest princess asked someone to send her back, and asked Master Huo, a member of the household department, to take good care of his wife.
Although she didn't have much affection for Xiao Xixi, Xiao Xixi was Princess Yan after all and a member of their royal family. How could she be framed by others at will?
The eldest princess calmed down and ordered people to perform dances.
While Xiao Xixi was eating, she was wary of the actions of the people around her.
When the eldest princess looked at her for the seventeenth time, she suddenly suggested that the noble girl perform a dance. Xiao Xixi immediately felt that she was related to her.
The dance is performed in the open space of the banquet, where both men and women can watch.
Xiao Xixi put down her chopsticks and observed carefully, and sure enough she found that a noble lady surrounded by dancing girls frequently looked at Leng Moran.
Another noble lady also watched Leng Mo Ran twice, although she didn't do it that frequently.
Xiao Xixi thought for a while, there were quite a few female relatives in the back house of Prince Yan's palace, but she was the only one who really had a reputation. It seemed that the eldest princess wanted to let these two noble ladies in.
To be favored by the eldest princess, her status is probably not low, and she will most likely become a concubine.
Xiao Xixi frowned. The noble girl who always looked at Leng Moran was not an honest person at first glance. She would probably cause trouble if she entered the house.
But she couldn't seem to change the eldest princess's mind, so she could only hope that Leng Moran would come forward and refuse.
But looking at the appearance of the two of them, Xiao Xixi was as unmotivated as an eggplant beaten by frost.
Such a good-looking girl, even she couldn't bear to reject her, let alone a man.
But which family are they from?
Xiao Xixi was wondering about the identity of the two people when she heard someone talking.
"I didn't expect Miss Hu Wu to dance so gracefully."
"I think the second young lady of Nan'an Marquis Mansion is pretty good too."
Xiao Xixi looked through the memory of the original owner and confirmed that she had never seen these two people.
There were many officials with the surname Hu. She didn't know who Miss Hu Wu was for the moment, but she was sure that Miss Hu Wu's identity was definitely not as high as hers.
As for the Marquis of Nan'an Mansion, the original owner had some impression that it was a declining family. The title of Marquis of Nan'an could only be passed down to three generations, and he was the last generation. After the death of the current Marquis of Nan'an, the Marquis Mansion would probably be removed from the noble family.
.
From this point of view, the status of the second lady of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion is not high.
Sure enough, when the two of them finished dancing, the eldest princess asked Leng Mo Ran with a smile: "What do you think of Mo'er?"
Leng Moran's face was calm and he said: "The dance is beautiful, and my aunt has a good taste."
Xiao Xixi's heart skipped a beat. She obviously wanted to accept this answer.
The eldest princess took advantage of the situation and said: "You only have a princess by your side, and you don't have a concubine to help you. It's really inappropriate. Miss Zong Er and Miss Hu Wu are similar in age to you, and they have never been married. Why not let them enter the palace and become concubines?
.”
Everyone who came to the banquet was not stupid. They had already seen the eldest princess's intention during the dance performance, so many people kept observing Xiao Xixi's expression.
This month, people in the capital have said that Princess Yan and the female family members of the palace are getting along harmoniously. Today, they saw with their own eyes that King Yan cared for Princess Yan. In addition, Princess Yan's reputation before getting married was always not good, so everyone was even more looking forward to Xiao Xixi's meeting.
Directly refuted the eldest princess's face.
Xiao Xixi had been expecting Leng Moran to refuse.
Unfortunately, the expected scene did not appear.
Leng Moran responded: "Sorry, my aunt is worried."
Xiao Xixi originally thought there would be more to say, but after waiting for a long time, what she found was that the eldest princess arranged for the two of them to come in ten days later.
The two noble ladies knelt down and kowtowed to thank the eldest princess.
The eldest princess then turned her attention to Xiao Xixi and asked with a smile: "Won't you blame me for making my own decisions, right?"
The spectators looked at Xiao Xixi expectantly.
Although Xiao Xixi was a little disappointed, she didn't have much feelings for Leng Moran, so she was able to be generous and said: "The eldest princess is the elder, and it is the blessing of the palace to be able to worry about the prince. It's all because I am still young, so I can't do many things.
I understand, that’s why I haven’t accepted a concubine for the prince for so long.”
When he said this, everyone around him was dumbfounded.
Princess Yan, you have only been married for a month. You sound like you have been married for several years.
How can anyone take concubines for her husband right after they get married?
The eldest princess was quite satisfied. She thought that if Xiao Xixi dared to make trouble with her, she wouldn't mind persuading Leng Moran to ignore her.
Now seeing such an answer, the eldest princess smiled at her: "You are sensible."
By this time, the banquet was almost over.
After the eldest princess left the table, the guests also left the table one after another.
Some ladies come with their husbands, so after their husbands give a distant wink, they say goodbye to those around them and leave.
Some people came alone and lingered just to see if Xiao Xixi would do anything else.
But what they waited for was a mouthful of dog food.
